Hello there Maki Yousuke fans.

[tracingdreams]

Maki has an axe to grind with Seidou. But I got to thinking about this.

Maki Yousuke, from Sensen, has a grievance against Seidou. They never invited him to play there, and he never thought to apply. So he ended up at Sensen, nursing a grudge.

But realistically...the whole premise of Daiya is that Seidou didn’t have an ace candidate prior to Eijun and Furuya’s intake. Tanba was a bit up and down, Nori was building his confidence, and we have no idea who might have been there prior to that.

Maki is in the same year as Miyuki, Nori and so on. A whole year before Furuya or Eijun became part of the equation.

I find it surprising that Seidou would not have been interested in a tall pitcher with an effective curveball, given their pitching problems. 

(Although Rei scouts a yankee who breaks people’s noses and a sassy brat with a smart tongue. She also scouts Eijun after he slapped the opposition silly. Maybe she only scouts problem kids, and Maki is too well behaved).

I also find it hard to understand why Maki didn’t apply there, like Furuya did, if he really wanted to go. Maybe that suggests something else about his family’s circumstances and school fees, which would be understandable. But, since he basically admits to himself he could have chosen to go there and prove himself, that doesn’t seem to be the reason. 

So basically Seidou didn’t notice a player that might have helped them get further more quickly, and that player didn’t go for what he wanted although Seidou probably needed him.

Sigh.

I think this is the reason I have trouble empathising with Maki or his team. The main reason he isn’t Seidou’s ace in this semi-final game is because of his own decisions. 

And just because he recognises that at the end, it does him and his team no favours.

@sortinghatchats: Bokurano Edition

It’s no secret that I’m more or less obsessed with Bokurano, and that I absolutely love @sortinghatchats​‘s work. So, finally, I’m going to combine the two and sort the fifteen pilots! I’m using @wisteria-lodge​‘s animal terminology and including both burnt and exploded houses. There’s probably mistakes in here since I’m a very new sorter, so don’t expect the work of a veteran here. I’m just doing this because I love sorting and Bokurano’s a good show. Also, there will be SPOILERS under the readmore, as well as the usual content warnings for Bokurano: a lot of child death, plus brief mentions of rape, suicide, and familial abuse. (Let me know if I missed something!)

It’s no secret that Takashi Waku is a Lion secondary. He’s a shounen protagonist. ‘Nuff said. His primary is a little harder to pin down - for a while I was torn between Badger and Lion, but I’m going to go with Badger. While there’s some traces of a glory hound Lion’s “this is gonna be awesome” attitude in him, on the whole he’s driven by the Badger thought process of “the world needs a savior, and, well, I’m the one with the fucknormous robot”.

Masaru Kodama is as exploded Bird primary as they come. He’s organized his life around a strict and unhealthy set of principles, survival of the fittest taken to an extreme, and his wealthy, sheltered upbringing gave him the echo chamber characteristic of exploded Birds. Within the confines of that system, though, he’s a Snake secondary who lives by his whims. Stealing Kokopelli’s glasses, being an ass to the neighborhood cats, going on a rampage through the city - he does things because he feels like it.

Isao Kako’s houses are a perfect storm of tragedy. He’s a very young Bird primary, still working out his system and looking for guidance anywhere he can find it. Even if it’s obviously bad guidance like Dung Beetle’s suggestion to go rape Chizu, he’ll listen to it. The boy’s about to die. His world’s been turned upside down. He’ll grab on to any anchor he can find at this point. His exploded Lion secondary turns those ill-advised ideas into equally ill-advised actions that he throws himself into utterly - Chizu had to kill him to get him off her back.

Speaking of Chizuru Honda, I’m usually not the best at spotting models, but she’s definitely got one. Specifically, she’s a Snake primary modeling exploded Lion. She’s obsessed with a cause - namely, kicking Hatagai’s ass - but not for its own sake. She rages against him because he hurt someone she loves. While she thought their affair was between the two of them, she was willing to forgive him, but when he dragged her sister into it, that was the last straw. Her secondary’s hard to pin down, but I’m guessing a burnt Bird. As a young child, she seemed to appreciate knowledge, but at the time of the series, Hatagai’s betrayal has ripped out her moorings, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make him regret his actions.

Daichi Yamura is also a Snake primary, though if he has a model I can’t see it. More than anything else, Daichi loves his family, and would do anything for them. His secondary seems to be Badger. He’s hardworking, diligent, and finds fulfillment as a provider for his siblings.

Mako Nakarai was easy to pin down as a Badger secondary. She’s studious and hardworking, and loves to work with her hands - all classic Badger secondary traits. Her primary was harder for me to figure out, but Snake seems likely, since deep down she just wants to be loved.

Kunihiko Moji is yet another Snake Badger. He’s devoted to his childhood friends, who are like family to the orphan boy, and he’s very big on the principle that friends should be able to rely on each other. Add his dutiful and reliable personality and he’s a textbook example of his sort.

Maki Ano is definitely a loyalist primary, and I’m leaning towards Badger. She loves her family, she loves her friends, she loves pretty much everyone except Jun (whose treatment of Kana infuriates her) and Dung Beetle (who’s… Dung Beetle). What really solidified her as a Badger primary for me, though, was the very end of her battle, where she opens up the enemy robot’s cockpit, acknowledging the humanity of the people she’s about to kill. Secondary-wise, she has the boisterous determination of a Lion.

Yousuke Kirie was hard for me to figure out, but in hindsight, it seems pretty obvious that he’s a Snake primary who’s just starting to explode. His family is everything to him, and while he’s not outright hostile to others, even friendly (if a bit reserved) towards the other pilots, he’s more than willing to sit idly by while the universe is destroyed if he doesn’t like the way it’s been treating his mom. I ended up having to guess his secondary, but I’ve got a hunch he’s a Bird.

Aiko Tokosumi had me stumped for quite a while, but I think she’s a double Lion. The scene where she lashes out at Yoko for her betrayal gives me Lion primary vibes. Her secondary’s a little easier to pin down as Lion - she exhorts and inspires, drawing on an indomitable Leonine spirit to lift up the ones she loves. She sings, she encourages her friends, she talks her mom out of a mental breakdown. If Lion is the shounen protagonist secondary, Anko’s got the motivational speeches down pat.

Takami Komoda is a pretty clear Bird secondary - proper, patient, doing things the “right” way. I struggled with her primary for a while, but given the sheer amount of strength she draws from her father’s love, I’m thinking Snake. (Bokurano seems to have a lot of Snake primaries whose circles are their families!)

I didn’t get a very good handle on Kanji Yoshikawa, but the sheer amount of scheming he does points me towards a Bird secondary. I’m even less sure of his primary, but that gives me Bird vibes too.

Yoko Machi is so badly burnt I struggled with her sorting for a while, but I eventually pinned down her primary as burnt Lion. Yoko’s a seeker of justice forced into a fundamentally unjust role, and when she comes clean, her Leonine code of honor shines through. (Killing your own brother in retribution for his transgressions would normally point me towards exploded Lion, but let’s be real here, Dung Beetle deserved it.) Her secondary, however, is burnt beyond recognition. With how much she’s suffered, and how little time passed between her redemption and her death, there’s not really much to go on here.

Jun Ushiro-Tanaka. He’s probably my favorite pilot, but more to the point, he’s a textbook burnt Snake primary, an asshole because he doesn’t know what else to be. In the later part of the show he gradually unburns, first taking a few tentative steps outside his little circle of one when he visits Kirie, and ultimately letting his family and Yoko into his heart shortly before his death, until he finally gives his life without hesitation for the sister he once abused. I had trouble with his secondary at first, but I’ve pinned it down as a burnt Badger. For most of the show he’s pretty listless, but when he’s healing in the last days of his life, the thing he does that stuck out to me most was helping Kana and her friends build a treehouse. Helping others. Working with his hands. Badger things.

I think the onion ninjas are lurking around here somewhere.

Finally, Kana Ushiro is, like her brother, an unhealthy loyalist primary, but she’s the opposite unhealthy loyalist primary to him, an exploded Badger. Could the girl with the martyr complex the size of about three Zearths be anything else? She also shares Jun’s Badger secondary, but hers is healthier. She’s comfortable in the domestic role she’s taken on, patiently caring for her brother no matter how strained their relationship may be, and in the epilogue she tenderly cradles a wounded bird as she comforts the Yamura siblings, showing them that their lost brother was a true hero.

Gekidan Altair: Decision of the New Members!

Here comes Gekidan Altair 15th Short Story~

You can read Gekidan Altair’s short story 1 to 5 translated by Rai, so please, don’t hesitate to read their wonderful translations, and to thank and cheer on them ♥

Writer: Seki Ryouko (twitter)

Translator: Eydol (twitter)

[Summary]

The auditions are over, and finally, the new members entering Gekidan Altair are decided. The restless current members are checking the profile of the successful applicant without delay...

 [Story]

Just after that Tatsuhiko opened the door of the meeting room, Yousuke, who was on the watch, stood up suddenly.

“You came, Tatsu~!”

It wasn’t only Yousuke.  All Algeki members were gathered and everyone was observing Tatsuhiko with an interested expression.

“Everyone, sorry for making you wait.”

“Seriously, I was tired to wait.”

Touma said without shame and laughed.

“Good work, Tatsuhiko! Then… Had it been decided?”

Tatsuhiko nodded to Rintaro’s interrogation.

“Yes, they decided the new members. From now, I’ll show you their profiles.”

“Ooh~!”

Unanimously, delightful voices rose.

“Finally, I wonder who was chosen. It’s a pleasure!”

“Itsuki, that’s good. As expected, I also wanted to be an examiner.”

“It’s okay. One day, Tomte will also guide you, Touma.”

“Eh, well…”

“Let’s chat after, please, hurry and show us, Tatsuhiko.”

With Hijiri’s urging voice, Tatsuhiko took out files from the tote bag on his shoulder, then spreaded the documents on the meeting place desk.

“The new members are those 7 persons.”

Leaning towards the desk, all the members paid attention to the documents.

“Ugh!”

“It’s Nobuaki.”

The first voices to rise were Izumo’s and Ritsu’s.

“Aaah… That guy, he seriously passed it…”

“Nobuaki is amazing.”

“This Azabu Nobuaki is an acquaintance of yours, Izumo, Ritsu?”

With a fed up face, Izumi picked the documents to Maki who was tilting his head:

“Look at the history career written here.”

“Transfered from Tsukipro Child actors department… Aaah, I see.”

“On the day of the audition, he contacted me and said “take care of me” because he was absolutely passing.”

Ritsu looked shy and exchanged a knowing smile with Izumo.

“Eh, it’s an amazing confidence.”

“I’ve blocked him right away.”

“...No, Izumo. Whatever the circumstances may be, it’s horrible.”

“Maki, you can’t say things like that when you don’t know his annoying positive thinking!”

 “Ah, this person!”

Rintaro’s surprised voice rose, and he pointed at the document.

“Please look, Itsuki. Kuramae Kazuki remains...!”

“Ah, really! That’s good, right, Rin.”

“By any chance, is it the one you said he applied because he admires Rin?”

“Right, right.”

“At this moment, I was really surprised…”

“Take care of him, Rin~”

“Yes!”

 “Ah, when Touma came with the documents, there was a precise selected person remaining. Err… Komagome Taiki?”

“Waw… He had such a feeling…”

“? What’s happening? By any chance, is he an acquaintance?

Hearing Itsuki’s question, Touma shook his head with all his strength.

“No no no! Never! No way! He isn’t!”

“Really…?”

 “Hey, Itsuki. The ascending model you were talking about, it’s that guy?”

“Ah, yes yes. Nagano Tatsuya. Hijiri, do you know him?”

“No… Likewise, even if I see his face, he doesn’t remind me someone. So it means that until now, he doesn’t have exposure.”

“Hijiri is harsh like always. But I’m a bit worried for him. He can feel close things around.”

“Ah? Close things, like Yuri…?”

“What do you mean? Don’t tell us this guy is a newcomer fairy…?”

Sakuya and Izumi exchanged glances quietly, and Yuri smiled with significance even more.

“Fufufu. It will be great to be able to meet him.”

“Stop it! It’s scary when you laugh!”

 “Hey, hey, I’m very interested by this guy!”

Saying that, Yousuke picked up one document.

“Look, he’s a former stunt man! Amazing!”

“Aah, Morishita Shozo? Certainly it seems he will get along with you.”

“Seriously? If Tatsu says it, I will expect it!”

 “Well, are you interested by someone, Mikado?”

Rintarou brought the subject in a casual manner, and thinking a bit, Mikado answered “That’s right” and pointed a document.

“This guy, Ryogoku Junpei. There’s a little feeling of enthusiasm. This honesty is pure, I’m interested.”

“Really? Let me see. Inside, he seems relatively simple, his special skills are kendo and violin and… There are a lot! He has the smell of the gently celeb!”

“To, Touma, Touma.”

“I see. It’s possible that his facial expression gives an effect and can be such a factor. If he could relax a bit, it would be good.”

While taking a good look at the documents, the chat kept being noisy.

(New members, huh?)

Observing the high spirited members, Tatsuhiko let out a tiny sigh.

Currently, they were 12 members. With the 7 person joining, they will be 19 in total. As a Tsukipro’s unit, they will be a large family group.

(If the number of people increases, then various things will increase too, huh?)

Serious things, and of course, fun things too.

(But, well, even if I worry before it starts, it can’t be helped. I should act right now without overthinking after all, that’s an important thing I learned.)

It was possible that the him from last year would complain “the leader bears a lot of responsibilities” to Yousuke.

(But all together, we didn’t change at all until last year.)

Insufficient parts were just room for growth.

Things you didn’t know meant your world could be expanded.

They knew that they would experience various things, and that their weaknesses would also get stronger.

So, right now, it was okay if they had expectations.

Then, the first thing he would tell them when they would arrive at the dormitory, what he would greet all the members with...

ーーThe place that aim the bright first star of the evening. Welcome to Gekidan Altair!
