Eiji the professional photographer. Let's talk about it!

Though this might be obvious, Eiji's "journaling" is basically through photos. He seems to be the type to take in the moments, than write them down. Along the way, I think he's finding a bit of his place and new found interest in photography. I wonder about what kept Eiji going in that path even after Ash? We see him locking out Ash's photos away for a long time in Garden of Light. If he ever wrote down things still, that would be an interesting idea to take, considering they were always on the go. Probably written stuff during nights, as he looks at the photos he recently have taken.

There's probably him realizing that being an athlete may not be what he wanted in the long run, there's the injury I don't think he has gotten over with because he did took that hard and there wasn't much time to even heal from it from all the events that went down with Ash. Okay maybe he's gotten to terms with it somehow behind the scenes, since being in the USA gave his world a huge unexpected shift.

Going back, it feels like Eiji continued photography as a way to cope, to heal, but definitely with the passion along with it because even he can't even look at Ash's image for a long time. Yet the very image of him transpired a lot of things in him. But of course, I do think Eiji found his footing and desire through this art himself, his eyes always had a thing for things unseen, his eyes are dark of color yet the depth does exist in them. They always have.

i will never forgive how the anime did my boy

Eiji responding with "Forever." after Ash asked him to stay with him and specifically said, "I won't ask for forever."

"Even if the whole world is against you, I'm always on your side."

"For you, I would do anything!"

Eiji was so IN so committed to being with Ash and it's like.... do you think he had any idea of what that meant to him??? like Ash, who never expected anything from anyone. Whose entire life was filled with people (men specifically) who used him for his body, their own perverse gratifications, or whose loyalty to him was contingent on him being a boss. Like we all know how smart Ash is, he knows his time as boss and leader is fleeting, and at any moment someone could come along and take him from the top, and thus take the loyalty of his crew with him. He knows Dino only sees him as an object someone to use and mold to his purposes. He knows his entire world is fake.

And then here comes Eiji, who from day one sees him for what he is and just accepts and cares for him as Him.

I'm awkward and anxious as hell, but if there's a Banana Fish discord I could join in, please let me know. I can't keep suffering through this yearly banana fish depression alone everytime. Really want someone I can fully share it with aaaa, hell, maybe not just BF related all the time too. So yes yes, please let me know. 👉🏻👈🏻

Kimono smooches 😘
