[It's for the better that Reiner doesn't bring his comrades up. Hijikata would, in all likelihood, only get angry again. Much as he intellectually comprehends that the other titan shifters from Reiner's homeland were just as indoctrinated as he was, it's still hard for him to suppress the kneejerk upset whenever he learns more about the struggles of the people of "Trost", of just how many enemies they had standing against them.

Luckily, both of them get to stay focused on their pokémon, this time around. It looks like Hijikata overestimated how heavy Panzer will get because Gintama weights are a joke, but she'll be huge alright! He follows Reiner's gaze to his Tepig. The little creature really has been giving him a lot of joy, and he's even held his own in some dangerous situations already.]

He won't grow as big as Panzer, sadly. He'll end up walking on two legs, but even so he won't get as tall as me.

[He ponders name options for a moment... but frankly, with his usual creativity it's a quick decision.]

I'll call him Hinobuta.

[Leave it to the man who named his winged white bull mount 'Shirobeko' (which means exactly that) to name his Tepig 'fire pig'!]
