He comes with a free dog!

But also a whole bunch of crazy people that you have to beat at basketball before you can date him.

which one's the free dog

...well, they're both from sports anime at least?

You get a squidkid

you get Johnny. he is okay with adorable guy and adorable dog.

Yeah, I could see all of these ships working out. Kuroko himself is pretty low maintenance.

also you get Kain Highwind

Kise worries about Kuroko thinking he's too high maintenance though

Almost everyone in that canon is high maintenance.

this is true

But Kise is probably the lowest maintenance choice from the Generation of Miracles.

Not that it's a high bar to clear.

despite being the model

no, it really isn't.

Normal Akashi is probably fairly reasonable.

The problem with half of Akashi being an okay guy is that the rest of Akashi is a dangerous lunatic who tries to stab people with scissors.

And Aomine comes with so much heaps of baggage that you'd think he was going on a cruise.

Murasakibara you need to bribe to do anything.

and then there's Midorima

yes.

Kise is actually a really solid boyfriend option once you break it down.

ah. Kaijou has no idea how good they got it with him.

They really don't. They should be so thankful.

That's playing with fire though.

And that he was just using the middle school basketball team as a front to train a team for like, an epic heist or something. Ocean's 11 style.

I was half expecting Akashi to call them all one day and be like, okay it's time. And then they all go rob a casino.

These are the dumb things I think about when I watch anime.

... please do not give me fuel for more KHR!x-overs with sports anime

but yeah... Akashi just might

Actually that would be a pretty epic crossover.

DA and I figured out everyone's flames and everything.

but yea... it would be epic.

Akashi: Rings now. We have a turf war.

Akashi would be a terrifying mafia boss.

In that he would be really good at it.

he would
