Thinking about Bokuto’s tendency to hide when he’s upset…it’s all about Bokuto and responsibility!!!

Bokuto, like many other members of the Monster Generation, is defined by their passion setting them apart. It often leads to running alone…

He doesn’t seem too upset when he’s left alone, but honestly we do not get much Bokuto’s narration…he doesn’t cry when Fukurodani loses Nationals but he is clearly upset and blames himself…

However, this blame is part of the responsibility of being the ace. He must be able to strike every ball because his teammates rely on him…to deny that would to deny his role as the ace.

I’m under the assumption that Bokuto knows he is too much for some people to handle, he takes responsibility for the success of the team (and Fukurodani accommodates him perfectly), he knows he doesn’t follow the traditional Japanese adage of “don’t cause trouble for other people” and the way he deals with that is by hiding himself away when he’s really upset.

But timeskip Bokuto has really learned to manage his own sense of responsibility with his skills and redirected his negative spirals into a way to improve! (He was actually really good at doing this for other people, but I guess it’s always harder to apply the same kindness and grace to yourself)

It’s task focus! Bokuto is striving to become his idea of an ace and he will pour his soul into each play to achieve that!! He’s passionate but he’s found his place amongst the monsters and his old team supports him wholeheartedly!!
