“
The word "family" evokes the feelings of destiny, pride, love, and sadness — it really moves me. The title of executioner was hereditary. The contents are thrilling and filled to the brim with what reads as a totally bizarre success story.

“
"This man is the ultimate true story of humanity." Are you familiar with Gyro Zeppeli from my Steel Ball Run (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7)? He was, in fact, modeled after the real-life Sanson.
