>>39537979>The directors basically confirmed it was canonically going to happen after that endingHe didn't confirm it, he implied it. He was pretty much insisting you to assume them as a couple and that's where my problem lies. If their intention is for them to be a couple why not just do that? Why leave it up to the viewer's interpretation? This is the cause for Shipping wars and the reason why serena is such a controversial character. Did you know that many people still won't admit that it's canon because ash doesn't have concrete feelings for her? And they are not wrong to believe so because Yajima didn't give us any solid ground to stand on, it's all just implications and interpretations.
