* or there's a deeper meaning/symbolism behind their fancy names like "Kyouen no Murasakizuishou" (嬌嫣の紫水晶) and "Souten no Seigyoku" (蒼天の青玉)?


For example the second kanji 嫣 in the name of Shizuru's GEM, has an interesting meaning according to the Unihan database: http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUn...codepoint=5ae3

Why is there a dot betwean the word "Robe" and it's Clasification?
- Robe.Blue Sky Sapphire
- Robe.Amethyst
- Robe.Coral
Isn't Robe the full name? :(

lol.......gues when you becom a Pillar your GEM gets upgraded with impruved materialize grafix...... Arika and Nina still have the typing line :rolleyes:

Tokiha Mai 炎殊の紅玉(?) Enju no Kougyoku

The first kanji 炎 (en) is the flame. It's almost 100% correct.
I'm used for the second kanji what most of the japanese bloggers used.
殊 - exceptionally
but the a ju/shu part could be written with dozens of other kanji
possible other versions:
嬬 - mistress
朱 - scarlet/red
呪 - spell/curse/charm

[Obsidian penguin]

I don't know if I should post this here, but it's about gems...

Month ----- Gem ----- Virtue
January ----- Garnet ----- Loyalty
February ----- Amethyst ----- Sincerity
March ----- Aquamarine ----- Courage
April ----- Diamond ----- Innocence
May ----- Emerald ----- Love
June ----- Pearl ----- Health
July ----- Ruby ----- Satisfaction
August ----- Peridot ----- Conjugal happiness
September ----- Sapphire ----- Intelligence
October ----- Opal ----- Hope
November ----- Topaz ----- Fidelity
December ----- Turquoise ----- Prosperity

Conclusions about the characters may be drawn with this ?

[babuji]

Was this form the japanese website?

Not so sure if we can use this as our conclusion for the characters..maybe it reflects a little.

[Anime Adoru]

Not so sure if we can use this as our conclusion for the characters..maybe it reflects a little.

If we stick with Arika getting the Sapphire GEM, it would mean her main virtue is intelligence. Uhmm... A lot comes to my mind when thinking of Arika, but that's not the first thing.

[Obsidian penguin]

It's simply astrological stones : http://www.webindia123.com/astrology/gems.htm

They use earth months while they are not on earth. Why not using astrological stones from earth ?

And me too, intelligence doesn't come first into my mind when thinking of Arika...

And about other Otomes and characters ?
We can suppose that like Mashiro, some may have their date of birth changed.
HiME-Shizuru was born on december, but Otome-Shizuru may be february.
As for Mai, HiME-Mai was born on July.

And what do you think about peridot, quite conflictual for an Otome ?

On a side note, HiME-Akane was born on September 7th.

Nao Zhang: The Peridot of Virginity...

[Sunsh]

Nao Zhang: The Peridot of Virginity...

Believe it or not, I agree.. :heh:
Otome Nao and HiME Nao are different from what they think about virginity.. (maybe? :confused: )

[Vallen Chaos Valiant]

Believe it or not, I agree.. :heh:
Otome Nao and HiME Nao are different from what they think about virginity.. (maybe? :confused: )
Keep in mind that the MH Nao, despite appearances, has not once traded sex for money. (even though that's what all her classmates thought she was doing.)

She might rob people, and use sexuality as bait, but the real MH Nao is someone who truly detests men, and certainly won't have sex with random people willingly.

Is MH Nao a virgin? Who knows, it depends on what she was like before her mother got sick. The Nao as we know it in MH, after she starts 'earning' money for her mother's illness, was only interested in robbing people. I certainly don't think Nao had sex for some time in MH, if at all...

And she was a nun-in-training during the closing sequence of episode 26 in MH, a position that by it's nature screams Virgin. I don't think that Peridot is exactly the proper gem for Nao by any means however, but signs point to the fact that of the HiME girls, she was the most likely to remain a virgin.

Juliet Nao Zhang, Jasper of the Pure Spirit

Jasper is one of the birth stones listed for the Sun Sign of Virgo.

I hate to be the one to mention this, but there is no rule that nuns have to be virgins. It is not too rare for them to have sexual experience before taking their vows. It is only after their vows that they aren't allowed sexual activity. Just like priests.

I got the Ruby gem! My birthday is July. I'm Mai!:heh:

I got the Ruby gem! My birthday is July. I'm Mai!:heh:

i am your master bow down! yeh Mai!

[paTKany]

If the "Fire String Ruby" is correct then Mai's GEM could be 炎紐の紅玉 Enjuu no Kougyoku

[ando]

If the "Fire String Ruby" is correct then Mai's GEM could be 炎紐の紅玉Enjuu no Kougyoku

It is confirmed 炎授の紅玉 from TV Tokyo's My Otome Official site.

http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/contents/maiotome/episodes/episodes01/index.html

See the bottom of the page.

EDIT: Yes, I fixed.

[Tokkan]

「炎授の紅玉」

Uh... what? I'm sorry your text didn't display correctly on my machine.

[D3athScythe]

I can read soem off those jap words anyway, =P since I'm half chinese
most of the more complicated looking ones are the same meaning in chinese =O

[paTKany]

Thanks for the info ando.

Then it's official:
Tokiha Mai 炎綬の紅玉 Enju no Kougyoku

Now i'm researching on Akane's unused GEM.
The first possible version is:
清廉の孔雀石 Seiren no Kujakuishi - Malachite of Purity(?)

[Zafo]

Why is there a dot betwean the word "Robe" and it's Clasification?
- Robe.Blue Sky Sapphire
- Robe.Amethyst
- Robe.Coral
Isn't Robe the full name? :(

In computer programming one uses a "dot" to access subelements of a class. These subelements can be simple bits of memory, functions, or even more classes nested underneath.

For example, in a video game once could have a class called "Door". In the programming if you ask for "Door.Height" the class will return you a number representing the height (so you can tell if someone can go through it). Or, you can have functions, which are baby programs, inside the class. So you could run "Door.Open" and in the video game the door would go through an opening animation and make a creaking sound.

Given the technical nature of the rest of the text on the gems, and the fact that no one would ever look close enough to read them outside of a diagnostic context, I belive the "dot" implies that all the robes stem from a basic uniform design, and each unique robe is simply a list of changes on that.

Like, each gem has the basic elements of every robe programmed in. Like you're crazy strong, you can fly, etc. But Shizuru's "amethyst" subset would dictate things unique to her, like the colours, tails, her weapon.

Did this clear anything up?

[ando]

Now i'm researching on Akane's unused GEM.
The first possible version is:
清廉の孔雀石 Seiren no Kujakuishi - Malachite of Purity(?)

We can see 清恋の孔雀石 as Seiren no Kujakuishi in the picture posted in "[My Otome] [SPOILERS] Future Episode Synopses/Series Predictions" thread.

http://img343.imageshack.us/my.php?image=11365345737314mq.jpg

[paTKany]

Thanks for the correction again.

So it's officially:
Rosalie Claudel and Akane Soir 清恋の孔雀石 Seiren no Kujakuishi - Malachite of Pure Romance(?)
Looks like GEMs are inheritable.

[Jenny]

Umm... One question: Is Haruka Ruby of the tin or Topaz of the bells (something like that)
(Sorry my english m from finland) I got Topaz btw...:)

Thank you!

[paTKany]

Umm... One question: Is Haruka Ruby of the tin or Topaz of the bells (something like that)
(Sorry my english m from finland) I got Topaz btw...:)

The answer is neither of them.
The Topaz is correct but the word "Suzu" comes from her old My-HiME name "Suzushiro".
Where 珠 su means precious stone, gem, jewel, pearl and 洲 zu means continent, island, islet. So it's Topaz of the Jewel Isles or something like this.

[paTKany]

Here's a manga only GEM:

Looks like Akira is an otome in the manga, and her GEM is:
玄内の橄欖石 Gennai no Kanranseki
in english it could be Mysterious Peridot or simply Gennai's Peridot

[Akuma-sama]

Tsk tsk, you're all wrong about Mai's title... it's most likely 炎殊の越中褌.

What, fire string... :heh:

For Nina Wong 漆黑の金剛石
The Pitch-Black Diamond.

(漆 means "paint", so the best translation is pitch.)

This is an obvious counterpart to Shinso Fumi's 真白なる金剛石 Mashiro naru Kongouseki. As her GEM is "True White" VS "Pitch-Black".

And yes, it appear inevitable now the Obsidian Lord would make an appearance some how... The Shwartz is a cult after all, and a cult need a dark God to worship...

[Akuma-sama]

And yup, once more they have the main secondary character fighting the main one... And if they follow exactly the same recipe, Sergei is the obsidian lord :heh:

[Starks]

I thought Shwartz was seeking a method to bypass the need for a robe.

[kazekiri]

Reminds me of a preview shot of some of the MH figurines. Nina's figure was all black from the shoulders down, I thought that was just a way of indicating they weren't done making it yet but now I wonder if they were dropping a hint... of course they also called Haruka a Pillar and we're still working that one out. EDIT: Now that the second OP has come out and shown all the Pillars, I guess we're not.

[kazekiri]

Anyone else checked out the official site recently? I noticed that they have artwork of Akane's GEM (which is purple oddly enough, I could swear malachite was green). Anyhow, I figure we'll be seeing that one again in the future...

[paTKany]

4 new GEMs:

One more new GEM:

ラウラ・ビアンキ Laura Bianchi - 絢爛の頑火輝石 Kenran no Gankakiseki - Gorgeous(or Brilliant) Enstatite(?)

And some notes:
- It's natural to read 久遠 as Kuon.
- 柘榴石 is Zakuroishi.

No she's not, Nao took off Tate's pants then she sat on his pelvis while she slowly takes off her panties, I'm sure Tate got an erection after that and went through the hole.

So no, she is infact not a virgin. She is a whore.

You're talking about MH manga Nao.
Yes, she's a complete slut there.

She's a completely different char in MH anime.
She's a bitter temptress (that's as far as she goes) in the anime, while in the manga she's just a rotten slut.

Actually, if you pay attention to the basic design for Meister robes, Nina's Meister robe is the odd one out.

Every other Meister robe has a "belt" around the waist section, and a thruster on the back.
Things obviously missing from Nina's Meister robe.

Not exactly a GEM per se but in 22 Miyu refers to the Valkyrie GEM as 呪詛の黒曜石 - Juso no Kokuyouseki, the Cursed Obsidian.

They are GEMS, gems are what controls the nanomachines in their bodies, you can't have robes without them.

I meant in the Meister Gem sense since every other one we've mentioned on this page fits into that category.:p

[SoldierOfDarkness]

"Isn't it wonderful? Nagi-sama gave me this meister robe"

-Tomoe

Their not any different than the Pillars of Garderobe since they don't have a master except Rena herself so they can activate it anytime. Yuck...thinking about that scene where Tomoe starts blabbing about her robe makes me feel sick.:upset: :(

[kazekiri]

They're also mass-produced like the Coral and Pearl ones as opposed to the presumably one of a kind Meister Gems but we're really quibbling over nothing. I just thought people would be interested in what they're called since I could swear I've seen Obsidian mentioned in this universe before...

[NeoSlicerZ]

I'm very curious to know what happens to the gems when the master dies seeing as the Meister gems seem to be one of a kind. Anyone know?

[Cats]

Apparently normal Master Gems are simple ... there produced for the user and when they die they dissapear (well we don't really know ... it could be that they don't since Aswardo seem to have gotten there hands on one) ... then there are the Azure Safire type wich defently don't go bey bey ... probably return to the pendant for a new user ... just some speculation from me ;)

Except the Sapphire of Heaven wasn't being used, Rena had retired and not a single Otome took it up. Rena had lost her powers due to childbirth so she pretty much wasn't contracted anymore.

They're also mass-produced like the Coral and Pearl ones as opposed to the presumably one of a kind Meister Gems but we're really quibbling over nothing.

I don't see how that qualifies them as non-meisters, their called meister robes, simple as that. Pearls and corals are simply students. End.


I just thought people would be interested in what they're called since I could swear I've seen Obsidian mentioned in this universe before...

According to the subs it's The Cursed Black Diamond. Eitherway, cursed seems to fit them.

[paTKany]

According to the subs it's The Cursed Black Diamond.

That was a Doremi mistranslation.

Kokuyou is Obsidian.

[Cats]

Maybe if the master and the otome are in sinc ... in other words they have the same goal and share the same feelings then the power of the gem will increase ... since the ultimate black dimond activated when Nina contracted hate dissese from Nagi and the Azure Saphire protected Arika and Mashiro in ep7 it would make sense

Got to get rid of all this gem junk in my head :eyespin:

[Tokkan]

Nao's Meister GEM is the Hagen no Senshouseki, or that's at least what I think I heard. Can anybody find any kanji or translation for it?

Edit: I found the apparent kanji. 破幻の尖晶石

I don't think it's the right kanji, though.

[ando]

Shiho's Meister GEM is 螺旋の蛇紋石(Rasen no Jamonseki): Spiral Serpentine, Maki Maki Serpentine or something like that. :)

[paTKany]

Rosalie got a new GEM. (Seems Akane took the Seiren no Kujakuishi during her escape.)

ロザリー・クローデル Rosalie Claudel - 深淵の翡翠 Shinen no Hisui - Abyss Jade

[kazekiri]

Rosalie got a new GEM. (Seems Akane took the Seiren no Kujakuishi during her escape.)Somehow I expected this to happen... Akane keeping the GEM that is, not the old user getting a new one (kind of... odd).

So, with that Gem, shihos gonna be an artai's allies right?

[kazekiri]

Just thought I'd give this thread a bit of a bump, add some mildly useless info and ask a question. I plugged some of the GEMs from the first page in and figured out what they mean.

Reiryuu no Tenranseki - Lazulite Companion Dragon.

Ryuusei no Tokuiseki - Diopside of Flowing Water

LR no Kairenseki - ? Zoisite
Apparently the kanji-hiragana mix is the way it's supposed to be written. Now does anyone have any idea what the hell LR is supposed to mean?

Tastuhiko's name was already known from the website. Apart from that, the rest of this is fine.

Now the game and drama CDs are out, many of the English names are a tad obsolete. The correct English names:

Thanks! Please keep us posted if you find anymore. Are there any in the anime guide book? I am wondering why they changed Shizuru's GEM name. Anyone know what it says directly on her earring in the anime? I am not at home so I can't check.

Currently, all the info comes from either Drama CD #2 or the PS2 game. Beyond that, no other official English name for a GEM has ever came off a Japanese press.

Akane Soir - Pure Heart Malachite
Juilet Nao Zhang - Break String Spinel

OVA Episode 1 confirmed these above, and provided (almost) two more translated GEM name:
Sara Gallagher - Milky Way Aquamarine
Mahya Blythe - W????ng Dance Flourite

[Tokkan]

Funny how fuuka-gakuen.net updates with all the information, but still completely neglects to inform people of the fact that Sara is from Aries (http://www.my-zhime.net/tv/character/sala.html) and that Mahya is from Maurya Kingdom
(http://www.my-zhime.net/tv/character/maya.html)(obviously a take on the Maurya Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Empire)) as was stated on the official My-Otome website MONTHS AGO.

Natsuki Kruger 氷雪の銀水晶 Hyousetsu no Ginzuishou

Reira Mariposa 儷竜の天藍石 Reiryuu no Tenranseki
Monica Julen 流水の透輝石(?) Ryuusui no Toukiseki
Sylvie Mosse LRの灰れん石(?) LR Zoisaite(?probably engrish zoisite)

Sylvie, Reira and Monica?? I don't remember them.... (Needs to rewatch Otome)

[Kleo Scanti]

Monica - Miss Maria's onee-sama.
Sylvie - Monica's friend and later enemy, the one with claw-like weapon.

[Aya Reiko]

I'm also guessing Reira is supposed to be Layla.

[AnimaniacForever]

Yeah, that pants are terrible :upset:

I really love Mai's robe *¬*

To me Mai's robe looks really irritating to wear....the skirt look baggy with all the junk she has to wear....and....and.............its just looks annoying to wear

[Same_Shark]

From looking at the site updates, Chie is going to get a Meister Robe, so we'll have to wait and see what GEM she has.

But I thought she was just some general officer of Gardelrobe (sp!)

[AthenAltena]

But I thought she was just some general officer of Gardelrobe (sp!)

I seem to recall she was an Aries officer, and I'm pretty sure in her brief Zwei appearance she was wearing the Aries crest on her uniform. *need to find screen but I seem to recall Haruka and Chie had the same one)

Yup. Haruka (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/images/maiotome/otome20pro4.jpg) and Chie (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/images/maiotome/zwei/zwei0102LG.jpg) both have the gold wings.

[Same_Shark]

If you look at the front of her uniform, you can see the little thing the Meisters have at the front of their uniforms.

[AthenAltena]

Whoops. My bad. Forgot they all had that. Though it looks like the squiggly red thing is an Aries thing, since Haruka has it and so does Chie on her lapel.

[Same_Shark]

Did anyone notice that Fia and Monica have different GEMs, but the same Robe and element?

Wow! Thanks for bringing this thread back! I love you for it! But on subject, it's about time we found out what Mahya's Gem was.

[Same_Shark]

How do they get the names of the Japanese words for these gemstones. It seems that there are only a few gemstones with Japanese names.

[Nina_Wang]

[Sageblink]

Well Rosalie get her GEM "runaway" with Akane, then she gets another one but still she uses the same Robe as before... :heh:

[Same_Shark]

Rosalie probably wore the tiger Robe too, but it was never shown for the purpose of making the original HiME characters have Robes related to their Child from HiME.

[twisted-pisces]

anyone know any of the names of the manga only GEMs other then Erstin and Nina? Like in Otome Saga?
