and a major part of the plot is saiki trying to avoid the affection of teruhashi komoki and imu rifuta (imu explicitly states she's into teruhasi, the gays are winning) and saying that he "doesn't understand romance" (& some other emotions) +
and he shows extreme dislike for being touched or any affection at all. as compared to many other male characters in the show who are very motivated by girls/dating and some are huge pervs (like reita torisuka) +
this leads me to believe that he is asexual and aromantic !! the idea that aromantics or asexuals need to be "fixed" is so disgusting if you're asexual and/or aromantic ur so valid and ily. saiki doesn't need to date in order to be a good mc +
he is also canonically trans and can turn into a girl (which he does a few times) but he identifies more as a boy. near the end of the anime there are slight hints that he likes teruhashi (who has a massive crush on him) but im not sure what's happening there honestly +
