Tokito is very odd in sweet ways - he apparently uses the most macho language to refer to himself in Japanese, and that sort of goes with what he does to Kubota in that scene, making him declare that yes, he needs Tokito. And I love the part where Tokito is talking enthusiastically about reading Shouta's manga some day, and Kubo isn't quite so sure he'll want to read it.

I think Shouta has learned a lot - much too much for a child his age, in fact - from listening to his parents fight, poor kid. I know how he feels.

Yeah, Kubo seems to have Gojyo's story and Hakkai's personality!

I think maybe Kubo didn't know that he had the touch thing himself until recently ... maybe when the unconscious Tokito grabbed him and snuggled up ... .
