Aww heck, even though I’m a hardcore Ryoko fanboy, I can’t help but like Ayeka as well (that’s right fellow Ryokofans, I said it, please don’t kick me out of the club) Sure, she comes across with the high-&-mighty princess attitude sometimes (well, quite often actually) but she
doeshave a point, I suppose. Crown princess of arguably the most powerful & advanced society in the known universe. & when it comes to Tenchi, her feelings are genuine & she’s shown that she can be very loving, kind & gentle. Not as expounded upon as much in the oav’s, I also gained a new appreciation for her & her relationship with Ryoko–her ‘competition’–after the first time I saw Tenchi Forever. When Tenchi was gone, & Ryoko & Ayeka went out searching for him, they both showed not only an unwavering love & loyalty for Tenchi, but we also see their relationship strengthen, & they bond in a way previously unseen in any of the continuities. Like a mutual respect for each other’s devotion for a person they deeply care about. Would that ever happen in real life? Outside of some sort of polygamist circle–probably not. Girls (& guys alike) would undoubtedly be too selfish & not be able to look past petty differences to do the right thing as Ayeka & Ryoko did. Yet as out of place as it may be to many of us in terms of today’s world, I never viewed their mutual love for Tenchi as odd–in any series or in the movie–even when they stopped fighting each other & directed their efforts together at the right person (Haruna!!!
👿 ). It was beautiful, that’s all I can describe it as.So as mentioned above, what would us Ryoko fans be left with in a world without Ayeka? Sure, many of us might say we’re happy at first (Ryoko included) that Ryoko has Tenchi all to herself, but if we stop & admit it to ourselves, the most memorable parts of the series, our favorite Ryoko moments, the fun times with the most laughs, the core component of the show would not be possible without the duo of Ryoko and Ayeka, the greatest rivalry in anime history.
^lol yes it’s been a while since the last one, but I know I for one been hella busy, & Dagon… well, sometimes I wonder if he’s not part bionic with how full his schedule always seems to be. I’m sure we’ll get an update when it will be soon (fyi Dagon, whenever it may be, I gotta’ test out my mic with u ahead of time–assuming I’ll be able to sit in on this one)
