data drained

I seen that when real people are data drained that they stuck in the game. But in the finial level when Skieth preforms his Data Drain move on people in your party why doesn't it make them stuck in the game and fall into comas? Plot-Hole?

In the Mutation OVA DVD, they patch up the plot hole by saying the bracelet gives Kite's party protection from Data Drain's more dangerous effects.

Just incase Geni cant find it,which probably wont >>;

"Mystery//08 Data Drain
In the game, Skeith performs Data Drain on Orca, and Yasuhiko, Orca's real world counterpart, falls into a coma. However, in the battle with Skeith at the end of ".hack//INFECTION" the party members do not fall into comas when Skeith performs Data Drain. The power of the bracelet seems to lessen the force of Skeith's attack... but if Skeith had performed "PROTECT BREAK" on the party, the outcome could have been different. "

yeah I saw that today I finially beat infection and got to see the movie where orca got data drained. I was like "Oh so thats why" but I thought you couldn't preform data drain on anyone unless protect break was in effect

i guess since Skeith is an all powerful phases he can DD without doing a protect break.

ya expecially since he doesn't do it after you data drain him. And one more thing wouldn't Skeith's virus core infect you more then you could hold I mean he the virus

Now you've found a possible plot hole.... Well It seems to me that yes it would...Skieth is much different than the infected Data Bugs...Although he isn't exactly the virus... in retrospect he is a product of it, Or rather a product of Morganna (who could be refered to as the virus). Anyway, this is just my speculation...I think this is a worthy topic for debate however.

I, personally highly doubt Morganna being a virus, as she really has her own opinions and capabilities. She also is very easily a living person, rather than AI or a virus.

As for him infecting you. As he is an outside virus, that isn't really getting into the users computer through attacking/meeting/speaking to him, thus coming into conclusion on my point of view, he would not infect them. ^_^

If Morgana was a Virus... The World itself is it's own virus.

Just a note, the mispelling in the topic was driving me nuts. I corrected it. :D

Game on.

I fixed my two errors. ^_^

I'm not usually one to leave grammar/spelling mistakes, as it offends me much, and then I spend so much time correcting every single post on //Source because of my bad habit. ^_^

Which brings up the question... if Morganna isn't related to the Virus, then who created it? And why does fighting the Phases, which are Morgannas servants spread the Virus?

Rhyste · Post by **Rhyste** » Sun Sep 07, 2003 6:02 pm

I think it's something like the virus is affecting Morgana causing her to spread it: she's obviously attached to it someway. Alternatively, it could be that Kite's bracelet does something like that, since Data Draining a phase is like... "Data Draining part of The World."

Xeno · Post by **Xeno** » Sun Sep 07, 2003 10:51 pm

Thats what I basically ment...not that she is the virus, but that she's more like the controller. Since she obviously controls THE WORLD'S infection rate.

You may be onto something there... We already know that [spoiler]when Kite DD'd Magas computers all around Japan went down (or at least around that one city they were in in //LIMINALITY 2...was it Tokyo? I can't remember)...[/spoiler]

Now wait.
[spoiler]If Morgana = the World, the World is under infection, and Morgana controls the virus, then does she *want* to be infected?? How would she possibly gain from that? [/spoiler]
Whap me on the head if I'm being stupid here, but that's something I just don't get.
