Just to clarify, I'm not saying that Takemichi is a pedophile, he isn't, i'm just talking about it according to the URLs.

Some people says that Takemitchy is a pedophile becuase he likes Hinata, so lets see:

According to this (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedophilia), the pedophilia is: "specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child"

It says "prepubescent child", and also it says "a psychiatric disorder".

But, according to this (https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/explaining-pedophilia), the pedophilia is: "A pedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger, Blanchard says"

"Generally aged 13 or younger", "Generally", so according to this it's not a condition to be aged 13 or younger. Also it says "sexual orientation".

Hinata is 14 at beginning of the anime.

According to this (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sexual-health/stages-of-puberty-what-happens-to-boys-and-girls/#:~:text=The%20average%20age%20for%20girls,take%20up%20to%204%20years.): "The average age for girls to begin puberty is 11, while for boys the average age is 12", so Hinata IS a puberty girl.

So, according to the first URL ("with a prepubescent child"), If an adult has sexual atraction for Hinata, he's not a pedophile.

But, according to the second URL ("GENERALLY aged 13 or younger", but not always), Takemitchy IS a pedophile, becuase Hinata is 14 and he is 26.

But, there are also more things to keep in mind like, Takemitchy's mental age, Japanese Culture, etc.

So, what do you think? Is Takemichi a pedophile or not? ÑñÑ

Sorry for bad english.

How is he a pedo?, she's literally the same age as him. It would be a diff story if she's a minor in the future time and takemitchy is an adult

lol it should be obvious that most people who make pedophile claims don't actually know what pedophilia means. Happened with KoiKimo, happened with HigeHiro and is the same story here as well.


also not once has there been any sort of indication that Takemichi has malicious intentions with his relationship with Hina

Why is this even a discussion, what is wrong with someone liking their gf of the past? It's not like he was having weird lewd fantasies about her in childhood form like a normal pedophile.
This is just irrelevant and makes me feel like anime community needs to raise their iq sometimes, not all ofc but you know who I am talking about, all those people with 20-40 days of anime watched and trying to make threads just to get some attention
These type of people need to stop and mature before flooding forums with this type of passive aggression, even if you don't mean it there is that one guy who will agree to this dumb post and start posting hate comments saying this show has a pedo

"Hinata is 14 and he is 26."
When hinata was 14, takamichi was not 26 and when takamichi was 26, hinata was not 14. Its super simple.

Plus it not like he is engaging in sexual act with 14year old hinata either. I highly doubt those url creator are have included time travel clause.

U should watch idetan deites, thats actual peophilia. Unlike the forced scenario here

I don't think he is a pedo cuz he didn't do anything bad. But I think it's also weird that he is 26 but biologycally only 14 years old, so it's a hard question but I would say no.

Regardless of whether he did anything to hinata of the past or not, you got to remember when takemichi time leaps into the past, he isn’t the 26yr old takemichi (physically) however his conscience is 26 and his body is 14 because only his conscience went to the past not his physical 26yr old *Adult* body. When takemichi and hinata kissed, it was the takemichi of the past with the conscience of future takemichi so it’s all good since it’s not a adult kissing a 14yr old girl, so how takemichi is a pedophile to anyone is beyond me, plus in the past they’re together so that’s also why it’s not pedophillia. Overall if this hasn’t convinced that 1% that time leap is an ability that allows the conscience of someone in the future to go back and leap into the body of their past self or vice versa then idk man, reality and anime can be confusing but it’s no reason to be stupid and make assumptions that have no evidence to it.

There's pedophile and minor attracted person...
It's a grey area tbh
I mean, this was his girlfriend don't forget, so of course he'll be attracted to her
It's weird when he tried to do stuff with her with his 26 (?) Year old mind though
But like I said, it's not like it's a 26 year suddenly liking a child, he dated her when they were the same age, post everything-
Just the other stuff tbh
All opinions are valid, unless they hurt people. Or suck.

As Per What My Knowledge Says ... Pedophile=Lolicon ...And Takemichi Is Not A Pedo ..He Loves Her That's Why He Endures Soo Much Pain To Save Her ...Even Though He Might Be Of Older Aged In Mind But He Is The Same Age As Hina ...It Is Just That The Story Goes From Saving My Girlfriend To Saving Bros ...And
Back To The Point ...He Went In Past To Save Hina To Date Her In The Future Where He Came From ...Soo No He Is Not An Pedo As In My Opinion. *P.s - English Is Not My Main Language, Don't Judge Me*

Those who say Takemichi is a pedo don't even know what's the meaning of it and hence don't know what they're talking about.

Wasn't expecting something like this to be popped out about Takemitchy, most of the complaints regarding him were that he's a crybaby and that there was no character development of him throughout the season, which may or may not be true, but this is simply hilarious, hating him for such a made up reason is not even worth talking about.

the show itself is nothing more than a 5 or 6 out of 10 and the MC might be generic and boring but he is not a pedo

This is my answer as well. /\/\

If one of you really understood the story, you wouldn't even think of something like some character being a pedo. It is frightening to see people assuming something without understanding it first. *Sigh*
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Idk if pedophile is the word I would use but I find it weird for him to like a little girl knowing that mentally he's a 26yo, I get she is his childhood gf so maybe he just cares about her and doesn't have bad intentions but idk is odd

I’m going to be honest I thought about this and I just ended up confused. Ok so technically he is a 26 year old who’s in a difficult situation in many more ways than one as he is in his 14 year old selfs body however he is still 26 and is basically dating a 14 year old whilst posing as a 14 year old himself. However I think the age of consent or something like that in Japan is 13 and Hina is 14 but tbh a 14 and 26 year old dating is gross imo. However in the Timeskip there both 26 which makes him no longer dating a 14 year old suddenly. It’s just a bit of a weird one because his dealing with time travel. However if you think about it’s the same as like a 15 year old girl dating a 1000 year old immortal demon who looks 15 which appears often in shows tbh and everyone is fine with it (that’s just a random thing I came up with) so I am just confused. I don’t think pedo is the word to describe Takemitchi but it is strange however I’m just confused tbh, I usually push the thought to the back of my mind so that I don’t spend hours trying to figure it out

Jesus. People are stupid. Thinking he's a pedo when he is LITERALLY the same age as Hina in both times. God...I hate people sometimes. Really.

Yes, he is a pedophile. I don't think that such thing was the intention of the author, but he is by definition

I don't know if he's a pedophile, but he is questionable. Middle schoolers are practically toddlers in the eyes of grown adults, and I don't think of my middle school crushes the same way I used to. Takemichi doesn't even view Hina in a nostalgic way, so questions do arise.

Honestly, he might be a pedophile, now that I think about it. I definitely don't think the author intended for that to be a fact, but still. Definitely one of the questions of all time, that's for sure.

This is why anime should be gatekeeped. The mere fact, that someone even made this argument is proof enough.

To explain why they would say something like this:
