Okay I am going to respond to this just once, so all the asks and comments about this topic will be ignored from now on.
Everyone is free to think, like and ship whatever they want, canon or fanon is there to make people happy, and everyone should respect each other opinions.
Now, I am going to be brutally honest here.
If we follow what you two say, that means Ryu is coded as bisexual, since she is attracted to women and men.
Ryu never had a positive male view in her life, Ataru, Mendou and her classmates? All perverts towards her. Her father? Had I even had to say how horrible he was in forcing his daughter to act and dress as a male just because his sick dream was having one?
Women are the only gender that see Ryu by who she is, a woman, not because of her body but also because of her as a person. They never tried to abuse her, they mostly showed her only kindness without any ulterior motives contrary to the men in her life.
So guess what? It makes sense for her to have her guard up with Nagisa after what he tried to do with her, even if he was pressured bc of a non-existent time limit it doesn't excuse his actions.
However later on, when they live together he is only respectful to her. No touching or hugging, the only time that that happens is because he is asleep, and he only has seen her changing or almost naked by accident.
But the thing here is that Nagisa is the one that tries to talk to her, and is only because Ryu is scared of him thanks to all the males in her life trying to use her in some way and Nagisa's past actions that make her wary of him. She thinks he is like other men and he deserves it because he acted like one of the men she knows.
Nevertheless, we see him actually being honest with her and respecting her wishes and feelings in the last scenes, ready to leave because he thought she hated him. Something that no men had done to her before.
The bar is in hell but at least Nagisa is trying and Ryu see's this.
He is already a better love interest that Konatsu and Tsubasa of Ukyo in Ranma 1/2.
Yes his introduction was late, but he at least received development with Ryu.
Canon or Fanon don't change a thing in fandoms, people love and support what they like.
And we should all respect each other opinions when they have valid arguments, being facts or preferences.
However, I did need to share my analysis because some people in the Urusei Yatsura fandom only saw the old anime and ova's without reading the manga so they may not know a lot of the context later on with Nagisa and Ryu. Heck, I didn't even expected for David pro to animate the one-night's battle chapters next week!
And if they still don't like it after reading my analysis, well good for them! It's totally understandable and I won't judge them or anything because we have different opinions!
The perfect character with flaws that follow the narrative most perfectly can have people who hate them! Some without reasons and some with valid reasons.
Maybe is because of the design? The personality? Something doesn't make people like them and that is okay!
People are free to block the users or tags, so they can still be happy and not ruin the fun of others.
I will keep loving Nagisa and shipping him with Ryu, because of the last analysis I made, some points I covered in this post, and because my opinion of them is really positive.
We are all grown-ups and if some are not, at least act as one for the fandom and to have a more healthy interaction and feed with everyone.
