The villages are secret as far as I am aware; and their security requires they remain such. If anyone with power from the outside world ever comes they would be defenseless (because of the whole can't kill humans pact). The outsider on the other hand would be completely free to do as he pleases. As the previous episodes show the cats only seem to be effective against people who've been hypnotized and even then it has its limits.

Even if there were a chance of other humans living beyond the lands controled by the village I'd imagine Maria and Mamoru would be smart enough not to advertise where they came from.
So again why can't they just be left alone? If you ask me the only thing that will put the village in any real danger is if they keep hunting Maria and Mamoru forcing them to defend themselves.

For what it's worth, all that's needed is one psychopath and a little blood and either of them would spill their entire life.

It seems more likely to me that the education committee has been growing more and more paranoid after the incident with Shun, and decided to get rid of group 1 (which they were aware was special) starting with the weakest link, Mamoru. He was the true target and they failed to kill him. After learning Saki and the others went after him, they probably intended to use this opportunity to get rid of them all and kill four birds with one stone, but I don't think they were targeting Saki in particular. Choosing to dispose of Mamoru was a big mistake, and I think it will come back to bite them in the ass later on. Saki's foreboding words about Maria still linger in my mind. It's not that easy for two kids to live all alone in the wilderness, especially when they come from such a sheltered society. The environment of the current world seem very hostile too. Anything could happen to them, and the possibility that one of them turns into a fiend is not negligible (imagine if Mamoru got killed, how would Maria react?). And that's how their society works: they dispose of kids the moment they show the slightest hint of straying off the path. They can't make an exception of Maria and Mamoru. It simply goes against their principles. The rules say nobody goes outside of the holy barrier, so they have to bring them back no matter what.

And as for why Mamoru and Maria are dangerous, I think Tomiko made it pretty clear? They have to account for every single person. You can't exactly have them running around unchecked. Plus one of them is already unstable and at risk of becoming an akki or gouma; and both are able to resist mindwipe. To make it worse, they're a boy and a girl: they can produce offsprings that would be raised outside society with its rules and ways to help people control their power. |

I'm going to have to withdraw my stance on this debate at this point since I can't find anyway to counter this statement. Now that I think about it this is probably what Tomiko ment when she told Saki about not being able to fully grasp the danger both Maria and Mamoru posed.

So the hypnosis on Group 1 is weaker than on everyone else? I wonder if that means Maria and Mamoru will find it easier to eventually harm humans.
But what a surprise to find out the entire group was an experiment. Doesn't look like the experiment is working out too well so far. The "we can kill anyone under 17" policy doesn't sound like it would work too well with that experiment. I'd expect more Fiends and Karma Demons in that group compared to a totally uncontrolled population. I mean, talk about stress. "We'll mind control you...but only a little bit! Just enough to make you realize there are strange and dangerous secrets about the village." Genius. Quote:

Anyway, now I know why she's so damn calm, she's seen enough and lived enough to have that extreme sense of calm no matter what. Also it seems we have another danger: loose humans without the extreme brainwashing all the other humans have. . . that explains a lot of things, especially why "Kid x" who took shuns place couldn't really remember that he wasn't a part of the group like the group did. I enjoyed this episode, shit actually happened. this and in combination with the last two eps I marathoned made it great. I think once the anime is over, I'll need to marathon it again, it's probably gonna be one of those "big picture" type shows. |

Episode 14
Hohoho... Doing "it" on the outside in the snow... Where are Satoru and Mamoru during "that" time.... God. Anyway, I question whether "grandma" is really Saturo's "grandma"... 267? WTF? The anime is way far from being Sci-fi. It's complete fantasy.. Last edited by NoemiChan; 2013-01-06 at 04:09. |

They are killable, seen them taken down by poison and blade before remember? Godlike they are not. The real threat at present comes from the death feedback more than anything else. Back in the modern era, it's easy to see how the main threat then would be the unpredictablity of the relatively new phenomenon of insane PK users

(Also, I wonder why nobody so far commented on how cleverly Tomiko manipulates Saki... for better or for worse. She gained Saki's trust and she just talked her into locating Maria and Mamoru and bringing them back to where they're in danger. =Well, they're in danger everywhere, but anyway.) Oh, she promised to protect them, but how far can we trust her on that? For all Saki knows, she would bring the two back, they would be executed, Saki and Satoru would get mindwiped, and by the time they realized something was amiss, like they did with Shun, it would be too late and they wouldn't fully remember anyway. Either that, or they would be left alive but mindwiped very, very thoroughly...) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2013-01-06 at 08:24. |
