xeraph said: I don't understand why this is an "unlikely couple" when there are like 10 pictures here alone pairing these two up, probably a lot more on pixiv.
I want to say because it would be unlikey by canon standards, but then theres Touhou pairings......
Sideswipe said: It's really not as unlikely when you think about his last words. Or thoughts...I dunno.
Thats pretty much the most common idea behind this pairing. I say, the whole "unlikely pairing" thing is pretty subjective in the first place. For instance, Mokou x Kaguya Totally hate each other in canon, yet its not defined as unlikely because everyone is used to seeing it.
I believe it is an unlikely pairing because of his ultimate fate, not because of what he might think.
Also, the unlikely couples tag is described as characters you least expect showing love towards each other. The key words being "show" instead of "feel" and "each other" instead of just "one side".
