pezBecause I'm spammy.
Sometimes I wonder what had happened to Atobe, and what would happen to him should the story go on. Eiji reveals that Atobe had been obsessed with Fuji in the past, and this obsession has recently been renewed - but why? What has happened to him to make him turn his attention to Fuji again?
......Is his real obsession with Fuji, or with Tezuka? Why is he so intent on crushing Tezuka - it doesn't guarantee he'll win Fuji over, as he finds out in the end. Perhaps what he is obsessed with is the fact that he had backed down in the past, he had lost to Tezuka over something that couldn't, really, be won.
Tezuka doesn't own Fuji, no one can own him, as Fuji says so himself in the last chapter. Love can be given and received, but not taken. Atobe's failure to understand this brings about the tragedy.
I suppose, in the end, even Atobe doesn't know where everything has started to go wrong - his obsession with Fuji, with Tezuka, with being able to control every aspect of his life, feeling incomplete because he had lost in the past and it left a void inside him. Atobe has everything but the one thing that can fill that void. And that is why, when Fuji leaves Atobe's house, he says this:
"Atobe, go find someone who'll love you."

Date: 2004-09-29 11:27 pm (UTC)I did kind of feel sorry for Atobe in TOT. He did seem quite alone and I wonder if he felt jealous of the relationship that Tezuka and Fuji had. Also, if Atobe was so fixated on Fuji, why didn't be actively go out and seek Fuji out, instead of tormenting Tezuka to get to him. I wonder why Atobe didn't at least try to win him over, or was he resigned to the fact that Tezuka was the only one Fuji would ever love.
Apologies for the pointless babble ^^;;
I truly just love that story!! ^_^
