堂島 大吾, Dōjima Daigo

Type: Traditional

Features: Fudo Myo-oh wreathed in cleansing flames 

Fudo Myo-oh - The manifestation of the Dainichi Buddha, who seeks to use his fury and angry expression to frighten people into following the Buddhist teachings. There are two designs for Fudo Myo-o, one where his eyes are both wide open and one where he has one eye closed. Both eye being open represents the nation’s spiritual protection, while one eye closed (as with Daigo’s tattoo) represents personal protection. He represents the luminescent wisdom of Buddhism, protects the Buddhist teachings, removes all obstacles to enlightenment, and forces evil to surrender. He is depicted carrying his sword “Kurikara” the demon-subjugating sword, a rope for restraining demons, and seated (sometimes on a rock) to represent his immovable faith.

Fudo Myo-oh’s sword and the dragon wound around the blade are both named “Kurikara.” They reference a story in which Fudo Myo-oh fights a demon who transformed itself into a sword. Fudo Myo-oh also turned himself into a sword to continue the battle, and when Fudo Myo-oh still can not win the battle he turns himself into a dragon and engulfs the sword with flames, defeating the demon. Kurikara is said to hold the knowledge of the swordfighting arts, which it will share with the worthy.

Flames - Fudo Myo-oh’s flaming aura represents the purification of the mind by the burning away of all material desires. Flames also represent passion, energy, desire, and movement

14: The voice that encourages you when you got homesick during your trip alone

What is it? homesick already? Ah, it can’t be helped. But… I think I want to eat West's home-made cooking.* I somehow went on a trip, but… maybe it’s time to go home soon.

What about you? That’s right, you’ll go home too. That’s fine, too. This isn’t the only trip. You can always start another one!

*Not sure about this translation, what do you think?

14: La voz que te anima cuando extrañas tu hogar durante tu viaje solitario

¿Qué pasa? ¿Ya estás nostálgico? Ah, es algo inevitable. Pero... Pienso en cuanto quiero comer la comida casera de West.* Y aún así me fui de viaje, pero... tal vez sea tiempo de volver a casa pronto.

¿Qué hay de ti? Así es, quieres volver a casa también. Eso está bien. Este no será el único viaje. ¡Siempre puedes volver a hacer otro!

*No estoy segura si está bien esta traducción ¿Qué les parece?

Daigo Dojima looking extra handsome in Yakuza 7

ooc. Yakuza 5 is my least favorite game in the franchise, but it has some of Daigo’s most powerful lines about himself in my opinion. A good deal of my interpretation of his character comes from what he does and says during 5.

Why can't I find this anywhere-

Sooo, this is a strip Himaruya made for a dounjinshi anthology back in 2008, called The World of Hetalia Exhibition Commemoration Anthology: Premium (世界のヘタリア展記念アンソロジー ぷれみあむ！). It's about France and England arguing over who invented condoms, and it popped up in my mind again after coming across that post about Japan and Greece having potentially had sex (because this strip also ends with Greece). I couldn't find it anywhere and I started wondering if it was just a fever dream I had, but actually it does exist! I only found this page though, and the post I took it from said the source was Hetarchives (which is also where I read it many years ago) ... Except now I just cannot find it. I don't know where to look ;-;

Does anyone happen to have a link or something..? :/

EDIT. I forgot to mention, the strip itself was titled I Want to Press Various Things Onto You (お前に色々おしつけたい。).

I need a better tagging system lmao I'm a bit sad to see so much gone and lost
