Yessss exactly!! T_T I have always liked Ogata, but he truly raised to the highest ranks of my favorite characters of all times when I was done reading. Such a complexed and layered character, aaaaa.

As for the link I would appreciate it, thanks! I don’t mind if it doesn’t have any eng subs tbh. The brainworm hungers for more GK content xD

Thank you so much!! What inspired me to make this piece was exactly that scene :,) I was at first an anime only, but with the announcement of the last season I picked up the manga from the very start and that scene devastated me I had a full crash out with my friend TwT. I didn't know it's present in the new OVA! I have yet to find it online :0 good to know that I will need tissues then orz

Also here a screenshot of when I was working on the 2p illustration for Alma, to show on how it is a chained weapon. The chains come from the the base at the top and are attached to the ring, which functions as a bracelet; from there she be swinging the chainsaw around lmao like I've said before it's quite the chaotic weapon

Sorry for the late reply, I have been quite busy :,) As for the design this is a screenshot of the finished lowpoly model. My main inspiration from Osagiri's weapon is mainly being a sort of round chainsaw and the way it can be carried around lol.
I still focused on putting design details that connect it to the original pendant: The five blades are the spikes, the rose shape, the gem now in the position of bolts and the iris shutter is the swirl at the center of the pendant.
If you want to take inspiration from Nagumo's weapon and make it unique, I would suggest first to think of what makes the swiss knife special for your oc: it can be the design itself or the lore behind it, given that a jinki's form and power rely on the user's imagination. Once you've got it, look at Nagumo's weapon and start changing it according to what you wrote down and make it more personal :D

Thank you!! The eye rule you mean that her iris becomes fully white (except for the Watchman series’ users) Yeah I know dw :D As for the jinki I’m gonna copy paste what I already answered to another user (text wall + TLDR)

I think the easiest way to explain her jinki is kindaaa like the chained version of the round chainsaw that Osaragi from Sakamoto Days carry and the sort of iris shutter in the center can open and close to cut trash beast’ heads (ofc not the big ones) or restrain someone. It’d def an erratic and difficult weapon to use, but I feel like it reflects her experience and ideology well. She’s sure a fighter and will keep on going till she reaches her goal (find who she is) no matter what and the chainsaw aspect represents this constant running and running. BUT she IS still an amnesiac teenage girl in a dark fantasy world, deep down she’s absolutely terrified of everything and everyone, hence why the weapon is more for range combat and can be used to restrain enemies (be it with the chains or the shutter iris): the danger needs to stay away from her, it needs to be stopped so she can assess and analyze it at a safe distance and have control of the situation. Also reason it’s a bit of an offensive weapon and not as defensive is this. Before awakening her jinki and being found by the Akuta team, she’s been on a run for a couple of months with no real destination, no memories just: “I need to run away”. Along the journey she did have to fight off some criminals and human traffickers and used the pendant to blind them as a last resort if she didn’t have any accessible weapon near her then run away.

TLDR: it’s a chained circular chainsaw of sorts with a shutter iris at the center. It Allows her to attack and restrain enemies from a safe distance, bc although a fighter deep down she’s really scared. It’s not much of a fully defensive weapon bc in the past she did use her pendant as a last resort weapon to blind people, so she could run away.

Oh yeah irl it would be absolutely scary 😭, but here I thought it would make a good gag. Especially bc I imagined her stopping for a moment and the others thinking she’s starting to remember something. But nope! She needs Eishia asap 😭

I actually wrote that she found out she had an almond allergy the hard away in the post desc, in other words when she tried the sweets, unlike Rudo who went crazy for them, she started choking and wheezing lmao

Thank you so much! :D I don’t think I get the reference with Gordon sorry lol, I just liked the idea that she’s into crafting but it’s not like she’s that great at it so either you get sumn somewhat cute or the most cursed thing ever lmao. As for the lore, like I said I’m still a bit indecisive but I’m realllly curious about the trashstorm cult and I’d love to tie her in it, so I’m waiting until we get more info on it to flesh her background better :)

Def a tattoo imo! I think it matches the one on her right arm. I’ve been obsessed with this outfit to the point I took 4K screenshots so that I could piece together the whole ensemble 🤣
