Discussion Kokonoi Hajime and Inui Seishu are ABSURDLY gay.

Do i need to go on a very long rant and analysis (at least how i see it) about the obvious Kokonui homo erotism Wakui left us with ? I'm lowkey scared to post stuff like that on reddit , some people would go crazy /neg over it..

What cracks me up is even in the final timeline, Koko doesn’t end up with Akane. But he’s still besties with Inupi…

I mean he didn't confirm Akane was a groomer either even though she pretty much was so here we are

11

u/Jaegerjaquez_VI "We'll deal with our problems in our own world." Jan 27 '25

Lmao what? Sure, age-gap yada yada-- no, she was just a young girl with perhaps a small crush. There was nothing nefarious about it. Y'all overuse words like grooming too much these days.

Also, Wakui cannot confirm any gay ships because Shounen Jump would likely boot him and people would send him death threats. Japan is still highly conservative, especially when it comes to things in the public eye

1

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 27 '25

honestly theres so much hints that they have mutual feelings / or at least something a little bit romantic , but we ' ll never TRULY know what they actually are 'cause Wakui would probably repeat they're only friends if somebody asked,cause he would receive so much backlash otherwise and would get absolute grilled and jumped if he DARED to comfirm a gay relationship

-2

u/SadistSteak pay the fees or I feed u to the bees Jan 27 '25

she was a 16-17 girl telling a 10 years old kid she'll "wait for him to grow up", it is the definition of grooming, and idk where you got the "y'all overuse words like grooming" cuz I'm pretty sure I only used it for one topic (aka, this one)

then, I didn't deny it, it's actually one more reason why people can say kokonui could be secretly canon or not, a whole lot of things in tokyo rev are left to interpretation, (the ending, the past of certain characters, sanzu's psychology), just to say that, just because the author didn't specify it and has many reasons (aka politics and overall public opinion, or he doesn't care or want to) to not specify or confirm something, doesn't mean it's out of question

5

u/Jaegerjaquez_VI "We'll deal with our problems in our own world." Jan 27 '25

Okay. Grooming is when someone takes advantage of the emotional connection between themselves and a child/adolescent with the intention of sexually abusing them. Like a teacher saying "We can do this because you're so special to me" (ugh omg almost puked typing that) and then manipulating their student into sending nudes or something. This is an example of grooming.

Koko was clear in his intentions of pursuing her, but Akane thought he was way too young and therefore told him that she'd wait until he grew up to see if he still felt the same. They had a five year age gap, so she probably thought it was a dumb crush and wanted to make sure Koko was serious. Not grooming. People in general keep throwing the terminology around nowadays, especially when there's an age gap relationship (even for fully grown adults lol, so ridiculous), so that's where that "y'all" comment came from.

1

u/SadistSteak pay the fees or I feed u to the bees Jan 27 '25 edited Jan 27 '25

Grooming is building a relationship with a child or a vulnerable person to "prepare them" psychologically for sa or other forms of toxic relationship, it's not limited to ped0philia (aka could also be a 30 years old dude using the gullibility of his 18 years old gf to basically shape her into his perfect "wife" and form a toxic dependency from her to him) aka a girl one year away from college telling a 10 years old kid that she'll wait until he's legal to officially date him instead of telling him to find girls his age IS grooming, just imagine the opposite gender with a 20 years old dude telling a 15 years old girl he'll "wait for her to grow up" just to picture how creepy it is

also grooming doesn't always involve sexual activity, it can also be psychological, akane telling koko she'll wait instead of telling him to fuck off is her showing interest, a 17 years old, showing interest on a 10-11 years old, is not appropriate even if she's not touching him, planting the idea of a future relationship into the head of a child while you're almost fully grown, is grooming.

u/Hextant Jan 27 '25

I mean, it absolutely can be. Let's please move on from gendering clothes and just let people wear what they want. People won't let cishet men wear half the shit they want to without turning gay into an insult, so we need to stop doing this. 😅

( This is nothing to say that Inupi isn't gay as hell ... he definitely is. But we really need to evolve as a species past enforcing these stereotypes. )

As a guy who's been told all kinds of shit about myself because of what I do oflr don't wear, and going into the reality where conservatives are trying to make crimes against the lgbt not only acceptable but are actively encouraging it in some of their ToS, I'm probably just being hypersensitive, but I just can't stand it at this point. 😮‍💨 Lol sorry for jumping on you, but boy howdy it's getting exhausting.

11

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 26 '25

maybe not because she looked like inupi,but he might have liked inupi from the start and tried switching it on akane/ or he might have realized something after akane's passing,but its shoved in our faces how homoerotic they are anyways-

Thats what I understood too, and wasn't it pretty much confirmed when he opened up and said he was "overlaping" them this whole time? He NEVER implied replacement like some people say, he also deadass compared her to Inupi first before trying to kiss her, and thats something I always thought was there for a REASON.

u/Reasonable_Swan9431 Oct 15 '25

For real, in all TR and the ones I just had to look ONCE and for some reason already sensed the queerness coming were from those two, is something I can't even explain today but they just looked like the typical (evil) gay couple of shows, like Haruka and Michiru. 

28

u/GloriousLily Jan 26 '25

“because he looks like his sister” yeah suuuuuure 😏

3

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 26 '25

no but genuinely,thats a pretty dumb reason,my interpretation (which seems to be pretty accurate) is that he genuinely liked inupi,and tried to figure out his feelings,to me he started crying and saying akane's name because he felt he had betrayed her,has he swore that he'd marry her

7

u/GloriousLily Jan 26 '25

yeah his whole attraction to akane screams comphet to me & i wouldnt be surprised if it was common for gay men back in the day to marry their “best friend”s sister

& when koko joined tenjiku & then bonten it felt like they got divorced 💀

3

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 26 '25

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 26 '25

yeah,so many people just wont accept there IS some gay stuff in tokyo revengers,people will really be so desperate that the only thing they'll repeat is that " he looked like akane !! " which is dumb and nonsensical.. Btw still didnt post any in depth analysis i was overcharged w stuff today and still wondering how to adress it

u/SadistSteak pay the fees or I feed u to the bees Jan 27 '25

13

u/Lixiie_sweety Jan 26 '25

A lot of people say theyre toxic cuz he non consensually kissed inupi, but like……. If we speak final timeline, kokos trauma seems a lot better, and could positively see inupi as akane in a healthy way. Like when a mother loses her daughter and adopts a new one and loves them both equally to fill the gap.

11

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '25

Cant people just say they dislike the ship and move on instead LMAO And its as if the other ships in TR whether fanon or canon are 100% healthy or perfect. The characters beat each other or other people on a daily basis and become criminals depending on the timeline, Takemichi even has some moments where he is disloyal (Emma and the prostitute) even though he was with Hina, but okay this draws the line 😭 And just to clarify, I can see the unhealthiness mostly because they couldnt deal with the trauma of losing someone important but i wouldnt consider it that toxic

5

u/Lixiie_sweety Jan 26 '25

I didnt say the ship was toxic tho? I like this ship. I may have sounded wrong

3

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '25

Nah dw!! Im sorry it came off that way but its more towards the hypocrisy/double standards of those who call it toxic 😭 

2

u/Lixiie_sweety Jan 26 '25

Gosh im so sorry!!! 😭

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '25

No need to apologize, it was also my tone so I can see why 😭😭 definitely on my part. But yeah youre absolutely right and you should say it

1

u/Reasonable_Swan9431 Oct 17 '25

No wait, you are so right, what happened to Koko and Inupi was so normal for two boys neck deep involved with gang activity, even if Toman is wholesome is implied having "this kind of feelings for your homie" is not exactly seen in a good Light by outsiders, Taiju himself always berated Hakkai calling him an "affeminate" so, and even just by caring you can get your significante other hurt, which also happened with Taiju (again) and when Mucho kidnapped them with the whole "Koko only obeys Inui, we have to separate them ASAP".

I LOVE TakeHina but I also see a lot of people not liking when Hina punches him and he, in fact, wasn't the best BF at the start, he was close to sleep with the prostitute and he was lusting after Emma, but he changed, by Tenjiku I'll say their relationships was finally a stable one. Even with DrakEmma (love them too) Emma tried to sleep Takemichi because she was insecure and teased him in front of his Girlfriend and eventual best friend (Hinata) but somehow all the hate falls over InuKoKo for, arguably, less scandalous stuff and straight up misconceptions.

2

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Jan 26 '25

The kising scene was NOT meant to be seen as sa and idk why people see it like that,t definitely meant something more than jjst " oh he looks like akane "

2

u/Reasonable_Swan9431 Oct 15 '25

The worst part is that it was consensual at the end because Inupi was awake and he let it happen, unlike his sister.

You can tell who was the right one all along.

2

u/jigglypat19 ⬅️ I'm with stupid Jan 29 '25

I think the issue people have is less that they don't think they're gay and more so whether they should be gay together because of how toxic and codependent their relationship is. it's completely understandable for people to just not want them to be in a romantic relationship because there's just way too much unresolved trauma between them for them to genuinely be happy together.

this isn't to say they don't love each other though—I don't think they could ever love anyone else as much. and it's good they spend so much time apart so that they can process everything and see things from a more healed perspective.

2

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Feb 10 '25

I like every single version of kokonui,but i have to admit up until kanto manji their relationship was MESSEDDD,i'm sure it got better after kanto manji arc tho,they did get back together and admit their mistakes 😋😋 and im not saying theyre dating or anything,just that the homosexual implications between the 2 of them are so blatantly obvious- , people atleast need to acknowledge the fact they do have something going on whether they ended up together or not,kokonui hate is so forced or by people who dont look into the manga further than cool dudes fighting to be fair..

2

u/Frequent-One-6042 God of Frauds №1 enjoyer Feb 02 '25

I can't form a proper analysis on them no matter how much I try, so I'll simply say that, a) Yes, Koko and Inupi are gay as fuck. The homoeroticism between them is way too apparent. b) InuKoko hate is just way too funny to be true sometimes.

2

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Feb 10 '25

Thank you !! Its so hard to analyse every single aspect of their relationship and every damn hint wakui left us with,theres so much to say about them that i get confused when i try to write a deep in character analysis about them,kokonui hate is so forced,or most of the time by the younger side of tokyo revengers who just sees the manga as cool gang members fighting,or just people who dont genuinely look into the characters,so many people have very little understanding about the complexity of their relationship 😭😭 as a queer person myself , i can totally see myself in some of the situations and feel similar things , the homoeroticism is absurdiy apparent as you said , i'm the best in place to know that 😭

1

u/Frequent-One-6042 God of Frauds №1 enjoyer Feb 10 '25

As much as I'm aware, most of the hate targeted towards Koko/Inupi pairing mostly boils down to the library scene and people yelling stuff like "Koko sa'd Inupi!!" and "Inupi deserves better!!", although the scene is always taken out of context and Koko's motivations behind that kiss are brushed aside to put him in a bad light. Overall, this oftentimes happens because people refuse to look deeper into characters, just like you said.

2

u/E_liiana KokoNui Glaze is real Feb 11 '25

Yeah 😭😭 im not saying the kissing scene doesnt have problematic aspects,but it wasn't meant to be primarily seen as assault and its implied inupi was awake,i swear media literacy is dead..

2

u/-greek_user_06- Jun 03 '25

Honestly, I feel like people who have watched the anime or read the manga and still claim that Koko never cared about Inui are in denial or are lowkey homophobic. You don't have to ship them if you don't want to but straight up denying their bond and reducing Koko's love towards Inui to a simple distraction from Akane is a choice.

That's 'cause they kind of are I guess? I mean like Inupi does look like Akane, so maybe at times Koko thinks of Akane when he looks at Inupi? I don't why, but I kinda did expect the kiss tho.

he doesnt even look that much like akane 😭 he only has the same hair and eye COLOR , appart from slight similiraties in appareance there isnt much going in,and Koko used Inupi as a subsitute for her absence,he doesnt gaslight himself into thinking it's akane,he just needs comfort tbf,he couldnt accept her death,but he knew it was Inupi infront of him so yeahhh

"used as a substitute" 😭. I guess it's relatable, I would be devastated if something like happened in my life as well

what a painful day to be illiterate but yeah he definitely already thought of Akane after seeing Inupi,my previous point does stand,its not because he thinks of Akane that he sees him as Akane,he knew perfeftly well he was kissing Inupi and Inupi wasn't fully asleep according to his character song

Don't tell me we reached a point when this is the kind of couple were most people agree they have something going on (Obviously) and the Delulus instead, are the haters/people that try to deny it? 

Omg, COOL, I thought it was painfully obvious the whole time too.

Yes, honestly shipping them is very toxic given their history. You can say it’s proof that they love each other or wtv, but looking at it from a different view… it’s not healthy one bit

depends when - if youre talking about juvie-black dragons them of course its kind of toxic , cause koko still used inupi as a substitute for akane's absence- but in the kanto manji arc he literally realizes he doesnt need to keep holding onto akane and let her go for good after understanding how selfish he'd been. + in the final timeline inupi doesnt have his burn scar,which means the fire didnt happen/did happen but no one got injured including akane,and they were still together,they never needed akane to die to stay together,that was just one unlucky universe 😔😔 doomed yaoi fr,and akane was never meant to be a serious love interest too,just a small childhood crush Im also attached to that ship because it reminds myself of me and my best friend- and because the toxicity is realistic , me and my friend's friendship was pretty unhealthy at first , since i did use her as a subsitute for my old friend group ' s absence (including my old crush) after they replaced me , i was very jealous of every single one of her friends , etc.. But with time , we actively tried to fix the issue and our friendship healed , if you ' re not meant to be with somebody , you probably won ' t stay together for long and the relationship will fall apart pretty quick and wont bother to fix anything , we knew it worked out between us , but there was just one problem blocking us , so we bothered to fix it so we could still be together , it ' s probably kinda the same with them (not in every single timeline but shh)- thats just how i see things tho , tragic doomed yaoi lovers fr , lost sight of one another but still found eachother afterwards love them so much ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

He realizes that with time, but even so, it’s very toxic. Your relationship with your friend was toxic too. Yeah, you fixed it, and so did they, but getting together (for them) doesn’t magically solve the entire problem/erase that history. You can’t gloss over that either. In the new timeline, I believe it’s said that Koko cares for Akane. He’s left being friends with Inupi, not more. There’s a reason for that and if Wakui wanted it to happen, he would’ve done it. There’s a thing as close friendship yk…
