Bitching -- Itsuki and Sensui
Jul. 25th, 2004 10:04 pmFandom specific. Spoilers. Homosexuality.
Eh. It just annoys me. I'm very proud of FUNimation for keeping Itsuki gay. He says he wanted Sensui as his lover--which is quite true.
But the completely forget Itsuki and Sensui are in a relationship. Watch the English uncut, and it's like Itsuki is a heartless bastard who's more of a obsessed stalker than a lover to Sensui. *snickers* I'll say Itsuki is a bastard, as he is willing to just watch Sensui's corruption. But the obsessed stalker bit, about following Sensui and killing his opponents--complete BS. And completely pointless. Just like the part about Itsuki's pet Uraotoko being a trash collector.
And Sensui is even madder than he really is. Japanese Sensui is definitely insane. No doubt. But English Sensui is a goddamned fanatic!
But really, my only objection in all of it--
Itsuki in English: "It's true, I wanted him for my lover."
Itsuki in Japanese: "It was as if I had acquired both a lover and time bomb."
Not direct, I'm sure. They're saying Itsuki wants, as if he doesn't have, Sensui, but in Japanese he's already his lover... argh!
Now I gotta write a cuddly Sensui x Itsuki fic... official yaoi, I love it.

Date: 2004-08-06 09:10 pm (UTC)I read your piece on that at Fallen From Grace, but I never picked up on it myself.
Then again, I'm a naive 15 year old.Hm.And I do think you're right.
Of course, the thing I like SenItsu is that Itsuki is devoted to Sensui... if Sensui wanted to chop his head off and play soccer with it, Itsuki would help him do it. I probably should watch a few more episodes, though.
