In Sora no Otoshimono, Ikaros carries around a watermelon like a pet and likes
watermelons and pretty much anything else round. At one point she even has a
watermelon garden and attacks all the bugs that get near the melons.

What's the significance of the watermelon and why does she carry one around?

What's the significance of the watermelon in Sora no Otoshimono?


I believe there is no significance.

It is just a character trait that she really likes watermelons. Probably for
their smooth and round shape.

From what I understand of the anime, she likes being patted on her head by her
master. Since patting something round reminds her of the times her master pats
her, she may simply be reliving that memory.

I think Ikaros likes watermelon not just because it is round and reminds her
of herself when she is being pet, but she also is in a situation where she
might be under a lot of stress without even knowing it (she is trying to get
taken back to her original master), and this is her way to cope with it.

But this is a more realistic theory, so this probably isn't even close to the
idea the producers had when making this decision.
