    Hakubi! Hakubi! It would be so cool if she won. :3 *cheers*

    No doubt she’s probably going to go up against Kill la Kill’s Ryuko, now THAT is going to be where we want everyone to vote a million times, because Kill la Kill is hot right now.

    Well thanks for the heads up. I’m not really anime savy enough to know who the other characters are

    I voted multiple times again. And again… and again…

    Now that’s something I would think odd. Since sword tenchi could hold Ryoko back in that fight with Ryoko and Tenchi, and it is the thing keeping Ryoko sealed, I do wonder how Ryoko would be able to break free herself

    See now we’re just speculating. None of this was communicated through the anime which is the creators’ fault. I think it’s a bit silly to think she somehow over the course of 700 years gathered energy and was about to break free just a day before Tenchi stumbled into the cave. At any rate, it doesn’t make a difference to the show itself.

    I find it amusing in their “rant” videos after a previous round was decided, both times (Round 1 and 2 (I just skip to the Ryoko part)) their response is just that they’re surprised and talk for about a minute or two about the other anime character but say virtually nothing about Tenchi Muyo or Ryoko, and even said they thought Ryoko would lose Round 2.

    Well if you noticed clearly she knew tenchi had yosho’s bloodline. I mean in ep 2 of the ova she tells Ayeka “You idiot, don’t you realize who he is?!” And before kagato showed up, everyone suspected yosho was dead, so maybe she was just letting out her anger for yosho bounding her in that cave for all those years

    I wonder if Ryoko ever got the memo that Tenchi’s grandpa is Yosho. She was unconscious and abducted by Kagato when that was revealed and you’d think there would be hostility between them (ep3 when she sees his hologram “Yosho, hmph good riddance! Although I kinda like him in that size”, as well as him locking her up for 700 years) but apparently not since she refers to him as “honorable grandfather” when asking to use his phone in ep7.

    I always had a way of viewing it as the way a schoolgirl would act if she liked someone but was a more tough archetype.

    Ryoko has not had a lot of time to mature and get everything (Kagato keeping her imprisoned) so she doesn’t know what things are. For instance her line “Gas? What’s Gas?” She never learned how to act and such with people around and so she doesn’t exactly have a sure way as to express herself.

    In schools, often the girl will bully the guy she likes a little bit. But take the kid and replace it with a powerful being and the bullying ascends to a bigger scale. So in a way I guess you could say that she was bullying him (except using powers) to kindof tease around since she already loves him. She only became truly hostile whenever the sword appeared and that is because of the memories it possesses.

    Though, this is only what my theory is.

    I’m still unsure whether it was teasing or not. She blew up the classroom that he barely escaped, almost cut him several times with the sword if he didn’t dodge or the sword unexpectedly protected him.

    But I think your analogy is good, makes the most sense out of any I’ve read or thought of.

    Speaking of the First OVA it’s funny how Ryoko goes from wanting to killTenchi to wanting to

    seducehim to get the gems.I think in both Universe and the First OVA she really doesn’t realize

    her feelings for Tenchi until Aeka steps into the picture.Having a rival really forces Ryoko to step up and

    admit what she’s feeling toward Tenchi.

    Good point. I think in Universe it’s more apparent she liked Tenchi since she spared him and flirted with him even before Ayeka showed up.

    But in the OVA I’m not sure what would’ve happened had Ryoko gotten her gems back without the sword zapping her. Would she have killed Tenchi as she almost did earlier or abducted him or what?

    That said, at least with the canon series, I can see the romantic angles for Tenchi ending up with all the girls on top of the political reasons for Tenchi to end up with them all.

    Still, Ryoko will always be my personal favorite. ^_^

    This is why I have conflicting feelings about the OVA material. I prefer the background and origin stories from the OVA, but would have rather seen something along the lines of Universe where there isn’t this whole incestual polygamy going on, it’s just too weird for me.

    I don’t know what Japanese fans would think or how Kajishima thought they’d react, but I think especially for westerners, Ryoko having to settle with the rest of the girls for Tenchi is rather insulting and offensive than just him picking one girl.

    The great thing about Tenchi is there is the OVA, Universe, Tokyo, movies and manga to choose from so it’s pretty open ended for the viewer to choose how things turn out.

    I voted!

    It’s a shame that a good amount of people voting have probably never heard of Ryoko. We all know she’s the real winner.
