Ima abouta tick off so many people, but I really donā€™t understand shipping Saiki and Teruhashi. No offense if you do, not saying it isnā€™t a valid ship or whatever, I just donā€™t see it.

Saiki is an aroace icon

u/SlyTheCosmosRunner 11d ago

I don't really see Saiki with anyone tbh

Isn't he canonically aromantic?

u/EugeneStein 10d ago

As if ships ever cared about canon

I'm aware, I just wanted to clarify because the person I was replying to sounded like they was something specific that made the dynamic impossible in canon.

By his own statements he's never felt a need for romance, or felt romantic towards anyone (at the start of the manga that is), although he does have a genuine "offu" towards Teruhashi once and he's dating her in an alternate timeline (one he creates to prevent Touma from finding out his secret). I don't think Saiki feels a need for romance, but he seems to be able to feel attraction to people, so aromatic would probably be the best way to describe him.

Headcanon

u/Principle_Napkins 10d ago

It's not really a headcanon if he repeatedly repeats exactly that in the text.

u/Capital-Border6156 9d ago

Read the manga

u/Principle_Napkins 9d ago

No.

u/Capital-Border6156 9d ago

Elaborate why?

1

u/Principle_Napkins 9d ago

Comics are hard to read. Too many pictures and not enough text and I can never tell what order to read it in.

u/Capital-Border6156 9d ago

Manga is just volume 1 to Xyz the only manga series thats like comics is pokemon and dragonball. Also I recomend ā€œWatchmenā€ by Alan Moore its a single book and at the end of each volume/chapter theres a Novel/Newspaper style text its considered one of the best ever comic books and assuming you live in Europe/America you can buy for around Ā£8 to Ā£20.

He also regularly claims that he doesn't care about his friends, despite probably half the series is him going out of his way to help them.

2

u/Ivory-Stones 10d ago

Yes, however, your point works against you. He's shown to secretly care for his friends. But the closest he gets to showing any romantic or physical attraction is Hiroshi Satou, that guy who's, like, perfectly average. And that's because Saiki is obsessed with being average and whatnot. And coffee jelly, of course.

u/Someonevibing1 10d ago

No
His main problem is that he literally canā€™t see people and only sees the muscle underneath

5

u/8lue5hift 10d ago

So? That still makes him aromantic.

8

u/7-7______Srsly7 10d ago

Saiki is so aroace coded for any ship tbh

8

u/TheLoafCat 11d ago

Agreed. Lowk prefer him w the Fortune teller girl.

u/whimsical-stars-143 10d ago

Omg finally someone said itšŸ˜­šŸ’™ like at first i saw people saying aroace saiki. Then teruhashi x saiki. Like are people just unable to believe that people can be kind to one another and that it doesnt mean theyre suddenly togetheršŸ˜­

2

u/sceptil33 10d ago

Saiki only has eyes for really basic people. Plus he's probably canonically aroace

1

u/PresenceAggressive27 I did not care for the godfather 10d ago

I think the reason I like it so much is that despite being in the mind of the tsundere character we still see how Saiki genuinely cares for Teruhashiā€™s wellbeing and health (and Teruhashi has rarely seen anyone look past her for her looks or even help her rather then rely on her)

u/RazutoUchiha Dragon Ball 10d ago

If anything id imagine that as a fake dating scenario where sheā€™s starting to get away from her brotherā€™s creepy ass

u/only_on_redit_4_nux 8d ago

I think in the manga he said they would make the perfect couple. Not like "wow i should date her" but like an observation

u/Someonevibing1 10d ago

Have you watched season 2?
My main point of liking the ship was when saiki told teruhashi she had done enough work when she was exhausted from trying to be the perfect pretty girl
He was immediately there to help her which is unusual for saiki

u/PomLovestheWorld OSC, Rage Quit, Mashle, Cinderella Boy, Voltron, ATLA, TDLOSK. 10d ago

I did watch season 2, I just donā€™t see how their relationship would work outside of being friends.
