yamaguchi tadashi is so important. i’m not even joking like this is a kid whose most defining characteristic is that he’s not the best, but he still tries. like do you know how important that is for people to see?? (for me to see??) yamaguchi has countless insecurities and they don’t let you forget that. his feelings aren’t pushed to the side, but he’s able to work through them. and although his insecurities never go away, he still strives to become better. and you know what?? even after hours and days and weeks and months of hard work, he’s still not that great. but he knows he’s made progress. and he keeps going, he keeps trying. he wants to be able to help, he wants to be strong. and i just love yamaguchi so much i love this kid who’s always trying. i love this kid whose insecurities don’t stop him from trying but they still play a major role in how he thinks and how he plays. yamaguchi’s character development is one of the most realistic and relatable things i’ve seen in a long time & i will defend him till my last dying breath goodbye
