Now, Heinemann has updated his newest machine, the Phase 3, with the appearance of its predecessor. A generation ago, Heinemann designed the YF-23 with the hope that it would be the next line of TSFs. Now, he must make a choice: will he choose to rescue her, and stay by her side, even if it means being labeled a traitor to the United States? As Yuuya makes his choice, he launches out in the Shiranui Second Phase 3 – a machine that has been outfitted with the parts and technology of the YF-23 Black Widow II. And that was why he broke up with Sharon – because he was so driven to prove himself that he couldn’t accept that Sharon could love him as he already was.Īt the end of the story, Yuuya learns that Cryska has been left to die. That was why Leon despised him – because he always played at being the victim when he had actually received so many blessings that Leon had not.
He was, and always had been, a full-fledged American he was just too blinded by his own issues to see it.

And in a twist of fate, when the CIA cracked down on his flight, he was the one pilot given special treatment – because he was an American soldier, and that was good enough for them.
His teammates, though they despised his attitude, recognized his strength.
Far from thinking him a trouble soldier, his superiors in the army had great hope for him and had put him on the fast track. But there was never any need for him to do so.

Full of hatred for his own Japanese heritage, Yuuya was driven by the need to prove himself a good American. The change that had started on the inside has finally developed to the point where it is visible from the outside.Īs we head into the second half of the story, Yuuya begins to see how wrong he was about the people in his past. At the same time, the Shiranui Second changes its own appearance, becoming the much more advanced Phase 2. Upon his return to America, Yuuya has clearly changed. Though he originally finds Latrova as insulting and condescending as the other adults in his life, in the end he has finally matured enough to see beyond the surface for the first time and truly understand how much she has done for him. Then, during the mission in Russia, he begins to change himself. At the same time, in Argos Flight Yuuya has finally found a team that is always looking out for him and supporting him. Assigned to the Shiranui Second, Yuuya comes into conflict with Yui, who challenges his way of thinking. The Phase 1 is very simple – a Japanese machine on the outside, with American parts inside. Very early on, Yuuya makes the connection between himself and the Shiranui Second. Total Eclipse is the story of Yuuya’s awakening. Everything at the start of the story is designed to get us to buy into his vision of the world. Even his assignment to Alaska we see filtered through his perception – he says he was banished to the edge of nowhere as punishment, and so that’s how we see him. The flashbacks that he shares with us are all about people looking down on him. So when he says that he’s had a rough upbringing – that people teased and bullied him, that his grandfather hated him, that his mother never understood him, that the people around him didn’t respect him, that his superiors conspired to get rid of him – that’s the way we see him as well. Yuuya is our protagonist character – everything we see, we see almost exclusively through his eyes. Spoiler warning: this review includes material that goes beyond the story of the anime.
