I've come back to this drama CD after a long time and wow, you can really see the depth of the dynamic between Nijimura and Akashi here. It wasn't simply a formal relationship between captain and vice captain, Nijimura literally kept Akashi grounded. Because for the entire manga/anime, Akashi is always treated as this godly figure/final boss that everyone is afraid of, but out of all of the players both past and present, Nijimura is the only one who doesn't fear or is unnerved by Akashi in some way. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Rather than regarding Akashi as someone who is high on a pedestal and inaccessible, Nijimura always treated him like a regular middle school kid. Because that's what he was. Yes, Akashi's slightly out of touch because his wealthy background meant he didn't partake in things like buying snacks at a convenience store and playing arcade games with friends (even more so because his father always gave him extra work to do at home), but rather than shame him for it, Nijimura takes the initiative to include him in these activities and spend time with him after school. I'd like to think that these memories of going to the convenience store with Nijimura probably meant more to Akashi than Nijimura knows. It's just a shame we didn't see more of this type of thing in the main story. The way that these drama CDs humanized Akashi would've gone a long way in people understanding his character more.
Nijimura was basically the one who kept the whole GoM grounded if we're honest. I doubt the last year in middle school would have been the same if he was still here. He would have beaten everyone up (minus Kuroko) if he saw their behaviour.
@hpthfiction I like to think that, but Sanada really started a chain reaction with telling Aomine he didn't have to come to practice, and by that time, Nijimura had long graduated so who knows.
@@daezyagbakoba6694True so who knows how it would have been in the end. But considering for the little time Nijimura was on screen and with this drama CD, he became one of my favorites, he really deserved far more credits.
I was moved by how relatable Nijimura was to Haizaki's position. Behind his very firm attitude, it turns out he is a senior/senpai who understands Haizaki's feeling even though Haizaki covers up that side of him 😢🫠 (well he's really tsundere boy😅)

青峰のこといいやつって言ってる荻原くんがあんな出会い方するのほんと辛
原作では黄瀬が一軍に入った瞬間、灰崎の居場所はなくなった。赤司が主将になりまず最初に遂行したこと。灰崎の退部に虹村さんは何も出来なかった事を悔やんでいたとは思うけど、ポジションが黄瀬と同じで灰崎より黄瀬の成長速度が早くて上手くなっていく姿を見たら納得しざるを得なかったんだろうな。赤司のやり方と虹村さんのやり方は違うけど、虹村さんほど自分の後輩のことを大事に育て上げた人はいないだろうな。そして赤司が唯一尊敬し慕う歳上も虹村さんだけだね。ラスゲの原作では赤司との連絡の取り合いもしてたみたいだし(但し僕司くんの時は不明だけど)
まだ黄瀬くんが入る前、キセキがキセキではなかった頃のお話。
キセキが唯一恐れる、そして慕う先輩。
それが虹村さん。
キセキを従えていたのは虹村さん。
虹村さんがずっといればキセキはあんな壊れ方をしなかった…と今でも思う。
虹村さんがずっといたら多分あんな風にはならなかったよね、
私もずっと思ってた
虹村さんは赤司とも対等な立場で話してるし、問題児の灰崎でも虹村さんの言う事ちゃんと聞いてて、青峰が悩んでる時だって声掛けたりして、本当にいい先輩だなって思った。
だからって言って黒子たちと同じ年代だったらなとは思わないけど、
虹村さんが帝光のお母さん的存在っていうのが凄く好き

Well said!!
虹村なんだかんだ、
灰崎のこと好きなんだろね。
It's nice to see more interactions between Akashi and Kuroko once in a while
