he's going to get you
Yamato: "I'm mean. I'm so incredibly mean and scary. I will not be kind or nice to you bc i am mean >:["
Also Yamato: *makes you porridge to help you recover* *exhausts himself helping kakashi train his student* *frets over gai* *frets over naruto* *helps rebuild konoha* *doesn't want to hurt Sasuke* *wants Sasuke to be safe and home and loved too* *is generally just a polite respectful guy who wants to be helpful and kind*
My initial thoughts
Kakashi doesn't know what PTSD is, even tho he has it probably the most prominently out of the characters, bc when Naurto had his anxiety attack, something kakashi has also gone through, his reaction was still just to tell Naruto to calm down. He's doing his best but also cant think about how his childhood affected him without getting stuck in an OCD ritual which really prevents actual self reflection for him. But he is coping with it nonetheless (thank u icha icha). (But by boruto he's figured it out i think)
Yamato seems to have a better grasp on how to help someone come down from an anxiety attack. He also got to see kakashi go through a lot of his PTSD meltdowns and has seen it in himself and other ANBU agents. So, he has likely put two and two together. Not to the extent of having words for it but enough to at least recognize a pattern and recognize that it's bad. As far a coping i think he fucking meditates and shit so he's got his ways.
Gai has also put two and two together but over exercising is a form of self harm, gai, that's not coping <3
Yall accuse Kakashi of having a favorite student but it's Tenzō who really played favorites.
Sakura did her weird false love confession to Naruto and Tenzō looked ready to throw hands
Tenzō let Sasuke stab him bc Naruto didn't want any of them to hurt Sasuke.
Tenzō loves all the kids but he'd throw all of konoha under the bus for his boy Naruto. (Which he did when he and Kakashi committed treason for Naruto)
It's just Yamato's whole shtick is building his own identity. Finding autonomy. And his character arc is that he finds it! He found where he wanted to be! Who he wanted to be! All that was left for him was finding the courage and wherewithal to demand it! To request being released from ANBU formally! To stay as team 7's captain! HE WANTS TO BE YAMATO but he's pushed back to square one. He loses all autonomy. He's used as a weapon against people he cares about AGAIN. He's nameless, mindless, and forgotten.
And that's what he's left with. He doesn't get to heal from that. Everything was right there within his grasp and he lost it all.
