For the ask game: Kai, Misakou, Misaki?

Thanks 💖

Give me a character & I will tell you: Kai Toshiki

How I feel about this character: I have a lot of feelings about kai that i've said before so here it is again. disregarding the cardfighting aspect of kai’s fall to link joker, he felt increasingly inferior to the people he admired and respected most - ren and aichi, who had become more confident and more respected by their peers - and feared on a deep level that they would be able to move on without him and leave him alone. this debilitating fear of irrelevancy caused him to spiral into a deep depression where he grappled with his own inadequacies and ultimately gave in to isolating and self-destructive behaviors in a misguided effort to regain his relevancy in their eyes, and managed to convince himself that he was not their equal but their superior. in trying to prove his worth as a friend to them, he managed only to further damage their bonds.

when he finally realized this and was offered the chance at being forgiven, he rejected it and determined that he was better off not existing at all rather than risking ever hurting the people he loved again. and when he finally did accept that he had been forgiven, he was constantly reminded that his own shortcomings had affected his friends and ended up spending years trying to overcome the guilt he felt at how much he had hurt them. this is why he had such an overwhelming obsession with saving aichi during legion mate - he couldn't bear the thought of aichi suffering because of his sins.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: aichi, miwa, ren, gaillard

My non-romantic OTP for this character: even though i ship them romantically, miwa. miwa is the perfect best friend for kai, someone who knows how to call kai out on his bullshit but also wants kai to be happy. he's willing to put his own feelings for kai behind him just to make sure that kai doesn't revert back to a shadow of himself, isolated and alone.

My unpopular opinion about this character: kai toshiki is canonically a shy, socially awkward, and insecure nerd who hyperfixates on a card game to fill the void in his life left by an absence of loving, trustworthy adult role models and every time someone portrays him as aggressively sexual or forceful i lose five years of my life

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: kai and aichi hugging, but like, mutually and not with one passed out in the other's arms

My OTP: kaichi

My OT3: kairenai or kaigaiai

Give me a character & I will tell you: Tokura Misaki

How I feel about this character: i love misaki. she hides her own insecurities by allowing others to perpetuate a "boss lady" persona for her so she doesn't have to worry about people trying to get her to open up. when this finally happens, when she becomes part of Q4 and later the miyaji cardfight club, she comes to realize that it's not really so bad opening up after all. i'm glad she became the true boss lady in G series to the point where shin and kamui were both scared of her, but that she's also gentle and becomes a mentor for the younger kids.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: kourin, miwa

My non-romantic OTP for this character: kai. i think misaki and kai have a lot in common and a lot of ways that they coped with their trauma (parents dying) unhealthily by appearing uncaring and "scary" to those around them, but they both come to understand each other due to their backgrounds (particularly in legion mate, where misaki and kai are both grieving the perceived loss of kourin and aichi, respectively)

My unpopular opinion about this character: she deserved to win at least once in legion mate but i doubt this is an unpopular opinion lmao

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I really wanted misaki to have been the one to fight kourin during the link joker climax, like in the manga/v series psyqualia arc. i think it could

My OTP: misakou

My OT3: none

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you: misakou

when or if I started shipping it: i think during the school play episode, when misaki was the only one who had faith that kourin wouldn't blow them off and actually show up for their performance.

my thoughts: they were both known for closing themselves off from those around them but learned to trust and open up to each other. misaki went through hell to see kourin again. i say this so much, but they deserved to have a reunion. they deserved it and bushiroad denied it. a bitch don't forget!!

What makes me happy about them: misaki is one of the very few people in the world that sees kourin as a person worthy of befriending and getting to know outside of her status as an idol. they are very comfortable around each other, to the point where they can be open and vulnerable in a way they can't be with others, like in the manga/v series when the cardfight boys go out of their way to give kourin some time to rest and misaki is the only one the boys trust to help kourin relax.

What makes me sad about them: kourin doesn't! even get! her memories back!! misaki wears kourin's hair tie for years afterward and they don't get a reunion...

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: lmao what fanfic

Things I look for in fanfic: LITERALLY THE EXISTENCE OF MISAKOU FANFIC LMAO

My kinks: kourin doesn't lose her memory

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: miwa for misaki, but i don't have anyone else for kourin

My happily ever after for them: if kourin MUST lose her memory, i want her to be compelled to visit card capital, hearing that lots of strong fighters play there, and request that someone teach her how to play. misaki then works to rekindle their relationship from the ground up and they fall in love all over again.
