Taro and Sonoi

Post by CaptainTalon449 »

So at this point can we call Taro and Sonoi a gay couple? The way these two have been acting around each other all season from Taro asking Sonoi out for Oden to the literal heartbreak you can hear in each other voices when they realize that they are enemies to each. It's becoming really hard to ignore

In addition there's the lyrics to Tsuki Nomizo Shiru which has a very prominent subtext and the fact that P-Bandai is selling Taro and Sonoi paired wedding bands

It's a bit fun for the writer to be in on shipping. I don't know if that was the original intention between the two characters, but you can definitely see him leaning into it

They're not marketed as wedding bands (only like $100 so a bit cheap for that) and to be fair they've had paired rings before for Wizard/Beast, the Ws, Build/Cross-Z, OOO/Ankh, Ryuki/Knight etc. However, this is the first time the characters the rings are based on are outright enemies/rivals (also the first Sentai paired ring iirc)

The ridiculous variety of merchandise that Bandai manages to come up with blows my mind.

I don't understand the market at all. But clearly someone must want it if they're making it.

Yeah idk, sometimes it seems like they just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Meanwhile they still haven't made the Enter goggles I crave so much *me taps watch meaningfully*
