Blue Exorcist (Manga) / Re: Shipping Thread!
« on: November 18, 2018, 08:58:32 AM »And 1 more year passed in chapter 105. Nothing seems really happened between them even after Rick explicitly reminded Shiro. The ship seems sink ...there are toxic things about Shiro/Yuri, which is clearly NOT the case with Rin/Shiemi since they are a very healthy and beautiful friendship/relationship.Interestingly, in chapter 104 the story advance 9 more years and it doesn't seem like the relationship between Shiro and Yuri had any fundamental change despite hanging out together in their youth age. Of course, Yuri is still relatively young (around 25) at this moment and it's still possible in the next chapter Kato will say that in the past 9 years they had tried dating for a few times, but I wonder if the kiss in chapter 103 is already the highest moment of their dynamic.
in summary, I feel yes, in aspect yes there is parallels between both ships, but they are also meant to contrast each other in showing "this is the healthy way to do this, and this one is not"
Shiro/Yuri's dynamic will, of course, change as we learn of the past, so my perspective can change, but so far this is how I see things.
I don't come on here often, but um, gonna have to disagree here. them getting closer as friends DID change the dynamic with Shiro and Yuri, because while he's still an asshole they have a legit friendship and imo seems like even all those years she's had a lingering romantic interest in him.
and the new chapter did add to that, Rick brought that up and while not blatant, Shiro and Satan's rivalry isn't completely one-sided. Shiro whatever feelings he possibly has for Yuri is very hidden and he just ignores it, he does that with most real deep feelings for others or emotions in general and plays things off like it's not a big deal (like his traumatic childhood when he tried to backtrack and say it wasn't a big deal)
he's big on playing what he really feels that's deep off, which adds to him just sleeping around and not getting close to anyone for so long. some things changed, but I do believe he feels something for Yuri and this chapter reinforced that for me with him telling Yuri not to help Sec13 because she could get hurt, him volunteering to help her with Rinka when no one else would, and how immature he acted in the Satan situation, etc. he showed he cares more about what's going on with Yuri than he originally let on.
this is where it gets complicated, I interpret he DOES also have lingering feelings for Yuri he just ignores, and you interpret he doesn't. both is fine to do, but I honestly think the buildup Kato is doing in showing that kiss and Satan's jealously wouldn't be shown if there was nothing more to it.
but as I said, just how I see it.
