unity, strength, fights
i think i partially understand why we can see them as close friends now. They've went through their fair share of fights, and thats why they understand each other more? Thats what I think. Fights only serve to strengthen a relationship, and aren't necessarily bad.
Their not golden, their not perfect. We can see how their personalities clash and how they still don't understand each other perfectly then. But they try, they make an effort, they cooperate with each other and they try to give and take between each other because they want to stay together, and thats what makes their friendship even stronger.
I'm like... years late for this, since I just watched the rowing boat episode of MMA (which isn't even airing anymore fml. I miss Arashi Totsugeki! ;_;), but I couldn't help myself. Watching them grow closer through the fights and disagreements just... makes me love them so much more<3 And Ohno is awesome in this, srsly. Riida ftw!
