>>2196>lumnah she said Lum is completely different from her, it's the most unrelatable character there is for her.
I also think you are coping about her being a lesbian, plenty of yumejoshis draw sexy beautiful girls without being necessary attracted to them. It's just a fantasy.

Shinobu is not as fun as Lum, but at least she avoids the trope of “fighter who’s supposedly strong but never improves and always ends up in trouble” thing that Akane and Kagome have.
Shinobu’s strength is mostly played as a gag in UY, since it’s a comedy,but Akane is introduced as a capable martial artist, and Ranma is a comedy too for the most part, yet 90% of Ranma's plot devices revolves around saving her ass, and furthermore in the last chapter she gets turned in a doll. A complete loss of agency, when she can feel everything happening around her while being stuck in the body of a lifess doll, it was so bad it almost felt like a parody, instead of having her team up finally with Ranma and do some fighting together, like Rumiko Takahashi implied she wanted the two of them to be equals.
While for Kagome it was just so repetitive and boring, she has this badass bow but ends up being kidnapped far more than any other heroine.

>>2321Wait, can we talk about how Akane was absolutely wasted as a character? Skilled martial artist, gets her ass kicked in basically every engagement. Same with Soun and Genma, they're basically useless, the two actually competent fighters are Ranma and fucking Happosai.
