Think about this: I have only fallen in love with guys from anime. Only anime cuties. Only! Okay, once a character in a movie, but I’ve known of Aragorn since Dad read me and my brother The Lord of the Rings when we were in 2nd grade. And all of them have been mysterious.
If you want to talk mysterious, talk Shadii of Yu-Gi-Oh!. He’s another anime man that I’ve fallen in love with, and for a very good reason. I’ve even made a clay model of him! *pats its head* He is the most mysterious, closemouthed guy on Yu-Gi-Oh!! He’s not the hottest, or the cutest, those titles belong to Yami Bakura and Bakura respectively. And he’s certainly not adorable, that is Mokuba’s job, with his loveable adoration of “big brother Seto.” Oh, but Shadii’s wonderful. Example of how much I love him: I’ve gone for what seems like months with out any new Shadii input, and I’m still obsessed with him! How’s that for craziness! If any of you are interested there are two Shadii shrines on the net, Shadi’s Slightly Sidetracked Sennen Shrine and Behind My Eyes and they can tell you just how great he is, though Behind My Eyes is more… factual if only for the fact that the Sennen Shrine is… slightly sidetracked. ^^;;;
Oh, and if you’ve read the beginning of the manga, you might see why I see him as nice to the people not related to his job. I mean, look at him the first time Yugi talks to him, before he knows he’s a Sennen Item holder. He’s nice, polite, and even calls Yugi a “good little boy.” Yugi, of course gets indignant because he’s in High School, but he’s so short Shadii couldn’t infer that. Now, I know that’s not much evidence for his capability for niceness, but I take it anyway.
Okay, enough about Shadii and on to my history of anime guys. First love: Ryo Akiyama of Digimon Tamers. I’d heard about him before this, and was curious. He appeared in a surprising manner (especially to the people on the show), as the only person who had beaten tough girl Rika in the digimon card game and then he goes and saves her! Oh and when he smiled… To bad Rika didn’t appreciate it. *he he*
Next was Raven of Zoids. I first saw him in the episode in Guardian Force where he was in a trance-like state. In fact that was my first episode of Zoids ever! Oh the mystery. Who was he? What was that black robot-creature following him around? What was his relation to the two people watching him? And did this guy named Van know him from before? I so wanted to know! I found out the answers, and it became my favorite show for a while. I also still think that his descendent Vega Obscura (well, most people think he’s Raven descendent, including me) is the cutest kid in all seasons of the show!
Then it was Kurama of Yu Yu Hakasho. Or the Fox Boy, as I still think of him. He was once a demon thief known of Yoko Kurama, but in a desperate act was reborn as the human boy Suichi. Eventually he learned to transform back and forth between these two forms. Both are handsome beyond belief. (I call this sort of person a “double person.”
The next one is also a double person. His name is Bakura and he’s from Yu-Gi-Oh!. I first saw him on the episode where he, Yugi, Téa, and Honda (I call him Honda because I never can remember his dub name) were searching for Joey underground and Joey was trying to battle Bonz’s zombie monsters. Yea, the episode where the main gang gets “attacked” by skeletons. Lol. Funny! Anyway, he was just so cute that I fell in love with him then and there. His yami took a bit longer, however. I first pictured him as a terrifyingly evil person, but despite myself I began to look at his handsomeness. Or hotness, if you like to think of it that way.
I fell in love with Shadii the same time that I found the next one on the list, Android #16. That was when I bought my first Shonen Jump, when I was on vacation down in Cape Cod. I first saw them in Shonen Jump #8! (Somewhere in that trip, the front cover fell off. I’m gonna frame it someday.) Anyway, he was mysterious, a must have, and for a long while, I wrote on one of my classroom’s blackboard, “16 is the coolest android ever!” And he is.
The next was GT Trunks! I do prefer him to his time traveler counterpart. Future Trunks is just too angry for my tastes. Plus, there was a bit of mystery in just how he would be different from Future Trunks. Both of them are very handsome, but personality wise, I go with GT Trunxie. I first fell in love with him in the episode where he tells Pan and Goku about the plan he and Giru worked out. He was so smart! Ah, but that love has faded.
And that’s about it, I’m afraid. Well, that’s excepting my crushes, the two Goku and Vegeta fusions, for example.
Phew, that took a while.
