I have been reading tenipuri manga scanlations for hours and I'm about to go blind, but I still haven't found the issue where Tezuka talks/muses about seeing the image of the samurai in Ryoma. Or did I imagine that? Or read it in a dj? Does anyone remember?

ETA: 232 & 234. Effusive thanks to

riddering!

...arg. I have that image in my head now, too. I just can't seem to remember where it came from, though. *_*;; (Though I thought it might be Inoue superimposing the image of Nanjiroh above Ryoma...)

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

It wasn't Nanjiroh -- it was a weird vision Tezuka had of a saumurai. It was so freakily supernatural!

Wow, really? Lol. I hope you find it and let us know! Now, I'm curious, too. XD

no, you totally didn't imagine it. I spent a LONG time looking it up once because I wanted to re-read the part where he calls Ryuzaki-sensai from rehab. That's where he says it, it's when he calls her and right before she asks him why he goes to such lengths for Ryoma.

OH. DUDE. Remember when you scanned the "because... I am his captain" picture? IT'S FROM AROUND THERE. HANG ON I HAVE THIS MEMORIED *checks*

Wah, your post is here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/prillalar/209221.html) but it doesn't mention the volume.

I'm *fairly* positive that it's from around 150-160-ish of the manga. Ironically, after I spent 2 hours or so hunting for that sequence I labeled the folders on my laptop so I'd remember where the scene was, but my laptop crashed and I have no exact memory of where it was.

But no, you definitely weren't making it up. It's during the phone call. WHICH ACTUALLY, ISN'T THAT A FLASHBACK THAT HAPPENS WHEN RYOMA PLAYS RIKKAI? I THINK SO.

You think I could have made a note for myself about it! But nooooo, I didn't.

I've just read from The Match up to 162. Hence my bug-eyed look. I shall check Rikkai and report back!

(Good thing I didn't tell you in advance that this is all in aid of Tezuka/Oishi. *g*)

...I've read that. I swear I have. Um... damned if I can remember where it is. Or maybe it was in anime narration in the Senbatsu arc or something?

It wasn't in the anime, that I know. I can *see* the image in my mind's eye. Just not, you know, the issue number. *g* Best guess at the moment is Rikkai, which I'll check in the morning.

I recently read the Ryoma-Sanada match so I know just what you're talking about. There is a flashback to Tezuka seeing the samurai image in chapter 232 and then he talks about it to Ryuzaki in chapter 234.

I love you forever!

I just read that this week, and realised: Tezuka is on drugs. Drugs that make him hallucinate and possibly cause a loss of emotional expression.

He probably got them from Sanada.

Sanada is Tezuka's dealer, eh? *g*

Well, he's from Rikkai.

I notice that Tezuka had to switch to another sort of drug when he went to rehab (for his arm, right? :D) in Germany, though; he seems much more relaxed than the usual CONSTANT VIGILANCE Tezuka. A little too relaxed, maybe, if he's talking about his hallucinations to his superiors. :D

It's all a bit confusing. Anime!Tezuka aka Relaxin'InGermany!Tezuka didn't see the hallucination. Or if he did, it was never shown or talked about. Manga!Tezuka aka OMGSoHotInKyuushuu!Tezuka did see the hallucination but doesn't really seem very relaxed.

Or am I too obsessed about canon? *g*

I think your definition of relaxed is stricter than mine. Hot manga Tezuka seems pretty relaxed (to me, for Tezuka) in Germany. He's just so--talkative and open about his motivations. Unless it's just that he and Sumire-chan are much closer than I had suspected. :D

Hee! Well, in Germany he *laughed*. (And I actually stopped the ep at that point and just stared at the screen for a few minutes.) In Kyuushuu he just seems casually dressed. *g*

Unless it's just that he and Sumire-chan are much closer than I had suspected. :D

I think a lot of people suspect that. *g*

Ah, yes. And that moment was connected up, narratively, with Sanada seeing the same vision.

... it's true, they are on the same drugs!

Have we ever seen them in the same place at the same time?

Oh, I guess we have. There goes *that* theory.

Must be the drugs. :)
