Justification for the Eclipse decision to go with Randel Oland: The manga.
It's the old problem when normal Roman-language names need to be transferred to Japanese. No matter what you do, there's a good reason against it. |

All right.
Here is the final version of my little tribute to this new serie : Youtube animemusicvideos.org Based on the two first episode, I give my personnal vision of Alice (Aris ? ) and Oland's (Orlando ?!? ) relation. On "Starlight" from Muse.

i had theory about the effects of the blue light latern that i wanted to share im not sure if someone touched on this already or not but i didnt see it mentioned.
Is it possible that the blue light is a single for self hypnosis? The ATT were conditoned or brainwashed that whenever they see the blue light from lantern it would turn off the parts of the brain that regulate fear and reason leaving them with only one goal the destroy the target. Also at the same time stimuating the adrenial gland therefore not feeling pain. This would explain the almost blank look in their eyes when they beserk mode. Their have been studies on controlling mind sets and chemicles in the brain using a key word or phrase that would activate the desired conditioning. Some of the key examples are hypnosis for smokers. Where a person is hypnotized to do or crave something else when they see or smell a tabacco.

Another strange fact about his powers appears in episode 1 ... He used his mantle to protect himself from the tank's hit, and then seemed afraid when the bad guy shot at him multiple times with an ordinary handgun ... My own explanation so far : His lantern contains some sort of radioactive matter, which reacts with some chemicals in his body, generating a force field protecting him from hard hits. But it cannot withstand light hits, like gun bullets, or fire (that's why he used his mantle to protect himself from impact's heat). It would be make him a real anti-tank trooper, and also a weak infantry fighter. Maybe the explanation for the destruction of his platoon ? His psycho-face would be due to side effects of the chemicals, and the psychological consequences of numberous fights (or slaughters ) from the battlefield.

He wasn't afraid of the handgun per se, but the fact that the villian held the antidote hostage. Note that after Alice grabbed the antidote from Wolf, Oland immediately blew the guy to kingdom come.

It really seemed to me he tried to prevent some vital damages by protecting his chest with his forearms ... But maybe he wasn't in "Tank buster" mode anymore, so his natural instincts (as fear of Pain) came back.

A soldier who knows no fear has gone mad. There is always an element of fear. It is just a matter of discipline on whether you control the fear, or the fear controls you. Oland does not seem to be a mad person. Notice how he used his jacket to shield himself from the acid round. He is STILL thinking while fighting the tank. I do not know what the lantern bestows upon him specifically, but it does not grant him damage immunity, as evidenced by his numerous scars( not to mention the injuries he got in Ep02). Oland is very disciplined and determined when his lantern is turned on. He does not turn into an unthinking hulk. Cheers.

I like to think that the catalyst as it were is not the blue light but in effect the substance that emits the blue light, god knows what it is. And the blue light is not useless, it scares the hell out of the tank troopers --> reload times go up, aiming accuracy goes down, etc etc. Oh, could someone explain what the (1024x576) Episode 1 release is about? Thanks! Last edited by Lost; 2006-10-18 at 07:45. |

my theory would be that orland has had some chemicals pumped into him and the light from the lantern activates/stimulates these chemicals in such a way it affects his brain and he going into "hypnotic" anti tank killing mode...
edit: quietly w8ting for ep 3 to finnish DL
