Talk:Fubuki Atsuya

The Right Place?
Major spoilers here. So this page is about Atsuya, but...I don't really know if Atsuya Shirou's stuff should be here. I mean, it makes sense, but it's heavily implied throughout both the anime and the game that Atsuya didn't actually possess Shirou. Atsuya died, and Inazuma Eleven 2 didn't really have any supernatural elements. After playing the games a few times, I've always seen Atsuya Fubuki as a fabrication of Shirou's subconscious to get over the loss of his brother (or rather, to completely sidestep and not accept it altogether). That's why Atsuya leaves Shirou behind when Shirou makes the decision that he needs to become his own person, and that's also why when Desarm rejects him in the anime, Shirou feels rejected as well.

I've always seen his becoming Atsuya as not only a defense mechanism from shock, but also a way of coping with his own insecurities born from things Atsuya told him when he was alive. He would mock him for being slow or make fun of him for being uncoordinated, so he wanted to be better. And he did get better, even as Shirou, that's how he was able to challenge a bear or fearlessly Snowboard down hills. He became stronger and refused to accept his own strength. But I really think it's the combination of these factors that heavily give wait to the idea that Atsuya Fubuki is just a fabrication of Shirou Fubuki under the name and identity, rather than some possession. As such, when he "merges", he leaves Atsuya behind, accepting himself and foresaking his shortcomings (which is largely why he has Shirou's personality and both of their strengths; they were his all along).

Anyway, those are just my 2 centsMachomuu (talk) 02:31, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
