yeah, I seem to remeber in that thread last september on of the other
theories we discussed was that it might actually be ryouko's way of
flirting with tenchi! you see, she's lead such a sheltered life in the
OAVs that it's quite possible that she doesn't know how to go about
expressing her feelings to him, so she figures that a playful fight my be
a good way for them to get to know each other and have a little fun... too
bad tenchi didn't think so.
