But, despite all of his denials and his involvement with other girls,
when the cards are down, he'll protect her.
So, why is it the consensus opinion of this list that the Ataru & Lum
match is inevitable but the Ranma & Shampoo match is highly unlikely?
Because of this line here - it's not the truth in the Ranma - Shampoo
thing. It's true in the Ataru - Lum match, though ... and that's the big
difference.
The Ranma-Shampoo one is actually:
"... when the cards are down, he'd rather protect the one he loves than
her."
If it came down to protecting Akane or protecting Shampoo - he'd protect
Akane.
And I don't really remember one incident of Ranma going out of his way to
protect Shampoo, without an ulteria motive... Ranma protects Akane because
he loves her.
Kun-chan...
