"Ryo Sanada: The Fire Samurai of Benevolence and his Lovely Harem"
Even though Sailor Moon, Son Goku, and Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) are the most popular icons in anime, but my most favorite hero of anime above all else is Ryo Sanada from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors). A fearless, courageous and brave teenage samurai, Ryo won't hesitate to protect his world from evil. And as I stated before, even though I paired up his fellow Ronin Warriors and Dark Warlords with both Inner and Outer Sailor Guardians, Ryo is the one person who is a bit picky when it comes to girls. This is why for the creation of this chart here and chosen the type of girls I would pair Ryo up with.

Personal Notes:
Ryo was the one person I wanted to pair up with a girl that is not Sailor Moon or Mia Koji (Nasuti Yagyu). But it was a hard choice to make and I got so many reasons I want to pair him up with those girls, as long as is not romantic (more on that later). I want Ryo to be involved with my handpicked girls for some crazy, but awesome adventures.
For those from the Dead or Alive series, the only time Ryo pairs up with the other DOA girls is when he goes to Zack Island, mostly on a friendship basis, especially those like Tina, Lisa, Leifang, Hitomi and Kokoro. Christie, on the other hand, though a killer assassin with a killer body, has much respect for Ryo, though she sees him as her enemy. Ayane, despite seeing Ryo as a commoner, has the upmost respect for the Samurai Ninja.
Rachel's involvement with Ryo is based on his friendship and show of respect for Ryu Hayabusa. Same goes for Momiji, who is a shrine maiden, just like Rei Hino aka Sailor Mars.
Rio, who did appear in DOA Paradise, was also on Zack Island, when Ryo took vacation there, giving him some luck and some advice about women.
And now, for the reason for the other girls, almost like one-shot story ideas.
Ryo meeting with Princess Namora of Atlantis almost in the style like how Milo met Kida in Atlantis: The Lost Empire. To be honest, I never knew much about Namora through the Marvel Universe. Through Marvel Mangaverse I have heard of her through the story, Eternity Twilight, where she saved Bruce Banner from drowning and has fallen for him, which was short-lived.
For Nefer-Tina, you already heard the story about how Nefer-Tina falls for Ryo because of her relationship with his Egyptian decendant Kyoseph. That and revealing that Nefer-Tina was a bellydancer for the Pharaoh's harem. Thanks for the inspiration, aoi-ryu.
Yuko's involvement with Ryo is for a Sailor Moon/Ronin Warriors crossover, where both Inner and Outer Sailor Guardians and the Ronin Warriors and Dark Warlords fight against both the Death Busters and King Glames, the main villain from Valis III.
His adventures isn't just bound on Earth, where he fights evil amongst the stars. Either fighting alongside Éclair and her partner, Lumiere against space criminals or end up with misadventures with Lovely Angels Kei and Yuri, and when not fighting, hears Minmay sing while ignoring Faye Valentine's flirting, but in the most comedic kind of way. BTW, both Ronin Warriors and Cowboy Bebop was created by the same group of writers and artists from Sunrise that go by the name, Hajime Yatate. I thought that name was a person, just like Sailor Moon's creator, Naoko Takeuchi, but now I know.
And it is not just space, but also through time, with Time Gal Reika herself, trying to prevent the space/time continuum from falling apart, which was the inspiration for the final arc for the Sailor Moon/Ronin Warriors crossover, involving Sailor Galaxia and the Dark Champion from Eternal Champions.
For Maya Natsume, though I have seen Tenjho Tenge for a short time on the FUSE channel, alongside Ergo Proxy, she is quite a mystery. When you first see her, she looks like a little kid. But when she taps in her Chi, she quickly ages into a beautiful, buxom woman. This is how Ryo feels when meeting Maya for the first time. Awkward! ;P
Speaking of which, the reason for Tohru Honda is because any girl who lives in a house full of people who turn into animals based on the Chinese Zodiac (except for one) is one sweet and brave girl. Tohru is one girl that could keep Ryo grounded and enjoy being normal once in awhile. Did I forget to mention that one of Tohru's friends is a psychic? I will leave that up to you.
As for Mai Valentine, he was just dropping by when he meets her. That and learning how to play Duel Monsters without being distracted by Mai's buxom beauty.
Meeting Kitana involves Ryo and fellow Ronin Warrior Rei Fuan Kento (Shu Rei Fuan) having an adventure in Outworld. Through Kitana's point of view, she reminded Ryo of Liu Kang. That, and showing Kento her beautiful face in the end of the story, proving that she is nothing like her clone, Mileena, who is part Tarkatan.
Morrigan, as beautiful as she is, is the wild card. In his adventures, Ryo has to resist the temptation from women who will use their feminine wilds to seduce men and Morrigan, the lovely succubus, is no exception.
But, in the end of the day, all the girls are great, but the one girl I will pair up Ryo the most is our lovely ninja mermaid princess, Kasumi. They were made for each other. Star-crossed lovers through and through. Every mermaid needs a prince and Ryo fits that description rather well.
Anyway, that is Ryo's Crossover Harem in a nutshell. Hope you like my choices. If you want to do one, feel free to do so. This one is based on my personal choices.
