yup, it seems they are not lying about Diclonius having an instinct not to harm animals, so I guess there are indeed some genetic traits that make Diclonius instinctively hostile towards humans. Hmm... even a lot of kids without guns like to play with the lives of insects and animals, I'm sure kids with a gun won't try to avoid harming animals, they will be dangerous to other people and animals alike, so I guess those Diclonius are somewhat different from just overpowered kids...

Well regular humans can have split personalities aswell, and we only have 1 brain. But it's possible that this overdeveloped part of their brain makes them more susceptible to developing a split personality, all that I have seen in the manga though was that it had to do with some sort of sixth sense. And also their vector powers, I assume.
In a way, all diclonii seem to have a mild form of split personalities, or at the least a severe mood change brought on by aggravation, which also results in some physiological changes (the evil eyes along with the killer mentality). In Lucy's case, her Nyuu personality is an escape from her regular self probably because she was trying to escape her killer mentality and her personalities were primarily split between these different states of mind. Still, in the anime Lucy did show remorse as her normal self in the end, I wonder if that meant both her personalities were reunited. As for Mariko, I didn't really notice a split personality, only Lucy really had one? (but I don't know the manga beyond chapter 8, unfortunately) By the way, I was checking the last episode to see what Lucy's state of mind (the eyes) were like when she was talking to Kouta, and she said "I was born to kill humans". That seems to confirm this genetic trait, it's an instinct they are born with. The future looks very bleak if the number of diclonii will skyrocket in 5 years as Lucy says, unless they can somehow overcome this urge to kill. Last edited by Trax; 2004-10-26 at 19:17. |

I only have the anime to go on, and a very limited part of the manga.
The knock to the head was one of the things I thought of too (see my first post on the previous page), but I thought that was only the catalyst for the split personality. Your explanation makes sense though. I read that that confrontation between Lucy and Kouta had a much more natural result (the semi-forgiveness in the last episode was pretty hard to comprehend), so I'm curious about how the manga handles the story from that point on. Unfortunately, I won't be able to read that any time soon. :/ |

I finally got my R2 DVD today. Most important note is that the show was made with 16:9 aspect ratio and they just cut off the edges making it 4:3 for TV broadcast. That just makes the DVD more worth it, since you virtually get more. And secondly, even though it aired on AT-X, they still censored out some parts of it. Why they did that, I have no idea. I don't think they were any worse than other scenes in it.
First example, Kisaragi's 'wrong time, wrong location' Spoiler for After all, it was edited:
And second example, Bandou's "Nor glasses or contacts will help you now' Spoiler for This one MIGHT be slightly worse:

I know just what you mean! I hated seeing that happen to poor, cute, Nana. ;_; I'd love to see a series of short, 3-5 minute episodes featuring Nana, having a happy life and fun at school and engaging in all kinds of zany antics with Mayu. : D On that note, here's a comic of Nana getting hurt. ^^; More here: Nana's Everyday Life ! : ) Here's another with Henrietta and Rico, too ...
