Every time I think about it I can't hold back the tears He was so young, but so scarred and traumatized... He didn't even have a chance to live his youth normally Find out that life can be wonderful And he deserved it all so much After all the things that happened Hahahah I can't handle
Basement the thing is.. he had this deep desire in him to live a ‘ normal happy ‘ life. It clearly came out when he saw the ticket. He was chasing it but then suddenly got stabbed. It’s like the universe told him he doesn’t deserve this happiness so he gave up. God i am crying again :,)
I was crying but once the lady said “must be a nice dream” I JUST STARTED FULL ON BALLING AND LIKE SCREAMING BROOOOOO HE DID NOT DESREVE THIS AT ALLLLLLLLL
The thing is, he did deserve it. He may have been a good person but karma caught up to him. He killed countless people it was bound to happen sooner or later, Ash knew this. I think he was at peace with how his life ended.

For those who doesn’t know what happened to eiji after ash’s death, in the manga they didn’t show eijis reaction but they show that seven years later eiji moved to NY , he NEVER talked about that day for many years and he became so quiet cuz what is he been through until some day he was walking w sing and they saw someone who looks exactly like ash from the behind and he quickly run to the guy hoping that what he saw is real and there’s some miracle but unfortunately he was not ash ... then eiji talked for the first time about that day and said to sing : "i shouldn’t give u that letter to deliver it , I should go by myself even if i have to crawl on my hands and knees and I just focused on hating lao and ignoring your pain it was the only way I could live with myself and I’ll never forget ash and im just grateful and proud that i got to spend at least a short while in the company of that brilliant miraculous life force and i could never replace ash in my life " , then eiji went to his room and got his shit together and opened his photos album for the first time in seven years after that horrible day to see pictures of Ash, then he started to look at them and began crying hard alone in his room as he remembered their memories together and the funny pictures that eiji had taken for him , eiji has a photo gallery and he puts the photos he took like nature and stuff and there’s a big photo of ash and he named the pic " DAWN " according to aslan , then sing told everything to akira ibe (the niece of Shunichi Ibe) and explain to her why they named her aslan too and sing start crying whiles he looking at ash’s pic -- NOTE : Ash and Eiji's relationship is asexual, according to Yoshida, "Ash and Eiji never had sex because Ash was raped many times and had grown tired of sex, though Eiji is fine with this." However, the author has since confirmed that they would've had a sexual relationship eventually if Ash had lived. in the end all we wanna say is that we missed u ash and we know that you’ll meet eiji in heaven and don’t worry guys eiji said in manga that he is not that bad and he became better and better any way we love you ash and we hope that some day we found u at the library reading in silence w eiji sa yo na ra ash , our soul is with you ♡ - bananafish fandom
I mean I read garden of light but I saw this comment now and I'm just breaking right now .... why do I always come back to these comments or videos it's just making me sad 😢😢😢😟😭😭😭 I'm really crying right now and it's 02.35 am in my country right now
he has been too good all his life, and always put others first. please let him be selfish just this once. he just wants to have a peaceful life. i'm not crying y'all🤚🏻😔 i'm not..
For me, the thing that hurt the most wasn't the fact that Ash died, but it was the fact that Eiji had no idea that Ash was actually running to the airport to go with him. Eiji had no idea and just assumed that Ash chose not to go because it was the best for both of them. It at least would've been less heartbreaking if they actually had a proper goodbye. Heck, their hands didn't even touch during the hospital scene. Edit: And plus Eiji wasn't even able to see Ash's face one last time cause of the medication!

Honestly he’s survived many shots, and I can see a lot of people asking “how did he die from a stab?” I think it’s because Ash chose to let go, this boy has been through so much shit and honestly he deserves better, he deserves to be somewhere where there is no violence, no torture..just peace. I will never really find a way to accept the fact that he’s gone, but honestly yes, he could’ve asked for help, could’ve figured a way to stop the bleeding (save himself) but honestly he chose not to for the better, so that Eiji could also live his life in peace.

Sasuke Uchiha he stayed in the library for 6 hours bleeding to death. He died with a smile because he was happy that eiji loved him, he chose to die to keep eiji safe. He didn’t want to bring him into his world
I’m crying so much I just finished watching Banana Fish and I thought he was sleeping so I just cried because he didn’t go to Japan with Eiji but then I searched up if died and it says that he did so now I’m having a mental break down omg my heart is hurting so much

the fact that ash never had a peaceful sleep in all those years then when he died by knowing someone loved him he went so peacefully and happy😭 i started sobbing so bad when the lady said must be a nice dream.. poor baby deserved sm better
You’re so damn right!! 😭 He deserved/deserves SO much better!! WHy am I even reading the comments here I Just start crying more and more on every comment. WHYYYYY???!!!!!! He was such a good, loyal, lovely, honest, strong and mistreated young boy!!!!!! WHYYYYYY???!!!!!😭😭😭
I literally was depressed for like a week after finishing this anime. But rewatching it I think I actually really appreciate the ending. It’s moving and really cements in how Eiji was able to save Ash, or at least his soul. He made him vulnerable and ultimately caused him to die but it was Ash going down the path of happiness and love rather than solitude and coldness. His death is heartwrenching, but at the same time it is warm. He finally found love and was able to escape the cruelty of his past...
@@morichavez9304 Heh, it's been 3 month. And I still can't forget that Anime... Literally, I still haven't started another one because of this.. It maked me feel so sad.. Even if I discovered that in the anime Ash is Alive.
I’m glad what Eiji wrote to Ash in the letter was that he’ll always be with him in spirit. My guess is that Ash found comfort choosing to die that they’ll always be together maybe not physically but that they’re connected through their care for each other . Perhaps that gave him the solace to succumb to death . He always knew they lived in different worlds and maybe the stab brought him to remember that . Maybe he thought that’s what was best for Eiji to be away from Ash’s world of gangsters and bloodshed , and so being separated would’ve been painful for Ash and being by Eiji’s side would’ve brought trouble for Eiji. So he yielded to death thinking it was for the best . He embraced death peacefully, thinking about Eiji . I’m not happy with the ways things turned out , but I find comfort that he chose to die in the library where he would always go to get his mind cleared. It’s saddening, but maybe he finally felt at peace in the one place he felt comfortable , reading in the end the love and care expressed by the only person he cared about .
I was so mad when he died i was like " dude you got shot, Stabbed, strangled and your gonna die from that." But now i know it was because he was happy and content that eiji was safe and that he did all he needed to do but let me tell you when she said " must be a nice dream" i was dead my emotions no longer existed i knew nothing but pain. When i try to explain it to people i can't in other words this anime/ manga was so beautifully written it left me breathless. I still cry and all i have to say is that it was beauty it was tragedy but it was worth all the tears. Please watch it
lady: must be a nice dream, ash´s dream: he got to hold eiji one last time but thankfully ash woke up to see eiji again and the got to sit in the library and read together
After Ash finished reading the letter from Eiji, he started running to the airport to live with him in Japan. After he got stabbed he took that as a sign that Eiji is better off without him and he went to the library as a place to rest. He felt that he wasnt good enough.
Ash didn't die. Not in the anime anyway. There's alot of proof to back this. The tree of characters highlighted him as alive. The second op had him walking in the same clothes he got stabbed in later in the day after it started snowing in the last episode..... HOLDING his side in pain. And there's a picture of him and eiji standing next to a fake lady liberty in Japan. Also, Ash is one tough son of a fuck. If that fuckin colonel can take a power drill to the stomach and live with some semblance of strength until Dino had to shoot him. Soo...... Yeah nah I think homies definitely alive. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. They left the ending open for a reason. Along with the fact that that none of the cast or people making this wanted him to die. I don't do a good job explaining it. This guy does. ruclips.net/video/O4K7zu1YRxo/видео.html
they can always continue the anime with ash alive, it just wouldn’t be canon. for example, season 2 of Tokyo ghoul wasn’t canon at all. but I definitely am doubting if we’re getting a season 2
@@witchoftheend Imagine not being able to comprehend the original comment and then insult the person who made the original comment, all because you didn't understand what they were saying. Lots of anime go a different route than the manga Tokyo Ghoul being a great example of that.
He honestly had the shittiest life and he did not deserve anything that he went through But I’m so happy he met Eiji and Eiji gave him a small ounce of happiness. Ash really deserved the best of the best. I just finished the show and I don’t think I’m going to recover soon.
@@desiharrison2584 If you want the manga ending, look up the epilogues, especially Garden of Light (chapter 19 part 3 on most websites), but the anime ending is completely open
I finally need to think that he's finally free. His past was a disaster Shorter, Griffin, and Skipper is waiting for him, he's finally free from everyone else.
Listen to me It's CONFIRMED in the OFFICIAL website of banana fish that Ash freaking Lynx is NOT freaking DEAD. U HEAR ME?? HES NOT DEAD AND ITS CONFIRMED, PERIOD. Don't be sad he's alive and healthy, in fact, ash and eiji have their own coffee shop in Japan. Remember, manga and anime are two different things. You'll have a good day, my friend. I promise ;) (Oh and if u can, spread this message)
I can't stop crying, this anime made me depressed in 2018, and It made me depressed once again. I never recovered from the last time I watched it. It's painful.
*Honestly I thought he was asleep as well, and I wanted to think of it like that. But then people started saying that that’s how he died. So at this point I’m very unsure...idk what to believe now*
It's okay y'all, I'm still alive in Eiji heart. I wanted to go just to save Eiji so he'll be safe and sound in Japan ❤️ Btw this is not my original channel
I don´t know why but right now this really helped me.🥺 I just can’t stop crying! I´m reading all these comments and it just hurts so much and I don’t know why?!😭 Like it’s just a fictional story... but I can’t stop thinking about it!!😭
The fact that he had gone through so many battles both mentally and physically and in the end can't even have a peaceful and happy life with his Eiji. My poor baby He deserves better!!! TToTT
did you notice that eiji only cried every time it's something about ash? he did not shed a tear when everything was scary and frightening or was frustrated at all. he cried just because of ash. oh my god I'm breaking
We're just going to say Ash was taking a nap then went to the hospital and after that he moved to Japan with Eiji and they had a perfect life they lived happily ever after🙂💔because I'm not going to let my self cry every time I see or hear anything related to banana fish
Okay but like ash cannot die! He was shot and stabbed but still was alive. I think he just felt dizzy and slept because of blood loss? (Idk too much loss of blood?) And if u look at the second opening of the show, you'll see that ash is walking in snow with same clothes holding his stomach right where he was stabbed. He must have woken up and probably went to a hospital. He probably didn't call 911 because he was dead to the public🤷🏻♀️. Even tho he does die in the manga, I really do hope he is still alive in the anime 😔
He died it was confirmed in the manga he stayed in that seat for six hrs because he was happy that eiji loved him so in order to protect him he gave everything up and was content with dying
I think he is supposed to still be alive in the anime. On the official website his picture is still in color, whereas those of the dead people are gray. Maybe they decided to leave him alive in the anime because everyone hated how the manga ended. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/O4K7zu1YRxo/видео.html, it describes it really well. And cured my post-Banana Fish depression. :)
i got curious since some clips kept poppin up on le recommendations. Even though i literally havent seen the anime nor read the manga- dood i cried, he died with a freakin smile ❤️ ;-;) I dont even want to watch it anymore cause it’ll probably weigh me down even more huhuhu
Just the “Eiji” section of a letter max wrote to ash ten years he ... passed "Eij... his childishness is completely gone. He became filled with sorrow, becoming incredibly quiet and calm, living like an abstinent monk. He went for two years without training, so he wasn't ever able to go back to pole vaulting. However, he was able to get permanent residence in the US and is living in New York. He's a highly regarded photographer now, and all of the photos used in this book were his work. The photos of "Eiji Okumura" are said to be sad, nostalgic and have a unique feeling to them. But I know what it is. It's you, Ash. He is always waiting for you to suddenly appear in front of him. His line of sight will always be waiting forever for you."
Not part of the fandom. Never watched it or read it, but I bowled my eyes out. I cam here coz I saw a tiktok about his death, but I didnt want it to be true. My heart hurts. I know this is fictional, but it still hurts. Losing someone you love is hard, always. Thank you author, you made so many people cry. Happy? Gosh I hope they loved each other and weren't just friends. He got so heartbroken, no way he saw him as just a friend. 00f
I'm saaaaaad "But i not going to say sa-yo-na-ra to you, Ash" OH MY GOSH! I'm crying here! I FINISHED AND WENT TO SEARCH ABOUT BANANA FISH AND I'M REVIEWING THIS SCENE! I'm crying here (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
it’s so sad how eiji never got the chance to say goodbye to ash and ash sat in eiji’s seat as he bled out reading the same words over and over again “my soul is always with you” wink probably got back to japan and found out ash died.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺😭🥺🥺🥺😖😖
just imagine eiji finding out ash is dead when he came back. i really like to torture myself
This is what I am always thinking about. Like he comes back to Japan and the first thing he gets to know is that Ash died.

It’s moving and really cements in how Eiji was able to save Ash, or at least his soul. He made him vulnerable and ultimately caused him to die but it was Ash going down the path of happiness and love rather than solitude and coldness. His death is heartwrenching, but at the same time it is warm. He finally found love and was able to escape the cruelty of his past...
If only she'd called the ambulance!!!!!!!
can u tell me the title of the background music plss
But nooo, she was like, “Oh, he’s sleeping 👍🏻” Why can’t she wake him up because it’s a library rule?
@@unicorn69 because he looks so beautiful while sleeping, the woman assume that he had a wonderful dream :)
I finished the anime yesterday... I don't think I've ever felt that depressed..
•Yuri- Chan• I just finished it today 😔
@@morichavez9304 Heh, it's been 3 month. And I still can't forget that Anime... Literally, I still haven't started another one because of this.. It maked me feel so sad.. Even if I discovered that in the anime Ash is Alive.
This anime honestly messed me up ngl
•Yuri- Chan• WHAT ASH IS ALIVE??? But for real man, thinking about it causes me physical pain :(
@@morichavez9304 YEAH BRO HE IS
WAİT ASH CAN'T BE DİE OR HE'S JUST SLEPPİNG YEA THİS İS A JOKE RİGHT?!?!? İT CAN'T BE REAL YEA THİS İS A JOKE !!!!
Ash is alive

Thank you thank you!!!
In the manga he's confirmed to be dead
I’m just distracted by the amount of dots pl ;-;
The worst part is, Eiji didn't know Ash was dead. He would be waiting for him, until he hears that Ash is dead.
fun fact: eiji has a spare room for ash just in case he ever comes to japan.
Me on episode 2: *searches up banana fish*
This: *one of the first results that pops up*
Me: *confused screaming*
yea don't do that, and especially not for JoJo either
@@kylin3197 ok ty for the advice lol I think I've learnt my lesson 😩✌️

1:30 HOW DIDNT U RECOGNIZE THE BLOOD YOU FOOL..um
THAT STUPID BITCH COULD SAVE HIM !!!
Christ this is depressing
@@ladypineda7465 that bitch was just like damn he asleep, no wait it is fine he is just asleep...
BROOOO I KNOW RIGHTTTT. THATTT KAREEENNNN SUCCKKKS, HONESTLY.
WE BE COMING FOR HER
I like to think that ash finally learned to fly 🥰🕊
🥺
stop this hurts even more
@@jel7338 Yes that’s not fair! 😭😭
no no no no no no NO
I’m glad what Eiji wrote to Ash in the letter was that he’ll always be with him in spirit. My guess is that Ash found comfort choosing to die that they’ll always be together maybe not physically but that they’re connected through their care for each other . Perhaps that gave him the solace to succumb to death . He always knew they lived in different worlds and maybe the stab brought him to remember that . Maybe he thought that’s what was best for Eiji to be away from Ash’s world of gangsters and bloodshed , and so being separated would’ve been painful for Ash and being by Eiji’s side would’ve brought trouble for Eiji. So he yielded to death thinking it was for the best . He embraced death peacefully, thinking about Eiji . I’m not happy with the ways things turned out , but I find comfort that he chose to die in the library where he would always go to get his mind cleared. It’s saddening, but maybe he finally felt at peace in the one place he felt comfortable , reading in the end the love and care expressed by the only person he cared about .
tbh who knows, maybe he fainted, someone realized it and he was taken care of in the hospital and ended up going in japan later
He’s dead, it’s confirmed in the manga😔
yeah he bled to death 😭😭😭😭
@@user-kd5gx4tv8u but its different in the anime tho
Dương Vũ yeah, but in the manga he’s dead. The anime’s ending is up for interpretation though! :)
@@user-kd5gx4tv8u do you think he could be alive?? i really wanna s3 omfg
I was so mad when he died i was like " dude you got shot, Stabbed, strangled and your gonna die from that." But now i know it was because he was happy and content that eiji was safe and that he did all he needed to do but let me tell you when she said " must be a nice dream" i was dead my emotions no longer existed i knew nothing but pain. When i try to explain it to people i can't in other words this anime/ manga was so beautifully written it left me breathless. I still cry and all i have to say is that it was beauty it was tragedy but it was worth all the tears.
Please watch it
He's just sleeping he's just sleeping he's just sleeping he's just sleeping-
can u tell me the title of the background music plss
Plot twist! All the fans call the ambulance and saved ash and kept saving him throughout his whole journey 😭😭😭😭
Finally he can be at ease without the nightmares.
"but im not gonna say say-o-nara to you ash because i know we'll meet again no matter how far apart we are"
Even in heaven they will see each other again... this is the longest distance but they will meet again!!😭😭
I'm laughing and criying.
Criying: because ash is death
Laughing: because the people
WTF IS THIS FEELING HAHAHAH ...WÄHH..AHAH..WÄÄ HAHA XD
lol I thought I was evil for laughing while they cried haha
even me i was laughing 😂💔
SAME OMG LOL
It’s 6:48 in the morning and I’m sobbing so bad right now and I haven’t even watched the anime like that
Taylor Jones literally same but it’s 7:37 in the morning
Same but it’t 6:06 and i have online class in 2 hours send help
Suzy Yon wait you actually go to class? lmao I haven’t been in class for like 3 weeks
Suzy Yon ME TOO girl
same it's 8am here :((
lady: must be a nice dream,
ash´s dream: he got to hold eiji one last time
but thankfully ash woke up to see eiji again and the got to sit in the library and read together
STOP 😭😭
真面目に見たあと1時間ずっと泣いてた😭
私も二つの魂の悲しい物語
After Ash finished reading the letter from Eiji, he started running to the airport to live with him in Japan. After he got stabbed he took that as a sign that Eiji is better off without him and he went to the library as a place to rest. He felt that he wasnt good enough.
Ash didn't die. Not in the anime anyway. There's alot of proof to back this. The tree of characters highlighted him as alive. The second op had him walking in the same clothes he got stabbed in later in the day after it started snowing in the last episode..... HOLDING his side in pain. And there's a picture of him and eiji standing next to a fake lady liberty in Japan. Also, Ash is one tough son of a fuck. If that fuckin colonel can take a power drill to the stomach and live with some semblance of strength until Dino had to shoot him. Soo...... Yeah nah I think homies definitely alive. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. They left the ending open for a reason. Along with the fact that that none of the cast or people making this wanted him to die. I don't do a good job explaining it. This guy does. ruclips.net/video/O4K7zu1YRxo/видео.html
Read the manga you fool
@@witchoftheend They literally said that they were referring to the anime buddy
It's different. In this scene he accepted that a rabbit and a lynx can't live together and dies peacefully
they can always continue the anime with ash alive, it just wouldn’t be canon. for example, season 2 of Tokyo ghoul wasn’t canon at all. but I definitely am doubting if we’re getting a season 2
@@witchoftheend
Imagine not being able to comprehend the original comment and then insult the person who made the original comment, all because you didn't understand what they were saying. Lots of anime go a different route than the manga Tokyo Ghoul being a great example of that.
“My soul is always with you” THAT HURT ME
SAMEEEE
why couldn’t he be happy. why couldn’t he be happy. why could’ve he be happy.
Nande nande nande nande
I haven’t even recovered from shooters death😭

This is totally me at the final
PLEASE DONT DIE. IM CRYING SO HARD HERE! PLS U AND EIJI HAVENT KISS YET!
Yes they have
I think they mean in a sentimental way
IM SO FRUSTRATED
@@xox_millie_xox679 But not bc they REALLY wanted to kiss

is the song in the beginning if anybody is wondering.

Thankkkkk uuuu 😭💙
Y2GEZBYWGESBUWGSZNQUWYZN8UQWZ OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU KSJSNSDI
Thank Youuu, but I can't find the English version 😢
Yeeeeeeeee BROOOOOOO THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!
He honestly had the shittiest life and he did not deserve anything that he went through But I’m so happy he met Eiji and Eiji gave him a small ounce of happiness. Ash really deserved the best of the best. I just finished the show and I don’t think I’m going to recover soon.
I finished this anime 1 hour ago and I'm in a huge depressive state, and there are endless tears, gosh, this anime has ripped me apart
The tears just won’t stop 😪 never cried dis much over an anime
the "must be a nice dream" adds so much to the scene
Just so you guys know, in the anime the author canonly made it an open ending, for you to decide whether he died or not. :)) 💓
Where I can I find it? Or hear about it more?
@@desiharrison2584 If you want the manga ending, look up the epilogues, especially Garden of Light (chapter 19 part 3 on most websites), but the anime ending is completely open
I finally need to think that he's finally free. His past was a disaster Shorter, Griffin, and Skipper is waiting for him, he's finally free from everyone else.
Listen to me
It's CONFIRMED in the OFFICIAL website of banana fish that Ash freaking Lynx is NOT freaking DEAD. U HEAR ME?? HES NOT DEAD AND ITS CONFIRMED, PERIOD. Don't be sad he's alive and healthy, in fact, ash and eiji have their own coffee shop in Japan. Remember, manga and anime are two different things.
You'll have a good day, my friend. I promise ;)
(Oh and if u can, spread this message)
I saw that too but the „garden of light“... it just hurts so much!🥺😭
lol, I wanted to rewatch the ending for the feels, but I laughed so hard when the fake crying started
Ash!! I grown to love him 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm heartbroken😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔
I can't stop crying, this anime made me depressed in 2018, and It made me depressed once again. I never recovered from the last time I watched it. It's painful.
The fact that he died in the chair Eiji sat in... is... 😭
Btw: my current pfp is 28 year old Eiji and he is wearing Ash's glasses 😭❤️
Whyyyy the Author is so sly dammit why did do that to us??
😭😭
Why did he die?
@@floweriejoy Thanks for the recommendation, I will read it :)
I've watched it 3 months ago and I'm still crying, this is my fav anime but my heart is broken tho-
“My soul will always be with you”
*Honestly I thought he was asleep as well, and I wanted to think of it like that. But then people started saying that that’s how he died. So at this point I’m very unsure...idk what to believe now*
read the manga “garden of light” :,))))
I need sleep- I will thanks :)
In manga he died cause of sickness. But either of the both, it still hurt and it feels suck
he's just taking a nap, chill you guys.
It's okay y'all, I'm still alive in Eiji heart. I wanted to go just to save Eiji so he'll be safe and sound in Japan ❤️
Btw this is not my original channel
I don´t know why but right now this really helped me.🥺 I just can’t stop crying! I´m reading all these comments and it just hurts so much and I don’t know why?!😭 Like it’s just a fictional story... but I can’t stop thinking about it!!😭
@@loverboyyyyyyy don't be sad anymore! I'm okay 💛
@@ashlynx953 Thank you so much! That’s good to hear🥺🥺
The fact that he had gone through so many battles both mentally and physically and in the end can't even have a peaceful and happy life with his Eiji. My poor baby He deserves better!!! TToTT
You do not understand the pain of finishing the show, and having to find out days later that he DIED through a god dang fanwiki article
HES JUST OUT OF ENERGY HELL BE UP SOON
The thing that hurt me more than his death is Eiji saying
“I’m not saying Sayonara to you Ash, cause i know I’ll see you again”
😭
did you notice that eiji only cried every time it's something about ash? he did not shed a tear when everything was scary and frightening or was frustrated at all. he cried just because of ash. oh my god I'm breaking
We're just going to say Ash was taking a nap then went to the hospital and after that he moved to Japan with Eiji and they had a perfect life they lived happily ever after🙂💔because I'm not going to let my self cry every time I see or hear anything related to banana fish
NOOOO ASH NOOOOO
2:29 😂😂😂😂
🤣😂💔
Okay but like ash cannot die! He was shot and stabbed but still was alive. I think he just felt dizzy and slept because of blood loss? (Idk too much loss of blood?) And if u look at the second opening of the show, you'll see that ash is walking in snow with same clothes holding his stomach right where he was stabbed. He must have woken up and probably went to a hospital. He probably didn't call 911 because he was dead to the public🤷🏻♀️. Even tho he does die in the manga, I really do hope he is still alive in the anime 😔
He died it was confirmed in the manga he stayed in that seat for six hrs because he was happy that eiji loved him so in order to protect him he gave everything up and was content with dying
@@jessbenjamin8027 😭😭😭😭😭 let's just please pretend 😭😭😭
lmao dead in both the manga and anime. rest in peace, ash.
I think he is supposed to still be alive in the anime. On the official website his picture is still in color, whereas those of the dead people are gray. Maybe they decided to leave him alive in the anime because everyone hated how the manga ended. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/O4K7zu1YRxo/видео.html, it describes it really well. And cured my post-Banana Fish depression. :)
@@hashirunowasuki wait so if theres a slight chance ash isnt dead there could be a s3???
The fact that he was too distracted by love that he didn’t see him coming toward him with a nice
ラオの決着がついてない時点で嫌な予感はしていたけれど、こんな悲しい結末だとは思わなかったです😭
うちもこんな感じに泣いたわもう
くっっそ泣いた
同じく。未だに立ち直れてない
I WAS LITTERALLY CRYING SOMEONE REVIVE THIS MAN
i got curious since some clips kept poppin up on le recommendations. Even though i literally havent seen the anime nor read the manga- dood i cried, he died with a freakin smile ❤️ ;-;) I dont even want to watch it anymore cause it’ll probably weigh me down even more huhuhu
Just the “Eiji” section of a letter max wrote to ash ten years he ... passed
"Eij... his childishness is completely gone. He became filled with sorrow, becoming incredibly quiet and calm, living like an abstinent monk. He went for two years without training, so he wasn't ever able to go back to pole vaulting. However, he was able to get permanent residence in the US and is living in New York. He's a highly regarded photographer now, and all of the photos used in this book were his work. The photos of "Eiji Okumura" are said to be sad, nostalgic and have a unique feeling to them. But I know what it is. It's you, Ash. He is always waiting for you to suddenly appear in front of him. His line of sight will always be waiting forever for you."
"I know we'll meet again no matter how far apart we are." Oml I cried so much just watching this scene after so years.
I NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE EPISODE OF BANANA FISH AND THIS IS MAKING ME SOB-
Idk why every single great anime has to offer a sad ending everytime I’m just so heartbroken
NOOOOoooOOOooOoOoOOoOooO i shouldn't have watched this i haven't even watched the whole bloody thing im only on episode 18...i always do this omfg
Have you watched it all now I'm trying to rewatch it and finding it difficult
Not part of the fandom. Never watched it or read it, but I bowled my eyes out. I cam here coz I saw a tiktok about his death, but I didnt want it to be true. My heart hurts. I know this is fictional, but it still hurts. Losing someone you love is hard, always.
Thank you author, you made so many people cry. Happy?
Gosh I hope they loved each other and weren't just friends. He got so heartbroken, no way he saw him as just a friend. 00f
"You might be sleeping, without a care...."
This is just some lyrics from my fav song, I just think it matched.
I'm saaaaaad "But i not going to say sa-yo-na-ra to you, Ash" OH MY GOSH! I'm crying here! I FINISHED AND WENT TO SEARCH ABOUT BANANA FISH AND I'M REVIEWING THIS SCENE! I'm crying here (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
legit every time i watch this scene it brings my to tears
he’s just taking a really really long nap. Eiji just has to come back to kiss him awake. Sleeping beauty style
Still cant believe he was just 17 he died so young ahhh my heart , he deserved much better 😔💗
Fans: He's just resting.
Author: In pieces, that man is dead.
Fans: He's so sleepy.
My pillow is drenched with my tears
Y’all it’s ok he’s just sleeping 😭
it’s so sad how eiji never got the chance to say goodbye to ash and ash sat in eiji’s seat as he bled out reading the same words over and over again “my soul is always with you” wink probably got back to japan and found out ash died.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺😭🥺🥺🥺😖😖
i mean the author said we can imagine two different endings, 1. he died and 2. he survived
there’s a head canon that eiji keeps a spare room in his house in japan just waiting for ash to come visit ..
“must be a nice dream” *leaves dead body there* oh my GOD😭😭😭😭😭
