Takeru for the send a character!
Why I like them/why I don't
Homura didn't strike me as very interesting at first glance, but as I kept on watching the series, I slowly became more and more attached to him. He's grown so much over the course of this show, and his determination and passion is always amazing to see on screen. He's just an all-round good person and cool character, and fulfills his role as a supporting cast member very well. ^_^
What I like about his appearance
His hair in his real-world form...
It just looks so fluffy and cloud-like?? Especially the way people draw it in fanart. I think it makes him come off a little more nerdy than he actually is, but it still looks very nice nonetheless.
Do I prefer their dub names or original names?
Soulburner isn't in the dub yet, so he's safe from having his name changed to something ridiculous... At least, for now.
Him and Yusaku 💕!! There's just something about it that makes sense to me, y'know? Yusaku and Homura view eachother as close friends, and connect with eachother on a deep level that we don't see our protagonists reach with other characters that often. They easily have one of the strongest romantic chemistries together out of all of the characters currently in the show.
However, I'm not entirely opposed to Flame x Takeru.
Homura with anybody 18 or older, especially anybody in the 20+ range. He's 16, you can't do that... That's wrong...
If Yusaku, Takeru, Ai, and Flame go on a double date together, does that count as shipping all four of them with eachother?
Probably not. Would be cute, though...
The Phoenix, purely for aesthetic and symbolism reasons alone :-9. It's always animated really pretty, and a phoenix representing Takeru's development over time is beautiful.
(You can tell I'm an anime-only fan, haha.)
Favorite moment they were in
His duel with Revolver in 115 and 116!!! God, that whole thing was so hype, and both characters were just so, so good throughout both episodes. They're filled with such wonderful moments for both characters.
WHEN HE DEFEATED WINDY AND WINDY BURNED TO DEATH... :'-((((((( THAT WAS MY SON....
Windy's threat at the end was pretty cool, but I wish it didn't have to happen...
Would I fuck, marry, or kill him?
No, I like him too much to hurt him, and he's a bit too young for me to do anything else with.
However, I would gladly take him to McDonald's and buy him anything he wanted. ^_^
