Topic: Character Discussion and Defining

[UruseiNeo]

male Oni's can have two horns two. Ex: Lum's Dad and Rei. I think Ten has 1 horn cause he's jut that young.

What about her mother doesn't belong to Human race, she belong to God race?
From what i see from episodes, Ran use stuff like guns and grenades like Benten.

[UruseiNeo]

How did we get to a discussion on whether Ran is an Oni or a God race?

The group is Lum, Oyuki, Benten, and Ran. This group is diverse in types of aliens. By law of story writing, they all must be from different planets, that's just how people write. Generally, a group is diversified so that they can expand on stuff.

Now, if two of them were of the same race, then generally those two would be very close compared to the others in the group. Ran is not really close with anyone.

If Rumiko meant Ran to be an Oni, she would have mentioned that.

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).

there are nothing like that in manga, don't know it RT's idea or director's idea

There a law!?

[Kroptik]

It's one of those unwritten anime laws that say that all characters in a group will have different advantages/disadvantages. So what better way to make them different then they being from different alien races altogether?

[UruseiNeo]

couldn't have said it better myself, in fact I think it should be Anime Law #101

[DarkDevil]

What's Anime Law #100?

[UruseiNeo]

I think something about anything and everything can happen. The list is on this site.

sr but can't understand you

[UruseiNeo]

I think the 100th law is "anything and everything can happen" (in an anime)

[Kroptik]

#100 Law of Anime Events
Much like wrestling, anything and everything can happen.

Quoted from our very own forum.

I like this 2 "laws"... because its so damn common in all animes XD

#32 Law of Follicular Permanence

#48 Law of Electrical and Combustible Survivalism

[UruseiNeo]

could you define these two?

[Kroptik]

#32 Law of Follicular Permanence
Hair in anime is pretty much indestructible, and can resist any amount of meteorological conditions, energy emissions, physical abuse, or explosive effects and still look perfect. The only way to hurt someone’s hair is the same way you deal with demons... with bladed weapons!

#48 Law of Electrical and Combustible Survivalism
If you get electrocuted or burned, YOU WILL SURVIVE!! Though your entire body will be scorched, seconds later, your skin won’t have a trace of damage (Also known as the "Pikachu Effect").

As for me, law 31 is a MUST.

#31 Law of Follicular Chromatic Variability
Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. This color can change without warning or explanation.

What would Lum be without her natural green hair?
