It’s here! It’s here!

The Come Steal Me scene is finally animated, and it’s perfect!!!

The tense, dramatic music that starts playing when Bachira’s name is called.

Bachira’s expression:

The way it zooms in on only Isagi when Nagi was also included in the manga

The slight sadness and shakiness in Bachira’s voice when he said he had wanted to stay with Isagi

Isagi’s blank and breathy (?) voice when he calls Bachira’s name

The beat dropping at the same time Bachira says “But I won’t wait for you, Isagi.”

The music turning emotional as Isagi thought, “From now on, I’ll have to chase after what I’ve lost…”

That sad music paired with Isagi’s look of heartbreak:

image

It’s PERFECT

I SERIOUSLY love whoever composes and edits the music in this show. All the OSTs have been hits. The music for this moment especially was really well portrayed in showing the shock, horror, and helplessness Isagi felt when Bachira’s name was called.  I also want to point out that the anime altered one of the lines in the manga:

image
image

“I’ll have to be the one chasing from now on.” In the manga, it’s unclear what exactly Isagi would have to be chasing since it happens so far apart from the line “what that loss truly meant.” It could be interpreted as him chasing what he lost (ie. Bachira) or him chasing to get stronger and catch up with Rin and his team. 

It was also a sentence that is really easy to miss if you’re skimming because it happened on the same page as the big reveal that Bachira was chosen. Most readers would be focused on that and miss the seemingly much more subtle line beneath it in exchange for moving onto the next page because they’re shocked, excited, and want to see what happens next. They could also miss this line of Isagi’s thoughts because it happens in between pieces of dialogue and some people wouldn’t focus on both at the same time. Meanwhile with the anime:

They actually moved this quote to later in the scene after the shock has worn off a bit. It’s the only thing on screen that we hear because there’s no dialogue. It also lasts way longer and covers 4 panels. In other words, we as the audience would be forced to focus on it. They turned that line from something that seemed to be not as important and made it a huge focal point. Also, they added more to Isagi’s thoughts: “From here on, I’ll have to chase after what I’ve lost to get it back again.” 

image

Some different translations from the subs we got also seem to emphasize that what exactly Isagi lost was very important to him. The anime is not leaving it up to interpretation. It’s 100% clear: Isagi is chasing Bachira, Bachira is important to him, and the anime wants everyone to know it.

Just wanna attach the manga’s official English translation of this scene for reference:

image
image

“In that moment, my head still hadn’t fully grasped… the meaning of what I lost here that which I now have to chase.”

Pretty close to the fan translation.

Actually, contrary to what you said, I think it’s pretty clear that Isagi is chasing Bachira since the line “that which I now have to chase” is placed on a page that’s 80% Bachira. It’s just not so impactful in the manga.

As you said, it occurs at the same time as the big reveal. And from Isagi’s expression on that page, it doesn’t really shows us how he’s realized what exactly he is chasing. He’s still in shock. And so were we, the readers.

The anime fixed this by moving that line after Isagi actually realizes what he has to chase. And that realization came in this scene:

image
image

It’s pretty straightforward and clear now. Bachira is telling him, “Come and get me.”

And Isagi responds:

image

As for the addition of the word “important” in the Japanese (but which is not reflected in the subtitles), kudos to the anime for it. When reading the part in the manga where Isagi said he felt like he just lost something important, it was quite unconvincing.

image
image

So many things were happening, and the manga format was just distracting for this. On the first page, we have the announcement text on a large font size scattered all over. And there’s also Nagi drawn with as much emphasis as Isagi (their panels are around the same size).

Then on the second page, where the important part is actually said, it just occupies a measly 10% of the page. We are not given enough time to process that because we are then quickly thrusted to the aftermath of them losing the match. With the large panel of the matching room and Nagi once again occupying too much space, our attention was then quickly diverted away from Isagi’s feelings of loss.

So thank god for the anime adding that “important” in Isagi’s earlier line. Coupled with the amazing background music, they really consolidated the emotional impact of that scene.

I don’t know if this means though if they’ll cut out Isagi’s “I feel like I just lost something important” line in ep14 since they’ve already clearly delivered that message in ep13. I hope they don’t. More bachisagi is always welcome haha

The King’s Men - Chapter Fifteen

Day: Monday, March 11th / 12th*
Time: 9:15 AM EST

Andrew gets Neil’s hair washed efficiently, if not gently, but by the time he moves on to Neil’s body there is more kissing than cleaning. Andrew makes the mistake of turning his face away at one point, so Neil chases water down the side of Andrew’s neck. Andrew’s fingers clenches convulsively on Neil’s sides as a shudder wracks Andrew’s frame.

Andrew tries to recover with a ground-out, “Your neck fetish is not
attractive.”

“You like it,” Neil says, unapologetic. “I like that you like it.”

He bites down to prove his point and Andrew turns his head into it with a sharp hiss. Neil smiles where Andrew can’t see it. Maybe Andrew feels the twist of his lips against oversensitive skin, because he tangles his fingers in Neil’s hair and pulls his head away. Andrew puts a hand flat against Neil’s abdomen and pushes, backing Neil up until he is out of the spray and pressed flat against slick, chilly tile.

Andrew bites the question into the corner of Neil’s jaw. “Yes or no?”

“It’s always yes with you,” Neil says.

“Except when it’s no,” Andrew says.

Neil puts a plastic-wrapped finger to Andrew’s chin, guiding his head up for another kiss. “If you have to keep asking because—I’ll answer it as many times as you ask. But this is always going to be yes.”

“Don’t ‘always’ me.”

“Don’t ask for the truth if you’re just going to dilute it.”
