Or I might be mistakened ^^

Certain thing is.., there is a scene in a episode where they are clearly shown to be Human ears..,
I had intentions to refering to that when the episode discussion was on but I recon I ended up forgetting about it..

I am just sure though that they where shown, 100% sure.

Eh. My bad.

Scouring Ep5 with VLC at x0.13 speed, I got:




So he does have particularly human looking ears... Dammit this changes everything

Hmm.. whats behind those protrusions? Horns sound logical, since the allusion to the dragons in the OP. But horns on a human.. are kinda sick.

I guess it was episode 4 or so.., its realy a part where Hakuoro is standing still.., I will look it up better later, and if I can find the exact timeframe where his ears are shown I will post it asap.

Now, regarding the Horns, Lost :
I belive there is nothing behind the protrusions , you see.., the mask itself as I previously said is a "Oni" mask.., and thus protrainging as so, it HAS to have those horns; which means.. it doesn't necessarily state that Hakuoro has to have horns of his own.

I belive that in the end, the horns are just in the mask, probably even a hollow mold; to me, currently Hakuoro is just a plain human using a Oni mask which he cannot remove.

The purpose of the mask and its existence is well.., still unclear, despite many speculations and the fact that it definitly has some connection to his dragon form.

[Wrath88]

Is Hakuoro some kinda ninja or something? The way he runs away from Mutikapa in episode 2, it's exactly like the ninjas from Naruto. Teoro was running normally though.

Just thought to mention it. Right now I'm still on episode 3.

[Wrath88]

By the way, who is the VA for Yuzuha? Her voice sounds quite familiar for some reason, not sure where I heard it before. Anybody else wonder about Oboro's weapons? The first time Hakuoro met him (ep 3), Oboro's swords are both drawn on the left side. That's not really possible, is it?

Sorry for bringing up old episodes, but I've only just started the series, so it'll take me a while to catch up to the rest of you.

[zalas]

Mai Nakahara plays Yuzuha. She also plays Mai from My Hime.

[cheenk]

in the OP, there's a samurai trenchcoat girl and a girl with a really big fan. what are their names? and when did they appear in the game?

[KBTKaiser]

The samurai one is Touka. She won't be around until maybe another 4-5 eps.
The big fan is Karura. That ain't no fan. That's a big blade that took 5 grown men to haul in, yet she carries it in one hand. She'll probably appear in 2-3 eps.

I was showing the last several episodes of Utawarerumono to my local anime circle, and a question about Japanese linguistics came up that I hope someone here will be able to answer. Whenever the late unlamented emperor Inkara spoke, he ended every sentence with something that sounded like "nyamo" ( or maybe "nan de mo", but not sure that would make sense in context). I'm assuming that this is some sort of speech affectation used by a person of a privileged class. But can anyone provide some more information about what this means and where it comes from? Thanks!

"nyamo" has no meanings.
Real Japanese don't use it.
To put it briefly, it's similar to "nyo" of Di Gi Charat.

Thanks for your response! I don't recall ever watching Di Gi Charat, but I do understand what you mean - it was essentially a meaningless speech affectation used by that individual. So, I'll file that item under "irrelevant" and go back to waiting for the next episode to air.

[Newprimus]

It's interesting how Sasante and Inkara both used nyamo. Must be hereditary. Maybe if Nuwangi has a chance to get older he'll start saying nyamo too. (or his mother's genes cancelled out the nyamo effect)



At one point I kept thinking of Azumanga's Nyamo everytime Inkara went nyamo.

That's Touka. ;D

[Newprimus]

She'll be coming up next ep.

[Cardiac Glycoside]

(1). Is Yuzuha actually blind? Her blindness is never explicitly brought up in the show. The OP suggests that she isn't, but then again those eyes look "dead." She never describes things in terms of how they look, but then again she seems to be the only one who is so sensory in her everyday speech.

(2). Are the flaps on the sides of Nuwangi/Sasante/Inkara's head ears, or cloth?

[Karnot]

Ok, so Utaware is made after H-game, right ?
Then my question is : In the game, Who did What and with Whom ? :P

Spoiler for Sexploits in the game:

Hakuoro is the protagonist, so he's obviously the one who gets all* the action. Females nailed, or females he got nailed by as it was more often than not:

Offense:
Karura

Spoiler for a bit more detail:

Drugs up Hakuoro by using some rare perfume

Kamyuu

Spoiler for a bit more detail:

Freezes Hakuoro's body and has his way with him while he can't do anything (3 times no less), but is nevertheless fully concious.

Touka

Spoiler for a bit more detail:

Jumps on Hakuoro after some candit advice from Karura about Hakuoro liking aggressive women. Also got told by Karura that children are made through the mouth, which lead to a fairly predictable result.

Yuzucchi

Spoiler for a bit more detail:

Wanted to have Hakuoro's baby, told this to Oboro and Oboro begged Hakuoro to grant her wish (Oboro being rather drunk at the time.)

Spoiler for ending spoiler:

And amazingly, he actually did get her pregnant.

"Normal":
Eruruw
Uruto

*Certain...implications about Oboro getting used by the twins as a plaything do appear in the game

[PGilis]

Spoiler for the sex scenes:

Drug-induced one time,
Raped two times,
Asked by a two-swords wielding drunked man very know by his bad temper one time.

Are you sure he really had any choice with the laters?
