a thread on why kuon deserves rights:
he had high aspirations and he was excited to work on it with his team!! he worked to CREATE a football club and wanted to go to nationals and even world up, TO WHICH BTW HIS TEAM AGREED WITH HIM! but they probably didn’t take him as seriously as kuon ASSUMED his team would
kuon worked hard with his team and was obviously upset when they wouldn’t carry their share, it’s understandable that they wanted to have fun BUT keep in mind that they KNEW about kuon’s dream and yet they didn’t take him seriously
imagine being serious about something and having a group of people shit on you and treating your ambitions as a joke, FRIENDS NO LESS! kuon had every right to be upset and this created his distrust for teammates and formed selfish actions
THE PEOPLE HE CREATED A CLUB WITH!! who KNEW he wanted to go to nationals and even become a professional, they all left him calling him “high-strung” and “too serious” and belittling his dream to him “reading too much manga”
NATURALLY kuon would feel like it was him against the world, this was his first experience with his own football team and it left a HORRIBLE impression on him!! this creates a sort of “all or nothing” mindset for kuon to do WHATEVER it takes to keep fighting
his betrayal of team z was ultimately a shitty thing to do, kuon clearly had no regard for his teammates and was willing to switch to the other side. most likely bc team z kept passing by the SKIN OF THEIR TEETH and kuon felt his position at blue lock was being threatened
KEEP IN MIND that he never had determined teammates that took football as seriously as the other team z crew had, he was ultimately betrayed by his FRIENDS so how can he trust these strangers?? kuon fears failure more than anything, especially when he’s working as hard as he can
BUT HERE! HES SEEING HOW HARD TEAM Z IS WORKING WITH ONLY 10 PLAYERS!! he’s acknowledging that these players want victory SO BAD and how they’re evolving as a result!! that’s EXACTLY what he needed from his old teammates!! everyone is doing their absolute best bc they wanna WIN!!
if team Z were to lose, then most likely kuon would be the one to progress bc he’s ranked first on the charts, that’s the only thing separating him from kunigami since they both hadnt received any red or yellow cards (yet) kuon KNOWS this fully well WHICH BRINGS UP THE TOPIC OF..
KUON BODYSLAMMIMG NAGI INTO THE GROUND AND RECEIVING A /RED CARD/!!!!! WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?? he put his SAFE position into a WHOLE MESS OF JEOPARDY, WATARU KUON WOULD NEVER PUT HIMSELF IN HARMS WAY... BUT HE DID!!! FOR A REASON!!!!
he believes team z will win. this man, who got spat in the face by his friends bc of his dreams. this man, who betrayed team z to KEEP FIGHTING. this man, who realized that team z shares the same dream as him and want to FIGHT like him. kuon realized that he ISNT ALONE ANYMORE!
all kuon wanted was to be the best with his teammates, and as a result, turned into a self-serving douchbag BUT hopefully team z can change his outlook and make him realize he isn’t alone and he doesn’t have to fight alone anymore
i rest my case.
