Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (銀牙 -流れ星 銀-, literally "Silver Fang: The Shooting Star Gin") is an adventure/action Shōnen manga published in Shonen Jump between 1983 to 1987. The mangaka, Yoshihiro Takahashi, took inspiration from an article he read about pet dogs that had run away from their owners to live in the wilderness. Subsequently he created a story about... pet dogs that had run away from their owners to live in the wilderness.Yes, this story is about talking dogs.Let's be more specific: it stars Gin, an Akita pup and the son of the bear-hunting dog Riki. Riki and his owner, Gohei Takeda, had been hunting a deranged bear known as Akakabuto (based on a famous historical rogue bear who terrorized a town) after the bear killed Riki's father. Circumstances led to Gohei losing his leg, and Riki seemingly falling to his death. Thus, Gohei needed a new hunting dog. He picked Gin.Months later, Gin, after having been trained by Gohei and returned to his original owner, Daisuke, leaves his friend to join a pack of wild dogs. It turns out that Riki survived, but with amnesia, and had formed a pack to fight and finish off Akakabuto and his fellow bears. So begins an adventure involving many battles, traveling across Japan to find allies, and learning battle techniques.Eventually, the manga was adapted into an anime by Toei Animation in 1986. This was subsequently dubbed into a number of Scandinavian languages, and it became popular enough in those countries to get uncut rereleases. Why "uncut"? Well, most notably, both the manga and the anime are extremely violent and gory - enough for one site to describe it as "said to be one of the most violent anime ever". Don't count on it being dubbed into English anytime soon, though a decent fan-made sub was put out a few years ago.The manga itself is another matter, as it remained strictly a case of No Export for You for years and overseas fans could only read it via scanlations. However, eventually Finnish publishers began translating it and the rest of the series due to the franchise's popularity there. Official English translations for the longest time were limited to the first three volumes of Weed being in published in North America, before the publisher went out of business. However, in 2020 the online manga distribution website Manga Planet obtained the license for translating the series, finally providing a legal way for English-speaking readers to access the original manga.The series has since spawned an entire media franchise with sequels, spinoffs, plenty of supplimentary material, tons of merchandise, and even a musical. While not anywhere near as popular as the reigning titans of the anime/manga industry, over the years it has developed a dedicated following both inside Japan and out, and both the the series & celebrations of it continue to this day.Assorted works in the franchise include: Ginga Densetsu Weed (1999-2009) — The first sequels series which follows Gin's son Weed. Ginga Densetsu Riki (2000) — A single-volume manga prequel that follows a young Riki. Ginga Densetsu Weed Gaiden (2001) — A collection of short stories that take place during Weed. Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Shin Gaiden (2009) — A collection of short stories that take place during Gin. Ginga Densetsu Weed: Orion (2009-2014) — The second sequel series which follows Weed's children. Ginga Densetsu Akame (2014) — A spinoff/prequel miniseries about Akame's ancestor. Ginga: The Last Wars (2015-2019) — The third sequel series which continues from Orion. Ginga Densetsu Noah (2019-present) — A spinoff/sequel that continues from The Last Wars.Now has a character sheet. | |

Unfortunately, not long after Gin goes to join the dogs of Ohu, leaving Daisuke behind. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Not counting the Aborted Arc mentioned above, the anime naturally leaves out many things from the manga, though one of the most prominent moments is probably the sequence about Daisuke's despair over Gin's disappearance, along with John's disbelief towards the Ohu army and his fight with Riki that ultimately convinces him, which is only briefly mentioned in the anime. To recap, Daisuke is frequently looking for Gin, one day being witnessed by John as he ventures out into the woods. John, remembering the promise he gave Gin about looking after Daisuke, follows him and, not surprisingly, a bear appears. While Daisuke is knocked unconscious, John does his best to fight the bear but finds himself having trouble, when Riki suddenly appears which causes the bear to flee by the mere sight of him. John proceeds to challenge Riki to a fight, but to his shock is easily defeated by him. Riki then gives John a Rousing Speech which finally convinces him of joining the Ohu army. | |

Scenery Porn: There are lots of gorgeously animated shots of snowy mountains, nature during summer and later autumn, and many stunning locations where Gin and his pack pass or arrive at during their journey. Especially during the first 2 minutes in episode 8 after the credits, there are many lovely shots of mountains or roads and lakes as we see them running from many different angles. The manga is no slouch either, with Takahashi doing a wonderful job depicting the wilderness of Northern Japan. | |

Hong Kong Dub | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_51a12a6f | comment |
Hong Kong Dub: The Finnish dub struggles with lip-synching, with characters sometimes still briefly talking after their mouths no longer move or, conversely, their mouths moving after the line is over or even before the line even begins. Still the dialogue mostly manages to start and end exactly where it should. The dialogue issues are due two things: One, being translated through the Swedish script to Finnish either makes some of the dialogue too short or too long to match the lip synching due to Swedish not being easily turned into Finnish and grammatical cords that don't exist in Finnish Grammar. Two, the dub was rushed, with 4 actors (2 male 2 female) having to do every scene in 1 single take, which slightly hampers their vocal performances. This is due to the company named Golden Voice Oy being a minor dubbing company that had recently started it's business, and therefore not did not have enough resources to do retakes. The dub managed to become popular after over the years, and some fans are attached to it. | |

Adaptation Induced Plothole: In the Scandinavian release of the show, three entire episodes were removed including the part at the end where Akakabuto stands up one final time and fatally wounds Riki. Because of this, viewers were left confused for a good while as to where certain characters such as Benizakura went, or how Riki were fine one moment only to lie bloody on the ground the next. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Not counting the Aborted Arc mentioned above, the anime naturally leaves out many things from the manga, though one of the most prominent moments is probably the sequence about Daisuke's despair over Gin's disappearance, along with John's disbelief towards the Ohu army and his fight with Riki that ultimately convinces him, which is only briefly mentioned in the anime. To recap, Daisuke is frequently looking for Gin, one day being witnessed by John as he ventures out into the woods. John, remembering the promise he gave Gin about looking after Daisuke, follows him and, not surprisingly, a bear appears. While Daisuke is knocked unconscious, John does his best to fight the bear but finds himself having trouble, when Riki suddenly appears which causes the bear to flee by the mere sight of him. John proceeds to challenge Riki to a fight, but to his shock is easily defeated by him. Riki then gives John a Rousing Speech which finally convinces him of joining the Ohu army. The dogs start talking much earlier in the manga than in the anime, to which the latter leaves out some interesting interactions. For instance, Gin and John do nothing but growl at each other in Episode 5 of the anime, while in the manga, you get to read the actual conversation they're having. If Gin had started talking as early as he did in the manga, he would have begun already in Episode 3. Not to mention, the bears occasionally talk in the manga too. Another part that appears to come out of nowhere in the anime is a Dachshund named Oliver arriving to help Cross, Gin and Benizakura, with Cross explaining he had saved her before. In the manga, Cross had run into two dogs who wanted to rape her, leading to Oliver saving her. This was also likely cut for time and/or the "attempted rape" scene might have been deemed too inappropriate. | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: Cross is the only female in the huge pack and her biggest accomplishment is giving birth to Ben's puppies. Still, the show is less sexist than its sequels Ginga Densetsu Weed, where there are no lead female dogs, or Ginga Densetsu Weed: Orion, where the only female character is portrayed as whiny and submissive. | |

In the manga, after Hyena proclaims his Heel–Face Turn and falls down the gorge, he ends up in a river along with Ben and Sniper, and proceeds to save Ben from drowning. Not surprisingly, Sniper kills him shortly after for this. Per future installments of the series, Hyena survives. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The number of dogs in the pack, while large to begin with, grows ever larger as time goes on, even getting into the hundreds. How all these dogs find enough food for the whole pack is never explained. At the very least, they must be consuming all the prey in the surrounding area everywhere they go. It's shown in an early episode, where the pack only numbers about 70 or so, that they eat an entire bear carcass down to the bones overnight. | |

| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Or rather, Spared by the Bowdlerization. In Scandinavia, the anime received some haphazard cuts attempting to remove the worst instances of gratuitous gore, which led to some important scenes (as well as three entire episodes) getting the shaft. This cut version omits the deaths of Terry, Kirikaze, Jinnai, Benizakura, Sniper, Hyena and Akatora, causing quite a bit of What Happened to the Mouse? for keen-eyed viewers. Though in a bit of irony, Sniper really ended up being Not Quite Dead in the sequel. | |

Action Prologue: The first episode opens with Takeda Gohei and Shiro in the middle of hunting Akakabuto. In the Ginga Densetsu Riki prequel, it's revealed that Riki was actually at the scene of the time while still a puppy, witnessing his father giving his life to push himself along with Akakabuto off a cliff. Which is ironic when 8 years later, Riki falls off a cliff because of Akakabuto as well, while being witnessed by his son, Gin. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_82ff8b68 | comment |
Artistic License – Animal Care: You absolutely do not train a puppy into a hunting dog by beating it senseless with chopped wood or making it jump into a freezing, raging river. In the Gingaverse however, dogs are as sentient as humans, resulting in it being counted as Training from Hell rather than actual animal abuse. Although, people in-universe do call Gohei out on his methods being far too cruel, to which he responds that "If a dog can't avoid an old man's kick, how will it avoid a bear's paw?" note From the Ginga Densetsu Riki prequel. The series' portrayal of Japanese dog fighting is very heavy on the artistic licenses. Dog fighting in Japan has more in common with sumo wrestling than the awful Western bloodsport, and the dogs "fight" by attempting to push each other out of the ring. During their epic showdown, Benizakura and Tsuna-arashi would both have gotten disqualified many times over were it a real-life match. Growling, barking, and injuring the opposing dog are strictly prohibited in actual fights. | |

Middle Child Syndrome | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_83a30cd3 | comment |
Middle Child Syndrome: Chutora. He has a much smaller role compared to Akatora and Kurotora and is mysteriously absent in the sequel. His role is so small that not even the series' creator could remember what actually happened to him between the series when this was asked. As some consolation, though, Chutora is something of an Ensemble Dark Horse among the fandom. Gin's brothers also suffer from this. They only appear in the first few chapters in the manga and get only maybe about five collective minutes of screen time over the course of eight episodes in the anime. Despite being Riki's sons as well, they're instantly deemed of no use as bearhounds and Daisuke they'd make better family pets or showdogs instead. They never say a single word, nor do they even get properly named, but are known as "Hiya-n" (brown) and "Giyan" (white) by the fandom. | |

Truth in Television: Dogs do get trained to hunt or fight bears in real life as well (though the latter is considered animal cruelty as it's used for entertainment with the bear in a rope). The story itself is apparently based off a mix between real life incidents of dogs running away from their owners to become wild dogs, and bears terrorizing a village in the mountains. | |

Bait-and-Switch: When Gohei and Riki are trapped in a crevice in the first episode, Gohei eventually takes out his machete and decides that "no matter what, I'll survive this", making it look like he intends to kill Riki to feed off his meat. Turns out he meant to chop off his own leg so Riki could instead feed off his meat, only Riki refuses out of loyalty. | |

Bears Are Bad News | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_8d718b9e | comment |
Bears Are Bad News: This series is a textbook case of this. Almost every single bear to ever be shown is a horrifying monstrosity, and in most cases they need to be killed before they can slaughter whatever crosses their path. The only possible exceptions are the mother and her cubs that Daisuke & Gin find, since the cubs are too young to be a threat and the mother is just trying to protect them. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The subtitled episodes provided by Anime Suuxe Den are littered with mistranslations and grammar mistakes. Some examples are: The subtitles from anime_fin are generally higher in quality, but even they have their problems. Young dogs are consistently referred to as "cubs", capitalization is all over the place, and words are sometimes compounded when they shouldn't be (eg. "Monsterbear"). The word choices are also occasionally rather unusual, such as when Jaguar exclaims "Bloody hell!" when confronted by Sniper. The subs are also very similar to the official Finnish ones, to the point where it's possible that the Finnish script was run through a translation program and added to the episodes unedited. | |

| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_930a6407 | comment |
Rewrite: While the first episode of Nagareboshi Gin showed Gohei and Shiro fighting Akakabuto alone and Shiro falling with Akakabuto by accident, the end of this prequel shows that Gohei had several men and other dogs with him on the hunt, whom all got killed by Akakabuto. Riki shows up and attacks Akakabuto before Shiro can even get to it, and also runs to hand Gohei his rifle when he loses it. It ends with Shiro delibaretely kicking a tree to push himself with the bear off a cliff to save both his master and his son. | |

Made of Iron | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: A couple of the characters manage to hang on, even if they get shot in the eye, clawed, fell off a cliff, bitten, or in one case, all of the above. Forget iron, Akame is most likely made of pure adamantium. He gets scythed in the neck by Kurojaki soon after his introduction and he has all but shrugged it off an hour or so later. That's just the beginning, though: later in the series he gets Shuga's spear-like front leg shoved into his stomach and the battle with White Tiger ends with the latter's (regular) leg paw-deep in Akame's neck. He barely minds these two injuries, by the way. Ben survives quite a lot as well, most prominently being crushed by a boulder and somehow walking away from it with only some bleeding and a brief bout of unconsciousness. It's practically weaponized in the wolf arc when he uses his physical toughness to tank Mukonga's attacks over and over again, which very likely should have turned his insides into jelly but he once again comes away hardly injured from it. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: Though the anime is still pretty violent and doesn't shy away from mature themes, there were still some things from the manga that were left out likely for this purpose, such as: Daisuke's Catapult Nightmare about Gohei shooting Riki in the head so he can eat him rather than starve out in the wilderness. Akakabuto's killing of various human characters is largely off-screen, whereas in the manga it was usually shown in gruesome detail. As mentioned above, Oliver's introductory scene from the manga is skipped over, likely since it involved a couple of male dogs who wanted to rape Cross until Oliver helped her deal with them. Gin simply saves Smith from drowning in the river in the anime rather than saving him from falling down a waterfall, which humorously also cuts out an exchange where Smith begs Gin to let him fall since he thinks that Gin choosing to die with him would be "gay". | |

Rule of Drama | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_a5f0752f | comment |
Rule of Drama: It'd be a pretty short and boring series if every dog they wanted to recruit complied right away. In the last episode, Daisuke tries to approach Gin only to be stopped by the other dogs (even John) snarling at him, resulting in a bittersweet scene of Daisuke having to say goodbye to Gin from a distance, refused the right to touch him. This would make sense with the dogs not allowing an unknown human approaching their leader, even though Takeda Gohei was allowed to pet and hug both Gin and Riki just moments before. In the manga, they explain how it's the first days of his reign that determine what direction his leadership will take, and because of this, they can't let him get close to his old owner within that time frame, at the risk that he'll be swayed to going back. Upon the completion of the wolf arc however, Gin realizes he can finally see Daisuke and eventually reunites with him, arriving just in time to also see Gohei on his death bed. Somehow a huge dog pack running through the mountains causes a rumble so loud it can be heard miles away. | |

Convection, Schmonvection: When one of Gaia's Child Soldiers tries to take Akame with him to the volcano crater, Akame uses his ninja skills to kick his assailant into the lava below and makes his way out unharmed. He was about a meter away from the lava's surface and his fur didn't even get singed. Then again, this is Akame we're talking about. | |

Recycled Animation | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_b0b8970e | comment |
Recycled Animation: It's an 80's anime which doesn't leave it much of a surprise that many shots and animations are re-used at certain times. The worst offender is probably in Episode 18 and 19, when the same shots of dogs being clawed at and stepped on by a bear are used over and over again to the point it becomes comical. Another frequently used shot is an animation of Gin landing after striking an attack on an enemy, which shows up several times over the show. It gets especially noticeable towards the end when it's even used in the final episode, despite that Gin has grown a lot by that point, said animation momentarily reverts him back to his mid-series age again. | |

While several lives were lost, both Gin and Riki lives, and a teary Gohei goes over to hug them both... only for Akakabuto to magically resurrect out of nowhere, striking Gohei down before he can make another shot, and then mortally wounding Riki. Enraged, Gin performs a Battouga that tear's Akakabuto's head off. | |

While their battle does happen, it's in an entirely different setting, Akakabuto remains stationary throughout most of the fight and Gin is fighting alongside hundreds of other dogs. He is the one to deliver the finishing blow though. | |

It Can Think: While the bears are generally depicted as monstrous, instinct-driven juggernauts, as the story goes on it's made clear that they can think on a level comparable to that of the dogs. Akakabuto in particular is savvy enough that, knowing the dogs are out to get him, he makes Ohu into a stronghold fortified by other bears to protect himself and even has another bear serve as a Body Double for himself in order to fool the dogs. | |

Highly-Visible Ninja | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_d635e82c | comment |
Highly-Visible Ninja: While the Igas are pretty spry ninjas, not shying away from underhanded tactics and preferring to stay out of sight, that doesn't change the fact that their pure white coats should make for pretty awful camouflage. As the series goes on,however, Akame starts playing this more and more straight, besting his opponents with his speed and skill in direct combat instead of going with more "practical" methods. | |

| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: Gin is only a few months old in Episode 3 but suddenly looks a lot older from Episode 4 and onwards, giving the impression there was a Time Skip of several months, and Episode 5 even refers to him as being one year old. Still, the story narrates that Episode 3 is set in March while Episode 4 and 5 is in May, meaning there wasn't more than a two month skip, effectively resulting in this trope. | |

Did Not Do the Bloody Research | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_dd554d47 | comment |
The subtitles from anime_fin are generally higher in quality, but even they have their problems. Young dogs are consistently referred to as "cubs", capitalization is all over the place, and words are sometimes compounded when they shouldn't be (eg. "Monsterbear"). The word choices are also occasionally rather unusual, such as when Jaguar exclaims "Bloody hell!" when confronted by Sniper. The subs are also very similar to the official Finnish ones, to the point where it's possible that the Finnish script was run through a translation program and added to the episodes unedited. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking: The pack leader is always the strongest fighter in the group. Averted when Ben goes blind and has to pick a new leader for the pack. According to both him and Akame, anyone in the pack has the strength to be a leader, but Ben wants someone who also has "determination and a strong sense of justice". The choice goes to Gin, despite him probably being (at least one of) the youngest of them. Of course he still turns out to be among the strongest on many occasions. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: Riki recovers from his Easy Amnesia shortly before the final battle, allowing him to teach Gin the ultimate bear-slaying technique: Zetsu Tenrou Battouga.

Redemption Equals Death: Hyena, having been inspired to finally try to prove his worth as a soldier of Ohu, jumps into a ravine to save Ben after Ben attempts to sacrifice himself to kill Sniper. In the anime it unfortunately turns into a Negated Moment of Awesome as Hyena trips while charging down the cliff, screaming as he falls to his death and is never seen again. In the manga however, Hyena succeeds in saving Ben from drowning but is seemingly killed by Sniper. It wasn't until years later when the spinoff story Ginga Densetsu Noah would reveal that Hyena actually survived. | |

Youngest Child Wins: Riki's the runt, yet ends up being the one who had inherited Shiro's genes the most. | |

The Abridged Series | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_fbc67d1d | comment |
The Abridged Series: There was one very short English one (only episode 4 is left), the Finnish one with 4 episodes, and another Finnish one. There was another trend of playing the clips to audio of The Golden Girls. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Chutora, after being informed by Gin that Cross is a female, refuses to fight her anymore. Even when she sinks her teeth into his neck he does little besides standing there and make a bored-sounding threat. In the manga, discovering that he has been fighting a female triggers a Berserk Button, and he proceeds to beat up the rest of the pack by himself. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Manga) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Gin jumps down from a tree to attack Sniper. During the jump, there's enough time for Smith to yell at Gin and for Sniper to give a little speech on the reasoning behind his name. | |
