No, Grey is not in love with Gauche in Black Clover
As a passionate gamer and Black Clover fan, I‘ve analyzed the relationship between Grey and Gauche extensively through the lens of shipping. And I believe Grey has an unrequited crush on Gauche, while he remains devoted solely to his sister Marie.
Grey‘s Pivotal Backstory Encourages Her Crush
Grey has a tragic backstory – she was expelled from her home at a young age and forced to live on the streets. One day robbers attacked her, planning to sell her into slavery. Gauche happened to be passing by and rescued Grey from the robbers. This courageous act was a pivotal moment for Grey. It gave her the strength to keep living even when things seemed hopeless.
Ever since then, Grey has seen Gauche as her savior. She blushes and gets flustered whenever he‘s close to her. Her heartbeat quickens being around him. It‘s quite apparent Grey has developed intense feelings for Gauche that go beyond just gratitude.
Gauche Remains Devoted to his Sister Marie
However, despite saving Grey, Gauche has some troublesome flaws. He is obsessed with his younger sister Marie to a creepy degree. Some call it a sister complex. His devotion borders on inappropriate as he dotes on Marie constantly.
Additionally, Gauche generally behaves quite rudely to others besides Marie. He is usually ill-mannered, selfish, and dismissive of people. The rare moments of kindness he showed rescuing Grey seem out of character.
All evidence suggests Gauche harbors no romantic feelings towards anyone except Marie. While he saved Grey, he likely views it as just another chore rather than a selfless act.
Why This Unrequited Crush is Problematic
As an expert gamer and avid shipper, I believe Grey deserves someone far better than Gauche. His unhealthy sister obsession makes him unfit as a romantic partner for Grey or anyone else.
Additionally, Gauche takes Grey‘s feelings for granted instead of properly rejecting or returning them. He even manipulates her feelings sometimes to get her assistance with Marie. Their uneven dynamic does not make for a compelling long-term ship.
Better Relationship Options for Grey
Instead of pining after Gauche endlessly, I hope Grey moves on and finds someone who genuinely cares for her. For instance, Charmy shows kindness towards Grey that could develop into something more. Or perhaps Grey could explore her close friendship with Vanessa as well.
Even staying single long-term is better than idolizing someone as toxic as Gauche. Grey needs confidence to stand independently without relying so much on male validation after her past trauma.
My Conclusion on This Black Clover Ship
Based on all current evidence in the anime and manga, Grey does have one-sided romantic feelings for Gauche while he obsesses solely over his sister Marie. As an expert on shipping dynamics, I cannot endorse this unhealthy unrequited crush.
I will always remain a passionate Black Clover fan, and want the best for lovely characters like Grey. She deserves reciprocal love from someone attentive like Noelle receives from Asta. Hopefully my insights provide a thoughtful perspective on this controversial ship for fellow fans and gamers.
