Reader’s Question:
I just watched episode 12 of the anime Medalist, and I was really moved by Tsukasa-sensei’s skating scene! It was so cool! However, I have a question: why did Tsukasa-sensei choose to show his skating to Rio-kun? I don’t think it was just to prove himself after feeling looked
down upon by Rio-kun, especially since Tsukasa-sensei usually has a pessimistic view of himself. He mentioned it was for Rio-kun’s lesson, but what do you think was his true intention behind actually skating in front of him? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Reflecting on Tsukasa-sensei’s Skating Moment
Hey there! I just finished watching episode 12 of Medalist, and wow, Tsukasa-sensei’s skating scene really hit me right in the feels! I mean, seeing him glide effortlessly on the ice was such a powerful moment. It got me thinking about his decision to showcase his skills to Rio-kun, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you all. I totally agree with what the other commenter mentioned about Tsukasa-sensei wanting to teach Rio-kun that hard work pays off. It’s like he wanted to say, “Look, I started late too, but look at what I can do now!” There’s something so moving about him not just skating for himself but for Rio, who seems to have given up on his own potential. It’s like Tsukasa-sensei was trying to ignite that spark of determination in him. I can’t help but feel that his tears during that moment were a mix of joy and a bit of sorrow for Rio’s struggles. What really stood out to me was the contrast between Tsukasa-sensei’s usually pessimistic view of himself and the confidence he displayed on the ice. It’s almost like he transformed into a different person—someone who believes in the possibility of growth and change. It reminds me of times when I’ve doubted myself, but then had a breakthrough moment that rekindled my passion for something I love. You know, just the other day, I was trying to teach my kiddo how to ride a bike. I felt like I was just bumbling around, arriving at the park too early, forgetting to bring snacks (the horror!), and then having to watch them struggle. But then, when they finally pedaled off on their own, it felt like a mini victory. I mean, it wasn’t as graceful as Tsukasa-sensei on ice, but it was a moment of pure joy that I’ll cherish forever. So, what do you think Tsukasa-sensei’s true intentions were? Did he really just want to prove something, or was it deeper than that? I’m curious to hear your thoughts and any experiences you might have had that relate to this kind of moment. Maybe you have your own stories of inspiring someone or being inspired?
