i'm here to make an announcement on my bnha blog that you should read hell's paradise. it's a historical dark fantasy about a group of criminals and executioners venturing into a strange island in search of the elixir of immortality. that is the plot but i find it to be most compelling in the way it develops the relationships between two initially opposed groups of people and how they end up changing each other and drastically reshaping their worldview! basically it does bnha better and more succinctly. also the art is gorgeous.

i do have to advise there are potential triggers (gore and sexual violence in particular) though these don't dominate the tone of the series imo. also if you make anything beyond superficial comparisons between aza chobe and bakugo i'm contractually obligated to take you out so keep that in mind🙏

Aza Brothers

It seems obvious to me that Toma and Chobei have a love-romantic relationship, at least there are hints of it in the manga, especially in the second half part (which should be in the second season of the anime, I hope these moments will be in the anime too).

There is also a chapter that was not included in the manga/anime, for some reason the author was afraid to include these moments, but there is a DVD, in the form of a story that is read by the voice actors of the characters. The story is dedicated to two couples, the first is Gabimaru and his wife, and the second pair is Toma and Chobei, where Toma's feelings for Chobei are revealed, memories of their life together, as well as their time spent on the island. "How much does a younger brother feel for his older brother? As Chobei and Toma spend their time alone together in Shinsenkyo (Divine Paradise), Toma's devotion is on full display - and explodes. From bedding to meal preparation, his overflowing talent realizes the ultimate in “hospitality.

This is the story of two brothers who have never been told."

- (From a cut episode that was not included in the manga and anime, but which was written by the creator Yuji Kaku himself; Toma tells a small story about the days he and his older brother, Aza Chobei, have spent together since childhood, told from Toma's point of view.

This is an episode that the author Yuji Kaku was unable to fully depict in the main story, and is a must-listen for fans of the Asa brothers.)Original text:

兄を想う弟の気持ちは如何ほどか。弔兵衛と桐馬、神仙郷で二人だけの刻を過ごす中、桐馬の献身性が如何なく発揮――爆発する。寝床から食事の用意まで、溢れる才気が至上の『御もてなし』を実現。

これは語られる事のなかった兄弟の物語。

アニメ1期のDVD上巻の特典であるドラマCDに収録された一篇『双樹ノ想ひ』では、彼が兄の亜左弔兵衛と幼少期から共に過ごしてきた日々の小話が、桐馬の視点で語られている。

作者の賀来ゆうじが本編に描ききれなかったエピソードであり、亜左兄弟ファン必聴の内容である。

The author writes on twitter he regrets that he did not include this story about Toma and Chobei: https://x.com/ug_kaku/status/1708738304416555483

It is obvious that the author intentionally draws parallels between these two couples, Gabimaru and his wife, and Toma with Chobei. A hint that their feelings are similar.

They don't have an overtly sexual tone, both couples are depicted chastely, however, there may be a romantic subtext implied. Especially considering the overall narrative of the story. Dark fantasy with erotic horror elements.

Another moment, Chobei compared his relationship with Toma to that of Ju Fa and Tao Fa, but with the difference that he let go of Toma because if he kept holding him tightly, Toma would break, but Ju Fa couldn't let go of Tao Fa, and that's what ruined them... because they didn't learn to be independent from each other in order to survive and help each other. While Toma learned to be independent, and that's how he was able to save Chobe and they are back together. But also, considering that Ju Fa and Tao Fa are partners and siblings... there are similarities with the Aza brothers.

In the manga, almost the entire story is permeated with sexuality, the tensens have sex and orgies for the sake of ritual or pleasure, the tensens seduce Chobei into sex, the monsters and doshin do the same, and commit sexual violence against the heroine Mei, other human characters are also shown in a sexual manner, there is Yuzuriha who tries to seduce everyone (as a manipulation and a weapon), there is a cannibal prostitute who tried to seduce blind samurai Shion, there is an bisexual samurai Jikka, a lecher who sleeps with different random men and women in the manga (this is shown) and he flirts with all the other characters, also, there is a hint of a lesbian relationship between Yuzuriha and Sagiri, they hug, kiss, and the author even drew such art... it is clearly gay. https://x.com/D_Kumii/status/1561352479744200705/photo/2

Even the most explicit couple of Ju Fa and Tao Fa look less suggestive (I mean, panels outside of bochu-jutsu):

Next. Brutal samurai Gantetsusai also flirts with various characters, he is basically a womanizer and he constantly looks at girls, and when he sees Toma, who is a boy but very feminine, he also shows interest in him, calling him "pretty boy" all the time and wants to put him in a sexy dress (Toma later became his student, but he snapped every time if Gantetsusai flirted with him. Toma hated people, he only loved his brother, but for his brother's sake he agreed to cooperate with the rest of the team). Toma is so effeminate that he is called girl and ma'am a couple of times.

And there is Shija, a gender-neutral ninja who is passionately in love with Gabimaru, and wants to be in his wife's place.

Considering all this, and the author's boldness in depicting various forms of love and sexuality, as well as the popularity of brocon in Japanese media, I'm not surprised that Toma and Chobei's relationship is or potentially romantic. There are many hints to this. First, they are together all the time and dependent on each other, they are orphans who grew up in a house of all male bandits in the forest, in the manga it is said that they did not consider the bandits as their comrades, and were isolated from them and cooperate only for crime. Chobei did everything to protect Toma, even if it means challenging the gods and death itself, defeating the transformation into a monster and all for the sake of one person, and Toma was very dependent on Chobei and love him with all his heart.

"...because, while I'm a part of you… …you are everything to me." -Toma to Chobei. Look at the moment when Toma says these words. When Chobei, having lost himself, pierced Toma's body with his vines, and Toma was not sure whether he would survive, but he told him the most important thing for him, so Chobei remembered himself again and his beloved brother. (by the way, piercing also has erotic symbolism… just say)

Toma also admires Chobei's appearance.

It is said that Toma cooked food and prepared a bed for Chobei (basically he acted as his "wife"). People often think that Toma is a girl, in fact, he is a boy.

And he is very beautiful, and in order to preserve Toma's beauty, Chobei sacrificed his own beauty by disfiguring himself in front of the bandits who wanted to disfigure Toma. The bandits admired Chobei's courage and did not touch Toma.

The second hint, when Chobei was captured by the Tensen, and his brother's life (and everyone on the island and beyond) was on the line, Chobei agreed to have sex with the main Tensen Rien, and when he had sex, he thought of Toma. Toma is his top priority.

Secondly, when Rien (who is also a hermaphrodite) was riding Chobei, Chobei said "I'm not a fan of riding" and sat on top of Rien, so Chobei is clearly not a virgin if he has a preference in sexual position, and the question arises who he could have sex with, there was no one near him except Toma. Scary and ugly bandits do not count.

Next, Tao Fa, who is clearly fall in love/passion with Chobei from the very beginning, tried to seduce Chobei, but Ju Fa, Tao Fa's partner, got angry and jealous, to which Chobei said that he does it already (sex ritual), like, he does not like it. Tao Fa was upset, and Ju Fa suddenly changed and asked, is Tao Fa not good enough for Chobei? To which Chobei was perplexed: What do you actually want from me?!

Later, when Chobei was participating in the Tensen initiation ceremony, and when all the Tensen were in male form, Tao Fa thought that maybe he could seduce Chobei in male form. He thought that Chobei liked men?

But Chobei was only thinking about Toma, how to protect and save him, that Toma was his top priority. After reuniting with his brother, they had a fight with the Tensen, then Toma asked Chobei what he did with the Tensen, Chobei honestly answered that he had sex with one, and that they then cut it into pieces for experiments. Toma looked upset-scared-confused...

But Toma is so loving, he trusts his brother completely and believes in his plan. Whatever Chobei does, he is always right. At that very moment, lost, grieving, broken by fate and alone, Toma entrusted himself completely to his brother.
