Golgo 13

Golgo 13

Do you watch any James Bond movie? I bet all of us have watch one of James Bond movie. So this topic is like the James Bond film with a Anime style.

Meet Duke Togo. The protagonist of the Anime title "Golgo 13" (Gurugu Satin) written and illustrated by Takao Saito, published in Shogakukan's Big Comic magazine since January 1969.

Golgo 13 contains references to Jesus Christ's death. Golgo is an abbreviation for Golgotha, the site of Jesus ' crucifixion. Number 13 is considered a series of bad luck in Christianity, because there were thirteen participants and Jesus ' last meal before his execution. Golgo 13 logo is also a skeleton wearing a Crown of thorns.

Duke Togo a.k.a Golgo 13 is a professional assassin. No one knows about Duke Togo (Golgo 13) whereabouts. And the series is filled with mystery about the man. A man that is called the "professional of professionals" at sniping and with the pistol he can draw it for about 0.04 seconds.

I love the Series. Golgo 13 is badass and don't have any emotion. His face is always on a poker face that all he encounter is afraid of him. He has a great sense of danger. You will be dead if you walk behind this man. This anime series is a must watch. But this is not intended for all viewing audiences because it has explicit content, like sex scenes,drugs,alcohol and bad words.
Like James Bond he is a great womanizer, every woman he met will fantasize this man because of its posture and cunning ability. I cant wait to see other episodes of this anime.

90's? All I remember when I was a kid, I always watch Japanese cartoons. I did not know it was called "Anime" back then short for "Animation" in Japanese. Before that Anime and Manga is popular in Japan back in the year 1917, and in 1960s the anime become more developed. The notable anime is in the work of Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy (Atom"Atomu" ) in Japan. 1980s anime become available around the world.
