Episode 51

Such Sweet Sorrow (eng) / Dreaming Power is Our Future (jap) / Power of Dreams (D)

This episode is probably the biggest Ryuki evidence in the show!

Tamers just can't defeat the big blue-red D-Reaper. Ryo has an idea. He asks Rika/Sakuyamon to give all her powers to Justimon's blade. That'd make him stronger and he could defeat the monster. Rika thinks he's crazy, that it's too dangerous to do that (he could die). Ryo says that this was their only chance and begs her to listen to him. She struggles but she does it anyway. And Ryo survives. :p

The dubbed version is a little bit more Ryuki than german one. In dubs there are some names they call each other, that's really cute. <3
1.) Rika calls him a headshot because he could die.
2.) Ryo calls her a pumpkin /Well then will be just one person less to poke fun of you, right pumpkin?/ -> this is probably the biggest Ryuki evidence but it's sadly just in dubs. :(
3.) Rika calls him a big dork because she thinks he only does this to impress her.

So, Ryo is willing to take the risk to defeat the monster even if he could die doing that. Rika is concirned about him, she doesn't want him to die. Dubs are full of super sweet Ryuki evidence, german sadly not that much! :( But still, in german she calls him a dare-devil because none of them is so brave as him. And Ryo responses to that /You gave me a compliment??/. It's cute too.

Evil Justimon destroys any further Ryuki moments by saying /C'mon, Sakuyamon! It's now or never!/ (in german it's Sakuyamon who says /Should I do it, Rika?/, Justimon doesn't say anything). <_<

And then - the BIGGEST evidence of all! Rika says that she trusted Ryo and that he knew what he was doing. And she doesn't hold her TEARS anymore. When did Rika ever cry for anyone else but Renamon??! If this isn't an evidence than just shoot me! Rika cared for Ryo, that's why she cried, she didn't want him to get killed. She cries even in the original version, so you can't say there's no Ryuki evidence in the original!

Even though it doesn't seem fair that Ryo didn't kill the monster, it was just to strong. But if we think again, that's a good thing! If Ryo DIDN'T kill the D-Reaper, why the heck then this scene?! It was like a part to fill the episode, it wasn't a solution to their problem! If Ryo did kill him, that would mean that the thing between him and Rika was made because they had to kill the monster some how. But since he didn't kill the monster, the Ryuki scene could only mean RYUKI. It was made to show how much they care for each other or how Rika's feeling to Ryo isn't just annoyance but love too (for non-Ryuki fans - it could mean a friends' love too >:P). Rika showed her other side to Ryo not to Takato or Henry. Remember that episode where Takato was in grave danger because Beelzemon was shooting at him? It was a certain death if it wasn't for Guilmon. Rika DIDN'T cry there, she was just yelling his name with all the others. So which evdence is stronger, huh? Rika yelling or Rika CRYING? It's not like Rika is a crybaby. It'd be strange if Takato cried for Ryo but it wouldn't be something that doesn't go with Takato's character. So don't you say Rika's tears didn't mean anything!

EVIDENCE ALL TOGETHER:
- Rika doesn't want to give Ryo her powers because she doesn't want him to get hurt.
- Ryo wants to do this to a) defeat the monster; b) impress Rika.
- Ryo calls Rika a pumpkin (dubs).
- Rika is impressed by his action (yes she is!).
- Rika cries!!
- Ryo isn't successful - why this scene if not as the only chance to defeat the D-Reaper?
