what are your favorite hiori ships??
oh don't get even get me STARTED.
tabiori as the masses will scream. you can trust that my whole world shifted and i was reborn as a kinder and gentler soul when chapter 335, 336 came out. i mean hiori's light novel is basically a fanfic about the two of them because huh. what. what do you mean karasu thawed your frozen heart. what to you mean the orange sunset bathed his back in a gentle aura. huh? i truly believe they complement each other so well i love myself an amazing childhood friends to lovers. hiori was struggling so hard back in the bambi osaka days and then karasu popped up and i cannot emphasize enough how necessary karasu was to hiori at that time, for him to finally branch out through him and find a real friend under his parent's suffocating pressure. i have them on my wall. i will have them tattooed on the small space right above my heart. don't play about tabiori with me.
hiorin, genuinely such a good pairing it makes those little worms in my head bite down a bit harder. i know it started out as a rarepair and it's honestly amazing how good of a ship it is even with lack of canon content. but they work soooo good together!! hiori being the only person rin would let touch him gently because he knows that whatever hiori does its not to hurt him, hiori being strangely possessive over him as well would work really well. hmmm.
hiogiri. hiori and chigiri. please everybody please get on the hiogiri agenda it works it workss pls. they're almost always paired together in official arts and merch. they're always celebrating each other's wins and converses really well off match and always pictured together!!! chigiri's knee and him getting rid of that limitation himself and pursuing his goals once more in blue lock at the start is literally parallel to hiori trying his hardest to score in ubers x bm, didn't get it, but still found a new reason to keep on playing soccer and also broke through his chains!! i'm totally not pairing two of my fav characters together and i'm also a heavy kunigiri-ist as well. but it works, i promise.
i guess you could say hiosagi, because isagi could be paired with anyone in blue lock actually (😭) and they certainly have a lot more chemistry than #hiogiri over there, it's just not my favorite. honorable mention however.
