Do you think Sarazanmai ending (for the trio) will be like Yuri Kuma Arashi?

Guys, many similarities among Ikuni's works. Especially Sarazanmai since it releases this year and it still continues until around June.
And many references in Ikuni's works that can shadowing Sarazanmai story, especially Utena, Penguindrum, and Yuri Kuma. Even the color theme and eye-hair color pallete for Sarazanmai and Yuri Kuma has the similarities, especially Kazuki and Ginko has the same brunette hair and pinkish brown eyes.
Some theories said that maybe in the end Enta will sacrifice himself for Kazuki and Toi just like Lulu did before. But in other hand maybe some plot twist will be end-game for ToiEnta.

Since Yuri Kuma's genre is really yuri, while Sarazanmai doesn't (rather to be queer like Banana Fish and Yuri on Ice, MAPPA style), it gonna be unpredictable. Maybe for me, the three friends remained be best-friends. No more Golden Duo, but Golden Trio since the three become one.

But i want to know about your opinion about the future for Sarazanmai can be like Yuri Kuma or not?

The genre listing doesn't mean anything imo. There's no guarantee, but romance is still possible.

I'm going to guess there'll be a ToiEnta or Toi/Enta/Kazuki end. You could even have a romantic end of the three, since this is Ikuhara and he pushes boundaries.

Platonic ending is possible, but honestly Sarazanmai is so romance focused and based around desire that I think the ending will involve romance too. Not just Reo and Mabu's, either.

Really? I actually think that Toi/Kazuki seems to be the pairing that's been hinted the most to be endgame...

With the unaddressed blushing from episode 4, the amusement park date, whatever memory Keppi erased from them back in episode 1, the fact that their merch is juxtaposed (they face each other or face away similar to the cops, whereas Enta faces forwards so he can't be "matched" with anyone), the fact that the walking part in the opening mirrors Yurikuma's and Kazuki/Toi are in the same spots as Ginko/Kureha, and how Toi keeps staring at Kazuki's micanga, all suggests that those two have a deeper connection than what we've been shown.

But then again it would be kind of predictable because Ikuhara has always paired the protagonist and the deuteragonist together thus far, and Enta/Toi have a more complex relationship that needs resolving.

I just think their placement is so blatant that I think its less likely, especially since Toi seems to constantly be watching out for Enta - scaring off the bullies, constantly reaching out to him and clearly watching him subtlely and probing for his feelings in many scenes. I think the really big component of why I feel ToiEnta is more likely is that, while Kazuki seems to really like Toi, Toi seems to have some complicated feelings about Kazuki that he hasn't brought up - plus, he has basically said he resents the way Kazuki treats Enta. Since Toi seems so much more focused on Enta vs Kazuki, it's hard to imagine an end for me where that's not addressed.

I think that's because Kazuki is blatant about liking Toi, and Enta is blatant about liking Kazuki, but Toi clearly has more to explore with his appreciation for Enta especially with recent events.

I saw someone jokingly talk about colour theory and how Enta is the only one who has eyes that don't match his colour scheme. Yellow + blue = green. So you can interpret a lot based off the colours, imo.

That said, all three of them are primary colours so that could even signal a 3pair end. Honestly, that's what symbolism has suggested the most, right from the commercials. Seeing as Ikuhara, it's not impossible.

I think Toi/Kazu has the issue for me that there... isn't much to resolve except for the fact it seems Toi is more concerned about Enta. I know Ikuhara is good at character writing though, so if it was endgame he'd make it interesting.

It's more intuition, I suppose. I just feel ToiEnta is where this is leading - especially after Enta's comment last episode: "Since when do you care about me?" <- Toi has been watching Enta all this time and concerned over him. That's obvious from a viewer perspective. How does Enta's perspective change when he realizes this?

Edit: Plus Ikuhara likes suprises, that, while still 'surprising' don't come out of nowhere. I feel that's true here.
I also think Toi/Kazu have more history than shown as of right now, but I don't think that's mutually exclusive either. I'm curious how that turns out

Probably. Episode 8 of Sarazanmai reminded me a lot of episode 11 of Yuri Kuma Arashi, and it looks like is going into that direction.

Maybe this is a good place to post this after watching episode eight but I noticed that, too.
