So I just found out that Kuroyukihime's avatar is named after a Magic the Gathering card (and the most expensive one no less) and my mind has been blown.
I kick myself for not making the connection, being a long time Magic player >_> |

Spoiler:
Back on topic, love KYH, reminds me of a less-tragic and jaded Rose from Legend of Dragoon, an old PS1 RPG. To think someone so young would have so much hardship in her life. And yet she's the one who helped an unpopular dwarven youth become a hero. Those thin threads that bind people. Sorry I didn't discover the story sooner. |

Marika Kato, main character of Mouretsu Pirates, who begins the show as an honors student in high school... And then learns that her old man is now in Davy Jones' locker, and she's inheriting his ship and his Letter of Marque. Over the course of the show she grows from being an ordinary high school student to becoming a skillful pirate (well, privateer, really) captain. Space combat, diplomacy, negotiations (financial and aggressive)... Marika blows most of this year's anime pratagonists outta the water.
KYH may be rich from her parents; Marika is well off from her own efforts, and actually managed to negotiated a guaranteed income of 100 million dollars (payable over ten years) during one of her jobs... Oh, and while her normal transport is a bicycle, her work ship is a heavy cruiser-class space ship. BTW, note that in this verse Marika is a legal pirate - such things existed, cf Sir Francis Drake-, and has the legal status of a naval reserve officer. she's not the other sort of loot and plunder pirate (her first space engagement involves goingnup against an armed merchantman that's trying to capture a ship loaded with schoolgirls). In fact most of the legal pirates seen in the show, pirate costumes aside, run their ships like well drilled Navy crews. (Probably helps for her ship that her father was a naval officer himself, before his old man kicked the bucket and he went home to carry on the family business.) Fascinating show, and needed a helluva lot more love. Anyway at the end of the day, KYH's influence has been only in the world of brain burst. Marika's influence is over interstellar distances and events.

I wonder if Black Lotus was created from a fear of being metaphorically disarmed? As in, she was constantly faced with someone who knew exactly how to manipulate her into situations where she couldn't retaliate?
From a desire to always have a way to fight back, and a determination to cut free of any entrapment, an avatar like Black Lotus could be born. (Also, the power to move about freely regardless of the terrain/environment, which is another form of entrapment, and which is countered by Black Lotus' levitation.) |
