i still cant believe that two boys, MAIN CHARACTERS AT THAT, are a canon, explicitly confirmed couple in yugioh zexal

(in the original, astral uses “aishiteru” which is one of the HIGHEST forms of love in japan, NEVER used towards family OR friends bc of its strong and serious meaning)

this is in a SHOUNEN series aimed at a YOUNGER audience

like

even in the anime, we had a bisexual boy who fell in love with both the main girl and the main boy

this is such a big fucking deal and i am so mad nobody is giving a shit as much as they should bc “lol extreme ygo series hair card games for kidz bluh bluh” like THIS IS HUGE AND YOU SHOULD WATCH/READ ZEXAL???????
