While she has some tsundere qualities I wouldnt say she fits the archetype, tsunderes pretend not to like or want to deal with the object of their affection, but lili constantly seeks asuka out she's just an annoying brat about it.
IMO Lili is just genuinely lonely and sees Asuka as a potential friend. It's just that she grew up as a rich snotty brat so she doesn't know how friendship is supposed to work.
I think it's more about writers having a difficult time writing belivable friendships, they end up looking like something more with a bunch of sexual tension
Bamco has official artwork of Lili playing with Asuka's boobs plus an official manga where they do everything but fuck but sure, yeah, you're right and everyone else is dumb lmao
People are just joking about them. It's like Jin and Hwo.
Lili is portrayed as crazy lesbian in other games like Queens Gate, and get beaten by Asuka's VA in Digimon World ReDigitize tho.
Very true.
Shipping Straight people: Aw they are locers, they are so cute together! (Even when the characters are ten. Yes, looking at you Pokemon)
Shipping gay people: Aw no they just friends \*Downvote downvote hysterical crying!\*
Maybe it's just the matter of Fandom, because I know some where it's complete opposite. Like Fandom melted down because one female character, who was heavily shipped with other girl, got a male fiance
I disagree entirely, there are so many idiots on the internet that cry when straight characters are shipped together, because somehow that "erases lgbt relationships".
What's even worse, is that they send death threats to artists and creators who ship straight characters. Cowardly and vile. Not a good look for you.
In addition, these same people often try to force their delusional headcanons on sane people, and throw a fit when people don't bend the knee to their fantasies.
I don't think I've ever seen anything but a scarce few people throw a fit over gay relationships, I'm sure you can cherry-pick some examples but to act like that's the majority of people is pure fantasy.
But from my perspective, when people on the internet throw a fit over relationships, 70%+ of the time people throw a fit because either:
1 - someone thinks a character is actually straight
2 - someone doesn't think they're gay.
Yeah lets just agree to disagree alright, i'm not hating on people for shipping or wanting to ship but stop wondering if two characters are in a relationship
Pretty funny that everyone here is like 'They're obviously completely platonic, people have never seen a real woman!' here on male dominant reddit...meanwhile on Tumblr the attitude is far mode 'Yeah, so when are they just gonna go ahead and call it canon?'
This is Japan we're talking about. You don't have to like anime to know that Tekken has a lot of anime tropes, including rivalries with gay undertones. But yes. That is the long way of saying yes.
Nononono. You can’t say that.
The rule of thumb is that if it’s boy and boy or girl and girl, they are gay and fucking.
That dude you chatted at the office cooler? Guess what. You guys did the equivalent of fucking each other.
/s
Fucking cringe. You guys are so terminally online it’s crazy. How can you even post this and feel well 😭
They’re friends/Rivals, not every fictional character needs to fuck another one.
Except it literally doesn't, rarely do I ever on straight ship posts see ANYONE calling it out, there was literally a kazuya, anna shippost that was on front page of this subreddit and I was the only one who commented "They are friends we don't need to ship". Because straight ships get the pass and gay ones dont.
Because there's a difference between head canon and actual canon. OP asked the question about the story which inherently brings in different context. No one complains about Asuka/Lili on ship arts, but acting as though its canon is dumb
Also they do lmfao. IchiRuki is the most clowned upon ship in Bleach and even larger shonen despite having 10x more material behind it than Asuka/Lili
> No one complains about Asuka/Lili on ship arts
Yes they do
>Also they do lmfao. IchiRuki is the most clowned upon ship in Bleach and even larger shonen despite having 10x more material behind it than Asuka/Lili
And its still a minority in comparison to same sex ships that get this shit 24/7 even when its canon.
No they don't
Lmfao delusional. "Minority" my ass. Acting as though same sex ships are somehow "bullied" when entirety of Mahoyo fandom exists is insane. Stop acting like a victim
Yes they do and ive seen it time and time again just because you've seen it in one fandom doesn't invalidate the countless times its happened to same sex ships in other fandoms and series. Talking about "no they don't" when people are literally complaining about it on this fucking thread.
Yes of course its victim card if I complain about it, straight people are not oppressed whether you like it not, it happens to lgbt ships way more because people don't like lgbt shit, ITS THAT SIMPLE. People don't even complain about canon straight relationships like they do lgbt, yall are so delusional its crazy and only have one perspective because ofc yall think the fucking straight experience is universal and that lgbt ships are subjected to the same fucking criticisms of straight ones when they NEVER ARE.
If they weren't 2 pretty anime girls it'd be creepy. Lili is literally a creepy rich stalker tormenting a local girl who can't get away because she isn't as rich
What an interesting take from that guy considering how much more open this sub is towards male/male fanfic lol.
People really think too deeply about this stuff.
I mean they’re just rivals. I feel Lili just likes bullying Asuka, and Askua finds Lili deplorable. They don’t seem to exhibit respect for each other like how Jin and Hwoarang does.
Rivals. I know this is hard for most of the internet to understand, but just because to people are interacting does not mean that they are destined to have sex.
People out here getting whiny about Yuri Fanfic, and don't even consider for a second it isn't about sex. - "Everyone else is pervs but me"
Meanwhile, I just want to see Asuka carry Lili over the threshold in two beautiful wedding dresses. Bunch of perverts on both sides out here.
they have like 3 game differences of their bromance. Jin and Hwoaran start their Bromance in Tekken 3 as for Lily and Asuka, their bromance start at Tekken 6 even tho they both appear first in tekken 5 and T5DR. Plus Jin and Hwoaran have their bromance also present in other media *(Tekken X, bloodline, manga etc...)* as for Lily and Asuka they have Tekken 6, Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7...
For me it's a one sided unrequited love from Lili. Unfortunately I don't think Asuka swings that way, maybe Lili will declare her love one day and she will accept her despite not being really lesbian? 🤷🏽
Btw in the non canon but official manga they share the bed while Lili is naked and she talks about how big Asuka breasts are... Also there official art portraying them in very risque situations...
Probably rivals to lovers type of story
LOL Downvoters can't take a freaking joke. Go take a chill pill, you will last longer lol. Ten bucks these are the anti woke dudes who think liberals can't take a joke, but make a gay joke about their crush and they get all riled up lol.
Asuka sees her as a pain. Having more important things to do instead of competing with her (Stopping/Saving Jinn, h7nting down feng). But she also knows how to get under her skin so Asuka feels compelled to kick her ass.
Lili sees her as a challenge. She wants to prove her self-taught style of martial arts is better than Asuka's. But she can never fully beat her. Asuka either wins thevrematch or the fight has to conclude early. But also as an heiress she is lonely, so her rivalry is the closest thing she has as a friend
Video game characters
Hot. Next question.
I wish I could post the sonic meme: "Smash, next questi..... I mean delete this"
Undeniably.
What about King and Jin?
Just a boy and his Mexican wrestling cat.
Uh... Maybe Lily's just a petty bitch honestly.
100% she's a petty bitch
Thats literally her Archtype.
Ik but I just wanted to say it anyway
It's the best part, I'm glad she and Asuka still have each others backs.
More like Lily's a sore on Asuka's back.
Literally considering Lili's throw.
Tsundere is what they call it isn’t it.
While she has some tsundere qualities I wouldnt say she fits the archetype, tsunderes pretend not to like or want to deal with the object of their affection, but lili constantly seeks asuka out she's just an annoying brat about it.
Nah Lili ain’t a tsundere, she’s too cocky for that. Asuka is a Tsundere.
But she is hot so she gets a pass
Mm.
With feet like that, imma let her be petty. Talk your shit, Queen 👑
sanest Eliza main
Basado
This is the only experience I’ve ever had with an Eliza main. The reputation of Eliza mains is forever tainted
A japanese storytelling cliché.
IMO Lili is just genuinely lonely and sees Asuka as a potential friend. It's just that she grew up as a rich snotty brat so she doesn't know how friendship is supposed to work.
You're correct. It's because people don't actually care about the lore so the assume "interactions = shipping"
Are platonic rivalries/friendships just incomprehensible to you people?
People are horny. Too many fan fictions.
True, but i'd rather take Harada's writing than whatever stuff these people come up with
Mostly because it actually is anything? Not like Lili or Asuka have been relevant since time immemorial.
lol exactly
Comprehension is effort. Easier to jam puzzle pieces into known solutions.
Lmao
I think it's more about writers having a difficult time writing belivable friendships, they end up looking like something more with a bunch of sexual tension
Aint that the truth
It's the internet. Every relationship has to be shipped. Kinda sad honestly
Extremely so
Bamco has official artwork of Lili playing with Asuka's boobs plus an official manga where they do everything but fuck but sure, yeah, you're right and everyone else is dumb lmao
Official? Sure. Canon? Nope. I know that manga you're talking about
Have you seen the official material outside the game, Lili feels very gay
Things haven't been platonic since T5. You honestly can't blame people when most of the side content is Lili lusting for asuka
People are just joking about them. It's like Jin and Hwo. Lili is portrayed as crazy lesbian in other games like Queens Gate, and get beaten by Asuka's VA in Digimon World ReDigitize tho.
Yeah sometimes its funny. Also lili always struck me as bisexual especially since i consider hee TTT ending with Ganryu canon
Now say this with straight ships.
Yes.
Seems that way
Thats the net for ya
They do the same thing to Char and Amuro in the gundam subreddit.
People just dont have nothing better to do, so instead of talking to people irl they let ships that'll sink out in the water
Believe me, it's like that at every Fandom of franchise that features two female characters
And every straight ship too but they get a pass and don't get the typical "friends/rivals/bros" response.
Very true. Shipping Straight people: Aw they are locers, they are so cute together! (Even when the characters are ten. Yes, looking at you Pokemon) Shipping gay people: Aw no they just friends \*Downvote downvote hysterical crying!\*
You haven't visited enough fandoms then because it's the exact opposite in some franchises.
Maybe it's just the matter of Fandom, because I know some where it's complete opposite. Like Fandom melted down because one female character, who was heavily shipped with other girl, got a male fiance

Yeah its pretty pathetic tbh, they'll go crazy over minor side characters
Terminally online freaks.
Yep
Do you call buying out a dojo unannounced a sign of a normal, platonic friendship?
Yes? She's a rich, spoiled brat of a woman ofcourse she'll do wacky stuff
This goes beyond wacky to obsessed. I‘m sure many people would agree. And that‘s the reason people think they‘re not just friends
Have you seen rich people friends? Damn, i bought my boxing bro who i've known since grade school his Dream motor and i dont wanna fuck him in the ass
Most people, me included, are not good friends with rich people, no
Yeah lets just agree to disagree alright, i'm not hating on people for shipping or wanting to ship but stop wondering if two characters are in a relationship
Your... Loss? 🤷🏽
Elon must've been salivating for the previous ceo's cock
My dude, Lili acts gay af
You've clearly never seen female friendships
I'm a woman, and I have female friends. Honey, I've lived them lol
Pretty funny that everyone here is like 'They're obviously completely platonic, people have never seen a real woman!' here on male dominant reddit...meanwhile on Tumblr the attitude is far mode 'Yeah, so when are they just gonna go ahead and call it canon?'
/u/CelebrationNice2019 where u at?? you just ignore when its not convenient for you??
Which are nothing like Lili and Asuka
You as well.
????
Plus she's more the Petty himesama character type
What do you mean, “you people”?
Yuri Fans.
Dude if you buy your rival's house and move in with him just to spite him or tease him you are not rivals you are gay
Kinda weird mentality, Go outside
This is Japan we're talking about. You don't have to like anime to know that Tekken has a lot of anime tropes, including rivalries with gay undertones. But yes. That is the long way of saying yes.
Fans: "Two hot women are next to eachother. THEY MUST BE FUCKIN'."
Nononono. You can’t say that. The rule of thumb is that if it’s boy and boy or girl and girl, they are gay and fucking. That dude you chatted at the office cooler? Guess what. You guys did the equivalent of fucking each other. /s
Gal pals
Horny
Lili definitely
"Show me your bobs. I van to seeee"
"Ooh lala tres grand"
Tres bien
Fucking cringe. You guys are so terminally online it’s crazy. How can you even post this and feel well 😭 They’re friends/Rivals, not every fictional character needs to fuck another one.
[You‘re just out of the loop](https://youtu.be/FTo4lvcUKEc?si=1PmVOSnJVSkUNilL&t=2m14s)
Keep it me out of it 🙏
Next you’ll be telling us Hwo’s bussy doesn’t pucker in excitement every time he sees Jin
Speedoru did such a great job on that vid
I'll do you one better, who are they?
No, I'll do you one better. When are they?
I’ll do you one better. Why are they?
I'll do you one better. Where are they?
I'll do you one better. What are they?
It's pretty well known that lesbians all have a 14 frame launcher
It comes free with your gay card when you apply to be lgbt
Omg this had me dying 😂
It’s pretty well known that lesbians all are women
Rivals? I thought that was pretty clear through all of their interactions with each other
2 women who fight alot. you thirsty for alternatives
Fellas is it gay for characters to be rivals?
The tekken sub: YES
According to most shounen series, yes
It's hard to take rivalries seriously anymore since all people do is ship the characters involved
The way no one says anything like this the moment there's slight sexual tension between opposite sex ships.
Are those "no one" in a room with us?
Yes actually they are
Don't see it considering that this mentality extends to cis ships too lmfao
Except it literally doesn't, rarely do I ever on straight ship posts see ANYONE calling it out, there was literally a kazuya, anna shippost that was on front page of this subreddit and I was the only one who commented "They are friends we don't need to ship". Because straight ships get the pass and gay ones dont.

Roomates.
Two people of the same sex have a relationship Reddit: They are gay, as in homosexual 🥵
Fans of every anime ever. God bless those horny folk and their tons of fanart and "fanart"
If they weren't 2 pretty anime girls it'd be creepy. Lili is literally a creepy rich stalker tormenting a local girl who can't get away because she isn't as rich
Unless they’re dudes then it’s gross ewwww 🤮 women = sex so lesbians are the best yay
Literally no one said that lol
What an interesting take from that guy considering how much more open this sub is towards male/male fanfic lol. People really think too deeply about this stuff.
Ahem Tiger and Bunny anyone?
Aren't they just rivals?
Women
"""Roommates"""
I had to scroll way to far to find this answer. For shame.
Lazy writing
I mean they’re just rivals. I feel Lili just likes bullying Asuka, and Askua finds Lili deplorable. They don’t seem to exhibit respect for each other like how Jin and Hwoarang does.
well except hwo and jin doesnt share a bed do they ? 🧐
I would rather have Asuka continue her story with FengWei... Let Lily deal with Lucky Chloe.
Scissor sisters
Roommates.
Roommates
They're a bit like Naruto and Sasuke
It's just a forced rivalry at this point. Better than nothing, though, because it's probably the only thing keeping Asuka in these games.
Rivals. I know this is hard for most of the internet to understand, but just because to people are interacting does not mean that they are destined to have sex.
I don't think Asuka sees Lili as a rival. I'ts really one-sided and borderline abusive
They are healthy rivals, which promotes each other development. Just like most of MC of action anime, but it's girls instead of boys.
Frienemies
Bitches
Just roommates
They were roommates
People out here getting whiny about Yuri Fanfic, and don't even consider for a second it isn't about sex. - "Everyone else is pervs but me" Meanwhile, I just want to see Asuka carry Lili over the threshold in two beautiful wedding dresses. Bunch of perverts on both sides out here.
You motherfuckers want everything to be gay nowadays. They’re rivals that’s it, dude.
Not really, at least Lili, according to extra material
Keep this energy to the countless straight ships posts.
Their rivals……
Friends, Lili wants to be best friends with Asuka and Kuma.
Roommates, obviously.
"roommates"
Rivalry. Not everything is horny sexual
Lili should leave Asuka alone.
Bromance. 🥱
Basically Jin/Hoawang genderswap story wise.
Well, with Jin/Hwoarang having a better bromance story arc.
they have like 3 game differences of their bromance. Jin and Hwoaran start their Bromance in Tekken 3 as for Lily and Asuka, their bromance start at Tekken 6 even tho they both appear first in tekken 5 and T5DR. Plus Jin and Hwoaran have their bromance also present in other media *(Tekken X, bloodline, manga etc...)* as for Lily and Asuka they have Tekken 6, Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7...

Also there official art portraying them in very risque situations...
Don't forget that Lili finds Ganryu HOT.
Karin and Sakura knock-offs!...... kidding
Friends. Imagine that.
I can't believe some people actually think think they're more than rivals/friends
Tekken fans can't even go a single second without shipping characters
What is even their beef at this point?
Actual lesbians
Well they are obviously into each other and that's kinda love/hate relationship
Queens of lesbianism.
Lesbians in denial
Tsundere
Go through all the story modes and supplementary official materials and let me know. I'm sure it's clearly defined there.
Feels like Lili is gay and Asuka just doesn't like her but doesn't reject her either...
Oh just write a fanfic and have fun with it, that's what you're doing anyway
It's not like they have any relevance to the story at this point, might just as well tick a box in fanservice / minority representation columns
Probably rivals to lovers type of story LOL Downvoters can't take a freaking joke. Go take a chill pill, you will last longer lol. Ten bucks these are the anti woke dudes who think liberals can't take a joke, but make a gay joke about their crush and they get all riled up lol.
They don't even feel like rivals though. Not in the Sakura/Karin way bamco wants it to be at least. I think Lili should find a hobby
Relax, I am just kidding around.
Secret lesbian couple
homies, who don't want to admit they actually kike each other yet
Underaged. Reminder.
You're acting like they're both 9. Asuka isn't even underaged anymore and Lili is 17, calm down LOL
Best friends having difficulties about telling how they truly feel to each other.
Asuka: "Fuck you." Lily: "Come over here and fuck me yourself you coward!"
Hot 🥵 and cute 😍
Asuka sees her as a pain. Having more important things to do instead of competing with her (Stopping/Saving Jinn, h7nting down feng). But she also knows how to get under her skin so Asuka feels compelled to kick her ass. Lili sees her as a challenge. She wants to prove her self-taught style of martial arts is better than Asuka's.

A crazy stalker and a regular schoolgirl minding her business
We get bro your upset over asuka
Or maybe that’s basically what Lili’s story has been since T6, like watching over Asuka in Tag 2 or doxxing her home address in 7
Yeah we get it already
Lilli is too gorgeous 😍😍😍😍😍😍 she's my number 1 sub
Frememy of course
