History WMG / Kampfer

#3 He is the only male Kampfer and was chosen because he has a great potential for it. But WHY does he have such potential. It is possible that unlike the other Kampfers he did not have to granted power, but simply had his power unlocked. Heck it could be that the boy side is actually a seal/disguise for his true self, but having lived this way for as long as he can remember Natsuru simply doesn't realize it.

Wait here me out on this one. Assuming burnt alive lion was telling the truth that the Kampfer's are representatives of two planets. He could be lying, but I prefer to believe that he just only revealed PART of the truth. Then it is possible Natsuru was a member of a high ranking family sent away for Naturu's safe keeping. Facts in favor.
#1: He is not only a Zauber user, the rarest type of Kampfer but can use it without an artifact right fromm the start,. Something said to be practically unheard of.

Episode 8's eyecatch shows a girl with black [[{{UnusualEars}} bunny ears]] and the voice of [[{{YukariTamura}} Seppuku Kurousagi]]. Maybe the vanquished Kämpfers didn't really disappear from the world but cursed into being [[{{Creepy Doll}} CreepyDolls]] instead.

[[WMG:Natsuru undergoes a personality change like Akane when making the Kampfer transformation.]]

** Or the behavioral changes are designed to make the Kampfers in question more receptive to participating. Akane wasn't agressive enough to take part, so they give her agression. Natsuru lacks the feminine instincts to be undercover, so they give him those instincts- and remove enough IQ points that he doesn't notice the change, or think through the possibilities or implications of anything, like what he could do with a harem like that- something that if he ''did'' notice, he would pay far more attention to than to the competition. It didn't ''work'', but you can see the reasoning.

[[WMG:The White Kampfers weren't originally part of the plan.]]

[[WMG:Akane is BlindWithoutEm in Kampfer form.]]

[[WMG:Dead Kampfers became Messengers.]]

[[WMG:Guess we can just come out and say it, Kaede is the secret BigBad/moderator and has just kept ObfuscatingStupidity until her EvilPlan 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.]]

* Maybe we haven't and maybe we have. See any resemblance to the White Kampfers?

* I'm thinking there is no such things as Moderators and that the whole Red vs Blue Kampfer thing is just something that Kaeda has created subconsciously as a child. I imagine she saw some magical girl show back then, ended up maybe being the victim of some sort of trauma and then created her own little fantasy world with some latent esper powers. So everything that happens in the manga is just the cause and effect of the disturbed wishes of a traumatized child. Add Natsuru to the mix, say she really did like him as a child, but since he was a boy and perhaps her trauma stemmed from something some boys did to her? Then she had to make him a girl. ect ect ect...

* If the Kampfer form is someone fitting to her tastes, she will keep her. Otherwise, she will let them continue the fight and let them kill each other.

* The White Kampfer are recruited to fix this situation, and they seems VERY loyal to her.

* This one has quite a bit of weight behind it, since Sakura states outright that Natsuru is in love with the three. And apparently that will cause the end of the war she's presiding over. Maybe because the babies of two Kampfers are super-powered? Who knows.

[[WMG: 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 PsychoLesbian.

* The reason Natsuru has been so dense to other girls than Kaede is because Kaede had been using mild hypnosis on him since long before he became a Kampfer to prep him for his eventual transformation via her manipulations. The reason he's starting to notice other (and develop feelings for) other girls is because she had stopped the hypnotizing him cause she thought it would be sufficient. Which of course went down the drain after she noticed her attempts at hooking up with female!Natsuru weren't going as planned so she started getting aggressive again.

* Which is why "she" is always lusting over pretty young girls, hates men, and tries to get Natsuru to stay in his female form. The "cute" persona she wears in public is either "her" masquerade, or "she" is acting up in the habits of her old otaku cosplaying games. The ManipulativeBitch side is "her" real personality. "Her" ambition is to build a huge harem, and plans to accomplish this with "her" new-acquired power by doing this whole "Kampfer" thing, turning everyone into pretty girls and "her" possessions.

It isn't that he's stupid. Far from it. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation 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 XanatosGambit 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 [[TenchiSolution Tenchi Solution]] and he'll get all of them. Either way, he wins.

* In both shows the protagonist is an ordinary guy [[GenderBender who turns into a girl]] at the worst possible times. He meets a girl named Akane who alternates from shy and calm to rude and bitchy (Of course, they have a little SlapSlapKiss). Natsuru/Ranma also manages to get an UnwantedHarem of guys and girls, even though he is still oblivious to [[TenchiSolution other solutions]]. Several characters are either innocent characters to only seem innocent or animals who have human-like tendencies. Natsuru/Ranma doesn't even [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman test out her body]]. Finally, both shows, although seeming like action with slight comedy at first glance, condescend into comedy with slight action. '''It makes too much sense.'''

* Natsuru can hardly called very manly even when male. In fact girl-type Natsuru is so weak about anything sexual that she can't even look at her semi-nude own body in the mirror.

* It follows that, particularly in the anime, one of the elements of the personality change is the subtraction of about forty IQ points.
** UnfortunateImplications, then?

As good an explanation for her [[{{ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy}} (lack of)]] marksmanship as any. She just do this to avoid being presumed as weak during battle.
