Tsukasa Loging out

Flame Sage · Post by **Flame Sage** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 12:53 am

Ok at the last epp in sign When its all grey and Tsukasa meets Subru (or whatever) it turns to color I think this represents that his dream was becomming reality and when morgenta speaks it turns grey meaning his reality was turning into a dream... or something like that... so what do u think of my theory

EDIT : Grey I know are flashbacks but that could also mean a DREAM beacuse Flashbacks are basicly dreams

I think it was just like one of Tsukasa's typical flashbacks, except this one occurs after she logs out and the flashback is of The World.

yes, that would appear to be the case. I'm sure that Tsukasa's still not in "The World" or the series wouldn't have finished like that.

I think the color change is meant to represent, like, "a happy ending," or something like that. Like the real world is finally something worth living in, and it's not so ludicrous and boring after all.

In the first episode, The World is in colour and the real world is in black and white. In fact, the only colour you see is red, which signifies blood and danger. This means, to me, that Tsukasa sees the gaming World as his "real" world, hence the colour. While the real world is distant, not real. It's bad memories, something he never wants to return to, which is represented by the black/white and the red flashing.

By the last episode, The World has become a place of pain and danger (Morganna 'killing' him, twice), and he wants to return to the real world since it represents a new life with Subaru and Bear and all his friends in reality. So, his bad memories become a new life (black/white to colour), while The World shifts from a place of freedom to a dark place of bad memories he doesn't want to return to (colour to b/w).

Killed him twice?? I thought only once... oh how did Tsukasa wind up in the doungen (first epp) in the first place... we never really know HOW tsukasa got traped in the world do we?

1) Well, first he's 'killed' by his Guardian, and then when he brings Subaru to see Aura and Morganna gets ticked off. Semi-deceased.

2) Ep. Epp would mean it's spelled eppisode. So, it's episoder, ep, epi, etc.

3) It's revealed in snatches. Supposedly, Tsukasa was just playing the game when he opens the chest, and then Maha data drains him into a coma, erasing his memory of the past. You can see a bit of this in the first episode, where he says, "I opened it... and then..." and you see him screaming and looking like a data drain.

I don't know, the ones and zeros of binary code seem to appear whenever someone gets DDed. (they float around the character and thing data draining the character) Like in the fight with the guardian...

Well, when a monster gets Data Drained, their data gets rewritten. 0's and 1's is basically everything that makes a computer. At least, the programs and stuff inside it.

Maybe Tsukasa's data was "rewritten" in a way? That, or they felt like making it look all spiffy and digital-y o.o;

Could be. I don't know about his data so much as his memories though...

His/her 'data' stored in his/her brain? Maybe that was the visual representation of the effect the Data Drain was having on the player. I'm pretty sure that scream of pain means that it's not a painless process.

hm....strange. Tsukasa is the only player that can 'feel the world', but in episode one when Ginkan is DD, he's screaming too. And orca in the //infection, and sora in ep 26 of //sign.

Yup, i think that the data drain has a direct connection to the brain and real body of the person, so if u are data drained it hurts and u can feel it

FireDraconian · Post by **FireDraconian** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 2:46 am

Ah, but why can Tsukasa feel? Because he was Data Drained in a certain way, drawing him into the game. While the version the Guardians have seemed to be turned down (IE, Ginkan didn't go into a coma, he was merely unconscious for a while), it might still summon the same effect. And Skieth has the full version, so it would induce pain.

Of course, the screaming could be from the pain induced from the flashing lights and sounds as well. Deadly Flash caused seizures and death, this could be something related.

Your reaction to pain is caused by your mind.
