Why Are There So Many Tags - Tumblr Posts

Furudate is a mf-ing genius at character design. I mean, putting the twins aside and literally everyone else, I'd like to turn everyone's attention to Kenma Kozume.

Okay, so as we all know, he's got some social anxiety. He's not the best with interaction and he's the definition of 'introvert'. And this manifests into physical characteristics in the form of his hair. Just like how Atsumu's got brassy bright yellow compared to a somewhat muted silver Osamu, hair plays an important part in defining who a person is. In this case, Kenma's hair serves as protection against the world. He literally states that he likes it long because it overwhelms him to have a greater viewpoint of everything (paraphrasing here, but yk what I mean)

However, after high school and into the timeskip, we see that Kenma still has his iconic hair.

But it's tied back. He's willingly opening up his view of everything, something he was absolutely not okay with in high school. He's *grown*.

Does that mean all his problems are gone? Does that mean he's completely a new person? No, we can clearly see that he hasn't gotten a buzzcut or chopped it super short. Kenma didn't become someone new. He just grew and learned and developed as he matured, just like his hair.

He's no longer afraid like he used to be, willing to face the world head-on to become the sugar daddy he was meant to be. I think that's pretty poetic.
