(CAUTION: Sensitive topics might be discussed)
As you probably would have not guessed by the title, this post is for opinions on whose story is the saddest among all Reborn characters. I know everybody's story has a LOT of sadness dissolved, but I feel like some characters, from the protagonist's point of view, had it way worse. I would like to apologise if something of this sort already exists, and I'll take this down as soon as possible. I just wanted to know your opinions on this. (sorry for not being consistent with addressing throughout the post)
Let's start.
I'll start with my profile pic.
I feel like in the game, Taka had the saddest story overall. from childhood he felt like he never got any love, he was always told to man up, always told to bear it. His father was unable to express any love towards him in any manner(even tho he loved his son dearly). He feels comfort only from his Chatot, and later on the protagonist. To be very honest, if Taka is finished for good, I am happy to have refused to fight him in WTC, otherwise he woudn't have felt the little bit of happiness left before his demise. On the other hand, I should have probably fought him that today so that we would have been able to catch a glimpse of him But then again, when we would have seen him next time, I am very sure he would have been consumed by his own grief and would have decided to take a rash step.
To be cut short when you're living your best and have someone to rely on is a feeling that many people can relate to, and I cried when I saw Taka in that guard's armour. This was really a cruel mockery of the life he had lived, and according to me the armor made it even worse. The armor represented the false sense of protection and happiness he had throughout his life, and his dead body represented the fact that he finally, in death, has a safe place to be and to go to.
so that's that, and what are your opinions on this? I would love to see them!
until then, bye~
