I would like to mention right from the start that either way, I *hate* this couple. :) Just so you know.

Hm. What to say. Well, actually, there is nothing about this couple that makes it implausible or unrealistic. In fact, there seems to be a reasonable chunk of supporting evidence. Daisuke is sometimes erratic and headstrong, and Takeru is more calm and thoughtful. They'd balance each other quite nicely, really. They interact, they clash, sometimes they get along. I don't find this interaction all that appealing, and in fact was kind of bored with it right from the start. I love Takeru. I love Daisuke. I don't love them together. Not to say that they wouldn't make a good couple, but in my opinion, no.

There are some scenes that could potentially indicate that Takeru has a bit of a thing for Daisuke, but even if this is true, I don't think it's reciprocated. That is just my opinion. Daisuke obviously considers Takeru a friend, but this is much the same way as he considers Miyako or Iori a friend. There is a lack of the fascination and/or connection that made me take notice of Ken/Daisuke. (and, of course, Daisuke's feelings for Hikari are canon)

That said, Takeru having a one-sided crush on Daisuke is possible. Often times, Takeru seems to think that Daisuke's jealousy over his relationship with Hikari is amusing, and will even sometimes bait him. They're 11 or 12 years old, so teasing a crush is a normal sort of thing.

On the other hand, it seems more likely that Takeru doesn't feel threatened by Daisuke in regards to his relationship with Hikari - which seems totally platonic during the course of the anime anyway - and thinks that the fact that the reverse is true is pretty funny. Truthfully, Takeru seems to care more for Hikari - who has been his friend for longer - and Iori - with whom he forms a closer connection - than Daisuke. This is not to say that he doesn't care for Daisuke as a close friend, but I really don't think this will develop into a romantic feeling. It just seems unlikely to me.

lol, I'm glad you still replied with a serious answer even though you hate the couple :D

Hey, just because I hate it doesn't mean it's not a good couple. It deserves a serious answer.

I'm glad you think so... I've had other people do this meme, and I replied with a pairing they didn't like and they just kinda brushed it off =/

[silverthunder]

Without even taking the opportunity to explain WHY they dislike it? These people obviously lack the pitiful excitement I get out of coming up with intelligent arguments for something that's really more like being a child and picking out which toys I like best.

Ehehe... anyway...
