Kururu vs Ringo

[thefolenangel]

Who will win the fight for ikki's heart? ;)

[Hyuver]

Kururu!!!! :D

Reason
It's love at first sight who can't help
Since those 2 meet up they are already attracted to each other, actually I don't really feel anything about Ikki and Ringo, their relationship is just to boring, so slow and almost not interesting except at the Kyoto arc which is really funny

The problem is Ringo is just to whiny talking this and that to Ikki almost all the time but doesn't really express her feeling towards him and Ikki just too slow to realize her feeling

I like Ikki relationship with all the Noyamano like Ume, Rika and Mikan(man whenever they start fight it's hilarious XD) but somehow I feel his relationship with Ringo is just too dull

I feel the chemistry between Ikki and Kururu is more appealing, they really make cute couple and they are more straight about their relationship unlike Ringo she is able to express her feeling well, while every time Ringo got the chance with Ikki she always blow it up by lecturing Ikki this and that -___-

[zxcvbn]

Kururu(I hope)!

[thefolenangel]

so we all love Kururu :D

[rasenshuriken]

it has to be kururu, no contest

[penguinism]

as much as i love kururu...itll be ringo, ikki is a guy, and a 15-16 year old guy at that, hes gonna like any girl that shares the same interests at him, which at the moment is kururu...eventually hell realize kururu is doin her JOB being his tuner, and that although they get close being tuner and rider the bond with ringo is far deeper and more true than anything he has had or will have with kururu

[Wolf]

Kururu may really like Ikki but when I do look at their relationship it's just puppy love. Granted they're yound so it could end up with those two together but my bet is gonig on Ringo. I think she likes Ikki for all the right reasons even if she blows it everytime she gets her chance. :mad:

[vogirl]

kururu all the way...
does kururu mean anything in japanese? [random]

[Legendary Z]

Yay for Kururu

[Soladrin]

ringo, why? same reasons as peng really. (and i never liked kururu :rolleyes: )

[yankumi018]

yeah...i believe and I think it is obvious enough that Ringo would win over kururu.....what the heck can kururu do, split Ringo's AT in a second without having her target realize that she is now being stripped of her AT??....Ringo as the Thorn Queen would definitely able to react to that.....

Ringo, I think, is the strongest female AT rider in the series...let's just wait if that Pyon-girl can do something more marvelous that her......
:)

[Katsuomori]

Ahhhh... it's rather hard to choose between Kururu and Ringo. I didn't say that Ringo is better... just that my choice would be Kururu... still... time will tell heh? :rolleyes:

Kururu is my choice.

[Fredegart]

Ahhhh... it's rather hard to choose between Kururu and Ringo. I didn't say that Ringo is better... just that my choice would be Kururu... still... time will tell heh? :rolleyes:

Kururu is my choice.

I just think Kururu is far better... in personality and not in AT's obviously.
=D

But now... some ppl are saying about kururu's relationship with Ikki being just a tuner relationship... I deeply disagree with that...
Kururu up till now, and even when ikki was the wind king, didn't want to tuner him with those clothes from the ttt. She thought that she wasn't ready for that, cause she didn't fell at ease... Means that she feels that she must like the person to be able to tuner him... Wich leads us to the point that their relationship will transcend any relationship of tuners... Even some tuners liking their kings it's almost never the other way around... This must be first time that the king and the tuner will like each other.
=D

i really agree with penguinism here, for the most part, but i think that Kururu really does like Ikki romantically, as well as doing her job as a tuner, and their only going ot get closer since as the previous Pledge Queen said "kings and their tuners relationship is closer thing lovers," of course in not so many words but thats not the point XP. the point is that although Kururu really does like Ikki, and Ikki does seem to like Kururu, I'm banking on the whole childhood friend thing to come through in the end. Ikki has been with Ringo since almost day one, and has cared about her, and as the series progresses i think that although he'll sorta be with Kururu at this point he'll start to realize how deep his feelings for Ringo run. and they'll probably have to face each other again as kings, but i think that its gunna at that point that Ikki will really be able to see how he really feels for Ringo.

Err.. you do realize that this thread debates over who will win Ikki's heart, not who would win in a battle =P.

My vote is for Kururu. One reason is because I couldn't give a damn about Ringo and at the moment Kururu and Ikki both seem to share feelings for one another.

[Yumemi]

Kururu!!!!

[Fredegart]

Go Kururu...
Kick some Ringo's ***
=D

[Satralis]

Im glad i could add to the Kururu count in the poll. Soon i might start a thread with "Ringo or Kururu?" title but as for now i would say that Ringo is too strong to be needing someones help wich could be a good chance for Ikki to show his interest... As of now the more trouble Kururu gets in the closer she gets to Ikki.

[Fredegart]

You sure are right...
Ikki got very protective about Kururu as we could see in the last chapters.
=D
But with the things that happened now I wonder what will happen...

[Life]

Ikki's always protective of the girls in his life remember Simca and Ringo he goes crazy just cause they get injured its just how he is. I wonder what will happen two he has to many girls in his life.

[Satralis]

He will become paranoid and gonna kill anyone who dares to get closer than 5 meters to the mentioned girls ^^
True that Ikki is that type... he wanted to go after Hako too.
BUT i think that in Kururus case it was something more. Also notice that when he was actually infomred that it was Ringo who crippled Simca he just ran away without any intention to face Ringo. If not for the thorn queen that battle would have never happened.

[Life]

Well Ringo was there when he heard it was her group he left and was all Ringo I trusted you before she went Thorn Reg on him and forced him to stay.

I'm thinking Ringo's gonna do something to help our beloved Kururu cause she saw Hako and that girl who's with the evil bros so I'm thinking she followed or is gonna intercept Hako tasering Kururu.

[Satralis]

Yea as far as discussions go everyone expect Ringo to save Kururu.. cause if she doesnt than it will be a big letdown to Ringo supporters and another reason to say that shes no good :D
I also think that she will help... BUT there is still the issue of the law of the tropheum..maybe she may not do so and that will prevent her from saving Kururu...what would that do...im curious.

[midorika]

I only vote for Ringo.
That's it.
Ringo will win ikki's heart.
Kururu out of the way...

[Hyuver]

That's why she got the Croissant Mask costume to help her during the time she have to break the Tropaeum law :D

[tekkadark]

That's why she got the Croissant Mask costume to help her during the time she have to break the Tropaeum law :D

yea but in the future she probably won't be able to use that method of going around tropheum law. espeically now that she has been fully revealed as the leader of Sleeping Forest.

However i do think that in the future she might save kururu out of respect as someone who also loves ikki, sorta as a way of saying "if im gunna win, im gunna win fair and square, and this is entry seperate from the parts war, its a hearts war" yes that was cheesy but u all get the point :P

[kinneth]

Kururu, Ftw. ~

[silverstar11]

By the way, what's the punishment if Ringo will be discovered violating the tropheum law?

[Hyuver]

By the way, what's the punishment if Ringo will be discovered violating the tropheum law?

Being crushed by the sleeping forest and being kick out for the AT world forever, similiar to what she did to Simca I suppose...
They haven't mentioned but suppose to be something like that

[silverstar11]

oh thx, wonder if she can defend herself against the sleeping forest members..

[zxcvbn]

I'm pretty sure Ringo WILL come to rescue Kururu. Aren't all Stormrider teams obliged not to attack members of Toul Tool Tou on account of their neutrality? Then they should also be obliged to protect TTT members if someone breaks this rule and attacks one. The Trophaeum Law doesn't apply here.

that might be the case, but what is the exact Trophaeum Law? i don't remeber ever reading where it was dictated, only metioned that its somehting that shouldn't be broken. so if thats the case whats to say what breaks the law and what doesn't?

if i'm wrong and it was discussed and i just missed it, then my mistake sorry :p

[midorika]

Oh man... Ringo is dropping far behind... hmm...

I'm expecting ringo to rescue kururu too.. adds to the complexity between ikki, ringo and kururu.:clown:

[lyfreak]

can't ikki have both and everyone lives happily ever after?

[Hyuver]

I don't think Ikki would do that, yeah he got a perverted side

but if he really the one who would do polygamy he should done it with Hako when she offered her body to him :p

[Katsuomori]

can't ikki have both and everyone lives happily ever after?

Yeah, that's what I had in mind but I know he won't do that anyway. :D

[tekkadark]

can't ikki have both and everyone lives happily ever after?

as awsome as that would be, and as perverted as OH!Great is ;P, he would definatly make ikki pick cuz its not just about choosing between two hot girls, its about seriously choosing his one true partner. who as he said would make him fly. and if u pardon the pun, its up in the air at this point XP

[HappyStealer]

right on penguinism. I definitely agree with you on this. He's going through his phase of fascination love with simca, puppy/interest love with kururu and it should lead to true love with ringo.

[midorika]

I agree to the above as well...
And so hopefully ringo is the right girl for ikki

[Life]

She has to in order to redeem herself in Ikki's eyes and that of the readers.

I think they'll both help him fly both only one will be with him. I think it might be one and he keeps the other as a friend and the other moves on to someone else hopefully a character we've seen

Doubt it's puppy love with Kururu but I really don't understand Kururu that much she's just as confusing as Ringo in my eyes.

[tekkadark]

I think that would ideal but i really doubt that would happen. i think that the one that was scorned will either disappear in tears and reappear as a villian or villian support to prove to ikki thier worth or revenge or something like that, or one of them will actually die. im actaully leaning more toward the latter, and it would be during the Gram Scale Tourney. the question is who's death would ahve more of a profound effect on Ikki as a rider, but wahts more as a person?

[HappyStealer]

Well, I see it as a convenience love too. She's his tuner so she normally has to be somewhat connected to him. But I still don't see it as true love in comparison to Ringo

[Vicious]

Ringo should win!
girls are generally protective of their kisses.
so when Kanon stole a kiss, she was clearly angry.
it was just because of the circumstances at the time that Ikki was thinking about his a-t's instead of her.
and then, later on, she kissed him directly, and willingly, even after they had a big fight!

I like Kururu too, but Ringo just seems a better candidate.

[midorika]

ringo has a longer history with ikki...
Kururu is just the new girl...

Really, I would see that ringo is the one who help ikki the most regarding AT. She's the one who first started to teach him to ride isn't it..
And kururu? she's just there to tune... And it just happened and designed that way that she's ikki's tuner.... and so? end of story...

On the other hand, there's more that can be developed in between ikki and ringo... and the story far more interesting than it can with kururu...

Not to mention she still watches over his team. And apparently she knows when he's in pain..... Yeah ringo has done a lot for ikki and ikki is too dumb to recognize what she's done for him. Anything that Kururu may/or has done, can never really compare to anything ringo has. Ringo is technically the first to help Ikki with his wings.

[tekkadark]

While i do agree with you, midorika, that Ringo should win, i do disagree with what you said here:

While Ringo and Ikki's relationship can be developed laot more and has many paths it could take, i think there is even more that can be done with Kururu right now. since Ringo is the enemy. and Ikki sorta views her as such, Kururu is completely in his focus, but i think that whats going to happen between Kururu and Ikki will sorta set the tone of whats gunna happen between ikki and ringo. there is alot of things that can, and probably will happen between Ikki and Kururu, but i think in the end it will show that even though him and Kururu have been through alot, the only girl for him is Ringo, and all this stuff will probably help him to see it ^_^

[silverstar11]

I don't think ikki thought of ringo as an enemy (i really hope not).
After all, Ikki made a promise to ringo before leaving their house.But yea, i totally agree after the major battle ikki will eventually realizes what he really wants and will reveal his love interest :love: Because for now it's too soon to tell.

[midorika]

@tekkadark - you've your point there, i agree with you~

Whatever it is, i pray and pray that all ends well and happy between ikki and ringo. That's the most important thing right now for me~~ Well, besides the nice plot of air gear of course.

[tekkadark]

to silverstar- i guess enemy wouldn't be the best word...i keep on thinking sorta obsticle in his way, which in ikki's eyes is an enemy XP, but its not that he hates her. if u excuse the pun a thorn in his side. he knows, somewhere in the back of his mind that he will ahve to face ringo again, seriously, and the stakes are probably gunna be a bit higher at the time and i think that he knows this is inevitable. and ur definatly right that its too soon to tell...but we can still hope and chear for Ringo right,? ^_^

to midorika- i'm not sure if what i want is a happy ending with ringo and ikki. its not that i want ringo to lose, no i want her to win ikki's heart, period. but as long as that happens, the way it does really doesn't bother me. wether through happeness or sorrow. of course i would definatly prefer the happy road to the sad one , but we'll have to wait and see. :P

[HappyStealer]

definitely tekkadark, midorika, and silverstar11. I get what you mean by the whole happiness/sorrow path tekka. I mean, I would definitely like to see ikki and ringo hook up at the end but I think what would make me enjoy that relationship more is the struggles between the two. Afterall, isn't being in a real relationship a struggle in the beginning but in the end, you realize you love that person to the utmost extent? (of course you'll have bumps later on too but thats given) Kururu is an amazing person, one of my fav characters, but I personally don't see Ikki for her. Also, no matter how much the focus is currently on Kururu, Ringo is still somehow involved as shown in the previous chapter of her overseeing Hako's convo with that other lady. Its just not Air Gear without Ringo :-P lol

[midorika]

Its just not Air Gear without Ringo :-P lol

TRUE.
She was right there in the first chapter of Air Gear.. to suddenly dismiss her as some minor character in this new development is definitely a no no for me!! She's always the main heroine. Even now, I'm really missing her in action...

And yes, struggles would mean more chemistry between a couple. (I think ;P) Again, at least let hako has a chance to zap kururu for once and then make ringo flies into the picture as "prince charming" on her thorn road to save the day and everybody lives happily ever after~~

[tekkadark]

I don't think the O!G will ever dismiss ringo, and make her a minor character, because as u said, midorika, she's been there form the get go and yes to some degree i agee that she could be considered the main heroine. but its just that the focus of the manga is not on SF (sleeping forest XP) so her appearences won't be nearly as frequant as they used ot be.

and its very true that struggle could cause more chemsitry between Ringo and Ikki, but that doesn't nessicarily have to be a good thing. Ringo and Ikki's relationship is walking a very fine line. so what happens in the story in the up coming chapters might very set the tone between them for the rest of the series...or not XP

and about the whole prince charming thing, Midorika, thats a cute idea, and if it only happened that easyily i'd definatly jump for joy and do a happy dance ^_^. but its an intersting idea, in that should that happen were Kururu, gets zapped and Ringo comes in for the save, it could provide more info on the up coming battle, but it could also really bring Kururu and Ringo together for a heart to heart time. something that hasn't been done yet. see who really loves Ikki more (Ringo, of course XP).

For that, maybe yuri could be suggested~~ LOLZ...
Imagine -- Ringo X Kururu ~~ and Ikki is knock out of the game~~!! LOLZ
Yeah, I bet there would be some heart to heart conversation in between Ringo and Kururu in the future~~!!

[HappyStealer]

Ringo X Kururu would be an awesome dream come true LOL

[Karshu]

Ringo X Kururu.. Wow.. They are both really cute.

Anyway! Can't drift off.

I don't know.. But I'll put my two cents in.

Ringo and Ikki have always had a past together since childhood. Even now, Ringo still has feelings for Ikki and believes in him. (And Ringo isn't a minor character, or is she becoming one. She's just turned from Heroine/sidekick/support for Ikki into Kogarusumaru's and Ikki's enemy. Which is why she doesn't appear as much. She'll have a major role later on once the final battle begins. After all, Ringo will be the final opponent in a 1 vs 1 match for the Sky Regalia) Not only that, Ringo finally kissed Ikki before he left home. (This relationship can be compared with Batman and Catwoman or maybe Inuyasha and Kikyo)

Kururu and Ikki are Rider and Tuner, which in some cases, can start a great relationship. After all, Kanon really likes Ringo, but Ringo may be a little obsessed with Ikki. (I say this because I think Ringo's affection for Ikki started when Ikki fell/jumped off the tower and was caught by the giant bird, which made Ringo believe greatly in Ikki's ability and possible heroism.) Not only that, but you have to remember. When Ikki closed his eyes and tried to think about his perfect girl or something, who showed up? It was Kururu, and not Ringo or anyone else. Which actually made Ikki a little nervous around Kururu too.

I haven't decided yet, but you guys also need to remember. Anything can happen. It could be like what happened in Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED: Destiny where the main character's love interest dies so he falls in love with someone else. When Flay died, Kira then got together with Lacus. And after Stella died, Shinn got together with Lunamaria (though I think Luna and Shinn had a small thing before Stella at first).

When it comes to anime and manga relationships, anyone could win, and anyone could lose.

[grahf]

I honestly think Ringo will be the ongoing love interest of Ikki. But I see Kururu making a sacrifice for Ikki. Possibly her own life or something along those lines.

Now while i don't get the Gundam Seed/ Gundam Seed:Destiny reference (since i never actually saw it XP), i get the point ur making and its a very valid one. and its a point that was sorta glossed over before but u bring up something new, in the possiblity that the one Ikki loves could die,and Ikki getting together with the other girl. its a definate possibility, but i don't think it's gunna happen. i think that Ikki will choose one and stick with it period. one way or another (atleasts thats what i really hope ^_^)

but ur definatly right that when it comes to anime and manga relationships the possible outcomes are endless. which is why its so much more fun to discuss, because pretty much anything u think of can happen ^_^.
