![]() That’s one question me may never get the answer to, unless they decide to address the issue in the upcoming brand-new City Hunter anime movie. “What I want to know is how he’s still alive after getting hit with those things.” “Come to think of it, I remember certain scenes in the manga where he does dodge her hammer, and pretty easily, so it’s not like he’s incapable of doing it.”īut while Hojo’s explanation clears up one anime mystery, there’s another that’s still a headscratcher, as pointed out by another commenter: That explanation, as well as the simmering romantic tension between Ryo and Kaori that runs throughout the series, had commenters leaving remarks such as: Unbeknownst to his family however, he decides to enroll in the top high school in town to live as a normal high schooler. So at least in the case of City Hunter, the hero is getting hit because he knows it’s the natural endpoint of the chain reaction his antics set off, and not so much that he’s being caught unaware by the blow. Born in a family of delinquents, Nanba Tsuyoshi is expected to succeed his older brother as the strongest delinquent in school. You could say it’s like the punchline for his actions, but deep down in his heart he’s probably wishing Kaori would stop hitting him.” “Question: Why can’t Ryo dodge Kaori’s hammer?Īnswer: It’s not that he ‘can’t’ dodge it, it’s that he doesn’t dodge it. The answer probably varies by series, but manga author/artist Tsukasa Hojo, creator of City Hunter (from which the above clip is taken) recently explained, via his Twitter account, the logic behind why his franchise’s star, athletic/pervy private eye/mercenary Ryo, is so frequently unable to get out of the way of hammers being swung by his more earnest-minded business partner Kaori.Ī. But wait, isn’t anime also the medium in which super-agile heroes can leap, spin, and contort however necessary to dodge the attacks of the series’ bad guys? So why can’t they dodge those hammer attacks, like the one shown here? In any case, though, it’s a bludgeoning weapon, and the guy catches it square in the face. Typically it’s a roguish male lead who finds himself on the receiving end of the gesture, as some real or imagined slight causes a female character to whip a jumbo-sized mallet out of thin air and pummel him with it. One of anime’s proudest visual storytelling traditions is the hammer smash. I think that says a lot.One of the trope’s pioneers explains why the star of his hit anime can go toe-to-toe with criminals, but gets smacked around by his female partner.

Also his every attempt to solve problems with guns makes the show absolutely hilarious. ![]() The charm of the show stems from his bone-headed clashes with Captain Trunk and partner Detective Doreau.
