88888888888)))))))))) I'm going to use their american names bc im american trash so
1. The first character I first fell in love with: ROWEN, I saw him in the teaser trailer and I was like "that one is my favorite" and he TOTALLY WAS
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Kento, bc on first watching I just saw BIG DUMB GUY WHO EATS but I warmed up to him when I started digging into the supplemental stuff
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I mean, I'm so far removed that I can't remember any characters that I didn't love, but I had to REALLY bend Cye every which way to come up with a version of him that I liked that didn't contradict canon, but I blame a lot of that on his nasty dub voice
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: yuli o n o . . .
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: I used to be ALL ABOUT DAIS but I really can't remember why? I mean, he's fantastically pretty but...
6. The character I would totally smooch: rowen rowen rowen rowen rowen rowen /stands on head about ROWEN ROWEN AND HIS STUPID ENORMOUS CLOTHING
7. The character I’d want to be like: hmmmMMMM Anubis, probably! BEcause you know, his redemption story is SO GREAT and he has to fight for trust but he GETS IT and really, he's a super talented guy who just has bad luck until he realizes the path he's supposed to be on and then he becomes a SUPER BADASS WHICH IS KIND OF HOW I SEE MY LIFE SO
8. The character I’d slap: Ryo, because I just remember him whining a lot, but I DO need to get back on my rewatch. I know he does cool things too and inspires people, but like--NARUTO ALSO INSPIRES PEOPLE BUT NEVER ACTS LIKE AN EMO DOUCHE, SO I DONT GENERALLY WANT TO SLAP NARUTO unless i slap dat ass
9. A pairing that I love: Sage/everyone. 8| It's not my fault he's soOOO BEAUTIFUL. But mostly Sage/Rowen (hhHHHH #1), Sage/Mia (it's cool bc he has his moments, but he's at a better maturity level for her?), and Sage/Cale (LIGHT AND DARK AND CALE IS ALSO SO ATTRACTIVE? spades all tha way. I also had a thing about Sage/Kayura, but I don't think it was based in canon?? I think I just liked it.
10. A pairing that I despise: Cye/Kento always seemed like a pity pairing to me, honestly. I would rather see them NOT PAIRED UP (if you're going the ryo/mia, sage/rowen route) or paired Cye/Sage or Cye/Ryo and Kento/Rowen--but I prefer Kento and Rowen as biffles, maybe they kissed once accidentally/one a dare/experimentally, but the most important thing is who has the higher vidya completion rate
