Memory 3: What Wasn't Seen

Pages: 01 02 03 04

Offscreen context for this memory! Gokudera has been training alone and blowing himself up a lot in the process. He's doing this because Shamal wouldn't teach him because he is TOO DUMB TO LIVE. This memory is basically him realizing that.

Specific things he learned:
+I LIKE DOCTOR SHAMAL
+Sort of though. He's kind of a dick/weirdo.
+Doctor Shamal is going to teach me ;o;
+Seriously what is with me and this Tenth kid
+Self destructive tendencies aren't cool :(
+There is some kind of fight he's training for

What it does!

Honestly not too much. The bulk of his self-destructive tendencies in canon come from years and years of rejection issues leaving him with an obsessive need to prove himself worthy at all times forever. He throws himself into the path of danger any time he thinks it will somehow protect or benefit Tsuna, whether directly or indirectly, because that's how he can feel like he's useful and prove that he is an important, valuable member of the family.

Buuuut he doesn't really have that problem in Aather. :|a The recent game aside, there's been zero reason to do stupidly dangerous shit to prove he's worthwhile to have around. And he did just make himself useful in that game anyway; protecting Jacuzzi and stepping into a leader-ish role to get the second decision made.

That said, all versions of Gokudera are still prone to stupid things for the hell of it sometimes. (See: tiny!Dera in the memory bragging about making a bunch of gangsters misfire their guns :Db) This memory will really just make him think twice about doing shit like that without making sure he can actually handle it.
