I’d like to start by thanking dear @gracyfangirl2020 for requesting me this analysis, Genda is one of my favourite character after al,l and I hope to give him justice.
Genda is such a caring, reliable, down to earth friend, he inspires trust in others and despite being a supporting character, he often plays an important role. His first real appearance is during Raimon’s second match against Teikoku, ep 12, where he’s shown to be the only one worried about Kidou’s wellbeing and what he was up to.
We can see just how much he cares and how he’s ready to just stop his friends from doing anything that could bring them harmÂ
BUT, here’s the second most important thing about Genda: he follows orders. Despite his will to protect Kidou, he won’t defy an order from the higher ups.
He reminds me of the yakuza, honestly, he’s passionate but knows when to restrain himself, obedient and loyal, he’d make the perfect right hand man for a yakuza’s boss and anyway I believe he was born and raised in a very traditional/strict family.
But despite all this, he’s a person with a rooted moral sense and we can see, both in the original series and in Ares, just how much he despises Kageyama for his action. Even if he has to recognize him as his Coach again and again he won’t be silent about his disapproval.
He’s fierce and passionate and in the original series
his role as the emotional pillar for his friends is as clear as day.
It is no coincidence that during the Aliea arch he and not Sakuma was the one directly pursued by Fudou. If you weaken the one peoples rely on, it’ll be easier to bring the others down as well.
And yet, even with the Aliea Stone that enhanced his negative emotions, he was still able to care and worry for Sakuma, that shows just how big his heart truly is. Stronger than hatred, stronger than its dark side itself.
A similar situation happened in Ares as well. By putting him on bench, Kageyama knew he would upset the team, damaging its emotional balance and performances. And only when he came back on the field did they unite once more as a whole oiled machine.
Not only he gave stability to his team, he even acted upon his own moral code and judgment, ripping the captain’s band from ShimerigawaÂ
to give it back to whom he believed worthy of wearing it (Sakuma),
without asking first to the one that should’ve been in charge of such a decision. He follows orders, yes, but he also has limits.
Deeply disgusted by disrespectful people
Always supportive of his friends in all their decisions, like when Kidou switched to Raimon and wanted to take Zeus down
or when he went to Kidou’s graduation ceremony
A heart so big that makes him constantly worry for his team
but for others as well
In conclusion I’d say that he’s one of the few characters I’d go to for advices and I know I’d be greeted by an heart-warming smile.
Hope this was a good analysis and what you expected <3
I love this official art because one, sakuma looks as beautiful as ever and two, the way he’s clenching his fist.
Like chill out girl nobody’s taking your man away from you
And Gouenji looks dumb as hell, wake up man
I’m trying to work as fast as I can but I want to write good analysis for you guys so bear with me please ;;
This one is for @psychochangerx, hope is what you were looking for!
Keep reading
being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"
