Action Series Investigations

Fake Creator: Sanami Matoh Publisher: Be X Boy Comics (Seiji Biblos) Summary: Dee Laytner and Randy McLane (Ryo), two New York City detectives, fight crime side by side as they attemt to learn more about themselves, their pasts, and what they mean to each other. Couple(s): Dee & Ryo NEW! Fake Couples Gallery! Status: case closed Conclusions: confirmed (Dee is the aggressor. >^-^<) De-briefing Website: Fake

Dragonball Creator: Akira Toriyama Publisher: Jump Comics Summary: Based on the Chinese Legend of the Monkey King,this is a story about a young boy, Goku, and his life as he fights to find the mystical artifacts known as Dragon Balls and make a wish. Later he finds that he's an alien and spends quite a lot of time fighting those of his race as well as other races. Couple(s): Trunks+Goten, Goku+Piccolo, Gohan+Piccolo, Vegita+Goku, Yamcha+Tenshinhan, Tenshinhan+Chaozu Status: case closed Conclusions: inconclusive, but very *VERY* likely Observations: Goten never has any luck with women (trying to overcompensate, most likely) and ends up single, hanging around with Trunks. So they are always together. Not only this, but while married couples are, for the most part, featured in one of the ending sequences, one of the couples not silhouetted is very openly shown to be Trunks and Goten. Yamcha, curiously, also ends up single and hangs around quite a lot with Tenshinhan. Mysteriously enough, he started out with a deathly fear of women. Misc: There are 42 manga volumes, I believe, of Dragonball, and well over two hundred episodes of the anime. Plus movies out the ear.:) Investigation provided by: Special Agent Hushityo De-Briefing Site: please see Anipike

Ranma 1/2 Creator: Takahashi Rumiko Publisher: Shonen Sunday Summary: Poor Ranma Saotome...he fell in a cursed spring in China and was doomed to spend the rest of his life transforming into a girl when hit with cold water. Fortunately, he could turn back with an application of hot water. This whole series is populated with other cast members plagued by these curses and stranger idiosyncrasies (in typical wacky Takahashi fashion). Couple(s): Ranma+Ryouga, Ranma+Kuno, Ryouga+Mousse, Ranma+Tarou,   Ryouga+Tarou, Tsubasa+Ranma, Tsubasa+Konatsu, Konatsu+Ranma, Kuno+Sasuke (eww), Ranma+Ranma (long story) Status: case closed Conclusions: yes and no... (see observations) Observations: Activity is confirmed, at least in several ways. In one story Ranma actually does fall in love with Ryouga and says as much. It is intimated that the tragedy at the end of that story is that Ryouga may actually return it in some way (oddly enough)...the others are sort of iffy; Ranma comes on to Kuno in girl-type form frequently, to get favors, and Ryouga often teams up with Mousse. Tarou and the others is pure speculation, but they seem to be somewhat popular with some fans ofthe series. Sasuke kind of obviously worships Kuno, and Kuno is in love with Ranma's female form but seems to shut off the fact that he has seen Ranma transform into it numerous times. Misc: 38 volume manga series, OAV's, Movies, T.V. series... Takahashi-san is also the creator of Maison Ikkoku, Inu-Yasha, Urusei Yatsura, the Mermaid sagas, and the Rumic World series Investigation provided by: Special Agent Hushityo De-Briefing Site: please see Anipike
