I’ve seen several posts drifting around about why Sousuke puts extra emphasis on the line, “Rin, your friend!” and I just wanted to clarify some things that might have been lost in translation.
I mentioned in another post that it’s because given the context, yes, the line translates to “Rin, your friend,” but what Sousuke was really saying was “Rin, with you“ (Rin, omae to), and this speaks so much more to me since the Japanese language is all about subtleties and double meanings.
Sousuke is not only saying that he wants to become true friends with Rin, but he’s also saying that he wants to be WITH Rin. He’s also expressing the fact that he wants Rin by his side, and even if this is the last time they’ll be able to be together, to swim together, he still wants this because Rin means so much to him. He wants Rin to be a part of his life and he wants to be a part of Rin’s.
The way he delivers the line is so heartbreaking (kudos to Hosoyan and his beautiful voice) because it can be interpreted in several different ways, and Sousuke really just wants so much more that he thinks he will never be able to have, perhaps a future with Rin, a future where he will be on the same stage as Rin, a future where they could be together, even though he couldn’t be more wrong.
THANK YOU, YOU ARE TRULY A BLESSING. I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE BEHIND THE MEANING OF “RIN, YOUR FRIEND” IT SOUNDED LIKE A CONFESSION. BUT JUST THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR EVERYONE. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, SOUSUKE LOVES RIN AND WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE WITH RIN, BY HIS SIDE AND RIN NEEDS SOUSUKE MORE THAN ANYTHING. THEY’RE CANON
