Nobody noticed Keena had a sudden "possession" moment for a bit there, then snapped out of it?

[Dahak86]

mmhh, You just made me remember what Divine said on RC -> http://randomc.net/2010/06/05/ichiba...no-daimaou-10/

Spoiler for keena/divine:

The semi-saving grace is that Keena has shown signs that she’s either connecting with the gods or being used as a surrogate for them. I guess a nice twist would be that Keena ends up embodying the very god Suhara that Akuto is trying to kill right now.

um, interesting theory/prediction.
but I'd go for split-personality, as I mentioned in my previous post.

Uhm... probably the first thing I noticed the entire ep?

I've been looking out for these moments since episode 01

It sounds like an interesting theory... if we didn't know that already

She's a containment vessel, but how the containment happens Yamato apparently forgot to mention it, her birthday is still effectively ongoing, so when she get's her new body may still be in progress, but for the very same God who tried to kill her suddenly use her to denounce war and boomboxes?

It would make sense if we imagine Keizou got his orders from Yamato, but Korone pretty much confirmed he got his orders from Suhara, or rather they wouldn't do anything to stop it. Another believable method would be if these gods really aren't cooperating with each other, and that only one of them has using her, but at this point Suhara using her, if he placed the order of a Assassination Burger with a large side, he might as well possess to kill

By the way Macht in german means "power" or "strength", it wouldn't surprise me if they used the german word, so this series is probably using that triangle god system prevalent in other mediums (power, wisdom, and Iforgottheotherone). Macht possessing Keena kinda makes sense if we think this powerful god is just tired of power-hungry wars.

Then again it makes more sense if this serious Keena is the one I speculated a ways back, the one who shares the special quality of girls like this.

They've mentioned Macht, Suhara and Koro so far, but have they said there are only these three gods?

[Zexas]

LOL I just skip all the Light novel volume and go straight for volume 5 where the infamous scene between Akuto and Junko


I'll say that I'm pretty sad...... They tried to follow it closely but. I still prefer the Light novel version alot better.

While Akuto holding Junko

A: "I didn't reliaze that you thought of me in such way"

J : "eh..?" Junko's movement stops

and then Akuto said that She's a splendid person that's why he feels very pleased (or have certain degree of like) to her

(more or less the same with anime)

Akuto actually whisper closely to her ears with sincere voice


A: "When this is all over I'll take a good care (or value) of you"

Junko face colour up as if it'd explode. Her body lose power. the word "take a good care of you" lingering on her head.

Akuto drop her gently (more or less the same with anime)

J: "ba baka when you said these kind of things I don't know what I should do anymore!" -- falling ---

They make no mention of there being only 3, with the best estimate we can come up with is that there are several. So I'm still half half on there being only 3, and there being several more than just 3.

Speaking of which... this was the other non-spoken part about Luminous Arc 2; they make no mention of the rest of the globe, despite it being natural to think there's more to the world than just this area around Constant.

[Wrath88]

Well, I'm leaning towards the more-than-three group. Given how the different worshippers come from different backgrounds, there's got to be a bunch of other gods we don't know about yet.

Hmm... Keena daki cover... not as nice as the Junko one, but ok, I guess...

Yeah, I doubt theres really only 3 gods. Whether or not they will mention it however is something else.

This is the driving force behind my opinion. There's a strong belief that there's more than 3 gods, but I doubt they'll address it in detail. The reason why I compare this to LA2 is that in that game, the player knows there's other countries besides where the game takes place, but they never go into detail of them despite the typical "I'm saving the world" type of story where, just what exactly is the rest of the world turning a blind eye to, to not even be aware the world is in danger, where for some reason only the country the game centers on only knows of?

So I'm sure there's many different cultures, with their own versions of gods, but I'll take a page from Mark Twain here and paraphrase: "The story takes place only on what we need to know, to know more would detract from the original path of the main story and it's original intention..."

But it's okay for me to wonder about what Lily's going to do during this war But, I have this funny thought lingering around my head... is there something going on between Keena and her nee-sama? It seems like these two have been having some time together... Keena's naked escapades to Fujiko's room, Fujiko calling her instead of Junko, Keena giving Fujiko a piggy-back ride, Keena and Fujiko being nice friends with Peter, etc...

A little bit extra

A: "Please forget about me"

When Akuto start saying that , Junko grasped Akuto's hand. while remained looking down, She firmy put power in that hand.

J: "Do not say these kind of things. To tell you the truth, I have declared that I abandoned my clan for you"

That's why ...... Junko looks up, She stared at Akuto's face directly. As expected Akuto also reliaze the significant of this statement and the meaning behind it......

well that's all folk


Edit: Just finish volume 5 and LOL at the end looks like the cat fight going to be intensified

[Flames]

Someone tell what is going on and who is keena with novel spoilers. Some things I don't understand in the anime.

[OkamiNoKaze]

Episode 9 was interesting, I loved Junko's talks with herself. Hmm, I'm surprised no one mentioned it, but the show is now reminding me of Scrapped Princess a little bit, Sai is the "World Breaker" in this case.

[brutalman]

I think the mods won't like spoilers for any future novels here in the anime thread, but there's a Dai Maou thread in the Manga and Light Novels forum that's just itching to get posts from people who've read the novels.

(Hint hint.)

Hey another Scrapped viewer

I had thought about it, but the thing stopping me from mentioning it was the girl being the lead but the similarities are right there, girl get's designated as the princess, it's a great burden to her, but that didn't stop her in addressing her destiny, nice series for those who did not see it yet. Bandai did a good job with the dub, one of the few ones my brothers and I agree was well done. (lol I actually bought those DVD's because of the figures, that's how you sell DVDs, include stuff you can't download!)

Back OT, heh I've so far kept my eyes off the novel posts. Maybe when this is all over I'll take a gander on them (it helps viewing this thread on my phone, what with the zoomed-out scrolling )

By the way, I was thinking, if Korone does arrive, someone's got to have activated her to do so, so I'm betting on Lily or Torii (still holding out hope those two will at least appear next ep) I do not want to see a "I broke free of the robot shackles and re-activated myself" kind of thing

[Dahak86]

just saw ep10 unc. version, and I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed... I was expecting too see Eiko's nipples in full glory, and they were mostly (conveniently) covered-up by her hairs and arms!? dam, Why did they bother to censor'em in the first place? (one was barely visible, so I'm guessing that's why ) oh, well... at least we can rejoice at ninja panties everywhere and Junko fundoshi.

@brutalman: thanks for posting LN thread. I was too lazy and busy to go search for it.

[ID555]

Damn, that's disappointing, Keena got some pretty detailed nipples in Episode 7, if I'm not wrong.

[mangatron]

Yeah I believe she did.

Really? No kidding

Sometimes I wonder what exactly it is they are censoring: angle, detail, the act, etc.

Only thing to wait for now is the DVD special

[blitz1/2]

Crap, now that you mention it. When was the last time we saw Junko's fundoshi?!

[Arashi500]

The censoring is really weird in this series, sometimes to a comical point.
