Initially, I perked up in interest over this scene because I was definitely kinda low-key shipping Aomine/Momoi and I found it interesting that he admits that he feels bad about earlier. He was still a bag of dicks, he still told her to shut up (in that anime character sort of way), he’s still acting arrogant and full of himself, but I could see why Momoi would catch glances of the Aomine she knows.But going back over it, I’m find it interesting on a character level even more, that Aomine is intrigued by them and I think, even under all the absolute surety that nobody is anywhere close to his level, even now knowing how disappointed he’s going to feel after the game with Seirin, that there’s something in him that wants to have a real game against someone, that he’d be totally down for taking a rival seriously, that he’d apologize for not showing up on time, for not practicing harder, for not giving it his all, if there was someone who could match him.By this point, Aomine no longer seems to believe that that’s possible (and I think I want it for Aomine’s happiness, for him to have a rival to make it all worthwhile, just as much as I want it so that the bag of dicks will get a wakeup call), but I can see glimpses of the person who does value hard work and respect towards the other players.Which doesn’t take away from that he’s still a bag of dicks and I’m going to deeply enjoy every potential moment of someone climbing their way up to his level and hopefully (metaphorically) punching him in the face. But I’m also going to enjoy that he’s really good and that he makes great faces and that he’s a majestic asshole that I love.(Being fascinated by an asshole doesn’t mean I’m okay with his behavior, nor does seeing the sympathetic sides of his character mean that I think his rudeness and jerkwad behavior is okay. I guess it’s the difference between seeing someone who’s worth helping/knowing underneath the asshole behavior and just being amused by someone’s asshole behavior while being ready to have them kicked to the curb. And Aomine has definitely fallen into the former category for me.) -- source link
