That aside, it's not important in the context of story whether they have sex or not, this is not some kind of a holy grail. A story, as it is, should be taken just as a model of real world, a schematic, without most of explicit details. I mean, come on! What happened to having fun! |

Ok, they undress in front of each other, he sniffes her hair and she goes nopan in public, but now I'm the baddie for thinking what two young people would do when traveling a year together.

I don't know. It never felt unnatural to me so I'm fighting for words here. Or, rather, episode four and five scenes are fanservice crap and we are dealing with failed characterisation line. Actually, scrap it. I remember how back when Episode I aired I called them little kids in the dark over what "love" really is. I'm pulling this card again. It took them THIS much time to grow from being innocent kids with this to realizing passion towards each other. How is that for an explanation? |

Ok, that point didn't get across to me after your first post.
It's really that intimacy that let me to believe they'd do what any other pair would do in such a situation. Quote:

Thanks for the info on Rinne. Hmm, never heard Miyako Ito before. Whether it's her or not, I like her voice in the trailer.

Man... I was thinking of him as gay all this time up to this episode... Naked together with her, smelling her hair... that would transform any straight guy into a predator, unless that guy is some type of messiah, saint or budda... Or Shichika, it seems Good to see an actual reaction of embarrassment from him.

Why do people keep forgetting that Shichika was on an island his ENTIRE LIFE up until now? I doubt he even knows what the concept of sex is (unless Nanami taught him about it, but even then, he still wouldn't know what those feelings and urges would consist of). Why would he yearn for her in a romantic fashion when he doesn't even KNOW anything about romance? And on Togame's part, she's an intellectually strong and focused woman (despite her silly moments). She has goals, and is determined to achieve them. That's one of the last things she's thinking about.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but it seems a little silly (or misguided, rather) to automatically assume that either a) they were having sex or b) that Shichika was gay. The world isn't all about sex all the time. Geez. What a typical male mindset...

And I was kidding about Shichika being gay... Don't take it seriously Him being isolated from all civilization from the point of being unable to distinguish faces would certainly make him a little oblivious about many things.

It isn't so misguided or silly to assume they were having sex. He is her sword, and she can do with him as she pleases. He pretty much commited his whole being to her in the 1st episode. Being in an island also doesn't mean you can't be without lust. He may not know the concept of sex, but surely he must have urges - it's in our genes to be instinctively sexual beings. He may be innocent, and he may be used to seeing a woman naked (his sister), but seeing a completely different woman naked, and being at the ridiculous proximity the two were (and face it, even if -he- doesn't know the boundaries or what that sort of intimacy entails, she does), one can't help but assume that they were having sex, even if there was no romantic relationship.

But everyone's different, and I often forget that, so I'm sorry for my "male mindset" comment.
