EPISODE 39 - Song of Sakuyamon
We all know which Ryuki scene was going on in this episode! ;D Rika wanted to find Calumon and went to that precipe with Renamon. No one - but RYO - tried to stop her and since she didn't stop, he went after her. They weren't together down there, Rika was with Renamon and Ryo with Cyberdramon (no one knows where, he just showed up when necessary). Rika was really unsecure that day and she almost got killed by a bubble but Renamon saved her. Then she finally found Calumon and - again - she was almost killed by a bubble! And it wasn't Renamon who saved her, it was Ryo. So a) why didn't Renamon save her again? and b) why did the bubble attack again? c) why didn't Rika try to escape and just turned away from the bubble? Was it because Ryo just HAD to pull her in that cave, where he was hiding? I know my points in this episode are really weak but still .. why didn't someone else follow her? It's not like Rika and Ryo amused us down there (maybe in dub, I don't know). And why didn't anyone else tried to follow her?? If it wasn't meant to be anything, they could just all go down there or at least tried to stop her from going. In dubs Rika even mentions that - Ryo and her were the only ones in danger, the others were just hanging of Azulongmon's beard!
EPISODE 40 - Janyu's arc
Rika went to get Impmon. Janyu's arc came and they were (almost) all worried about Rika and if she's going to come back in time. Takato didn't want to leave without her (he would wait for everyone!! :O) and when Terriermon said that it would be a good idea to go search for Rika, Ryo (not Henry) went to get her. Why is that? Why was it necessary to go after Rika? Digimon is a simple anime, I'm pretty sure that the producers didn't even think about leaving Rika in the Digiworld and neither did fans! We all knew she was going to come back, so why send someone - RYO - to get her. They didn't come back any sooner because of that. Maybe something could have happened to her but that would just be so not-digimon like (imo) ... And it was Ryo who went to get her and I'm so sorry that we can't see how they met and what they talked about that time!
And one more thing in this episode ..! In the arc Rika and Ryo had a super cute conversation (dubs ...) and Henry gave them a really suspicious smile when they giggled. But more about this love triangle stuff somewhere else!
EPISODE 51 - Such Sweet Sorrow
This is the only episode that you can't say I'm wrong! I wrote about this already in evidence but it won't hurt anyone if I write it again.
Rika and Ryo were fighting against a red-blue D-Reaper and just couldn't defeat it. Suddenly Ryo (as Justimon) asked Sakuyamon to lend him his powers so that he could kill the beast. Rika was shocked about Ryo's idea and she didn't want to do it. Then there were the cutest dialogues between them (in dubs) and a little less cute in original ... and then she decided to give him the powers, even though that could hurt him. And she cried (!!!!) before she gave him Sakuyamon's powers. And THEN! Ryo got all the powers (after a few shock therapies) and attacked the beast. He cut him in two and, yaay, the beast was dead! Oh no, wait a minute, the beast recovered itself and started to scream!! And then the holy four Digimon pulled her into a hole where everything ended. The important thing here is that Ryo DIDN'T kill the beast with his plan. So why the hell did they make this scene??! For Ryuki of course!! Or at least to show that Rika has a softer side too - that she never showed to anyone else but Renamon and RYO!! Even anti-Ryuki fans can't disagree with me at this point! Or can they ...?
