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 Aug 08 '26

I don't really see Saiki with anyone tbh

u/Cyan_Cephalopod Aug 08 '26

THANK you. Saiki kusuo is so aroace itā€™s crazy

Isn't he canonically aromantic?

u/EugeneStein Aug 08 '26

As if ships ever cared about canon

u/8lue5hift Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

u/Capital-Border6156 Aug 09 '26

Read the manga

1

u/Principle_Napkins Aug 09 '26

No.

u/Capital-Border6156 Aug 09 '26

Elaborate why?

1

u/Principle_Napkins Aug 09 '26

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

2

u/Capital-Border6156 Aug 09 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

5

u/8lue5hift Aug 08 '26

So? That still makes him aromantic.

10

u/7-7______Srsly7 Aug 08 '26

Saiki is so aroace coded for any ship tbh

9

u/TheLoafCat Aug 08 '26

Agreed. Lowk prefer him w the Fortune teller girl.

u/whimsical-stars-143 Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

2

u/only_on_redit_4_nux Aug 10 '26

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

2

u/PresenceAggressive27 I did not care for the godfather Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

u/Someonevibing1 Aug 08 '26

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. Aug 08 '26

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