i read posts that say mithrun had a whole construction crew but it took one guy to fix him n im like. his brother loves him. cithis genuinely cares about him. i think mithrun’s last scene was about how kabru and senshi make him realize that he has a support system despite it all

i know we're all chilaios-pilled here but penny for your thoughts on kabumisu? theres just something so charming bout them, you cannot tell me kabru wasnt feeling the dokis when mithrun threw that punch to calm him down, they're so funny and sweet, what made them click for you?
as soon as kabru and mithrun were alone, i started thinking they'd probably be a good ship, but kabru being able to get mithrun to eat and sleep and take care of himself in ways pattadol and the others couldn't just... got to me. it's not even that pattadol isn't trying so much as it's kabru having a totally different approach that happened to work better.
and like, kabru doesn't think about it. it's not a burden to him, and he goes above and beyond to do it right. it's such a good demonstration of who he is--that for all the 5D chess he's playing, for all the manipulation he's capable of, he's kind. helping mithrun becomes his job very suddenly and he adapts to it as best he can... and mithrun's party notices the difference in how it affects him.
i also really loved kabru trying to pare down mithrun's backstory for the purpose of being able to share it with others as a cautionary tale... he focused on the wrong things at times, but he really was trying to do something functional, and then you have this:
Tumblr media
he's not trying to minimize mithrun's story so much as he's trying to make it something they can use to further their mutual goal of making people understand the dangers of dungeons. the real story, the full depth of it, is something kabru is willing to know, and continue asking about. he's trying to fill in the gaps where mithrun's self-preservation no longer exists, and this approach is included in that.
but the real deal-closer for me i think was their final two scenes together. when kabru convinces mithrun to try and live again, and mithrun actually listened to him... and when mithrun told kabru that he finally figured out what his final desire was, that it had never been revenge. that once all was said and done, he realized the only thing he wanted was for the demon to finish what it had started. and i love that kabru was the one there to witness mithrun laughing and smiling for the first time in so long after senshi inadvertently comforted him...
Tumblr media
mithrun feels comfortable with kabru, in a way he doesn't fully know how to articulate anymore. he's lost his sense of boundaries, but even so, we can see that kabru means something to him. and kabru cares about mithrun--wants to see him live again, no matter what. after his initial impassioned speech, while he remains determined, it takes on a friendlier tone because he's no longer trying to convince mithrun of something; he's just trying to encourage him, and hold him to his promises.
i dunno man. they're fucking amazing. one of these days i'll finish the post-canon oneshot i started about them

What do you think of Mithrun and Kabru relationship? Not asking in a shipping way, I just found it cute how attached kabru got (probably a result of taking care of him for days and learning his extensive backstory), and the desire speech at the end actually made me cry.
it’s fine but as a big kabru fan, i think i’d be more interested in it if mithrun actually cared about kabru and what he feels. it kind of made me mad that he never apologized for the actions of the canaries threatening to kill his friends. they never even talked to each other even once in the post-canon. the person who’s the closest to him is pattadol(cithis is back in jail, free my queen) and that’s it, not that i’m complaining, they are cute in an uncle and niece way.
i think mithrun, pattadol, kabru would have tea sometimes, with kabru asking about mithrun’s new life as a noodle chef. i also think he’d be the one who’d introduce senshi to him!
