I kid you not I was internalized waiting for him to come and I said his name like before it was even read and like, PPL STOP SLEEPING ON THIS GOD OF A MAN???

AND WOW WAS HAKUBO'S DISCRIPTION OF YORIMITSU SO PERFECT!!

I ADORED how it was done so much!! and how Yorimitsu acted was so fun!! his personality was so fiery and willing, and boy does he have those Minamoto genetics, you can thank this sexy man for Teru's beautiful self!

okay but like, everyone has to agree his design?????so fucking beautiful?????and WOW THE PONY???? AND HIS BANG PEICES???

THE DESIGN THEY CHOSE FOR HIM?? it's so so fucking stunning, I've seen stunning Yorimitsu designs before but WOAH did AidaIro go all out for their Yorimitsu!! and I am over the TOP for what they did for his sleeves and armor!! the classic tbhk Minamoto style and typical Yorimitsu attire? so perfect?? and I'd say the take on the Oē Mountain slaying (I believe it was?) was so effortlessly PERFECT!! and honestly with the backstory I wasn't really surprised because this is all something I could have guessed before with what I've seen/read and the artwork but it WAS SUCH AN AMAZING READ!!!

and boy was the way he treated an Oni like Hakubo, well, unnatural? that's such an interesting touch on Yorimitsu!! he is such a chance guy, but he knows he could take care of him if he needed too, but that trust was something Hakubo hasn't been shown :(

ALSO BACK TO YORIMITSU'S DESIGN(I know I keep coming back to it but shush)

after we finally got him in the manga panels I was over joyed, but after a few weeks, I started wondering when our official coloring would be? because as much as people didn't really color him there were still colorings and I had ideas from other Yorimitsu designs and color pallettes I've seen, but couldn't exactly decide what AidaIro would go for, BUT BOY WAS I NOT EXPECTING AIDAIRO TO GO FOR THE RED AND WHITE COLOR SCHEME?? ITS SO PERFECT AND ACCURATE AND BEAUTIFUL AND OML

WE ALL KNEW YORIMITSU WOULD HAVE GOLD ACCENTS BUT OMG DID THEY TURN OUT SO MUCH PRETTIER THEN I EXPECTED??? HE SLAYS SO BADDDD

THOSE ICY BLUES OMYGOSH!!!!😳😳 THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!! I already adored Teru's blue eyes so I couldn't wait for Yorimitsu's, BUT THEY TURNED OUT SO MUCH MORE STUNNING THEN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT!!! (also side note I rly liked Hakubo's working outfit colors)

and his spikey👏ass👏HAIR?👏👏👏looks so good tied up!!

and again, his interactions with Hakubo were AMAZING!

it's so amazing to see on page, and he is so silly!! his interactions and the way he treated people I imagine could be blunt at times, but he cares so much!!! and his priorities are to protect, he's so perfect for this manga sjsjjdjd(also the official art with Yorimitsu based on the panel in the right bottom corner was priceless)

his laugh and smile is so cute too?!?!!?!?! and he DOES remind us of Kou huh? so happy Hakubo saw it too!!! weren't we all waiting for him to think of Yorimitsu while fighting Kou?

and he still looking fine asf there????????HAKUBO REMEMBERS HOW HIS PONYTAIL WAS SO JSDHFHDKDNDOJDJDOFNFJJF

okay but actually AidaIro's portrayal of Yorimitsu was literally so amazing like like like

I LOVE HIM!!! DEFINITELY UP IN MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!!
