I feel wrong trying to ship any of the girls to Aqua. So I cant see find any justifiable reason for any of the girls to be with him.

He obviously had a twisted feeling towards AI even after knowing he became her son. Making the other girl's emotion as a tool to be use.

If you are shipping any of the girls towards him - can you tell me why and who?

Personally, I don't like Aqua's personality as he most of the time keeps a fake persona and lies most of the time and uses other people for his personal purpose and not consider their feelings.

but, since he is the MC and there are not any other male decent character of the same age around yet, it is most obvious choice for everyone to ship all the girls with him.

To me, Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa and Ruby Hoshino are the best choices.
but since Ruby is his sister, so cancel her.

And then only the other two remains.

You should feel wrong for being a shipper to begin with.
Aqua never had any romantic feelings towards Ai and recent episode even made it abundantly clear.

Being in a kid's body doesn't change that he's an adult. Shipping him with a bunch of 15 year olds is weird no matter what.

Ruby gets a pass because she died when she was like eight or ten, so she's never been a teen before. But even if you freeze his development in place at the time of death, Aqua is like 30.

I do get where you're coming from but that doesn't mean "Age gap", as age in relationship is measured thru "Physical" not on mentality.

He is no longer 30s as that body no longer exist. He is now a teen.

I cant see him being a Pedophile or whatnot because that is not it entails - they are technically the same age.

I don't really mind "shipping" on shows that don't have the tag "Romance". Some of the best romance dynamics I have seen are most from shows that never had the "Romance" tag.

However in this anime, I feel so against to accept any ships for Aqua. He has the worst personality to deserve one like that as far as I see currently on the show. I have the same sentiment for Ayanokoji in COTE as much I loved that MC.

I sometimes I question why some people would ship any of girls to him when the guy was so twisted to have any real meaningful relationship.

but yeah I get your point as well.

on the latest episode Aqua question himself about that, about how the line between "HE (Goro)" and "Aqua Hoshino" became more and more blurry. Aqua comes to the conclusion that he doesnt see Akane in a romantic way, but at the end he is only a teenager. (im learning english, im open to observations, thank you !)

Well I don't know about ayanokouji but I was really worried that aqua is going to lie to akane , making her believe which isn't true but he didn't do that , so I don't see any kind of problem here , I mean if he fulfill his goal then he can end up with any of the girls because he cares about romance as well (he gave the same answer to kana and as far as I know he didn't lie till now) , he manipulate his words but never lied

There’s definitely a romance aspect to it as the story goes on but it’s pretty twisted and well… can’t say much more without spoiling anything. Bottom line, the story isn’t about romance or “who will end up with who”. You can ship characters but it may or may not necessarily matter to the story in the end.

I found this to be a really important aspect of his character in the source material, and I'm glad the adaptation reserved time for it. I don't think it's a spoiler, but I do want to note this won't be the last time that line between the two minds is highlighted.

Agreed. I love Kana and Akane as characters and that’s why I think they deserve so much better than Aqua. Honestly, having such an unlikable main boy is one of the many reasons I love this show - it’s bold and it keeps the drama high no matter what sub plot is unfolding.

Personally dont like love triangle it makes whole Fandom toxic and since I am following manga I can only say I don't like any shippings especially Aqua x akane
akane loves Aqua understandable but relationship is not about one sided thing Fandom has sympathy for the girls and can dream their own fanfiction but even in that they have to force themselves to change aqua's character coz author who designed his character had already given him a particular personality n mentality the argument akane fans can make Aqua never said anything regarding his feelings for kana but ignoring the clear hints from author's side
so I can already see the disappointments are coming for either shipping again anything is possible like miracle happened Aqua x akane ended up becoming a main couple but for this Aqua need character development or Aqua x therapy or Aqua x dead (least chance) etc but atleast my concerned was never shippings but revenge and mystery something author is cooking so ignored shipping wars if romance is not your main focus.

This shows perfectly how the stereotype about anime fans has solid foundations. I mean the stereotype of anime fans being overly emotional hypocrites tending to rant about certain elements in shows they don't like, and praise them in other shows they are fond of.

Here we see somewhat similar situation. It can't be helped, I guess. "It's fine when a sus stuff is happening in the show I like, but it's atrocious when it's happening in a show I don't like or even watch", eh? I don't know what is actually the controversy in Mushoku Tensei (I was never interested in this show myself). But knowing the so-called anime community, I wouldn't be surprised if the thing I was talking about was actually the case.

Recarination  which makes the 46 year old trapped in a 15/16 year old body. In other words, still considered as a 15/16 year old.

That's a very good way to put it. The author wants to make it clear to the readers that Goro is growing up in a teenaged body. And with that, comes all these feelings a teenager would have towards their peers due to frequent interactions. He joined the Sweet Today and is a co-star of Kana. He joined the reality dating show and is now in a "work" relationship with Akane. As Aqua increases his interactions with the females surrounding him, he's bound to feel something towards them: sympathy, empahty, care, and romance is also along the lines for for a teenager like him despite his ulterior motives.

For me, and I haven't read the manga so idk, the best option is Kana. Now, does Aqua have feelings for her? No. Obviously. But Kana enjoys a position which allows her very earnest interaction with him, as we saw in the last episode. Because Aqua plays a character to some extent for pretty much every girl other than Kana, Ruby, and the manager, it'd be unreasonable for him to develop feelings for them - he's never vulnerable to do so. Kana is the only one he has the capacity to develop feelings for (at least right now), so to me it seems like the story itself conspires to have him do so.

Fans tend to dislike Aqua in this stance when he manipulates girls as he sees fit. Neither Kana nor Akane deserves Aqua. In fact, Aka Akasaka just set up Aqua to be squeezed between these two girls for fandom ship wars when Aka gave us the answer already at Chapter 9: that Aqua won't love anyone and that it's his fan's business whether the girls feel something for him. For Aqua, acting is a means of revenge.

The girls are interested in Aqua, and to an extent he is interested in them. That is an important part of his conflict as a character. How far is he willing to pursue justice for Ai? Will he prioritize it over his own happiness, or that of the people he cares for? It is not romance in the sense that it is a typical "will they or won't they", but as an additional interpersonal conflict in the context of Aqua's revenge quest.

Aqua isn't heartless.

Not twisted at all. He sees Ai as a special person and one he swore to protect. if anything it's a nobel love for Ai. He loves her for Sarina's sake. Aqua is a good guy. He cared enough to love an idol because his patient loved her. He took those feelings to the grave and became her son. He then developed a family bond with Ai. Mix those 2 together and you get a strong bond. I don't ship any of the girls with him because I think his revenge is more important plus he doesn't see them romantically. They are special friends to him and that's it.

nah he doesn't have the worst personality for them. He does deserve them but that's not important. Aqua is a caring person. Eventhough he's seeking revenge, he's still taking the time to help the girls anyway he can. He saved Akane and helps Ruby achieve her dream. He also does way more good things in the Manga. Also he's nothing like ayanokoji. Don't understand why people think that

That's not an excuse. Ships are made when a couple has romantic chemistry towards each other. We can clearly see Aqua isn't in love with any of them

This is the main reason why I feel like he should not be ship with anyone else. The only problem I can see is that "he uses the girls intimate feelings to help his cause - which causes the girls to self-destruct. One of the girls will literally help him kill someone because of that lingering feelings"

From my point of view - he never had any feelings toward AI nor anyone. He is just a psycho covers in the form of love to do some revenge or some reason at all.

I feel bad for Kana because that feeling is a fuse for self-destruct. He views Aqua as some white-knight but we all he is far from that.
