I feel like it very important to point out when this βXβ is used.
In my opinion, it doesnβt matter if Shoya can look at the person in the face or not, itβs about how much anxiety he feels around them.
The reason Shoya canβt look anyone in the face in the first place is because of anxiety and self-loathing.
The best example is Shoya with his family. He can look at his niece and momβs faces perfectly fine! Thatβs because even if he hates himself, he doesnβt feel major anxiety when talking to them. He cares for them too much to not be able to not look at their face.
We see this slowly become important in the show.
At the started, he originally canβt look Nagatsuka in the face simply because he is a new person and Shoya feels major anxiety around him.
However, once Nagatsuka introduces himself and shows he has no bad intentions, the βXβ fall off his face. He slowly begins to care for this boy.
What about Shouko? She never had an βXβ in her face.
Thatβs because he was so determined to make it up to her that he had to put his anxiety and depression aside. How could he expect himself to even help her or apology if he canβt even look her in the eyes? He cares for her so she doesnβt have an βXβ.
Well, what about Ueno? She had an βXβ on her face.
Thatβs because after her actions, Shoya saw her as a βthreatβ. She tried to corner and bully Shouko so now Shoya had anxiety around her. She brought back so many bad memories, it was hard NOT to feel panicked, especially after her βconfessionβ and βmistakesβ.
This is such an important concept because it truly helps us see from Shoyaβs perspective. This detail allows us to see who he cares about, who he is determined to talk to, who he hates, who he is afraid of.
By limiting the βXβ to just being βnot looking people in the faceβ, you limit the whole meaning of the movie and how much of a complex character Shoya is. He isnβt just depressed, he also still has feelings, emotions, opinions. Even if he doesnβt get βangryβ he still feels hatred and resentment.
Thatβs what makes Shoya so Human. Thatβs what makes the movie special.
Well, I can't believe I actually finished this, oooomg hahaha
Honestly, it was really nice drawing this piece - it was done with a light hand while I was working, studying, and so on. I didn't overthink it too much and just did it with simple pencil coloring.
It's funny how it was drawn partly on my phone, partly on a tablet, and partly on a computer :'D
also the plague ep where Astrid just finds a ship full of rotting corpses like damn alright ig tv y7 meant something different in Viking times I suppose
