first topic: ugetsu's childhood.
in extra 21.5 we see a little more about ugetsu's past. he talks about his father and grandfather being important people (diplomat father and grandfather being a politician). +

and with that it seems, ugetsu had a childhood absent from parents by his side.
since he was so young, he spent much of his childhood on a stranger's farm, and thus, finding his connection with music.

but the question of that is his following memories: ugetsu since childhood wanted to die.
it really is NOT normal for a child to normally say that he wants to die. ugetsu felt alone.
and this is really worrying because he was just a kid at that time.

and this is really worrying because he was just a kid at that time.
with the absence of a family and a warm bond, ugetsu grew up with several feelings trapped within him and not having a very good notion of what it was like to be loved and protected. he just had the music.
music has become your only way to express all your feelings, whether they are bad or not. he was really a person on his own.
> i’ll not do analyzes that go very deep into psychology because i don’t study this area so i can’t confirm anything for you, but i leave it to the interpretation of you about the ugetsu mind.
moving on.
and that's where akihiko comes in.
akihiko was the first person who became friends with ugetsu, and with that, became his first love.

akihiko was the first person who became friends with ugetsu, and with that, became his first love.
akihiko was the only person who really noticed all the conflicts that ugetsu felt. he realized this from the music, which as i said, was the way ugetsu was able to express his feelings.
akihiko describes ugetsu's music as painful and as if someone asks for help.

ugetsu's feelings and pain were so strong that akihiko really felt it and was moved by it.
he wanted to protect that person who asked for support and help indirectly with his music.
ugetsu has always been broken.

ugetsu has always been broken.
i think that at the time of akihiko saying “defile his music”, it might be to free ugetsu from his melancholy and suffering.
ugetsu never had a real sense of what it was like to love a person and be loved.
he always loved music, and that is something figurative, but not real. he was scared in a way.

he didn't want to get hurt and hurt the person he loved, but as time went by he noticed the akihiko's decline with music and violin.
(remember when akihiko said that after listening to ugetsu's music, he decided to give up the violin to support ugetsu on his journey.)

and of course, ugetsu was a sentient person, he noticed what the problem was and it affected him in a certain way.

the “suffering” that ugetsu speaks about may also be a question of giving up on following his desire (violin and music).
he loved akihiko, so he didn't want to see him fall. so he took the decision to end their relationship, which affected akihiko a lot because it was a hasty decision and because there was no conversation between them.
it may not seem like it, but that was a painful decision for ugetsu. he was doing it for the good of both, it was a good intention because he wanted to see akihiko grow up, but unfortunately it became something torturous for both of them in the future.
as i said, ugetsu didn’t know how to deal with all this, he calls himself a “coward” for running away from akihiko’s love. but he was afraid because he only knew his love for violin and music.
ugetsu knew that they both needed each other.
both ugetsu and akihiko.
but he also realized that they could both harm each other, overshadowing each other, and this is what happened to akihiko after listening to the prodigy boy and his burst of feelings.

but he loved akihiko too much, while wanting to prioritize his life in music, he loved him too much.
so it’s really difficult in that regard because ugetsu would lose more than he would somehow win.

he would lose his love, a friend and the only person he could find refuge.
so i think that for that reason he and akihiko did not totally separate.
because it seemed that akihiko still wanted to stay with ugetsu, helping him, even if it hurt him.

because it seemed that akihiko still wanted to stay with ugetsu, helping him, even if it hurt him.
ugetsu has the complete notion that he is being shit and hurting not only akihiko, but himself too.
and with that notion he tried to ward off all akihiko’s attempts to get back to what they had in the past, but akihiko didn’t want to leave and didn’t want to give up.
so it started getting more and more complicated to distance himself from the feeling he had for akihiko.

ugetsu really took certain painful actions to ward off.
and i think that these were acts of a person who had no more options.
out of pure fear.

both were injured in different ways.
akihiko didn’t understand why ugetsu was pushing him away, because didn’t hear a communication about it.
missed the conversation.

i think that if ugetsu had been more open about his fears and anxieties, akihiko would try to understand and think about a way that their relationship would not end as it was at that moment.
but painful decisions were made in times of fear and insecurity.

the only person who had a sense of ugetsu's pain and attitudes was mafuyu.
in an extremely painful conversation.

in this conversation, ugetsu talks about his insecurities since high school and how intense his love for akihiko and the musician is.
and how it affected not only him, but akihiko too.

ugetsu was really a person who needed help and guidance.
the fact that he’s an adult doesn’t change the question of being lost at some point in life.
ugetsu was in an eternal conflict over what to actually do from a moment on akihiko and music.

in this same conversation with mafuyu, ugetsu says that whenever he can, he tries to keep akihiko from himself.
but he himself says that whenever he thought about him leaving, he was not ready to imagine this scene.

because deep down he didn't want to. and it’s easy to understand because it was his love, but it’s also painful for akihiko. and ugetsu too.
both were stagnant in the same place. neither wanted to lose this "”game"”.

i don't know if i said it before, but ugetsu and akihiko were connected by the violin.
in this scene, akihiko communicates to ugetsu that he was going to leave the house, and until then it seemed that ugetsu was already “waiting”, but the moment akihiko says that he intended +

to open his eyes to new horizons and play other musics, ugetsu soon thought he would give up the violin.
and we all know how much in given, the author fuses feelings with the instruments / music, so it's easy to think about why ugetsu had this reaction.

he understood that akihiko from that moment on was really willing to go on with his life without ugetsu.
i also think that this reaction was due to the fact that, ugetsu had moved away from akihiko for him to evolve with his music and the violin.
i also think that this reaction was due to the fact that, ugetsu had moved away from akihiko for him to evolve with his music and the violin.
and the moment he interprets that akihiko would abandon that instrument, perhaps he had this reaction because he thought that all his efforts had been in vain.
because he wanted akihiko to shine with violin again.

but akihiko would not give up on this instrument, but he did not speak.
and again there was a lack of communication.
but i also think it would be complicated to have a conversation after ugetsu's reaction.

but i also think it would be complicated to have a conversation after ugetsu's reaction.
he was also not able to have a conversation like that because he had already been changed because of akihiko having gone months without coming home.
then we have a next scene. the day of the show.
even though ugetsu had a terrible fight with akihiko, he went.
and when mafuyu started singing, both ugetsu and akihiko were impressed by the explosion of feelings in the music.

and akihiko even came to associate the intensity of ugetsu's music.
and in the midst of this whirlwind, ugetsu realized how much akihiko was shining that night.
and he soon realized who had been the reason that made him love music again, as he once did.
and he soon realized who had been the reason that made him love music again, as he once did.
i don't see this "haha" that ugetsu gives as something sad, but relieved because finally the person he loved was shining again, as he wished.
after the show, ugetsu leaves the venue and makes his way home. and akihiko runs after him.
when akihiko calls his name, ugetsu already knew what the reason was behind him.

ugetsu tries to leave a quick speech and then tries to leave again but akihiko doesn't let him go.

it says a lot about how much ugetsu noticed akihiko’s change, because he managed to remember akihiko’s passion for music.

because it was a very painful situation and he was trying to stay strong because if he showed that he was broken for akihiko, maybe kaji would lose some of the courage to end all that suffering.
so he tried to remain 'indifferent and strong' until the last minute.

but the moment akihiko says that he loves the violin and that her determination about the instrument was not a lie, this caught ugetsu off guard.
since he thought akihiko had given up.

and soon akihiko apologizes for hurting ugetsu.
i think he could have a sense of the whole conflict within ugetsu and understood that it hurt him to put aside akihiko and fail to succeed in it.
or it may be another reason, it goes from the point of view of each one.

ugetsu was putting out his pain through tears, to the point of calling for akihiko and maybe asking him not to leave him.

then, we finally have ugetsu's farewell to akihiko.

ugetsu is a complex character and we don't have as much in-depth information about his thoughts and psychological issues as kizu hasn't addressed this yet.

clear that after his breakup with akihiko, he already wanted to abandon the lonely music he played, and now he could fulfill that wish.
ugetsu was wrong.
this is a fact and cannot be denied.
at the same time that he prioritized music, he loved akihiko afterwards and it ended up hurting both of them and leaving the relationship toxic.

but think about it, it’s really painful that you let go of the only person who understood you in a way and the only person who loved you.
not to mention that akihiko insisted on both. even if he didn't show it, he wanted to stay ugetsu.

this bow was not only important for the future maturation of ugetsu, but also for the development of akiharu and the evolution of akihiko.
i’m not saying that after this thread you should be forced to like ugetsu. none of that.

i just ask you to analyze everything with care and understand his side a little because he really is not a monster, as certain people say he is.
and i’m looking forward to an ugetsu redemption arc where it shows him well and healthy.
and most importantly: happy
