I theorize that ppl recognize Sora as Kairi’s romantic protector bc he’s the protag, but overlook Riku fulfilling the same role for Sora, despite his arguably more romantic arc. If K’s yearning for S reads as romantic, why doesn’t S yearning for R? What if R was the protag?
I find it very interesting how people are willing to concede Riku has romantic feelings for Sora but not the other way around. I think Sora does and it shows in his behavior and actions. He just doesn't realize it yet.

“Canon” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in these assertions about love interests. I wanna know what the criteria is for establishing one. Are romantic implications, narrative framing, and other charas’ assumptions enough? And if so, are we applying those standards consistently?
I think what’s interesting is what actually qualifies someone as a “canon love interest.” If we’re determining that through romantic coding, tropes, and narrative development, then Riku absolutely qualifies for consideration. +

Then we have Riku, the deuteragonist, whose entire character arc revolves around understanding his feelings for Sora, finding strength through his desire to protect him, and whose relationship with Sora repeatedly draws on romantic tropes and parallels. +

If we’re assigning characters the role of “love interest” based on romantic framing and narrative function, on what grounds would Riku not qualify? I’m genuinely asking what the criteria is here. LOL.

Replying to @sorikuaegyo
dudebros can’t fathom the idea of shipping soriku because riku isn’t the canon love interest (and also they’re both boys YUCK!)

His relationship with Sora is developed through many of those same conventions across the series. So what makes Kairi’s romantic implications canonical while Riku’s are treated as merely interpretive?
