Platonic dynamics over romantic ones any day. While yes, the romantic relationships between characters are insanely well-written, I've personally never found myself too interested in them, (with the exception of Terukane because it's funny) and it sucks to watch people toss amazing platonic dynamics to the side because the majority in this fandom only cares for the romance. I genuinely want more content with the platonic dynamics in the manga. So yes, prepare for me to talk about my favorite dynamic.. MINAMOTO BROTHERS ๐
They make me so sad, devestated even. The way Teru knows the supernatural world is a threat, while Kou is oblivious to it, barreling into the fray with a naive mindset. Then that creates conflict between them, Teru only wants to protect his little brother, who could easily end up severely injured due to his weak and kinder nature, the likelihood of something horrible happening to Kou because he showed mercy or decided to trust someone (ahem, Natsuhiko) is relatively high. But Kou doesn't understand that, and like he said, how could he understand if he was sheltered from it his whole life? Of course he's going to be the way he is, he quite literally does not know as most of his experiences with supernaturals have been full of whimsical adventures, (minus anything related to Mitsuba,). I find it funny how both brothers don't understand each other fully; always disagreeing, never on the same boat, yet their dependency on each other is incomparable to most characters. Teru said it himself, he quite literally does not want to live in a world without his siblings. I donโt think it's a coincidence that Kou's name translates to light, while Teru's is shine; the moon cannot shine without the sun's light.
Personally, I side more with Teru, Hanako proved to be a dangerous supernatural by killing Aoi, and he was also right in the end regarding Kou's safety, (I mean.. just look at what happened to Kou in the alterated timeline.) But, I also find it unfair for him to be upset with Kou for not understanding his point of view when he never allowed him the chance TO understand. And that's what makes Teru such a complex and well-written character, he's going to do things that aren't always right, but if you delve deep into his character, you understand as to why he is that way. He sacrificed his youth for his siblings, and yet, Kou pointed his weapon at him as if he was a villain.
But to Kou, Teru was attacking his friend, someone he created memories with, so he defended him. From both of their point of views, their reasoning is justified.
Anyways this is just me screaming from the trenches and begging for more Minamoto brothers content, this fandom starves me, I am like a rat eating bread crumbs since one fic is posted about them once every two months. Please, give me more silly minamoto bros โน๏ธ
