How to neutralize an otome?
If contact with semen kills their nanomachines, how much - and where - is enough to do so?
Would it work if people loaded waterpistols and shot them on the face? Or does it have to be "fresh"? Would bukkake work? Or does it have to be actual intercourse? |

Anyways, Natsuki stated explicitly that the substance in question had to be directly inducted inside the system of the Otome in question. Ergo, short of intercourse or syringe, mere contact is not enough to terminate an Otome's abilities. |
Oh. OK.
How about aiming for the mouth or something? Or semen coated darts? |
Not necessarily semen, mind you.
PSA (Prostate Specific Agent) or the Y-Chromosome are the actual catalyst, not the semen itself. So any items coated in those would do. |
So if the people in the Otome world had any brains it would take just a bit of sharp objects action (darts, arrows or whatever) and no more Otomes? Well, I guess this happens when you use stupid plot devices in order to promote lesbianism among the Otomes. I guess Aswawd and Shwarz are really stupid for not figuring out what weapons to use. :)

I think you're all taking this a bit too literally. In Mai HiME, people powered each other's summons through emotions. Why are emotions any less dangerous in Mai Otome?
So, Sunrise took the concept and threw some technobabble onto it. At the very least, I would hope it would take the emotions of love PLUS contact with their deadly weakness to have any effects. |

Not to mention that it's implied that love isn't the major factor, sex is. If not being in love saved the otomes from losing the nanomachines Nao could easily marry secretly to some rich guy and stay an Otome. :) |

The nanomachines aren't exactly magical, I view Mai Otome more as sci-fi than fantasy. I could buy future nanomachines that gives people the ability to fly and so on but not machines who understand when person is in love. And sure, my opinion is quite subjective, feel free to disagree.

If you're going to be selective about which scientific improbabilities you choose to disbelieve, try to at least not let it interfere with your enjoyment of the series. |

To this day, 13 years and 25 viewings later, I still cry each and every single time The Terminator hugs John for the very last time. :( Man I love the First Two movies. ;) |

Wow... I really didn't expect this thread to turn into anything similar to a serious discussion when I first read it.
My take on this subject would be: Yeah, semen-darts or whatever would work. (Good luck on actually getting a hit though, those otomes are pretty darn fast, and who knows how much those robes works as armor...) But... It would make a pretty stupid/boring/weird story. Just like the whole "then why don't they use condoms!?"-thing. It's a plot device. Let's not take it too seriously. ;) |

Because while they have super nano fighting, they don't have rubber? :D :D |
why not load your 'gun' and just shoot off the target >.>

Condoms break. And I'm also going to assume that Otome are chosen, among other things, for their self-discipline, and aren't going to frivolously risk losing their powers.

You know the H-doujins are gonna have a field day with that ^^
