Anime: Re: ZERO Starting Life in Another World

Characters: Subaru Natsuki and Kenichi Natsuki 

Main Boy

I’m starting to realize something very important and I cannot believe it has escaped me up until now: there is no heterosexual explanation for Barusu and Reinhard’s relationship. I mean, seriously. Like, okay Reinhard is an aight guy, sure. His kidnapping of Felt and how he didn’t even consider giving Rom a heads up that “hey, you know your granddaughter? yeah, I’m gonna yeet her head first into this whole geopolitical stand off. That cool with you?” is more than a bit insane but overall this seems to be mostly atoned for and all.

But how he just goes ridiculously out of his way for our boy Barusu pretty much unprompted from day one, how he gleefully overlooks all the crazy shit Barusu pulls off (I mean, seriously, can you just imagine how batshit crazy our boy must sound to the entirety of Lugunica like half the time? Like, yo, this kid larping as captain Ahab over there, showing an uncanny understanding of all the different factions underhanded plots and masterfully traveling through all of them... isn’t that the same kid that made an ass of himself in front of this nation’s entire ruling class because he - allegedly - knows jack shit about our culture, customs, history, social structure and all that? That’s the guy leading us into battle? Oh, ok just wanted to clear that out.), how he gets that wee glint in his eyes whenever Barusu is near... Reinhard wants Barusu. As far as I’m concerned there’s no two ways about this.
