Banana Fish Episode 20 Discussion: By His Side

Episode 20 Discussions: By His Side

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs tells us that there are five things that we first need: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization. However, what is the most important need that keeps us alive? Meaning.

These needs will not satisfy us if we lose our meaning. The purpose we dedicate our lives to: A passionate career. A precious friend. A significant other. The basic needs that Maslow believes we need to survive will not help us in any way if we lose our meaning. We lose the interest and the energy to even survive. Losing our meaning already kills us without us even being dead.

In the first scene we see that Ash's eyes are empty. The eyes are the window to the soul. His eyes show us his soul - A soul that has lost its reason. His meaning for living was Eiji because he could give up anything for this meaning. He would protect it and love it with everything he had. He felt alive being with him.

Now, not being able to be with Eiji and being contained in the palace that had only ever felt cold to him burned out the imminent and beautiful green of his eyes. He couldn't eat, he only moved his fingers to work and his face never showed anything but numbness.

But here in the second scene, we see the vibrant green color of his eyes lighten up and relief washes over his features. He could even eat the cheapest canned soup instead of the luxurious food Dino ever offered.

This then reminds me of a doujinshi of One Piece by ROM-13 entitled “The delicious “soba” is being by your side.” The first character in the one-shot says that: “I prefer your soba." The other character who received this message wasn’t sure if the word "soba" meant the "food" he made or "by your side." It meant the latter.

My point? The food only tasted good because he was with Eiji. He felt alive. He found his meaning again. It was the best feeling to be by his side.

The Unvanquished. William Faulkner. New York: Random House, 1938. First edition. Original dust jacket.

“There is a limit to what a child can accept, assimilate; not to what it can believe because a child can believe anything, given time, but to what it can accept, a limit in time, in the very time which nourishes the believing of the incredible.”
