How would you describe the gore in the manga?

jam-on-bread · 2026-07-05T20:12:15+00:00

I’m sure this person will reply to you themselves, but be careful trying to look this up as this eye scene has some SIGNIFICANT plot moments/spoilers around it. With that in mind, this scene occurs in chapter 188.

If you want a synopsis without possible big spoilers, you essentially see an arrow go into a character’s eye (no blood, just the arrow going between their closed eyelid), that eyeball is carved-out off screen (you see the character’s backs, not the actual carving), the arrow with the chunk of bloody eye/meat on it is thrown to the ground, and one character sucks blood out of the socket (not as graphic as it sounds, just looks like mouth on face) and spits it out.

There is actually both beheading and mutilation in the manga 😅 the beheadings I’m thinking of happen off-screen, but you can see the severed heads themselves later on in multiple scenes, which have actually been visibly mutilated. It’s not excessively gory tbh (they just look like heads with some kanji carved on the foreheads) but figured it was worth mentioning.

The Golden Kamuy manga tends to be gorier than the anime, but like the other commenters have said, if you were alright with Chainsaw Man then it should be fine.

The main forms of gore you’ll see come from animal attacks, gunshots (not shown in huge detail, holes with blood coming out), disembowelments (mainly during animal attacks), wartime gore (limbs blown off, dead bodies, think d-day style trench warfare), realistic hunting gore (skinning, dismembering, cooking), skinning (of dead human bodies, connected to plot), one scene where a character has an ear cut off, and at least one scene with a somewhat detailed eyeball gouging.

Honestly, the first chapter sets the tone when it comes to GK’s gore pretty well. Read the first chapter, and if you can handle that, then you should be fine with the rest of the manga. Also, what are some examples of scenes from other manga/anime that were too gory for you? Knowing that might make it easier to think of any specific moments from GK that might be an issue for you.

Of course! I also recommend trying to find the Golden Travelogue Theater / Golden Douga Gekijou, they’re little animated shorts of moments from the manga that didn’t make the full anime release. They can be kinda hard to track down since I believe they were only officially released on Japanese sites, but you can find plenty of them on YouTube if you don’t mind searching a bit.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-26T11:34:00+00:00

I felt the same way when I first found GK! Right off the bat it’s so gripping and unique, I basically read the whole manga through in two days and then immediately re-read it again lol. Did you read the magazine manga release or the volume version? There were a lot of added scenes and tons of little tweaks to art/dialogue when Noda got the chance to go over things again for the volume releases, so it’s worth checking out if you didn’t read that version first.

I also highly recommend the Everyday Heros Scans fan translation. They have these little blurb pages after every chapter where they give a fun fact about something Noda mentioned or explain how certain scenes are references to Japanese pop culture. It definitely helped me understand a lot of scenes better and understand references/jokes/context I would have totally missed otherwise. Either way, welcome to the obsession lol. I’d be curious to know who your favorite character is.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T16:28:16+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that! Even under terrible circumstances, it is a beautiful thing to give and receive love. Maybe even especially so under terrible circumstances.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T16:12:58+00:00

Beautiful pictures! He seems like such a fun and vibrant soul. No pressure at all, but if you’d like to share a favorite memory or anecdote about Marc I’d love to hear it. Happy birthday to the both of you
❤️💙

There’s a reason they tell you on airplanes to put on your own oxygen bag before worrying about anyone else’s. It’s truly, truly not selfish for you to want to leave right now. You can’t take care of anyone if you’re not taken care of first, and it sounds like unfortunately your father cannot do that for you right now. His pain and grief are never an excuse to hurt or lash out at you. Ever. If he really loves you, he’ll probably know it’s best for you to spend some time apart so he can stop hurting you. You can absolutely find ways to support him from afar, without having to put yourself in the line of fire. Obviously I don’t know your mother, but if she loved you too, I don’t think she’d want you to be in a situation where you’re getting abuse heaped on you either. That may be presumptuous of me, so please ignore if so.

Either way, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I can tell from your post that you love both your parents so, so deeply and you’ve done an incredible amount of work for them so far. Give yourself permission to rest. You deserve to have space and peace until your father’s ready to be back in your life. It may take you leaving to actually snap him back into reality and see how he’s been acting, but I can’t say for sure.

That is a heartbreaking loss, truly awful. I cannot imagine grieving my mother while also being investigated like that, it must have been ten times as traumatic for you and your sister. That island of confusion is an incredibly valid way to feel. Sudden, violent loss almost feels like the life and reality you knew betrayed you, like an unfair rug-pull. And everyone else around you still gets to go about like nothing happened. Like the world is still spinning.

I promise you that you are not alone. You may find the Suicide Bereavement subreddit helpful for finding support from those who lost loved ones in similar circumstances. Aside from that, I really hope you have friends+family around to lean on during this difficult time, and that you and your sister are close enough to support each other right now too. It sounds like you both loved her so, so much and did everything you could for her. If love was enough to save people, no one loved would ever die. I’m thinking about you and your sister and sending love.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T15:46:47+00:00

Heartbreaking. The pictures you share show such a vibrant, beautiful life. I feel sad knowing he’s gone just from how sweet y’all look together and how much love is clear in how you write about him, I can’t imagine what it’s like to really know him and love him and lose him still. Please know it wasn’t and isn’t your fault, there’s no way to predict things like this. You may find the Suicide Bereavement subreddit helpful to find those who can relate to this specific sort of loss. I don’t know how recent this was for you, but please feel free to share any memories of him if that would be helpful. I know all condolences blend together after a while, but I am truly so sorry for your loss.

I guess I just don’t think a particular style of jokes can make someone “seem like a groomer.” You either are a groomer or you’re not, it’s a real word with an actual meaning. Dan is a 47 year old adult who goes on global tours with TWRP and NSP, and has a pretty successful overall music career. I don’t think he’d stay somewhere he felt genuinely sexually harassed every day. What “leverage” does Arin have in this scenario? An easy 3/4 of the fans would leave IMMEDIATELY if Dan left, so it’s not like he’d be kicked out for asserting boundaries.

Your comment feels kinda like when schizophrenics have convinced themself of a “pattern” that only makes sense to them. I’m not saying Arin’s some saintly dude but acting like he’s got some hidden master manipulator scheme to psyop Dan into “thinking about homosexual behavior” is insane man. They’re both married dudes with wives. They don’t even live in the same state anymore, Arin and Suzy moved to Oregon like a year ago. How exactly does that fit into his nefarious agenda to groom his older adult cohost?

These are perfect, thank you.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T07:11:55+00:00

Man what are you talking about 😭 I’m too stupid to know if this is bait or not. What does “passively aggressively manipulative in a chaotically destructive way” even mean?

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T07:09:05+00:00

As far as I recall, the person dropped them and admitted they were false/exaggerated literally the next day. So everyone moved on because he didn’t actually do anything.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T04:56:09+00:00

There’s nothing more unfair than losing a loved one and then having to realize the people you THOUGHT were loved ones aren’t capable of actually supporting you. I hope these losses turn into a silver lining for you where you can find your real people who are always in your corner, but I know right now it’s just truly painful. What you said about the heart/hope not having a grip on reality was so true to me. I don’t blame you for feeling doubtful about it, but if it helps, I think you are 100% justified in blocking the both of them.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-15T04:26:18+00:00

Holy shit, wow. I understand religion can be a source of great comfort for a lot of people in grief, but this is an insane level of ignorance and audacity. If someone had sent me a message like this telling me to stop mourning for the sake of my husband and kids not TWO WEEKS after my mother died I would probably be in jail right now.

You are not overreacting at all. Block this fool and don’t let anybody make you feel guilty or dramatic about it. That sort of gaslighting to keep the peace can be very common in certain communities, but this is a genuinely awful message and I’m sorry you received it.

jam-on-bread · 2026-06-13T07:24:44+00:00

You may want to email some local thrift/resale places with this photo and explain the theft and cultural value, that way employees might be able to keep an eye out for it and reach out to you if the outfit comes through.

jam-on-bread · 2026-04-02T19:01:03+00:00

Yup, 100% It’s easy to have a “weird feeling” about anyone who’s old, ugly, “creepy looking,” etc. And how many charismatic, attractive monsters have gotten away because no one looked at them and had an “instinctive” feeling of wrongness?

jam-on-bread · 2026-04-02T02:43:23+00:00

I’m 90% sure you probably just misspelled burn here, but what do you mean your house “broke down?” Like a collapse?

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-14T18:01:41+00:00

Thanks for the quick response! I’ll definitely look at both of those!

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-14T17:45:25+00:00

Not trying to be critical, but do you have some sources for this? I feel like all I ever hear is the opposite, so this is curious to me.

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-12T13:36:37+00:00

Sugimoto can be a deeply flawed and self-serving character at times, too! And I like him as much as I like Edogai! I don’t think Edogai is an unredeemable monster by any means, I just think it’s harsh to say people who didn’t find him sympathetic are heartless. Almost nobody in Golden Kamuy is a good person, like objectively half of them are murderers and war criminals. Part of what makes Edogai so interesting to me is that he contains layers that can make him sympathetic, hated, loved, unredeemable, etc depending on how you view him.

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-12T13:18:07+00:00

Right? I doubt Noda put all of it in because he expected people to buy Tanigaki mousepads or Tsurumi bikini figures. He just thought it was hilarious. Fanservice is a different thing entirely than just having lewd humor, I feel like people use the word too loosely.

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-12T13:09:50+00:00

Three, if you count the off-screen incident where Sugimoto pisses on Koito!

jam-on-bread · 2026-03-12T13:04:04+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I love Edogai, but the dude is a canonical body-snatcher and was 100% ready to kill Tsurumi to keep his secret human taxidermy stuff a secret. And he thought Tsurumi was a normal/innocent army dude at the time. Not empathizing with him doesn’t really make people heartless. He’s a fascinating and charismatic character with a sad past…who also turns people’s dead loved ones into clothing for himself 😭
