They Call Me Basketball

Yukari muses over the faults of her father, and the betrayal she feels. How her years of using this power to both find and prove his disappearance wasn't for naught or worse, ended up neutralizing under the truth that he caused his own dismay and havock, worthy of the words spoken of him. Yet as she speaks, she doesn't just bemoan about her efforts, but her time with everyone else. Yukari's time, spent with everyone, turning out to be for naught, because of who her father is. Yet Makoto chimes in as an outsider, speaking his own perspective and the only thing he can bring to the conversation, is his perspective on the time spent with everyone on his side, being the most fun he's had in what might be his whole life. From my perspective, Yukari's never thought of SEES this way, and she undoubtedly is grateful for the opportunity of being brought in, which makes her in dept to them, in a way, given how she treats leaning for support against others as a weakness. But Makoto's speech of his time with SEES is completely subjective, and dare I say, selfish, which strangely, doesn't bother Yukari. In fact, it gets her to think about it. We don't get to hear her thoughts, but it's the With Others part that she's stuck by. Perhaps thinking how all she did to prove justice to her father made her a bit one track minded to things, so when that track gets derailed, she never realized the metals and wheels, the scenery and weather that kept her going. Makoto, on the other hand, never experienced betrayal at this stage of his life. Hell, he's never experienced purpose. What he foils with Yukari is what they both strive in life, with what they end up learning being the same thing. While Yukari strives for justice, proving she's someone who can stand for herself and her father, Makoto never strived for anything, thus made the whole 'don't come with us if you don't want to' ordeal in the first movie so potent to Makoto's character and his friendship with Yukari. Yukari on the other hand, experiences betrayal, one that would've kept her in a loop of 'everyone belittled me and everything was for nothing', but Makoto's insight gave her a different line of thought, 'what did values did you experience along the way'. The reason Yukari and Makoto work so well is because they started as complete opposites, and yet made the effort to get each other off of their stuck-in mindset.
