Darwin Watterson/Relationships

These are the relationships Darwin has with the other characters in the series.

Gumball
Darwin is Gumball's best friend/brother/pet. They're almost always seen together, whether it's at school or home or off on some crazy misadventure constructed by Gumball. Throughout the show, they have worked together to overcome many a sticky situation even though Gumball was the one that usually pulled them into said situation, and showcasing their strong bond and friendship. Whether it's fighting a T-Rex, babysitting their precious sister, or even shaving their dad's horrifyingly hairy back, these two have definitely got each other's backs.

Anais
Darwin may not like Anais as much as he likes Gumball, but he definitely understands her. When Gumball's in trouble, Anais is the first one he runs to. Darwin also convinced Gumball to help Anais when her doll was stolen in "The Quest". Darwin also obviously trusts her, as he could tell her that he put Gumball's embarrassing video online.

Nicole
Though the two don't interact often, they have shown care and affection for each other at certain points. In "The Genius", Nicole was furious, and later on depressed, when the school took Darwin away from them, and in "The DVD", Darwin scolded Gumball for leaving their mother behind to deal with a vicious dog.

Richard
Darwin sees Richard as more of a friend than an actual father figure. Instead of Richard teaching Darwin how to be a man, he goofs around with him. This is strongly evidenced in "The Goons" and in "The Prank", where Richard joins in on Gumball and Darwin's childish antics. Darwin is also Richard's favorite child, as revealed in "The Goons".

Carrie
Carrie is a good friend to Darwin. Carrie is also the love interest of Darwin. In "Halloween", when Darwin becomes a ghost, he kisses Carrie. After he passionately kisses her on the mouth he claims he wanted to kiss her for a long time, making her blush. However in "The Words", he calls Carrie "one more emo freak" which means that his feelings for her are most likely mixed.

Rachel
Rachel is Darwin's possible love interest and they may have a relationship going on, as shown in "The Party" Darwin cleaned her house after it had been ruined. After this, she kisses Darwin, as a thank you. It is unknown if their relationship is still going on as Rachel has yet to appear in Season 2 or in Season 3, while in "Halloween" it is shown that Darwin also has a crush on Carrie.

Banana Joe
Darwin has a sort of mixed relationship with Banana Joe - at times, they seem like good friends; in others, they seem to despise each other.

In "The Gi", he maliciously made fun of Darwin's karate outfit, without any remorse whatsoever.

In "The Pressure", he seemed to consider Darwin to be a close enough friend to form a pact with. He later attempts to rescue his friend from the grips of the enemy, at great personal risk.

In "The Banana", Gumball accuses Banana Joe of chewing Darwin's pen, but Darwin didn't seem to mind. Later, though, when he sees Joe trashed his desk and homework, he goes through a rampage through Joe's stuff in hatred and revenge. Later still, when Joe offers him a new pen, Darwin feels remorse for what he has done. When Joe reaches his locker, he attacks Gumball and Darwin, but accidentally knocks himself out. Finally, Gumball and Darwin beat themselves up in an effort to make up with Joe, which succeeds, and they become good friends again at the end of the episode.

In "The Promise", it is revealed that Darwin cares a lot about his relationship with Banana Joe - when Joe gets mad at him, he does everything in his power to restore their friendship, to the point of breaking his promise with Gumball to play the game he was so excited for. Unfortunately, he decides in the end to play said game instead of repairing his relationship, resulting in Banana Joe sustaining grievous bodily harm and furthering his hatred of Gumball and Darwin.

Tobias
Tobias and Darwin's relationship has never been too prominent. In "The Third" Tobias became Darwin and Gumball's friend (for the price of twenty dollars). The two quickly become close friends due to Tobias being athletic and rich, leaving Gumball jealous and lonely. By the end of the day Darwin and Gumball had reunited and since then Darwin has pretty much forgotten about Tobias.

Masami
Darwin has no feelings for Masami as seen in "The Pressure". Although Masami lies that Darwin and her are dating just to impress the other girls, this forces Darwin to go with her to the treehouse. When they were about to kiss, Banana Joe cuts down the tree and Darwin slides away and ends up kissing Gumball, who was about to kiss Penny.

Penny
Darwin and Penny seems to be good friends. Darwin has no feelings for Penny, though in The Episode "The Dream", Gumball dreamt that Darwin kissed Penny.
