I've always thought that Atobe's saying "Tezuka, sorry to make you wait" to Tezuka in ep 140-141 was a bit odd, because it's the start of the program and it seems a little apropos of nothing.

So just now, because I am that obsessed, I went back and compared it with what Tezuka says to Atobe in the middle of ep 67. "Sorry to make you wait, Atobe."

The Japanese is exactly the same both times.

Hee. I love all the structural parallels in this series, and that was one tiny one that delights me. And of course it's so like Atobe, in his ongoing quest to create a Special Connection with Tezuka, to use his own words just to let him know that he hasn't forgotten anything about that match. Ahhh. I love this show. Just thought I'd share. ♥

Wallace Stevens: I KNOWASDFAKJLS WTF. WHAT DID HE SAY INSTEAD AT THE END?!
William Carlos Williams: mouto, mouto
William Carlos Williams: more, more I think
William Carlos Williams: granted, I only learned that word from ukes in yaoi, so I might be wrong.


The last time I was this excited for new canon was the release night of OOTP. Tenipuri, there are no words.
