Honestly both.
But it doesn't matter since Saika is the best everything anyway.


The fact that this has been going on forever and that there'll be no resolution (?) is what grinds me.
It's saddening that Saika's potential as a character will only amount to this.

"Traps"/androgynous persons as a character type exist for the sake of that joke. Thus, Saika is really achieving all the potential such a character is made for.


Just because you only watched shows that do this shit it doesn't mean it has to be like this.

Personally I find the SaikaXhachiman moments hilarious. How can anyone dislike them?


Too repetitive and as I said before I hate when they simply use this kind as character as a joke.

I guess that for most of other people it would be what Red_Keys said.

Is Hachiman gay ? I mean, he basically faps when he sees Totsuka, but his only reaction to Yui getting closer to him is annoyance, I know he should be generally disinterested in everything and his banter with Yukino is just the way those two talk, but TBH the more he talks about Totsuka(in a rather creepy way) and the more he shows general dislike towards the two main heroins actually makes him look like he is a closed homosexual, and not just a person who is afraid of making friends.


Hachiman's behavior towards Totsuka is a crucial part of his character, so listen up.
Hachiman is definitely not gay. Actually, he's drooling over Totsuka precisely because he is not gay.
Let's take a look at Hachiman's past. Countless times, he had gotten the wrong idea that a girl might like him, countless times, he had fallen for a girl, countless times, he had been rejected in a cruel manner. Especially the "getting the wrong idea" part played a big role in his "I hate nice girls" monologue in episode 5, season 1.
If Hachiman started thinking about a girl in that same fashion as he does about Totsuka, he'd fall in love with her, confess and get rejected. Then that girl will avoid him. Again, he would be hurt. It's a pattern he's experienced over and over. Whenever romance enters his life, things don't end well.
But this cannot happen with Totsuka. Totsuka is a guy. No matter how many times Hachiman will look at his cute figure, no matter how many times he fantasizes about him, he will not develop actual romantic interest towards Totsuka. Therefore, he won't confess. Therefore, he won't get rejected. Drooling over Totsuka is a safe option for Hachiman.

If you have any more questions about any part of the series, feel free to ask. Understanding what the characters are doing and why they're doing it is important in order to enjoy this series in full. And that's sometimes tricky to figure out, so ask away.


Let me just give +1s to Ragix, Lancehot, deanzel and Comic_Sans for the lols.

It's just a recurring gag, like how the teacher in S1 kept hitting Hachiman whenever he was lazy-sarcastic. Might as be something akin to a parody of Hagnai and every other rom-com with a ladyboy.

...but I'd totally toss that salad if Hachiman was gay. He'd be my kind of gay, for sure.

My thought's exactly the same, I won't repost my whole response to that "analysis", but my conclusion is: Season 1 Hachiman clearly liked girls, and Seika was just an overused gag that stopped being funny after the third time, season 2 Hachiman doesn't look like he's in to vaginas.

Ppsssh.....Hiki is just strange. Every straight guy will fall for that confusing trap :D. Though....it would make more sense if that "TRAP!" turned out to be some girl trying to be a boy to get closer to hiki or something. Would make an awesome plot twist.

This. It is a pretty common anime trope too. It doesn't have to have some deeper meaning than being a joke or something that appeals to some niche of viewers.

Cuz the author knows that the nerdom is full of a lot of fags who thinks traps are amusing and thinks they're funny when they say they "gay" for a trap. Its cool if you're actually gay or whatever but these people think they're funny and they're really not.

I mean there are stories where a relationship with a trap is actually taken pretty seriously (such as Genshiken 2) and I'm perfectly okay with that, but to have it in there just to get some shits and giggles from fags is so bleh.

It's just a running joke of the series and is not meant to be taken seriously as some have mentioned as it is not taken seriously in the show. If you wish to take it seriously then all the power to you, but the real romance is between the club.

have to agree with you there...... Course I say bs on totsuka being a guy....theres no way a guy that cute isn't a girl. Now the true question is Totsuka using that deadly cuteness on purpose.....I think he is after that train scene. No way was that a natural reaction
“How strange and foolish is man. He loses his health in gaining wealth. Then, to regain his health he wastes his wealth. He ruins his present while worrying about his future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him, but dies in a way as if he were never born”

Because people who like Hachiman have to struggle with their own homophobia and can't stand that a character they like shows homosexual tendencies and ideation. Their mind can't wrap around it, so it vents out as either petty frustration, or desperate dismissal and rationalization.

agree
there's nothing wrong with liking saika, cuz he's even cuter than girls, and aren't 'annoying' like some girls are. there's no reason to not like him. plus, gay means preferring guys over girls, and hachiman hasn't shown any signs of liking males (other than saika)

Saika and Hachiman moments are used for comic purposes in this anime and it is unlikely it will develop further than that.

The two main routes so far are well marked with a decent amount of progress on both. Although it does sound like another route will be added the lack of progression with Saika so far makes it very unlikely for that to be suddenly become serious.

I don't understand why people think Yui or Yukino hate Hachiman as although they do sometimes appear outwardly cold to him the reason for them getting annoyed recently is the way he resolves problems is by making himself look shit. Getting annoyed at that is obviously a sign they care for him.

Tl;dr: Yukino is gonna win (if there is a winner)
One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready.
