Ahaha, that was my first choice. :)

So my second has to be.... Kenren!

[tj_dragonblade]

Why I like them: There's a lot to like about Kenren. He's just the right balance of fake Bad Boy facade and Big Brother heart; he's got irrepressible spirit and he's going to do what strikes him as The Right Thing, regardless of personal consequence.

Why I don’t: ...Buh. Hard to come up with an answer, but. I think he's got a little too much inherent 'coolness' to ever be my favorite? If I'm making sense. He seems like he's 'designed' to be a popular/favorite character? Which usually means I tend to be slightly more...dismissive, to characters with that 'feel' about them. I don't know. I do like him. Plenty. But he doesn't hit enough of the right buttons in the right combination to reach 'favorite'.

Favorite episode/scene: ...Possibly the pinky-swear. Possibly the resignation of his commission when they turn Goujun loose. Or possibly his death scene.

Favorite line: *points at 'been a long time' disclaimer on Goujun answer* Memory is not the best. But his dying speech stands out as particularly deep-in-a-Kenren-way and rather moving. And/or his lines about watching the way Nataku behaves hurting more than his punch ever could, and that bringing his concerns to Goujun wouldn't have made any difference in Nataku's treatment - those lines that show the true colors underneath the 'rambunctious general' surface and his grasp of how things really are.

Favorite outfit: He's only really got the one. But it is pretty sexy. ♥

OTP: KenTen. ♥ They have such an Old-Married-Couple vibe about them, it's really hard not to ship them.

Non-romantic OTP: I love his big-brotherliness with Goku.

Headcanon: ...Uh. Wow. Do I have any? *wracks brain* Um, anything in Tenpou's personality that Kenren perceives as stuffy/boring/overly-intellectual-like, he blames on Goujun's influence.

Unpopular opinion: I don't actually think he pairs with Goujun very well, not without Tenpou in the mix for balance.

A wish for them: It would have been nice if Goujun had realized/acknowledged his value and true character while he was still alive.

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen for them: ...Getting reincarnated into a life where he never encounters Tenpou's reinc would suck for him, I think.

5 words to best describe them: Brash. Big-hearted. Loyal. Integrity. Memorable.

My nickname for them: Don't have one. I mean, he's got canon nicknames but I've never called him anything but Kenren.
