This was a really nice analysis :3 I hope things turn out this way too, excited to see what happens
So sorry! I meant to hit like!!!
Oh, man, I was expecting a cliched response to the whole Kuranosuke and Kazushi relationship development, but that is NOT what I got. I got a seriously well thought out consideration of both sides of the equation. Although, I don't think you considered very seriously the below Anonymous' point of view.
I guess I am the only one that likes Kazushi and sees him as a lost and lonely guy who is trying his hardest to raise an obviously orphaned child (the kid said he was looking for his mama and papa, but NEVER has he called Kazushi his papa), and is clumsily trying to reconnect with a man he obviously loves who is building a wall against him in self-defense. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Kuranosuke either. In fact I love all the characters. But I think this is sweet and sad and am hoping that all the misunderstandings (because I think that is what they are, misunderstandings mostly on Kuranosuke's part) are cleared up soon. And we still do not have enough info on the past to really say that Kazushi did anything bad to Kuranosuke. We just know that Kuranosuke FELT like their hearts didn't connect. That doesn't mean that Kazushi was mean or bad. Just maybe that he was not as good at conveying his feelings back then as some people are. And that Kuranosuke took that to mean he wasn't truly loved when he very well. most likely was. And still is.
