PRECIOUS CHILD

ygo-confessions:

More people should realize just how much Syrus/Sho grew throughout GX and not judge him just on how he was at the beginning of the series. At the start, he was a lazy student and barely got into Duel Academy. At the end, he was valedictorian, hard working and focused on his studies, and is a very good duelist.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned in some of the reblogs (because thank you Tumblr for changing the note format way back for no raisin), but it’s not so much that Shou was a lazy student as it was that he was lacking self-confidence.  When Judai’s all cocky about being #1 despite scoring lower than he did on the Entry Exams, he outright says he’s jelly of him for that–also kind of where his reason for calling him “Big Bro” comes in–and he spends a lot of Season 1 still doubting himself, especially because things didn’t work when he was cocky–as we find out in a flashback–years before. (“I’ll do a handstand naked!”) He gets a boost from his Tag Duel against the Meikyuu Brothers, but it’s not ‘til Season 2 that he starts coming into his own a bit confidence-wise; his duel with Ran/Missy being the tipping point.  Then there’s Season 3 and how he’s trying to reconcile dueling respectfully with the Dis-Duels and his development over whether or not he should choose to look after Judai after he’s the Supreme King.  And then there’s Season 4 where he picks up an important duel from Hell Kaiser and outright says that they and the Cyber Style won’t give in to Jinzo-using-guy-whose-name-currently-escapes-me, he gets used to the Cyberdark Deck, and even resolves to build a new Pro League with the Kaiser.

Shou grows a lot over the course of GX. :’)

Rewatching GX, and I just wanted to point something out here; Shou is clearly and audibly very upset about this, but Judai seems to brush this off rather quickly. You could argue that Judai is simply trying to cheer him up, or get him to overcome his fears, and you may be right to some degree, but I think we can all agree that there are much friendlier methods of doing this. Instead, he brushes Shou’s anxiety off, rather than addressing it, which is rather invalidating and proves that Judai is more interested in his own self-fulfillment than the state of his friends/friendships. 

Now, maybe this isn’t the greatest scene to prove this point, since the ‘Benkei’ in question is Kenzan, who turns out to be pretty much harmless, but Judai doesn’t know that. And yes, the bridge which they’ll have to cross is on their way anyway (meaning they’ll have to face Kenzan at some point) but he seems to treat this fact like a game. He’s not doing a service, or defending the academia’s dueling honor;

He’s doing this for himself.

I think Shou from GX is hugely underappreciated as a character. People dismiss him as immature or clingy, but he goes through so much. In Season 3 alone, he loses all of his trust in his closest friend, then literally sees his brother die, and is one of the few real ‘survivors’ of Dark World. He even goes on to surpass his older brother as a skilled duelist by the end of the series. He’s one of my favourites, and yet, people so often ignore him. It’s sad.
