#i am so very curious to see this from isagi's pov

The Sae and Isagi parallels are stronger than ever. It's actually insane how strong they have been for the entire arc of Rin's goal in this match. Maybe some day I'll actually talk about them in depth.

This chapter also affirms that I was correct and the break up was really just a cop out until Isagi pulled himself together enough to challenge Rin again-- but I'm really curious to see how Isagi did what he did, and why? This chapter was entirely from Rin's POV so we don't really have much Isagi context. Interesting.

Involving Shidou feels a liiiittle bit redundant considering he did absolutely nothing relevant in this chapter except serve to make Rin's shot harder. The technicalities of the shot itself-- very very cool, even if it's not the most technically challenging goal of this match. Perfectly plausible as well.

Apparently there's every chance Rin stays in the match despite bleeding right now, and also every chance that neither Rin nor Isagi get carded or fouled for this particular collision.

Anyways. Happy Belated Birthday Rin! Nomura gave you a 5 star feast with that artistic goal.
