Why is the main girl always the worst one?
>>282855352they generally aren't, you're just a contrarian
>>282855394>t.shiteater
>>282855410just cultivate a personality, that way you won't have to worry about performatively picking the unpopular option every single time
>>282855352lum is cute.
>>282855352Lum is not the main girl
>>282855352Rebecca was better
>>282855352You're right Shinobu is the worst girl
Lum made me drop the anime
>>282855678Mindbroken
>>282855561Give it up Rumiko.
>>282855562Rebecca is not canon, therefore she doesn't exist, just like the evil gay clown.
>>282856068Hate this bitch
>>282856068I love this nice girl
>>282856026She hates Lum?
>>282856267>She hates Lum?Hated her for cucking her self-insert Shinobu so much she did a do-over with Ranma, and portrayed the NotLum Shampoo in the most unflattering way possible.
>>282856502I respect that but then was she pressured by her editor to make Lum the winner?
>>282855352She has a good butt, so Lum is fine
>>282856537>was she pressured by her editor to make Lum the winner?Yes.
>>282857086LUM BUM
Aqua is objectively the best choice for Kazuma as his partner, though
>>282855352For better or worse, main girls always have the most personality.
>>282856068Pic not related?
>>282856068You're just jealous she gets to fuck Inuyasha and you don't.
>>282856141The anime and the manga are different continuities, therefore Rebecca exists and she won da yugibowl
>>282857753both the author and the anime studios go way out of their way to portray these two as the closest sibling-like relationship possible without a hint of sexual or romantic attraction. it's wholesome af.
>>282855352literary constraint
>>282855352Rumiko used self-inserts as main girls for her series without knowing/caring about being herself an awful example of womanhood.Lum becoming the main was editor meddling.
>>282859838theyre both so unsexy i cant even imagine them fucking to be honest
>>282860551the fact that there is no romantic or sexual attraction is what makes it best, because their love for one another goes beyond the usual clichés and tropes about romance. They're act like a happy old couple, it's sweet
>>282857394That’s sad
>>282856068Is she the worst Rumi girl? I can’t think of any redeeming qualities
>>282855352Her screaming Kurosaki kun every two seconds was unbearable
>>282855547a cute BITCH
>>282855352That's the secret behind UY's success. Shinobu was intended to be the main girl and that's why she admits that lame main heroine energy. Lum was meant to be an occasional annoyance but became so popular that editors pushed Rumiko into making her the main heroine (she hated that and made sure never allow something similar to happen in any future works) that's why she's so vibrant and interesting.
An unfathomably awful character.
>>282863157She wasn’t that bad on a reread
>>282863142>Screaming and attacking the MC for not being in to her>Interesting
>>282863167Watching the remake, she's worse than I remember.
>>282855352Lum is violent, jealous, manipulative, possessive, sadistic, unfaithful, selfish, a stalker, a compulsory liar, a terrible cook, has bad temper, is clingy and unfunny.
>>282863199Beats a boring ass "holier than thou" prude tsundere anyday.
>>282863224I never bothered with that when it came out but she ended up just being okay
>>282863248how to get lum wife?
>>282863252She’s beautiful and cute
>>282863248Based
>>282863267Grab her by the horns. No, really.
ITT: retards waifuing Takahashi characters when the whole point of them is that they are all terrible people who deserve to suffer at each other's hands for our amusement
>>282863248>a terrible cookThat's racist. She's only a bad cook by Earth/Human standards.
>>282863248And that was the birth of every bad waifu character ever thanks a lot Lum
>>282855352Don't know why she has not been posted yet
>>282863298ok but what if i'm into that?
>>282863298Okay fag
>>282855394Fpbp
>>282857602Should be on my face
>>282855394fippiebippie
>>282863252Shinobu is peak woman.
>>282855352Anyone who remembers this series will remember first and foremost that the original intention was for Ataru and Shinobu to be the real couple with Lum being the annoying Alien fucking things up for them. But something happened. The fans liked Lum more than Shinobu because Lum wore a bikini. And no matter how hard Takahashi tried to make Lum insufferable, the fans wouldn't let up. So she had to shift to Lum being the main love interest setting the precedent that degenerate otaku get to run the industry. Shame on all you Lumfags.
>>282855394NPC
>>282858300>For better or worse, main girls always have the most personality.Kek, no
>>282856195Trust me, there's far worse ones than her out there.
>>282865031Such as?
>>282863298I want to suffer at Lum's hands.
>>282863248>Lum is violent, jealous, manipulative, possessive, sadistic, unfaithful, selfish, a stalker, a compulsory liar, a terrible cook, has bad temper, is clingy and unfunny.Wasn't it her idea to take Ataru to that random island and make it seem like he killed everyone just because she did not like him flirting with girls?
>>282864086Makes you wonder if Shinobu would've been more popular if she had been a scantily clad WHORE like Lum was.
>>282865929Not that he killed everyone, but that everyone else was killed and he was left alone.She also went back to the past to groom him when he was still a child.
>>282866355I guess things balanced out in some strange way>>282866393That's still very fucked
>>282865929Are you talking about the Ten Little Yatsuras episode? Because everyone was in on it in that one.
>>282867030But wasn't it still her idea to do it with everyone?
>>282855562>>282856141>>282859950Even Duel Links finally relented and added Rebecca to the game. It's over, Anzufags.
>>282865929I remember that episode. Almost the entire cast cooperated in the cruel prank and they were all scolded at the end of the episode. It was fun as hell.
>>282867783Really? That's awesome good for her.
>>282867234Don't remember. I should watch the episode again. Its one of the best of the "Horror Episodes" anyways.
bump
>>282866355Shinobu (Forma de Oni)
>>282870843Cute
>>282866355>if Shinobu would've been more popular if she had been a scantily clad WHORE like Lum wasProbably.
>>282863142Based editor-sama.
>>282871400classicfor me, it was the guy who wanted dolls to replace women
>>282863654Because there is no main girl on Slam Dunk and pic related was the only girl besides the manager that treated MC with respect despite simping over the other guy.
>>282863248>>282863281>>282863963Rumiko…
>>282872168You gotta respect the hatred even someone like Toriyama hated the shit out of Chichi
>>282872279That's a rumour. Toriyama didn't hated ChiChi. She was a joke he found funny. Strongest man in the universe have a nagging wife. Hilarity ensues.
>>282862738>Is she the worst Rumi girl? I can’t think of any redeeming qualitiesWhat makes her any worse than Akane?
>>282872651
>>282872680Akane was not even that bad
>>282855352Why do people shamelessly bait?
>>282863142>she hated that and made sure never allow something similar to happen in any future worksI'm pretty sure that also happened in Ranma, seeing as how the most shipped pairs were Ranma/Shampoo and FUCKING Ranma/Ryoga.She did it properly in Inuyasha by making Kikyou an empty shell.
>>282872686>turns cute Kid Chi into Harpy Chi to spite himselfhow queer
>>282863199the point is reader-kun projects onto Ataru, and imagines how he would treat Lum if he were in Ataru's place. Which, for most guys reading, would be to respond her aggressive pursuit with open arms and a return of lavish affection. Which is all Lum wants from Ataru, and when given it becomes a sweet and devoted and unconditionally loving girl. Every man's dream.
>>282872828The strange thing is that there was no break after the 23rd budokai so the kind Chichi suddenly turned into some bitch out of nowhere in the span of like five chapters
>>282872953which is why I like the Honeymoon Saga back when the anime writers were still under the assumption the 'angery' attitude was just her being annoyed that Goku didn't recognise her, and that she would go right back to being sweet and dumb as a sack of potatoes once she had him on lock. You get an entire saga of Goku and Chichi going on an adventure, bonding and having fun, and Chichi is sweet and bubbly and very concerned over how good of a wife she'll be. Very cute for the duration of that arc. she even fights some and helps Goku.
>>282873113Yeah that was nice, they put it at the very end of OG Dragon Ball so the anime could end with Goku and Chichi helping each other save her father and her Kingdom and get married
>>282872953Toriyama's way to say that pregnancy ruins a woman.
>>282873180my only complaint was they blueballed us on the hot springs scene.
>>282863248And she's smart, and she's a princess, and she's stubborn.
>>282873180very cute when she's allowed to be
>>282856502>portrayed the NotLum Shampoo in the most unflattering way possible.If that was her intention, she didn't do a good job at it.
>>282855394
>>282874179Was the meme of the MC getting hard and crying she is banging other guy real?
>>282855352Oneitis. Developmentally-stunted writers writing for a developmentally-stunted audience vastly overvalue the concept of 'first love', so doggedly stick with a terrible character simply because she was first. If they want a different girl to win, they'll invariably introduce her as the REAL first girl who met MC-kun when they were like 6 but he conveniently forgot her. simply to preserve the 'first love'.
>>282872953>so the kind Chichi suddenly turned into some bitch out of nowhere in the span of like five chaptersAny woman would turn in a nagging bitch if they had Goku for a husband.
>>282874231he was daydreaming about her banging the guy while in a public pool where he then got an erection and leaked precum into the public pool like the digusting louse he is
>>282872953>turned into some bitch out of nowhere in the span of like five chaptersThey were married for 5 years in universe. Just because 5 chapters passed since then, that doesn't mean they've only been married for 5 days or 5 hours.
>>282874231It happened more than once in the manga
>>282864086Based LumCHADS
>>282874535>>282874771Who the fuck reads ths shit?
>>282874617Still it's such a sudden shift in her personality
>>282874922people who can't turn away from trainwrecks, which is how it got 4+ fucking seasons while good manga get axed kek
>>282874950It's almost like being married changes a person's attitude. Imagine that.
>>282875492This is Dragon Ball
>>282855352not always true
>>282877433Twins?
>>282855352>>282863248Considering how Ataru behaves, Lum is reasonably restrained *most* of the time. The positives far outweigh the negatives:> exotic mix of cute/sexy> extremely loyal> extremely caring> intelligent> family oriented> supportive family> makes huge efforts to learn/fit in> literal royaltyLum getting angry and zapping the shit out of Ataru when he hits on another girl right in front of her doesn't even register for most people as a negative, how would you want her to act? Shinobu slaps Ataru at the start of the story for the same thing, and he deserved it.The real negative of Lum is that she actually likes Ataru more for being hard-to-get. She's still very immature and most of her relationships are toxic. But she will eventually grow out of it.
>>282877645yeah
>>282855352She's the worst one because she's the main one. Side characters can be complex, unpredictable. You can take wild chances with them. Do more unique things. Develop them in ways outside their relationship to the MC. Meanwhile main girl has to go for the broadest appeal. She can't take chances and needs to be tied to them MC completely.
>>282878301/thread
>>282872686>I don't want to draw her anymoreHe definitely said that more than several times.Strong female fighter? Arc's over!To the kitchen you go, housewife!!!
>>282878630Videl was the funniest example of this
>>282855352because the others start from a lower place so writers need to put extra effort
>>282863252>>282863142So Shinobu was Rumiko's self insert and they told her she was too boring to be the lead girl? no wonder she got mad
>>282855352She peaked in part 1
>>282880643Editors can be based or faggots, this time being the latter
>>282880714Loli Sakura and Loli Ino are still seamen demons to this day phew
>>282880583This as well.
>>282855352If we speak about this era of manga and anime then yes
>>282872796Yeah but on the case of Ranma 1/2 Rumiko stuck to her guns and absolutely refused to turn Shampoo into the lead love interest no matter how popular she was.
>>282874179she's bad but arguably not the worst, his ex is a sociopath trying to ruin his life, which to be fair is completely deserved
