I agree with the sentiment, I\\\'m not sure which trope is best for it. However, Sakuranosuke is the sword\\\'s nickname for him. It\\\'s a voluntary reinterpretation of his middle name and effectively means \\\"Cherry Boy\\\". His nickname for her is \\\"Ohana\\\", which is probably a play on the fact that she\\\'s the \\\"Flower God\\\" part of his sword.

In terms of the trope, he\\\'s almost acting as her puppet. She\\\'s dictating the rules, the games and the story, and he has to play along according to the narrative she dictates. The games were dark enough (children\\\'s games weaponised into a death match) but this bankai is downright morbid. Even the comedy scene in this chapter is based on gallows humour.

His bankai is quite literally the despair that drives lovers to suicide. Romeo and Juliet is tropable, and Japanese love-suicides are a big thing in storytelling, so there must be a trope that covers it:
* DrivenToSuicide?
* DeathByDespair (which seems to be the point of the drowning scene)?
