Bocchi the Rock! has become one of the most beloved anime of recent years, and although it has been off the air for some time now, fans still hold the series in high esteem, especially the different characters present in its story, such as its protagonist, Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh. And now, this girl surprised again, since a talented artist decided to use her to recreate one of the most iconic scenes of the movie Akira, more precisely the skidding with the motorcycle, but thanks to Bocchi herself has a funny outcome.
Bocchi the Rock! and Akira team up with this curious video
Through his Twitter/X, the user @downvote_me surprised fans of Bocchi the Rock! as well as the iconic 80’s movie Akira, in this case using the protagonist of the first anime, Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh, to recreate one of the most famous scenes of all. We are referring to the classic moment in which Shotaro Kaneda, while in a battle between gangs on his motorcycle, performs a skid with this vehicle, leaving one of the most important moments of all time.
But now, to continue with the idea that the protagonist of Bocchi the Rock! is the one performing the scene, the artist decided to give the girl a motorcycle, in this case a pink one, contrasting with the classic red color of the original scene. And although this in itself is a good wink, what left everyone amazed is to see the end of the scene, since Bocchi is not driving the motorcycle, braking in an epic pose, but the girl fell at some point in their journey, ending with an iconic moment, but in this case of Bocchi the Rock!: Bocchi defeated as Yamcha.
Upon seeing this gif, fans of both franchises were very excited, with a lot of messages that show this, even those who only know Bocchi the Rock! were curious to delve a little deeper into Akira, so now they have an excuse to see the movie. In addition, many congratulated the artist himself, who is dedicated to creating this type of 8-bit style animations of well-known franchises, such as the union of these two.
For those who do not know the story of Bocchi the Rock!, it introduces us to the young student Hitori “Bocchi” Gotou, who has many problems to socialize, withdrawing only in her greatest passion: music, and the girl is a prodigy playing the guitar, so much so that she has a channel on social networks where she uploads her presentations, but always without showing her face, so it is a mystery to her followers. She dreams of one day playing in front of thousands of people in a packed stadium, and one day, almost unintentionally, her dream could begin to take shape.
Almost unintentionally she meets Nijika Ijichi, a drummer who asks her to be part of her group, Kessoku Band, to which she would thus begin with the first steps to achieve her goal, being that our young protagonist will be able to demonstrate all her talent with the guitar, but she will also have to overcome her fear of people. But she will not be alone in this journey, as Nijika herself and the other girls in the band will help her, firstly to have friends, and secondly to lose her fear when it comes to presenting herself, in a story that combines music, comedy and moments that touch the heart of the viewer of Bocchi the Rock!
