#i mean i know i'm a suou supremacist but this whole chapter was about love and coming to terms with his past/present love for karuta

[beldaroot]

so suou’s most liked poem is “ai mite no” which is a poem about comparing your past and present feelings of the thing you love and renewing that passion “as if [you] have never loved before.” suou initially liked the poem because it was the “first sound that filled the emptiness in [him]” since it was said by his aunt who he cherishes. but now the reason he’s fighting so hard to get that poem’s card is because he’s realizing that he rather have his heart be filled with light than darkness or emptiness, and therefore, he is essentially renewing both his love for karuta and his want to remain as meijin :’)

#chihayafuru #cf #suou hisashi #I LOVE HIM SO MUCH THAT'S MY MEIJIN!!!!! #every new chapter actually makes me more insane #light and dark symbolism.... suetsugu knows EXACTLY how to appeal to my tastes lol #idk this might be an unpopular opinion but after this chapter i really do think he's going to win the meijin title again #i mean i know i'm a suou supremacist but this whole chapter was about love and coming to terms with his past/present love for karuta #like we've never seen him try so hard to get a card.... his love is being renewed... his heart is now filled with light.... #taichi wanting arata to win so suou can be defeated by someone who loves karuta.... but suou IS a person who loves karuta now!!! #he still wants to be meijin!!!!!! suetsugu sensei pls let him remain meijin :(
