Hot Take: what if Saiki started to like Teruhashi for real in Chapter 182?

I started thinking about the possibility after writing this post and honestly, now I’m kind of convinced it’s possible.

I mean, like I mentioned before, it would fit. Before this chapter, Saiki was so certain Teruhashi was into him just because he refused to give into her (Chapter 149). But in Chapter 182, he realizes that no, that’s not it. She does genuinely like him. What’s more, she doesn’t like an idealized version of him. She likes him for him, as he is. And realizing it touches him. It literally “moves his heart”.

And given the way their dynamic is handled throughout the manga—aka, that every time Saiki wants something, Teruhashi turns the tables on him. Like when Saiki wanted Teruhashi’s likeability to go down, and instead her likeability goes up with him (Chapter 29). 

It fits that the moment Saiki tries to make Teruhashi fall for someone else, he can’t because he may just like her himself, after all.

This is exactly the kind of divine irony the mangaka uses to develop their relationship.

And honestly, if you take into account how their interactions are handled from 182 up to the end, I do think it adds up.

SaiTeru: Saiki & Romance - or rather, Saiki & why he could come to reciprocate Teruhashi's feelings

So, remember when I said I had a lot of thoughts about SaiTeru? So much so, that I had to split them up in themed posts? I ran out of steam half-way through, but there are still a couple of things I haven’t gotten off my chest.

This is one of those things.

I need to preface this by saying that I think the notion of Saiki having no interest whatsoever in love isn't exactly accurate. In fact, as early as Chapters 1 and 5, Saiki explains that romance was actually “snatched” away from him by his powers; particularly, by his X-Ray Vision. He even says that the reason he “won’t fall in love with anyone in [his] timeline” is because he cannot develop feelings for a human body’s insides.

But that doesn’t mean Saiki isn’t actually interested in love; I believe he simply has come to see it as something beyond him and, as such, as something not worth wasting time over. He even admits at one point that maybe love "could be fun" if only he could actually look at people (and not read their thoughts).

Saiki’s curiosity about love is particularly evident in Chapter 232, where he spends a good chunk of the chapter trying to understand Chiyo’s thoughts to save her friendship & budding romance with Kaidou, ultimately admitting that he doesn’t understand romance nor a woman’s heart.

The thing is, Saiki has already told us a couple of times that he doesn’t understand romance. The big difference between Chapter 232 and say, Chapter 5, is that by Chapter 232, Saiki is actively trying to understand it rather than simply dismissing it altogether.

Which means Saiki is curious about love. He just can’t fall for someone physically because his X-Ray Vision keeps him from feeling any kind of physical attraction.

So essentially, Saiki would have to fall for someone because of who they are and for what they bring to his life.

And this is when things get interesting, because what does Saiki like (aside from sweets)?

A sense of achievement. Excitement. Purpose.

Things that cannot be affected by his psychic powers.

Mysteries. Something that can provide him with “surprises and excitement.”

In other words, what Saiki actually likes is a challenge. And while all of his friends provide him with challenges in different ways, there is only one person who consistently manages to win against Saiki.

His most troublesome and dangerous foe. One Kokomi Teruhashi.

Being able to read Teruhashi’s thoughts is meaningless because Teruhashi has God on her side, so things always work out the way she wants them to.

The things that should give Saiki an upper hand end up being pointless when he’s pitted against Teruhashi, because if Teruhashi wills it, she will find a way.

No one other than Teruhashi represents as big of a challenge to Saiki; not even his own brother, because as Saiki points out, not even Kusuke can match up against Teruhashi.

Seriously, let’s go back to the things Saiki enjoys (aside from sweets).

A sense of achievement. Excitement. Purpose. Like when he gives it his all against Teruhashi and thinks he’s won against her.

Things that cannot be affected by his psychic powers. Like Teruhashi’s unbeatable will and God’s support.

Mysteries. Something that can provide him with “surprises and excitement.” Like all the ways Teruhashi makes him guess, despite the fact that he’s able to read her thoughts.

Teruhashi is the only being powerful enough and unpredictable enough to tick all of Saiki’s boxes effortlessly. She is essentially built to be his match, in every sense of the word.

But of course, this would all be moot if Saiki didn’t also like Teruhashi for who she is. And despite what he may say about the nature of her thoughts… he does very much like her as she is.

Saiki is committed to coming across as a perfectly average guy. He puts in a lot of effort in order to achieve this. Meanwhile, Teruhashi is committed to coming across as a perfectly beautiful girl. She puts in a lot of effort in order to achieve this.

Saiki respects, acknowledges and admires this more than anyone.

Because unlike everyone else, Saiki gets it. So much so, that by the end of the manga, he even celebrates Teruhashi's victories as his own.

By this point in the story, Teruhashi might as well be the person Saiki thinks highest of after himself (and Satou). He quite literally sings her praises left and right, going as far as saying that when they’re together, they are invincible.

Saiki knows Teruhashi inside and out; he's the only one that knows her flaws, including the fact that she's not as humble as she makes herself out to be.

Which is why it's so significant that Teruhashi wins him over so completely, that when Saiki finally realizes Teruhashi genuinely loves him, he smiles.

His very first speech bubble in the entire manga is saying offu to her.

But if I really start breaking down all the little ways Saiki shows that he might very well already reciprocate Teruhashi's feelings, I'm never going to wrap up this post.

So instead, I'd like to bring up two other very important things Saiki likes.

The first is, troublesome things. The entire manga builds-up to Saiki admitting that yes; he does like troublesome things, despite how much he tried to claim otherwise.

Teruhashi just happens to be the most dangerous out of the troublesome-folk that surround him; in other words, the most troublesome out of them all.

Last but not least, Saiki's true love: sweets. Teruhashi just happens to love sweets. In one of the side novels, she even makes him coffee-jelly.

So, I really do think that Saiki developing feelings for Teruhashi makes perfect sense. Funnily enough, I'd even say that the very things that stop Saiki from developing romantic feelings for anyone else — aka, his X-Ray Vision and his mind-reading — are the very things that would help him fall for Teruhashi.

Because, thanks to not being able to see her looks, he is inmune to her charm and in the best position to not be blinded by her beauty. And thanks to being able to read her thoughts, he can truly see her and how much effort she puts into every aspect of her life.

It's so poetic, I wouldn't be surprised if it's what the mangaka intended all along. Yet another punchline at Saiki's expense lol

They look so good and her sweater even matches Saiki's orange tie, happy 2020 to you too aso-sensei 🙌

Seriously though, Saiki in The Disastrous Life of Kokomi Teruhashi is at his most ridiculous ever.

Teruhashi wanted to go and drink a shake with him. So Saiki being Saiki, he makes sure she won't get to ask him out.

Except he just... turns invisible and goes with her anyway?

He doesn't have a shake of his own because of his clownery, so he just... goes and drinks from Teruhashi's straw?

Like if Teruhashi would've gotten to invite him, she would have bought Saiki his own shake. But no, here goes Saiki making things worse for himself and giving Teruhashi more than she would've even bargained for.

Then, when Teruhashi stands-up, he follows her and stands so close to her for absolutely no reason whatsoever, that Teruhashi almost accidentally touches him?

Plus, what's up with his thoughts?

Does he even realize how ridiculous he sounds here? He's the one who's getting involved with her right now. He could've just saved himself the trouble, bought himself a shake and drank it at home. Teruhashi didn't even get to invite him, he invited himself.

THEN, to top all this off, he looks all smug when Teruhashi notices she's missing some of her shake??

Sir?? What do you even have to be smug about? She just wanted to drink a shake with you and you not only did that, you also gave her an Indirect Kiss™?

He is such a tsundere that he willingly just went on a date with Teruhashi, yet he still acts like it's a win for him because Teruhashi didn't realize he was there. LMAO. 😂
