#retasu x ryou

[wotcherangie]

“But a MERMAID has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 🌊

✨ (PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENT) I started this fan art about an year ago, before TMMN finale aired, hoping for a scenario like ep. 41 in the old TMM anime for Retasu’s Mew Aqua episode (BTW I still love how that episode was written in the end, her Aqua Rod scene is one of the best). But then I was overbeared with other projects, work, personal struggle and then… TMMN ended and we have no news since then, so I was too sad to continue this fanart, once filled with hope and enthusiasm.

But the other day, a dear fellow Ryoutasu shipper - with whom I shared lots of nice chat and amazing moments - saw my Arcane AU artwork and wips and commissioned me to finish this old drawing of mine straight away.

Since this was not a commission but a personal work I absolute refused to be payed, but she gave me the right motivation to finish this one. As well as ALL OF YOU: the amount of enthusiasm I received from my latest posts and artworks preview (I see you Gurple fans, I LOVE your enthusiasm as well) made me want to jump back in this world once again.

So I wanted to dedicate this artwork not only to this dear friend who supported me but also to all the people who keep support my personal project, a personal project that makes me feel happy to work and motivates me so much!

Please keep follow me for more artworks of my TMM x Arcane AU, I have so much stuff coming, I promise you all it will be worth the wait! Thanks 💚

Ryoutasu 💛💚

Oh god, the Ryoutasu was so strong.

And he never actually said no...

[multifandomcurse]

About Lettuce , Pie and Ryou... An idea...

So... Is there any fanfic Lettuce X Ryou // Lettuce X Pie but:

With Ryou being jealous about Lettuce spending time with Pie.

Ryou is like "I don't have time for a relationship but... I don't trust that aliens and seeing Lettuce with Pie, makes me feel kinda angry"

By the other hand, even though the war between aliens and humans is over, Pie can't understand why Kish and Tart are like "Ichigo Ichigo Ichigo " or "Pudin, Pudin, Pudin", also he can't stop thinking about that TMM who fight against him and made him doubt about his abilities. He don't even know what to do with the fact that now, his race is living on earth and are living normal lives. How is to live like a human, with a calm and normal life? He don't trust anyone, and he doesn't want to ask Kish or Tart, so he started to talk with Lettuce.

All the time when her shift finished, she meets with Pie and go outside, walking around Tokyo and show him that life as a human are not that bad.

ALL OF THIS ✨💚

The future is to be written and you can be happy being in love, being a couple, being single or just friend, it doesn’t matter and it doesn’t change the power of your feelings and who you are in the first place.

I am so happy that the ending gave hints both for Pietasu and Ryoutasu as it should be, cause she is stronger, she is happy and confident and this is all that matters… shipping is fun but it should be a side aspect of a character not her or his solo purpose (porpoise pun not intended).

I will ship Ryoutasu even harder now that I have got even more material to dream on and I will always love Pietasu as well cause of its amazing potential 💛💚💜

Im glad lettuce ended up with no one showing its ok to be by yourself and still discover you and be happy

Absolutely agree anon! While I may have now become a shipper of her with Ryo (it's mainly because I want Lettuce to be happy, ironically that's why I shipped Ichisaya in 2002 and now I'm oh my god perfect couple) anyway Lettuce confessing was a huge show of confidence and she can end up with anyone now, or be alone! She's on her own path too and has great friends in Ryo and Pai as the ending showed

“When I first got into Tokyo Mew Mew Power, I was never too big of a fan of Ichigo x Masaya, Retasu x Ryou, and Minto x Zakuro. Don't get me wrong, they're still cute and plausible, but they didn't really click with me as Ichigo x Minto and Retasu x Masaya did! In fact, it's kind of a bummer that Ichigo and Minto didn't get more screen time together and bonding.”

[thefangirlrant]

After our Minto/Zakuro break, it seems the boy shipping pattern to the episodes has continued; episode 7 was Aoyama focused, and it looks like the next one will switch to Ryou. “Romance on the High Seas!” We’re getting the cruise chapter! 🤩 Now the preview image at the end of episode 7 showed Retasu and Ryou, which is in reference to these scenes in the manga:

This is really all we get of this ship in the manga, but the old anime expanded it further, and I have a feeling TMMN will do the same. However, I would like to remind everyone this is not the only ship floating out in the ocean in this chapter, because this also happens:

Oh yeah! 😍 Romance on the high seas indeed, that’s the cruise I’ll be sailing on, Ichiryou all the way!!!! I hope they lay on the attraction real thick, because like I’ve said before, I want to be devastated when this titanic goes down, stringed quartette and all (I’m just a masochist that way 😆) !

I’m also really looking forward to seeing the girls in their formal attire:

Almost as excited as seeing Ryou in his (almost)! 😍

[wotcherangie]

Love @berrychanx analysis cause are so well done and speaks to anyone, looking at a scene from different points of view and talking about lots of possibilities

I am a Ryoutasu shipper myself BUT (and I am kinda tired of saying this every time) that is not the main goal of my hope and dreams for TMMN and Retasu in this reboot: what I hope is to have more character development, and if this means Retasu having a crush on Ryou, sharing a bond with Pie or growing thanks to the friendship she shares with all the girls… i am here for all of this.

Yeah, we get that some romance with Ryou is implied, at least from Retasu’s point of view, and yeah that is what makes us shippers happy

But as Berry said it also could be that all these moments will help her growth so, I am here for this, nothing else!

(Yes of course I have died multiple times because of that scene… that’s not the point 😏)

Cannot wait to discover more about Retasu and everyone’s character development in this season… mermaid earrings included!

TMMN - Lettuce x Ryou? Analysis

I’VE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT THIS SCENE!! BUT IT ALWAYS POPS UP ON MY FEED… I want the story to develop some more,specially on Ryou’s character….but ok Let me analyse this two from episode 8 interactions to here.

(Putting my bias aside) The director in a interview said he, ikumi and the team planned on developing the characters and make them overcome their own obstacles, Ichigo and Minto is a goal in life, Zakuro is to surprass herself, Purin we still don’t know (could be related to her family) and Lettuce clearly is overcoming her shyness and insercurities - Even the S2 Ending song mentions this  “Don’t be shy, be proud of yourself”

Lettuce already had it in herself to change, she just had some words of encouragmenet and to believe.

After the events of episode 8 she smiles a lot more

Notice how ryou is even surprised with this?

Silly girl

Not the first time he complited her

she really needs some reinforcement in her life >3<

I believe Ryou said this as words of encouragment to Lettuce, like he would do to any other, specially Ichigo if she was in the same situation.

Of course … Lettuce can intrepert this in another way,

We hear her heartbeat in episode 8. I’m not the character, nor part of the team so idk which way they’re going. but… Could be A) She’s anxious at his words, which made her pulse and heartbeat rise, she never thought someone would be dependable of her and say such positive words

B) She’s starting to fall in love with him

Her line in the trailer saying she’s doing it for love, is very suspicious Could be she’s in love with someone or she finally she has some self love… But who gave her those earings? All of this can only be answered with the series development, whatever happens i’m super excited to witness

Kiss him!

[rizumuj]

SHIRETASU SHIRETASU SHIRETASU!!!!!!

[hebeandersen]

Hot takes: we never see Retasu and Pai sharing the same screen in the anime because it is all too centered around Ichigo's love square.

[xmentallydisturbedllamax]

I just wanted to formally notify everyone that if I don't finally get Ryou x Retasu, and Minto x Zakuro in this new reboot, like I always deserved, I will literally unalive myself. Thank you for listening.

[brickercupmasterx3]

how do you like the rebooted tokyo mew mew compared to the classic tokyo mew mew anime? still got any of the same ships you used to like ryou x mint?

I like it. Some of the differences, like Minto having been the first Mew Mew is quite interesting. Though, I will be honest and say I preferred the transformation sequence(s)/outfits (save for Mint, because hers was so much plainer in the OG) of the original, it seemed better and more fun than whatever we have going on now. The art style is also prettier in my opinion. I do like that we do get to see insight on the other mews, and that we get to learn more about them. I am disappointed that we don't get to see Mint and her love for ballet, it was honestly one of my favorite things about her in the OG. Watching her dance, but in the new one? It looks like she has other interests. Which isn't necessarily bad, I just miss that side. (I will also give the series a plus for letting her have a better relationship with her brother than she had in the original.)

Ryou x Mint will always be my main ship. There's no question about it. I love my rich snob ship and I always will. ❤️ As for other ships? In this new one, I'm really loving the Masaya x Ichigo ship development. It's really adorable, and I think that they're really good for one another. They might be my second favorite ship in the reboot. As for the other ships? Well?

Pudding x Taruto? Still not my cup of tea. Pai x Retasu? Piques my interest, but we'll see how it goes. Keiichiro x Zakuro? Give me moments between them, and I'll ship them. Kisshu x Ichigo? As it stands right now, it doesn't do much for me. (I prefer them in the OG) I actually started to like them better in later seasons, so probably later on, I may get back on the Kisshigo train. Ryou x Retasu? They're an okay ship. Retasu's crush is adorable as it stands, but with Ryou being uninterested and having his eyes on Ichigo, I don't really see it working. Ryou x Ichigo? Still my biggest NOTP ship. I will NEVER like these two. Ryou's crush on her bothers me so much. He acts like a jerk to her one time, then is all flirty? Uhh... You're giving her mixed signals... and the fact that he seems to have it out for Masaya due to his jealousy just makes things worst! She likes Masaya. That's it. And last ship I want to talk about: Minto x Zakuro? I'm really enjoying the heck out of their dynamic, but in a sisterly type way. I could NEVER ship these two, because the start is always so one-sided. Minto idolizes Zakuro, and Zakuro rejects her hard. And it doesn't matter how cute of a moment they have after Zakuro gives them all a chance. Damage was done. And even if Minto doesn't call her "Big sister/Onee-sama" in this one, shipping them never felt right. I will say I love their dynamic in the reboot so much, they're definitely my favorite all-time friendship ship. (I have left out some ships, because I feel like these are the more popular ones, but feel free to ask about others if you so wish to.)

[berrychanx]

I’m a Lettuce x Shirogane shipper and a Lettuce x Pie shipper too. but this post ain’t about that (KINDA), Sometimes I like to analyze the couples dynamics.

Episode 19 Ryou gives some words of encouragement to Lettuce <3 at this point It's something any friend would do ...Later in episode 34 he gives her some encourage once again.

(He makes her more confident, she softens him up, they work well together)

Episode 41 - While Lettuce can breathe underwater in her Mew form, Shirogane starts to drown. She tries to save him, but the Chimera Animal gets in her way. The Chimera Animal grabs Shirogane and makes off with him.she’s able to spot Shirogane under the water by catching a glimpse of the Mew Aqua on his necklace, but Pai stops her from saving him. She tries to appeal to his heart, but he refuses to listen. She avoids his attacks and rushes towards Shirogane. Her body reacts to the Mew Aqua and she becomes a mermaid again.She kisses Shirogane to transfer some of the Mew Aqua’s power to him to help save his life.

(altough i love this episode I’ve never seen her actions as romantic) .

The kiss was a way of transferring air to his lungs, her deep feelings of wanting to save him resonated with the mew aqua. Back at the surface she’s glad he didn’t died.

Episode 45 - She blushes when he enters the room because...the kiss scene is still fresh in her memory ... although Ryou doesn’t know a thing. Yes her thinking about giving Shirogane chocolate could be a hint of something ... but for now I’m just analyzing Lettuce shy personality

Episode 49

This whole cake idea was set up by Keiichiro, as a way to join the two? Probably,... Yes Lettuce is blushing but  her entire personality is the one of a shy girl ... I’m shy... I would blush too .. If i had to ask a boy if he wanted to share the last piece of cake with me ... at a lonely cafe during sunset .... THAT’S SO EMBARRASSING.

Welp ... Alien Alert! Time to fight ... since she’s the only one left there with the at the cafe ... it makes sense that she tells her senpai’s that she’s leaving for battle.

Episode 51 - She was the only one to notice Ryou was in danger? She was also the one to act faster and save him, risking her life, using herself as a shield to block Shirogane from an attack .

Her reactions could be intrerpeted as love or simply as a shy girl interacting with a Bishounen or even both. I’m curious to see how Tokyo Mew Mew New will handle the “juice scene” aka Ryou advice to Lettuce during the ship episode

[hikayagami]

I am ridiculously hyped for the new TMM anime, TMM was my very first magical girl series and I can't wait! I only have one question. How gay was Minto for Zakuro in the manga because I hope there is no change there. I loved how thirsty MInto was--

Just like the question I answered regarding Ryou x Retasu, if the reboot follows the manga closely, prepare for even less romantic interaction with the other characters. Bu-ling does say that Minto “loves” Zakuro when she was first fangirling about her in volume 2, but that and the hugs she gives her were the most we ever got out of the manga.

Of course, we don’t know if it’ll be a page for page adaptation or of they’ll expand on things.
