Lol what the hell is with his complex? Did Garrincha have the same issues?

 

[razxiko]

Man I hate the dude so much sometimes I wish he got beaten up or something. I know it's not right but it made me think like that is so urgh man

 

[lpe]

Does he not remember that before getting himself injured, ryu was better than him? Nice memory dude.

 

[Blu7]

Well, even that, he never admitted it. I mean, remember that after their game, he claimed that he scored more goals than Ryu (making Ryu unleash his wrath on the poor next opponents...🤣)

But I really hope for a flashback about Sakuraba. At a moment, during the "team F" arc, I thought

Spoiler

that maybe there was something about his grandfather being the only one cheering for him

. But as he was already a jerk in elementary school, I do not think that this is the issue....

 

[jaeparku]

He's like the Vegeta of this series. Starts off as a bad guy with his arrogance and looking down on others, and slowly starts to develop respect for MC, and eventually becomes a decent guy.

 

[Kurapika_89]

Sakuraba may be a jerk but I tend to remember the words of a girl in ch. 88, when he was faking courtesy: 'Isn't he meek?'
Naaah.
He is surely a jerk and he is surely NOT a boring character.
More, if he was a good boy what would be his role in this manga? Ryuu is the hero. Takumi cannot take away his spot.

 

[Sonaldo]

Sakuraba suffering? Inject it into my veins please. Skill and talents alone wont bring you to the top.

 

[Demotivator]

The first step is denial...

Bro, stop damaging public property.
That's vandalism.

Does he not remember that before getting himself injured, ryu was better than him? Nice memory dude.

He still thinks Ryuu is a has-been, since he was in rehab for 2 years, not realizing that this is exactly what makes him such an incredible player.
Everyone else would've given up on soccer after that, especially him, since touch sense is the main ingredient for his techniques.
