is everyone and their mama going to bankoku-gai 😭😭😭😭😭 are they just planning to show up in their furin apparel thus draw attention to themselves->suo hears about it or are they going to be more discreet. actually no way these kids have not once shown any skill in the art of subtlety. suo your circus is coming to get you. your monkeys are on the way

i think i've said something like this in the past, about how nii sensei's storytelling choices themselves contribute to the overall story being told to us.

for example, the series' constant emphasis on the fact that fighting = communication, sets up the suo-nirei fight to be the most honest suo has ever been except we all know it was actually his biggest lie. so on and so forth.

i'm now thinking about how, multiple months into suo's character arc, we are yet to see much of his pov. the little we've gotten of his pov has also been entirely removed from his internal mindscape and has been moreso about introducing bkk-gai to us as a setting.

and now, there is a growing focus on sakura's pov of the situation which, for the record, has always been a bit of a thing in side character arcs—he is the series mc after all—but what's different this time is the nature of sakura's pov.

whether it be togame, anzai, kiryu, momiji, or any other character whose arc sakura has been involved in, we've always gotten his pov as an agent of change. he is invested and involved while still being removed in a sense, allowing for his pov to work independently, in a way that introduces spark and movement into a story that might otherwise feel stuck and tragic.

this time though, we get sakura's pov as the person most directly and significantly impacted by suo's arc. if anything, it's closer to the tone that his pov tends to take when we're exploring arcs that are integral to His character development instead of somebody else's—and that clearly is the intention like, for better or for worse, sakura Is meant to learn something and grow from it here. this is a main story arc as much as it is a side character arc.

which means a guy like suo, who probably never intended to be anything but ephemeral, is inseparable from sakura's own arc. where he is found stuck and tragic, so is sakura. his life cannot unfold without rippling out into sakura's and the storytelling structure is proof of it.

anyway.

group suicide when?

raise your hand if you used to refer to wind breaker as your comfort series and now every time you see a new fan still in the early honeymoon period saying similar you just 😬🤐

How the new chapter went

[caustic--soda]

I find it funny how it's either "Suo and Nirei grew close because of Sakura" or "Sakura and Suo grew close because of Nirei". Like aside both statements being peak 'i'm too hyperfixated on my fave to look at the manga without bias', they are just flat out incorrect if you understand how friendship works

[killapunk]

i feel like we've completely killed the ability to just gently tell someone when they're wrong or that their opinions don't pass the vibe check. we have to accommodate every single type of person and all their dogshit opinions OR we have to drive them off the internet, no in between

HOLY GENUINE PEAK

People don't give sugishita enough credit as a motivational speaker.

Most people: "I believe in you 🫶"

Sugishita: "Quit acting like a bagworm."

Sakura: *Immediately locks in*

Incredible coaching technique, honestly.

[choberr]

This chapter basically confirmed that Suo commuted between Bankoku-gai and Makochi, towns that are two hours apart, every day for years and STILL somehow found the time to:

- walk with Nirei to school in the mornings

- walk Nirei home in the evenings

- do special training with Nirei which he had NO OBLIGATION TO

- hang out with Sakura and co if he's "free" (EVEN ON SUMMER BREAK)

- participate in the mf Noroshi war which started at 0:00 sharp

ALL WHILE PLAYING OFFICER/MEDIATOR IN HIS HOMETOWN AND DOING ALL THIS OTHER BS??? "We aren't anything" FUCK OFF

[ruinsofphaidie]

why is my dashboard suddenly devoid of people screaming about wind breaker theories and suo. where did you all go. the town square is empty. the villagers are gone. come back to me. return to your posts immediately. (pun intended)

Normalize having a comfort show that has nothing comforting about it. Mine is vinland saga:P

[sidequestlena]

Bruh Suo, why you lying????

Two reasons:

They're trying to pick a fight with their partner to get validation. They just want to hear: "You're wrong, you're important to me!"

They're trying to downplay the relationship so the breakup is less painful to everyone involved. Reminds me of the scene in Airbud when the kid yells "Go on, get out of here. I don't love you anymore!" while releasing his dog. LMAO

Either way, I'm into it. Salt makes sugar taste sweeter~
