Eijun deserves the world. I hate the fact that the author hates their own MC. I personally hate also the fact like how dare they trample a perfect example of a sunshine MC. It just hurts my feelings since i prefer this type of MCs- positive, vibrant and growing (Eijun is side by side of Hinata Shoyō, the Chibi rival of ryouma echizen, goro shigeo from Majors, Ashido from Ao Ashi, Tsukamoto from Days, Tsubasa from Captain Tsubasa, Onoda from Yowa Pedal, and many others).
I'm a baby fan of Daiya no Ace but I am no stranger from shounen manga since I was 4 yrs old and these types of MCs may be classic for some but they have the personalities you'd want to root for, to cheer on to!! As such, emulated by Sawamura Eijun. I really cried in frustration in the treatment of Eijun from the Anime and Manga. He deserves most of the flowers.
I give parallels with Eijun's treatment with Asta from black clover as well. I've been shouting my heart out and ranting since 2017 how if Asta excels on one thing Yuno would surpass in gazillions more.
Finally, its Ironic how ao3 authors (bless them), give more JUSTICE to eijun compared to the actual shounen-sports piece. It warms my broken heart that there are people who feel the same. My favorite tags would be time travel, and also the yips arc or like what if eijun leaves (reason: I want more chasing/regret arcs from the team). Personal ultra-favorite if Eijun loses trust to Miyuki and trusts other catchers more.
Apologies for the hefty and long rant but I'm really protective of Sunshine MCs esp those I aforemention, and Eijun is an addition to these precious ones.
That's all. Thank you guys for hearing me out. Have a great day everyone.
