Rance is basically a the male equivalent of the bitchiest and most physically/emotionally abusive tsundere's Japan has developed a fandom for.

He is a male Louise, he is the counter to Taiga, and you all hate him for the same actions these two and many more partake in. That would not be bad if you didn't DEFEND the girls rather than bash them as well.

Hypocrites, all of you.

Rance is, if anything, some sort of yandere since he thinks it's okay to destroy anything between him and his love interest. What doesn't fit is that he has multiple love interests.

Female Rance would slash down any female competition without a second thought so you'll only look at her.

What makes it even harder to classify is that - as bluntly immature as he is - the guy is far from dumb. Just look at the Uesugi arc.

So, either he gets the princess and half the kingdom now... or he waits a turn and gets four princesses, the whole kingdom, and gets to make old Kensei a head shorter.
Sure, it's up to the player which he chooses. But in either scenario, he does at least consider both options.

Indeed. It's refreshing seeing a game... or no, seeing a SETTING at all, where the kitsune character actually does kitsune stuff. In her rightful place, properly throned next to her warlord.

She's a quite interestingly composed character. Her whole character design revolves around basic sexual attraction (note how her ears are offscreen to move her breasts into focus), bringing focus on the kitsune's ability to shapeshift into a pleasing form to catch bring opposition off their guard. At the same time, her personality is the classing kitsune - intelligent, calculating, and utterly merciless once she has a goal in mind - let us not forget she has killed unsung and unmourned soldiers in the thousands, and will likely do so again soon.

Soon.

A bit large for my taste. Like to think of kitsune as characters that use cunning and mysticism rather than size. But from what I know there isn't any "standard" kitsune size - come to think of it, it's fairly rarely any media shows kitsune in their true form.
The only example I can think of off the top of my head would be Okami, which portrays Ninetails as standing about 5' at the shoulder.
