KonTae and OkiKagu Parallels
Just some parallels. I donât think theyâre intended but I like it when my ships have parallels.Â
The most obvious one being this:
Tae and Kondoâs scene is more serious and mature, but the theme rings true for the both of them. Itâs Kagura and Tae respectively who specifically reassure Okita and Kondo about the Shinsengumi, that thereâll always be people whoâll believe in the Shinsengumi no matter where they are.Â
The âtadaima-okaeriâ exchange. In Kondo and Otaeâs case, itâs Kondo who says tadaima but the Otae who says okaeri is apparently a pandemonium. In Kagura and Okitaâs case, Kagura doesnât say tadaima and itâs Okita who says okaeri (I have a lot of feelings for that chapter ok? It was the Shinsengumiâs mission to bring back the Yorozuya together again, and Okitaâs specific mission was to gather Shinpachi and Kagura, âthe lost kidsâ as he puts it, but there are certain lines in his fight with Kagura that makes me think the fight was just for him, separate from the Shinsengumi mission though a part of it, it was personal to him.)
Then this line by Okita when talking about Kondo and Otae. I find it interesting, Okitaâs insight into what Kondo really wanted in relation to his relationship with Otae. Heâs either a closet romantic or softer in his observations since itâs Kondo. Similarly though, thatâs what he does when he reunites with Kagura, both the first time and after the time-skip. He simply wants them to go back to their old routine, fighting each other, and despite the time that has passed and the changes theyâve both undergone, for him, he and Kagura havenât changed at all, and I think that comforts him.Â
EDIT: Oh yeah, and letâs not forget that both Kondo and Okita have, in some way, âproposedâ to the girls, though in Kondoâs case it was part of a gag (though he was serious of course), while in Okitaâs case, it was one of his sadistic jokes.Â
