the itoshi brothersā relationship is so complex and it makes me want to throw myself off a building so hard. spoilers to anime onlys, and spoilers for the u-20 arc onwards. if u dont wanna see then just scroll <//3 so anyways as i was saying, the itoshis
this is half analysis, half theory, part screaming, so like if u have anything u disagree w me on or anything u wanna add then please do
so obviously from the very start we can see how warped their relationshipās gotten ever since sae went to spain. rin focuses all his attention and efforts into getting better so he can crush sae, while sae doesnt even acknowledge his existence.Ā
at first, i only saw rinās side in this. i admit, up until i reread the manga and their backstory, i was thinking ab the situation solely from rinās perspective and ended up neglecting some details. most especially saeās reaction to the fallout, as well as some other minor details.
we can see from the suitcase than sae had just landed, and that his first instinct was to go to rin. his first priority was to go see his baby brother, with the intention of telling him about his decision regarding his soccer career. he obviously still cares about rin here, and we can see that as he didnāt ācompletelyā abandon their dream.Ā
for sae, his view on their dream shifted. after seeing how big the skill gap is between him and the world, he decided that he canāt be the best with rin as he is. especially as rin hasnāt had the opportunity to see how it actually is outside of japan. i think he shifted his view so that they can still be the best, just with him lifting up rin rather than being by his side. much like how reo shifted his view into becoming a midfielder so he can make nagi shine even brighterĀ
sae changed his resolve to become a midfielder, while he āentrustsā the original dream to rin. In his eyes, itās still their dream, as heāll still be the best with rin, just not as strikers. however, i donāt think he counted that rin would be completely attached to their original dream. well, either that or he was desperately hoping that rin would understand where heās coming from
to be completely honest i think it's the latter. as rin expressed his discontentment with saeās new resolve, we see in his eyes that heās frustrated. and then it all comes boiling over when rin yells āyouāre not the same brother i shared a dream withā
we can obviously see the hurt in his eyes before his face is masked by shadow. i think that deep down he already knew that rin wouldnāt accept his ānew dreamā but was still hoping he would. rin saying this was just the confirmation that he would, in fact, not accept it
again this post is half analysis half theory. personally i think that the brothers, in their own way, were trying to defend their relationship. rin wanted to keep the previous them, the them that were together in their dream always. sae wanted to preserve his relationship with rin somehow, seeing as how much he changed after his time in spain
sae, in his own way, is still trying to protect rin. at first, his original plan was to make rin the best striker by becoming the best midfielder. that way, rin isnāt alone when he finally faces the world. however, as rin didnāt want to give up on their dream, then sae decided that the best course of action was to destroy that dream so that rin wouldnāt get hurt any further
in my eyes this is the moment sae steels his resolve to shatter that dream. he then faces away from rin so his resolve doesnāt shatter, knowing that seeing his brotherās face in anguish will weaken that resolve
the fallout hurt both of them, but that hurt spiraled into two different responses. sae becomes completely aloof to rin, while rin begins to harbor a boiling āhateā towards sae.Ā
after the u-20 game, we immediately see that rinās āhateā for sae is in fact not hate. his first instinct is to call sae ānii-chanā a deeply affectionate title that hasnāt been said since that night. however, sae crushes rinās spirit by saying that isagi is the one that has the potential to change japanās soccer
now here i think sae, in his own, messed up way, is trying to motivate rin into becoming the best in the world. the worst part i think is that it works, as this is one of the critical moments that causes rinās way of thinking to change, with the other one being the fallout. here, crushing sae is no longer his āfirst and foremostā priority, and heās instead setting his sights on becoming the best, without anyone or anything holding him back
iām not very good at articulating my thoughts and there ARE some things i wanted to put here, but i couldnāt explain them in a way thatās coherent to anyone other than me. but the final thought im getting away with here is that ultimately, the brothers still havenāt given up on their dream, whether theyāre aware of it or not. by inadvertently giving rin motivation to become the best, sae is still giving rin a chance to catch up to him. in the same vein, rinās desire to catch up to and surpass sae is his desire to prove his worth to sae again
once again these are just my personal views on the relationship. i could be wrong, i could be right, i could be partially wrong or i couldve missed the point completely. either way i just needed to get that out of my brain. so if u have anything to contradict me with or anything to add, please feel free to do so! i love hearing ab other peopleās thoughts anyways <33
consider: teenagers arenāt apathetic about everything theyāre just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
