Holy Shakamoly!

Spoiler for your answers:

Episode XXIV
- Genjimaru, the almighty honorable soldier of the Evinkuruga tribe, realizing he had committed many sins for assisting Kuuya in her bloody desire to unify the continent (so that her country would finally be at peace), left Kunnekamun to seek Hakuoro's aid. You know that Genjimaru had signed a contract with Dii - power for servitude. But servitude comes with a heavy price, and so Genjimaru was asking Dii to back down from the contract, while Dii was asking Genjimaru to maintain it. But since he broke the contract, you witnessed his punishment.
- Kuuya is part of the contract per sae. But when the contract was signed, it was during the reign of a previous ruler of Kunnekamun. This was part of Genjimaru's reasoning for going against Dii, that the contract was nullified a long time ago. Suffice to say, Kuuya was a pawn to Genjimaru and Dii. Dii used the Kuuya and her country to attain a higher glory through warfare (as is explained in the next episode); Genjimaru assisted in that attainment.
- Nobody was "saved" from Genjimaru's sacrifice as I recall. The price for breaking the contract was his life and the obliteration of Kunnekamun. But Genjimaru can live in the afterlife sin-free. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
- Mutsumi didn't take Kuuya's voice away. That was a result of a psychological breakdown on Kuuya's part after seeing her loyal guardian and her country in bloody ashes.


Episode XXV
- Why shouldn't they see each other before they go back to sleep? Because Dii's not finished attaining his high praise of his followers. His mission is not yet complete!
- Eruruu is worrysome for Hakuoro's sake. Although bound to the contract, the events of the series has caused her to fall in love with him. The fact that he has released her from the contract suggests that he is going to transform and fight Dii but he ain't not coming back. If you heard this, you'd be desperately worried too.
- You might say that. Dii obtained a more manevolent side of the half, Hakuoro retaining (or otherwise always retaining the benevolent side). It is far too general, however, to simply say "good" and "evil".

Episode XXVI
- Well I told you the timeline already, so it should be pretty obvious who Mutsumi is. She is regarded the Onkami's original ancestor and one of the first "new" humans to be born on planet Earth. Remember her designation No. 63? She knows who she comes from (in other words, who she shares DNA with) and as a result, has a strong attachment to Hakuoro/Iceman. However, in the past, Iceman rejected her for Mikoto. This thought presumably led her to follow Dii instead. But the wishes of her father is her wish as well, she believes. Call it an Electra Complex. As long as Hakuoro exists - evil or good - Mutsumi will be there to protect him no matter what happens. She is also very dangerous as you saw, with telekinetic powers and a link to a forgotten weapon-satellite in Earth's orbit.
- Nope! The scientist who let Hakuoro and Mikoto escape is never heard from again after he done his deed. He probably received swift punishment from his superiors as he predicted would happen.
- Urutorii had always known about Hakuoro. She's not as clueless as the rest. There are a number of hints that link Hakuoro to Witsarunemitea (the mask, for example). Urutorii probably just saw it faster than most.
- This is a complicated question. You might say Eruruu didn't know Hakuoro wasn't human as late as episode 22 in the anime. But in the game, you could (emphasis on could) regard Eruruu to have always known since the very beginning. Which one you want to take depends on you and how you saw the series.
- Eruruu is NOT Mikoto. Eruruu is presumed to be a decendant of Mikoto but there is no evidence to justify a blood tie. References of their link is based solely on how similar they look. The baby that Iceman and Mikoto had could have been disected or it may have been left behind in the care of others. Once again, there's no way to tell since we never see it again. (I go into this in great depth in my Overall Series Discussion thread)
- Dorii and Guraa serving their parents' wishes? That's the first I heard of that. There's no canon reference to their parents at all. Perhaps you misheard something. = |
- The Av Kamus are, in the game, the suits of armor used to recover Iceman and Mikoto. It's unfortunate that the anime didn't portray this important fact. Once man was extinct, Dii supposedly got hand of the Av Kamu units and gave them to the country of Kunnekamun to make the country powerful and to further his goals.
- Touka and Karura were running away after trading their own soldiers for sake (which made their soldiers hella mad).

Miscellaneous
- Mutsumi sealed him in rock (ever notice why Yuzuha said Hakuoro had that soil smell?). "Seal" could mean anything, though. Just use your imagination. The lab was located where Onkamiyamukai is, as they declared it their responsibility to preserve the ancient land where man was first created.
- It begins with Iceman. His DNA was sampled to create various human augments. When the lab was destroyed, surviving augments fled the lab and populated the entire continent. They're all in one way or another related to Iceman - fox, wings, cats, bunnies, you name it.
- Hakuoro IS Witsarunemitea. The other half that the country of Kunnekamun have faith in is manifested in Dii. Makes clear?
