I was a little sad watching that scene. Would've loved to see him or SOMEONE (must be at least one person who's heard such conversation and knows) laugh and tell them that he's a professional who appears on TV and gets paid big bucks (at least by students' standards since it's more than the teachers). I don't know, I'd just like to see someone hear those girls speculate that the guy's an otaku who flunked for his hobby let them know just how awesome he really is. If played right, he could become a bit of a celebrity in the class. They might not understand the game or its depth, but you tell them the guy lives alone, makes lots of money and appears on television, you better believe they'd be talking different about him.

When I talk about Rei and Hina, I don't mean right now. What I've said is that if I was in the grandfather's shoes, I'd be sizing up Rei's potential as Hina's future husband. Later. Down the road. When they're adults. At a stage where the age difference between them would be a total non-issue.

It's not that big of a difference. She's just entered her third year of junior high and he's entering his second year of high school. She's going to be turning fifteen at some point in the near future and he's just turned eighteen. It's not such a big difference really.

He's an old man wanting to make sure his grandchildren will be okay after he's gone, and perhaps he's a bit traditional/old-fashioned and wanting to find them "good matches." Just a thought. |

Only if they were actively dating right now, which they aren't. It can be a future ship. Hina is the best girl for him if she's allowed to age a bit. She's honest, has his best interest in mind (not selfish) and is going to be a baker.
On Rei's side, there's got to be an income in this. He is living by himself in an apartment and can travel without worries. He really doesn't have food purchasing problems. And...they both like each other. Quote:
Really,....#1 is prob going to take over the lounge business from her aunt. #2 (Hina) is prob going to take over the bakery. Best to make sure #2 has a stable partner so your business can continue.

If Hina x Rei happens, it happens, but at this point, hoping for it, pushing for it.. It's be a bit like that trope of parents promising to have their children marry each other when they're babies. It's not really done with the children in mind. Quote:

Gotta wonder how much of a philanthropist Shimada is. He's 8th-dan and probably won some titles, but he seems to be living a relatively modest lifestyle. I bet he's giving most of his winnings to the projects he often does to his hometown community.

Yeah, they don't have to be the type to value a person as a prospect based on their paycheck to recognize that that paycheck is a definite bonus. I doubt Hina would personally care if he was flat broke, but I'm sure that her sister and grandfather want to feel secure about her future, to know that she's got a man who has a really strong income and can help support her if she's in any kind of trouble. Financial stability is only one point but it's a point, and I'm sure they notice the value of all points for him including but not limited to his checkbook.
