Onodera is the Perfect Waifu...and THAT's the Problem

hello everybody and welcome to another video on Nisekoi if you're coming into this video I also highly suggest afterwards that you check out my other video needs to koi ultimate love story because it continues a lot of what I talk about in this video and a lot of why talking about this video is like built upon in that video so go watch it and if you want more videos just like this make sure you like and subscribe to what you think of the comments below and make sure you hit that Bell so you never miss another upload of mine alright let's go when I first watched Nisekoi this series that ended up becoming my all-time favorite manga the first thing I thought was honestly how great all of the girls are the energetic and headstrong Kitty saki kitto gay the badass sugu me say Shiro the determined and passionate touch even America so on and so on they all were so amazing and enjoyable to watch in their own way but of all of them only one struck a chord with me only one was my best girl [Music] she's nice carrying clumsy modest and in general just a joy to watch from the moment she enters the scene in every moment that she's in there's something about her that draws my attention towards her and it seems it's not just me even in universe on Odetta is referred to as the goddess of the class so pure and innocent that everyone who sees her desires her it also wants to protect her she's shy yet willing to do whatever she can to help a friend and tries as hard she can when put to the test she's possibly most likely intentionally presented to us as the perfect waifu and that's the problem for all the praise that she gets from her fellow classmates there are still those who worried about her while she herself doesn't have any flosik a pose a problem for others her friends and family will point out that continuing to act the way she has won't do her any good they know that she can do more that she can improve but kosaki seems to not want to change or rather that she's former comfortable where she's at and in Nisekoi this story of girls fighting to grab the heart of the one that they love by challenging that which holds them back although dedica sake story is out of a girl who was given a role to fulfill a role that she has to learn to break out of I must once again preface this by explaining why roles and destiny plays such a huge role in the story of Nisekoi [Music] aside from its influences from fiction and he where from the prince in the popper to its obvious influence Romeo and Juliet the core the story is centered around Zaza in love the children's story that created the lock and keys that the players in our tale have staked their feelings on it's a story that details the love between a boy and a girl bound by a promise and a locket that the boy wears around his neck one day destined to be married to the promise girl who held the key a story that influenced Rocco and his childhood to form the same promise with a girl whose face II couldn't remember a girl who was his first love and represented a childish dream that he clung to symbolized by the locket he still wears around his neck similarly his first love that he holds a connection to not merely in memory is his crush uncle suk-hyun Odetta who he met in middle school and kept up a friendship with till the beginning of the story a crush that unbeknownst to him was mutual that's a close enough relationship where they can talk to each other every day and see each other but with enough distance where they can admire each other from afar they both had intentions of confess their love eventually but that would compromise the distance that comfort the idea of a confession that might result in rejection threatened to end the relationship that brought joy to their lives removing the risk and simply saying maybe someday was enough for both of them staying trapped in that fantasy was good enough in a previous video I discussed the idea that Nisekoi story is that of love and how true love separates itself from a childish crush because it forces two people to change and expose their feelings regardless of shame and the risk of pain because love is a connection that is just as painful as it is wonderful the very action takes risk from both parties and even the possibility that it will only result in rejection but regardless that love should be honest not just to the target of that love but also to the one who expresses it it requires honesty and a willingness to change oneself this is important to recall because this is a major conflict for every character within the story Nisekoi whether aware or not the girls that came into contact with Ichigo Rock who ended up falling in love with him yet each of them had something that prevented them from expressing that love Shido gay and suka we unknowingly fell in love with rock ooh yet denied it either from a failure to understand that it was love that they felt or from a personal barrier that prevented them from acknowledging those feelings how to had a fantasy in her head until she recognized that her feelings were for him it denied them out of consideration for her sister you we acknowledge those feelings yet denied them due to her desire hang on to the last millio connection she had left maddie kept hirsute them full of passion yet changed who she was and lied about what was painting her out of consideration for aku but Ono Dara out of all of these girls was different while unknowingly her feelings that she held her ocular mutual they were both in love with the other yet the only thing holding them back was not a lie not consideration but one thing and one thing alone fear of abandoning the comfort of distance her desire to be by his side was not enough to overpower the fear of what changing that relationship would mean it's not as if she didn't try she studied as hard as she could to get into the same school as him despite her grades and skills and academics lacking but it was effort that was only in service of keeping that distance the same going to different schools would mean that they wouldn't see each other being apartment that they couldn't greet each other in the morning and say goodbye at the end of the day failing met risking comfort so she tried as hard as she could to keep it but notice every time one of the confessions fails she's disappointed yet relieved for example take a look at this scene where owner Dara attempts to confess and watch her words after it falls apart the [Music] confession didn't go through but she was fine with that because failing that one more day to spend in that distance that she finds such warmth in effort that exists only to maintain a status quo to admire and love from a distance one thing that Ono Dara does not share amongst the other girls vying for Rocco's affection are any notable flaws sue goomy was raised to fundamentally reject the female side of herself and as such reacts to every feeling of attraction she has with violence and anger she wants to be more feminine but doesn't see herself as fit to be such as such every interaction she has with rocku ends up being violent and Rocco is intent to point this out Monica will being doting and loyal is obsessive pushy loud and intrusive she goes too far so much that is sometimes betrays how she really feels something that rocku once again attempts to fix Pato is overprotective yet sacrifices her own feelings for the sake of her sister something Rocco helps her get over similarly Yui is quick to push these feelings down as well yet Rocco wanted her to remember that she should see the bonds that she has around her that she's not and never was alone and most notably Kitty Saki cheeto Gaye is someone rock who can't stand everything about her he outright rejects even going so far as to deny her beauty just because he finds her irritating yet over and over again he helps her to improve the only one he does not try to help improve his own Odetta she's clumsy but that's cute so it's fine she's shy but that's also cute so it's fine she's quick to put others first but that scene is admirable the biggest and most obvious example is the old maid game both cheeto gay and kosaki had the same exact inability to have a poker face but while rock Lucy's owner Dara's is something adorable that he's willing to overlook he immediately comments on cheeto gaze she wants to improve her shyness get better at her cooking that she fails at but no one tells her that she should there's no reason to because even with those flaw she's still an ideal why is it the owner Dara is seen as being perfect despite having these glaring issues there is this idea in Japanese culture of the ideal Japanese woman known as the Yamato Nadeshiko the traits that are desired from one who is ideal are gentleness femininity devotion to their husbands a reserved nature that she never opposes him and his reminiscent of a flower oh no dead awhile being clumsy is still seen as cute because clumsiness is often perceived as a cute trait her shyness is seen as being reserved and since she doesn't like to speak her mind often this aspect is emphasized especially we take into account her tendency to put others first Oh no Dara's flaws are simply things that could be overlooked because they all fits into who rocku searches for the ideal girl the Yamato Nadeshiko these traits aren't exclusive to the ideal Japanese woman because her also traits we commonly associate with princesses Snow White Cinderella Sleeping Beauty The Little Mermaid and so many others star princesses that are gentle devoted kind and sweet all of these traits are the ideal and all of them are held by onna dedica sake as if she straight out of a fairy tale and as its revealed who the promise girl is she might as well be because the one who held the key to Rocky's heart all along was none other than the ideal girl he was already in love with from the very beginning Ono Dara was living in a fairy tale bound by a promise from childhood and reunited through fate and falling in love with the same boy all over again owner Dara and rocky were always bound to each other he already liked her and she already liked him there was no reason for her to have to try harder than any of the others because the one she loved was already convinced that he was in love with and could only love her always repeating over and over again I love Ono Dara I love no one else other than Ono Dara even when she brought him to her family's business her mom told him that the two of them should just marry and that together they would be able to work well him creating the Suites and her decorating to be by his side it was the role that she was given her victory practically handed to her on a silver platter but is that really fine is that what she really wants there's this moment where oh no Dara is trying to decide what her future is what it is exactly that she wants to do the only thing she seems to want is that she would be happy taking over her family's business and being my rocky side but other than that there's no real ambition by the time Nisekoi reaches the reveal of the promise girl everyone has an ambition a gold they can reach each of them is forced to change who they are some of them changed us for the sake of heavy rock ooh by their side but each and every one of them comes to a very important conclusion while they loved him and they desired his love they didn't need him so goomy had eventually become comfortable with the feminine side of herself and decided of her own volition that she wasn't going to live solely by following orders but for her own sake matica gained her freedom of her claim to her mom that she didn't need to be trapped anymore and went searching for a man she could love more than she ever loved rock ooh Yui was able to come to terms with her position realizing that she was far from alone and even when she got rejected that bond would it disappear how to have finally decided to do things for herself and upon realizing her feelings was able to move on from the prints that she kept pursuing the only one who did not change who could not change a pursuing ichido rock ooh was honored Etta kosaki nice to coy certs many things about love but the one thing it asserts is that love forces two individuals to change from the stagnant person that they are and move it asserts that love is when one person needs another owner dead as love for aku and vice versa was as strong as the love that grew between him and Kido game but that's what's important the love between Baku and cheeto Gaye grew if on Odetta represents the ideal japanese girl then she doe gave represents everything but the ideal she's loud brutish easy to anger always speaks her mind hit every chance she gets she tries to improve she makes an entire notebook keeping track of the personalities and little trivia bits of everyone in her class just so she can make friends she changes her ribbon just to get Rocky's attention once she realizes that she loves him she tries as hard as she can to come to terms with the feelings that she has she has all of these futures laid out for her but she tries as hard as she can for the one that she wants the only thing standing in cheeto gaze away was simply that she thought she wasn't worthy because there was someone there who already was from the beginning oh no no Dara already had Rocky's heart even back when they were children she was the one he gave the key to his heart yet every single girl clung to the things that rocky superficially said he liked and changed themselves to fit that rock who likes long hair some Monika grew hers out he liked the ribbon that the girl in solidly in love had so cheeto get wore the ribbon but again the only one who didn't change and rocky didn't find anything she needed to change was onna Dara because why would she she's the ideal the promise girl yet is said only for that role good enough if there's anything that whoa no Dara wanted to change about herself it was that she wanted to be more assertive it really pointed that out to her broody was one of the only people who saw what was going on that rock who loved dona Dara and that she loved him back and every time she had a chance Rudy pushed kosaki to come out of her shell she had everything laid out for her the only thing holding her back was that shyness that fear of stepping out of her comfort that was literally all that stood in her way because everything else she had in the bag he was obsessed with her so all she needed to do was get what she wanted all she needed to do to win was simply say I love you by the end of the series every other girl confessed their love and got rejected they threw their feelings forth with everything that they had and every one of them felt the pain of rejection but they were free they changed who they were reaching a state of change to where they had the confidence to express those feelings every single one of them was able to reach forward make one more step but not kosaki and what hurts the most is that's all she had to do one more step three words she couldn't even do it in two was already too late Roque who had fallen in love with someone else [Music] his feelings for cheeto gaya had grown everything about her is an imperfection the opposite of the yamato nadeshiko even down to the fact that she today was only half Japanese everything about her represents conflict but change can only exist with pain and honesty cheeto GAE had created this feeling that was different than the standstill love that had always existed to the point that had over wrote the fairy tale Chiaki wasn't even a promise girl she was nothing but a fake but that fate created a relationship and kept fighting despite how much fate was against her own Odetta was too late if only one month earlier one more second she would have won they had already dictated this that she was his crush she spent every day with him and knew everything about him she had a bond that made them inseparable she was the princess the heroine of this fairy tale from the very beginning the only thing she was missing was confidence and the moment she gathered up the courage to surpass her shine reserved self she was rejected he didn't love her like he loved cheeto Gaye he couldn't because the love that he felt was just that great in the locket that he held onto for so long he found a question do you still love me the fairy tale had always been there those feelings were the same even then even locked away even across all that time never changing but his answer was no and finally she was free her feelings ended in rejection but she finally had the confidence that she wanted for so long being with Roc would mean always being at his side again she couldn't cook without anyone's help but she wanted to get better being with raka would mean that she would always be stuck simply decorating never taking control by herself but the greatest example of this change the greatest symbol of her freedom was the massive wedding cake that she made for her friends something she was capable of on her own with her own efforts and her own hands her life wasn't a fairy-tale anymore it was more than that through imperfection and failure she was finally able to grow [Music] you [Music] thank you guys for watching another video by yours truly what the what I'd like to thank Holden Bramley for once again animating that one panel of Nisekoi
