I've seen many characters that "will do anything for their dream" but none of them were Jiro Horikoshi. he's just a boy who wants to make planes. he's the sweetest guy. he's soft-spoken and respectful. he sucks. he will carry an injured stranger across Tokyo to make sure they get home safe. he won't make time for his family. he fell in love at first sight with a girl who's dying and he loves her so dearly. he's very present and supportive, until he has to choose between her and his job, then he chooses his job. often. always. he wants her though, he wants her AND his dream and he doesn't care that he can't have both. her health is getting worse.

he doesn't care for money or glory, and he'll happily share his discoveries with his friends and uplift whoever deserves it. he's in it for the beautiful dream that planes are. and "planes shouldn't be tools of war", but he's a Japanese engineer in the 30s, so if the army pays for his research he'll make planes of war. a war he doesn't support, but doesn't oppose enough to lose sleep over it. such is the price of his dream. his wife will die alone, and his aircrafts will kill thousands. he's a genius and he's so, so selfish.

it's really gross how you can be self aware enough to know what's going on in your head but you can't actually stop it from happening. i need to grab it like a pigeon that got stuck in a house and throw it out the window. be free

“I want to be able to do it all. Even though I know it’s more likely I’ll succeed at none of it. That’s not dumb. If that’s what you want, go after it. People who care about you will understand. And if they don’t, they’re not your people.”
