The feelings of Zabuza and Haku
“Doesn’t exist yaoi in anime shonen.”
Who already defend a yaoi shipp in some moment surely come across with this affirmation to negate the that us believe. For downing this type of argumentation, I’ll show for you a excellent example of homoaffective relationship inside of the shonen manga in which our shipp SasuNaruSasu belongs. I’m talking about Zabuza and Haku."Ah, mas eles são amigos", "Zabuza usou Haku como arma", "mimimimimi".
“Ah, but they’re friends”, “Zabuza use Haku like a weapon”, “Mimimimimi”
In the first appearence of the Haku in maga on chapter 16, at where simulates the death of Zabuza to save him of the Kakashi’s attack, hitting Senbons (ninja needles) in specific points of acupuncture on this him neck. On this time, when Zabuza regains consciousness he ask for why Haku hitten it in this part of his body, because it’s a dangerous area for this. Haku answered to him (in blushed) this next affirmation: “I just din’t want to scar your beautiful body”. Yes, he said BEAUTIFUL BODY.
Furthermore, there is a moment (cap 21) where Haku did go gather some herbs to accelerate the cure of Zabuza, moment in that he meet with Naruto droopy into the woods. This time we can see that he's literally transvestited, to point of Naruto's call him of “lady” many times while talked, and at the end, when Haku turns out be a boy, Naruto says in thought “But you’re cuter than Sakura-chan!”, so really feminine. Detail: When Haku’s reborn with Edo Tensei, on flashbak over this same scene, he’s pictured most feminine of that first time, strengthening the image that author created of this femininity.
But isn’t just Haku’s part that we can see actions showing the feeling involving the couple. After the Haku’s sacrifice, in first moment Zabuza act like if he doesn’t cared, but when hear the Naruto’s words “He really loved you”, Zabuza burst into tears and decides use your last breath of life to avenged the child, that had her body kicked by Gatou, entering in fight against all henchmen of mafioso, even knowing to their lack of chances to win, because he’s injuries by your fight with Kakashi. And in their deathbed, like last request he ask for be taken to most close of Haku, for he can see him one last time before go, with the a only desire of can go for the same place that him before death, and that they can cross to eternity together.
So, we’re talking about ninjas that was rejected by everyone, excepted one each other, that spent their lives on side by side, that was able to die one by other and make it still with the desire of stay together beyond this life.
Yes, exist yaoi in shonen.
And just lasts considerations:
Notice that our pretty couple SasuNaru have some points like this two:
All four ever sacrificed yourselves by their respective partners in some moment, like Sasuke and Haku that used your bodies like a shield to protect his loved persons, Zabuza that died because fight against Gatou’s henchmen by avenge the humilation gesture making for the mafioso, and Naruto, that I doesn’t need no mention the number of times of him put yourself affront on everyone that want hit in Sasuke. Simililar it even in this failures of try shown their feelings, that can be see in cap 698 by Sasuke, that clearly feel it regretful with his actions, like Zabuza with Haku, having so the same look by his partners, a look that hold the same time love, admiration and some hurts. Furthermore, both the couples's ready for died together and stay together after of the death.
