I wanna talk about Anzai

I love him and i think he's an amazing and Extremely Overlooked character so im gonna ramble. sorry.

like i get it, he kind of has Chronic Background Character Syndrome (fortunately for him i have a Thing for characters like that) and he's not all that strong of a fighter. But he played a HUGE role in helping sakura grow and open up.

He was one of the first bofurin students to be casually friendly with Sakura and make him feel welcome after the fight with Sugishita

And he's the one who gets Sakura really thinking about what he can do for his class, and how to put Umemiya's words into action. Up till chapter 38 Sakura would just swing at whatever problem was directly in front of him, but Anzai changes that

It's clear that Sakura and Anzai have some traits in common too. Anzai tries to deal with Keel on his own, without asking for help or bothering anyone else. Sakura clearly respects that and sees something of himself in Anzai. He doesn't commit to getting involved in his business until he sees that Tsuchiya and Nagato are also hurt and that Anzai definitely Can't deal with it on his own

In the fight against Keel, even though he's grandstanding and being way too self-focused, Sakura still prioritizes clearing the way for Anzai to get to Nagato before anything else. It doesn't work out but i think this was the first step Sakura took in learning to work as a team and protecting someone's back (think later when he and Sugishita team up on the bridge)

and anzai is, of course, the first one to go down in that fight too. Nirei is the more important one but Anzai going down is the start of Sakura freezing up and losing control

And then the kicker for me is Anzai's forgiveness. First of Nagato, and then of Sakura. He prioritizes open communication and lets both of them get out all of their fears and insecurities and vent about how unforgivable and unlovable they think they are. And then he calls them dumbasses and reminds them that there's nothing that needs forgiving. That conversation with Nagato is one of the reasons Sakura even works up the courage to admit his fears to everyone.

And of course in That Scene(TM) in chapter 60 everyone pitches in on the conversation. But out of everyone in the class, all the people that Sakura had been building friendships with this whole time. The one who says it directly to his face is Anzai. Someone he identified with, someone he wanted to help, someone he failed to protect, someone he was terrified of being rejected by. Anzai is the one who grabs him by the neck and says Who gives a shit? We care about you, and nothing you do or say will change that.

and THAT LINE is what gets us this

anyway in conclusion i need more love and appreciation for anzai, he's such a good and kind person and the story uses him SO well. Solidly a top-5 character to me, maybe even a top 3

arikanu week - day 7: free day

here you go, @arikanuweek!

************************************************************************

Red.

He sees red.

And he doesn't get it.

The fight got over ages ago. They've left, he's left, but all he sees is red. The red of that hair, the red of the ball of that long earring, the red of those cold, unnerving, eerie eyes.

And he's sick of it.

Humiliation, the same kind that he felt during the fight - can it even be called a fight? - fills him. He sees him, standing with his back straight, arm in front of him in some martial arts form, confident, patient, strong. Confident that he'll win, patiently waiting for him to strike and inevitably embarrass himself. He feels the blocks, the shoves, the twists. He feels the wood, the taunts, the yells. He sees Tomiyama dozing, Togame's disappointment. He sees him again, going on and on about that adulthood nonsense, the stairs and imagination and whatnot. He wants it to stop, he wants him to stop, he wants the theater to stop, he wants Arima -

Then, the red is replaced with warm, dark brown.

Like a demon summoned by thought, Arima hunches, hands on his knees, looking at him with so much worry and concern in his eyes. There's no bruises on him, but he knows that his fight with that long mop from Furin has left its mark on him. But there's no sign of it in his eyes, just warmth and concern. For him. Because now they're not Shishitoren's beasts, Shishitoren's scum. Now, they're just Arima and Kanuma.

Kanuma smiles, takes the proffered hand. He's never going to forget today's fight and he doesn't know if he'll ever get over it. But with Arima here, by his side, it sure does feel a whole lot easier.

Kanuma couldn’t help but feel he had messed everything up. How could he have been so stupid? How could he have thought his friend liked him that way? Why did he ever get his hopes up like that? Why did he assume they were more than friends already? Why did he confront Arima like that?!

Kanuma goes off on Arima when the other flirts with a girl, and they get into an argument. A confession slips out, and Kanuma flees the scene.

And Arima....Arima's an idiot.
