Orihara the entire chapter
This. Orihara is an obvious foil to that girl from Paisen's exam group. Whereas she was shown to be angry about it and reacted as such, she was open about her feelings and as such the boil was lanced and she was able to be cleansed and calmed- in part because she already had friends who would support her. Orihara seems more the opposite, keeping everything internal and letting it fester, from day one, when Nagatoro stopped paying as much attention to Judo and started screwing around, only for her to come back just as strong as she ever was but with a big group of friends, a boyfriend, and a bright life ahead of her. This feels like it's resentment for being the one left behind, since it was said I think by Gamo-chan long ago, that Nakatoro was the only one that could challenge Orihara, so she's been listless, basically stagnant without any challenge and likely feeling directionless, ever since then.Orihara is likely just envious that Nagatoro did not give up everything in her life for judo like she did.
I think they're on the semi finals now, so they have to face one more opponent before facing each other.My prediction is a very good and close match but Nagatoro and Senpai will both end up with 2nd place.
Here is my guess: Orihara beats Nagatoro and breaks into tears, because the victory has not brought her the happines she expected. She feels defeated.
I predict some form of tie, with a technical win for Orihara that leaves her really dissatisfied (don't know the rules of judo so maybe that's impossible). Then AFTER the fight comes the heartwrenching drama, resolution and reconciliation between them.could be jealousy. Orihara sacrificed probably quite a lot of free time and "youth" to get where she is.
but now Nagatoro, after a lengthy break, seems to have trained just a little bit and seems to be already be equal to her AND got a boyfriend AND a large group of friends who support her.
meanwhile Orihara is mostly shown alone. of course her team members congratulate her, give her pats on the back etc. but she is rarely shown in a group of friends.
so my assumption is that Orihara gets herself dragged down psychologically and loses to Nagatoro, after she disolves into a puddle of tears but gets lifted up again by Nagatoro and gets added to the friend group permanently.
...🏳️🌈?
perhaps orihara wins but feels empty inside and toro loses but still is happy, ori is like 'Y U NO SADGE, Y ME SADGE? I WINNED??!!!?!'I predict some form of tie, with a technical win for Orihara that leaves her really dissatisfied (don't know the rules of judo so maybe that's impossible). Then AFTER the fight comes the heartwrenching drama, resolution and reconciliation between them.
Maybe it’s just me, but her witnessing them together twice without them noticing makes it seem like she is a bit of a stalker.
What is that look in Orihara's eyes? Love for Nagatoro? Has she realized that Nagatoro has something else she loves more than judo and that's why Nagatoro probably won't become a professional? She won't face Nagatoro in the future, which depresses her.
