We all know it’s Tenchi x Ryoko but a lot of us like some of the other characters in the show, and it doesn’t hurt to pose a what if kind of situation. It happens all the time in media like this. Same with books.

I like Ryoko best for Tenchi because she’s clearly willing to lay down her life for him, if need be. In the OVA, it seems like all the other girls just stand around looking befuddled when Tenchi is in danger, but Ryoko tries to help. Ryoko pounced on Tenchi to get him away from Kagato, originally. Then on the Soja, Ryoko was weak and Kagato was giving off power that Ayeka’s guardians were shielding Ryoko from. She still tried to crawl forward to help Tenchi and then when she couldn’t, she begged for his life. Later he was in danger from the Mass, Ryoko was the first to try and get to him, teleporting but getting caught on Washu’s shield. As soon as she could get up though, she teleported to his side. In the final OVA, Tenchi is out fighting Z and Ryoko teleported out of the ship to fight with Tenchi. (Which admittedly wasn’t a good idea, Z was too much for her and Tenchi had to step in front of her to block her from getting hit, and got cut in half himself.) And even in Universe, Ryoko fought to get him to Juria despite her own injuries. She’s not just some crazed psycho, and I’m 100% sure her feelings run deeper for Tenchi than Kiyone’s do.

Seriously, though, Kiyone is too controlling. Not to mention, Mihoshi’s dark tanned skin + blond hair is totally hot. ;]

Stupid ditz 4TW!

But add another to the list of people who think that Kiyone’s the best option. :P

Pfft. Tenchi can have Ryoko then. I can have Kiyone all to myself.

voodoomage@ Well, I don’t quite agree but at least Mihoshi is at the end because she is the worst.

And in that Universe, Kiyone is the name given to Tenchi’s MOTHER.

When it comes down to it, Ryoko is the only one of the girls who will follow Tenchi to the ends of the Earth. And if that means becoming a simple farmer, so be it. No other girl is more dedicated and committed than she is.

Gotta love the way she’s not crazy. I also loved her fantasy about running away to a small fishing village at the edge of civilization.

Oh yeah, and she’s also the hottest. (I didn’t think I’d need to add that comment because it’s so obvious)
