Just Kitamura being completely unfazed over Ami getting slapped in the face. How many times had Ami been hit before? I know Ami can be cruel but she still doesn’t deserve to get hit, he should show at least a little concern for her.

Similarities between two high school romcom animes: Toradora and More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers
1. Main boy loves girl. Main girl loves boy.
2. Both wind up being roped in each others business and end up helping each other out with their crushes.
3. Both wind up in scenarios where they have the chance to flirt with their crush, but slowly start to realize they are starting to fall for each other.
4. Main guy’s crush has a crush on him too, but Main girl’s boy doesn’t reciprocate her feelings.
5. To some degree, the idea of marriage is involved in both their relationships.

With Aoi defeated, now it is Spectre vs. Yusaku.
Spectre technically defeated Kitamaru before Aoi, so much like Revolver, he has two Duel count before Yusaku, but we didn't see Duel with Kitamura fully, so it is not that important.

Fandom: Toradora
Sample Size: 71 stories (AO3) and 62 stories (FF)
Sources: AO3 (top) and FF (bottom)
Notes:
1) There are more Toradora stories overall on FF (345 total stories) than on AO3 (80 total stories), which is why I decided to use both sources instead of just AO3. However, there are more shipping stories on AO3 (71 stories) than FF (62 stories).
2) DO NOT COMPARE COLORS BETWEEN CHARTS - I only use one color palette for shipping charts.

Character Analysis: Yuusaku Kitamura from Toradora
**spoilers ahead**
(I’ve been making character analysis posts about all 5 Toradora protagonists; here’s Taiga’s and Ami’s)
To start off my post about Kitamura, I want to talk about one of my favorite episodes in the entire show, One Step Forward, where Taiga confronts Kano Sumire. While this might seem like a Taiga-centered scene, that’s almost completely wrong; Taiga does pretty much nothing of note/out of character in this episode. The entire focus is on Kano and her feelings (after she and Taiga beat each other up, of course), and Kitamura hearing her message to him at the end, which makes me cry every time.
Something I mentioned in my WIL Toradora post is that this show does a great job portraying the difference between actual love and infatuation. While it is obvious that Taiga’s crush on Kitamura is more her putting him on a pedestal than her actually knowing him, it’s also true that Kitamura’s prior crush on Taiga was a similar situation. When he talks to Ryuji about how he used to like Taiga, Kitamura says things like “I heard of this beautiful girl in another class” “I liked her attitude” “I really wanted to get a girlfriend”. None of which indicate he actually knew Taiga at all. It’s why he was easily able to ‘get over’ her after she rejected him; because he barely knew her in the first place.
But Kitamura actually got to spend time with and get to know Kano through seeing her every day after school, which is a much more realistic and believable way of falling in love with someone. And this is clearly his first real experience with these deeper feelings, based on how poorly he handled the idea of her moving to America.
This whole show features characters going through self-reflection and becoming truer versions of themselves as the story goes on, and Kitamura is no exception. As the class rep, school VP, and overall nice guy, Kitamura is constantly putting up a wall between him and his classmates in the form of fancy titles and responsibility. He finally shows his true colors in One Step Forward and the episodes leading up to it, and as a result he becomes more comfortable with himself and his own feelings. And funnily enough, this is about when Taiga starts to feel more comfortable around Kitamura because she starts to lose feelings for him.
Kitamura is a very underrated character, both within Toradora and in anime in general, so I hope this post makes you appreciate him a little bit more. Thanks for reading!
