The first time I watched it, I was very hooked. When I first watched season 1 and 2, I couldn't sleep (it's real). But the worst thing was that the movie was released, but only in Japan. So, I did some research and spoiled myself the ending xd (I actually searched it because I couldn't wait any longer). And later I read the manga (I have read it thrice). Well, this is not my point.
My point is to analyze the characters and those stuff (This is only my point of view). Spoiler warning 😠Go by yuor own risk.
Ichika:
-At first, she seemed to be cooperative and a good girl.
-Fuutarou was able to teach them again because she rented the quintuplets' new house
But
-She lost her mind and wtf. (My apologies, but) who tf in this world disguises as her sister, knowing she will ruin her life, just because of love. She always seemed to be a girl who loved all of her sisters.
-The second time on the trip, she really deserved it. Fuutarou did good on discovering her and telling her all of that.
To sum up, although she was a big help to Fuutarou, she was also a character who did something that made me think she wasn't an option for Fuutarou to choose.
Nino:
-In the beginning, I didn't like her that much. Not even in the ending tho. I started liking her because of fanarts I found in my research. (That was the first time I watch it)
-Later, when I watched it more times, I started to understand her and she later became my 2nd option for Fuutarou.
-I really felt bad in the wedding, when Fuutarou says sorry to Nino for not giving her a proper answer to her. And she replies him crying that she doesn't have any regret.
-The thing I disliked the most about her was when she threw the papers with questions Fuutarou did to them. Besides that, I think Nino is quite a cute girl.
Miku:
-The first time I watch it, (and the other times too) I wanted Fuutarou to stay with Miku. Why Miku? Well, there are quite a lot of reasons.
1. Although Miku was girl with "anxiety" (maybe itsn't not anxiety but something like that), she did her best to support Fuutarou.
2. She was the first one who accepted him (after Yotsuba as well).
3. The second time I watched it, I realised that Miku fell in love with Fuutarou since the very beginning.
4. In the "Seven Goodbyes" arc, Miku was the only one who helped Fuutarou.
5. She put a lot of effort to make chocolates and to make the bread.
There are many other reasons tho. And Miku got my heart from the beginning. But I try to tell this in a very objective way.
The things I regret:
1. Why and how did Ichika got a better grade in the exams??
2. She messed up with her confession.
Maybe she messed with her confession, but it shows her resolution. You might ask, what do I mean by this?
Well, in the "Scrambled eggs" arc, she wanted to end his relation with Fuutarou as teacher-student. But was that what she really wanted? Later in that same arc, when Miku sees for last time Fuutarou before leaving the hostal, Fuutarou discovers her identity after failing. And in my opinion that was an extremely cute moment. I liked it a lot. But that's not the point here. What I want to tell is that she accepted something. She thinks this: "Fuutarou is my teacher and I'm his student. That doesn't change, but that doesn't mean that everything will remain the same. Thanks for finding me." Later she says to herself that she would become a version of herself Fuutarou would like. Finally, when she talks to Yotsuba, she says to herself: "I can't be Yotsuba, but she can't be me either. Finally I can think like this. Finally I'm able to love myself." In my opinion, that was what she won. Maybe she didn't win in the competition for Fuutarou, but thanks to him she won:
1. Self confidence and love to herself and
2. A dream she will fight to achieve it.
And in my opinion, what season 1 and the beginning of season 2 settled was a story where Miku would win. That's what I think, and what I wanted to believe.
Yotsuba:
-wtf was the author thinking (I'm not spreading hate although it might seem like)
-I admit she is a very joyful girl and that she cheered her sisters and Fuutarou up.
-Actually something that Miku thought when talking with Yotsuba is right: Thanks to Yotsuba, the quintuplets could meet Fuutarou. That's why the story could develop. But if we think it like this, Ichika also allowed the story to continue. What was the difference? Their attitude towards Fuutarou was the difference.
-At the end, I think Fuutarou never knew who the girl he knew in Kyoto was. But Yotsuba knew. Even though she knew, she didn't want to rely on those memories. But she actually did. Thanks to those memories, she didn't let fuutarou give up.
-Maybe Yotsuba deserved it, but the plot didn't make it evident. Instead, it made it confusing and frustrating for the other teams.
Sincerly, I didn't like the ending, but it's the authors story. therefore, he has the right to end it as he wishes.
Itsuki:
-She was the first girl and Fuutarou refused to teach her
-She and Fuutarou constantly fought and both felt bad about it. That represents that Fuutarou cared about Itsuki and Itsuki cared about Fuutarou.
-The picture they took with Raiha is a very special memory for Itsuki. It's such a special memory she has that photo in her phone. That's really cute ngl. Well in my opinon she is very cute.
-She and Fuutarou had chemistry in their relation.
-I won't lie, I can't even tell she helped Fuutarou even more than Yotsuba did. But each helped their way.
Fuutarou:
-At the beginning, Itsuki asks him to help her study, but he refuses to. And later he experiences an event that will get recorded in his mind. This is knowing the quintuplets. Then, he tries to get the quintuplets to study. Yotsuba helps him and after some time Miku joins. After the fireworks Ichika joins and he starts giving him advice. After the exams, he was about to get fired but Nino saved him. Then the "Seven goodbyes" arc arrives and I'm not sure if Itsuki declares to him saying him that the moon was beautiful (it is a reference to literature that means that you love that person or something like that) and after some time Nino and Itsuki accept to join them. Later the trip to Kyoto comes and later the ending of the series.
-Throughout this story, we can see the development Fuutarou has as a person. As he said, he was an all-knowing person that read books from beginning to end. But if he didn't met the quintuplets, he would have been a worse person than the one he was. Also at the wedding he says: "I was your teacher, but I also learnt many things from you...Having met you is one of the few things I can brag of."
-He realized that Miku was in love with him before she said it to him. He started feeling and loving. Until the day he had to take a decision arrived.
Now, after this being told, I want to tell my point of view about the winner and bride:
-The first time I watched it: Due to the reasons I mentioned previously, that time I thought Miku was the one who deserved to win. I have to tell that I still keep that feeling.
-The second time I watched it, I focused on Yotsuba. (It's not that enjoyable if you just focus on analyzing one character and don't focus on the other things) Anyways, after watching it I "understood" the ending. I can understand it, but I'm not satisfied with it. Just like Miku at first. But later Miku accepted it and she is happy her way now.
-After many time thinking and after watching it for third time, I got to the conclusion that Itsuki was the best option for the fandom and maybe for Fuutarou. Why for the fandom? As he chooses one, the other 4 teams won't be satisfied. Most teams don't accept Yotsuba as the winner, because:
1. They wanted their favorite quintuplet to win, but most importantly
2. Yotsuba didn't have visible reasons to get chosen.
The first reason is unavoidable, but the second one can be avoided.
Now let's analyze each case:
Ichika:
-At the end I think she didn't deserved it because of her lies, even though she helped Fuutarou.
-All teams would have opposed and maybe they wouldn't accept it.
Nino:
-She was the one who helped Fuutarou open his heart by confessing him, but I think she rushed a bit.
-Mainly, team Miku would have opossed and by some statistics, I can tell team Miku is the biggest one. But all teams might have opposed. (It's normal)
Miku:
-She really really really deserved him ngl.
-Mainly, team Nino would have opossed. Basically Miku and Nino are direct rivals. Both are my favorite ones tho. Still prefer Miku. But, all teams would have opposed (It's normal). But at the end, they would have resign and they would clearly see that she deserved it.
Itsuki:
-She had good reasons to be chosen by Fuutarou
-All teams would have oposed(Normally), but in the end they would have understood it and they would clearly see that she deserved it.
That's why, I think Miku and Itsuki are the ones that deserved Fuutarou.
I don't know where did I see it. Maybe in the manga I read online (when I didn't have the mangas physically). Well, the point is that I saw a dialogue in the last Quintuplets' Game. But Fuutarou said Miku: "You have always fought against your fears and you have been able to beat them by own merit. Believe in yourself. You have always been able to achieve what you propose yourself. You are the true winner here." That last thing. "You are the true winner here" is quite interesting. But I don't remember where did I see that dialogue.
Anyways, I can't change the ending. There is a videogame where you can choose. But I don't have it ðŸ˜.
Believe it or not, I have learnt a lot from the Quintuplets.
This is the first time in a long time, that I fell this feeling. ðŸ˜.
I love you Ichika, Nino, Miku, yotsuba, Itsuki. You will always be in my heart.
And if you read up to here, I appreciate you.
