I guess if you're a girl, you understand how close a relationship is between two girls who are friends, and I figure it's probably something like that.

*nod nod* Yep. I agree. ^^ I have a relationship with a friend that's just as close as Tsu and Subaru. So, um, yeah.

*cough* That was a slight spoiler, but hey.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of girls act really close like that. I get the feeling that, had Tsukasa been... well, Tsukasa, it could have developed into more then that, though.

I was thinking more of the things that happen during the end, though.

[spoiler]Like Sora, a young child, being Data Drained. Just looking at the anime, there's nothing to say that he's not dead. Well, except Morganna's words, but who pays attention to those?

Heh. Kinda ruins the joke to elaborate, and Gray already partially explained, but oh well.

In the original Sailor Moon, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune are, uh, kinda close. <g> Despite all folks arguments that they're just friends, and why can't girls be close, blah, blah, the writer of the series eventually flatout said that yes, they're lovers. (Not to mention the 5th season, Sailor Moon Stars, which has not shown here in the U.S, just flat out says it.)

Nothing, however, in the 3rd season is flat out said. Just touches, and handholds, etc.

Nevertheless, Cloverleaf, the company that dubbed the third Season, decided to make them "cousins." Not only did Uranus and Neptune become cousins, but so did their 'secret identities.' And EVERYONE knew they were cousins, even people meeting them for the first time.

It was ridiculous, especially since none of the touching, or the looks, or the innuendo was actually cut out. Which made it really absurd.

Well, I don't think it would have. I mean, my friend and I are very close, but all it is, is a very close friendship.

FireDraconian, I can assure you, Sora isn't dead.

That's the most I can assure you of, but he's not dead ^^;

FireDraconian · Post by **FireDraconian** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 4:36 am

I know he's not dead. I'm just saying, that if you go solely by what you see in the anime, you might be led to believe that. Excepting, as I said, Morganna's words about a fate worse then death.

I am going by what I see in the anime ^^;

I'll stop there, at any rate, but, though I'm not sure about what happens, exactly, after episode 26... that is to be cleared up in .hack//ZERO (maybe).

Quote unquote FF9:

"To be forgotten is worse than death."

Notice how none of the //SIGN people say in that two seconds near the end, "whoa where's Sora? D:"

Freya! That's her quote,I liked that character.

Yea, I guess Tsukasa didn't want to be Sora's friend very badly after all...
Don't worry Sora! I'll be your friend! ~hugs Sora, gets sliced up~
WAAAAA!

I noticed that too. But they didn't really have time. Sora is rather famous for vanishing for periods of time. Not to mention that he couldn't have ported to Net Slum anyway, he would have to go back to the Root Town. So even had he escaped, they never would have seen him.

Plus, the arrival of certain things and certain other drastic measures taking place probably pushed his fate out of their minds.

[Sora's Edit: Quote removed. Don't post something that monstrous as a quote! Geez!]

isn't this one huge spoiler?

P.S. the upside down man's name was Harold Horwick

Dark770 · Post by **Dark770** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 7:41 am

but he is just showing the show and if you didnt watch it yet then it would be a spolier..... anyways its acctually nice of him to do this i mean if you miss a episode he just types it down

Sora · Post by **Sora** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 8:28 am

No, it isn't a spoiler, as it's marked as a summary. That's a clear enough warning.

As for the broken man, his name is 'Harald HÃ¶rwick', though apparently, Bandai figures it's too hard to put the umlaut on and have officially dubbed him 'Harald Hoewick'.

.... I'm not very pleased with those romanizations. Emma is 'Emma Wielant' which doesn't really match the roomaji, if you pronounce it in German e_e;;; Oh, well, not like they ask someone who might actually know 9_9;

FireDraconian · Post by **FireDraconian** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 5:32 pm

At least they got the first names right. You never know, they might have dubbed him as Harry Howink.
