Favorite Hakuouki brotps?
Hi anon :D Sorry this took me so long to answer I was crazy busy in the last few days >.
Soooo favourite Hakuouki BROTPs….
1st Place: Souji and Saito (to no one’s surprise)
BROTP, OTP, Soulmates. These two were just made for each other and their friendship is one of my favourite parts about Hakuouki. Both of them are loners (Saito more obviously than Souji, though) and I feel like both of them have a hard time to get attached to an other person. But when these two met, it was like two puzzle pieces fitting together. They get and understand each other in a way no one else can. Saito, who is usually a bit awkward in social situations, is so comfortable around Souji to even joke and Souji truly cherishes his company. Their relationship is strengthend by the trust and faith they put in each other and the knowledge that the other will always have their back in battle. I guess I will stop now before I get too carried away XD
2nd Place: Heisuke and Ibuki Ryunosuke
This one is mostly in the Reimeiroku anime. I just love their interactions with each other. Most of the time they behave and bicker like eight-year-olds but there are some moments when genuine friendship shines through. For example Ryunosuke notices that Heisuke is not so carefree after all and puts a lot of serious thought into things behind his cheerful persona. And Heisuke cares for Ryunosuke’s well being a lot. More than once he states that Ryunosuke shouldn’t stay with the Shisnengumi, because he worries so much for him. They are so cute <3
3rd Place: Nagakura and Harada (and Heisuke)
Bash-Brothers, Bromeos, Heterosexual Lifepartners. They are the J.D. and Turk of Hakuouki. I mean, these two Idiots are basically like two typical frat bros? Drinking together, fighting together and one day when they are married (not to each other of course^^) they will have houses next to each other and dream about how Shin’s son will marry Sano’s daughter in the future.That’s the dream. Bonus BROTP points when they are together with their adopted little brother Heisuke.
4th Place: Hijikata and Nagakura
I feel like their friendship is not appreciated enough, but that could be since it is only truly visible in Nagakura’s route. For a long time, Hijikata is the reason why Nagakura stayed in the Shinsengumi, even though he felt like he could no longer support their ways. Hijikata in return cares deeply about Nagakura and his opinion, so much that he even apologizes and explains his motives for his actions to him. There is a huge amount of respect and trust between these two.
5th Place: Hijikata and Sannan
I have a feeling like these two a have a very interesting friendship. They clearly respect the other one and acknowledge each other’s talent and usefulness for the Shinsengumi but what gives me the BROTP vibes here is their subtle, lighthearted teasing.^^
Thank you very much for asking
