Shortly after announcing its second season, the anime Bocchi The Rock! has once again become a trend in social networks, not only by its community who have rejoiced for this news, but also by several artists who took advantage of the situation to illustrate the characters. But the one that has drawn the most attention is a recognized Twitter/X user who not only focused on the beloved Hitori Gotoh, but recreated her in a curious situation in which she was apparently “getting to know more” with the help of a Pokémon.
Hitori Gotoh stars in a curious illustration by Bocchi The Rock!
Through his Twitter/X account, the user @khyleri shared his most recent work that in this case stands out for different reasons, the main one being that the protagonist is none other than the beloved Hitori Gotoh from the anime Bocchi The Rock, but in this case living a very curious moment with several details. And the fact is that this artist is famous in social networks, since he not only creates illustrations of famous characters from the world of anime or video games, but he hides in these various elements in his works that usually have dark meanings and this was no exception.
First of all, and what can be seen at first glance is that the protagonist of Bocchi The Rock! was in a very “personal” moment, this can be seen by several details such as his face of fear / shame, the skirt that is not buttoned and especially his fingers, with a rare liquid in these. But if you go further, the details would confirm even more suspicions, as the same type of liquid can be seen on Bocchi’s guitar, as well as the title that is playing the Pokémon Machoke very “touched” at the bottom on a Nintendo 3DS.
This would confirm that Bocchi feels a high esteem for Pokémon, so much so that it is his main source when he engages in such actions. On the other hand, and beyond what is presented as the main topic of the protagonist of Bocchi The Rock! and his love for Pokémon is that in the other console that is seen at the bottom, the artist placed an image that could go unnoticed. But in reality this corresponds to a meme within the Pokémon community in which Hex Maniac, a well-known female character from the game, is selling milk but that would be of “own production”.
As expected, thousands of fans on the networks took the opportunity to comment on the original publication, most of them highlighting each of the details mentioned above, giving clear evidence that what the artist wanted to represent was Bocchi’s love for Pokémon. In addition, there were several who mentioned how Machoke was the favorite Pokémon of the protagonist of Bocchi The Rock!, a being that stands out for its well-shaped physique and is usually a fan favorite like the girl.
