"Why do you play?"
He never thought about it like that. Yuji naturally wanted to do things for other people since it was what his grandpa wanted—and out of the kindness of his heart—but to be told that you need to be selfish in order to get what you want?
It was a relief.

If there was one thing his humiliating loss against Todo, the ace of Kyoto High, taught him, it was that he hated losing. He hated the humiliating 'ooo' of the crowd when he missed a shot, he hated the humbling experience of having his dunks blocked and obliterated, he hated the embarrassing feeling of inferiority on the court when forced to block someone much taller and wider than he is, and most of all, he hated the sticky feeling of the bench against his sweaty uniform.
Once he knew what he hated, the reason for his drive became much clearer—the selfish reason.

Yuji was aiming for Mars, and when everyone on Earth told him he couldn't make it, he decided he would turn into a star instead.
