Ruby is understandable. Kana isn't. She's completely irrelevant and a complete bitch. Akane has actually done a ton to help Aqua. And without her help his incestuous little sister would be brain damaged or dead by now. Akane and Aquas relationship was the most "real" out of any possible ships in this series. AquKana is just a joke though.

Because AquAka is the strongest pairing this series produced naturally simply by writing them together.
The most powerful fans and the most subhuman haters all gravitate around it, a sign that shows that AquAka is a writing marvel from an hack that hasn't realized it just yet but will now that season 2 will make Akane explode in popularity unless he purposefully mishandles her scenes.

The naturally produced pairing of being saved mid air (already jumped) and then obsessing in pleasing her saviour, being kissed in a dating show and becoming a fake couple, spending time as a fake couple without even holding hands, starting dating "for real" but offscreened and then monologud that boyfriend loves someone else and that they're still a fake couple, hopes somebody they will be real anyway, tries to kill daddy so that her dream can finally become true, loses everything.

Absolutely naturally produced pairing by simply being written together without any underlying plot reason at all !!!

If you mean with "more compelling dynamic" a fake relationship that was needed to move the revenge plot and a fake relationship to protect his actual love interest, then yeah you are personifying a plot by projecting it as actual character traits of your girl.

Naturally you still can't understand why it had to end so "abrupt" with Akane and therefore you're trapped with your 100 times debunked confession panel and will cry forever that Aka "retconned" it while it was never a thing and 100 times explained why there was never a need to retcon anything.

Because Aka couldn’t come up with a real legitimate in-universe reason to make them break up, but he had to break them up because it was obvious that she wasn’t supposed to be the main love interest. I’m not even an Akane shipper, it’s just super funny how AquAka had more chemistry than Aka intended for a losing heroine and this makes kanafags seethe because AquKana interactions are just Aqua and other characters greentexting how great Kana is and how they like each other, lmao.

What do you mean by chemistry though? Most Akanefans imagine the chemistry must have been great according to a phone call. So their great chemistry was literally offscreened then? Wow. That's so great... They ate parfain together! The other chemistry that was going on was plot relevant for the revenge and naturally declines with the importance of the revenge plot itself.

So it's not
>Because Aka couldn’t come up with a real legitimate in-universe reason to make them break up
But because Aka never intended them to GET TOGETHER without a real legimitate (romantic) in-uiverse reason to begin with

Their subsequent breakup didn’t even touch this topic. Couldn’t even write a proper breakup dialogue, instead we have Aqua acting schizo as always and Akane acknowledging that he’s acting in contradictory ways “you said you wanted to use me but now you’re being kind…”
>“I never loved Akane and I always used her, I even put a GPS on her and took advantage of her position and intelligence but now I’m breaking up to keep her away from my revenge otherwise she’ll get into dangerous situations or ruin her own life… because I care about her!” Then never goes over their relationship again, next time he sees Akane she declares she will stop him and get involved in his revenge again and Aqua instead of telling her off he challenges her to try. Bravo Aka, great writing, now lay down the drugs or take your meds.

Akane "discussion" consists of someone ojisanposting, which causes one or more of the akaneschizos to completely lose their minds and shit up the thread for a couple of hours.

He obviously overexaggerated to make her hate him, because he was planning to suicide and wanted to create reasons for the people around him to let go of him with the intend that they wouldn't be as impacted by his death but can just move on. Same stuff happened when Ruby flipped out after he published Ai's secret, where he said "It's okay like this, makes it easier for you when I'm gone".

In fact during their relationship he prob used the GPS to comfort her even better or to keep an eye just in case. She had an unstable history and Aqua invested most of his time to make sure she won't get exploited by evil industry types again. For an obsessed guiltfucked guy like Aqua that's pretty much in character.

I agree to the second half of your greentext. That shit was just badly written.

Except we never saw him actually happy, while both Akane confirms he's just playing her good boyfriend while being attracted to Kana and Mem confrms that Aqua is the obsessed one over Kana who because of his mental illness can't risk dating her.

This entire period of his life was pretty sad and far from genuine happiness. He completely lost track from living a good life. Instead he was exhausting himself with a shitty variaty show while keeping track of Akane's mental health.

No, the point is that he always loved Akane and always cared about her, that's the point of his confession the chapter prior and the point of him trying to protect her by pushing her away and bottling up his feelings for her because of his revenge.
>next time he sees Akane she declares she will stop him and get involved in his revenge again and Aqua instead of telling her off he challenges her to try.
That wasn't her telling him she'd get involved with his revenge, it was her telling him she's going to stop him from ruining his life for it, like he stopped her. Aqua was begging her to save him.

Anon, I'm aware that not being on a suicide revenge mission makes one happier. But at the same time we can clearly see his own mental state in his actions in contradiction to the performance he gives off to the people around him, literally culminating that even his gf can still see through his facade ("Aqua, a liar", "playing a good boyfriend", "Aqua is still haunted", "he is attracted to Kana") and ultimately Chapter 150 Gorou saying that finding out that Sarina is alive was the salvation he was seeking.

In no shape or form was the Aqua between Chapter 80 and 96 able to live a happy life serving his OWN interests. The bar was set so low that it's truly amazing to me that you literally quote the comparative of "happy" when it was evidently a lie.

>What do you mean by chemistry though?
When characters have organic dialogue instead of acting like the author’s mouthpiece to greentext about how we should feel about something. Akane falling in love with Aqua is believable because it’s the exact reason as Kana: he put himself in her shoes and helped her and was by her side when no one else was in that moment. So then she tries to give something back to him. She tries to understand him and make him happy too. They talk and sometimes open up to each other. Like the scene where Akane figures out Aqua’s past and hugs him you could tell that it wasn’t forced on her by the author, it felt genuine and touching. Compare to the one “Arima shines best when she’s drawing everyone’s attention” when Aqua didn’t spare a single thought about that issue until Akane prompted him to, and it was Akane who cared more about Kana in that performance than Aqua, yet Aka had to write Kana reacting only to Aqua’s efforts instead of Akane’s. That’s contrived writing. Aqua not even remembering Kana after the big timeskip and then acting like he’s always been her fan on the balcony is contrived writing especially because they had just met again, he had no particular reason to be that invested in her.

What I personally find funny is that Akane was written like a proper love interest from Aqua’s point of view but wasn’t the designated winner so Aka couldn’t have Aqua fall in love with her for real and had to break them up because the plot demanded it.

What is "organic dialogue"?
>>
>>268260601
He needed her to lead him to the father. The phone call was grooming her. Yet at the same time he wasn't lying of course. He is thanking her because if she didn't accept and shared his revenge goal he in fact wouldn't come so close to his goal. This phone call was a parting message because next time they see each other he'll pretend to be the biggest asshole ever in order to alienante her to keep her save and he wanted her to hate him so that if he dies she's not suffering from it.

It's an in-character trait that Aqua believes if he was truthful reasons for his words then the actual ulterior motives to say them are justified. Like when he convinced Kana to join B-Komachi, then explained Miyako how he manipulated her but then also said "Well, I wasn't lying though".

Yeah, it only makes it more realistic. She may have had a crush even before that because she blushed when she was asked if she would like to date Aqua for real, but then their relationship deepened. She was given a reason to be interested in him and then grew attached as they spent more time together.

Nice argument, yes the readers judge the work. It’s like when you’re eating a good meal, maybe you can’t cook and couldn’t name the ingredients of the dish but you sure as fuck can recognize when something is cooked or not or if it’s edible at the very least. It’s something you intuitively feel.

>Like the scene where Akane figures out Aqua’s past and hugs him
She had her starry eyes the entire time, deeply affected by realizing that the secret ingredient to understand Ai ("secret child") which to Ai was a saviour happens to be the actual person Aqua who is also Akane's savior. This realization messed her hard, overwhelmed by Ai's and her emotions. Hugging scene is the literal definition of contrived (but psychologically interesting writing, just google "method acting" and the wiki article "psychological effects of method acting") but it's very much important for building Akane up as the main heroine for Aqua's revenge plot. Helps you also to understand what the recent "motherzone" Akane put herself is all about. Being separated from Aqua made her realize what's actually important for her: To make him happy selflessly, meaning without the need of a romantic relationship to support this wish.

>Compare to the one “Arima shines best when she’s drawing everyone’s attention”
I don't understand why you pick for your argument some scene from the stage play. But you're wrong. It wasn't just Akane who wanted Arima to shine. Aqua made the effort for himself, because as he explained to Melt one can lift up his own performance by displaying contrast. Aqua knew he can only beat Taiki and everyone else if his act of pain and suffering is contrasted to Arina's pure infinite joy.

You haven't thought about the TB stage place well enough and make it about romance.

So to sum it up: You quoted a scene elemental to Akane's inclusion into the revenge plot and you quoted a TB scene you didn't even realize the significane of.

We both know there are enough dialoges between Aqua and Kana that aren't "contrived" but you'll rather lie.

No? "Aqua-kun, a liar, is doing his best not to lie to me" means that Akane is aware of Aqua's true nature, and thus him trying to be honest with her means that much more. He was not "playing a good boyfriend" he was BEING a good boyfriend. "Aqua is still haunted" of course, what would he be finding salvation in Akane for if that wasn't the case. "he is attracted to Kana" Akane's adherence to the narrative she created in her own mind of Aqua not being able to love her does not change that his true feelings are of love towards Akane.
>ultimately Chapter 150 Gorou saying that finding out that Sarina is alive was the salvation he was seeking.
But she is not Hoshino Aqua's salvation, as evidenced by his black stars.

That is literally exactly he was doing, he was pursuing his love like he wanted and he was pursuing his new dream of acting. He was being Hoshino Aqua, not Amamiya Goro who lived only to serve others.

Picrel. Stop making up your own headcanons about method acting to recontextualize the shitty writing that is going on now I can assure you that Aka was not thinking that far nor that deeply. Btw, readers having to make up headcanons to justify characters changing their goals and emotions offscreen is the epitome of bad writing

He changed his mind because of Akane who wanted to bring out Kana’s acting. He wasn’t shown being concerned *by himself* about Kana’s performance prior to that moment.
>>
>>268261457
>He was not "playing a good boyfriend" he was BEING a good boyfriend
The monologue begins with Akane bringing up the ultimate redflag of being a good boyfriend (being attracted to another girl), then lists a greentext of what traits of a good boyfriend he do fulfills though. It's an act of him.
>Akane's adherence to the narrative she created in her own mind of Aqua not being able to love her does not change that his true feelings are of love towards Akane.
LMAO. No, it's her idealistic belief that their relationship is actually leading somewhere which makes her tolerate the major red flags of that cuck relationship. That his feelings are "true" is your headcanon, even Akane isn't saying that. She just believes that the lies become true someday. That the lie that he loves her - as he is acting as if he does as her boyfriend obviously - at some point becomes the truth. Like I said, it's an act and Akane knows that.

Akane hopes so much that this happens that she in the beginng of the monologue explains that she refuses to question why he is doing what he's doing, coping that it's probably because he really tries to be with her.

He never did though. He was doing exactly what he promised he'd do in Takachiho: protect her. And protecting Kana. Aqua between 80 and 97 is a psychological mess and far from being actually happy. His human relations strategy is completely retarded and mind fucked and it was sad to see.

You will eventually understand this soon when you realize that after Hikaru is dealt with he will actually not return to the state of mind of Chapter 80, but actually progressed beyond that sad little life.

Private arc was literally dedicated in part to showing that this is bullshit. Akane may want to selflessly support Aqua's happiness, but she is also genuinely in love with him and wants to be with him, that hasn't changed as evidenced by the scene in 149 where she thinks to herself how she won't allow Aqua to date anyone she doesn't approve of.

Yeah but look at the arguments in general. People discuss whether AquAka is a healthy relationship, whether he loved Akane for real or not. They discuss the actual relationship. Nobody is questioning whether their relationship existing makes sense in-universe or not, because it’s been well explained and given a proper reason on both sides.

When people criticize AquKana by calling it contrived and questioning its validity, the argument by shippers is “we have been TOLD Aqua likes Kana multiple times” (yeah that’s exactly one of the problems here) and “he was shown liking her by making owo faces”, but when you ask them *why* they like each other and what actual MUTUAL development is there to explain said liking especially on Aqua’s side they go “they just do okay?”.

>Btw, readers having to make up headcanons to justify characters changing their goals and emotions offscreen is the epitome of bad writing
It's my headcanon since 1 1/2 years, anon. I can prove it with essays that I posted.

>A character LITERALLY acting in in character in accordance with their emotions who were properly developed on screen and given a realistic reason to exist in advance
>Just say you don’t know what that means at this point
Contrived means to me when the sheer existence of a character serves a plot purpose and thus turns any of that character's trait into a function or device for that end. The moment Akane was portrayed as the ubermensch genius 1 to 1 copy of Ai it was set in stone that she'll become a kind of yandere for Aqua (aka re-enacting a kind of unconditional support). You can't understand the Akane on Gotanda's balcony without the impact her realization of Aqua being Ai's child had. Just as you can't understand her overproctective murderous intend to kill Hikaru without the severe emotional impact her "Ai role" had on her while watching Hikaru's videos. Literally shown via a panel in which "Ai's emotions that revived in me have stirred up".


>He wasn’t shown being concerned *by himself* about Kana’s performance prior to that moment.
He literally says Kana's attitude pisses him off. Aqua made up his plan how to win against everyone offscreen, but on screen we saw several times and it got narrated how important the competitive aspect between the actors is, with the difference that Aqua didn't just do it for ego but for his far more important revenge goal. Aqua needed Arima to give her performance otherwise he couldn't beat everybody. Picrel

It was even diffuse on the bridge when Aqua pointed out her mixed signals. However I did not say that Akane do loved him. I'm saying that clinging to the hope that the relationship can become real dispite the red flags is something she finally overcome, thus her wish for his happiness is now separated from being romantically affiliated with him. She knows it's not her to please him romantically, which is why she supports Kana now.

A lot wrong with it when you’re 1) writing a fictional story 2) not showing the characters actually interact and develop this feeling over time. Instead you get Aqua greentexting on the balcony out of the blue like a stalker despite not even remembering her and having just reconnected recently. Or 150 where Aqua greentexts about Kana being a hardworker despite never witnessing her efforts because he was ghosting her, or said efforts happened offscreen during the timeskip between her childhood and adolescence. To add insult to injury said effort wasn’t even shown to the audience either. Or worse, talking about her “strong, straight gaze” when after that bold declaration she did nothing but mope for the entire story.

What does this even mean, holy shit. Characters either love each other or they don't. If they exist in the same universe nothing stops an author from writing them as lovers.
>we have been TOLD Aqua likes Kana multiple times
No, we have been told by others that Aqua loves Kana ON TOP of different AquKana interactions that show that they are indeed in love with each other. Changing POV just serves to further affirm what most readers already knew from their interactions, rather than to completely replace actual interactions with it. You are such a dishonest piece of shit.

Same gaze she gave him on the TB stage, same gaze she gave him during the video filming in Takachiho.

Do you not get, how depressing it was for him and how obsessively he was trying to protect that straight gaze by not becoming the reason she gets hurt?

Afaik he used in all cases the word "like".
To Akane: I'll always like you
To Ruby: "Of course I like you, Sarina-Chan"
To Kana: 150 where even the word "romantic feelings" gets used together with liking her and her qualities.

Yeah, yeah. Cope that it's "Gorou" who said that, ignore that "Aqua" autistically yells "I KNOW THAT" and sperg about the "adolsecent" line if that helps you to undermine any third party who pointed out Aqua's feelings for Kana too.

Holy shit you need to treat characters as individuals with their own goals, feelings and reasons and not just as dolls you can position however you like. This is the difference between good writing and bad writing.

The ultimate AquKana cope, as I said. Keep seething.

Nope, it’s textbook “tell, don’t show” and even breaks immersion when done badly. Like Gotanda being “sure” Kana was Aqua’s girlfriend because he brought her over once and didn’t even act romantically around her. If you ACTUALLY write good organic interactions you don’t need other characters greentexting about said obvious love
>from their interactions
I’m still waiting for the organic AquKana interactions that show *how* he fell in love with her, but you’ll keep coping that he doesn’t need a reason and that it doesn’t even have to be shown, for you it’s acceptable if Aqua is just *written* as being in love with Kana because the author wills it.

Let me spell out what the anon is trying to say. It's very obvious:

>1. Aqua does not consciously consider her the first choice to be the girl to spend his youth with. "Why her?" Needs to remind himself via Gorou.
>2. "Gorou" reminds him of all the qualities he likes in Kana.
>3. Aqua is already aware of these qualities that his other self is shilling and gets annoyed when "Gorou" gets pushy.

The take away is that yes, Aqua likes Kana, always has, but she's not his first choice. The whole situation is logic versus heart.

Well until she thought she got proven wrong when he shared Ai's secret.

I think there is a difference between forgiving and simply not care about Aqua anymore. The latter represents her position more. Likewise she didin't "forgive" Aqua after the reveal but he simply became important to her again.

In practice her relationship to Aqua after she understood why he shared Ai's secret is the same as during the cosplay arc: She is just obsessed with her own revenge goal.

The entire relationship between Ruby and Aqua Hoshino is like that Human Resources meme, where the woman reacts differently depending on who says x thing.
Ruby latched against Aqua for selling Ai and couldn’t forgive him no matter how many characters tried to justify him. But once she learns he is Goro, suddenly everything is forgiven. She never understood Aqua, nor noticed that he was always acting exactly like Goro

Even fucking Gotanda (who knew about Ai’s wish while Ruby didn’t) said that one had to see the dvd to understand Aqua’s actions and Aqua purposefully hid it from Ruby AND tried to make him hate her. It’s fucking obvious that she would be mad. Frill read the script so she could infer what was behind it, Ruby didn’t so she couldn’t especially after Aqua tried to make him hate her and purposefully lied about the real reason he revealed the secret

>>268264392
No, you literally braindead rat. Aqua was going out of his way to push her away and not disclose his intentions by misleading her. Part of the plan was so that she wouldn't miss him after he was gone. Which is why Tsukuyomi told him it was a bad move to save Ruby, because it would have been easier to carry out his revenge plan if Ruby hated him as intended. Once Aqua stopped being an edgy faggot and explained himself, Ruby forgave him.

But why am I even explaining this? You're fucking retarded with zero literacy hellbent on pushing this deluded headcanon Ruby only cares about "Gorou", likely thinking it's going to save your sinking ship somehow.

Where did Aqua downplay Ai's importance? He never said anything bad about Ai or how not important she is to him. He just used the information and that's it, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about Ai, you just made that up just like schizo Ruby did.

Yeah, and what she has (the ability to convince people of one lie in particular) is inferior to the star eyes, which can sell any lie in general.
>>
>>268264590
Both your's and the rat's position do not contradict each other though.

As soon as Ruby read the script and knew what the movie is about, Ruby should have come to her senses. What reason was there to still be mad when she at the same time forced herself into the role with unbreakable determination, clearly sharing the goal of the movie that Frill spelled out and she must have understand after reading the script herself.

Ruby even at this point did not question Aqua's attitude.

Because he actually DID something that proved the lie could be the truth. You don’t understand shit though because you think Ruby forgave him just because he’s Goro, while she forgave him because he revealed the truth behind his actions to her, which is that he did it for revenge and that he didn’t forget Ai at all.

>Nta but no, but you’re trying to claim that Christmas is obviously a romantic holiday when it applies to AquKana but deny that it could be applied to current AquRuby, who previously shared a significant moment in their relationship which was related to Christmas
No, I'm saying that when we get a narrational buil up in the manga forming around love and christmas that this implication is rather obvious. Going from Akane's effort to push Kana, forcing her to make a confession of love to Aqua as the latest as christmas by directly tilting Kana with the "If you don't do it I'll do it myself, I don't want to be on christmas alone", the dream sequence with Gorou and then Kana's invitation to come to her graduation with her clear intend to hopefully get together with him is a clear romantic build up.

Thus your implication (or whoever it was) that dropping the ball was a rejection is pretty shallow if we just go by the manga narrational build up.

>"Yes"

okay anon.

>>268265426
Okay, no black stars but she lost her stars completely until he revealed his feelings and at that point she regained her white star. 123 was Ruby’s turn, 143 Aqua’s turn there’s no deep reason to it other than Aka wanting to write Ruby returning the favor later. Because what actually made them go back to white were their feelings for each other.

>rat is pulling the pedophilia card
Oh the sweet irony

>>268265679
He was going to wait until she came of age but if she still felt the same. Yes, he loved her and it’s why he got reincarnated.
>>
>>268265714
Why aren't you just saying "Yes, I think Gorou had clear romantic intention when giving Sarina her gift" instead of this bullshit
>>
>>268265617
The buildup is framing Christmas as a romantic holiday. The concert tickets that were just brought up by Ruby in 143 were the aforementioned Christmas present in the novel. I don’t think this is just a coincidence that now a lot of emphasis is being placed on Christmas.
>>
>>268265787
Why do you think he said he would think about marrying her?
>>
>>268265846
to not crush her hopes while she's dying
>>
>>268265982
>Illiterate rat proving he never read the novel, yet pretends to have a valid opinion
He never knew she was dying or terminal, you stupid fuck.
>>
>>268265817
Oh, I totally agree that it's not a coincidence. I'm in for a conflict to arrive over this. That certain interests are clashing is obvious.
>>
>>268265982
He didn't think she was dying.
>>
>>268266016
>Todou: You had to be aware
>Gorou: Well, yea... but

He was shocked that she is so terminal that she couldn't even make it to the concert, because both Todou gave her his approval to go to the concert and Sarina hid her recent pain from Gorou.

You are mixing up two things here.
>>
>>268266016
>>268266063
he knew, and anyway it was 0 committal from him because in the case she was going to recover from cancer, she'd go back to live in the city with her family as a normal teenager for years and would have forgotten to ask an old guy to marry her
>>
>>268266177
Sure, that's why her death affected him more than anyone else.
>>
>>268266101
>>268266177
Retards, he didn’t know she was going to die soon and thought she was getting better. He also explicitly said that making promises so Sarina could look for something in her life was cruel
>>
>>268266101
>The prognosis showed a five-year survival rate of approximately 20% post-diagnosis, highlighting the disease's difficulty to treat.
>Certainly, Gorou knew that it wasn't an illness that could easily be cured.
>"If the astrocytoma has metastasized, radiation therapy is also ineffective. It was obvious that this day would come. Amamiya, you were prepared for this, right?"
>“I… was… but," Gorou couldn't help but retort, "Until this afternoon, she was full of life! She could talk normally and had a good appetite. She was even excitedly talking about the concert...!"
>”... I see," Toudou responded in a soft tone as his shoulders slumped. "But Amamiya, that’s the cruel reality of an illness. It always takes the lives of our patients in moments we least expect them to."
>"This can't be happening…!"
What is denial? He “knew” but didn’t want to believe it.
>>
>>268266101
>>268266177
Holy fuck, this cope. He thought she was going to recover. Or at the very least, deluded himself she was going to. He no idea she was dying. Fuck off with your copes.
>>
>>268266258
It's not even that, he believed she would live despite chances of that being slim. They also go on to explain that Sarina kept her deteriorating health a secret from him and got the nurses to agree not to tell him.
He did not think she was going to die and even states he would never make promises to her to trick her.
>>
he promised to think about it
then saying no to the 16yo healthy sarina won't be a betrayal
>>
>>268266258
Well, I'm reading this not as denial but as hope for her own sake, because certainly her not dying is obviously for any decent human being the right mindset.

You're reading it as that he was waiting for her to survive so that they can love each other.

We're not going to agree on this. So lets just agree to disagree.

There's a reason we get the keychain and its importance to Goro brought up in 144 after Ruby's confession in 143. Then, we get the crows POV on the keychain scene and the motivation for reincarnating them in the next chapter.
I don't know how stupid you have to be to miss this obvious shit.
>>
The actual answer is that she's a fucking 12 year old, and when a child says something along the lines of "Mr, I want to marry you when I grow up," you don't go "Heh, no way" and crush their feelings
>>
>>268266537
Retard, he actually thought that she would recover, that’s also part of the reason why he was so devastated by her death because she passed away in the moment he expected the least

That's not what he's saying. The argument is that he wasn't bullshitting when he said he'd consider marrying her when she came of age because "lol she gonna die, let's make her happy."
>>
>anon is so autistic he thinks goro would have said no to sarina in that moment if he didn't intend to marry her
>>
>>268266628
And he was still going to consider when she turned 16. Your next cope?
>>
>>268266628
Retard, Goro explicitly denounced such promises
>>
>>268266720
even when a kid with cancer is asking?

The retard wants to pretend that Goro didn't mean anything he said to Sarina. Despite the fact that he didn't deny that she meant more than to him than just a patient at the hospital and couldn't define his feelings for her when asked.
However, when Ruby starts saying she's 18 year old Sarina he gets awful fuzzy about it.
>>
>>268266714
>>268266720
You guys are legitimately autistic. And not in the haha funny 4chan way, but in the literally cannot understand human interactions and dynamics way.
>>
>>268266795
No, you just refuse to accept that Goro was being honest despite it being written as such.
>>
>>268266630
Literally scroll up. I literally said that of course he was devasted because he didn't expect it to happen in this moment.

However it also implies that he was aware and certainly if she died for instance after the concert, maybe a little bit after or a year he would have been far less impacted, knowing that he at least could provide her some memories worth living.

You however construct his emotional damage around the marriage proposal and thus in the end by your logic it's acutally irrelevant when she died and whatever good happened to her if they didn't end up dating each other by age 16.
>>
>>268266753
Yes, he said it was cruel to make false promises to a girl who is not going to make it anyway just so she could have something to look forward to
>>
>>268266753
Don't try to move the goalpost, you disgusting rat. You heard what he said.
>"The thought of her having something to look forward to... that’s just too cruel."
Gorou wasn't like that.
>>268266766
They're so illiterate and obnoxious, but reality going to bludgeon them in the face more soon than later.
>>268266795
No, but you are definitely coping. Keep at it, you're doing great!
>>
>>268266857
No, he thought she would live despite it being unlikely.
>>
>>268266882
>"The thought of her having something to look forward to... that’s just too cruel."
Gorou wasn't like that.

Gorou wasn't even aware that she was genuinely looking forward for that. That's the irony. Just like he wasn't aware how fucking apeshit her psyche went when he disappeared to Tokyo.
>>
>>268265982
Goro was entirely serious when he said he'd consider marrying Sarina.
>>
>>268266857
>However it also implies that he was aware and certainly if she died for instance after the concert, maybe a little bit after or a year he would have been far less impacted, knowing that he at least could provide her some memories worth living.
literally headcanon. The most obvious explanation is that Goro believed that Sarina would recover like all people do with their loved ones. Nobody wants them to die
>>
>>268266938
Yep, literal chapter 1 confirmation that if Sarina asked him out at 16 it was a done deal.
>>
>>268266628
I hate it to break it to you but it’s a typical romance trope in manga/anime
