Season II, Episode 22

I rewatched Yuji's conversation with his dad & found that part still confusing as ever.

Spoiler:

It started with the reason why his dad & mum got married so young; because they ended up with "a baby". After which Yuji asked "Me?" but his dad didn't respond.

Then he said the delivery was a mess (but didn't say if the child survived).

The doctor said they won't be able to bear a child anymore, but it was a false diagnosis and "not until sixteen years later did we get a new baby".


So if the first delivery was the twins, with Yuji being one of them, why "a baby"? Or was that fact stated explicitly somewhere else, or some misintepretation in the subs?

[KaneDragon]

Yuji's mother is pregnant now. There's your "new baby".

[teelotes]

That doesn't give any more credence to Yuji being part of a twin. If there are no other references, I can only say that the ambiguous conversation in the anime failed to bring up the fact solidly, and any theory on him being part of a twin must have clearly come from content in the light novels.

What are you talking about? While the word "twin" was never mentioned, you can imply it from the context that Yuji was indeed a twin. First delivery, not until 16 years another delivery, one that was not able to live versus one that was able to. Unless you have bad inference skills, you can tell that Yuji used to be a twin.

Wondering the same here. Let's hope we will get some news soon. I have the felling this might take a while.

I rather wonder if third season will be the last one or will they keep up the good work?

I have been thinking a lots about the storyline in anime and there is a lots of potential if the outcome is right.

[Aijou]

I do not mind if the third season will be the last. I just want it to be really mastepiece made, even better than first season.

Anyway my opinion is that it will be a third season. I'm not much of a manga/novel reader, but there are so many questions concerning the anime ending like:

Spoiler for DO NOT READ! if you didn't finish the whole anime.:

Spoiler for List of spoilers!:

Spoiler for You've been warned !:

- Whats whit Pheles anyway ? She dissapeared, not much about her, she gaved Yoshida the summoning-cross-pandative-thingy and nothing about it ( I'm talking about action here !) !
- Need more information about Outlaw!
- Need more flashbacks about characters history ( don't kill me! not many people like flashbacks, but they are informative )
- Sabrac is too cool to die, he should fight again in third season!
- Silver died too silly, must have revenge someday. Or is it something different about him? since its inside Yuji, like bieng able to use Silver himself at will at some point ?
- Aaaa!!! No kiss, no love confessions! Just a smile as hint!
- Hecate seems to turn more human cause of the past emotional memories ?
- Yuji became strong and theres even more mystery about him. He is the biggest question of all, to what HE is exactly ?
- Yuji's family has some strange things about it. Like his mysterious dad, makes me wonder.
- Mergary's past is still confusing ! Also what will become of her subordinates ?
- Need more information about the lords of the crimson realm, or I didn't pay attention ? Like how did Marcosias end up whit Margery ? Or Tiamat whit Wilhelmina ?
- Bad guys still out there.
- I need SHIRO back, he was too cool, he should fight Sabrac! ( just joking ! Ignore this! )
- And many many more.

So many questions and so many things are in suspension. This can only be solved by a third season.
A movie won't be enough or OVA for these questions to be answered, unless there are meant to be as big as a 13-24 episode season.

Of course my felling is that my questions are already answered somewhere in the novel section of this forum. But I almost clicked on the spoiler tags without reading the novels yet. It could ruin my wait.
Right now i'm just asking in a total anime-perspective.

Just thinking aloud.

Spoiler for Just for kicks and giggles:

BTW, Sabrac cant die. When he entered human realm he prayed on humans like any Guze no Tomogara would do, he even played with his pray. Until a day he fell in love with one, a human girl he had chosen as his pray. She in turn didn't like the fact that Sabrac was consuming humans to live but she understood that he had to do that, they also wanted to be together forever as she was just a mortal human. So they created a hogu, making Sabracs beloved into a mystes. Hogu functioned as a link between them, making Sabrac and his love into one being that share PoE. So its like if Sabrac is killed, he still resign into his love and if Sabracs girlfriend is killed she is resining in Sabrac. By using power of that Hogu she was able to blend into an area and become one with it. But that was not perfect as they still needed PoE to live on (Not as smart as Johan apparently) so Sabrac took a job of assassin and collected payment in PoE. That why he always intends to kill all his targets in one blow, to minimise waste of PoE during a fight.
With time Sabrac got to know of existence of Reiji Maigo and devotes him self to hunt it, with that in his possession he would never need to consume humans or be an assassin and he and his love could live together forever. But as we know by the story, it did not turn out very well and he never got his hands on it.
Instead he run him self almost out of PoE and was almost near death (They both, he and his love. As if he die, she will die to.) thats when his beloved girlfriend had to force him to turn to Bal Masqué. In exchange for PoE they shared information on Reiji Maigo, Bal Masqué was able to conjure a plan. Using Sabracs skills and lots of PoE they made a trap and successfully eliminated that mystes Johan. But we know what happened from there on.


Dunno me, I just made most of this up.

[sasuke13]

Hmmm... Interesting, if we think of it, Mephisto - pheles.... But do you know where Sabrac comes from?

[Littm]

At what tome of the Shana ranobe the story of the second season is now stopped ?

It have stopped at book 16 if I remember corectly. They cut the part of book 16 where Yuji merges with Sarai no Heibi, they basicly cut the whole part of him from the anime.

[Angrypokstick]

actually there something slightly wrong with that. they cut the part with the merge from vol 14 of the novel. Vol 16 is the current novel is about shana and co finding out about what happened to Yuji. And vol 15 was essentially all flash back.

[Littm]

Thanks a lot.

Here's a question:

Guze no Ou => King of the Guze

I heard from a friend that the term "Shukensha" means "sovereign."

If I said Guze no Shukensha, would it translate to "Sovereign of the Guze" or did I make a mistake?

Well not exactly. as far as i could understand
Guze no Ou literally translate into "Guze's King". So Guze no Shukensha would be Guze's Sovereign. But i suppose you could think of it as "Sovereign of the Guze" you are not entirely wrong in that.
