I keep forgeting how Ash literally saved the entire world. He took down all of mafia and destroyed a mind controlling drug that would've been used to control millions across the world.

I know Titanic is sad, but did you know that in Japan cutting your hair means moving on from the past? Tradition that comes from Edo period, as Samurai would chop their chonmage when they stepped away from their title, starting a new life.
So Eiji's very 90s-grungy hairstyle was a symbolic resource to show his complicated grief from Ash.

okay everything about banana fish is tragic but there’s something ironically funny about eiji leaving Japan to heal from his trauma and instead getting SEVERE PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE immediately upon landing

If I had a nickel for every time a guy is shown to move on from his deceased lover by displaying their photos that he refused to acknowledge, I'd have two nickels
Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Sometimes I see people complaining about Ash and Eiji, saying how they are the definition of queerbait just because they don't do what you would normally expect a mlm couple to do
The thing about mlm ships is that they're too sexualised
You usually know the endgame when you see two boys having unexplainable sexual tension and it doesn't even take long to get them there, usualy by third chapter
Now, there are some good anime that potray healthy and normal mlm relationships, but people now mostly just read BL manhwa where relationships are mostly toxic or done for fanservice
And then fans like that decide to watch Banana Fish because someone told them they have a cute relationship (they usually ignore TWs but whatever) and decide to shit over them because they didn't even have a proper kiss like???
Do they need to fuck on screen to prove their love
Sometimes we forget that most of BL boys are young and sure, boys IRL do think about sex a lot but they also have feelings and want to love which most media doesn't show
Ash had trauma that could have been healed (maybe not comepletely, but enough to at least try and live a normal life) if he decided to live, but he didn't, and we can't just know what he would've done with Eiji if he went to Japan
Eiji is sweet and shy, we don't see much from his perspective, and we also don't really know much about him and why he was interested in Ash from the very beginning, you could describe it him being mysterious or it's just author's laziness lol (motives might be better explained in the manga where Eiji is a little more realistic to real boys)
And then you see those two just enjoying each other's presence and say YEAH THATS QUEERBAIT
???
When did it become unusual for two people to just enjoy having each other, it's not like you and your partner have this akward sexual tension moment every single second of your time lmao.

bakugou is the type of guy that guesses who the killer is every time you watch crime shows with him.
just blurts it out at the beginning of the episode and ends up getting it right every time at the end, basically spoiling it.
same thing if you guys are watching crime documentaries or listening to murder podcasts. just pointing out little details that give the case away and it has you both bickering back and forth about it like if it were an actual case you two are working on.
a little bonus for AITA podcasts, he gossips about it with you and has the same reactions while listening to the story. and answers if they are the asshole or not like if he was the one on the podcast.
the wedding ones are one of his favorites because he likes to see when you get heated over some shitty thing some random mother in law or bridesmaid did that ruined the wedding for the bride.
making the mental note when you let slip some specific details you’d like in your wedding while you get lost in your rant. making sure to remember them for the day he proposes and starts wedding planning with you.
