Silver and Blaze are not "Tanabata-coded" in any meaningful way. The idea has been repeated ad nauseam by a certain shipper who got it in her head years ago, but repetition doesn't make it accurate. If you're going to invoke Tanabata, the emphasis should be on the core of that story, the importance and emotional weight of the characters' meeting, then separation. That isn't present in 06. It doesn't treat their meeting as a focal point. There's no buildup to it, no narrative significance, no sense of destined reunion or tragic separation that characterizes the legend. Silver and Blaze are presented and introduced as longtime allies from the same future timeline. Clearly, the game positions Blaze as fully from Silver's world and storyline, not her own separate dimension, and her sacrifice is key here. She wouldn't have made that sacrifice at all if she was still intended to be the guardian of the Sol Emeralds from the Sol Dimension in 06's context as well. Any alternate interpretations to reconcile this, such as Blaze being reincarnated into the Sol Dimension are just alternate ideas with no direct support in the games and therefore don't support the Tanabata narrative, making the 06/Silvaze version of Blaze essential exist in a creative vacuum separate from all other depictions of Blaze. And if she no longer remembers Silver post-06, that strongly undermines any attempt to frame their relationship as echoing Tanabata's eternal, star-crossed lovers narrative as well. And another thing is, Silver and Blaze never had those feelings for each other. Never stated, never implied, never portrayed, not even a vibe, if we're being honesf. What is, is something directly contrary. An explicitly familial view. Silvaze fans are always making desperate attempts to inject random literary symbolism into a ship that simply doesn't support it. It's one of the most forced fan readings out there, which is constent with the general tone of Silvaze shipping.
