Irreconcilable Differences

So, the other night I found out that my partner of oh-so-many years doesn't like Kaidoh Kaoru. He claims he told me this five years ago. I think I would have remembered it though.

Is it possible that he identifies too much with Kaidoh to be comfortable? Or perhaps he has a deep seated attraction to Kaidoh that terrifies him deep down inside?

I'm personally surprised he had the balls to tell you.

I think Kaidoh just scares him, poor lamb. He's very mild-mannered.

I know! I think it just slipped out. We were watching the Chinese drama and he was all, "Wow, I actually like Hai Tang!"

Is it an active dislike for the character or does he just not care? In case of the former, might jealousy be involved?

I think he knows it's only Drew Barrymore he has to be jealous of. :D

And this is why I won't show my husband PoT. I'm afraid of the answers!

I didn't initiate it -- he was ordering the manga for me at the bookstore he works for and started to read it on his own. Actually, a fair number of my local friends have read or watched PoT. I have no life that is not fandom, apparently.

Whoops! I took the risky "also does not like" option, and ended up singling myself out. Kaidoh's not for everyone! You guys should have awesome discussions about the reasons why back and forth :)

I don't know anyone who doesn't like Kaidô. It is just not possible.
Not liking Tezuka ? OK. Not liking Atobe ? OK.
But not liking Kaidô ? Not possible.
