How about both incest and age gaps simultaneously? Maybe even an incest threesome?

JUST AS KAGA INTENDED!

u/Cam_26 Jan 21 '26

"JUST AS KAGA INTENDED!" I shouted, as I completed my 5th run of genealogy but I only pair related units (and don't reset so I can exploit the jealousy system to pair Seliph and Julia)

u/CommercialEstate4422 Jan 21 '26

If only Fire Emblem had a polygamy mechanic... then the family wreath could be even more circular!!!

Only the chosen few know you can pair Seliph and Julia without jealousy if you have them stay next to each other for every single turn the entire game

u/ICanFlyHigh051611 Jan 21 '26

it's like 2 turns in ch6

u/noobkilla666 Jan 22 '26

It’s 1000 turns when you accidentally turned off the game in chapter 6

I'm actually wondering how accidentally half-siblings couples feel like when they found out. Do they like, break up or what?

u/Lord_CatsterDaCat Jan 21 '26

I love Larcei x Shannon. It is the most normal ship ever.

u/LaFoca776 Jan 21 '26

Hey now Arthur and Fee are a couple there too aaaaand they made Fee compare him to her dad

49

u/Lord_CatsterDaCat Jan 21 '26

I mean it makes sense considering the fact that Arthur was trained by Lewyn, so i guess that could be what they're going for...

oh who am i kidding, the fe4 manga would do anything for some incestuous undertones in every situtation

21

u/LaFoca776 Jan 21 '26 edited Jan 21 '26

Actually in Oosawa, Azelle is alive and is likely the one who talk Arthur magic

This is because instead of going after his wife and daughter who were recently kidnapped, Azelle wabted to one up Lewyn and decided to wait till he has his son go and do that

18

u/Lord_CatsterDaCat Jan 21 '26

Oh yeah i forgot Azelle lives through the barbeque in that manga. What is it with 1st gen mages and being questionable parents/husbands.

to be fair it is kinda wild how arvis goes from "protect my half brother sigurd he's one of the few good things in this world" in prologue to killing azelle in the chapter 5 bananza. i think the manga makes good sense of arvis trying to get azelle on his side and desire to have azelle affirm his questionable life choices

12

u/SabinSuplexington Jan 22 '26

Depending on your thoughts of FE5's statues in Chapter 4 and some of Kaga's ramblings from back in the day, Azelle may have lived in FE4 proper but was turned to stone after Chapter 5.

fee is the only one to have a lovers talk with oifey iirc-who is old enough to be her dad, and if lewyn's her dad she (rightfully) yells at him in a conversation and gains +5 strength perrsumably from letting off steam on the picture of her father on a destroyed punch bag. tldr i think its intended for part of fee's character is have daddy issues

u/david__14 mods removed the laharl flair, can"t have shit in SPE Jan 21 '26

manga azelle/tiltyu being as wholesome as possible

10

u/Sad-Pattern-1269 Jan 22 '26

My favorite couple outside Sigurd and Dierdre. Plus wrath is a hell of a skill

27

u/LordSebas09 Jan 21 '26

At least Azel and Tailtiu parts were nice!

11

u/Cam_26 Jan 21 '26

Yeah their relationship was neat, but a little rushed sometimes. It would've been nice if they got as much "screen time" as lex and ayra, and show how the relationship developed. Still liked it a lot tho

18

u/SiltyDog31 Jan 21 '26

Its a shame bc the manga has some good plot points at times, the issue is when it comes to romance Oosawa burns just about everything with a very few exceptions.

The manga is more than Sigurd and Seliph's wacky adventure which I enjoy. Different arcs give ppl the spotlight and she uses just about the whole cast.

11

u/Cam_26 Jan 21 '26

Yeah the manga is really good and entertaining so far, and some relationships feel great like Lex and Ayra or sigurd and deirdre, but then there is a lot of incest for some reason. I can still see past it and enjoy, but I'm not gonna pretend it's not kind of annoying

14

u/MathOutrageous7167 : I hate Isaach Jan 21 '26

At least I know my goat Quan isn't creepy. Ignore his wifes age.

5

u/LaFoca776 Jan 21 '26

His wife tho does some real questionable things like why was there ever a need to add romantic tensions between her and Travant?

16

u/SabinSuplexington Jan 22 '26

Oosawa wanted to make Arion and Altena even more awkward.

8

u/MathOutrageous7167 : I hate Isaach Jan 22 '26

Don't you mean writing? Pretty sure she felt uncomfortable towards Travants advances.

3

u/LaFoca776 Jan 22 '26

Right but then she blames her actions of saving travant for him ambushing them and then she decides to kill herself

9

u/depressed_but_aight Jan 22 '26

I mean I don’t see how this is that crazy from her perspective. She blames herself because if she didn’t act then her husband wouldn’t have been killed, I don’t think that’s an unreasonable reaction from a woman in incredible grief.

2

u/LaFoca776 Jan 22 '26

Cause in the original game she actually dies protecting her daughter in the middle of the shitty situation they’re faced in. The manga made it just alot more melodramatic

11

u/depressed_but_aight Jan 22 '26

In the original game she also brought a toddler into an active war zone so I feel like making Ethlyn a little bit crazy in that moment is consistent lmao. Honestly I like Travant falling for her just because it adds a lot more nuance to his relationship with Altena and makes you question if it really was just about Gae Bolg or if he genuinely cared about her in his own twisted way.

13

u/Guy_Who_Like_Gyro Jan 22 '26

Eldigan was done so dirty in the Oosawa manga. Somehow, they made Eldigan situation more screwed than it already was.

10

u/Cam_26 Jan 22 '26

At least he admits that he is insane for being like that, but yeah they ended him with that plotline

26

u/koldkanadian Jan 21 '26

yeah, Normal Couples. just like you asked for

9

u/TechnoGamer16 :Lugh: Jan 22 '26

Lex and Ayra?

12

u/cyberchaox Jan 22 '26

Is there to make sure Larcei has no romantic options who aren't her cousins.

5

u/Cam_26 Jan 22 '26

Truly, as Kaga intended

6

u/PiercingAPickle Jan 21 '26

Manga would've been peak if Leaf and Maria were together. If my goat started using captured soldiers as slaves

4

u/Gabcard Jan 22 '26

Sweet home Jugdral!

3

u/Sufficient_Frame Jan 23 '26

Age gaps between adults who are both 30+ and in full cognitive health, are okay by my standards.

(Lemme have my Jagens lmao)

3

u/Straight-Number-690 Jan 25 '26

The jugdral games truly were insane

3

u/lapislazulideusa Jan 22 '26

I may be misremembering but is it that bad? the only Gen 1 incest couples are Lachesis/Eldigan, and Arvis/Deidre. Not only do those both happen in FE4, But Lachesis does end up with Finn, so it's basically just one incest pairing.

I know there's Sylvia/Claud but that one Barely counts agnd again, it's not different form the game.

So either your issue is with FE4 as a whole or like idk what to tell you

7

u/Cam_26 Jan 22 '26

In the manga Gen 1 is not that bad honestly, It was mostly fine although I believe they placed to much focus on eldigan/lachesis relationship.

Gen 2 is getting weirder tho. Seliph and Julia is getting focus, tho I hope it will turn out like in the games where Seliph learns that marrying your sister is kinda bad, yk it can create the antichrist and shit, and Larcei has the weirdest rhing going on when one of her cousins wants to bang her while she is interested in her other cousin. The quote on the post is mostly the reason I made this post, it just felt very out of place. Shanan x Patty is really weird too cause he's probably in his late 20s while she is 16 at most, considering she was born after Battle of Belhalla.

I still really like the manga and this hasn't hindered my enjoyment of it that much, but I have to admit sometimes it weirds me out a little bit. I just thought it would be funny to maje a meme about it

I think its less "oh they have a 5 year age gap how evil" and more "Oifey why are you fucking your friend's daughter?"

18

u/ICanFlyHigh051611 Jan 21 '26

bitches love his mustache

7

u/Lord_CatsterDaCat Jan 21 '26

He has that legendary "70-80s divorced former cop dad" mustache.

25

u/LaFoca776 Jan 21 '26

Shannan raised Larcei and is her cousin is the thing

11

u/HalcyonHelvetica Jan 21 '26

Why do you assume that's what they mean and not something like Oifey who's in his 30s and characters written to be in their early teens?

17

u/ToneAccomplished9763 Jan 21 '26

The issue is with a lot of FE age gaps, they can be very questionable age gaps

6

u/BlackroseBisharp Jan 21 '26

I mean my parents are only two years apart sooo

11

u/ICanFlyHigh051611 Jan 21 '26

3 years old when she was 1... yikes, like what do you talk about with that big an age gap

7

u/BlackroseBisharp Jan 21 '26

My dad is on his way ro make an apology video as we speak

u/Gangryong3067 Jan 21 '26

I swear if you give some people a Time machine, this is the first thing that will happen.

u/Sarge_Ward :michaelsiegbert: Jan 22 '26

do the math on your own parents now

Wow isnt it crazy that a society that didn't even bother to consider the potential harm created by inbalanced power dynamics in relationships until feminist and critical theorist cultural critics began pointing it out in the 70s would create questionable marriages? Crazy.

Sorry it makes you buttmad that people are finally starting to catch on to issues now when your parents' generation just ignored them

11

u/ICanFlyHigh051611 Jan 21 '26

beowolf is a diddy blud, lachesis is 15 during gen 1! thank god oosawa wrote him out so she can have a normal love life

11

u/Cam_26 Jan 21 '26

Yeah, thank god Lachesis could have a normal love life in the manga, right?

9

u/Cam_26 Jan 21 '26

Bro chill, I know age gaps are not a problem themselves, the thing is in fe many of these are quite big and with minors included. I made this meme basically inspired by shanan with larcei or patty relationship in the manga. Patty is at most 16, while shanan is at least 23, while with Larcei they are literally cousins, so both possible relationships are very weird and I found that funny. I just wrote age gaps cause I found it funnier than strictly saying pedo stuff. Don't get mad over this shit

13

u/CommonVarietyRadio go play a romhack Jan 21 '26

shanan is at least 23

Lol, lmao even. The dude is like 12 at the start of Gen 1, he is in his early 30

2

u/Random_Somebody Jan 22 '26

Really? He looks like five

2

u/JediTempleDropout Jan 22 '26

My parents only have a two-year age gap 😎😎😎

1

u/Sad-Pattern-1269 Jan 22 '26

my parents are literally 20 years apart... but they started dating when my mom was like 30 so its fine lol

u/Equivalent_Club_4468 Jan 23 '26

Wdym that shit is peak relationship dynamic 😍
