What are some cute/sweet things Ibuki has done?
Thanks for the fun ask! 😄 I've probably talked about most of these but let's collect them in one place~
I have to start with the hugs. 🤗 In Butterfly Souma and Ibuki are talking about Loudest Bugs, Meikyo Ryusui and Akatsuki and then Ibuki asks if he can hug Souma. Souma is like "what???" and Ibuki says "can't stop me now~" and tries to hug him but Souma dodges and asks what is this nonsense lol. Ibuki says he thinks Souma's lyrics are so beautiful he wants to listen to them forever. (LB lyrics were written by Souma except the English words were from Ibuki, and MR lyrics are by Keito)
In Akatsuki VS Crazy:B when Souma explained why he's excited to travel to US, Ibuki asks casually "want a hug?" and Souma says "I'll pass" and just continues talking other stuff. It totally seems they have fallen into a routine with it lol. (Keep trying, Ibuki, I'm sure you'll get to hug him someday!)
Later in the story when Ibuki and Keito talk and Keito says Ibuki definitely as a place with them in Akatsuki, he hugs Keito. And then he hugs Keito again on the stage when Akatsuki is announced winner.
In Butterfly Ibuki was helping Tomoya, a hat from theater costumes got caught in the wind and flew up to the tree, so Ibuki climbed the tree to get it. Tomoya also mentioned Ibuki has been helping him a lot, for example with Hokuto-senpai (the penguin).
There was also cute roommate conversation in Alkaloid Fan Thanx story, Ibuki asked Mayoi what he's looking at and Mayoi said they did "playing card love letters" with Alkaloid and Ibuki remembered seeing something about it in social media and wanted to do it with Akatsuki. ❤️ (and then Tomoya told them to be quiet because he tries to sleep lol)
Ibuki's FS 4* story is sweet, Jun catches a huge fish and he, Ibuki, Tatsumi, Rinne and Niki eat it. Niki makes sushi and Ibuki says he's used to different kind of sushi and makes them American-style sushi (you can see it in his unbloomed card, there's for example California rolls).
Another cute food scene was in Only Your Stars when Souma ate an umeboshi (pickled plum) and said it was too sweet for him. Ibuki then said if it's sweet, maybe he can eat it too. But he went "sour?? you tricked me Souma-san" and Souma said he did not, it was simply sweet for *his* taste and told Ibuki to swallow it lolol. Ibuki said Souma is a meanie. 😆
Speaking of sweets, it was cute in AvsCB mini-talks he wanted to eat those candies that dye the tongue with Akatsuki. And in Ibuki and Keito's home screen conversation he urges Keito to take a break and gives him brown sugar (you can get it as candies or in more pure form in irregular clumps but which you can eat like candy. I like it in that form with coffee btw!).
It was also cute when Souma gave Ibuki sweets as extra birthday present, he wouldn't share them because they were special. <3 (because otherwise he seems happy to share things)
And although his methods are rather violent, it's really sweet he wanted to make sure the kids in his grandpa's orphanage would have a home in the future too when the thugs stole the deed to the property in Kagetsu, and went to get it back.
In Athletic Atmos Ibuki wanted to team with Keito in three-legged race but Koga had already asked Keito to be his pair and Ibuki was sulky having to do it with Souma instead lol (it's a bit weird timeline-wise but let's say they had a bad day or something 😆).
When Kaoru was braving himself to apologize to Anzu in Perfect Sundae, Ibuki suggested they rehearse the situation. So Shu was playing Anzu (angrily lol), Kohaku her friend telling off Kaoru and Ibuki the friend's pet cat lolol. Ibuki was meowing and purring. 😆 Then Kaoru said they don't need a nagging friend and a cat here and Shu suggested Ibuki should play Juis and Ibuki was excited about promotion from a cat to a love rival, hahaha.
And he has cute seasonal voice lines, like when he was excited to show his flashy Christmas cake and when he talks about taking naps (he's really a cat 😸). And we know from Souma's lines he was asking for Christmas turkey from him, and now NiceP has new summer line where he says Ibuki has been begging NiceP to treat him to a meal, lol.
Oh, one tiny cute thing I probably haven't mentioned here, in his new 4* story when Makoto said Tori is now the Student Council President, Ibuki says "hmm, a peach princess. As I'm an oni, it feels like there's a connection". 😄
