Yes, I did some searching and it turns out "悪" is Chinese "惡", which can mean evil but I was concerned about nuances in the context or translation that would confuse me. But I can see what you / the interviwees are getting at - Mikono does mess up a lot, for example, she really was not helping in ep1+2 by freaking out and telling Amata to run before she finally got it together. I also found her jealousy in episode 5 extremely cute but clearly she could and should have dealt with that situation better.

Hmmm if that's the extend of her 'Evil' then we would be making mountains out of molehills because that's call being human, not mess up. Mess up is like what Luke did in the first part of Tales of the Abyss, or the Trojans when they let that horse in.

She could make a bigger mess than she has - I hope she doesn't. But my point is that the hints there, unfortunately, and yes, her flaws are very human, even understable and charming in a way, but they are unfortunately flaws nonetheless.

Maybe Mikono is reincarnation of Scorpius and that explain Mikono will become a bad girl later in the story
In Aquarion OVA,It was Scorpius that killed Apollonius and will she repeat it again with Amata if she really is Scorpius reincarnation? Last edited by Kurbul; 2012-02-02 at 08:44. |

wowser, you fella's really piled on the posts since I last ventured into here I guess I don't have the time I used to to speculate with you guys, so forgive me if some of these quotes appear old (I have a habit of keeping browser tabs open for weeks, so I just want to clear these up )

Speaking of Mikono, I find that Kagura funny with his sniffing fetish. But I'll tell ya one thing, Kagura: you ain't smell nothin' unless you sniff some pantsu *runs* Quote:

Spoiler for Kagura Fanart (saving space):
Enjoy ~ Ah, I think that makes sense, as I really can't see her pulling a fast one on us by becoming 'evil'. Honestly, I feel like Okada used 'evil' in such a vague manner in order to disorientate the fans for the lulz. |

hmm...finally manage to catch up
HK is actually my birthplace and it is really nice to see that episode 5 has a pretty good and realistic adaption of Hong Kong XD And this series has quite of lot of silliness moments But it's pretty enjoyable. So far I think I can understand the series without the need to know anything beyond basic from the first series....guess this is a good sign for ppl who did not have the opportunity to watch the first series.. I think I will keep watching... P.S who's the sheryl-look-alike person? There is probably too much info in the first couple episodes so I actually forget her role in this series XD

No idea what her role is in the end though. I also just noticed the whole Sazanka-Ranka shenanigans. I (finally) see what you did there, Kawamori. Regarding the spoiler Spoiler for speculation:

@SkullFaerie
many thx...it just never occurred to me that the actress and the one taken away from Amata are the same person...somehow I thought the scenes where the woman disappears to the sky was Amata's dream/memory about the the first series.. (the reincarnation stuff)...it's just that when I see her appear on the other side as well, I know something doesn't add up XD Thanks for the clarification, and once again thx for bringing me into the series XD (the avatar )

You know, I probably would've thought something like that too, if I hadn't seen the first series, and there wasn't anyone like that xD Well, but we still don't really know who she's supposed to be, since all we know is she was an actress, she went away (unclear if she was taken or just went), Amata idolized her and the Abductor-guys idolize her and in their world projections of her are rare. She could be their queen bee for all we know, or Amata's mom, or sister, idol. She could be Gandalf in disguise for all we know. She'll be an important (in function or action) side character, that's for sure. |

A little thought on Mikono being called bad. It could just be that she refuses to simply hold back her feelings for Amata like neo-deava wants. considering that her and Amata are the ones who could truly bring out Aquarion's power. that would be very counterproductive if it causes it to keep going berserk.
Or it could be that her unknown element is something that is more dangerous for them. Something very useful to the abductors whether she is willing to help them or if they have a way to force her to keep using it for them like a machine that will just keep it going for them. concerning the actress. The flashback shows her being abducted by Aquarion rather than the abductors with Amata chasing after her. The opening also shows her asleep in some kind of liquid which likely means she is still alive but being held captive more likely by Neo-deava than the abductors. Perhaps her and Amata are actually from the abductors planet. Amata somehow ended up being brought over during or after the abduction of the actress. |

Since we are talking of parallel universes it is obvious that Altair is another Earth. It is possible that Altair also had or has an Alisia of their own. Yes two versions of Alisia from two universes. Alisia is a significant name because it is Apollonius and Celiane's daughter. What if Zen/Gen and Crea/Rena? were missing a piece? That isn't just the souls of Apollo and Silvia wanting to meet again but the daughter of their past incarnations? |

I still think Mikono and Kagura are gonna be an item. Sooner than later, even... Perhaps, the "villainous" bit refers to this happening, and its consequences. Well, nothing but speculation, for now.

I like this idea and think it'd add a lot to the story if something like that happened. Or something like Mykage and Zen are each missing some piece(s), and wind up playing some chess between each other to try and collect a full set.
In re: Kagura, I can't shake the sense he's not a true resurrection, but maybe some kind of synthetic clone/android. The likely meaning of his name and the idea of "a wedding in mourning clothes" (e.g.: sacrifice ritual?) contributes to this, and there's also the way he reacted to seeing Amata's solar wings back in ep1 (it seemed like a stereotypical "wow, he's the real thing? Let's see what he's got!" reaction). In re: Mikono: I don't think Mikono's seen the version of Cayenne's vision where she turns into a skeleton, has she? If she hasn't, her reaction to Kagura makes a lot of sense: all else aside, Mikono's in love with the idea of destiny and fate and all that, and he's her future husband in that vision. And, I can easily see her insecurities leading her to ask Amata to do something he shouldn't to "prove his love". Maybe even likely, given how much talk about "forbidden" things this show has had so far (forbidden names, forbidding meetings, forbidden powers, love forbidden, etc.). Not too long until we have a new episode to pick apart. |

I can see the logic in the second part too but I can't agree with that reading of her charatcter. My reading of her so far is that based on the nature of her insecurities she's more likely to blame it on herself "I'm useless, I don't deserve to be loved by Amata-kun..." It would more likely if her insecurities lead Amata to do something crazy to prove his love, making her an "unintentional villian" in a sense that it is her passive acts, not active acts, that cause disaster.
