Also, the official website has updated info on the main characters. I guess that's how we know Izumo's mom's name.
Here's the old info of our three main chars: Spoiler for :
Here's the new info Spoiler for :
The most I can understand is the first sentence in Zessica's intro - mysterious sexy girl. I'd really appreciate it if someone can provide a more detailed summary. |

Yeah, I've mentioned before how it seems like the show has to go through lots of convolutions just to keep Amata away from Cayenne, and especially to keep Cayenne away from Mikono...seemingly just to avoid how unnatural it'd be for them to interact "normally" and not discuss any of the looming issues you'd think they'd be discussing under the circumstances.
In terms of naming: it's either a clue there's something "off" about that family (half expecting this, honestly), but at the same time being set 12,000 years in the future gives a lot of leeway for such diversity. I like it, actually, the weird names help keep things interesting. |

So from that new updated info:
Kagura info: Jin and Kagura are childhood friends Mikage was his mentor Zessica info: Zessica's element power is extensive: she can shoot bolts of psychic force, extend extra-sensory perception through her exposed skin, and use telekinesis to warp nearby objects. So is Amata the human/Shadow Angel hybrid???? I can't translate the other characters info??? Can anyone translate them??? |

Color me confused but I'm pretty sure Zessica's powers had nothing to do with getting naked-sense-incoming-missiles episode... unless one of her powers is also the ability to transfer her powers to Amata and Mikono (no such ability exists).
Her power, while named different things by different people, seems to actually be fairly consistent. Its element (as in fire, earth, wind, water element) manipulation/distortion that can manifest in a fiery palm, (air) tornadoes, and (classic D&D earth) might or the warping of metal. Wouldn't really call it Sylvia... that's really being monopolized by Mikono in more ways than one.

... And there's been little to nothing in the story to go on for anyone but Mikono being Sylvia even if her power is not the same but still reminiscent of what she *made into her greatest gift* in the original story. That and, like I've said before, if Zessica was anyone you'd think Fudo would make mention of it or at least allude to it... or seemingly care. We've Amata with powers ~like~ Apollo's and I think we have a similar duality going on with Zessica. The only odd ball is Kagura... unless reverse is, if we take the same logic as Sylvia/Mikono translation of powers, the power that Apollo wanted or some such. (though, I honestly think that Kagura's power was chosen simply to be Mikono's opposite. The power to create and the power to undo, I don't think any further thought was put into it aside from Rule of Cool.)

So basically, you think that Zessica can't have a power like Silvia's because she's not Silvia's reincarnation? :3 I still don't get why you're so certain that Mikono is the only one who could be Silvia's/Celiane's reincarnation. The big twist in Genesis was that 1) Celiane reincarnated into two people not one, 2) Solar Wings was in fact Aquarion and not Apollo/Sirius/anyone. Why do you expect Evol's reincarnation patterns to be any less weird and complicated? ^^;;
Also, to be honest your theory sounds over-thought to me. (Btw I'm watching that scene but I see no tornado...? The "tornado" came before Fudou started his little speech.) Psychokinesis is a broad term but so far that's what Zessica seems to be doing: enegry blast, distorting metal, both done by her mind. Also, officially her power was called "impact" (衝撃) and "distortion" (捻れ). Neither implies the connection to the elements that you described. Btw, Amata's powers are not like Apollo's, Apollo had no wings and couldn't fly. And Kagura's power is not "undo", it's "reverse." He reverses stuff: unscrews the screws, reverses laser beams (or... whatever it is that he does that makes them bounce off him), says he can reverse a person's blood stream. |

As for the tornado, iirc, the sequence is the ground glowing, dirt rising, and then a tornado, which fit with Fudo's line-up of saying: Amata's power of flight, Zessica's distortion, and so on. Quote:
Undo is a generic form of "un-action" (as do is the generic form of the action verb and can be replaced by any other action verb that is more specific if so desired, and you can even go as far as "un-state" where state is replaced with some state of being), and it means exactly what you wrote: un(the prefix) ~ the reveral of the action/state to which it is attached. Unscrew is to reverse the screw. You can un-anything so long as it existed prior to you applying un. As I said, Mikono can create while Kagura can undo. Neither ability can work without something having been there in the first place: Mikono cannot connect people with no attachment, Kagura cannot undo an action that has not occurred.
