The other possibility is that the 117th Investigation fleet was destroyed killing both Dr. Mao Nome and Ranshe Mei. Grace O'Connor either survived the destruction somehow or was already a "cyborg" at the time and hence was destroyed in the blast only to be resurrected into another body and then came to Galaxy or was already there. With the knowledge of the V-Type virus research she got from being on the team with Dr. Mao Nome and Ranshe Mei she attempted to reconstruct their findings and with that knowledge and other experiments she then looked for a test subject. She then discovers Sheryl in the slums on the Galaxy and uses her as a test subject all along lying to her that she knew her mother and that her mother was Dr. Mao Nome. Perhaps she brainwashed her into think her mother was Mao Nome. OR Dr. Mao Nome also somehow survived the destruction of the 117th Investigation Fleet and also made it to the Galaxy and then really did adopt Sheryl when Grace found her. Either way Grace found Sheryl on the streets. That much I believe. What happened to her after that is hard to say hence why I call my speculation on the part theories and not facts. Quote:
Evidence is rather clear in my original post on this here. Quote:

I think the only person that even elludes to Ranshe and Sheryl being related is magnuskin from his comparison of images of Sheryl and Ranshe. Quote:

* Lastly there is one more theory to entertain. This theory assumes that Ranka and perhaps also Brera were adopted by Ranshe Mei and her unknown husband. That they were found somewhere else, perhaps something closely related with the Vajra. It's even possible that Ranka herself was infected with the V-Type virus by direct contact with an actual Vajra Queen hence why she has special powers while Sheryl doesn't. I thought this episode was rather clear on answering many of the speculations and questions that are posed in this thread. I guess some of you weren't watching as closely as you could have. I suggest you go watch the episode again. |

You now, it could always be as simple as Grace giving Sheryl the Nome name and telling her it belonged to her lost mother. As a way to honour Mao.
And about Brera's surname, he's probably just been given one, I remember Grace saying something like "You want to regain your past, don't you?" and I'm sure he said at some point he's not entirely sure what there is about *that* girl that makes him look over her. I think. |

Hey, someone mentioned before that the director of this series tends to go for unexpected endings... here's one for you. Alto and the two leading ladies both survive fine in the end... and Alto sleeps with Sheryl, only to catch- and die from- the V-type disease along with Sheryl, leaving the poor green haired lass without two friends and her love...
Now that'd be unique even for anime :P |

I doubt they will simply rehash that ending. |

As for Sheryl being more than what she is, there's at least 8 episodes left. That she actually dies and fades into obscurity is too much to hope for at this point. |

Overall it makes sense though that the body trails the soul. Also, the holographic cockpit makes it seem like Brera doesn't have soul, but maybe he could be different because he is a cyborg. Last edited by Zhaozhou; 2008-08-10 at 15:15. |

The doubles are just a visual representation of the shaky distortion within warp space seen in SDF Macross and Macross 7. The tunnel and shooting particles effect was first seen in Macross Plus. |

Just something I noticed.
Spoiler for Ranshe Mei?:
Also: I HATE the new subs (gg). The weird file format (.mkv? What?) doesn't work correctly with VNC or Media Player. Sound goes out of sync with video INSANELY fast, even after I've refreshed the seek bar. Anyone else having problems with this? I wish Kei would release theirs again |
