I do not ship them. But I do understand where this is coming from, and maybe more people saw it this way, no judgement. It is even known that Watanabe, the Bird, would beat the prisoners for hours and then he would be nice to them and even hug them (information confirmed by others japanese camp accountants), and he would even cry. He was a sexual sadist. He himself admitted to getting sexual satisfaction by beating and torturing the prisoners, especially Louis in this case. It was obvious to catch this fact from the movie as it was portrayed very well his sick mind and feelings towards Louis. I felt the tension and the weird ‘special’ relationship they had, or mostly The Bird had with the prisoner. He saw the braveness and courage in him from the first time they saw each other, he saw himself in him. He was comforted by his presence and obedience, he expressed his frustration (*for being rejected as an officer) and jealousy through a passive aggressive behaviour towards prisoner Louis. That’s why he didn’t even want to meet him in 1998 when Louis was in Japan for The Olympics, not only I think he felt ashamed for expressing his feelings the way he did to Louis, but the pride and guilt couldn’t let Louis see him ever again.

Are y'all serious . Y'all do realize that this ship is basically the epiphany of Stockholm syndrome.
