Soun Tendo Shrine
My Idol 8-)
I've surfed the Web Rings, the Anime
Web Turnpike, and every link I can find, and there are no Soun Tendo
Shrines. So I decided to make one. Soun Tendo is the unsung hero of Ranma
1/2. While Akane's hyperspace is full of Mallets, and Kasumi's has housekeeping
supplies, Soun's must have huge amounts of money. How else could he maintain
the dojo through all the damages that have occurred. 8-) He is so cool
I had to make a list of the reasons...
Reasons that Soun Tendo is one of the Coolest people in Ranma 1/2...
-
He is the only person NOT involved in the love web.
-
He gets to cry more than anyone else.
-
He trained under Happousai need I say more?
-
He flips out at little things (meeting Ramna and the panda).
-
He takes big things in stride (once explained).
-
Only he and Genma get to narrate.
-
He can stand in the rain and not worry about turning into anything.
-
He does a fair amount of hot water dousing.
-
Like almost everyone else, he cops a cheap feel on Ramna.
-
He gets to take a bath with Ryouga.
-
He's smart enough to move out of the way of tables, fists, raging Akane's,
etc.
-
Soun never gets into a fight with someone who can slice steel and shatter
concrete.
-
He doesn't need a job or need to go to school.
-
Soun can tune out the daily fights.
-
Does anyone else read? (Didn't think so)
-
No one wants to hit Soun, (much).
-
He encourages Ranma to sneak into Akane's bedroom.
-
He has long hair and a mustache. (yea!)
-
He just sits around while everyone else does stuff.
-
He learns to stop fighting once he gets his butt kicked. (Akane hit him)
-
He can create haiku, ditties and little songs out of the blue. (Sailor
Ceres)
-
He's got a great singing voice. ("Kin, Kin, Kira, Kira, sun is shining
in my eyes..") (Sailor Ceres)
-
He knows all of the names of his daughters and uses them! Frequently...
(Sailor Seres)
I have yet to meet an Otaku without opinions so mail
me about the list... and Soun lovers all around the world,
remember, it's not the number of shines, it's the love of the fans.
