About this pattern

Explanation

逆に is used to present information that contrasts with what was previously stated. It signals a counterpoint or an opposite outcome, expectation, or situation. It can be placed at the start of a sentence or clause and is commonly used in comparing contexts, expectations vs. reality, or when correcting a common assumption.
