Bringing this video back into circulation just so y’all can hear Tenoch’s tiny little schoolgirl giggle while he listens to Winston Duke shower him with compliments as he rests his head on his shoulder and blows him a little kissy afterwards.
i am in love with the way leo looks in this scene. the kraang and destroyed city behind him as he faces his family, the confidence in his expression and shine in his eyes, and for how he calls donnie's eyebrows "big and beautiful"
💙 (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
also really love leo for the "DONNIE'S WRONG!" and for donnie's reply of "the world is ending yet the barbs continue" with the utmost sarcasm hahah
what makes minedai even sadder is that we never rlly see daigo try to build a bond with anyone else like he did with mine it rlly shows how badly it effected him like yeah he reached out to shinada in y5 but that’s rlly it and he probably would wanna leave him alone after that and not involve him in any yakuza stuff so i don’t think they would’ve hung out or anything like that afterwards. All he rlly had were saejima and majima but they were more like babysitters than anything, wish we saw more of their dynamic tho like we did with majima and daigo in dead souls since that was fun and we were lowkey robbed but in canon he’s just as lonely as he was before majimas promise to kiryu. And mine is the only person he really had a meaningful relationship with romantic or not they were still really close and we don’t see that again with daigo ever (from what i recall after y3) ok sorry for rambling LMFAO
even with shinada, he reached out to him more so out of 'duty' and trying to make up for the misfortune that befell him because of yakuza than wanting to rekindle any kind of friendship they might have had in high school (though it sounds more like they were just acquaintances if shinada needing a second to remember who daigo was is anything), so yah i doubt they really had any kind of bond afterwards
dead souls really was the only time after Y3 where we got to see daigo be more sociable with someone, but its as you say majima and saejima are more like retainers than close friends
