#just… something about Horobi's character as opposed to Naki's makes me prefer his dynamic w/ Fuwa over Naki's

Okay…

… Well, Slightly More Rested¡Fire is wondering if Tired As Fuck¡Fire is okay…

But that aside, it did also occur to me that maybe I’m really totally overreacting.

They could still do what I was hoping for, which is to make Naki Yua’s ‘HumaGear partner.’ Literally, they don’t even have to get Naki out of Fuwa (well, I hope they do eventually), they can be brain buddies, and Naki can still be Yua’s partner. Horobi can still be Fuwa’s.

Maybe that’s where they’re going. Maybe they’re not actually disregarding 30+ eps of build up like that. Maybe I’m just being a whiny brat bc (like often happens) I like the less popular dynamic and I need to stop being a baby, and they are actually planning on having Naki and Yua be a thing (like I think they should).

I’m cool w/ Naki and Fuwa being friends, I’m cool w/ them having an ‘understanding of each other.’ Like, I am totally okay w/ people having more than one friend. But I prefer the HumaGear partnership breakdown as ‘Yua and Naki’ and ‘Horobi and Fuwa.’ I dunno, I just… Kinda want those to relationships to be ‘special.’ I love the idea of Fuwa being the only human Horobi trusts as first bc Fuwa never lied to him (not knowingly) or tried to use him. Fuwa treated him like a person. Meanwhile, w/ Naki and Yua, Naki understands Amatsu’s treatment better than anyone, and it’d be an awesome angle to have the ‘HumaGear,’ the ‘tool’ being the one encouraging the human to think for themselves. Naki can still learn from and be affected by Fuwa. Hell, it’d be cool to see Horobi and Yua interact properly, too. Maybe they’re just hyper focusing on Naki rn bc they’re the ‘shiny new character’ like how, in Sentai, the Sixth is often kinda op in their introductory eps (I still feel like this introduction is rushed, but… I also remember Parad’s ‘redemption’ in Ex-Aid—and while I still don’t want Jin and Aruto compared to Emu and Parad, at least w/ that Emu and Parad had a connected history and the whole ‘I am you’ Persona thing going… Jin and Aruto just hated each other until they suddenly didn’t, but I’m not here to critique). I mean, they’ve still been largely ignoring Horobi for a really long time, but… Maybe we’ll get some real Horobi and Fuwa interaction again in the coming eps? Maybe???? (probably not)

I honestly do not expect them to do this at all at this point, but… I just really want to believe that 30+ eps of build up isn’t going to be shoved aside for a one-ep deep dynamic (aaaand… There I go again, sorry).
