Well, yes, but also, at the same time, kinda. I've never seen male siblings be as intimate as those two could be. The whole yandere episode with Slash and Destroy spoke volumes about Slash's personal attachments. And that episode as well as Newtralized!, The Invasion, Part 2 and Clash of the Mutanimals had scenes that spoke deeply of both characters' deep and unusually sensual attachments to each other. (It helps to follow their body language, which can be very rich and telling at times.) But they certainly are "brothers" in the brothers-in-arms sense, a concept Slash also takes very seriously with the Newtralizer and with the Mutanimals. Of course, being a "brother" also requires a certain integrity and trustworthiness, which the Newtralizer proved he didn't have.
