Japanese Saiki is just annoyed by everyone's existence. Then there is English Saiki who is just done with everyone's shit

Saiki, the main character of a romance anime, knows he's in a romance anime and is actively avoiding being in a romance anime so much that It's actually a slice of life.

The existence of "casually" being Aro/Ace implies there's a way to professionally be Aro/Ace.

He's the embodiement of "I haven't lost my virginity because I never lose."

saiki’s worst nightmare is probably being a harem protagonist

His entire vibe is literally just "leave me the fuck alone please" and I respect that

*Saiki would be the ultimate Wattpad POV narrator, because he DENIES every fan fiction situation*

Funny story, I was watching this show with my cousin at my grandma's house once and she walked in at the part where Teruhashi was coming up with increasingly elaborate reasons why Saiki was ignoring her and my grandma just yelled "LADY, HE'S GAY" and left. Still makes me giggle.

His true love is coffee jelly.

"The one thing this arrogant girl won't consider is that I'm ignoring her."

“I’ll be checkmated by social convention!” As an aro/ace person, this line is the biggest mood.

Saiki: I won’t use my powers in public to avoid drawing attention Also Saiki: uses powers in public just to avoid people

My favorite line from any anime - Yumehara: I just can't take my eyes off of him Saiki: Get them checked

My friend cleared the rain in order to avoid her-

Saiki's a literal king. At first glance, he seems rude and conceited, but he's incredibly kind and polite. Even though most (okay, more like *all*) other characters annoy him, he actually takes time and makes world-chaning decisions to make sure they're okay. A random thing: I've never heard the dub before, and some of the voices are perfect lol

As an aro/ace person myself I'm generally skeptical when it comes to representation since most characters who could be considered aro/ace tend to be written poorly, be some kind of stereotype, have their "humanity" and "happiness" questioned etc. I haven't watched the anime but from what I've seen i really like the way this was handled! It didn't makes the aro/ace character feel crazy, but rather showed how crazy allo people often come across with how romance is everywhere!

"God loves her way to much" Got me rolling

Saiki might be aro-ace, but you gotta give the guy credit that even though these girls are throwing themselves onto him, he's considerate enough to not just leave them in terrible positions; ex. not letting the girl just fall on her face with her papers while avoiding her. Edit: Upon further watching, dude's very VERY nice. He's willing to change the entire world just so one person can have a part time job. One of the girls that liked him were just going to throw his gifted chocolates away when she was down in the dumps, but he secretly nabbed them. He could easily just left the world go to shambles, but he doesn't. Saiki is a king, a king we should stan.

I like how he doesn’t even hurt anyone, whether mentally or physically. He still made the papers fly back into Yumehara’s arms, which is the definition of “Professionals have standards!”

3:00 “getting rejected by a middle aged man awesome”

"I've gotta do something." "Shall we order more cake?" "I've gotta do something right after that." I'm going to die laughing

Ok but can we appreciate the teacher at 2:57. Like I get the og joke but he really handled that way more responsibility than most actual male teachers would

I like Saiki so much because he’s so sassy and petty. Like he dislikes the attention of Tarahasui, and he knows that if he just acknowledges her existence then she’ll probably go away. But he won’t do it out of sheer pride and pettiness. He’s a king for that.

1:03 This scene actually helped me realize I was aroace myself when I watched this for the first time.

"in highschool love is always in the air which is something i consider entirely pointless." as an aroace myself, i relate to saiki on a spiritual level

1:08 *_"These romantic feelings elude me"_* AND PEOPLE SAY HIM BEING AROACE IS NOT CANON-

It’s rare to have a Aro/Ace protagonist, he is a blessing to the anime community!!!

4:20 THIS SENT ME 💀💀 the way saiki's voice actor delivered this so incredibly deadpanned-ly

Come on let’s all be real with ourselves-these situations would still be annoying even if he didn’t have psychic powers to spot them out beforehand

I like how non aro/ace people get mad over him being "bad aro/ace rep" but then aro/ace ppl vibe with him lmfao (I'm aro/ace btw)

Saiki’s weakness to baked goods is probably one of the most ace/aro things you could think up

at 2:02 Saiki really went '/weather clear'

OK but if saki has x-ray vision when he tries to sleep he can still see

I remember watching this anime for the first time and all I thought was "damn that guy is relatable" and at first I thought it was just because he was as introverted as me, but later on I realized that it's literally his entire personality btw the anime is called „the disastrous life of saiki k.“, also called „tdlosk“ or „saiki k“ for short

"God loves her too much" "Why does god hate me" I freaking love this guy

2:35 the panic in saiki's voice

7:22 We stan an aro man that would rather just be a dad and take a kid to a stage show

“He’s got such kind eyes and fair skin I just can’t take my eyes off of it” *”get them checked”* 😭😭😭😭

"I'm just gonna say I'm not feeling well and go home" "Right after I have some cake" He truly is aroace

3:22 "Its the losers semi final round, so it will be over soon." "Who cares??" *yeets books to infinity* "AAAAAAA"

Definitely the best aro/ace representation I've ever seen

I think it’s very iconic how dedicated this man is to avoiding all romance no matter what. And he doesn’t change like other characters like “Omg I was in love this whole time” or whatever. I think it’s awesome how he stays true to not being interested at all throughout the entire show.

6:18 "You gonna take a pic" the way her voice changed and the facial expression she made surprisingly got me. Shes usually annoying

5:16 PLEASE I CANT HE REALLY JUST 😄-😐

“Meet my dilemma” “Yeah I wonder how” “Please forget about me and find someone else” “I can’t take my eyes off him” “Get them checked” “And I just created another problem for myself” me with any and all crushes:

I like the fact that Teruhashi is so used to everything going her way that the person she has a crush on walking in on her saying she has a crush on him and then apparently sleep walking is not something unusual and just happens naturally

I just love the fact he literally changed the WEATHER to avoid romantic advances 🤣

“HEDIDN’TEVENSTOP,HEDIDN’TEVENBOW!!! AM I INVISABLE?? AM IDEAD??!!” I can’t, teruhashi can be so funny while not even trying to💀

Why does the voice actor sound like a text to speech tho

the english voice acting in the anime is *perfection*

5:37 saiki being bribed by cake is my favorite thing

the whole saki-falls-asleep-instantly-even-though-he-ran-to-the-bathroom thing has got to be my favourite part 7:41

His quiet. Oh no. Was the best thing I've ever seen

*My favorite lines* "I cant just turn down a taruhashi invite, that's against the laws of nature" "I'm warming the girl's faces using pyrokinesis" "I'm feeling pretty scarred myself right now." "God loves her WAY too much."

0:59 Teruhashi technically did get him to say oh wow early on, so congrats girl

I like how he just kinda politely bowed at the beginning. And is just coming up with PLANS to not get with a girl. He doesn’t leave them in situations that leave them vulnerable he specifically makes it so that there isn’t a problem for anyone. I love that. And he’s literally so funny too

"Also when you referred to her as your darling wife, *I cringed"* 3:09

To the people in the comments arguing against him being aroace, I get it. It's not confirmed and only implied through comedy. But it's not right to invalidate a sexuality like that. Many of you do realize that alot of his interactions are relatable on a higher level than anyone non-ace can understand? And also, many characters in media have fans who assume their sexuality. Its all in good fun, and not to mention circulates representation to people who don't know what sexuality is or how it works. Also, the asexual community gets little to no representation! I can only count on one hand how many asexual characters I know, and only one of them is confirmed asexual. That's sad, seriously. Also, I'm not saying you're being phobic or a terrible person, that's not my message. I'm saying that you're not looking at this from the bigger picture, or atleast in the shoes of an asexual/aroace. Side note, I'm sorry I wrote an essay in the comments, it's just something that needed to be said. But I will say if you're arguing against my comment for some reason even though I'm not suggesting what I'm saying is 100% facts, you may or may not actually be phobic. You might want to check your values because I'm not entirely arguing against you, because from that point you just have a problem with aces existing.

3:15 always destroys me the way he kicks everything and him shouting i cant

His inner thoughts are snarky as fuck, he's aroace, he bullshits reality so much you'd think this was a ddlc anime, i love this guy, and i need more

If u think about it saiki is basically god

2:07 not even Saiki can ignore how fast someone moves on

'Il be checkmated by social convention' Is and will forever be the best line

Saiki’s worst fears. 5.yumehara(if that’s her name) 4.a world without coffee jelly. 3.people saying he likes people. 2.girls flirting with him 1.teruhashi(idk if that’s spelled right)

1:01 THE FACT THAT THIS IS WHAT MAKES HIM SAY OH WOW 💀

Him dodging all of her attempts to touch him will forever make me laugh.

6:01 what the fanfiction description did i just witness?

If Senku and Saiki ever met they'd probably team up to ignore every romantic approaches made towards them 💀✨

as a ace/aro this anime was a million times better because of its sheer relatability for this reason alone

He is a absolute icon ✨

7:11 "That's against the laws of nature" 💀

Saiki is the most manipulative, person who wants to be normal ever.

My guy even fits the stereotype of loving cake over people (as a fellow AroAce, I absolutely agree)

all you need to do to win saiki's...friendship- *is to buy him sugar.* 💀

as someone whos aromantic. this is how i almost act on a daily basis 💀

Ik this vid is about Saiki but Kaidou 😭 3:45 he’s so funny without realizing it

The fact that saiki is a god is preventing him from realizing that he is a god and can grant anyones wishes but his own. He can always just tell their mind to leave him alone using telepathy.

You know it’s hopeless when the person you like is willing to hang out a window to avoid you💀

00:38 "What is he doing?" "He's beginning to believe..."

Saiki: *casually changes the weather to avoid becoming a cliché*

"meet my dilemma" "casually clears the rain to avoid a girl" "I can't take my eyes off of him" "get them checked "and I just created another problem for myself" "we're gonna have fun together" "god loves her way too much" "this is weird and I don't like it anymore" "I didn't like it from the beginning" "endures nuisance number four for sweets" "that's for lost kids" I swear Saiki is the fattest mood I have ever seen, this entire video had me dying

"Getting rejected by a middle aged man... awesome :')" -Saiki

"I'm just gonna tell her that I'm not feeling well and going home-" "Do you like dessert, Saiki? There's a café that has delicious cake." "- Right after I have some cake" THAT'S SO ACE I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS

the chill aroace guy and arrogant hot girl is one of my favorite dynamics, its always so goddamn funny

"I can't take my eyes off him!" "Get them checked" He just described my self esteeme

(6:58 ) My guy- can’t you fly? Or teleport away?

“I’ll be checkmated by social convention.” I’m fucking dying I have to watch this show.

0:39 is the best representation of “leave me alone”

His whole personality is a mood

5:27 Saiki has such a sweet tooth! I love it!

7:07 face os the best

The big tell is when he says, "these romantic feelings elude me."

Imagine if he's actually aro/ace, and not that he can read minds and see peoples muscles

"Its frightening how she gets all that she wants"

As an Aro/Ace I can confirm this is pretty much how we act do not want to be around people who think we are attracted to them

I felt that: I have no attraction to anyone and can never developed a crush my entire life, and I avoid all of that. Let alone just wanting to be alone- he's so relatable-

“I gotta do something” “should we order some more cake?” “Nods” “I gotta something right after this”

WAIT SHE ACTUALLY MADE HIM SAY OH WOW BUT IN THE OPPOSITE WAY SHE WANTED

“I’ll be checkmated by social convention” dude I have never related to a line more in the history of mankind.

“Get them checked,” I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT Omg Saiki doing the most to not be in these situations is awesome
