BE BLUES ~Ao ni Nare~ - Vol. 36 Ch. 359 - What he Chased After...

[Cerisine]

This chapter is all kinds of painful

 

[YesEvil]

Honestly don't like the fact Ryuu has completely given up on doing such things. Guess it is a wall of his injury he has yet to overcome.

 

[hibiki121]

Sakuraba motivating Ryuu? DANG

 

[Blu7]

Ryu is too "nice". As was saying coach Pop' (yeah I know this is basket-ball): I need some nasty!!

 

[jaeparku]

Ryuu is not realizing that his pre-injury self would've done this on a regular basis.

 

[maki-sama]

@Cerisine indeed. All kinds of painful. Prime Ryuu would've exceeded that. His ideal was just Ryuu version 1 kindergarten level.

 

[RandomDoge]

Can this be deemed a case of the yips?

 

[Meo]

I appreciate Sakuraba's courage/indiscretion to bring up what everyone was thinking. Got to rile them up...

 

[bloodnest]

minus points for yuki here, she as a kid went thru all this shit with mc yet the her right now still dejects all that development with just a lil glimpse of what he "coudve been". anna as much she is ignorant of football wouldnt take shit for an answer and have ultimate fate in mc. yuuki basically confirms him as a has been, that look in her eyes is doubt when she should be ryuutos solid rock.

so mc become the pathetic one. well that's character development, in the opposite way. Good job improving him by losing and losing.

well my friends recommended this to me, but right now they have abandoned this manga. i get why they did it. the disappointment is huge after hyping the mc, the author is making him more useless. its like hajime no ippo, the worst sports novel ever. development is never done by losing, its done by wining and learning by winning. i m gonna drop if they lose this match

@PCS

There is no one way to develop a character. Losing can be just as important as winning when it comes to growth. Seriously, this is much preferable to a MC that never loses.

But you do have the technique and creativity.
The author just gave your old abilities to Takehiko to make the showdown more exciting.
