With all the fan-made pairings in various Sentai shows, especially Dekaranger and Shinkenger, I think a girl with girl pairing, with Mako and Kotoha comes the closest to being "hinted upon," at least in Kotoha's mind. At least it is somewhat hinted in the recent Shinkenger V-cinema movie that Kotoha might have a bit of a crush on Mako.
For those who haven't seen the V-Cinema movie (Shinkenger Returns), the Shinkengers are trapped in a dream state in which they go from one illusion to the next. These "illusions" are based somewhat off of tv dramas and movies. In Kotoha's illusion, she disguises herself as a boy in order to attend an all boys school. The reason why is because she was in love with Shiraishi-kun (a.k.a. Mako, it's her surname). Mako in this scene is a boy, and Kotoha is about to "confess" her love for Mako, when Genta, Chiaki, Ryuunosuke, and Takeru reveal that they're also girls disguised as boys. If you haven't seen this scene and a little confused, in this scene everybody's gender is switched except for Kotoha's. Later on towards the end of this movie, it is somewhat hinted that these illusions may have been their "deepest desire." Especially when Ryuunosuke is questioned about his illusion. So that made me think, does Kotoha really have a crush on Mako and is afraid to admitt it? Maybe she feels guilty about having a crush on another girl, which may be why Mako is a boy in this scene. Kotoha has been known to have one-sided crushes before, particularly on Takeru and Chiaki.
THANK YOU! This is one of my favorite Shinkenger pairings, my favorite being Takeru and Kotoha. But Sailor Moon had Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune as an unofficial couple, so why not sentai?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the dream sequence was about Kotoha's feelings towards the shinkenger boys, since all of of the boys in that scene wanted Shiraishi-kun--especially Takeru. Maybe Kotoha feels she'll never end up with Takeru because everyone seems to admire Mako, including her, and the fact that Kotoha was in disguise was because she might wear a mask of her true feelings--to either Mako or Takeru. Maybe masking her jealousy or wish to make a move. Okay, I'm analyzing it too much.
I kinda felt Chiaki had a begrudging thing for Kotoha, the way he tenderly carried her on his back all the while calling her an idiot.
ReplyDeleteChiaki and Kotohha
ReplyDeleteand Mako and Takeru
are the best pairing
totally amazing!!!!!
Takeru is the one who mostly loved shirashi - kun aka mako and how he basically loved mako in the show and kotoha was kinda of little sister to takeru and kotoha and chaiki because Chiaki have a crush on kotoha and takeru seems to have a crush mako so overall takeru and mako and kotoha and chaiki.
