If not that I wanted Zessica to get a massive power-up I just wanted her ability to be made crystal clear.

If Jin was anything to go by last episode, neither Mikono nor Zessica are the ones they were looking for.

Yeah we know Kagura wants Mikono, but what Kagura wants isn't the same as what Altair needs.

Not exactly, they could clone- But those women might still die. After all cloning has a 1 in 1000 chances of success by itself, not to mention there is some crazy disease to lower the odds further.

Also, if they could figure out what's wrong from studying the bodies, they would have done so with the millions of bodies and cloning wouldn't teach them anything new.

Yep, that's the issue with aquarion. If it were a normal series, speaking of shipping, I'd say that Amata/Mikono are the fated one, BUT with the reincarnation thing it's really better being ready for anything.
Even if I have to admit that they have pushed Amata/Mikono/Zessica far enough that a Kagura surprise would grate on me quite a bit. But I don't like Kagura as I didn't like Apollo so .. but the problem wouldn't be Kagura if they had given him a proper development, what I wouldn't like to see is a Kagura/Mikono ending only just because.
Anyways I have to bear with it

Chaos2Frozen: Jin (and by extension Izumo, I think) are hard to read. It's possible Alisia had some mind-blowing elemental abilities, and relative to her Zessica and Mikono are such small potatoes it's hard to take them seriously as eve candidates. It's also possible Jin's just a "2D" (really: "hologram figurine", I think)-preferring fellow, such that no "real" woman would appeal to him as much as his Alisia holofigs. In which case, good luck, Altair, you're *really* going to need it.

Side note: if Jin is the one-eyed transfer student, you think he and Amata will bond by watching Skies of Aquarion (or whatever that in-show movie is called)? It's Neo-Deava movie night, Amata gets so excited he has someone else who's that big of a fan he starts flying when he talks to Jin, cue some Mikono (and Zessica, lol) jealousy?

Which would still have less risks and better success rate than doing whatever they were doing in Vega? Just yanking people and hoping it'll be the right one? Risking their lives at it (the ones that can go there). Please, it makes zero sense if they can survive through cloning themselves and continue research about cloning women.

If they could clone Apollo, why they didn't clone Silvia if they needed someone as strong as her? Not believing the clone theory anymore.

How do you know it's not a problem with the genetic code of the Altair women?

They couldn't find her genetic code? Maybe they were lucky to even get a working Kagura.

Hey I don't care either way about this theory, but I'm pointing out your argument has holes, or at least loopholes that can be exploited.

If they are cloning around, they can fix that eventually... The research is way way less risky than oh hey lets go to another dimension, endanger ourselves to take women who turn up dead anyway, because maybe there's a chance one won't be this way.

That doesn't make any sense... Apollo's genetic code would be more inaccessible if anything? Furthermore, if Kagura was a clone of Apollo, wouldn't they cherish him more? They wanted to mate the Eve with Jin, rather than him and seem to ignore him. It seems that they have no idea if he has an hypothetical connection with him, aside of maybe Mykage.

When did the say they wanted to mate the Eve with Jin? As far as I remember Jin went to Vega to capture a Reaigler and bring her home, Izumo never told him they wanted him to do anything more to her. (NTR jokes are all good and well but it wasn't actually a NTR situation - that was just Mykage messing with Kagura.)

Also, Kagura seems to be in a rather privileged position, judging by the fact that he has his own mecha, that he seems to be allowed to do pretty much whatever he wants, and the amount of insubordination and messing up that he got away with before he got locked up in that cage - and I think Mykage only locked him up because he knew what Izumo and Jin were planning and wanted to make sure that Kagura would sit in one place and watch it.

(That said, I think it's highly unlikely that anyone is a clone or an otherwise genetically engineered life form here...)

I actually get too that they want Jin to mate with True Eve, because of his special status as the last son of Altair(the youngest one).

Kagura's mecha is locked up and created only recently by Jin. Izumo conversation with Mykage in the 6 the episode pretty much shows that Izumo thinks Kagura is playing again and it's nothing special, basically no one cares(except Mykage) what Kagura wants(sit in the cage and don't be a burden, Mr. Wild Child).


This 8 episode looked like a secret educational program "unprotected sex makes babies".

Maybe, but I don't think they ever mentioned it... Also, I don't think it would make sense trying to repopulate an entire planet using a single couple (various complications and health issues aside, what if they only have sons??), but this is Aquarion so common sense might not apply.

But how old are Jin and Kagura? Supposing that Jin is a bit younger than Kagura, they seem to be around the same age as the Vega gang (16-17). Given their age it makes sense why Kagura's mecha was created only recently. And of course it's locked because 1) Kagura wrecked it and not for the first time either, 2) Izumo doesn't want Kagura to go and mess the mission up any further, while Mykage has other plans with him. And if they really just wanted him to sit in a cage and not be a burden, then why did they give him a mecha and let him go to Vega at all? I mean, they know that he's a loose cannon.

What I got from the series so far is that Kagura is a high-ranking person over at Altair, but he's difficult to control so Izumo mostly lets him be until he goes too far. Going by Izumo's words in ep 7 he'd been locked up at least once but I guess it happened before the series started because we haven't seen him being punished neither for wrecking his mecha (giving more work to Jin) nor for clear insubordination and wrecking other Altair mecha. And Izumo's phrasing implies that this time at least it wasn't Izumo who decided on the punishment which makes me think it might have been Mykage. (And I think Mykage cares more about what Mykage wants rather than what Kagura wants... it's just that in this case the two probably overlap on some level.)

Izumo always talks about this matter only with Jin, he even has made Jin the head of this mission. This episode Jin's line " I'd would be happy with just Alicia " pretty much sealed the deal that Jin and one girl should be able to ensure the survival of their species. Aquarion and it's tree of life.
Jin's age? I am guessing that he shouldn't be younger than 14. Age in anime is a tough matter.

I don't think this is enough evidence that they want Jin to actually get down and mate with whomever turns out to be their "Eve"... And I didn't get that from Jin's line either, to me it sounded more like "new Reaiglers, whatever, I'm fine as long as we have Alisia", especially with Izumo scolding him for it. But who knows.

Re: Jin's age, when Mykage appears to Izumo and Jin he mentions that Jin has grown a lot, which implies that 9 years ago (or whenever it was that Mykage went to sleep, though I suppose it was 9 years ago after Donar's incident) Jin was a small boy. 14-16 seems to be right.

[miketyson]

I'm going with the "Kagura isn't from Altair" theory: I'm running with the Mykage brought Kagura with him when he came to Altair, and part of the price of the dimension gates and mech designs was something along the lines of "raise this foundling Kagura as one of your own...". Or something.

But guys guys guys: what if Kagura *is* Apollo? Something like this: Mykage stole some parallel-universe's Apollo as a young child and has been raising him on his own? Possibly Altair, as part of why Altair's all messed up now (the events 12k years ago turned out very differently...).

You something mixing up. Mykage said that Izumo grown up a lot.

Nothing indicates it, but I quite like it for some reason.

Episode 8... They planned to hook up the True Eve with Jin, because he's the last true son of Altair. Which is one of the reasons why Kagura is all "keep your hands off my wench" in earlier episodes.

Mykage loses a lot of his punch in taunting Kagura if Jin isn't going to Altair to get his hands on a woman with whom to mate. There'd be little *threat* to Kagura's woman if Jin was just a pick-up and delivery service that does all the hard work after which Kagura could claim Mikono all for himself.

Mykage is feeding Kagura's jealousy by playing Altair's goal of mating *The Last Son of Altair* against them, and directing Kagura's fury at Jin. Its fairly evident that Mykage is on his own side in all of this.
