I read sth on twitter about Haru trying to give Rin a protection charm (the railroad crossing when they were small). Is there really sth like that in the novel? I don't remember that happening in any of the anime.

Hmm, it’s been a minute since I watched that scene, but I don’t really remember that. Does it sound familiar to anyone else? Clearly a rewatch is in order 👀

SHIT THATS SO SWEET.

I don’t recall that being in the HS2 novel so either I’m misremembering (it’s been a hot minute) or that was added exclusively for the movie and I just 🥺🥺🥺

This lovely person on twitter noticed in Free! The Final Stroke Part 2 that when Haru and Rin are practicing on their own, in their separate training sites, the flags at the pool are white + their respective image colors (blue for Haru and red for Rin), but after they reunite at the night pool and start training together, the flags share both of their colors ;;;;;;;

“Indeed; [being a professional swimmer] is a path Haruka never would have chosen on his own. But despite claims that he doesn’t care about winning or losing or scoring certain times, he’s always been attentive to Rin’s presence. So I believe there were signs, deep down, that he would choose this path for his future.”

— Utsumi Hiroko, Spoon, reminding people who think it was ~~~soooo OOC and UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!~~~ for Haru to choose professional swimming that we saw it coming from day one you idiots.

"So when I first read the script, I was kind of taken aback by the way that Rin got dragged down whenever Haruka did, getting in a total funk. But Haruka and Rin share a common destiny, right? So when one stumbles, the other does too. I was both moved and excited by their exchange in the night pool."
