So are those level markers denoters of your powers or what skills you have available or is it something else? I also think that part of what is making beet so powerful is he's got the 5 sagas inside him. Kinda like Naruto with the Kyubi, same idea, but different application.

Shouta · 2004-10-31, 23:45

They denote level of the person at hand. Powers are probably gained proportionate to learning and level (i.e. need to be a certain level before you can memorize another spell). There hasn't been much spell learning in the manga thus far though. Generally, Vandel Busters only have one Saiga a piece because they're the weapons that embody them. Beet is different though because he was given Saiga as opposed to earning one for himself.

Lord Raiden · 2004-11-01, 10:30

Yeah, he's got 5 I believe, doesn't he? Plus one he'll probubly earn for himself. 6 saiga is insane. hehe. No vandel would have a chance against him.

The easiest thing to do would just be to goto one of the group's sites and check if the project was dropped. Anime-Keep's web site maintains it's a current project (check "Active Projects" under projects), but of course, with the number of projects they have going, you have to prioritize somehow. Just wait and it'll eventually come out.

lamer_de · 2004-11-09, 16:46

There, episode 04 released...

Btw, it's against the rules of Animesuki to ask when the next ep will be out, but of course you knew that already ^_^

CU,

-Pulls hair out- Gaaaaaaaaah! It feels like every episode is 5 minutes long.

Ero-Senpai · 2004-11-10, 22:38

well lamer, i never asked when the next episode was coming out i asked if they plan on continueing the series which is not against the rules, but you should know that alrdy

Shouta · 2004-11-15, 16:17

Beet's Saiga situation is abnormal heh. None of the Saiga he uses is actually his own. So, it begs the question of whether or not he'll lose them and gain his ultimate Saiga (i.e. his own) or if he'll stick to using all 5 throughout the manga series. Knowing the writers though, he'll probably lose them and gain his own towards the end of the series.

gtx · 2004-11-18, 10:55

This series is kinda predictable isn't it? Emphasizing on the rules of the game and applying into the series... Kinda reminds me of Ragnarok on this aspect.

I have read the newest of the manga series (which is quite ahead of the anime) and truthfully speaking it has yet to impress me. It's the usual fight==>get stronger==>meet stronger enemies===>becomes stronger===> gain more comrades===>meet stonger enemies again until the final boss. It's one big cycle happening all over again. Kinda regret buying the manga series.

However, i'm willing to give it more time to impress. i think every generation needs a cool "hero vs bad guys, light against darkness" series. Before this there was dragon quest (and perhaps a few more others) which wasn't so bad. But having seen Dragon quest, this series seems repeatitive.

It's a slightly above average series.. i hope it grows to something more spectacular!!!

rman0099 · 2004-11-21, 22:44

Personally, i think beet's natural saiga is the same as Zennon's. In the second episode Zennon said "Naturally sleeping alot means....Sould he have it too? That power?" I think he was refering to his own ability to use the excellent blade. So, in essence, Beet already has his saiga. And if not, maybe the writers will make him have some other "legendary saiga" that they'll pull out for dramas sake. I hope its not the latter

Hsiehinator · 2004-11-22, 02:43

any one know wah happened to ep 5.. ? it was released buh i dun c it anymore anyone know y?

jpwong · 2004-11-22, 03:11

Well, I read this message while I was in their IRC channel earlier
[19:24:06] <A-K|Belldandy> ** NOTICE: Beet 05 pulled, the file hasn't pass final checking yet. **

So I'm assuming that the file was accidentally released before QC finished with it.

I think when he says that, he's refering to the symbol of the strongest buster, the saiga. Not nessessarily his own since it looks like each person has a unique saiga. I think it's Excellion blade, Excellent blade doesn't sound quite right.

Shouta · 2004-11-22, 17:19

I've always translated it as the Excelsion Blade myself although I can't recall the Katakana at the moment.

That said, the series is fairly typical Shounen material (in the fight genre). The same can be said about Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken. However, in a genre that's filled to the brim with such titles, what really defines a series is the journey itself rather than the structure of the journey. It's what made Dai no Daibouken so good as well as The Emblem of Roto. It should be noted that DnD didn't really pick-up until the early teens for tankouban.

As for the Saiga situation, knowing the author and the general genre rules, it is more than likely that the Excelsion Blade is just a placeholder until the hero overcomes a trial to earn his ultimate weapon which truly belongs to the hero. The E-Blade is Zenon's Saiga and it would bust genre conventions if he kept that (or all 5 of them) as his own throughout the series).

Lord Raiden · 2004-11-22, 23:53

Since I don't read the manga, this is probubly a stupid question, but does the manga go kinda like how the anime is going in respect to fights? IE talk, talk, talk, talk, small fight, talk, talk, talk, talk, small fight, talk, kick some tail, talk, talk, talk, small fight, stare, stare, small fight, etc.

It seems to take forever to get through one fight sequence. Of course that's just my opinion.

Trax Rock beats scissors Join Date: Jul 2004	Spoiler for ep4: Mystery of Beet's level revealed at the end, and ofcourse he has an added advantage of being able to use all the Saigas. He'll have a tougher fight ahead of him against Mugain, but looks like he'll go on the road and form his little vandel buster gang after that. Poala still can't talk to Beet long without calling him an idiot, but at least she's a bit more understanding now. And I assume she goes along with him (considering the opening 'n all), I wonder if that will leave the village unprotected though. Well he did leave all that money which they can also use to hire busters.
