Sports series and their lessons
SLAM DUNK: Ball is life.
HAPPY!: Ball is life and sex workers are great babysitters.
PRINCE OF TENNIS: Ball is life but a big responsibility because you might accidentally cause a mass extinction event.
KUROKO NO BASUKE: Ball is life and fistbumps are dangerously powerful.
FREE!: Water in large quantities destroys lives and the battle between a well-done coming of age story and capitalism and fanservice will give a director no choice but to seek solace in emotional devastation and violent action scenes.
HAIKYUU: Ball is life and volleyball is made up.
REAL: Ball is life and legs are optional.
ROBOTXLASERBEAM: Ball is life and it's important to teach this lesson to robots before their uprising so we have common ground.
YURI ON ICE: Getting shitfaced to meet your idols will only benefit your personal and professional life.
ALL OUT!: Ball is life and if you embrace this you can overcome your physical insecurities.
SK8 THE INFINITY: You don't have to be the best at something if you're enjoying it with someone you love and if there had been skateboarding in England in the 1880s JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would have been much shorter.
OOKIKU FURIKABUTTE/BIG WINDUP: Ball is life and your pitcher's health is paramount because if he is injured you have to take him to the outfield and shoot him like a horse with a broken leg.
TEPPU: There is no point in sports if you don't draw blood and excessive Jean Claude van Damme movies will permanently alter your sexuality.
EYESHIELD 21: Ball is life and Satan rules.
MEGALOBOX: No matter how dystopian the future, people will always want to gamble on the outcome of two men punching each other.
HIKARU NO GO: Ghosts are real.

I’M CRYING OH MY GOD I’VE ALWAYS BEEN SILENTLY FOLLOWING ROBOTXLASERBEAM LIKE ANY OTHER KNB ENTHUSIAST OUT THERE AND THE LAST PAGE OF THE LATEST CHAPTER GOT ME WHEEZING.
As I’m sure people know, most of RxL fandom ships Robo/Youzan (proven by AO3 ship tags), but I’ve always been silent about my deep affection for Robo/Tomoya the childhood friends pair that I’ve always loved in Fujimaki’s works.
(I even created an elaborate universe in which Kuroko is the God of Nothingness whose favorite human is Ogiwara and Robo is the God of Creation whose favorite is Tomoya, I was about to write it but then it turned into a horribly epic saga that lasted like 10 lifetimes shared between all of them and it included ten separate AUs for the separate lifetimes and I just simply HADN’T THE TIME.)
CONTINUING ON THO. I’ve always been curious about how Tomoya would be as a golfer. He’s a plain out tsukkomi character and we’ve never known him as a golfer and I was kinda curious about it BUT THEN HE APPEARED LAST CHAPTER IN WHAT SEEMED TO BE A CADDY UNIFORM AND I DIED SO MUCH.
NOW HEAR ME OUT. Pro Golfers usually have one caddy that followed them around across the world, and caddies not only carry the golfer’s bag. They also give pointers about the field, weather report, etc etc and it’s a highly analytical position. ASSUMING THAT TOMOYA IS GOING TO BE ROBO’S PERMANENT CADDY, that means WE WILL HAVE A BONDED-SOULMATE TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM (imagine like KagaKuro) AND I HONESTLY CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT
