>I like him because he saved me
Do you like this timeless trope?

>>279703903 (OP)
lol I completely forgot to watch this episode yesterday
I could not care about how this arc concludes any less
wasn't the appeal of this series that it had a bunch of little episodic mysteries where a stolen bike and a dry sink were treated with equal autism?

>>279703903 (OP)
Since the vast majority of these stories do not attempt to be a replica of reality, rewarding the hero with a cute girl serves to add an inspiring ideal to the story. "If you do good things you might be rewarded" is plain, but still uplifting, and I prefer that over a severely dumbed down approach to stoicism or, even worse, salaryman cuckoldry. There is a time and a place for each type of story.

>>279704128
Alright, Urine-kun.

I dunno, this kind of character is just begging you to fall in love with them

>>279703903 (OP)
She liked him a long time before that though

>>279706234
It just feels like this is the first time she's being genuine.

>>279703903 (OP)
I like it a lot. It feels good.

>>279704128
>wasn't the appeal of this series that it had a bunch of little episodic mysteries
There's only like 4 episodic episodes in a 22 episode series, so no

>>279706394
Disregarding the second season which adapted a two-volume arc in seven episodes that I hated most of and then this current arc that either ended yesterday or is ongoing I don't know, and the show is certainly smaller in scope than what it became even if some of the mysteries resolved in two episodes rather than one

>>279706259
Well, mortal danger will do that to you.

I like him because he saved my life>I like him because he was nice to me that one time.

>I like him because... he got his mouth dirty while drinking hot cocoa and eating cake!
Is turning /a/ gay really this easy?

>>279709638
It's not gay if it's Kengod, faggot.

Can personally attest that in the oddly-specific scenario that you do rescue a woman from certain death you are allowed to do ecchi stuff and touch the booba. I would not go about trying to replicate this scenario for several reasons, but it's not a trope.

>>279704128
I kinda like it, but these kids somehow made 9001 mortal enemies during middle school. I want more hot chocolate.

>>279703903 (OP)
I am jealous of kobato I will never have an Osanai in my life. I need her so bad she is literally perfect.

>>279703903 (OP)
>women are obligated to do this charade if a man saves them
no they dont
fucking numales
learn your place
stick to your cartoons

They are badass men

>>279703903 (OP)
You have to consider what it means for Kobato to save someone. He's a guy who throughout the series considered himself to be abnormal, lacking empathy and would never see himself saving anyone in exchange for his own well being.
It shows how important and dear Osanai is to him. And Osanai is someone who understands Kobato the best, so she does know the significance of his actions.

>>279703903 (OP)
Put chocolate on her mouth

>>279710772
>women are obligated to do this charade if a man saves them
nobody said that, shizo-kun

>>279703903 (OP)
speedwatcher-kun..

They don't do it because they want to be thanked, they do it even if it harms them

I finished reading Futari no Kyori no Gaisan, what did I think of it?

>>279708177
It's funny how it happened
>We are together because it's mutually beneficial and nothing else.
>Separate because Jogoro realized she used him for revenge and called her a liar
>Date another guy
>Can't stop comparing him to Jogoro
>Says he is a stopgap until she meets someone better
>Dude sacrifices himself for her
>Wait...
>I like this guy more than my desserts!

Trope: Subverted

>>279713562
This show had a fucked up ending but man was it good

>>279713562
it's not subverted because the girl is made to look like an ungrateful cunt for not sucking her "hero's" dick on the spot

>>279713729
if you didn't watch the extremely popular anime series it's from

>>279713491
That's just growing up, this whole arc had a nice contrast between current and past Kobato. It's quite ironic that they became shoushimin in a way by being together.

>>279713562
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't what happened that the guy intentionally created the dangerous situation she was in so that he could rescue her and then get close to her, but once she realised he was a prick she left in that scene there?

"I like him because x"posting is the lowest form of posting

>>279703903 (OP)
Didn't this bitch say a couple of days ago that Cobalto-lun was the best she could do right now?

>>279715715
She never he'd go that far for her.

>>279715883
Doesn't really matter. Women who say those kinds of things are huge red flags. Might as well stick your dick in lava.

>>279713491
>if she doesn't explicitly state she likes him, she doesn't like him
the reason she is comparing urine to based jogolo is because she likes him and is still hung up on him

>>279704128
>wasn't the appeal of this series that it had a bunch of little episodic mysteries where a stolen bike and a dry sink were treated with equal autism?
yes. that's why I dropped S2.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT URINO and any of this arson grand plot. give me funny episodic shit like Kengo's cocoa

>>279716044
The Urino plot felt so aimless. I understand Jotaro and Osanai falling out and all, especially after que S1 bullshit, so they kinda needed to mend their relationship. But the whole arson arc felt aimless and even unnecessarily cruel by the end.
