I think that was for waste disposal. My impression was that there were some type of feeding tubes that she drank liquid nourishment and water from.

[Leon_Lelouch]

Is that really the end??
What happened with the Director General??
Was he get killed by Lucy?

[Reno]

I dunno.... I really don't think it is, otherwise that'd make that last scene on the bridge utterly poinltess. But there are a lot theories that it might be Nyu, and only Nyu, and Lucy's dead forever. We had an argument a few pages back about it.

ok im just gona leave the omg is that lucy/nyu at the end ??? and question about that clock that just sudden works .... i mean huh!!!??? why would they make that clock work all the sudden what meaning does it have? i was thinking that it is the representation of Nyu/Lucy fixing the matter~symbolising her relationship with kouta maybe??? any thoughts??

[Generic Asian Guy]

I do think it's Lucy. Just watch episode 1, and you'll see what I mean

The Mariko arc in the manga was very different, and I think better, than the anime, and it ended with them thinking that Lucy was dead and only Nyu remained.

Spoiler:

Lucy was fighting Mariko when Mariko exploded (Lucy had destroyed the remote control so the timer couldn't be reset) and her horns were blown off. Kurama told Nana that when the horns were blown off Lucy died and all that was left was a shell. He let Nana take the shell, Nyu, back to the Maple Inn. Then, after she left, he put a gun under his chin and pulled the trigger.
At the start of the next arc, six months later, Nyu is a fully functioning adult and, when they show a closeup of the side of her head, the horns are starting to grow back.

Are ok when thats explains alot thanks, after reading what you said, i must agree that the manga ending was better then the anime since it actually made sense (ie why did lucy go and get shot after resolving her issue with Kouta which was the thing that kept her going after 8 years) with that said maybe i should read the manga now lol

[Reno]

You heard her in episode 6 didn't you? "I don't have any right to be with you." Although.... Kouta didn't want her to go. I dunno, maybe she thought she would bring danger if she lives with them. Or... I think she wanted to die throughout the whole series, and now she's finally apolagized to Kouta, she can finally do it.

[Taricitous]

You heard her in episode 6 didn't you? "I don't have any right to be with you."

imo she said that BECAUSE she doesnt want to hurt Kouta again like before when she losted it or maybe because of what Kouta said on the train, telling her to stop? (which she went and continue to kill lots of people anyways)

Although.... Kouta didn't want her to go

that is true, however the reason behind him not wanting go could of been the fact that he had such influence on Lucy, he could of said that of felt that way as a method to control/help her with her lust for blood, although its just a theory of mine, personally i hope he felt that way because of his feelings FOR Lucy/Nyu

maybe she thought she would bring danger if she lives with them

but she told Nana to live with them yes? wouldnt Nana be endangering them also if she stayed with them, i know Lucy is alot more important and a higher superior target for the Institute, however since the general director is such a (IMO) bastard, i get the feeling that it would want to remove the 'threat' of a diclonius in the society, as long as the institute is aware of the possibility that a diclonius is NOT eliminated or kept in their lab.

I think she wanted to die throughout the whole series

i dont think lucy 'wanted' to die, its just that shes afraid of what she will become the Lucy we have today with the mass killing and the such, that is why she asked Kouta to kill her if she did all that.

the person that should die is that lunatic Bando, seriously he have issues.... shame Lucy didnt kill him tho

[incube]

Just finished watching this series... the only thing that kept me watching it till the end was the plot.... the brutality and the nude scenes were just gross....
Said that i would like to ask something about the end since i didnt read the manga; what is the meaning of Lucy returning and the clock starting again?
I have some theories in mind but since this is a kinda old series, there must be some conclusion about the ending already.

The reason why Lucy cant go on living is because she was the first one and the only one that can transmite the virus. That is why they call her the "queen bee" and thus her natural instinct to kill humans. The rest of her kind, like Nana, are just dangerous by themselfs and they can actually control their powers.

That part isn't in the manga. Kouta didn't see any fighting or get his memory back until the next Lucy capture attempt. Lucy lost her horns when Mariko exploded and they thought that, without horns, the Lucy personality was dead. Nana took Nyu back to the Inn.

Lucy was not born with a natural instinct to kill humans. That came from how she was treated in the orphanage and Kakuzawa is the reason she grew up there. without him she would have been raised by her mother, with friends and family. There would have been no vector virus diclonius. I think that the virus was to insure that true diclonius humans would have true diclonius children even when they married normal humans. And

Spoiler:

Lucy has at least one and possibly several diclonius human siblings as hinted at by Kakuzawa's staement that he doesn't need her anymore.

I just thought, if they do eventually make a second season ( which may or may not happen considering how long this anime has been over), do you think they may find a way to introduce some of the characters that were only in the manga? And I still hope they do make another season, even if it has gone a different direction as the original manga, I imagine that some of the manga stuff can still work out evil even with

Spoiler for last episode:

Kurama possibly being dead and Kouta semi-forgiving Lucy

[FireChick]

Spoiler for manga:

Sorry to ask but does anyone have any scans of those four artificial diclonius that that person named Nousou/Shu what ever his name is made? I think their names are Alicia, Barbara, Cynthia and Diana?
