Talk:A Episode 2: Friendship Battle! Yuga versus Ranma!/@comment-25600444-20180609012134/@comment-8155837-20180609020941

But season one was the worst at character centered drama. The only real drama was with Kiri and they really dragged that one out and because Gao couldn't lose at all in season one some of the things he said were incredibly patronizing or just felt wrong coming from him. It didn't help that for a like eleven-year old he had all of the answers to life in season one which made him preach to all who had the misfortune of meeting him about his lord and savior the Sun Bancho.

I'd say Hundred, DDD, or X were all better character driven seasons and they gave Gao actual character and took away his cheat sheet for life to better effect. Not to mention they give characters who had basically no effect on the plot in the first season and gave them something to do.

That said, Ranma and Yuga are already much more likable to me than Gao at the start because they have personality. I actually believe they are friends unlike Gao and Baku. Another plus for them is that they didn't have advertising show Tasuku as the main character as a fake out before revealing them. Yes, I am still salty about that.
