Remember the episode where Rei fought Mariah? Back in the Tigers story Arc? That incident makes it a canon. I mean, he asked her OUT!!! (sobs) REI YOU BELONG WITH KAI DON'T LEAVE HIM!! Traitor. |

Wasn't it Mariah who asked? Well Rei agreed anyway ._. I don't really support the pairing (ok none at all..) because I don't like Mariah and I can't imagine them being together. Mariah seems so bossy <_< While watching japanese Beyblade I heard Mao calling Rei 'Rei-nii' (nii means a brother if you don't know). Just as he calls her official brother Lai 'Lai-nii'. Can japanese people call their 'possible boyfriend' a brother? I secretly agree that Rei belongs with Kai. |

The thing about Rei/Mariah and being canon (if only in the manga) is that a looot of its fanbase got really really uuber-bigoted and saw the manga's end as an excuse to shove Rei/Mariah down your throat every two seconds. It helps the annoyance factor greatly, though I'm not one who bases pairing preferences on its fans. XD; But it's not just Rei/Mariah... I think anything getting the 'canon' label is just asking for fanbase segregation/ridicule/what-have-you. Fact is, now it's even MORE of a struggled attempt to justify Rei/Mariah as "True Eternal OMGWTF Love that can NEVER be broken!!!1" because I don't think the pairing is nearly well-developed as everyone thinks it is. In fact, from what I've seen of G-Rev, there's not really much backing up the pairing at all as far as the anime goes. Mariah's waaay more into catering to Lee and Rick, it seemed... Still, Rei's perception of it all can be taken in so many ways, and I just happen to see it as platonic family love, the same love he's got for Lee, Kevin, and Gary. But the real reason I don't like Rei/Mariah is the same reason why I don't like any pairing I don't like: I imagine stuff, I picture their personalities and how they'd react and handle coupley/family situations, and I just don't see the perfect picture forming. XD; If paired with a girl, Mariah's definitely not one I would set up with Rei. I think their wants/needs would clash so much to the point where I don't think they could realistically come to a mutual understanding. I think their personalities clash as well. I can't see the level-headed, gentle-hearted voice of reason paired with an overconfident, pushy go-getter. I'm also not really comfortable pairing Rei with someone who's clearly obsessed... I mean, the manga secured that fear for me... "Look, Rei! Our Ling won!" I think she'd be the type that would bug people on the street and while pointing madly at Rin, while babbling "Look look look! This is my daughter Rin! Rin Kon! That means she's Rei Kon's daughter too! Ohyes, I married Rei, so he's mine now! Nobody else can have him but me, teehee! Why yes, so that makes Rin our daughter! Our daughter which was created by me making Rei mine through consummating our relationship! Did I mention that Rin's totally my daughter?" ... sounds like a few of the fans I've heard of, actually. XD; My bad. Anyway, yeah.... canon can go be my slave and do my chores for all I care. Rei/Mariah being canon has no effect on me... it just reminds me to bring earplugs when I dive into the fanbase these days. |

Yes, I know it's a canon pairing. ^^; I was asking more of how it being a canon pairing is a reason to hate it... Shinneth did bring up a good point about it being rather underdeveloped though. But I guess some of us just imagine the relationship in a different way, in a way that works. |

My like and dislike for this pairing has gone through so many ups and downs. At first, I used to think they were...good for each other...in a weird, roundabout way. But once I was exposed and literally bombarded with it, I began to really despise this couple. It wasn't because I had tonnes of fights with ignorant, 'omgyourOTPsux0rz' fans...it was more because Rei/Mao just seemed way too common and almost too convenient. To me, it was the creator's way of integrating romance with the action. A few episodes in an anime and a couple pages in a book does nothing for me. But that is just my own personal opinion.. It's just...when I think of Rei/Mao, I don't think intimate romance. I think more "Hey, Mao, pass me the salt, please" "No way, you have legs, get it yourself." I try REALLY HARD to like this couple....if only a little...but I can't ever see past a strong friendship or sibling bond. If their relationship is limited to that, I really like it. Their interaction is sweet, but not nearly enough to make me want to ship them together. |

I don't like this pairing, for some reason I never liked this pairing. It's a very easy pairing to see, but I think Mao belongs with Emily and Rei belongs to Kai or something. |
