I didn't bother writing <snip> a bunch of times. As much as I would've liked
Trigun to have Wolfwood as the main hero, it just didn't work out that way. The
main reason why Wolfwood ended up with MIlly is because the people that created
Trigun only thought to introduce TWO permanent female characters.

And if Akito wanted to fall for a Rei-like character in Nadesico...WHY DIDN'T
HE JUST FALL FOR RURI!?!? I'm guessing you haven't seen the movie because
that's explained a little. I might've gotten a really bad fansub, but I'm
pretty sure Ruri did have a thing for Akito in the series according the movie.
Hikaru (red-head with glasses) also is just another pilot with a major otaku
complex. Megumi just doesn't fit well with Akito, and Yurika and Akito have
this whole prince and damsel in distress thing going on...Well, yeah. If Akito
wanted to fall for a Misato character he'd just have fell for Minato. If he
wanted to fall for a Ritsuko, he'd be chasing Ines around. You're right about
the whole Ryoko and Asuka thing though, but I don't think Yurika has any
character relation in Eva.
