Natsuru undergoes a personality change like Akane when making the Kampfer transformation.
Honestly, at least in the anime there are times that Natsuru acts a bit too stereotypically feminine when in female form. Like worrying about people looking up her skirt while going up the stairs in episode 1. No one notices it because it's relatively subtle compared to the physical transformation.
Sakura is a Moderator.
And she gave Natsuru the messenger deliberately. She liked Natsuru but she's gay, so she decided to solve the problem by making him a girl. The rest is just keeping up the Masquerade.
Natsuru grows a variant of the Tohno Gland when transformed.
It gives off pheromones, much like Shiki. It's different in that it not only attracts females, but also their forces their inner FanGirl to spontaneously sprout and glomp her/be in a very close vicinity. No Sense of Personal Space close. Rape attempts are also an effect.
The story is a satire of the Magical Girl genre.
Think about it: the Evil Overlord (Shizuru, though it may change later) is just teasing the hero For the Evulz and succeeding to a degree instead of going overboard with world domination plots and failing. The love interests are all girls instead of feminine guys. The talking animal/stuffed doll companion is not cute, cuddly, or heart-warming at all. Don't forget the henshin sequence where not only Natsuru's body changes into a girl, but his school uniform inexplicably changes along with it.
Sakura is a Manchurian Agent controlled by the Moderators.
She is ordered to make the Messengers and give them to prospective Kämpfers. She carries out her orders subconsciously, unaware of what she's really doing. Also, she has a Weirdness Censor memory implant, which makes her unable to see the similarities between ♂Natsuru and ♀Natsuru, and unable to notice the Kämpfers' bracelet.
The White Kampfers weren't originally part of the plan.
The way I imagine it, the whole Red vs. Blue thing was set up for the personal amusement of the Moderators. But then Shizuku got involved, and negotiated a truce between the two sides so they could figure out what was behind it all. Cue the Moderators throwing popcorn at their TV screens and shouting "BOOOOO! This sucks! When are they going to fight?", necessitating the introduction of the White side.
Akane is Blind Without 'Em in Kampfer form.
As good an explanation for her (lack of) marksmanship as any. She just does this to avoid being presumed as weak during battle.
Dead Kampfers became Messengers.
Episode 8's eyecatch shows a girl with black bunny ears and the voice of Seppuku Kurousagi. Maybe the vanquished Kampfers didn't really disappear from the world but cursed into being CreepyDolls instead.
Guess we can just come out and say it, Kaede is the secret Big Bad/moderator and has just kept Obfuscating Stupidity until her Evil Plan was complete(episode 9 is when it is completed and now she and the White Kampfers go on the move)and the real motive behind the Kampfers will be revealed now.
I'm guessing Ancient Conspiracy myself.
The three head members of the student council are Mods.
Because someone has to be, and we haven't seen them in a while...
Sakura is a reality warper.
She once said that the Burnt Lion looks very similar to a drawing she once made. Maybe she subconsciously has some reality warping power, although not quite on Haruhi's level. Following that, all this happen because...
Deep inside, she wants a great lesbian harem.
Moderators(or whatever Sakura is) can use all three of Gewehr, Zauber and Schwert.
Not quite a mass guessing as this is actually implied in the anime. To be specific, the handgun is the Gewehr, the katana is the Schwert, and the hypnotism is the Zauber.
Natsuru is actually THE most well-informed character in the whole series.
It isn't that he's stupid. Far from it. In fact, he's the most fiendishly clever character in the show. Look at the situation the girls have put him in. He has three beautiful girls vying for his affection, all of which can transform into hotter and more powerful forms at will and each with their own unique weapon they could use to kick his tail with. If he chooses one of them, the other two could team up and kill him and the third girl. So what does he do? He launches a Xanatos Gambit to ignore all three and pretend to like Kaede. Because of this one of two things will happen: either a) the girls will fight it out amongst themselves and he'll get the victor, or b) the girls will decide on a Tenchi Solution and he'll get all of them. Either way, he wins.
This show is an alternate-universe Ranma 1/2
Not all Kampfers are girls, just the ones Sakura chooses
It's never made quite clear what Sakura is, so it's not unreasonable to believe that she is not, in fact, a Moderator, but only some sort of Observer or other agent who's job is to deliver Messengers and thus choose and oversee the Kampfers in a certain area. Other Observers in other places (Germany?) have different methods of choosing their Kampfers, and different standards. Sakura only sticks to women because she is a Psycho Lesbian.
