I agree with this statement. Actually, I am this statement.

Yeah, this is precisely why I don't want the show to go in that direction. I understand that it's futile to argue with another person's ship, but I do want to make it clear why I'm against it. The thing about love triangles is, there's always collateral damage, the loser of the triangle. Someone has to get a sad ending to make a happy ending for two others. Narratively, there's potential in that for an intriguing plot. I mean, my favorite show is Faiz, you know. But it's important to consider the loser's feelings, instead of sweeping them under the carpet. The loser doesn't suddenly cease to exist or matter when the triangle is resolved.

In Julio's case, has he not suffered enough with the loss of Yosuke and Olteca, without someone else poaching his love interest? The way the show has minimized his character to comedy recently, in Episode 29 and 30, has me concerned that Hanta is treating him the same way Sanjo treated Yayoi from Kyoryuger. A sympathetic yet disposable character whose narrative purpose is to escalate romantic feelings between the "main ship". I was intrigued by the Deadmans trio since the start, so I would be seriously disappointed if the show ends on the point of Olteca being a literal Dead Man, Julio being friendzoned and Aguilera settling for an angsty teen with delusions of invincibility. That doesn't sound like a satisfying conclusion to me.

The main problem with that wasn't even the ship itself, but rather the terrible way that Geiz and Ora treated it as gross and a joke respectively. I'm an Inoue fan, so I hope he can figure out how to write better slash someday, since it's clearly something he wants to write.
