Even If The Words Are Never Said, Johnny And Gyro Love Each Other. Whether It's Platonic Or Romantic

Even if the words are never said, Johnny and Gyro love each other. Whether it's platonic or romantic is up to interpretation but you cannot deny they love each other. We witness that love story and how it affects both of them and how they develop during the Steel Ball Run, with Johnny taking that love with him after the end of the story.

And my favorite ways this is shown is not just in the big scenes like when they save each other and sacrifice for each other, but in the small moments and the moments after these big scenes. When we get to see them interacting outside the main action, when we sit with them and take a breath too, the subtle body language of closeness they develop as time passes. These are the scenes that really highlight the love these two have for each other and place narrative importance on it.
