History HoYay / SeraphOfTheEnd

* When Yuu offers his blood to Mika in the anime, he stands before him pulling his shirt further open from after Mika pulled it open revealing more of his chest (which is even more suggestive if you didn't know the context)!so Mika can bite him and even though he initially offers his slit arm to Mika to drink from Mika still chooses to drink from his neck. The flying glomp as well and music makes it play out to be similar to TheBigDamnKiss.

* Chapter 90 is a veritable feast for [=MikaYuu=]. [[spoiler:With Mika prepared to die, Yuu is looking for something, anything, to save his best friend and most treasured person. His talk with Asuramaru indicates that at his lowest, he'd rather die than be without the one person who unconditionally supported him and only continues to live when she points out his death would go against Mika's own desire to protect Yuu. The chapter emphasizes just how much the pair mean to each other, ending with Mika giving Yuu a DyingDeclarationOfLove while the latter is desperately pleading [[PleaseDontLeaveMe not to leave him alone]]. For extra points, Mika says his goodbyes while crying, an action already stated to be impossible for vampires.]]

** The Dubbletalk hosts talk about the MikaYuu pairing and how they want them to be together or think they have more chemistry together than they do with other characters.

* Kagami, the creator of the series, talks about MikaYuu in the following translation found on no sign no lights tumblr:

* Ferid seems to be a mixture of being a ShipperOnDeck for MikaYuu while simultaneously trying to come between them or even in chapter 46 and an earlier chapter he shows interest in the both of them getting together with ''him'' if only to drink the blood of two people he finds interesting.

* Chapter 87 is just FULL of shipping material. Mika once again [[GoThroughMe shields Yuu with his body just as Guren would have killed Yuu]], getting injured instead. How does Yuu react? By jumping away from Guren as fast as possible and fleeing with [[BridalCarry Mika in his arms]]. Looks like Yuu returned the favor for all the times Mika bridal-carried him. Not only that, but when Mika started drinking Yuu's blood to help him heal his back injury, Yuu cried out, complaining about why blood sucking had to feel so good and saying he hated it.[[note]]However, [[{{Tsundere}} he might not actually hate it]] seeing as he had offered his blood to Mika so many times before even when Mika had other sources of blood.[[/note]] Despite that, Yuu was not mad at Mika even when he had to knock Mika away to prevent being sucked dry, telling Mika he didn't need to apologize and when Mika told him that his blood was delicious, he seemed flattered.

Let's not deny it, there's a reason Seraph Of The End [[FanYay resonates well with the LGBT community]]. For example, [[ChasteHero Yuu]] and Guren practically have a harem of both [[EvenTheGuysWantHim MEN]] and [[ChickMagnet WOMEN]]. The author has made it known in a Q&A that Yuu's "unexpected special skill" is to make others love him — outright implying Yuu's whole squad (male and female) has crushes on him, even using Kimizuki in the manga as an example.

* When Yuu offers his blood to Mika in the anime, he stands before him pulling his shirt further open from after Mika pulled it open revealing more of his chest (which is even more suggestive if you didn't know the context)!so Mika can bite him and even though he initially offers his slit arm to Mika to drink from Mika still chooses to drink from his neck. The flying glomp as well and music makes it play out to be similar to a BigDamnKiss.

* In track 4 of the cd drama, so as to not worry others (Yuu especially) Mika always makes it a point to cover up his problems with a smile and also never complained about having to give his blood to vampires in return for favors to help make life easier for his family and Yuu.

** It's implied given their actions and undying devotion (from the pas to currently) towards each other that they would die for one another.

** Mikaela's obsession with Yuuichiro, full stop. He tears off Ferid's arm (granted, Ferid is a target of revenge for both Yuu and Mika) for trying to drink Yuu's blood, nearly makes off with Yuu in a BridalCarry in a couple chapters, and has convinced himself [[ProperlyParanoid (admittedly for good reason)]] that Yuu's human allies are just using him in order to justify taking Yuu back.

** Mika's voice actor states the following in [[http://myanimelist.net/featured/137 this]] interview.: "Adult Mikaela is pretty arrogant. He looks down on humans, and says a lot of patronizing things. I think he’s likeable because he only lets down his guard and becomes honest in front of Yuu-chan (Yuuichirou). There’s a big gap between his childhood self and his current personality. It’s a little tsundere (laughs)" He also says "Yuu is Mika's everything."

*** Also, Yuu's very merciful towards vampire Shahar and emotional about killing him which is implied to be from Mika's influence. He even comes to tolerate Ferid and Crowley and trust them some. This extends to him wanting to save Ferid and Krul from their sunlight torture and wanting to work with Crowley merely because he learned Crowley used to be human.

** "I guess I'll have to try my best" is sometimes used by Japanese folk to refer to how they have to work hard to make a life for themselves and their significant other or to become a good spouse/lover to their signicant other.

--> Youichi: Yuu-kun, it’s your birthday!

* Goshi comments that misbehaving kids like Mika need to be spanked. Some fans may read it as SpankTheCutie.

* Narumi and Shusaku are mentioned in the omake of one volume to have been friends since high school. Another character comments in the omake as they banter that the two are really close. Also, Narumi was really upset when Shusaku [[spoiler: died]] and its because of Shuusaku's and the others [[spoiler: deaths]] that Narumi decides to protect Yuu as he [[spoiler: won't let their deaths be in vain]]. Also, a scene redraw of the final battle in season 2 [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/2ffc79077d6965c3b3b76e39f98246c1/tumblr_ob88fiidL81sxea1vo1_1280.jpg here]] shows Shusaku jumping in front of Narumi to take an attack aimed towards him. He looses his sanity somewhat when Shusaku and his friends die and seems almost swayed by Ferid's offer to revive Shusaku and the others despite knowing the risks it entails to trust someone like Ferid. Mika notices his desire bring his friend back makes him vulnerable to enemy manipulations and his demon.

** On chapter 52 Mika gets his arms cut off by a vampire and Yuu reacts [[BerserkButton as you'd expext]]. Also Mika says he's afraid Yuu will become a demon and doesn't want him to become the next Guren. He also seems jealous when he says Yuu loves Guren and tells Yuu that even though they're in a dangerous/messed up situation he's happy he's at least still alive since he got to see Yuu one more time which seems romantic. Also, when Narumi talks to Mika Yuu thinks he's being mean and yells at him not to be rude to Mika. Mika seems to come to care more for Yuu's friends due to their kindness and Yuu's attempts to get Mika to become closer with his friends. Mika has come to realize Yuu's warmth towards his family is genuine and worries for Yuu's telling him he doesn't want Yuu to end up losing them, either him or Yuu's other friends. He is implied to be happy now that Yuu has a new family and helps Yuu protect them. He says wanting more than that when they have each other and the others is just reckless and worries for Yuu. At the beginning of the chapter he also worries whether Yuu is feeling unwell.
** This chapter gave a HypocriticalHeartwarming moment of how no one except him is allowed to talk in a stern way to Mika as after

* In chapter 55 Yuu cries in a moment of vulnerability and from the situation and Mika notices and tenderly takes Yuu's hand in his own to comfort him who accepts.

** At chapter 47, the one at Yuu's side protecting him while he was unconscious is Mika.
** At chapter 48, Mika seems to be jealous to see Yoichi sitting near Yuu and he sit between both.

** At chapter 48, Mika's seen to be jealous to see Yoichi sitting near Yuu, and goes to sit between both.

*** It may be worth noting that Yuu's favorite color is blue because it reminds him of the sky (Mika's eyes are initially blue), his favorite pajamas are yellow (same as Mika's hair), and his favorite jacket is red (like Mika's eyes after he becomes a full vampire).

*** At chapter 47, the one at Yuu's side protecting him while he was unconscious is Mika.

* When Mika intimately hugged Yuu to silence him when he was about to refuse going to Ferid's mansion to let him drink his blood Mika replied in Yuu's place "He's too shy. Maybe another time." Given Mika's protectiveness of Yuu and his almost yandere reaction when Ferid tried to drink his blood four years later (via cutting his arm off and issuing a death threat) one could say he's indirectly saying Yuu's off limits in a falsely nice way towards Ferid while hiding the deeper meaning behind it.

** Even though he's not officially classified as yandere, before going through character development he had a couple traits similar to a yandere with SingleTargetSexuality towards Yuu.

** “He [Kagami] says he’s never gotten that question before.“

* Yuu states he initially became friends with Shinoa and the others because he couldn't save Mika alone.

* Yuu and Mika are compared to [[StarCrossedLovers "Romeo and Juliet"]] much like [[OfficialCouple Guren and Mahiru]]. To go further from an above mention where Yuu is implied to be willing to turn into a demon/die for Mika (and the others) sake it parallels Guren in the light novels where he tries to die/becomes a demon to get more power for Mahiru's sake. Mito (who has a crush on Guren) also becomes a demon for Guren's sake.

* In chapter 53 Mika is asked by Narumi if he feels like he had some humanity left despite being turned into a vampire. He wonders about his feelings for Yuu. Mika says he's steadily loosing his humanity and is composed whenever the topic of Akane's head though he was angry at seeing her head and bringing her back to life is brought up. He confirms Narumi's statement that he's feelings less and less emotion towards the family that he lost but notes that he has feelings for Yuu (it's ambiguous as to whether its romantic or platonic though) and says that the only thing that remains unchanged are his feelings.

*

* Shinya's profile in the fanbook seems to imply that he's tired of woman and a cd drama line supports this. And who does he enjoy spending time around and follows devotedly instead of his supposed fiance (though she shows no interest in him)? Guren.

* Yuu agrees to run away with Mika so long as Yoichi and the others ran away with them as well.

* This is helped by the constant AmbiguosulyGay and MistakenForGay implications made in regards to the two. Sayuri and Shinoa even note (in the manga/anime and fanbook respectively) that they think Kimizuki is gay. And in bloody blades even Yoichi comments on the two's relationship and in canon always tries to get them to stop fighting and get along with each other.

**

** Some fans note how when Narumi asks Mika if Yuu was the first person he ever drank from Mika confirms it to be true. Some have read the bloodsucking in the series as all the immoral pleasure it gives to be a parallel to sex. Therefore, some have read the lines as being similar to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Mika saying when he drank blood from Yuu he lost his virginity to Yuu]] and indeed he did lose his innocence since drinking from Yuu and becoming a vampire. He lost the innocence and humanity he once had more and more and his eyes changed color too.

*** Mika is referred to as being Yuu's "dearest friend" in the fanbook.

** When Ferid sees how cute Yuu looks when he cries upon seeing Mika Ferid blushes and says "Uwah! What's with that cute reaction? No wonder you're (Mika) so into him/attached."

** In the anime, when Yuu goes into his SuperpoweredEvilSide Shinoa attempts to calm him down with a CooldownHug leading Mika to scream almost in jealousy "Don't touch Yuu-chan with your filthy hands!"
** When Yuu attempts to attack Shinoa when his SuperpoweredEvilSide takes over Mika shields Shinoa despite hating her because he knows if Shinoa were to die Yuu would be sad. He even says he didn't do it for her but for Yuu.

*** Also, Yuu's very merciful towards vampire Shahar and emotional about killing him which is implied to be from Mika's influence. He even comes to tolerate Ferid and Crowley and trust them some thanks to Mika's influence. This extends to him wanting to save Ferid and Krul from their sunlight torture.
*** Even before that, Yuu willingly offers his blood to the dying Mika to heal the latter's wound (Chapter 36/Episode 10). Yuu states that he doesn't care about the fact that Mika is a vampire and tells Mika to keep living even if that means he has to rely on Yuu's blood to survive. This may not be noteworthy if it were not for the fact that Yuu absolutely despises being treated like a blood bag and having his blood sucked by a vampire (heck, a vampire managed to press his {{Berserk Button}} just by referring to humans as "livestock"). Also when Mika questions about how Yuu can easily tell him to become a vampire to save himself when he's been doing everything to avoid becoming what he hates and because he knows Yuu hates vampires. Then the following occurs:

*** Just to go further in, the anime version has Yuu holding Mika's face, [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/a54b44595a2ce95673cd92ab66985150/tumblr_inline_o1v20aItdo1ra3px9_1280.png touching his chin, and looking at him in a flirtatious and almost cocky manner.]] Before that, they back up into some shelves when Mika glomps Yuu so he can drink from his neck; During this moment, Yuu smiles blissfully and holds the back of Mika's head while Mika himself is holding onto the shelf as well while Yuu spreads open his knees. It's even more suggestive in the artwork done by Wit studio. He also holds Mika's face in his hands and brings him close telling him with a dreamy look in his eye that resembles one would give to a long lost lover: "Why Mika? We're ''finally'' together." Mika also tackles Yuu when pulled by the temptation to drink blood and they get really close to each other's faces with a close up of Yuu's neck when Mika is simultaneously trying to bite it and struggling not to. It's no wonder this entire scene comes off as [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything pretty suggestive to viewers]]. Towards the end of the episode, Yuu hugs Mika from behind and a shadow silhouette shows Yuu holding Mika's hand as they walk away, with the sun setting in the background no less.
*** It's worth noting Yuu is the first person Mika drank from and he seems to prefer Yuu's blood over that of the squads but opts to drink their blood as he doesn't want to drink Yuu dry. Mika is also the first vampire who Yuu has allowed to drink from him. It's also one of the few consensual bite scenes and an actual couple (Mahiru and Guren) have had a bite scene together as well as a parallel.

*** It doesn't help that from the official fanbook and light novels, it states that having your blood drunk feels good for both parties (which could explain Mika and Yuu blushing afterwards in the manga).

** Yuu becoming a demon so he can rescue Guren.

** In an earlier chapter Guren saves Yuu from a female vampire that was attacking their school and in the pilot chapter steps in to save a younger Yuu from a noble vampire.

** Guren seems to want Yuu to become happier and stronger by finding friends/family to care for in his own roundabout way and to give up on revenge on the enemies from his childhood as it's never good to live solely for revenge.

** Guren says a meeting he went to was boring and though he says dealing with Yuu is tiresome he thinks with Yuu around things have gotten more interesting.

* Guren specifically waited for four years before putting Yuu on the battlefield because he wanted to make sure he was strong enough and wouldn't be vulnerable to be being taken over by his demon like he was in his youth.

** There's moments where Shinoa is teasing Mitsuba who reacts predictably but she acts calmer and at ease when Shinoa decides to try being nice to her and getting her to go somewhere with her or wants to take her to a fancy restaurant.

** Shinoa also refers to Mahiru's big chest occasionally.

* Guren seems to be hiding the fact that he doesn't want to resort to having to kill Yoichi when he's possessed by his demon and running rampant. He manages to be the one who snaps Yoichi out of his demon possession and Shinoa comments that despite his denial of not caring that Guren looked worried that they wouldn't be able to save Yoichi. He informs Yoichi that they're family now and to give up on revenge as he has a new reason to live, protecting his family.

* Saito tries to cheer up a young Yuu in volume 7 of the Guren novel by telling him he's not a demon child and he'll find someone who needs him at the Hyakuya orphanage. He also tells him to smile as he looks cuter that way. In chapter 3 of volume 7 light novel he calls him beautiful and a cute kid.

* In the light novels, Junji and Mika. "I want us to stay together, too. But you’re going to be part of a new family now."—Mika to Junji, Chapter 2

* When Crowley is a human he is bitten by a male vampire named Raux which Crowley desribes as being pleasurable and they guy seems disappointed when Crowley gives up on struggling/fight against him as he likes his prey to have some fight in them.
* Ferid/Shinya: Ferid rings for assistance in the butler cafe cd drama and Shinya serves him food and calls him master. Ferid wonders if they've met somewhere before as he feels like he remembers him. He also informs Shinya he'd really like to make him and the others livestock (blood bags for him to drink from) but as he's kind he'll let him and the others go if they hand over Mika and Yuu.
