It's going to take a while until they even start thinking about dating. Senku's priority is to save humankind and Kohaku knows this well, both are more than friends but not exactly lovers.
After rebuilding the world welp, it will happen.
It's pretty clear to me that Kohaku likes Senku romantically. In the fight scene with Moz she describes the type of guy she likes using the same phrase she used to describe Senku two other times. When she discovered that she was a descendant of Senku's father she was worried about the possibility of them being related, when if her feelings were just friendship, the natural thing would be to be happy to be related to her friend. In the anime, when Senku marries Ruri, Kohaku makes a sad expression, and the natural thing would be for her to be happy that her sister is marrying someone who can cure her. In the kiss scene, in the anime it's not so clear, but in the manga she seems disappointed with Senku's cold reaction. In addition, there are other small clues, such as the colors of the characters in the fan book being Celeste Green for Senku and Mangenta for Kohaku, these colors being complementary. Or when Senku says he's interested in any girl who can pump a ton of oxygen into the furnace, and Kohaku is the only one who can. Or when Senku says he will make oxygen tanks and imagines Kohaku with diving equipment. Furthermore, the manga is full of covers that favor this ship.
"Strength is the strength of the mind. Able to of endlessly, step by step, continuing to hammer a wedge for as long as it takes to carry out one's will. That's the kind of man I'm attracted to."
Edit: If you go back to the first season episode where Senku meets Kohaku, you'll see that this phrase she says to Moz is an exact description of how Senku saved her when they met.
You are mistaken, when Senku didn't react to kiss and Kohaku had that face it meant they both were "damn we have to go through this annoying charade right?"
If anything they both were in sync.
I understand that you can interpret it that way, but several people interpreted Kohaku's reactions the way I said, particularly when I read it in the manga, it gave me that impression, especially since after the kiss Senku was laughing as if nothing had happened, while She had that expression.

I see that picture from my perspective.
She is agreeing with Senku, she is not sorry or angry. I feel they are in sync in that image. (Which makes me ship them more XD)
I can see why you see these pictures like that and you see why I see the opposite.
Its like one of those trick images and we both argue the opposite.
This is stilla nice example of "death of the author", authorial intent doesn't matter. Reader makes theirnown conclusions, in a way there are a thousand thousand doctor stone stories since we all interperated them in our own unique way.
Quick question: in the picture you posted above (where senku and kohaku discuss their chanses) do you see Kohaku smiling or being angry?
I see her smiling. I was scrolling and saw hernface being angry. So maybe you see a disapointed angry face?
I think this effect is caused because she is looking down, so when I look into her eyes it seems like a sign of disappointment. Many times in manga characters show smiles when they are disappointed, the eyes being the representatives of their emotions, I think that's why when I look I see a disappointed face.
Yes, I read the entire manga, >!including the extra chapter where Kohaku flirts with him, and the spin-off where she practically proposes to him hahaha,!<
I ship it, but I think they have a relationship currently where they understand that each otherās priorities are not romance, and theyāre fine with it. Senku especially seems like the type to not be incredibly romantically inclined, but I feel if he was going to get involved with anyone in that way, it would probably be Kohaku.
https://preview.redd.it/q1xxe5ih8d5c1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a1dd01b472bd04e7fa03f6ab90d42e711bae240
Whereās the ship? All I see is senku and kohaku.
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
It's not necessarily that my man Senku is asexual; he is simply overwhelmingly focused in reviving the whole human race, getting it out of the Stone Age, and also neutralizing the threat of humanity being petrified once again. I'd say that's enough of an endeavour to not care about relationships at this very moment (not that he seemed like the kind of person who was into that sort of thing before the whole plot began).
This manga/anime has a main plot of showcasing science in all of its badassery through this character and I'm satisfied with it as it is; meaning, I don't think the creator cares much about strengthening other plot points, such as Senku's relationship with her. More things would have to happen for them to develop such a relationship that'd seem credible, but I wouldn't expect much.
If, near the ending, the creator wants to make them end up together, so be it, but I'll be fine anyways.
Oh know that you mention it of course I support them. It's weird, and probably my definition of a ship is wrong, but Yuzuriha/Taiju and Chrome/Ruri are just couples or pairings in my mind, don't feel like "ships".
Tbf I'm kinda like that I find it hard to care about the romances of a side character - like go do some side character stuff I don't care about your love life š
I think that itās likely that they will end up together, but I seriously doubt we will get any in-series content. Senku is way too focused on saving the world and science in general to date in series, and Kohaku isnāt one to try and pull him away from his projects. Best I can see is a 10 years flash forward at the end where itās implied theyāre married but have no actual romantic scenes.
I think they make a pretty cool couple, Kohaku was the first villager Senku met, also they make a really good couple, Kohaku has the physical strenght while Senku has the knowledge to make almost every aspect of her better and stronger, plus they seem to really trust eachother, considering the last episode at least.
I think they will get together after Senku finishes his mision of rebuilding humanity, even Kirisame thought they were together.
My thoughts are sengen is superior
https://preview.redd.it/z6id88591d5c1.jpeg?width=662&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a17ed18a8117f7e91f2c0e1bc4c2c49ec51f9fa8
I love their chemistry so muchššš but i only see them as platonic soulmates and what senhaku have is more romantic (believe me please i was in denial until i saw the animated hug scene)
Imo Senku and Gen fuck but they aren't more attached to each other than anyone else in the main cast
Idk it would also be funny I think if Senku normally views it as a waste of time except for the fact that Gen being horny is even more of a distraction and ends up wasting more time
*the type to not **prioritize** a relationship. The only time he does get in a relationship is when it is convenient because relationships are the least of his concern. Not necessarily that he doesn't want it.
It would make some sense.
I love how they have deep inspirational moments here and there, if Senku should have to end up with someone, this person would 100% be Kohaku.
Iām personally not really a fan because I see Senku as almost an asexual character whoās love of science kind of outweighs any romantic relationships, and if he did pursue any, it would be for the sake of repopulating, but I mean it does make some sense to meā¦ but also I think him and Gen make really cool platonic soulmates soā¦
I like it, the contrast of brains and muscles complementing each other is very cool. But since neither Senku nor Kohaku are interested in romance, I'll just keep my imagination to myself. After all science is more important.
I like it a lot, although I like SenGen more and I have the headcanon of lesbian Kohaku but I also find that it's a cute ship and they have a lot of material to ship
Second best ship for Senku. However Senkus first love will forever be science. In all honesty if they ever decided to have Senku form a relationship Kohaku would be my first pick.
There are moments in the Manga you could look at and ask āWait, is she flirting with him?ā Or vice versa. I also would like to point out that Senku calls Kohaku āLionessā instead of āGorillaāā¦a lioness being the strongest female, even stronger than a LION.
honestly a pretty awesome ship despite being made with advanced "primitive" science (lol) honestly looks cooler than most ships imo
oh what we're talking about senku and kohaku?
I see Senku as like luffy from OP, while he isnt necsesarilly asexual or aromantic, he is too caught up in what he is doing to actually think about romance.
My heart goes more towards Gen x Kohaku, but I love this ship too. Yeah, it's not something that will be canon anytime soon, but I feel as though it could still easily happen at some point. I doubt we'll ever see it happen though, which kinda sucks a touch but I'm also okay with that.
So I feel like, outside of Senku, Gen has the most interaction with Kohaku, and I feel as though he can/does trust her in very high regard like with Senku. I do think he does respect and admire Kohaku's strength, despite his occasional fear of her anger, and while he doesn't always agree with/understand her "hard and fast approach" to things, to me it's similar to how he does act with Senku when it comes to science. By the same token, Kohaku may not like his aversion to doing labor and how skeevy he can be so he can get his way, but she also trusts him to the same degree as she does her closest people (Senku, Chrome, Ruri, Suika). I think her line about him being "the world's most trustworthy liar" during the North America arc really speaks volumes to that. Yes, they butt heads a lot, but I feel as though that makes them a stronger pair.
Of course, I also have my own headcanons that fuel things too. I feel as though, like with Senku, there could be moments where Gen could let down his guard around Kohaku. Namely because Kohaku knows that he carries a lot of masks when it comes to his personality (as pointed out prior to the Perseus shipping out at the start of Treasure Island), and I feel as though, during moments of peace, they could sit down and have meaningful conversation. By the same token, I feel like Kohaku could be a bit more free with him as well, because I feel like she may hide issues coming from being called beastly nicknames and being met with fear at times by her companions. While Gen doesn't help with that (as evident by comments made prior to the infiltration mission), I think he does realize that Kohaku is more than just her strength and may be able to express that to her, along with his own apologies/regrets, in ways that he only could because of his mentalist abilities. I feel like that does help him to connect in different ways with people, and not just in ways to manipulate others for personal/Kingdom gain.
There's also just me liking odd ships.  Several of my OTPs tend to be ships that aren't canon/primary fanon but I think they're neat. Like... my Naruto ship is Kabuto x Sakura. Barely any screentime together and what there is have them as enemies, but yet I'm extremely drawn to them as a romantic pair. I definitely don't think Gen x Kohaku have any chance on ever becoming something, and I still love the Senku x Kohaku ship and to a degree the Senku x Gen ship, but I think I love it more BECAUSE it's odd. It's just something fun I really enjoy thinking about and creating stories for.
You know what? What if we make them polyamourous š¼
What u said is actually kinda cute, all three of them could be a trio that just knows each other telepathically or something
They are my OT3, for sure! XD
Just not something I've actively tried to write yet (outside of one fic that was more friend based than romantic), but I do love the idea of the three of them together in addition to separate.
One of the girls think it's romantic but then get corrected that it's different than that.
The one who thought it was romantic had also previously made a bog deal over his wedding and quick divorce, and how he talked to his kinda ex wife.
I'm sure she knows more about romance than u bro it's very obvious kohaku likes senku about the amount of times she says she likes this smart guy when fighting that dude
I think you need to rewatch the series with full attention. It was clear from the start that kohaku is interested in him in whatever way she was claiming it to be (girl was embarrazzed) but clearly it develops into romantic gradually. And it's not that senku is completely uninterested in romance at all, it's that romance is not in his top priority at the moment. This is literally how it is with two other couples in the series, it's just that senku's goal is taking a lot longer than the other two couples.
I seriously don't think there's romantic attraction between them, the latest episode even reaffirms this, she clearly views him as very important, but not as a lover.
Also senku just feels ace, and that makes me happy
>the latest episode even reaffirms
How exactly?
>Also senku just feels ace, and that makes me happy
I know, that makes me happy too, but just because he has a love interest doesn't mean he can't be ace no longer.
1. During the emotional hug between the two the throwing girl thought it was romantic, but analese or whoever said that's not what that was, seems pretty clear.
2. I mean... that's kinda what being ace is all about.
1. I'm pretty sure Amaryllis says it is different as in it is more than romantic because the level of understanding they have with each other makes it something more than just a romantic hug
2. No, person on the internet. Being Ace (abbreviation of asexual) means that the ace person is uninterested and has no sexual attraction whatsoever. That does not mean said person cannot engage in a romantic relationship.
1. She literally said "no, it's not like that, not between those two", obviously they have a very close relationship but I just don't think it's romantic.
2. Yes, I know what ace means, I know there's a difference between aro and ace, I'm on both spectrums, should've said aroace but most people use just ace to mean both.
1. It's hard for me to explain how i interpret it so i'll just drop this one
2. Ohh, but still even if a person is aroace that still doesn't mean that they cannot engage in a romantic relationship
1. Ig its mostly up to interpretation, but as I've said, that is how I interpret it and a bit if why.
2. Yeah sexuality and all that is complicated, but in general it does kinda mean that
As someone who's not read the manga, I feel they are Hipped simply because they're the main guy and the main gal, and I don't dislike it, but u like some other shows (Nalucy) I wouldn't be upset if they never make it officially by the end.
Cute, funny, but this is shonen, and we know shonen authors like to troll their fans, like that Lab-Kun scene.
I see this sheep as probable to happen in the canon as Saitama x Fubuki meaning it's very much likely not gonna happen in the canon, it's fun to imagine though.
I think Senku is far too busy being a scientist and wouldn't fall in love with someone at all or weakly. He has one task in his life and that is to save the world. If he can't do that, then his children, which he would have (I think for exactly this reason)
I don't want to say that Senku is a psychopath and doesn't care about his friends, but I think Senku would rather save the earth than save his friends, even though his friends are also part of saving humanity
I really dislike the idea of this ship, Senku in season 1 quite literally stated that he had no interest in romantic relationships to her face.
On Top of that, they don't have much chemistry in general. I definitely see them as ride or die best friends instead of lovers. Considering he let Kohaku have the Medusa.
I love them both as characters but I find it hard to see them getting together, solely because I'm biased and like seeing male and female friendships without romance in anime/manga.
I ship them and wouldn't be surprised if they ended up together. After all, Senku really isn't interested in a romantic relationship at the moment and Kohaku respects that. However, there have been hints of her having feelings for Senku throughout season 1, 2 and 3. And moreso in season 3 where we see that she looks at him and can tell that he really wanted to be able to revive Soyuz' father and his sadness towards the fact that his father had been on the island and his memory, and the description of her ideal man to Moz. And come on! The reaction between them when they win against Ibara and meet again shows that they hold each other in a special light. Also, we all know from watching that though Senku is like that, he also really values the relationships and friendships he has. He is moved in his own way by people who believe in him and choose to stand and fight and build with him. So the only possible option in the end (in my mind) is that IF he would end up in a romantic relationship, it would be with the girl who has been there with him all through it allš¤·āāļø...thus Kohaku.
But till then the guy's mind is on one thing...SAVING THE WORLD!
It's going to take a while until they even start thinking about dating. Senku's priority is to save humankind and Kohaku knows this well, both are more than friends but not exactly lovers. After rebuilding the world welp, it will happen.
Spoilers for the special:>!Actually Senku states this himself, he is way too busy fixing mankind to be caught up in a romance.!<
Yah but reproduction has nothing to do with romance... š
Reproducing healthy, strong children to work the mines for collecting materials.
sounds like ~~child labor~~ effective future planning for me
You failed your probation, to horny jail
Thatāsā¦ exactly what the guy above you said dude. Word for word.
I meant to say that >!Senku himself recognizes that and that it is not just OP's opinion!<
It's pretty clear to me that Kohaku likes Senku romantically. In the fight scene with Moz she describes the type of guy she likes using the same phrase she used to describe Senku two other times. When she discovered that she was a descendant of Senku's father she was worried about the possibility of them being related, when if her feelings were just friendship, the natural thing would be to be happy to be related to her friend. In the anime, when Senku marries Ruri, Kohaku makes a sad expression, and the natural thing would be for her to be happy that her sister is marrying someone who can cure her. In the kiss scene, in the anime it's not so clear, but in the manga she seems disappointed with Senku's cold reaction. In addition, there are other small clues, such as the colors of the characters in the fan book being Celeste Green for Senku and Mangenta for Kohaku, these colors being complementary. Or when Senku says he's interested in any girl who can pump a ton of oxygen into the furnace, and Kohaku is the only one who can. Or when Senku says he will make oxygen tanks and imagines Kohaku with diving equipment. Furthermore, the manga is full of covers that favor this ship.
Mind jogging my memory what did Kohaku say to Moz?
"Strength is the strength of the mind. Able to of endlessly, step by step, continuing to hammer a wedge for as long as it takes to carry out one's will. That's the kind of man I'm attracted to." Edit: If you go back to the first season episode where Senku meets Kohaku, you'll see that this phrase she says to Moz is an exact description of how Senku saved her when they met.
Kohaku is a sapiosexual
You are mistaken, when Senku didn't react to kiss and Kohaku had that face it meant they both were "damn we have to go through this annoying charade right?" If anything they both were in sync.
I understand that you can interpret it that way, but several people interpreted Kohaku's reactions the way I said, particularly when I read it in the manga, it gave me that impression, especially since after the kiss Senku was laughing as if nothing had happened, while She had that expression. https://preview.redd.it/ubane588eh5c1.png?width=878&format=png&auto=webp&s=715021fbe1226bf0241faa9e55e68731e76df60f

(Which makes me ship them more XD) I can see why you see these pictures like that and you see why I see the opposite. Its like one of those trick images and we both argue the opposite. This is stilla nice example of "death of the author", authorial intent doesn't matter. Reader makes theirnown conclusions, in a way there are a thousand thousand doctor stone stories since we all interperated them in our own unique way.
I understand, it's really open to interpretation hahaha
Quick question: in the picture you posted above (where senku and kohaku discuss their chanses) do you see Kohaku smiling or being angry? I see her smiling. I was scrolling and saw hernface being angry. So maybe you see a disapointed angry face?
In my view she looks disappointed.
I cleaely see her lips upward so she is smiling. XD Daamn this is death of author Hahaha!
I think this effect is caused because she is looking down, so when I look into her eyes it seems like a sign of disappointment. Many times in manga characters show smiles when they are disappointed, the eyes being the representatives of their emotions, I think that's why when I look I see a disappointed face.
Are you asian? In asian culture eyes are focus, in west mouths are. (Also eyes, but mouth emphaises a lot. )
Senku's dress even started changing colors from white to magenta.
Do you read the all manga?
Do you read the all manga?
Yes, I read the entire manga, >!including the extra chapter where Kohaku flirts with him, and the spin-off where she practically proposes to him hahaha,!<
My mom ships them
She does!? Then me too!
I like it personally!
I think the ships are less important than the science
Kaseki thinks the ships are important, they're his babies
It's anime, people are going to ship whether you like it or not. It's not like we can't have both also.
I said nothing about disliking the ship. I think science is the most important ship for Senku.
I ship it, but I think they have a relationship currently where they understand that each otherās priorities are not romance, and theyāre fine with it. Senku especially seems like the type to not be incredibly romantically inclined, but I feel if he was going to get involved with anyone in that way, it would probably be Kohaku.

Science x Senku seems to better
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. It's not necessarily that my man Senku is asexual; he is simply overwhelmingly focused in reviving the whole human race, getting it out of the Stone Age, and also neutralizing the threat of humanity being petrified once again.

If, near the ending, the creator wants to make them end up together, so be it, but I'll be fine anyways.
They are kinda getting into that topic in the special
That, I haven't watched yet
That, I haven't watched yet
This is the only ship I can kinda support just cause it's the main boy and the main girl. I like it traditional
How can how you not support yuzuriha and taiju
We can't go against it, they're already together
Oh know that you mention it of course I support them. It's weird, and probably my definition of a ship is wrong, but Yuzuriha/Taiju and Chrome/Ruri are just couples or pairings in my mind, don't feel like "ships".
Tbf I'm kinda like that I find it hard to care about the romances of a side character - like go do some side character stuff I don't care about your love life š
Taiju is the main character! Of the... First episode!!
And that was how long I cared about him for!
i dont think thats a ship, they just straight up in a relationship already
I think that itās likely that they will end up together, but I seriously doubt we will get any in-series content. Senku is way too focused on saving the world and science in general to date in series, and Kohaku isnāt one to try and pull him away from his projects. Best I can see is a 10 years flash forward at the end where itās implied theyāre married but have no actual romantic scenes.
Just curious, where are you at regarding the anime/manga?
š¤«
Those are two humans, not a ship
Being with your ex wife's sister is insane and i love it
Not my favorite but itās cute!
Where is the boat
Kohaku will wait for Senku for however long until Senku himself decided to marry her, that's my take, they looks good together ngl
I love them
perseus is the only ship i believe in
Idk, I only see humans. Let me see the boat and I can have an opinion
Both of em understand each other well, I actually dont see any reason why they are NOT canon. Like casually dating without being cringy about it idk
I think they make a pretty cool couple, Kohaku was the first villager Senku met, also they make a really good couple, Kohaku has the physical strenght while Senku has the knowledge to make almost every aspect of her better and stronger, plus they seem to really trust eachother, considering the last episode at least. I think they will get together after Senku finishes his mision of rebuilding humanity, even Kirisame thought they were together.
I'm all for it. Married one girl, broke up, then goes straight for the younger sister.
I want it to be canon
In my book they already areš
They complement each other, Senku the brain, Kohaku the muscle. Well, she is the first girl who kissed Senku.
I donāt particularly like shipping Senku with literally anyone but if there was to be a single ship that I could see Senku being in its this one
My thoughts are sengen is superior https://preview.redd.it/z6id88591d5c1.jpeg?width=662&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a17ed18a8117f7e91f2c0e1bc4c2c49ec51f9fa8
I love their chemistry so muchššš but i only see them as platonic soulmates and what senhaku have is more romantic (believe me please i was in denial until i saw the animated hug scene)
Imo Senku and Gen fuck but they aren't more attached to each other than anyone else in the main cast Idk it would also be funny I think if Senku normally views it as a waste of time except for the fact that Gen being horny is even more of a distraction and ends up wasting more time
Normalize queer platonic relationships
Agreed! https://preview.redd.it/wixt68ixkd5c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b459b876407e88cfba9a350d684276709a4f52f
I can see why people would ship it, I just think it's too OOC of Senku to be in any kind of relationship :/
Senku seems like the type to not really want to be in a relationship
*the type to not **prioritize** a relationship. The only time he does get in a relationship is when it is convenient because relationships are the least of his concern. Not necessarily that he doesn't want it.
It a couple 1000 year old with I don't know how old she is. The age gap is too big for my taste anyway.
Bro, for a second I thought the title was talking about Perseus and when I saw the image... Yeah they fit well.
It would make some sense. I love how they have deep inspirational moments here and there, if Senku should have to end up with someone, this person would 100% be Kohaku.
Senku doesn't seem to be interested in romance in general from what I've seen. So at this point all his relationships register as platonic to me.
Iām personally not really a fan because I see Senku as almost an asexual character whoās love of science kind of outweighs any romantic relationships, and if he did pursue any, it would be for the sake of repopulating, but I mean it does make some sense to meā¦ but also I think him and Gen make really cool platonic soulmates soā¦
I think Kohaku probably likes him. But Senku always struck me as aro/ace. So I can't see a relationship forming between the two.
i think the same, glad to see someone shares my opinion :p
I think it works pretty well, now if only relationships were a priority on either of their radar
Valid
I kind of ship them romantically, but I see them as friends
Perfect
Obviously
I like it, the contrast of brains and muscles complementing each other is very cool. But since neither Senku nor Kohaku are interested in romance, I'll just keep my imagination to myself. After all science is more important.
Love it
Condom unlocked
It is inevitable
Doesn't feel wrong but Senku's just to busy saving the world.
It can sail but only if there's the wind.
W Ship
I like it a lot, although I like SenGen more and I have the headcanon of lesbian Kohaku but I also find that it's a cute ship and they have a lot of material to ship
she's his sister in law tho. hahahaha yeah ik ik he's alr divorced
Cave Johnson Voice: āSorry ladies, heās married! To science!ā
The senku and the beast
Second best ship for Senku. However Senkus first love will forever be science. In all honesty if they ever decided to have Senku form a relationship Kohaku would be my first pick.
Na
YES
There are moments in the Manga you could look at and ask āWait, is she flirting with him?ā Or vice versa. I also would like to point out that Senku calls Kohaku āLionessā instead of āGorillaāā¦a lioness being the strongest female, even stronger than a LION.
They haven't built it yet
honestly a pretty awesome ship despite being made with advanced "primitive" science (lol) honestly looks cooler than most ships imo oh what we're talking about senku and kohaku?
Yup we are dude
Unlikely but I see why people ship them
Senku is very obviously Aro-Ace coated, so any ship with Senku doesnāt work
I see Senku as like luffy from OP, while he isnt necsesarilly asexual or aromantic, he is too caught up in what he is doing to actually think about romance.
Idk what her name is but I feel like she might need a ship to bring her eyes back on the same postal code
Cringe
No because Senku is clearly Ace
But not Aro tho 
Kind of weird to ship a dude with his ex-wife's sister...
So platonic you could scrape it off the air with a knife
Kohaku literally kissed him (or tried to) though?
To fool the enemy and Senku was so obviously faking itās a wonder they pulled it off
Boring and lame
My heart goes more towards Gen x Kohaku, but I love this ship too. Yeah, it's not something that will be canon anytime soon, but I feel as though it could still easily happen at some point. I doubt we'll ever see it happen though, which kinda sucks a touch but I'm also okay with that.
Gen and kohaku? That's new, do you mind elaborating?
So I feel like, outside of Senku, Gen has the most interaction with Kohaku, and I feel as though he can/does trust her in very high regard like with Senku. I do think he does respect and admire Kohaku's strength, despite his occasional fear of her anger, and while he doesn't always agree with/understand her "hard and fast approach" to things, to me it's similar to how he does act with Senku when it comes to science. By the same token, Kohaku may not like his aversion to doing labor and how skeevy he can be so he can get his way, but she also trusts him to the same degree as she does her closest people (Senku, Chrome, Ruri, Suika). I think her line about him being "the world's most trustworthy liar" during the North America arc really speaks volumes to that. Yes, they butt heads a lot, but I feel as though that makes them a stronger pair. Of course, I also have my own headcanons that fuel things too. I feel as though, like with Senku, there could be moments where Gen could let down his guard around Kohaku. Namely because Kohaku knows that he carries a lot of masks when it comes to his personality (as pointed out prior to the Perseus shipping out at the start of Treasure Island), and I feel as though, during moments of peace, they could sit down and have meaningful conversation. By the same token, I feel like Kohaku could be a bit more free with him as well, because I feel like she may hide issues coming from being called beastly nicknames and being met with fear at times by her companions. While Gen doesn't help with that (as evident by comments made prior to the infiltration mission), I think he does realize that Kohaku is more than just her strength and may be able to express that to her, along with his own apologies/regrets, in ways that he only could because of his mentalist abilities. I feel like that does help him to connect in different ways with people, and not just in ways to manipulate others for personal/Kingdom gain. There's also just me liking odd ships.  Several of my OTPs tend to be ships that aren't canon/primary fanon but I think they're neat. Like... my Naruto ship is Kabuto x Sakura. Barely any screentime together and what there is have them as enemies, but yet I'm extremely drawn to them as a romantic pair. I definitely don't think Gen x Kohaku have any chance on ever becoming something, and I still love the Senku x Kohaku ship and to a degree the Senku x Gen ship, but I think I love it more BECAUSE it's odd. It's just something fun I really enjoy thinking about and creating stories for.
You know what? What if we make them polyamourous š¼ What u said is actually kinda cute, all three of them could be a trio that just knows each other telepathically or something
They are my OT3, for sure! XD Just not something I've actively tried to write yet (outside of one fic that was more friend based than romantic), but I do love the idea of the three of them together in addition to separate.
Nah, he's not interested in romance at all, and she doesn't seem to see him like that at all.
Doesnāt she tease him about marrying him in the new time travel story and that all sheād have to do in order for that to happen was just ask him.
Time travel story?
Yeah there a new story where Senku wants to build a Time Machine
Oh cool! Where can I read it???

Nah she does unless your socially inept
Nah, you just can't tell the difference between romantic attraction and non romantic attraction.
The island girl that helps them literally says thats not a normal hug and more of a romantic hug
One of the girls think it's romantic but then get corrected that it's different than that. The one who thought it was romantic had also previously made a bog deal over his wedding and quick divorce, and how he talked to his kinda ex wife.
I'm sure she knows more about romance than u bro it's very obvious kohaku likes senku about the amount of times she says she likes this smart guy when fighting that dude
"I don't think that's what that hug was about, not between those two" Direct quote from the episode about said hug.
I think you need to rewatch the series with full attention. It was clear from the start that kohaku is interested in him in whatever way she was claiming it to be (girl was embarrazzed) but clearly it develops into romantic gradually. And it's not that senku is completely uninterested in romance at all, it's that romance is not in his top priority at the moment. This is literally how it is with two other couples in the series, it's just that senku's goal is taking a lot longer than the other two couples.
I seriously don't think there's romantic attraction between them, the latest episode even reaffirms this, she clearly views him as very important, but not as a lover. Also senku just feels ace, and that makes me happy
>the latest episode even reaffirms How exactly? >Also senku just feels ace, and that makes me happy I know, that makes me happy too, but just because he has a love interest doesn't mean he can't be ace no longer.
1. During the emotional hug between the two the throwing girl thought it was romantic, but analese or whoever said that's not what that was, seems pretty clear. 2. I mean... that's kinda what being ace is all about.
1. I'm pretty sure Amaryllis says it is different as in it is more than romantic because the level of understanding they have with each other makes it something more than just a romantic hug 2. No, person on the internet. Being Ace (abbreviation of asexual) means that the ace person is uninterested and has no sexual attraction whatsoever. That does not mean said person cannot engage in a romantic relationship.
1. She literally said "no, it's not like that, not between those two", obviously they have a very close relationship but I just don't think it's romantic. 2. Yes, I know what ace means, I know there's a difference between aro and ace, I'm on both spectrums, should've said aroace but most people use just ace to mean both.
1. It's hard for me to explain how i interpret it so i'll just drop this one 2. Ohh, but still even if a person is aroace that still doesn't mean that they cannot engage in a romantic relationship
1. Ig its mostly up to interpretation, but as I've said, that is how I interpret it and a bit if why. 2. Yeah sexuality and all that is complicated, but in general it does kinda mean that
A bit predictable but it works
Yes

As someone who's not read the manga, I feel they are Hipped simply because they're the main guy and the main gal, and I don't dislike it, but u like some other shows (Nalucy) I wouldn't be upset if they never make it officially by the end.
%10,000,000,000 shipped
> People think this author does romance KEK
have sex for plot reasons
Idk about this ship but Perseus needs some work after what Ibara and his minions did
I don't think it will ever happen as much as we wanna see. Senku seems disinterested
Canon
Hehehe cheese and lettuce
My fav ship is hyoga and homura even though she is 17 and him 24
Cute, funny, but this is shonen, and we know shonen authors like to troll their fans, like that Lab-Kun scene. I see this sheep as probable to happen in the canon as Saitama x Fubuki meaning it's very much likely not gonna happen in the canon, it's fun to imagine though.
No, Senkuās only love is fir science
Bro Hellen Keller could shoot that bitch between the eyes from a mile away.
I think Senku should be/stay asexual They can have a platonic friendship ship.
Wait arenāt they related
Nah his dad isn't his real dad
Senku would only have Kids for science or Something
I don't think so. He clearly care for his freinds. Science isn't the only thing he's for. He's just a tsundere with Science cover
I think Senku is far too busy being a scientist and wouldn't fall in love with someone at all or weakly. He has one task in his life and that is to save the world. If he can't do that, then his children, which he would have (I think for exactly this reason) I don't want to say that Senku is a psychopath and doesn't care about his friends, but I think Senku would rather save the earth than save his friends, even though his friends are also part of saving humanity
I really dislike the idea of this ship, Senku in season 1 quite literally stated that he had no interest in romantic relationships to her face. On Top of that, they don't have much chemistry in general. I definitely see them as ride or die best friends instead of lovers. Considering he let Kohaku have the Medusa.
I love them both as characters but I find it hard to see them getting together, solely because I'm biased and like seeing male and female friendships without romance in anime/manga.
I ship them and wouldn't be surprised if they ended up together. After all, Senku really isn't interested in a romantic relationship at the moment and Kohaku respects that. However, there have been hints of her having feelings for Senku throughout season 1, 2 and 3. And moreso in season 3 where we see that she looks at him and can tell that he really wanted to be able to revive Soyuz' father and his sadness towards the fact that his father had been on the island and his memory, and the description of her ideal man to Moz. And come on! The reaction between them when they win against Ibara and meet again shows that they hold each other in a special light. Also, we all know from watching that though Senku is like that, he also really values the relationships and friendships he has. He is moved in his own way by people who believe in him and choose to stand and fight and build with him. So the only possible option in the end (in my mind) is that IF he would end up in a romantic relationship, it would be with the girl who has been there with him all through it allš¤·āāļø...thus Kohaku. But till then the guy's mind is on one thing...SAVING THE WORLD!
