Cubia

ok so cubia is a freaking shadow thing enclosed in kite's bracelet. Tsukasa's guardian does not have the bracelet inside. The kind of Data Drain the guardian use is a crappy version of the real thing. WTF is this???? You people kind got a piece of brain lost in "The World" we just have to wait until the 3 game of .hack comes out and wish for the best but the only thing I know that it is for sure is going to happen is that Kite's Bracelet Breaks apart or he just destroy the bracelet.

It is a cylindrical object with a large hole in the middle. Beyond that, I do not know.

Ok, if you have "INFECTION" go to data, then watch the beginning intro to .hack//SIGN. Right before they show Aura, they show the BRACELET that is inside Tsukasa's guardian. After they show Aura, they show the BRACELET again, and then larger, to see it up close. If you need proof, I have pics of it.

You are assuming it is a bracelet. It could be a bangle, or a giant ring, or an armlet, or nothing in particular at all. But it sure doesn't look like this bracelet...

... now does it?

Guys, guys, if you'll go back and look through these posts you'll realize that you're asking the same questions over and over again and getting the same answers. Rhyste and Xeno have repeatedly told you all that you need to know (more so I think since half the fun is playing the game). I don't know about Xeno, but Rhyste is one of those fortunate people that can read Japanese and has played the import versions of all 4 games, so why don't we just trust her?

P.S. [spoiler]When the word shadow is used in this post it isn't meant literally...Cubia does not exist within the bracelet, he exists because the bracelet exists therefore, like a genuine shadow, when the bracelet is destroyed so is Cubia.[/spoiler]

Ozzy is right! lets stop asking the same questions over and over again!!! Cubia IS a shadow that exist because of kite's bracelet. Destroy the Bracele=destroy Cubia

Here's what I still don't understand:

If Cubia is the shadow of the bracelet, is Kite the light casting that shadow? Or is the bracelet the light, and Cubia is Kite's shadow? Or do I have it completely wrong either way?

OK, just thing of a yin-yang. Kite and the Bracelot are one side while the other is Cubia.

Exactly, Shadow is the term used in the games so thats what i used...I guess it was kinda confusing. there is no light cating a shadow...it isn't a shadow at all, It just a term used to point out that these two are the same yet different, and are connected to directly to each other. A ying-yang describes it much better.

Except that Kite and the Bracelet are two different things. Here's how it works:

Light --> Object --> Shadow

So my question is...

If Cubia is the shadow, which is the light, and which is the object?

You're taking it too literally. Any metaphor breaks down eventually.

Perhaps "projection" would be a better term.

Invisible Egg!, you really are taking it too literally. With the yin-yang explaination, Kite and the bracelot are the light and Cubia is the dark. With how you want it explained it would be Kite is the light, the bracelot is the object, and Cubia is the shadow. This is only a guess since you seem to it explained pyshically and not metaphorically.

Yeah that's why you couldn't get it right

Beh. o.o;; Adding posts like that in discussions like these aren't going to help the situation. Two people have already pointed it out. We dont need someone else pointing it out and not adding information. Please keep the pointless posts down. Thank you. ^_^
