In EP8, Yukino charged Hachiman with her wish that he grant Yui\u2019s wish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dutifully, Hachiman attempts to fulfill Yui\u2019s wishes. He spends the evening with Yui and her mother baking pastries, and as they are out walking, he comes to a conclusion which he acknowledges only to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;\u201cIf  only I could continue living out my days like this, granting all of her  wishes one by one. That impossible fantasy played out in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Hachiman  has gone as far as he can in granting Yui\u2019s wishes which means he is  not about to grant her Romantic interests. Yui is not the one for him.  Hachiman has made a choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This outcome in all likelihood means that Yukino will be his number 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many  fans dislike Yukino and support other girls like Yui, Iroha, Shizuka  but they disregard Hachiman. &nbsp;Their fandom seems to be a choice for  themselves, and not for Hachiman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After  all, Yukino has a very similar personality to Hachiman. She tends to be  a loner, and is very honest and direct with others. The best example of  how this works in her character is when she first meets withTamanawa,  and after listening briefly to nonsense, she proceeds to call him and  his entire team out in blunt and direct talk. She takes no prisoners.  But she gets the Christmas party back on track, and saves the event.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I  think Ice Queen is a very unfair characterization. She definitely has  very strong emotions, which she generally does not show. As she says,  the relationship to Yui and Hachiman has had a strong effect upon her,  and has helped her to become even more outwardly emotional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hachiman  is a cynical loner who believes he only speaks the truth. The three  females who he most reacts to are Komachi Hikigaya, Shizuka Hiratsuka,  and Yukino Yukinoshita. Although these three are very different from  each other, in relationship to Hachiman, they have serious similarities.  All three are honest, and direct with him. When they think he is wrong,  they do not hesitate to tell him, and Hachiman  responds to that kind of behavior. In fact, he needs that because his  overriding value is \u201cthat which is genuine\u201d, the truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But these three have problems which would prevent a relationship with Hachiman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Komachi is his sister, enough said. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has already talked with Shizuka and acknowledged that had he been 10 years older, he would marry her. But as things are, there is a serious age-gap between them. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which leaves Yukino. He in all likelihood does have strong feelings for Yukino. &nbsp;But  there is a serious problem. While the Hikigaya family appears to be  well off, they have a very nice home, they are not in any way close to  the social level of the Yukinoshita family. Hachiman has already said  that he hopes he never sees Yukino\u2019s mother ever again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At  least in subtext, it would appear that perhaps the Yukinoshita family  and the Hayama family have already discussed pairing Yukino with Hayato.  They have been together since early in their childhoods, and Yukino even gave chocolates to Hayato. But Hayato\u2019s lack of support for Yukino has caused a falling out. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yukino has been shown to harbor feelings for Hachiman. She asked him out on a shopping date, and that was of such significance that she mentions it again, and how nervous she was. At the end of season 2, she almost gives Hachiman her homemade cookies, only stopping because Yui did so first. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would  the Yukinoshita family, especially Yukino\u2019s mother, accept Hachiman? He  definitely impressed her to the point where she needed to cover her  face with her fan to hide her emotions. This is a very open question, and must be addressed before a (Hachiman X Yukino) can happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans are facing the fact that there are only 3 EPs to play and then The End, so it looks like the Prom is going to settle the Hachiman Choice! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u00a9 2020 Folcwine P.
