Hmm, I still don't see why people can be so annoyed with her, she was designed to be that way but that shouldn't make people 'hate' her.
A few pixels don't cause the 'anger chemicals' to rise within me.

To me, she is just another character who is insignificant, and just 'there'.

The only thing of Ming Ming I've seen was Her vs Daichi, in Japanese. To be truthful the whole alter-ego thing sorta freaked me out, but other then that I really like her. She's cute ^_^ and her Japanese singing voice is really pretty.

@Kuznetsov-Yeah that's true but I still really hate her, she just bothers me with all her chibi cuteness and her alter-ego is so scary looking XD. I even like the small MingMing better, so amazing. But I guess Kira Kira Revolution was an okay song x__x. But I do agree that's she just there, but I always dislike a girl from each season so yeah :sweatdrop: she was the one I chose for G-Rev...bad excuse I know.

By the way, since some people on this thread were commenting on how Ming Ming's henshin/alter ego/Queen Mode freaked them out, I thought I might provide my theory (just came up with it last night in the shower- THE best place to think about stuff ^^):

Okay, at the end of the movie, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Bill and Ted had to perform at a rock concert, but they didn't know how to play very well. So they climbed into their time machine booth, zapped themselves away, and seconds later the Bill and Ted -from one year in the future- return to the exact same spot. They now have funny beards and can could play their rock instruments.

So getting back to Beyblade, what we're really seeing (when Ming Ming does her henshin) is the pop star time-traveling into the future and, replacing her, is herself after several years of intense Beyblade training- in other words, her future self time-travels back to the spot where her original self left just a moment before.

This explains why, when Ming Ming "reverts" back to her younger self, she doesn't seem to remember what just happened (the reason? because her PAST self hasn't experienced any of this yet!) Her past self was off chilling somewhere backstage while her older self did all the blading.

And, most likely, she had Balkov as her coach for all those years, which would explain the change in attitude. O.o (Note that, after Balkov was humbled by the BBA Revolutions, the future timeline where he would have trained Ming Ming would no longer exist and neither would her alter ego.)

And the device that lets her time-travel? That pink porom-launcher of her's, naturally. You might think it's a bit small to be such a sophisticated machine, but that's about how big the Acme™ ChronoSkimmer was from Where in Time is Carmen San Diego?

'Tis just my theory. X3

MingMing's okay. I do agree that she is kind of flashy. But she has a kind of originality in the way she beyblades...

I haven't posted here, have I...?

I love Ming-chan like everything!! She's a favorite!! She's extremely adorable when she's small, with those baby-big eyes and her hair, especially in that really flashy/overly-frilly outfit!! SO weird, since I used to hate anything and everything girly/feminine/"cute". Dang, I'm different... whatever, I like myself better this way!!

Anyway... I like her older self too, but I don't like those pink hearts on her black dress, I think they should be a different color(I don't think the black and pink look good together... Steph: *Raises eyebrow* Ali: What?! They don't! It looks ugly like that, and besides, it reminds me of that iffy black/pink candy!!!). But she's really sexy when she's 'older' and almost unbearably kawaii and adorable when she's 'younger'.

Anyway, Ming-chan's launcher... I don't like it too much, it's too... overly-done...? Maybe a bit too... pink... I think it's just because it doesn't look very well with her when she's 'older'. But that's no big deal...

I also like listening to her sing, but then again, I'm not exactly picky with music, which is why I can listen to 98.5 WINC.FM's music from the 80's/90's/now every single night for 1-3 hours for 2-3 years *sweatdrop*. I've never listened to her sing in the Japanese version though...

I think the fact that she can beybattle so well and her 'flaws' in character(shallowness, etc.) are really interesting aspect of her, and I like that. I also think her bitbeast is rather nice, though I didn't see it too much. Her irrepressible 'girlyness' is something I really like about her, it just makes me want to hug her, she can be so kawaii! I love Ming-chan more then I love Rei-kun(No offense, I love Rei-kun too, but it'll take a while before I get over that 3vi1 fanfic, which had almost made me a Rei-hater... don't kill me!)

I don't want girls in the show with no color or variety. I mean, people complain about... bad voice(Ming, Hiromi, Matilda, etc.), too bossy(Julia, Hiromi, Mariam, Mao, Emily), useless(all of them), gets in the way(Hiromi, etc...), the reason for bad romance fics(Hiromi, Mao, etc..), too loud(Hiromi, Mariam, Mao, Julia, Emily, Ming, etc..), just annoying(all of them), too mean(Emily, Mariam, Hiromi, Ming, Julia, Queen), too rude(Julia, Ming, Mariam, Hiromi, Emily), too girly(Ming, Mao, Matilda), bad hair(Hiromi, Salima, Ming), too nice(Matilda, Salima, Mao), I don't like this color(Mao, Emily, Matilda), she's stealing my [insert bishie here](Mao, Salima, Mariam, etc.), giggles too much(Ming mainly, but other girls too), too know-it-allish(Emily, Hiromi), she did this to [insert bishie here](Mariam, Emily, Hiromi, Mao, Salima, Queen), she's too geeky/popular/brown-noser(Emily, Hiromi, Mariam), too sarcastic(Julia, Mariam, Hiromi), she's mean to [insert bishie here](Hiromi, Mariam, Emily, Queen, Salima, etc.), etc., etc., etc.. The list goes on and on!!! And I probably missed a bunch of people too...

But that just... if those people were actual, real live people in, say, school or neighbors or something, would you hate them that much?! I guess it's okay to be picky like that when it comes to manga and anime though, since they aren't real and don't really matter, but it still frustrates me, especially when it's a friend that goes and chara-bashes or decides to hate a character for no reason...

Um... yes... my rant over girl chara-bashing is finished... you may all creep back now and get back to the topic without paying me any mind...

I didn't mind her, but no she's too pinky, too flashy. It would annoy me a bit, but nothing serious (unless I have nothing to do with her)
