Azusa X Kanato - Blog Posts

I am still a little miffed that Diabolik Lovers dropped the Kanato/Azusa plotline after MB because they literally fit perfectly!! Mr "I HAVE to keep torturing my lovers because if they ever get used to me they'll be able to stop giving me attention and i cant stand that also my mom only ever showed affection by using me" AND his perfect counter Mr "I need people to hurt me as proof that they need me because I have no other proof of existence or purpose in life" COME ON!!

Azusa is like the perfect character to disrupt Kanato's ideology. He's someone Kanato can't control using pain and HE'S the one in control even when he isn't trying. He's infuriating to Kanato because Kanato is the one who can't get him to just stay away and he's already totally used to violence. Yet, if Kanato weren't so fixated on control and maintaining a position of superiority he would actually probably be happy with someone like Azusa who gives essentially unconditional affection once he's become attached to someone.

At the same time, Azusa being so different also gives Kanato the chance to grow beyond being the bratty manipulative younger sibling that no one really likes but vaguely tolerates. Azusa is hardworking but strange and clumsy which even Kanato can see. As a noble, Kanato just can't stand how messy and clumsy Azusa is and ends up trying to act as a senior to show him the ropes. He ends up being serious and grounded amidst his haughtiness and that's such an interesting direction to take Kanato! I'd love to see Kanato's controlling behaviour have the chance to be something productive and personally meaningful!!

Instead Kanato gets the least development and even with the overall improvement in the twin's relationship, he still takes a backseat to Laito and Ayato...

If Kanato raised Kanna… That would’ve been Latio’s last day on earth 😂
