Christian McCaffrey Carries The Equipment For His More Seasoned Mates. He Will Prove a Phenomenal Acquisition For The Panthers This Season On The Grid Iron.
Rookies is getting a stage play with a limited run through November only! It looks like it’s going to cover up to the game with Yoga Daiichi. The official site has some pictures up now, and the official twitter has been posting bigger pictures of the cast. It looks like a pretty small production, so I don’t know if video will ever be available.
The main thing I’ve noticed so far is that Yufune and Hiratsuka, who were both changed a lot for the dorama, are back to the their manga designs–or Yufune is, at least; I guess Hiratsuka’s actor didn’t want to shave his beard for a role that’s only gonna last a month. Fair enough.
So I’ve been thinking about this scene right here:
I always found it odd that Rex would mention Hevy in that list despite only knowing him for such a short amount of time. Especially when you think of Hardcase who we know has fought beside him for a long time or Tup who died right before Fives. That is until I remembered what happened in the episode Rookies when Rex goes:
And later in the episode we see this:
And then it shows Rex leaving first because “I’m always first.”
And we all know how that episode ends.
Now move ahead to Plan of Dissent and what do we see?
Rex is in the back. He probably blamed himself for Hevy’s death and felt guilty for being the first one out not even realizing Hevy wasn’t with them. He was the one to give Hevy the job to fix the remote. He never stopped to check if Hevy was behind them until it was to late. He mentions Hevy because he was probably Rex’s biggest regret. He was a shiny who just saw real combat for the first time. Rex probably spent nights lying awake thinking of how Hevy’s death could have been avoided. Of what he could have done different. It’s something he probably never lets himself forget.
