In a Twitter post, Inagaki-sensei's wife had Gen's head plushie on her face while Sensei had Senku's plushie on his.
Are we sure Gen isn't the canonical love interest? Kukuku
They keep giving us subliminal messages about them being canon.
I often say that if Gen had been a woman, she would have been the main love interest in any other show.
Also let's not forget that Inagaki-sensei has said that even without the petrification, Senku and Gen would have still met and became friends because "they are compatible". Alsldjfhhhh?!?!?
Also more recently, he has said that if Gen didn't react to one of his inventions, Senku would be confused and wondering what's going on with the mentalist.
Plus, when asked what Gen and Why-Man relationship is like, Inagaki-sensei still somehow made it about Senku.
And the merch team is just feeding us so, so well:
Once is an accident, Twice is a coincidence, Three times is a pattern and we are beyond the pattern stage. 🧐
