^because nerval and the other colony(eg. xanthippe)wasn't destroyed back half a century ago, we're not entirely sure leopard is indeed 100% complete at that time. i mean we seen in episode 7, that his soul shout/anti matter cannon couldn't destroy nerval anyways. the only thing we can assume is he either lost the golden orb, or his old golden orb were broken long time ago.

It is indeed true that his Soul Shout failed to destroy Nerval, and I assume the same happened back then when Leopard destroyed the actual colony of Nerval itself (Nerval still lived). So he was probably still incomplete at that time.
I was operating under the assumption that when Leopard was built, he was at 100%. So I think that the parts he is looking for are either parts that are lost, broken or an 'upgrade'.

when i mean "wasn't destroyed" is that they're body are destroyed, but their brain(the most important part) aren't destroyed. so as long as their brain exist, then they can always come back.
when leopard react seeing xanthippe again, he acted with a lot of surprise. this indicates that her body was destroyed long time ago, like nerval.

Yea the Colony Bodies of the Brains are most certainly destroyed by Leopard in the Nerval Incident, but Nervalists managed to save the Brains themselves.
Leopard himself may have went on a rampage for some reason and without maintainence and patching up of colony walls, he had been leaking parts like what happened in episode 1. I brought a discussion with Cat Magex in the episode 10 thread, it may be spoilers for those who haven't watch episode 10, but this is the spoiler thread anyway lol: Quote:
Those who chose to be Nervalists are probably Aleida, Tsutsuji and maybe the council. Then there are those who Aleida abducted long ago, they eventually become Boxes or Boxmen. The show itself uses these 2 terms, Hako-chan is a Box, a Part, they refer to the men with boxes over their heads as 'Hako-ningen', basically Boxmen. I'm thinking that Nerval makes all Nervalists into EX-QTs, those who serve him willingly will become his agents, while those abducted as parts will work as slaves or serve as powerplants.

^if you <3 ebil, might as well accept aleida as your waifu as well.
oh and add xanthippe too in fact, whenever a evil girl comes out in the show, you can take that as your waifu as well for us just kidding but seriously, judging what happened in episode 9, you should realize something is fishy about Tsutsuji

=.= You all should realize I'm waiting for subs... *sniff*
Regardless of her ebilness, Tsutsuji is my waifu. <3 However, I WILL take Aleida and Xanthippe, but I think Xanthippe's already taken. If not I'll take Xanthippe too! Oh well, Aleida is awesome, I bet she's killer in bed all that armour, so she can be my meido next to Emilio the butler. Last edited by qmeister; 2009-03-11 at 22:48. |

Anyway, to continue the boxmen discussion that I guess I'd forgotten to...
My thoughts are that those red boxes that get put on peoples' heads are some sort of brainwashing device, basically being the first stage in the conversion to Nervalism. I'm guessing most would get put in boxes, but those with Ex-QT powers are probably used for different purposes. |

And Leopard is not happy at all and was cursing Sakura for inserting that huge Golden Gentleman Plug so forcefully, while yelling at Kazane for filling up his colony with people and parts. @Cat Magex - The red boxes being first step sounds right, seeing Itsuki's past of the mass abduction carried out by Aleida. The people are marching off with boxes over their heads, probably as a mass mind controling system to bring them to Nerval. The whole thing around Aleida is very complex, we have some connections here and there but at this point they can't make much sense.

well nerval want to enslaves humanity, so basically no human want to be a slave for someone else. so aleida and Tsutsuji are either brainwashed to be nervalist, or joined them willlingly(made deal with nerval?).
i mean if we think red boxes are mind controlling devices, and both aleida and Tsutsuji don't have them, so they have to be either brainwashed into nervalism, or joined nerval's force willingly.
