In the anime the AST fights effectively (sort of) against the spirits. At least the sword fights seem like Origami can hold up to non-berserk Tohka. In the LN the AST incorporate the fact that they can't win in their combat doctrine. They are expressedly forbidden from directly engaging a spirit, instead they are to keep it from moving until it becomes "lost". Origami defies orders several times in order to openly fight spirits, which get her reprimanded and eventually suspended temporarily iirc. Yoshino deliberately splits her own personality to protect the people trying to kill her. This doesn't make sense without the huge power difference. Because it affects the characters. Yes, it smacks you over the face with how helpless the humans are, but that actually makes up a good deal of the character development. Hell, all of Kurumi and Yoshinos arcs are devoted to that difference in power.

Have anyone here seen the goods they've shown at the official website.
I mean wow: Spoiler for goods:
There's also seems to be something called "Dere situation" CD they seems to be giving for those who pre order the first three volume of the blu ray/DVD. There's 3 CD, each for Tohka, Yoshino and Kotori. I've listen to the snippets to the CDs, I've got to say I really need to get them. Especially the one with Shido and Tohka, Tohka's reaction with Shido touching her hair is priceless. Last edited by Iggy_Pop; 2013-04-21 at 11:04. |

^ Oh yeah, I'm really surprised she wasn't in the dere situation CD and the goods doesn't have anything highlight Kurumi. Anything by Kurumi is pure win, hopefully there will a CD for her in the future, there's still more DVD/BD volume to come after all. And if there's Kurumi fanservice goods? I'm in.

Considering how close she got to first place on the popularity poll, they'd better be giving her material focus soon. And she'd better start making the Nyantype and Megami scans.

Sorry if this has been asked before. i'm just confirming, in the newly translated 5.5 on BK, Tohka only lost to Ellen because her powers were mostly sealed by Shidou, right?
BTW, in volume 7 just what was DEM trying to accomplish by torturing Tohka? |
