Green Bean posted:They've realized she's a Shonen protagonist. People in real life feel frustrated or angry with themselves or others when they aren't good at something that's important to them. She does not. That's what makes her creepy. Yeah, this. And not only that? She doesn't even understand their frustration. She's all "Why'd anyone quit something this fun?  "By contrast, Natsuo has a more understandable if hosed up motivation.

Zenzirouj posted:The upended tropes have been pretty evident since the beginning of the series, but I don't think that's all there is to Yuzuko. I think the implication isn't just that she has a weird personality that's creepy once you're around it for a while, but that she also has some kind of neurological problem that causes pain to not be much of a deterrent for her. If the thresholds on her nervous system are higher than normal people, it would explain why being knocked around is fun for her and why it takes her a really long time to learn new movements. That's an interesting notion, and it pretty much fits with the vibe I was getting off her.

BigLeafyTree posted:Maybe some kind of deep rooted masochism? It would have to be from when she first joined that gym though which would be when she was like 7 or something, which makes it really weird. Honestly not unheard of. I've heard of similar things stemming from a similarly young age (not masochism specifically, but stuff that people would think weird to develop at such an age). After all, masochism isn't necessarily sexual--it just means you like pain (though it's usually just specific forms of pain rather than all pain in general).

ElMaligno posted:Or maybe she just really enjoys the thrill of fighting? poo poo I enjoy grappling and rolling on the mat and its not because I am a masochist or a sadist for that matter. Masochism isn't always sexual as I said. But I don't have any real investment in this theory--I'm actually neutral on any and all theories about what's up with Yuzuki. And honestly there isn't any need for a real 'diagnosis' in this case; the whole point seems to be to poke at a common protagonist archetype and point out how weird it would seem to many people. EDIT: If Yuzuki could be said to have anything, it's 'shounen sport protagonist syndrome'. Kaja Rainbow fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 3, 2014 |
