Akamatsuverse Idea Time!
- Thread starter Lord Raa
- Start date
Perhaps, but Tsuruko does not strike as the type to put up constantly with him ranting about 'the firece Akane' or 'The firey tree born kettle girl'. If she did not kill him, she would make him kill himself over the dishonor of unfaithfulness to the wife. Or in the case of it being aranged, the family's wishes. And I doubt a lecture on the ways of heaven would save him.
Just had a thought about this latest crack idea - it could also explain why Tsuruko might not object to being Keitaro's mistress. You know, like in that new lemon idea I had....
Kuno's rantings and ravings, plus his infidelities (real or imagined - I don't know just yet) have driven Tsuruko to seeking solace in the arms of other men.
Thoughts on that one?

hmm, I do not know of any fics that have Kuno as Tsuruko's husband, though I do know that the idea of Motoko knowing Kuno and adding to her hatred of men has been done before by Hawk, though I don't think that should be any reason to stop you.
In the end though, I really can't say all that much on the idea since I am only vaguely knowledgable of anything having to do with Ranma.

Hmmm... THAT would certainly be a fantastic reason for her to want Keitaro. Her family might have been looking for an out for her since shortly after the marriage. They couldn't just back out because of honor.
Maybe the thought of losing another woman to another foul sorcerer may send Kuno over the edge. Tsuruko, possibly with Motoko at her side, is obligated to protect Keitaro, finally bringing the terror of kami-sama to his mind after the fearsome beating. His fear drives him to divorce Tsuruko, thus laying the dishonor on his family, since a true Samurai male would NEVER be intimidated by his wife. *cough* *cough*
Being part of the force that defeats that which has haunted her for so long, Motoko may finally be able to put her hate of men aside...

The age disparity is one reason why I refuse to believe Naru is the 'Promise Girl', even with Mitsumi as mediator.
Keitaro is 19, subtract 15 and get 4, that I will barely believe a promise.
Naru is 17, subtract 15 and get 2, I refuse to believe she could understand the concept of university or of marriage, let alone a promise to get married upon entering.

very true, but it is important to remember, she didnt promise him that, he just promised mutsumi and naru that they would all be happy when they go to Tokyo U together... granted, he changed what he thught that meant later on, and even forgot that he promised Mutsumi anything at all, but then again, Granny Hina does say at the end that the promise girl is right next to him, suggesting that its Naru...
The marriage part comes from winning the rock-paper-scisors match with Mutsumi to see who gets to wed keitaro.
An Interesting offshoot idea would be to have keitaro promise to get in with Naru, but naru loses to Mutsumi and thus, promises to let Mutumi marry Keitaro and live happly ever after.
Thus it acts like an ultimate force keeping naru and keitaro from ever having a stable realtionship, while pushing Mutsumi to him. But at the same time, he can't get into school without Naru. This is why he remembers Mutsumi from the promise, instead of naru: She is the ones he is ment to love, so the promise keeps her on his mind, making her his dream girl.

Had a random thought.
What if Keitaro had some sort or experience that left him somewhat gun-shy when it comes to women?
As in a this?
There's potential for lemony goodness; possibly something along the lines of a harem.
Hmm... Does this work better as a complete AU or as a divergence after a clichÚd trip via Air Naru or Air Motoko?
Perhaps one of you out there on t'internet can assist with this?
Edit: I just realised that this would make it very similar to Keitaro, the Hater of Women, only with more laughs.
But laughs and fanservice is fine too, right?

But Haruka gets better, sorta. I mean no one is launched into the sky and she realises how horrible she was. At least Nishiharu tries to make it up to him (I've never felt that much sympathy for Naru). Anyway as of volume 5, I feel he's getting better at dealing with women as opposed to Naru conditioning (training) Keitaro into her "sub".
Raa, I agree it would be like "Hater of Women" except for the fact that this Keitaro isn't going to stay an emotional cripple. In "Hater" some of the scenes felt too much like SI or Hater's Keitaro was actually Akane Tendo in disguise.
Edit: BTW I'm a fan of Girl Saurus (You can tell from my avatar) Take what I've said with a grain of salt, ne?

That is probably going a bit far. In that story, he has justification for almost all of his actions, and in honesty, I think him fairly grounded, if extreme.
In almost every instance of him being extreme, his is either being in the process of assalted, demeaned, manipulated, severely misunderstood, yelled at, or privacy invaded.

I've been thinking about this latest "idea" of mine.
What if I had a divergence from Grotesque Puppetry?
As in, something happens that means that Keitaro is brought back to the Inn, though his treatment at the hands of the girls has made him scared of anything female.
Basically, I've not been inspired to write some of the backstory/set up for this as an AU.
Also, I wanted more feedback on this idea.

Smells like win, Raa. While I couldn't give any solid opinion until I see some actual
writing, like a clip, snippet, or overall summary, I would like to extend some caution.
If you do this, try to justify it well. Don't have Keitaro go all 'HOLY SHIT, GIRLS! RUNN!'
without a really just cause. And don't make him too pathetic either. As funny as it
is, it's the sense of realism that makes it funnier. Have some struggle involved.
And is Keitaro going to have a 'safety girl'? That is to say, a girl/woman who is
somehow excluded from the phobia. Perhaps Kanoko or Haruka, because their
related, or Shinobu, because she hasn't really done anything to him?
For what it's worth, my vote goes to seeing it done.

The main problem is that he wouldn't be able to do anything in the dorm, managerial wise. Of course, you have to wonder why is he coming back?
Is it for a cure, probably not.
Most likely whoever (Kanako probably) was doing a shitty job, so they needed him back, since everyone else eligible for the position has other obligations or stuff going on.
Kanako will of course be pleased, though she will most likely be the one who does the manager stuff, Keitaro would just be there to make sure she doesn't do anything drastic to the girls. Which is exactly the reason he is back.
Of course that is just my suggestion.

Your sarcasm holds a ring of truth. Some studies suggest that confronting your phobia's head-on
can be a very effective treatment.
And you could always give Keitaro some credit. It takes a seriously advanced set of skills to do some
of the repairs that he's been seen doing. Electrictian, carpenter, woodworker, ability to lay masonry.
And that's just the stuff we've seen him do. It's highly possible that he has to come back because
he's the only one that can do all of that, and do it free of charge. Some of those things, especially
the electrical work and laying/repairing stonework, tend to run very high as far as cost is concerned.
It may very well be that they either they get Keitaro back, or all of their rent's have to be raised
to afford the repairs. That's money that some of them, especially Mitusne, probably don't have.
And in the end, it's not about whether or not he need's them. It's that they may very well need
him. After all, you never know what you have until it's gone, and I bet a few days of having to
put up with gaping holes in the walls and ceiling from Motoko having accidents while practicing
would wear on one's patience.
And that goes double if it's winter and/or they get constant, heavy rain. Sucks to be them.
