Elfgrove: Yoshino Takigawa Mahiro Fuwa zetsuen no tempest Blast of Tempest spoilers gif unlike Scarlet I don't ship these two not romantically their relationship is so fucking complicated and just really fascinating and bound to end in tears they're both such deeply messed up and broken people and they care so deeply for one another even though they didn't at first shipping seems so simple by comparision because I don't think romance is partof the dynamic between Yoshino and Mahiro at all rather the're the short list of folk between each other that they would willingingly sacrifice for kill for destroy the world fior the sake it's messed up and not healthy and fascinating and I get it like Mahiro is a damn awful person but I can see a lot of myself in Mahiro for vengance for the sake of those few I care about I might be willing to become an unrepentant mons ter but Mahiro always was one before just restrained death and the need for vengance has destroyed what little held him back before it looks like a plan but it's just a queue they're just kind of love each other and Aika too much and in really self--and other ppl--destructive ways and i just can't get myself to pin what's between thim as romantic --all romanytic feels seem directed to Aika-- but it's no less strong jus
One wouldn’t imagine you two would normally be friends.
Kuro-Tsuki’s Tagged: reblog again, Zetsuen no Tempest, gif, unsolved mysteries, so ambiguously, this why i love their relationships, man i would love to get inside mahiro's head why he put out such a act, pls watch this show their relationship is so unorthodox and full of mysteries, with out making it look gay, not that i don't see mahiro may have feelings for yoshino, >.>, but this scene has so many interpretation going on, i still Want to know why, it's not the why part only, but this whole scene seem so ambiguously, don't forget the 'i will save you' and 'being swayed', side from that they're not really friends, their relationship is complex, so what give mahiro to take action?, he even seem so enthusiasm about it, it's amazing mahiro didn't see yoshino going behind his back, wow man i tag too much, sorry, just having a yohiro feeling.
“Why did you come?”
“What do you mean why?”
~I don’t think I should put a Spoiler Warning on this, but proceed with caution anyway? Also forgive my crude language~
Okay so… I normally don’t do this kind of shit, but I really just don’t understand how Zetsuen no fucking Tempest can be so gay without being GAY. Like… SERIOUSLY.
Let’s start from the beginning… So we have these two bros:
Mahiro and Yoshino. Canon Relationship: Two dudes who’ve stuck together since Elementary solely due to mutual convenience rather than actual friendship, though you could say a bromance did bloom between them as the years flew by.
And then we have this chick–Mahiro’s sis: Aika
…Who we’ve learned was dating Yoshino in secret when she died. However. RECENTLY!recently, we realize she and Mahiro had strong feelings for each other also. It seems like one big STRAIGHT triangle, complete with INCEST, right? Well, for those of you who are excited by the edginess of an incestuous romance, hate to burst your bubble, but these niggas ain’t really siblings, if you didn’t already know.
So yeah. Basically, Yoshino <3 Aika <3 Mahiro.
We have all this canonical straight in Zetsuen no Tempest, but then… We get OFFICIAL ART, such as
this:
and actual SCENES like
this:
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I see a DUDE reach out to STROKE the dirt off the CORNER of ANOTHER DUDE’S MOUTH while concerned for their physical well-being and most likely thinking “NU-UH. AIN’T NOBODY GONNA TOUCH MY MAN BUT ME.”, I get pretty suspicious of the definition of their relationship.
And that’s not even the best part. I could’ve forgiven this anime for the homo so far, but what really gets me is what happens in Episode 6 when Yoshino is “kidnapped”.
I know you’ve seen how it all goes down, but let’s just take a second and analyze this situation.
So they’re just chillin’ around a campfire, right? When the Po-po flies in, they immediately knock out Mahiro like so,
and then proceed to take Yoshino to their head guy. A while later when Mahiro wakes up to Hakaze’s bitching from the wooden idol,
he realizes shit has hypersped while doing quadruple backflips off that god damn handle, literally bolts upright as soon as he remembers what happened to Yoshino, and wastes no time in leaving, yes, leaving behind NOT ONLY the briefcase containing the special artifact which the pair had just recovered to use for excelled magical exchange, but his one communication to Hakaze, who I shall remind you is the KEY to finding out who murdered his sister–the base point of his character as Hamlet is to avenge her death and it is directly stated that there is NOTHING at present more important to him; even saving the WORLD from destruction only merits itself as a subordinate reward to him. Yeah. He leaves that bitch behind without a second thought.
Soon, as Yoshino, being the little two-timing manwhore he is, discusses a possible deal with the bitches that knocked his boyfriend Mahiro out, said teen arrives at the camp with, evidently, no one but–you guessed it–fuckin Yoshino on his mind.
…Look at this bitch. He is determined as a motherfucker to get his man Yoshino back. –> Proceeds to knock out the entire fucking squad, who are aiming numerous lethal weapons at him meant to kill, and mindlessly continues to risk his life all to save this kid from a group who could be the Japanese Prime Minister’s Special Ops for all the fucks he gives. Seriously, he has no shit-fuck idea who these people are, he just knows they have Yoshino and he wants his bitch back.
So when he gives chase to the van he can only assume has Yoshino in it (as it is the only one that sped away at his arrival) and Yoshino jumps out of it (because he knows Mahiro will flip that shit off the side of the cliff otherwise) and they run off together back into the woods, we get this lovely scene:
WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU?
Once our boys catch their breaths, Yoshino looks over at Mahiro and asks why he bothered saving him–implying that their bond should not have been that strong of an incentive to do such a thing. Keep in mind, these gays guys aren’t supposed to be that genuine of friends, especially given the concept that Yoshino doesn’t seem to think twice in double-crossing Mahiro for his own benefit.
And when our Yoshino asks this completely not-at-the-risk-of-an-innuendo question,
Mahiro finds it completely appropriate to enlighten him with
And to add fucking NITRO GLYCERIN to our 200 ton explosive C-4 and TNT ORGY, this nigga, who apparently couldn’t give two shits about whether he saved the world or not, sits up and immediately follows this gay confession up with
All of this… With no intention of any existent romantic feelings for each other at all… And in the future, more than likely, this anime will “grace” us with an interaction between these two boys SO VERY 500% GAY but COMPLETELY “BROMANTIC” at the same time, mark my words.
…I just… I can’t.
