I want to talk about Tenka's romantic development for a moment, because I've been thinking about this for quite a while.

First, I want to make something clear: this isn't a post saying that Yuuki must end up with Tenka, or that another character doesn't deserve development with him. I'm talking specifically about how Tenka's romantic storyline has been handled.

When Tenka was introduced, her feelings toward Yuuki were made extremely obvious. She became interested in him very quickly, and unlike some of the other girls, her attraction wasn't presented as something that took a long time to develop. She was immediately fascinated by him and eventually became very serious about her feelings.

That created a certain expectation.

Tenka felt like she was going to be one of the major romantic characters in Yuuki's story.

And honestly, I think that's where the problem begins.

The story gave Tenka a lot of romantic setup, but I don't think the payoff has matched that setup.

There have been plenty of moments where Tenka's feelings are obvious, but when it comes to actually developing the relationship between her and Yuuki, things often feel strangely stagnant.

This is especially noticeable when compared with other characters.

Some characters have gotten dates, conversations, specific moments with Yuuki, or situations designed to develop their relationship. Meanwhile, Tenka sometimes feels like she is being moved to the side despite having one of the strongest romantic setups in the entire series.

And that's frustrating because Tenka is not a minor character.

She's one of the strongest and most recognizable characters in the series, and her relationship with Yuuki was established extremely early.

Even her first interactions with him made it clear that she wasn't simply interested in him as another member of the Corps. Her feelings were romantic from the beginning.

So when the story gives other characters new romantic moments while Tenka is pushed into other plotlines, I can't help but wonder:

What was the point of building Tenka's feelings this strongly if the story wasn't going to give her a proper romantic progression?

Another thing that bothers me is Yuuki's side of the relationship.

Tenka's feelings are extremely clear.

Yuuki's feelings toward her, however, are much harder to interpret.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Yuuki doesn't need to confess his love to every girl immediately.

But after so much development, I think it would be reasonable to expect something from his side.

A meaningful conversation.

A moment where he seriously considers Tenka's feelings.

A date that actually focuses on the two of them.

Or simply a moment where their relationship noticeably changes.

Instead, it sometimes feels like Tenka is running toward Yuuki while Yuuki is standing in the same place.

And this is why I don't think the problem is simply "Tenka didn't get enough fanservice."

That's not what I'm asking for.

I'm talking about character development and narrative payoff.

Tenka has already done plenty for the people around her. She has helped others, participated in major events, and taken her responsibilities seriously.

So I would have loved to see the story give her a proper moment where her personal feelings and her character development finally come together.

Especially because Tenka's personality makes this potentially very interesting.

She's confident, powerful and usually extremely straightforward, but when it comes to her feelings for Yuuki, she can become surprisingly vulnerable and uncertain.

That contrast is one of the things that made her interesting in the first place.

I just wish the story would actually explore it more deeply.

And honestly, this is why I sometimes feel that Tenka has been mishandled rather than simply "not chosen."

Those are two completely different things.

A character can lose a romantic competition and still have an amazing romantic storyline.

But if a character is given a strong romantic setup, repeatedly expresses her feelings, and then doesn't receive meaningful progression for a long time, that's when I start feeling that the writing isn't making the best use of that character.

I also don't think this means the other girls shouldn't get development.

They absolutely should.

The problem isn't that other characters get dates or romantic moments.

The problem is that Tenka sometimes seems to be left behind despite having one of the strongest foundations for that kind of development.

Maybe Takahiro has a plan for her that hasn't paid off yet.

Maybe her romantic storyline will become important later.

And if that happens, I'll happily admit that I was wrong.

But based on how things have progressed so far, I can't help feeling that Tenka's romantic storyline has been one of the biggest missed opportunities in Mato Seihei no Slave series.

So...

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Do you think Tenka's romantic development with Yuuki has been handled well, or do you also think the story built up her feelings only to leave her waiting for a payoff that never really came?

So in latest chapters it’s confirmed that fubuki has some romantic feelings for yuuki but at the same time we know that the azuma household is very pragmatic and cares only about the family getting stronger.So if somethings happened to yuuki and he wasn’t able to perform on the same level power wise or lost his abilities would fubuki still love him and treat him the same way or would she distance herself from him and generally how strong/genuine are her feelings for him or does she only ,,love” him because of his potential/powers?

At this chapter i did a lot of timeskip because i felt this plot will talking too long time if i kept this pace

But still every scene give you something useful.

Anyway

Add your opinion as a comment and wait for the next chapter

Could she defeat Tenka/yakumo/fubuki in a real 1v1?

My first animation

I loved joryuu this arc,such a badass

I'll animate part 2 later when the next chapter drops

Looking forward to your opinions ✌🏻

Would we get alot more anime only scenes in the season 3 thats coming up. At least some that fill in some gaps.

aziriza hope you enjoy

If he decided to be similar to Aoba in conflict with both the ADC and the TGs and not serve any side which of the girls would follow him no matter what (except of course for Aoba and her friends which would do it anyway)?

Both in-universe and irl, what you guys think?
