This anime had it's ups and down but I can say that I liked the ending. None of that "They all survive and live happily ever after" that i've seen so many times. We see a victor and we see the consequences of the Red Kings actions, death. I liked the outcome of everything.
I was always rooting for the Blue King, he was awesome :P

or He could have just made Kuroh his successor. Weismann finds/studies an ancient tablet and seems to reactivate a system for giving people super powers. There could have been a silver king far in the past. He may not be the first silver king ever. But... he could have always been destined to find it and could have been the reincarnation of the first silver king thousands of years ago on Earth or some alien planet. |

In fact, to anyone who complains about the lack of exposition, please explain what you want this exposition to be about, and why. ...Am I the weird one to not come up with any questions throughout the series? I'm not quite sure what all this colorless king business is even about. The story has established him as the colorless king. Colorless is not black, it's colorless. If it were black, it would've been called black, rather than colorless. Also Kurou is not the black king's clansman, but that of the previous colorless king. The story itself confirmed all these things. Why is there even an argument about it? |

Kuroh... the vassal of the previous colorless king uses a black hand attack. The writers left a lot out of the story, so I could be totally wrong. The series is one big plot hole. Why did Kuroh keep his powers after he disappeared? The white fox is the colorless king? How? What is he? The only way I can see the colorless king being the "transparent" king is if he's just the alternate personality of the Silver King. Weismann was a Nazi/German scientist. He lost his sister in the war. He's extremely powerful. He may have divided his power, in order to keep himself from becoming a tyrant. His other side becomes Ichigen Miwa, a hermit. Ichigen snaps and then turns into the White Fox? Who was the girl/mannequin with the colorless king when the airship crashed? Was/is Weismann crazy? I think its more likely that the colorless king is the black king and he snapped. Who was Ichigen Miwa? We need some flashback scenes. What the hell is a strain? If Neko really a cat? Are strain children of Kings or just random animals/people born with powers? What if Neko is just Weismann's daughter? Yeah, he was a hermit but he still had people work for him. The airship didn't maintain itself and people delivered food (at least some drinks) and stuff to him. |

strains are "special beings who born with a "natural power" without need have a king to give then power this was explained in anime and in manga red memories. 3 thinks still buggin me: if fox was in the blimp until the blue attack, who was the person who place the bloodied cloth in the closet again how the old type phone magic appear in the mikoto cell who place on that? and what happen with the girl/doll who was on the blimp too on the shiro flashback showing fox possession dont show him using her body. |

I'd be a bit surprised if they toss out our already established characters to go onto completely new ones in a sequel where the former still have unfinished business to take care of. But I suppose only time will tell... it's going to be a while anyway.

I don't know about the black king but i do want to know about the green clan and king. on he sword of silver domancles, it looked like red/blue/green were in a triangle format which makes sense cause they are RGB spectrum. The intersection of these 3 colors is white which is where silver's stone was in the domancles sword.
I was surpised not to see the greens especially since Fushimi mentioned it couple of times in episodes before. no doubt their king is probably strong like Suoh and Munakata. He/She is the fifth king in the order of kings. Now will he be the one Munakata will face next season is left to be seen. |

Neko's background... how did she come to believe she's an actual cat? This needs to be addressed since she's a real person. Those 3 things bug me too. -The bloody clothes... what the heck? The body Weismann/Neko named Shiro wasn't from around there. He wasn't from the school. It's not like the Fox lived at the school beforehand and he just landed there by coincidence. No one but Kuro knew he was there and Neko had to build a new identity for him. The Fox wasn't even looking for him. The bloody clothes could be his own clothes, though. He did crash through a roof, he could have been cut. His memories could have been jarred. - lost on the phone magic. - the blimp corpse/mannequin. Was Weismann crazy before the Fox switched bodies? Did Fox kill Weismann's wife/lover/girlfriend? Did Weismann have a stand-in doll for his sister? What's going on? |

for what i get on her little past flash back and what was told in the red manga, wild strains(most of the case the animals one(strains can be humans and animals) in manga is showed a horse strain very funny), are sometimes hunted by the blue guys because strains are seen dangerous or troublesome beings to be handled and i believe she being aware of her situation, she wanted live in the cat form to pass like a normal cat, because only kings are strong enought to being almost immune to her powers, and because she is a nudist(on episode 2 she say who like like to be naked), and maybe is more easy pass as a little cat than keep her invisible all the times(maybe the amount of power and concentration needed to pass like a little cat is much less than cloak himself invisble for too much time. - i few more about her background based on the ed song(who is a few about her life before the anime), she lived a lonely life without friends and need keep runing and moving time from time due to her strain nature, shiro was the first person she can trusth(and ending fall in love for what us get), omg nowww all the talk about neko remind me her bad end NNNNOOOOOOOO gora hand u are devilish ppls bring back her shiro i can't stand with neko lonyless and sadness Last edited by ellessarr; 2012-12-28 at 16:02. |

I think there's a collection of short stories going to be released which will include the story of "how neko came to be neko" (apparently neko and neko were written two different ways there in the original Japanese), I think it was in the official K tabloid that released back on the 19th.

I think the white one is called Silver cause he's white racially and a former Nazi scientist. And the Gold one is obviously yellow but calls himself Gold 'cause he's racially Asian. I think they're named in a way to avoid drama over racism since the anime was aired all over the world. |

"White" is silver and "yellow" is gold because silver and gold are more cool than plain old white and yellow. It's just that, when you're trying to represent colors with spices it's going to be difficult to find anything to use for silver and gold (or blue, for that matter) so white and yellow will have to suffice. |

Not really. The story has one paradox. Shiro is not an "ultimate life form"(JoJo reference). Even an ultimate life form is dead. An "ultimate life form" can regenerate if he has a piece of body part left. Shiro can regenerate from wound, but red king basically vaporize Shiro. He doesn't have a flesh or bone for the lifecycle. Only his sword remains. The paradox is Shiro's quote, "only a king can kill another king". His statement(or thoery) is refuted by former blue king's ending. The current blue king also refutes Shiro's statment. He says Kuro can kill a king with his sword, and Kuro is not a king.

Why would they avoid "white?" - Japan and Nazi Germany are portrayed as allies in WW2. - Weismann is a former Nazi scientist researching paranormal stuff for a Nazi secret society. - Weismann is ultra pale, super smart, most powerful person in the world... with a WW2 German background. - he stumbled upon these power trying to create super soldiers for the war. The producers probably didn't want the heat. "Was Weismann was trying to create the master race?" EDIT: I forgot to add. - The Silver King is named ADOLF!!! - Adolf Weissmann = Adolf White Man Last edited by mechalord; 2012-12-29 at 01:08. |

The fact that the soul made Shiro immortal, and that Weismann's original body was also immortal, would lead one to view that the entity known as Weismann is immortal so long as he remains king. (Also is would just be painfully depressing if next season Neko is looking for a Shiro who truly is gone...) Quote:
The ending is pretty well laid out though in that you cannot allow the Colorless king a chance to escape, and you cannot stab/kill Weismann so no matter how magical Kuro's sword is, it wouldn't have been able to kill Weismann. But, if you blow Weismann to little tiny bits, as per what Mikoto did, you can destroy the body chaining down the Colorless king, leaving it with no where to go but to be destroyed since, as we had seen before, Mikoto's flames could devour the little fox when it tried to usurp his body.
