Refusing to Forget "The Reasons Why I Shipped Toi Kuji x Kazuki Yasaka" Part 1

Source: from my Twitter thread. I am rewriting again to celebrate Toikazu's Day on October 1st.

1. Both of them have brother complexes in their family even though in different ways. Then their problems lead them to impact their own morality and lifestyle. Even they want to use Dish of Hope for their each own brother. Here

2. Both Kazuki and Toi have their own beautiful mom who looks the same as them, especially in their hair and eye color respectively. Here

3. Their eyes zoom which reflects some leak scenes (My favorite part of them of course is their eyes and the zoom of the eyes). Here

4. Their merchs sometimes being juxtaposed (just like ReoMabu did). Here

5. Usually the 1st and 2nd protags' official colors are Blue and Red. Kazuki (Red), Toi (Blue) Same cases with other animes' protags. Banana Fish: Ash (Red), Eiji (Blue); Yuri!!! on Ice: (Blue), Victor (Red/Purple), turquoise (actual) here

Explain: In the official merch, Victor's official color actually is turquoise, but since he has his Stammi Vicino's costumes are pink and purple, his color can be depicted as pink (or we can mention it red) and purple.

6. Speak of the devil, both of their official colors match with both their hair and eye color. Meanwhile, even though Enta's color is yellow and matches his hair color, not with his eyes which are green. Here

7. Same pattern: One has a slightly hanging bangs style that parted a little bit of his left eye; the other has an asymmetrical parting on his hair, and some can cover one eye. All of them parted on the left eye, except Victor. Here

8. Of course many moments about them from all episodes (except ep 3). Update: even I like Ep. 7 since Kazuki is now smiling and calling Kuji 'Toi' which means he has become close to him. But the result is Enta's jealousness. Here

9. they have different belt buckle types which can be depicted as their personality. Toi: frame-style buckle Kazuki: box-out buckle When they open/close their buckles, Toi's is more complicated than Kazuki's, just like their rep lives. Here

11. In their childhood, both of them had pure cutesy round eyes and small gaps when they stared at something even though in different vibes. Seems parallel but opposite, isn't it? Here

12. Both of them have the initiative to first clean their soccer field together twice (1st: Toi, 2nd: Kazuki) before they know that the actual culprit of ruining their spot is Enta who is the one who is always on that spot. Here

13. Coincidentally both of them have upside-down lives that begin from 5 years old happiness to 10 years old sadness. Here

14. They have slender and delicate necks, jawlines, napes, and collarbones which are always being exposed in every episode. Also, Toi's Adam Apple looks sexy. Kazuki still doesn't have it yet, huh? No wonder! Here

15. YEAY!!! Finally, the relationship between Kazuki's Miçanga and Toi has been the truth. Even they have their (side)forgotten 1st meeting. Do you remind them of some other couple in another anime?

16. In fact, during the anime their left eyes have always been the focus of their scenes. I know why the left eye is special for being zoomed. Even Enta doesn't get that treatment yet because his eyes are being focused on both. Here

Btw, bonus from Sara herself *even though not related to Toikazu hehe...*

17. Kazuki Leak's OST and Toi Leak's have different basic chords but both of them are full instruments. If you listen their songs repeatedly (minus Enta's) you'll find that they have some synchronized beats and vibes even though different chords and instruments. Even their songs end with a fade-out chorus which gets quieter and quieter, unlike Enta Leak's song chorus which ends with some growing surprising strings (maybe). Here

18. Kazuki and Toi have the letter 'K' in front of their names (Kazuki and Kuji) and the letter 'i' as the last letter in their nicknames [Kazuk(i) and To(i)]. Are they only coincidences or there are the intended meanings behind these, guys? Here

19. The zodiacs Kazuki: Taurus Toi: Scorpio Believe or not, there are some fun important facts about their zodiacs and the compabilities between them. Here

There is also the compatibility description between Taurus & Scorpio https://www.zodiacsign.com/compatibility/taurus-scorpio/

More compabilities about Taurus and Scorpio (are some of them very similar to Toi and Kazuki's connection). https://www.astrology.com/love/compatibility/taurus-scorpio.html

No wonder they're matched as a couple.

20. Did you realize that in that new official art, both Toi and Kazuki exchange their color themes throught candied-apple and kimono. Even those things colors matched with their eye colors sometimes. Here

Now, let's continue to part 2

Part 1 / Part 2

Refusing to Forget "The Reasons Why I Shipped Toi Kuji x Kazuki Yasaka" Part 2

Source: from my Twitter thread 2. I am rewriting again to celebrate Toikazu's Day on October 1st.

TW!: The mention of r*pe and suicidal attempt

21. The dynamic of Bad Boy x Good Boy. You know, sometimes bad boy x good boy ships have a place in their own shippers' hearts. Ex: Ash x Eiji from Banana Fish, Kanba x Shouma from Penguindrum, etc (let you mention it by yourself because I don't know all of them). So does Toikazu in that trope. Besides, the good boy x bad boy ship dynamic never gonna make it boring since they are like two different magnetic poles but if we put them together they will attract each other. It makes sense, huh?! Here

22. According to PASH! Mags, I find some similarities between Toikazu and Reomabu: a. Toikazu's height difference is the same as Reomabu's = 5 cm b. Even each of the couple's blood types has type A and type B (no wonder why Toi same as Mabu n Kazu same as Reo) Here

pics source: Weibo

Here are the description of the personalities of person with type A and type B. More detail about the blood type characteristics can be read in this link: https://www.tofugu.com/japan/japanese-blood-type/ Some of them are correct.

23. Toikazu and Reomabu remind me of my ships when I was a KPOP stan, especially SMTOWN. *ToiKazu look like KriSho (Kris x Suho EXO) (fierce boy x sweet boy vibes. Unfortunately they were drowned since Kris quit from boy group EXO, and now was involved in the underage r*pe cases in China) while ReoMabu like ChangKyu (Changmin TVXQ x Kyuhyun Suju) (coincidentally they have the same height and blood type respectively) Here

Not related to Toikazu but: Changmin from TVXQ has the same blood type and height with Reo, and he has dark skin as Reo (even though not so dark), while Kyuhyun from Super Junior is also the same as Mabu even he has white pale skin like Mabu. They are the evil maknaes in their group respectively.

24. In episode 11, Toi parallels with Kazuki about narrative even though in different last sentences (ep 1 & 11), even they fall to ア sign are still parallel. And red and blue cars in the background. Here

25. And last but not least, apparently they had wanted to commit 'suicide' (disappear from the circle) for their own ways and reasons, but fortunately, their actions were thwarted thanks to misanga in their last arcs. Here

That's the end of the post from my very old Twitter thread post.
