what i really like about daiya is the consistency, like a repetitive sequence but so subtle you have to like squint to make sense of it
like say, there’s the three new first years that made to first string
the ever small yui, wolf-boy okumura, and then there’s yuuki
the similarity to last year’s first years are so obvious it’s hilarious
yuuki is a genius batter like haruichi, yui and okumura are both catchers while sawamura and furuya are both pitchers, like come on now there’s no way that ain’t on purpose
yui is literally sawamura’s counterpart, funny right?
both have high expectations of themselves
always wanting to improve, forever growing
while sawamura lacks experience, yui lacks physical
sawamura absorbs everything like sponge, while yui proves height is not the only thing you need in baseball w his skills
sawamura’s fixated on miyuki’s approval, yui’s fixated on furuya’s approval
theyre literally sunshine children
both work so hard, but very little recognize it
it took almost a year for sawamura’s teammates to acknowledge him, yui tries so hard to play the position he wants to play but he’s been tossed around everywhere without being able to really prove himself]
then there’s okumura that basically is furuya
both had bad experience w their past baseball team
furuya came to seidou for miyuki, okumura came for sawamura (and maybe furuya too?)
they’re both so competitive lolol
both also have trouble eating
they both had shoujo moment with the ppl they chasing LMAO, like come on when miyuki caught furuya’s for the first time then there’s okumura who warmed up sawamura for the first time
precious children
i fr think they meant for okumura to not make it to first string as fast like furuya did, but made yui make the first string just as quick like eijun didn’t its wild, the consistency to these characters are so mindboggling
and then last is yuuki w haruichi
both have really deep respect for their older brothers
came to seidou to see what their brothers seen
obviously both “better” than their brothers
yuuki knows he can surpass tetsu, ryousuke knows haruichi can surpass him
ive not rlly seen much of yuuki, honestly and its sad bc his character is so comical lmaoo. very similar to his brother who so adamant on being so bad at shogi and not knowing it
daiya is such a slow build anime, it takes HELLA patience to like it. i honestly dropped the anime so many times and only went back to it recently bc i want more of miyuki, but then fall and daiya ii happened and gawd, im just mindblown bc the characters start to build up on you
i freaking love mei LOL, i legitimately hated him in the first season but this boy is so hard to resist
you dont understand how much i screamed when he said “I AM KING” like YES MY BABY LMAOOO yakushi makes me smile and i luv raichi and sanada, but man their participation in koushien despite losing to seidou made me eh for a bit bc kinda wild
seidou and inashiro been fighting to go to nationals tooth and nail for the last six or so years and then there’s yakushi. i get why tho, but doesnt mean i like it
i also didnt like eijun much, but my baby grew so much you just cant help but love him. even his annoying shouting spree became so endearing, i look forward to it every time he’s in the bullpen. that pitching he did during spring against Ichidai is so fucking precious like OMG i understood what the coach and miyuki were trying to do, but they were basically babying furuya knowing he was anything but that, furuya is stronger than that as miyuki put it and ik they have a lot of expectations on aces but god that scene made me so sad bc furuya’s alone in his thoughts as it is then they left him even more alone even w eijun there to help him, help them. it’s not just furuya that’s fighting something, bc eijun is too, everyday and it hurt that they made eijun cry and made him feel like he’s not even good enough to be prioritized when he can be so much more. even furuya acknowledges it and it makes me sad bc i really ship miyusawa, but at that moment, i just didn’t
anywho i love daiya LMAO, im waiting for the moment the chapters are at least updated bc i cant take cliff hangers rn lolol
Anyone else read this with the stereotypical Japanese “punk” accent?
I didn’t just read it in the accent. I felt the accent.

What the fuck did you say about me you little bitch? I graduated top of my class in the JSDF Special Forces Group, and I’ve been involved in countless secret missions against Al-Quaeda, and I have 300 confirmed kills. I’m trained in gorilla warfare, and I’m the top sniper in the entire Self Defense Force. You are nothing but just another target. Make no mistake, I’ll wreck you with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth. You think I’ll let you get away with saying shit like that on the internet? Think again. As we’ve been speaking, I’ve contacted my network of spies across Japan, and your IP is being traced, so get ready for the storm. The storm which will annihilate the pathetic thing you call your life. You’re already dead.
