Ore Monogatari!! Episode 14 Discussion

This is pretty much how I feel about the show in general, minus the size difference part from the quote haha. Yes, there's a lot exaggerating, but I just find it amusing due to being very appreciative of couples with large size differences. I'm still enjoying this series very much and I'm one of the people who love it for what it is.

I'm still not feeling Oda, regardless. With anyone having doubts (and someone called him creepy), I'd say they weren't wrong to feel that way. I mean, take Ai, who already rejected him. So instead of accepting that, he pursues her again, only to try and know more about the guy he was rejected for. After that, he plans to get her into confessing to her crush, something she was clearly uncomfortable and not eager to do. (I mean, Takeo is in a relationship now so there'd be no point if the goal was to cause some damage between them and maybe even Takeo and Yamato when she comes around again) Note, Oda is too concerned about Ai whereas he's still thinking of himself. He says it to himself in the beginning of the episode. "How will I ever get a chance, if you don't settle this?" I understand he wants her to find closure and have her head filled less with Takeo, but either way he had his chance and she declined him, so end of story. That's legit creepy to keep going after her, but some people aren't seeing that so well. They're a bit too clouded by him showing his own selfish desires under the disguise being 'considerate' and 'nice'. The intentional act of him making sure Takeo's phone would be dead later wasn't even cute, imo. Ai's right, he's kinda horrible to that degree. I don't hate Oda or anything. He's just incredibly shady and doesn't really deserve to be with Ai. He came back to dig into business that didn't even concern him. His feelings are one sided anyway and she just sees him like an acquaintance.

Personally, since Suna is supposed to be so perceptive, I was kinda waiting on him to call Oda out his shit, but I guess things would seem dicey with Yamato still being around so he decided to keep quiet and not get into business he likely didn't feel like getting in between. At least that's what I imagined, anyways.

Aside from that, Suna might seem like a 3rd wheel at times, but I guess if Yamato and Takeo are perfectly fine with him being in their company (minus the accidental times of them about to share a kiss), then I've got no complaints. People stating he needs to find a girl though....haha, please no. He seems fine just the way he is and since he stated relationships are a hassle to deal with, that's that. It's rather uncool to want to shove a character into something they clearly have no interest in dealing with. I feel a lot people tend to forget about the types of individuals who aren't interested in relationships, romantic/sensual love and all that. Even a character who can be suspected to be asexual, people still wanna cram them into pairings or having sexual relationships with others character who showed even a little interest in them instead of it being a mutual interest on all sides.

Wow, this got long, but I don't get to see enough people talking about certain things enough so reading certain comments so far just made me uncomfortable.

Ehh. It didn't seem so bad in the last episode, but the way Oda went about things in this episode was too much. Lying to the group and deliberately sabotaging the trip... I mean, it's one thing to encourage Ai to confess, but you can't force someone to do so, and the degree of pressure he was putting on her wasn't appropriate.

It made me annoyed with him more so than sympathetic to him.

Also, I hadn't thought about it this way, but even though we as viewers know that it's highly unlikely Takeo would betray Yamato, Oda doesn't know that. Intentionally throwing a wrench at someone else's relationship is really in bad taste.

For once, I'm actually glad someone didn't confess.

remember what Oda said to Takeo when Takeo asked what will Oda do if Ai's crush did reciprocate her feelings? he said that it'd be for the best and he'd just be happy he's not trying to be the rebound all he wanted was for Ai to have closure on something she's never gonna get. do you want Ai to forever be alone pursuing some unattainable thing for the rest of her life?

Oda wasn't even forcing Ai to confess, all he's doing is providing her the setting she needs the confessing part is still decided by Ai.

Haha there's a such thing as someone not having intentions to confess to the object of their desire when they're already in a relationship. She was strong enough on her own to get over it when she needs to. If she doesn't decide to have closure, then that's her decision. She didn't ask for his help about it in the least as that was all his idea, taking matters into his hands without even trying to make sure she was comfortable with it (I've stated this and her discomfort & nonacceptance was clear as day). I'm not sure why there's people that think him getting his way isn't at all harmful/disrespectful to any party.

what? Ai wasn't strong strong enough to get over it on her own she clearly shows she's not, shewas fooling herself saying she's gotten over him when it's clear as day even from suna's perspective that she isnt

Ai was hurting and Oda saw that when he saw Ai was crying as she was saying Takaeo's name in the hypnotism that's the whole reason why he even went there..... with your logic you're basically saying what Takeo did to Yamato by slapping the mosquitos in the forest when they got lost was wrong? Yamato didn't ask for Takeo to do all that, Takeo knew that those Mosquito's are going to harm her hence he took the initiative likewise Oda saw that Ai was hurting/crying when she remembers her unrequited love in the hypnotism

Ai DID have 100% of the decision whether if she wants to confess or not in Oda's plan, HE NEVER FORCED HER TO DO THE CONFESSION because all he did was make the setting she needed.
