Uh oh

So it has come to my attention that we'll be getting a manga adaptation of Best Games Fuji Syuusuke vs Kirihara Akaya and to be quite honest I'm shocked.

First of all, when it was announced all the way in..... Whenever it was announced, it was heavily discussed about how they'd go about it. Would they remake the already 3 episode almost match from 2004 or would they follow the manga where at an earlier stage Fuji had showed his maturity?

Let's track back on that. (Solely my opinion so disagreement is understandable given I STILL have yet to even finish the original manga 😭😭)

Anyway....

There were many things that the anime version did not show. For one, they didn't use Echizen but rather Tachibana; which I don't get why but hey, they wanted to change things. Understandable. However, the development Fuji goes through right before going through this match is detrimental to the series itself. I had mentioned this before and will mention it again, this growth that is seen here is only seen when Fuji faces Tezuka in the intra ranking tournament event which is almost 60 episodes later and no where to be seen in the manga.... Yet I think. And it's really important because throughout most of the series you don't see Fuji with the drive that we see here. Even in the anime version, you hardly get to see what goes through his mind. There's one thing that drives him in the anime and it was Tachibana's injury and assault by his opponent which is also important to note that he has an adjective. A motive,a reason to fight with all he's got.

Just the fact that he knew without confirmation prior just Ugggggghhh. Honestly, y'all. Get yourself a boi like Fuji xD

Fuji could've used this fact as a motive but he didn't. It wasn't his reason to defeat Akaya it was a objective he had in mind and that was getting Seigaku past this opponent. Maybe his objective became more pronounced once he realized that it was him that injured Echizen but it's not his main focus and that's very important to his character. In the anime we're mostly forced to believe he needs one to become serious but that's not really case. And although he became somewhat serious with Jirou that wasn't because he wanted to, I feel like he just wanted to not be taken lightly by Echizen which is what I got from that match. BUT EVEN THEN. He still asked to play against the guy that beat his brother so it's still a motive. Haha...I actually forgot he had done that haha haha haha 😐

In the manga, before he knew of Echizen's injury (correct me if I'm wrong because it's been a while since I read it) he had already wanted to become stronger on his own. It was seen that he was with Tachibana solely to practice. Another aspect we NEVER see in the anime. This showed us that he wanted to become stronger on his own, he wanted to be there for his team and above all else, grow.

There's also weakness.

This disadvantage isn't solely a manga thing but I would like to add that I feel this was more impactful than his knee in the anime. Idk about you guys but imagine being in that situation? Fucking terrifying.

I feel like this disadvantage showed another side of him rather than the side we see in the anime. It's aggressive, it's strategic and it's well played. In the anime yes, he is all that but it takes a while. To see THIS within a few chapters and before hitting Nationals is just whoa. I feel like the readers gain a sort of respect when coming to this particular part because well aside from it ever being possible, or who knows, it's pretty valiant that he still keeps pushing.

Then there's just.

This.

Like. Wtf. Why is he remembering Tezuka? Obviously because they're toge- *ahem* 🤣

No but for real. The fact that in the middle of perhaps the toughest match he's had, he's remembering this moment. This moment where his best friend gives him that push. The fact that he thought they were similar only to find out differently I feel was another icing on the cake. The fact that he remembers Tezuka's grueling match with Atobe is what drove him to push himself, evolve and it's beautiful the change we get. Tezuka plays an important part to Fuji's growth here and I think most of it is due to his absence but it's just interesting to note that this is something he thinks back to. The fact that people have overcome his triple counters is what pushes him to really think on what he could do to change and it's something I wish we would've definitely seen in the anime.

I'm sure he's like 50 people in one now in shinteni and I wouldn't be surprised but his early evolution is just wonderful.

AND WE GET TO SEE IT IN ACTION AND I'M GONNA CRY AND I'M GONNA SCREAM AND LOSE EVERY SHIT KNOWN TO MANKIND. WHAT WAS IT THAT I SAID? I'D HATE AKAYA ALL OVER AGAIN? YEAH SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT BECAUSE HOLY FUCK GUYS. IT'S HAPPENING.

Fuji being all cute is what I live for.
