Anzu | Chapter 45
The Shadow wasn't entirely sure what to feel about the girl known as Anzu Mazaki.
She was a kind girl and stuck up for Yuugi when able, something he always admired and appreciated. However, the Shadow turned his eyes on the girl as she ecstatically led him around this...(he took a moment to search Yuugi's memories) amusement park. Her recent actions had not put her in the best of lights.
He had seen (or rather sensed) what she had done, and he was not impressed with it. The Shadow dearly hoped she had a good reason as to purposely cause distress for Yuugi as she had because goodness knows the state of Yuugi's emotions and mind if serious danger fell upon the girl. After the game was over and the bomber was apprehended by the police, he had more or less expected the girl to realize her actions were foolish.
What he instead got was the girl eagerly dragging him (in the body that belonged to Yuugi at that!) around the park with such an enthusiasm that he didn't quite remember earlier. It was not until after the ordeal was over did the Shadow get a chance to chastise the girl about her actions. Anzu had the deceny to look reproached, but her words in her defense left him stumped.
"I just thought you'd like to hang out, Yuugi."
Her words were a little hard to process. Even now as he paced his mockery of a bedroom while Yuugi, now back in control, walked home, he could not figure out why she felt that she needed to do something so dangerous in order to "hang out". He breathed out through his noise, creating a stiff sound.
If this was some sort of fun pastime that teenagers of this time like to engage him, he dearly hoped Yuugi would refrain himself.
Anzu's a character I have some issues with. I enjoy her friendships with all the characters and I enjoy how she helps bring them up, but I really like how Yuugi's description of her in the very first chapter hit the nail on the head. A kind, though hard-headed girl.
I think her character peaks too early in the Season 0 portion of the manga - that's where some of her best moments come from in my opinion, though it also comes with some of her worst moments as well. This chapter in particular wasn't exactly a shining example of her decision making skills. The rest of the story, it feels like she's interrupting the narrative in some portions. Other times, I feel like Takahashi-sensei stuck her in just because she's the token "love-interest chick" or the "girl of the group".
Ultimately, I would think that Yami finds her behavior strange and leaves this be as long as she doesn't do it again in the future (which she doesn't, thank goodness).
