Everything? :D

I find the duality of confidence and ambition vs doubt and fear of hurt (himself and others) compelling. I like he's confident in his skills and has many of them but he doesn't come off as arrogant about them. I sympathized with him when he said he's not confident in his decisions and he keeps mulling over them. They've seemingly led him and others in bad places (although I think he sees it more bleakly than it really is re: others because many people are grateful for what he has done for them).

But despite all that, he's willing to try again. That's admirable. I kinda got the feeling he was pretty desperate by the time of 4piece (which is really sad for a 15-year-old) and so, meeting Keito and Akatsuki meant *a lot*. That's really touching to me. I like he's doing everything he can to be worthy of them.

He seems carefree and easy-going, and he is, but he also cares about others. He absolutely defends his friends and family and strangers too if they are wronged. I like this duality again, first you look at him and think he just does whatever he wants despite others but he cares and wants to belong. But there's again that lingering trauma that makes him pull back if he thinks he's truly, truly going to inconvenience others. Keito has been telling him that they got his back, if he has troubles he's not inconveniencing them. It's pretty classic trope of "I'll help others but don't let others help me" but it's something that resonates with me.

I like he so earnestly tells/shows if he likes someone. Akatsuki senpais being the primary example of course, hugging Keito and trying to hug Souma (:D), telling Souma he loves his lyrics, saying he likes them all (I gotta post the Fan Thanx message, it's so cute).

And of course I like his relationship with the senpais, especially Souma. There's a reason everyone went kinda crazy for them after Butterfly. 😄 What I really appreciate is that they don't baby him even though he's quite a bit younger. (Kuro is a bit parental at times but it's more about "here's a band-aid for your scraped knee" and "don't eat too late", not excluding him)

I really like he's not afraid to say his opinions, it makes the conversations fun. I like he's smart and the "more mature than his years" type, but the tiny bit of childishness that comes out sometimes is adorable (I'll forever love the scene in Kagetsu, which is his unit 4* unbloomed, where he yells "bakaaaa!" at Keito and others 😆). And it's cute when he sulks lol.

He's also funny and cheeky in the way I like, Perfect Sundae was so great. "Meow~"

I like he can look both cool and cute. I like his character design.

This is kinda an extra thing but it absolutely adds to his charm for me that he is voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi. He's added a lot more emotion and variety to Ibuki's voice lines during these couple of years, the newer seasonal lines are so, so fun. And of course I like his singing too.

Previously translated pair names that had been posted to Twitter. However corrections had to be made (misinterpretations & an instance of mistranslation), so this is version 2.

Note: This is the only translated thing I will be posting, I am not off hiatus. I had been meaning to archive this before my hiatus, but I also had to fix some things, which is why there was a delay.

Please consult to this post only regarding pair name translations done by me (82mitsu), any other posts or reposts you might see of this chart is the older version. (Previous version has been deleted, but I'm unaware how far the information had spread.)

If any other corrections need to be made, feel free to contact me and I'll make them as soon as possible.

Below follows an extreme lengthy TL note breaking down some pair names, it's a lot of text, so be warned once you unfold the read more.
