Butterfly Dreams

So…it’s done. I’m not sure whether to be happy or not. For the majority of its series run, I really enjoyed Dragonaut a lot– it always left me highly anticpating the next episode. And then Kazuki happened. I like my fair share of happy endings where rival best friends are concerned, for Kira and Athrun ended up fine, but I think it would have been better of Kazuki remained the antagonist. That, or give him a better reason for being a bastard then putting a Kazuki x Jin spin on it. The writer’s at GONZO wanted a happy ending to Dragonaut, though, and other than the death of Nozaki (which I admit, I cried. Lame, ne?) and Ostrum, the ending was ridiculously happy.

So the one-sided Kazuki x Jin lovefest continues in this second-to-last episode of DTR.  Even as a yaoi fangirl I find this relationship ridiculous. It’s made even more ridiculous by the fact that I think Kazuki is supposed to be the man but is really a groupie. He’s obsessed with Jin, and I can’t believe everyone can think of him as the good guy now. I mean, honestly, it’s great and all that he volunteered to protect the Avenir, and I’m sure it’s only the thought that counts, for without a dragon I can’t see how Kazuki can protect it from anything bigger than a fly. I won’t be surprised if Kazuki is alive after the upcoming final episode, for really, that’s all you need to top this train wreck of Kazuki’s story.

OMFG, is that the reason Kazuki was going all pyscho? Because he wanted to protect Jin? I swear that whole scene was like a bad low-budget yaoi movie. Kazuki’s as hypocrital as ever. “I just wanted to protect you, Jin! -punches at the same time-” Yeah…I think you forgot what protect meant, buddy. He’s been wanting to kill Jin for the longest time. “If I can’t have Gio to protect you then you can both just die!” I don’t understand how Widow could stand his abuse. It’s a shame she died needlessly protecting him.

I still wonder who she originally had a Resonance with, but if she did have it with Kazuki first I agree that both her and Kazuki would’ve been different (in a good way). Then we get the classic “I didn’t know what I had till it was gone” turn around from Kazuki and the two are best friends again. Or something. Their entire relationship is messed up. Jin was never alone. He always had Kazuki. To say that meant he thought so little of Kazuki, which isn’t fair at all. And Kazuki should’ve been up front about why he was so bitchy about Gio.
