rin projecting his brother issues on isagi

i didnt wanna use the word parallels cause im scared of getting it wrong 😆 aot fandom is very harsh on people using the word wrong lol

but i thought these are similar scenes / callbacks some of them might be a stretch but i do have my reasons for putting them together

it’s funny how he projects sae and himself onto isagi he gets his sae flashback when isagi bumps into him after all

their dream of being the world’s best is the reason for rin’s “ life “ in football & sae put that on the line when he challenged him & he takes on his “ football is a battlefield “ thing after sae says it to him

w the panel about sae saying he will always be on rin’s side until death i thought it linked to isagi choosing to put his life on the line & reading rin ‘s intentional correctly - he “ covers “ him so he can score the goal w his destructive urges like sae covered him w toys
