taichi, he’s back!
…he’s back. arata’s come home.
#chihayafuru#ayase chihaya#mashima taichi#wataya arata#taichihayarata#this time on: this show makes my brain get hot like an old laptop#i translated taichi’s final line differently than the original subs bc#taichi says that arata ‘’kaette kita’’ [verb]#rather than arata ‘’deteru’’ which taichi said EARLIER THIS SAME EPISODE when he reluctantly informed chy that arata was here#meaning arata ‘’emerged/came out/participated’’ and has a neutral connotation#and taichi didn’t say ‘’modotte kita’’ which is another neutral way to say someone has ‘’come back/returned’’#taichi saying ‘’kaette kita’’ is an acknowledgment that arata has returned Home/to a place he Belongs#txtit#reftranslation#anyway this show is a dissertation on love and it drives me INSANE!!!#taichi looking past his own jealousy and feelings of inferiority; overturning#the zero sum mindset ingrained in him since childhood bc he looks at chihaya who is overflowing with simple abundant love#and admits to himself that despite all this unnecessary resentment he loves and misses arata too#((there is an interesting clumsily articulated though im having w taichi being the most materially wealthy chara#with the deepest emotional wounds bc of a learned scarcity mindset encouraged by the society that keeps him/his fam wealthy.#capitalism critique??? in my shoujo sports manga???? listen i’ll go there every time baby it’s not likely it’s inevitable.))#tags outta hand. sry
