Epsilon: Amusingly, in another Lum-like contrivance of the series, she totally changes her character to conform to fanboy preferences. I like how people convienently "forget" the fact she was trying to kill Tenchi in the first episode.
Blade: Oh no, don't you know, she wasn't trying to kill him, because she loves him so much because she was watching him like some creepy stalker pervert from the shrine. She only blew up large portions of the building indiscriminately while chasing him and not being sure entirely where he was, and talked to HERSELF about killing him. Which makes her, not a psycho, oh no. Just an incredibly reckless, possibly schizophrenic fruit loop.
Epsilon: And let's face it, if she didn't spend about 50% of her on screen time naked, she wouldn't be half as popular.
Blade: Even if Tenchi characters are skinny, oddly deformed, nippleless freaks. But that's beside the point.
Epsilon: Yes, the POINT is how much you people like her despite the fact she does NOTHING SPECIAL. Name one thing Ryoko is known for that I can not attribute to a thousand other anime "babes" across the medium!
Blade: Oooh! Let me guess! Showing her soft side and that she really isn't the callous uncaring bitch she comes off as! Boy, THAT'S never been done before, huh?
Epsilon: (grinning maliciously) And don't stop there, Blade! Consider her other endearing qualities...
Blade: Oh, you mean like taking all the group's money to go get help when they were in trouble, and then running off and having a pleasure trip and totally forgetting about them? Sure, that was in Tenchi Universe and maybe not technically relevent, but who cares?
Epsilon: Well, Blade, if we're going to get into the alternate continuities, why not talk about all the lovely stuff she did in the Tenchi Manga as well. (tents fingers in front of mouth to conceal vicious smile)
Blade: You mean like having the unmitigated GALL to slap Aeka around in the first storyarc? That effing BITCH!
Epsilon: (hunched over, just short of cackling) Not to mention all the times she's overshadowed the other characters by dint of popularity alone. I mean, does -Aeka- get a clone... nooo...
Blade: NO! EXACTLY! You SEE? She's there, always there, always stealing the spotlight, always getting everything, everything! Always getting Tenchi in stupid alternate continuities! But I won't put up with it! No I won't!
Epsilon: Yes...dance, puppet, dance...
Blade: Ryoko is the one who steals your socks when you do laundry! Not the pair, never. Just one, ALWAYS just one. And then she carefully puts it in her collection, and laughs and laughs and laughs. Laughs at YOU! AT ME!
Epsilon: (points down at gallery) Look! There she is! Quickly, Blade! You must act!
Blade: (shrieks incoherently and begins gnawing on monitor screen)
Epsilon: (looks to audience) You think this is bad, you should see the time I forced him to write up his thoughts about Belldandy. Anyway, enjoy the pictures or whatever.
