Too Basara To Live

Kasuga is obviously madly in love with Kenshin 

seriously have you seen how she acts towards Kenshin?

Kenshin’s love is a bit more subtle but still adores her, and it’s quite easily picked up on throughout the various SenBasa media- especially evident in the stage plays, where the two have a “couple off” with Toshiie and Matsu

given Kenshin’s gender (the creators refuse to say whether Kenshin is a man or woman) it can be any sort of ship you want. Can be traditional het, can be sapphic/lesbian, can even be nb and a woman. That’s without going into complete-headcanons regarding Kasuga’s gender of course.

in the anime Kenshin flat out overrode Kasuga’s role as bodyguard to shield her from Nouhime’s assault. I mean. Kasuga’s job is to protect Kenshin, and Kenshin was like “nope, I love this woman too much, throwin’ her out of the way and taking those spicy bullets”

they would raise wonderful children together (conjecture, but, with Kenshin’s upright moral character and Kasuga’s love, they really would)

it’s been stated that Kasuga can’t sleep comfortably unless she’s in Kenshin’s arms – so we know they literally sleep in the same bed together

Keiji ships them together, and we know that boy’s got a good head on his shoulders

then there’s Kasuga’s main story ending in Sumeragi where Shingen scolds Kenshin for making Kasuga worry (Kasuga though Kenshin died and ran off to avenge her lord before Kenshin could be properly checked out; at least that’s how I understood it); and then Kasuga flying tackles Kenshin and they cuddle on the floor while Shingen watches with a big ol’ grin – so it seems like Shingen supports it too

even Sasuke has said he recognizes the relationship they share and feels happy for Kasuga- but ; protective much?

so that’s THREE cool guys who support it

Kenshin thinks about taking up both Motochika and Sorin’s offers to go on a cruise or go to Xaviland– with Kasuga

i could go on and i will if you ask me to but

This may the single weirdest thing I have ever translated but I think at this point the places where it doesn’t make sense are faithfully representing the lack of sense of the source

I keep thinking about how similar these two nerds actually are.  Whoops I’m back into Sengoku Basara hello everyone.

Where do I start? I’ll never forgive KobaP for releasing so much information during my business trip; he’s had months to do this! Please forgive me for all of the comments I haven’t responded to; I’ve been reading and enjoying them and can’t wait to have some free time to write replies. My previous post has been updated with the last few details from Thursday’s big gameplay news reveal and it’s probably best to read through that first if you haven’t already, otherwise some of these gameplay details won’t make much sense. Preorder details for Sengoku Basara: Sanada Yukimura-den The preorder listings are now live and there are a few different versions, though thankfully not as many as there have been for previous games. All boxed editions of the game come with two bonuses so long as you place your order early enough.
