you know, i’ve been at this school for around three years now and i’m starting to think that maybe this campus might be a little wacky, a little nutso if you will
I’m glad they were never any more than friends. Asuka may have had a crush on him, I will begrudgingly accept that that was true at some point in the series, but he didn’t ever return those feelings. He saw her as a good friend and great duelist and she was satisfied with that. It’s nice. More male female friendships please!
