Topic: Character Discussion and Defining

[Cosmic King]

I don't have to say this but I feel like I should because I'm not ashamed and I'm already "out of the closet" so here goes: I'm a member of the GLBT community and I'm really open-minded because I don't judge people I simply try to see things from their points of view.

Offtopic: No matter what your choices are,we will keep loving ya,Cata-chan

As Cata just mentioned early,it was a great thing to have Lum and Shinobu as friends instead of rivals as in the early episodes,such aspect proves that even the most hated enemies can become friends in the end

[cata]

Lum and Shinobu stopped being rivals because there was nothing else to fight for.

It's great to know that you support me guys. ^^

[DarkDevil]

Me, allways! ... ok, almost...

[Akazukin]

Lum and Shinobu stopped being rivals because there was nothing else to fight for.

It's great to know that you support me guys. ^^

We always be here no matter what happens-Right guys?

She's like a teenage Japanese girl version of the Hulk, who doesn't become muscular and green (or blue, or grey). I think it's because of the entire source of her power is her anger. If you want to discuss some things about characters... let us discuss the nature of whatever powers they may have. How is Lum able to shoot lightning and fly? Obviously it's not really because she's an Oni, after all, Rei can't fly, but he can transform, and doesn't shoot lightning, Ten can fly, and instead of shooting lightning, he's got flamethrower breath. What is the nature of Ataru's immortality? How about this one, where did he learn those ninja skills he has when he isn't involved with the ninja world (made obvious by the Kaede storyline)? What about Mendo and Tobimaro? Where did their families get all that money? We know the Mizukunoji family made their fortune selling sporting goods, but what of the Mendo Corporation? Of course, there's the question of Shinobu's strength. And how Sakura can be such a bottomless pit. Why is it that Benten is the only regular alien cast member that doesn't seem to have any sort of powers? So many questions regarding the special skills and abilities of the cast. No answers. None. It's all speculative.

There is no proof to answer your questions.
Everything i said here is just my speculativeness

First one about Lum, Ten, Rei.
Let me take an example, you and me are human but we living in different countries, talking different language, having different habits. There are many differents between us but we still the same, still human.
So do they. Lum, Ten, Rei, Ten's mother, Mr Invander may have different particular trait but they are Oni. Oni's people may not living in different countries like human, they living in different clans and each clan's people have their own abilities. Oni's state, if i'mnot mistake, is Empire institution and biggest, strongest clan control the rest, and Mr Invander's clan must be that control.

Second one about Ataru's immortal and his skill.
About his skill, he act like they belong to ninja's skill but i think they look more like survive skill, run, sneak, trick,...And if i remember clearly he used to say : When the Oni go away, the mice will play. Are ninja mice?
About his immortal, there are two suppositions, the first one: he isn't human, the second one: the spirit entice bad spirits toward him protect him

Third one about Benten
She not Oni, she is belong to God race( if it can be called a race). and there is a little imformation about God race or its people tht they are kind of aggressive and full of skill in combat.

[Kroptik]

What about Ran?

-She's not human since she comes from space
-She's not an oni because she can't fly and doesn't have horns
-She's not a lucky God because she doesn't appear in the oni vs lucky gods thing (sorry, forgot the name)
-So what is she?

And you forgot to say Oyuki is a Neptuniun (Queen).

[dak]

I can answer about Ran but Oyuki is quite difficult, and of course they are my speculativeness

First about Ran:
Let me take an example, what will happen if human isn't the only race that reach the brain stage.
what will happen if there is another races like gorilla or tiger reach the brain stage, that mean the one who rule the Earth will not only human but also another races.
But it didn't happen on Earth, human still the one and only one who rule the Earth.
But it may happen on planet where Oni is living. There maybe not only Oni on that planet but also another races though they may have little population than Oni's, and Ran belong to one of those races.

About Oyuki, the story only tell that she is Lum's childhood friend and be queen on Nepture, that all. And she only living on Nepture, that mean she belong to another and except her relationship with Lum and Benten, she have nothing to do with Oni and God

[Akazukin]

That alot to take in :nosmile2:

[FallinG_StaR]

What the hell is a brain stage??? XD

That's impossible... Well at least in real life... have you ever seen Planet of the Apes?

Its impossible for to evolved species to live in same planet unless the other enslaves the weaker race...

But that is just my speculations... on your speculations... XD

[Kroptik]

No ,that's just Planet of the Apes. If animals can share their spaces with other animals, why couldn't humans share the planet with other intelligent lifeforms.

Sure they'd be racism, but Ataru has 2 Onis living with him, doesn't he?
And if we can take it, so can the rest of humanity.

[dak]

What the hell is a brain stage??? XD

sr that the result of low english vocabulary

Its impossible for to evolved species to live in same planet unless the other enslaves the weaker race...

But that is just my speculations... on your speculations... XD

you got me that one
ok let see if i can protect my speculation, umh, if i'm not mistake Oni's regime is Empire regime, and they use their power and tradition to conquer another races, Ran's race maybe in one of those races be conquered by Oni but the Oni just put her race under their control not enslaves them.

[veehive]

This may help steer the course of this discussion:

In TV episode 33 -- where Ten loses his horn -- he speaks of Ran's relationship with himself and Lum, saying "The Oni-races have strong bonds between them" (from the U.S. English subtitles).

[FallinG_StaR]

That means Ran is a Oni? ... But from a different race/type of Oni???

[dak]

two branch from an origin, maybe

[veehive]

Perhaps different tribes ... or different clans ...? Just a thought.
