Fiction is fiction, and I read this series as a guilty pleasure. Though uh, chapter 34 kinda make me wanna question my own morality of why I am reading this anymore. Feels so weirded out by chapter 34.
Groomish talk and on their parent bed, nah have some respect for their parent please. Gonna keep reading this brain rot, and try to turn off my brain more.
Hikaru will now be starting her path. She will now be more motivated than ever. Riley is so lovely caring for the children health. I wonder where will Jun go...please don't quit ice skate entirely...Just skate for fun. I don't want this man to be depressed and quit. Someone get a textbook for jun mindset, I swear this man need to be psychological study. He such a deep character, a case study is definitely needed. Anyway, I need to Tsukasa trying to developing the "Hawk sense", more (body position awareness or awareness in general?) and teaching Inori. I wonder if Jun teach Hikaru this? I think if Tsukasa manage to perfect it and teaching Inori this, this will Inori advantage over Hikaru as rival.
I was so much in panic of quad Lutz, I legit forgot about "Hawk sense" build up in Chapter 40, it was a bit glazed over but that ok. I think is a great foreshadowing to the resolutions and building with the issue growing pains. Being aware of one body position and body capabilities. I can't believe I forgot about this. I think this will be next subject of Tsukasa and Inori to tackle to learn this in a sense. So I think basically Tsuruma sensei has laid down the issue and we are resolutions section, first Hikaru problem and next one should be Inori. I think Jun himself didn't teach this Hikaru as he, himself, in away maybe didn't realize it of this so abilities he has but Tsukasa was able to conceptualized it. Not sure as we only know Jun just been teaching to copy-paste, not Hawk sense actual concept itself. I don't know if Inori will ever be able to get concept of guiding oneself like Tsukasa and Jun, or that just something a genuis basically Jun and Tsukasa has. I got too excited sorry for long unnecessary interpretation.
Honestly...with more and more difficult technique. I think the author need to recheck what kid body are capable off. If Hikaru keep doing technique that her body, realistically, her body can't handle it, it is going to ruin her. Hopefully is just one time thing or luck cause jesus. This is giving me Russian ice skating ptsd. The only way I can see Inori beat her, is litterally by sheer luck at this point, because these technique are god damn diffucult.
i believe that's why Jun Yodaka specifically warn Hikaru to not follow his example, despite Jun still loving/can't run away from the Skate i think something happen to him that made him stop from competitive skater and how he so fixated on "Sacrifice" and also i believe Hikaru herself knows this fact for sure. Despite all that i believe Jun is kind and passionate person, he cares for Hikaru and can see people potential like what he did to Tsukasa, his reason why he always scare Hikaru that he would quit coaching her is to make her stop sacrificing everything just for instant moment of brilliance, but at the same time it is the reason why he coach Hikaru in the first place.
btw, it's all just my theory based on what we see since this manga rely heavily on the character and till now every character have valid reason to pursue their dream.
I love your theory!! Honestly I thought is just more author fiat for the quad lutz, because is very difficult technique.
i just believe because the author put so much realism in the manga already so i really doubt he/she gonna miss it (hopefully), with Inori shin splits case and Ema growth spurt case, it'll feels bad like you said if author misses this kind of details.
i really want to know more and hope to read new chapter already hahaha (〜￣△￣)〜
I believe thats what riley was talking about at the end this performance was just for hikaru to let it all out and reach her peak but after it she said coach riley can start limiting her quads
Oh I know this now, this comment was before chapter 52 translations was released ♂
