Re: Team Korea!

[lacygrey]

He gets a rough deal from Touya in canon but its kind of difficult to feel sorry for him there as he can be pretty stuck up and miserable to others.

What I like here is that, in the spirit of the manga, he's got some motivation out of the situation that will drive him forward also.

Its easy to forget that Ochi was making meteoric progress at the time when Hikaru first became an insei.

[raikushi]

lol you do not sound like an Ochi fan. XD I am his secret fangirl because I can totally relate to being stuck as a side character in a main character's story lol. Even though yeeeah he is a bit of a prick. *waves little Ochi flag*


Thankies for always leaving comments on da drabbles! <3

Re: Team Korea!

So is Ochi really the miserable sod he appears!?
I could never work out whether he was deliberately trying to destablise Isumi during the pro exam or not, its rather vague. His jealously of Hikaru is understandable, but Isumi? Ochi is like twelve and Isumi is eighteen so it seems pretty unlikely to me that he'd try to play mind games. Whatever's going on though its enough to get Isumi worried.
