Kanda is crazy strong. It took three Exorcists (Lavi, Krory, and Bookman) to take down one of these Akumas with great difficulty. Kanda does it alone in three seconds without breaking a sweat. Lavi legit looks scared by how strong Kanda is. It’s like, “Holy shit, this is a guy I routinely try to piss off; I had no idea he could do that.”
And yet
He’s letting himself be led by Johnny, who barely has a fraction of Kanda’s strength. I can’t even get over how cute this scene is. This is the only person in DGM so far who killed a Noah, and Johnny’s just dragging him around like it’s no big deal. It’s like this massive German shepherd is letting himself be pushed around by a hyperactive puppy because he thinks it’s cute.
Also, this scene:
Johnny is literally shoving that bottle into Kanda’s hands (and his face has gone all dark too lol), and Kanda’s resisting…barely. I mean, he looks pissed, but it wouldn’t be hard for him to snap Johnny’s wrist by accident. It would be like breaking a dry leaf in half to him. It would be nothing.
Guys. Kanda is putting a massive cap on his strength around Johnny to make sure he doesn’t hurt him. And Johnny’s not scared at all. Even though Kanda has a reputation for being nasty, Johnny’s just like, “Oh, Kanda, lol, why should I be scared he’s just a total sap with a grouchy face here let me mother hen the pants off him.” Even when Kanda rips the bottle away from Johnny, you can bet he’s only using an ounce of his actual strength to make sure Johnny isn’t hurt.
Okay but how did Allen know about cactus Kanda? Let me tell you! It happened one night Allen couldn’t sleep, and so he went to the kitchen because he has that habit and food is the only thing that calms him a little.
And so he enters but stops in his tracks because Kanda is in front of the sink, and for a moment Allen considers running away but he doesn’t because what the hell is Kanda doing up at midnight besides training?
And then Kanda turns and…hOLY IS HE SMILING? And the smile doesn’t last much, and Kanda’s hair is a mess (if you can call a few hairs sticking out a mess) and he probably already killed Allen 5 times in his head, but Allen’s whole attention is on the small spiky thing resting in Kanda’s hands.
“I swear to god if you te-” “What’s that?” he doesn’t give a shit about the murderous gaze he’s receiving “WHO, it’s a girl, you assh-” but Kanda stops and realizes, and Allen smiles because he too realizes “You came to water it” and Kanda feels like killing him but he just starts walking towards the exit “You talk you die Beansprout” and the last thing Allen hears before Kanda disappears is “AND IT’S A GIRL”
OMG KANDA IS JEALOUS THAT THE BEANSPROUT WILL SEDUCE HIS CACTUS!
ACTUALLY YES! ALLEN BOTHERS HIM EVERY MORNING, HE APPEARS WITH THIS FOXY GRIN AND ASKS “how’s she doing?” AND KANDA JUST WANTS TO PUNCH HIM AND HE ACTUALLY DID IT ONCE, “touch her and you die Beansprout”
OMG KANDA ONCE HAD A NIGHTMARE WHERE HIS CACTUS GREW BEANSPROUTS! HE WOKE UP SCREAMING AND RAN TO KILL ALLEN IN HIS SLEEP
LENA HAS TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO SEPARATE THEM. KANDA CARRIES HIS CACTUS FOR A WHOLE WEEK, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE HE GOES, THE CACTUS IS ALSO THERE BECAUSE HE JUST CAN’T FORGET THAT NIGHTMARE.
Lavi makes things even worse when he says that he saw Allen shoot longing looks to his cactus. Kanda’s even more determined to kill Allen.
The funny thing is that Allen actually does that. He knows the cactus is in Lena’s room and he peeks through the door because that’s the most beautiful and cute thing he’s ever seen. Then one day Kanda catches him peeking.
And maybe a little bit Allen is happy that Kanda actually cares for something and he’s not just obsessed with missions. He considers picking up pretty rocks from missions and give it to the small cactus – hoping that Kanda will accept it as an offering of peace and hope doesn’t tell him on Komui for being in 100 metres radius within Lena’s room..
Kanda: *recognizes that he’s feeling genuine human emotion*
Kanda: Okay… this is troubling.
