Doesn't that mean that Hikari is unfriendly towards the ED? Edited: Arrggghh! Forgot to close the spoiler tag! Last edited by nephilim; 2004-06-09 at 00:41. |

hey Nephilim you forgot the / in that spoiler
Ok. she's I'm guessing the universal eraser or at least for Earth's quadrant. If something seems to not look right, rub rub (no pun on the puni puni), and start over. The EDs only seem to react to the presence of Evil Hikari even though I may need to re-watch ep1 to be 100% sure. All the other times they've attacked has been when my sweetie pie makes herself known. akari was attacked by the sea serpent due to the fact that she's 1/2 of the whole. Nephilim right about the coolest part in the series so far in his spoiler (when it gets fixed ). I haven't seen ep10 yet but I think that I get to see my lovely alot more. I also think that Jennifer is waiting for the next extinction. she was hoping that she would have a chance to grow-up and make an attempt to stop it. Oh yea...side note: the seiyou for Jennifer-san is funny....I just wished that I knew what she was saying. I also didn't know that Ryu/Ryou was done by a female...no wonder he can pull off being calm, collected, and sincere. |

This could go either way; it could also mean that evil Hikari is more evil than we thought. Hikari knows she has control over Takeru, but she wants more than just him following her orders... she want total dedication and devotion, which she's gotten by putting herself in false danger over and over again. Actually, if u think about Ep1, you can easily see that Hikari was never in any real trouble; Takeru Devilman didn't save her... she killed the ED herself. |

Hikari = Extinction Catalyst - the initiator and controller of the extinction event; Takeru = Extended Definition - along with his fellow EDs, the other monsters, earth's defenders. Quote:
Of course Hikari is in control of the situation. She can blow any one of the monsters into vapor; that is, her "evil" side can. Incindentally, the "good" Hikari is a result of the Extinction Catalyst's interaction with Takeru while in human form. Quote:
Both Hikari and Akari used to be, and were for the previous 6 extinctions, 1 entity. It was the "Extinction Catalyst's" encounter, in it's light form, with Takeru and Ryou, with their hearts, which caused it to split. Lazarus |

As for my confusion, I just rewatched Jennifer's report on the last part of EP.08... they didn't talk about the Catalyst, just that ED were signs of the extinction and they were highly offensive creatures. I guess I just got confused. It does make sense now that they mentioned that Takeru's defending his enemy insteading of fighting it... it was Hikari they're talking about. I guess I'm reading way too much into KonoMini.... maybe my expectation were too high. It did turn out to be pretty staight forward... the plot where almost exactly what I've predicted at first.

E10 thoughts, etc.
First of all, reposted from my LJ, two e10 quotes I found hilarious:
Jennifer, in the episode opening narration: "It'll go the way it should, and only that way." [Which is to say that if Gainax decides to kill the world (...again...), they'll bait you with fanservice for ten episodes...and then joyfully kill the world] Takeru: "Are you saying that Hikari is a goddess of death bent on destroying the world?" Jennifer: . .. ...yup ^^ (which is at least what she *meant*, even if she didn't quite say it. Also, twice in two series now, they've used the term shinigami to refer to a major character. Though granted, when Suguru accused Mahoro of being 't3h hottest shinigami ever', he was drunk off his ass and with a hole in his chest... --- Anyways, so e10. *Loved* the version of the OP that played during the e11 episode preview. Makes me think of one of the versions of the theme in Saikano. Which makes sense ^^ Can't wait for the OST. As far as the actual episode goes, though, Gainax gets *massive* amounts of respect for coming through with characters that aren't perfect, that are very much far from perfect. We sort of know Takeru is a bastard, but I think in the standard tradition of anime, we expected him to somehow grow or become better. Or that it wouldn't matter. But it does: when he is about to kiss Hikari, it's not because he actually *loves* her, it's because he's been told this is what "people" do at times like these. He expects one word or one action to suddenly make things right, or that Hikari is somehow here to *judge* whether Earth should be allowed to live. Except one word or one action won't change anything, and Hikari's actions are already pre-determined. Liked the symbolic use of the motorbike, thougn not quite sure *what* is will be symbolic of at the end, after all the episodes play out. And as far as predictions go, what I think will happen in the last two episodes will be that Takeru himself will sort of put together his disillusionment with 'people' in general (as per the first thing he says in the series) and with *specific* people, that is, his mother, and will actually welcome the destruction/cleansing... So, yeah, only two more episodes, but *so good*! |
