Re: GDW General Questions Thread
A question:
Is it stated anywhere that Ram is a Collie? Or is it just another assumption?

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
So did somewhere during GNG, the series was taken out of Shonen Jump and into this new magazine? Or did GNG stay, but never reached the top again and then once GDW started, Yoshi went from Shonen Jump to the new magazine publishers?

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
GNG was published in Shounen Jump for its whole run from 1983 to 1987, and later stories that are directly tied to it (like the GNG Gaidens) were also published in magazines owned by Shueisha. As for GDW, according to Yoshi's interview included in some editions of Byakuren no Fang, years after GNG had ended and he'd drawn a lot of non-dog manga, he finally felt he'd "done all the things he'd wanted to depict in his works", so he decided to return to drawing dog manga. He then tried pitching the idea of a GNG sequel to a few publishers before Nichibun Comics agreed to publish it (he says that, around that time, sequels tended to do badly, which would explain why publishers would be wary of the idea) and thus GDW began running in Weekly Goraku in 1999.
He doesn't name any of the companies that rejected his pitch, but personally I wouldn't be surprised if Shueisha was one of the companies he approached during that time.

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
Here's a question about a picture in the manga - does anyone know in which part, chapter or page Kyoshiro winks and smiles in? I've been going through the scans I have of the manga but I can't seem to find it. There's soooo much book to go through!
I did a Ginga dog horoscope and according my calculations, I am most like Gin! Am I lucky?
I took one of those 'Which character are you?' tests, one which happened to be Ginga related and it said I would
be most like Tesshin! I feel quite honoured!

The first that I found was this. It's from GDW volume 35, chapter 8, page 198.Gingaddict wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 10:28 pm Here's a question about a picture in the manga - does anyone know in which part, chapter or page Kyoshiro winks and smiles in?

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
Do we have any kanji or kana for the Shikoku siblings in the anime? Hanji, Heita, Ryou, and Ryuu?

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
As far as I know, no known kanji exists for their names. The credits just lump them together as "Shikoku dogs" (四国犬) and Japanese Wikipedia just writes their names in hiragana (りょう, りゅう, はんじ、へいた).
I assume the only way to find out if the animation team ever even gave their names kanji is if some day a studio reference sheet for the four was found.

Studio sheets of them would be nice to find
Now, Harunosuke from ep 25 only...
Makes me wonder, anyone have the Japanese DVDs? Do they have Japanese subs on as well?

Teru's Father's name is never known. Even if he did have a name, it was never revealed.

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
Is Nobushige Taichi's father?
I just randomly looked up Nobushige on the Ginga wiki, and the article vaguely mentions that Taichi tried to "save his father" but doesn't really indicate that they're related. But Nobushige's facial markings do look similar to Taichi's so I just had to ask

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
Does anyone know why Weed, Joe and Co slept alongside the Hybrid bear? The part is not translated so I haven't figured it out or was something else happening as it has not happened again with a bear before

As it happens, this exact question was asked (and answered) a few pages backGingaddict wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 5:45 pm Does anyone know why Weed, Joe and Co slept alongside the Hybrid bear?

tldr; They couldn't do anything about the bear as long as it was asleep, so they figured they might as well sleep and recover their strength themselves as well.

As for GNG, the official English translation is by Manga Planet. So unfortunately you won't find it in English on Silver Fang Reader. But GDW is definitely there in English.

Re: GDW General Questions Thread
The entire sequence was quite different from how it was in the anime.
