#yakushi vs seido

[sportsanimefinatic]

I’m rewatching dita no ace (fourth time) and the yakushi vs seido game still gets me. When sawamura gets hit and gives up a home run and everyone is trying to cheer him up and he looks distraught and depressed and has his eyeliner (or eye bags) looks it just breaks me. I remembered all this and it still hurts. Can’t wait to feel more pain in the future (yips anyone)

⚾️ SLOW PITCH 2 ⚾️

[Daiyafess event] Daiyafess (Daiya no ace Indonesian fanbase) will held Slow Pitch 2 on January 25 this year. It's a fan event where fellow daiya fans gather to play slow pitch together. Slow pitch itself is a recreational sport version of softball. Even if we're beginner💦, we have a team of coach who will teach us how to play slow pitch. Hopefully someday we will be able to experience playing baseball itself! The first Slow Pitch event was held on August last year, earning enthusiast feedback from fellow fans. Last year we split the participants into two group, Seido and Inashiro. This time we'll have Seido vs Yakushi match! Six days left, are you ready everyone??? ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆ See you on the field ! Note : I will bring this postcard for participants 💞

I love how Kuramochi called Kawakami the “Rear Guard” here.

In pre-WW1 battles, the Rear Guard unit of an army fight off pursuing enemies when the army is on retreat. They protect their comrades from the back so that majority of the army will live to fight another day. If the army is on the offensive, the rear guard protects their backs from attack. In some armies, the rear guard are elite units strong enough to stand on their own.

So for me, Kawakami being rear guard is very appropriate and now he leveled up to Guardian Deity.

Seido being as strong as they are is because they know Kawakami is there to guard their backs.

SHIRASU KENJIROU OUR SAVIOR

[dailytodorokiraichi]

Listen.

The second summer Ichidai vs Yakushi match is such a personally offensive match to me. This match hurts my heart and soul more than any other match and Tera-san was so necessarily cruel to my good Boy.

So the Ichidai vs Yakushi match obviously ended with Yakushi losing, which ultimately doesn't bother me because if they had won they just would have gone on to lose to Seido anyway. Losing happens, it sucks.

But no what is personally offensive is how they lost, specifically that Tera-san made it Raichi's fault.

Raichi was at fault for the loss in two ways:

One: He made the initial error that caused Ichidai to be in a scoring position

and

Two: He was steps away from getting the out and prolonging the game.

Now, while these instances aren't exactly his fault, and there's no guarantee they would have won had he got the out, he was the ultimate catalyst for their loss and he takes the personal blame for it:

What is so unfair about Tera-san making it Raichi's "fault" that they lost the game is that there were 3 main factors to Raichi ultimately costing them the game. These 3 factors are:

-Raichi's Past

-Raichi's Love for Baseball

-Raichi's Talent

How do these 3 factors contribute it to being "Raichi's fault"? Let's count them down shall we?

3. Raichi's Past

As we know Raichi and Raizou don't have the best past, and following the divorce, Raichi and Raizou didn't have much for themselves. At the worst (if BatMan Under the Bridge is Canon) they were homeless and at best they were struggling financially and in debt. Raizou couldn't afford to send him to little league and Raichi was unlucky enough to go to a junior high without a baseball team.

This past meant that Raichi didn't get to play baseball until High School, meaning he is wholly inexperienced in the basics of the game. This inexperience often lead to instances of him making errors and his inexperience had an impact on his playing in the Ichidai vs Yakushi match:

But you know what else leads to Raichi making errors?

2. Raichi's Love for Baseball

It's no secret that Raichi loves baseball. So much so that he often times gets too excited while playing which causes him to shake violently and often to make more errors. Similar to the error he made during the Ichidai vs Yakushi match, in which his teammate has to tell him to calm down.

What is also significant in Raichi's Love of Baseball is his true and genuine enjoyment and love for the sport. Unlike many of the other characters, Raichi doesn't play to win, Raichi plays because he loves the sport. Raichi seems to acknowledge winning only as a means to playing more games, and cares less about victory than he does about playing the game.

This of course makes the loss even more bitter because of how truly he loves the sport and how much he wanted to keep playing that summer with his team.

And finally,

1. Raichi's Talent

Raichi's talent is the final contributing factor for the loss being "his fault" because it was him, through his talent, that got Amahisa Kousei to love and be passionate about baseball again.

If it hadn't been for Raichi being so unbelievably talented and crushing Manaka, Amahisa may have stayed away from Baseball and Ichidai Sankou may not have been the powerhouse they were without him. Raichi influenced the pitcher that ultimately came around to beat them.

It's unfair enough that Raichi's past, something he had no control over, and one of his best traits, his love for the sport, were factors leading to their lose but even worse, Raichi's own talent was used again him by Tera-san.

All these factors culminated into Yakushi losing against Ichidai. Which was really awful not because they lost but because Tera-san made it Raichi's fault, for which he openly blames himself for.

Raichi not only truly and dearly loves baseball, but he also cares deeply about his team. Yakushi was the first and only team that Raichi has ever played for, and he loves them dearly. So much so that he plays for them, instead of himself, which ultimately causes him to fail.

And now he feels as though he has let his team down and ruined the summer for the 3rd years, but not just any 3rd years, the pitcher he admires the most, Sanada. He feels as though he let Sanada down.

To which Tera-san rubbed salt in the wound by having Sanada apologize to Raichi for failing to stop them, because he knows Raichi and he knows that Raichi will feel guilty about the loss, which he does.

To make matters worse, and I've discussed this in length before, but the Ichidai vs Yakushi match comes directly after we get to see Raichi's mom leaving. Like prior in the series we knew that she left Raizou, but now we got to see her leave and why.

Like she left over Raichi's and Raizou's genuine love and obsession with the sport. They loved the sport so much so that she left to avoid being caught up in their lifestyle and coming second to baseball. Immediately after, they lose, which is just so hard to take. Like the Todoroki's lost their wife/mother to baseball and still lost to Ichidai?? Hurtful.

AND to be the absolute icing on the cake, Raichi hasn't reappeared in the manga since his loss. Meaning the last time we truly saw him, tears were streaming down his face as he blamed himself for ruining his teams summer.

So yea, I am pretty personally offended by this match.

TL:DR

Todoroki Raichi is one of the most well written characters and Tera-san did him dirty. Also he's criminally underrated.

Daiya no Ace act II Thoughts

I've been writing about Starmyu mostly, but the other anime I'm currently watching is also Daiya no Ace act 2. I cannot count how many times I reread act 2. I can, however, say that I've waited 16 weeks for them to animate one of the scenes I liked out of the whole manga thus far. But, the point of this post is I wanted to let out how sad episode 17 turned out.

This episdoe marked Sawamura's growth and break from being dependent of Miyuki to being more independent. I wished Terajima narrated what Sawamura was thinking while watching Inashiro vs. Teito, but at least we'll know it has to do with pitch calling.

Episode 17's closing was done prefectly. The manga didn't really affected me as much, but when they animated it, my gosh, I got tears. 3 months guys. 😭 Each memory scene while Miyuki was thinking to himself, showed that Miyuki is pretty caring even though he seems like he doesn't much. Sawamura and Furuya has come so far as pitchers. Every team member has come far. This episode also marked a start to a change in each player from Seido. Sawamura really did wake everyone up.

Currently the manga is at a point where it is a revival game against Ichidai and Yakushi. I don't really care for it, because I just want to watch Seido's next game because of Sawamura. I really cannot wait for what will come next for us viewers.

Thanks for reading. 🙇‍♀️ I'm not sure if I'll keep writing about Daiya no Ace, since I don't find a lot of people who reads or watches it. So once in a while is good.

[bakamura-eijun]

looking at the seido vs yakushi game pt 3 and seeing this scene

hurts me just from watching it like I can perfectly imagine what that feels like I've done it way too many times before bc I was horrible at inside pitches lmao

hitting a pitch with the very end of ur bat or too close to the grip like Nori did really sends a shock thru ur hands bc the bat vibrates when struck. basically ur hands will feel like when you hit that funny bone in ur elbow on something, it gets super tingly and numb and it's the WORST

and since Raichi throws so hard Nori's feeling it bad for a long time I'm cringing just thinking about it

Unsociable blond and his chatty friend are back to watch the Yakushi vs. Seido game!

COMPILATION OF SAWAMURA EIJUN'S TEARS

a study in how Terajima portrayed his main character while he crying.

chapter 1 - DESTINY'S FATEFUL PITCH

Eijun is in tears after their middle school rubberball team lost in their first and only official game.

note: eyes properly drawn. cheeks red from the emotional exertion, a stead stream of tears and individual drops flowing from his cheeks. There's also snot from his nose brought upon by his crying.

In the two pictures above, Eijun slaps the opposite team because he was angry that they insulted his teammates.

note: cat eyes, pupils not seen, a stream of steady tears.

chapter 3 - DAY OF DEPARTURE

Eijun eventually breaks down crying while the train is in motion. His former team had sent him off in tearful goodbyes.

note: at first we only see his head is bowed. Then a moment later, teardrops start falling. The next panel we see a closeup of his scrunched up face. His eyes are properly drawn too. There's also snot from his nose brought upon by his crying.

chapter 6 -PITCHER ELIMINATION (introduction arc)

Eijun sobs after Kuramochi asks him if he's training to be an Olympic Marathon runner and not a baseball pitcher. He also cries from being manhandled into wrestling moves.

note: played for comedic effect. Appearance of cat-eyes and there is a continuous stream of tears.

chapter 105 - CUTTER (seido vs yakushi act1 summer tournament)

Eijun sobs after Kuramochi taunts him of being a lesser version of a moving-ball pitcher like Sanada.

note: there is an appearance of cat-eyes and there is a continuous stream of liquid from the tear duct. The tears go down in drops after leaving his face. Effect is initially comedic but upon closer inspection of the next panels you see that he was genuinely insecure about it and had to be comforted by Miyuki. Therefore we can say it's semi-comedic.

chapter 192 - SENSE OF REALITY (seido vs inashiro, act1 summer tournament)

Eijun breaks down in tears on the bus after he see Yuuki Tetsuya crying in the seat opposite to him.

note: we cannot see his eyes since they are not drawn in and are also obscured by his bangs. Moreover his face is hooded for effect. His tears are portrayed in drops. This is serious.

chapter 217 - INNER VOICE (seido vs yakushi, act1 yips arc)

Eijun breaks down after being pulled out from the mound in Seido vs. Yakushi scrimmage. He shut down while playing and couldn't pitch neither to the inside nor outside and had to be replaced in the inning that he was subbed in.

note: Eijun's face is entirely covered by a towel, his head is bowed. The panels show individual drips of tears, not a continuous stream like in comedic moments.

note: It was only when Eijun stopped crying/when his tears ran out that we could finally see his face. Note his blank eyes and dark eyebags.

ch 258 - STONE (act 1, fall qualifiers)

Eijun openly cries in happiness while reading manga.

note: Eijun's eyes are shown in this, the continuous stream of tears makes a come back, suggestic the comedic nature of the scene. Moreover this seem to be tears of joy rather than Eijun being genuinely upset.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERTSPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

ACT 2 chapter 305

Sawamura in tears of joy after helping win the Seido vs Inajitsu summer tournament final match. He was holding it in until the medal was hanged on his neck. That's when the tears started flowing.

Note: continuous stream of tears, eyes properly drawn, individual drops. Serious. (But at least these are joyous tears).

Conclusion

If, while crying Eijun has

cat eyes - he's upset but with comedic effect

continuous stream of tears - can be serious but is comedic when there are no individual teardrops

individual tear drops - serious

eyes drawn properly - serious

eyes not shown - serious

Final Thoughts

this was interesting character and manga study for me. I did not expect there to be so much nuance in how Terajima drew things. While reading we now know why some stuff appear serious while other scenes do not. Laying panels all like this gives us an idea of the creative choices mangaka use to depict certain emotions.

Thanks for reading!

.........

EDIT 10/10/21 - WELP SO I SPOILED MYSELF. NOW I HAVE PHOTO OF SAWAMURA CRYING IN THE FINAL.

when i saw the spoiler i was like "that looks too familiar." and here we go! It's basically the same pose! From the eyes, to the tears, to the clenching of teeth, to the repressed shivers! what a payoff!

FEELS LIKE COMING HOME ISN'T IT?

Laying the two panels side by side feels like the end of the journey.

Okaeri.

[ankhlesbian]

Ok obviously the finals of this summer has to be inashiro vs seido. The mei/itsuki and sawamura/miyuki parallels are too clear. Also meis graduating so inashiro can be the big bads this season and yakushi can have it back later
