YuunoxSubaru? I thought rainbows were straighter than Subaru?

Yuuno has the ability to make rainbows/girls straight... Or he's not manly enough to be considered a guy.

I choose to interpret it either way. In this case, Subaru has little to no sense of personal boundaries and genuinely thinks skinship is a totally platonic way to get to know her friends better, but she's still straight.

One or two fan-authors/artists presume that Subaru is somewhat insecure about her cyborg body and therefore intensely curious about the bodies of normal humans and other cyborgs; her very physical acts of affection double as efforts to explore and compare.
As for her sexuality, the only known significant male figure in her life is her FATHER. Her savior and rolemodel was a woman, and her best friend was a girl, and both of them were physically attractive. Put some handsome men in her life who are just as impressive or interesting to her as those two, and we could see how she reacts to men.

It would make for a very interesting story experiment.
And Erio is an ex-convict with no real character.
But more on topic, he's way too young, much too cute with Caro, and not actually impressive compared to Subaru in the way that Nanoha is. Erio's basic abilities are too similar to Subaru's own, whereas Teana is interesting by having capabilities wildly different from Subaru's own -- fighting smarter rather than stronger and using illusion magic, for example.
Add in the fact that Genya has the father role and she's really lacking in male contact.
Heck, being mutual standouts is WHY they were teamed up.
Subaru also had male instructors, but while they would have had more experience, they probably also lacked the sheer power to impress.
You can respect someone who makes you fight for a win. You stand in AWE of someone who can casually steamroll you.
Seeing how she reacts when she has to interact with the other males of the cast woud be intriguing. Particularly when you consider those males are Yuuno, Chrono, and Zafira.
Yuuno should have been involved period, teaching defensive spells and how to best use them, among many other contributions to Riot Force 6.
Chrono would never have feasibly been involved in the training, even if he was still an enforcer/investigator rather than a fleet admiral. If he was a part of Riot Force 6 at all, he would have been helping Fate with the investigation. Which Arf should have also been doing.
(In fact, it would have been neat if at some point in the investigation, Teana was tapped to come along because of her intelligence and illusion magic. This would help explain why Fate decided to invite her into the enforcers, and why Teana would accept when her original goal was to joint the Air Force.)
I don't count Vice or Verrossa as viable since they have even less character than Erio.
