Madara’s Trauma and Self-Destructive Behavior: Why Does He Avoid Happiness?
Madara might look perfect on the outside, but inside, he’s trapped by deep wounds. And that’s exactly why he’s so unhappy.
Today, I want to dive into the reasons behind his unhappiness and what could potentially save him.
1. An Unrecognized Hero, Madara
Madara's misery started when he was just a kid. He threw everything on the line to save his friend, Kanata. Imagine this: a small boy drenched to the skin, covered in cuts and bruises, trying to fight off adults to save his friend. But what did Kanata say to him after all that effort?
He told Madara, “You didn’t save me for my sake, you did it for your own satisfaction.”
Can you imagine how painful that must’ve been?
Madara’s actions were genuine. He risked his life to save his friend, but his pure intentions were completely dismissed. If he was really just looking for self-satisfaction, why would he go through all that pain and suffering? Why would he put himself in such danger? You don't do that just to feel good about yourself. That’s not "satisfaction"—that’s a conviction to save a friend.
Madara was driven by a true sense of heroism, doing whatever it took to save a life. It’s clear to anyone that his intentions were genuine.
But Kanata’s words hurt him deeply.
Since then, Madara started doubting his beliefs and his sincerity.
2. Kanata’s Gaslighting: Shattering Madara’s Self-Esteem
Why did Kanata's words affect Madara so much? Because it was pure gaslighting. Gaslighting is when someone twists your thoughts and emotions, making you question yourself. Kanata didn’t just say, “You saved me”—he twisted it, making it seem like Madara was selfish.
This kind of gaslighting broke Madara’s self-confidence. He began questioning his motives: “Did I really save him for him? Or was it for me?” And from that moment on, he started second-guessing everything he did, wondering if his actions were ever really pure.
Even when Madara helps others with pure intentions, he can’t help but feel guilty. He starts confessing to people, saying he’s doing it for his own benefit, not because he wants to.
But come on, everyone expects a little something in return for their kindness. It’s human nature! Of course, you’d feel hurt if a friend didn’t even say “thanks” after you’ve helped them. But despite this normal human reaction, Madara constantly beats himself up, apologizing and explaining himself, trying to ease the guilt that shouldn’t even exist.
Kanata has been planting these seeds of doubt in Madara ever since they were kids. He’d say things like, “You’re not doing this for me, you’re doing it for yourself,” until Madara couldn’t even trust his own good intentions. Thanks to Kanata’s continuous gaslighting, Madara lost his confidence and belief in his own goodness.
3. Madara’s Heroism Was Always Genuine
So, why do I think Madara’s actions were always genuine? Well, one thing’s clear: Madara risked everything to save Kanata. He jumped in, knowing full well how dangerous it would be. His family didn’t even want him to get involved with someone like Kanata, but he still did it.
There was no one there to give Madara any kind of recognition or praise for saving his friend. There was no crowd to clap for him, no one to pat him on the back. If all he wanted was some feel-good moment, he wouldn’t have acted so desperately.
Madara’s family had a rigid structure, and yet he would sneak out at night to plant the flowers Kanata wanted to see. He went out of his way to help, hiding materials on his body just to get them past security. He was always going the extra mile for Kanata.
Madara’s heroism was pure. When his friend was in danger, he didn’t hesitate to jump in. At that moment, saving Kanata was all that mattered. Kanata’s comment about Madara acting out of selfishness only distorts what was clearly a selfless act.
And even now, after all the pain he’s been through, Madara keeps helping others. He takes on the hardest, most thankless jobs, sacrificing his own well-being to help those around him. You can’t do that if you’re not driven by real conviction. There’s no way someone who’s just looking for some superficial satisfaction would keep doing what Madara does.
Even his nickname, “Mama,” comes from him taking on the role no one else wanted. He said it himself:
"When we were kids, the boys didn’t want to play ‘Mama,’ so I stepped up and took on the role. That’s why they call me Mama."
4. Perfect on the Outside, But Still Deeply Wounded Inside
Madara is practically perfect. He can play the piano, the violin, he’s great at billiards, he can cook—there’s literally nothing he can’t do. He has it all: looks, talent, charisma. So why is he still so miserable?
Because he’s still trapped by his internal wounds. He does everything for others, but he can’t bring himself to believe he’s worthy of happiness.
He keeps thinking, “I’m not worth anything,” and “I don’t deserve happiness.”
When Madara was younger, he wanted to go see cherry blossoms with his family. For him, that represented an ideal, loving family. He longed for that kind of warmth and closeness. And in a way, the character Kohaku, with his pink hair like cherry blossoms, became a symbol of that dream.
At first, Madara didn’t want anything to do with Kohaku, but over time, he found peace in being with him. Kohaku probably felt the same way. But then, in true Madara fashion, he chose to walk away from that peace by pushing for Double Face to break up.
It’s just another example of how Madara’s self-destructive tendencies lead him to distance himself from happiness. And it all comes back to the fact that he can’t love himself. The root of it all is Kanata’s gaslighting, which has caused Madara to constantly question his worth. No matter how perfect he seems on the outside, internally, he’s still full of doubt and pain.
Even as a solo artist, he’s taken on socially important, but secretive or unwanted, roles. He’s doing the work no one else wants to do, and yet, no one praises or even acknowledges him for it. The lack of recognition eats away at his self-esteem, making him feel more and more worthless.
5. Madara’s Only Salvation: Anzu
Madara carries all this pain, and the only person who can save him now is Anzu. Recently, Madara has found a little bit of peace working alongside her. Even though he’s an idol, he’ll serve tea to guests or clean the office just to help her out. At first glance, it might seem like he’s sacrificing himself again, but I see it as him finding solace in being close to her. I think he’s slowly starting to heal through his relationship with Anzu.
If Anzu could tell Madara one day, “It wasn’t your fault,” or, “Kanata’s words were wrong, and I don’t agree with him,” then I think Madara could finally find the closure he needs. Kanata’s wounds run deep, so Madara needs someone who truly understands him to help him heal. And that person is Anzu.
Madara needs to learn how to love himself again. If Anzu could tell him, “You are worthy of love,” and help him heal his wounds, he would finally stop doubting himself and be able to find true happiness.
6. Why Madara Left Ryuseitai
Madara used to be the Purple Ranger of Ryuseitai. So why did he leave?
Madara is someone who truly wants to act on his idea of justice. But the hero image of Ryuseitai probably felt a little off to him.
Madara believes that a hero isn’t just a title or an image—it’s about taking action to protect and help others.
That’s why Ryuseitai’s hero concept might not have been a perfect fit for him. Ryuseitai is a cool, hero-themed group, and each member brings their own flavor to the hero image. But Madara likely felt that they were heading in a different direction from what he believed true justice should be.
For him, it wasn’t about wearing a cool hero costume or being seen as a hero by others. He wanted to do the difficult, thankless work that no one else was willing to take on. So, Madara left behind the glamorous “hero” image and chose to follow his own path of justice. His move to solo work was just another reflection of his commitment to his beliefs.
7. The Irony of Kanata Staying in Ryuseitai
The irony is that Kanata stayed in Ryuseitai. Outwardly, he’s maintaining the hero concept, but he hasn’t shown the same self-sacrificial actions that Madara has.
Madara, on the other hand, is willing to secretly deal with bad guys, or take on the risk of losing his idol career just to protect a small kid who nobody else cares about. It’s these hidden, difficult tasks that make Madara a true hero—not the flashy image of a hero, but someone who does the dirty work behind the scenes. Yet, despite his sacrifices, Kanata still misunderstands and criticizes him.
Kanata can’t even acknowledge Madara’s dedication. Maybe it’s because Kanata was treated like a god by his family, so he just assumed it was natural for Madara to do all these things for him. Whatever the reason, it’s incredibly frustrating to see Kanata continue to belittle Madara while Madara keeps suffering for the sake of others.
No wonder Madara’s little sister dislikes Kanata. Seeing Madara constantly put himself through hell, taking on all the pain and never protecting his own well-being, would frustrate anyone. His sister just wants Madara to stand up for himself, but he keeps hurting himself for the sake of others.
Even now, as Madara tries to live a righteous life, Kanata continues to look down on him, gaslighting him and twisting his good intentions. It’s hard to like Kanata when you look at how much damage he’s done to Madara.
