#Too many people undervalued him just because Nagi overshadowed him in a lot of things

I’m just here to say
Tumblr media
that I absolutely love Reo🥰
I know it’s been a while since the anime came out, but remembering the amount of Reo hate I saw from anime-onlies made me want to post this.
I feel like Reo was so misunderstood as a character. I saw a comment under something (I don’t remember if it was YouTube or tumblr) but someone was talking about how Reo was manipulative, possessive and not even that good of a football player, which really got on my nerves.
People tend to forget that:
He (among the stratum that Isagi was in) scored the 2nd most amount of goals (2nd only to Nagi)
He was the 10th person to clear the first stage of the second selection, while a lot of the players that we know and love were around the 15-50 range
He learned football 6 months ago, he is literally just as much of a prodigy as Nagi (just in a different way)
And about the Reo is possessive nonsense, just read Episode Nagi. I love that Episode Nagi gives the readers much more of an insight into Reo’s character and his relationship with Nagi. His anger at Nagi leaving him was definitely valid because Reo told Nagi (I forgot which chapter it was in) that he would never leave him, and then Nagi goes on and abandons him instead, without properly explaining to him why he was leaving. Though afterwards, we see that Reo was still happy for him that he was finding a place in this world, but he couldn’t express his feelings properly (they both have communication issues, but Nagi’s are a little bit worse, which makes sense since he’s only talked to Choki like his entire life).
Don’t even get me started on the people who blame only Reo for taking Nagi back in the NEL. Yes, I would rather Reo have not taken Nagi back like that, but what did you expect him to do (ngl if I was Reo I’d fold too).
Btw, no hate towards anyone, if you dislike Reo, that’s fine, but I just don’t like it when people misunderstand his character. He’s a really well-written character and I just want more people to realise it.
Also, who’s ready for the next Ep Nagi chapter🤩🤩🤩 (not me 🫠)
