A lot of the anime is very much built on the motif of imitation. Reki has a large family. His father is a typical Japanese parent who works hard and hardly sees his son. So Reki makes his friend his role model.

Was feeling sentimental and was looking through my old art photos and found this one I did a long time ago of genderbent Reki from Sk8! I found it really pretty, which is something I don’t say a lot about my art for I don’t feel that way about most

And all of these are just pieces of the puzzle called Reki's personality. As he said himself, 'Anyway, just look and you'll see!'

All this time, the only female members of the female gender that Reki interacts with are his mom, sisters, and grandma. Reki really doesn't want to be popular with girls.

Also, Reki and Kumatani have a very similar way of sitting in the presence of guys they're very partial to. 😁

Seeing Langa for the second time in his life, the shy and rather withdrawn Reki is the first to offer him a chat. He then interacts with Langa for 3 months in a manner that strongly resembles a very well-mannered courtship.

In this thread, I'll try to break down the main motivations and meanings of Reki's actions in the past and present. It starts here.

In the real one, Reki only wears a wristband, headband, and blue sneakers all the time because it has a special meaning to him.

Ryouta also hails from Okinawa and was in the shadow of his older brother, an exceptional talent.

Reki is an accomplished and skillful athlete. And his red wristband is not only a reminder of his personal drama. But also a reference to Ryouta Miyagi from The First Slam Dunk.

In the ED song, which is sung on Reki's behalf, Reki, translated by Kudouusagi, promises Langa, 'I'll be your strength.' And he is indeed strong. He's not inferior to Langa in any way.

In the ep. 1, even before Langa appears, we are shown Reki's interest in tall, handsome guys. His room is covered with posters of muscular skateboarders. Reki even collects clippings of them in a scrapbook.

Reki very often underestimates himself. This flaw of his was taken advantage of in the official translation to make him a support for Langa. Here, Reki handles the skateboard insecurely because he's injured and/or severely depressed/desperate.

And here, Reki skates when he's happy and inspired. How is his abilities fundamentally different from what he shows Langa in ep. 2? Other than the fact that in those videos and photos, Reki isn't wearing a wristband.

Pay attention! Already on Reki's first skateboard, sun is looking at someone with a loving gaze, but his mouth is firmly shut. Who is the secretive sun looking at? I'll write about it in a new thread.
