EDIT: I'd like to think that if this theory is right, that episode 16 has opened her eyes and she'll stop helping and covering for Tomoe... but that wouldn't make for a plot. If the theory is right, then we'll probably see Tomoe convincing Erstin to do one more thing, which will probably be much more painful. Last edited by Tremalkinger; 2006-01-28 at 12:19. |

In MH it was stated that if the HiME died the child and person most important to them dies too. If the child dies only the most important person dies too, and if the most important person dies only the child is effected. I don't read the manga but is there a place where the king/queen dies and the otome dies or is still alive? Rena could've been an example but she already lost her powers when the king of Windbloom died. |

Also consider that Sergey is paying Arikas tuition. I assume its from his own salary. And who pays his salary? Artai. So they can afford otome. They just havent had one graduation yet. In one of the episodes they explained how Artai tried to boost its infantry and still couldnt take on 1 otome. Which is why they want one. Otome are the symbol of a country's strength. Without one, ather countries look down on you. Or so it seems. Anyway, thats my opinion. Edit: As I checked ep4 to get info on who was paying Irena & Erstins tuition, (timeframe 15:00) I ran into something Ironic. This Tomoe hatred wouldnt have happened IF she hadnt interuptted Miya-chans questioning of Arika. Miya was asking her "Then why was someone like you..." at which point Tomoe stopped her. If she hadnt stopped her, Arika may have mentioned her mom was an Otome and may have shown them the Souten no Seigyoku. Question answered. End of jealousy. So in effect, the true piece of incompetent garbage was Tomoe herself for unknowingly making the biggest blunder ever. Last edited by Souten no Seigyoku; 2006-01-28 at 16:41. |

During the scene where black envelopes were being handed out...the one where one is being received BY a red sleved coral. The shadow of the person shows that the person has hair that is...spiked out and downward or something. When I compared the corals' hairs...I came to the conclusion that the recipient could either be:
A: Irina B: Erstin I am 98% doubting that it is Tomoe because of the shape of her hair. ANYONE else wager a guess on who the spiked end hair coral could be? |

Whoever receive that letter has got to be someone we seen before 1. becuase it is too late to introduce more characters. They are introdcuing enough characters already. 2. Blackshadows like that usually mean someone we seen already while it might not be either irnia or erstin it will defintely be someone in the coral classs we seen before.

Tomoe is garbage? Well she was called "junk" in another show so ....XD
As to why Shiho become Floren Otome, remember that Kasu jerk stole Akane from Floren? Well in order to prevent OMFG war, Katia (sp?) decided to give Shiho up to Floren as an apology. So basically Otomes train for their sponser normally, but can be traded like rice and spice in the foreign avisor screen (civilazation, anyone? XD). Shiho seems to like the deal though, it seems Floren gives her a pretty good salary, I guess. What a traitor!! Just wait till war breaks out and the Floren king order her to kill her own family. BTW I can't wait till next week when the Zerg start killing everyone. And unfortunately for the Otomes, no one know how to psi storm....Well maybe Natuski can cast some blizzard, but I doubt Midori and her pet will let her channel for long... (I really need to quit Wow) |

Also the fact that the the shadow is that of the right side of the Otome. Even if it was the hair it can't be Irina or Erstin or Tomoe. 1 - Erstin doesn't exactly have spikey hair 2 - Irina's hair is shorter and doesn't cover her shoulder, plus, her hair curves more 3 - Tomoe doesn't have spikey hair THis is worse than that time when everyone thought that Erstin was in league with Tomoe. I'm not saying the shadow isn't Tomoe but the shadow is just ambigious. Anyone can tell that the shadow is that of the complete right side of the Otome and none of the girls' hairs go that far across. |

Considering how the shadow has a clear bell outline below the "hair" thats either one hell of a mutant otome or gee, I dunno, a DRESS!
It can be any coral otome. Its obvious that something is not quite right with Erostin, but I would say this is taking it too far. Irina just makes no damn sense and none of the other known corals are really prominent enough to matter. My guess its another red herring and it will be someone unknown. PS: one last time, because I am still confused. What exactly are Shwartz and Aswald and which is the one seemingly working with Nagi? |

So far several otome have demonstrated weapons similar to MH. Nao's spidery strings for instance. So maybe Natsuki has a gun-like weapon that can shoot down multiple targets. Or they can have special moves that kill a ton of slaves at once as seen in both OPs. Edit: Shwartz (Shibaratsu) is the group working with Nagi. Aswald is Midoris group |

Looking back at the episode scenes...it could be a distorted view of the robe frills... then again I can't tell for sure. Ff You look at 2:29 where it shows the shadow...it's abit hard to make whether it's the frills or the person's hair.
Also, to whoever mentioned Irina doesn't have spiked. Look at scene 5:00-5:10 where it shows Irina and Erstin side BY side. You can see Erstin's hair is spiked downward abit. And Irina has that spike thing going down as well...cept hers is higher. I tried getting a screen cap from the episode but for some reason whenever I tried to save it...it becomes a a black screen |

I said Rena COULD'VE been an example but she already lost her powers. Her king was killed yet she was still alive at the time, she hid the baby. The king was already dead then (probably). Their contract was already nullified but it's the closest case to a Otome being alive and their contractor. |

It would seem that only when an otome goes into battle mode is when the feeling of pain is transfered from otome to master. Cause you see Arika gets hurt all the time normally and it has no effect on mashiro at all. Just a theory, which is probably true :P

For everyone argueing about the "shadow" and who it might be let me ask you all of one thing: Where is her shoulder if that's the shadow of her hair?
If that's someone's hair then they are the scrawniest person alive. It's the bow on the right side of the uniform. |
