You had his sig though. I just thought if you're him who forgot to change his sig. Right, right, I guess I'll take it back that she's in love. But I will not say she is an idiot for what she did, she had more stakes that "I AM SO IN LOVE AND I AM BLINDED BY IT!". But... I think we're over that already. You all hate Litchi and think of her as nothing more than a dumb broad. I get it. Back on that I'm not sure if Kokonoe is to be followed. We're going to need to confirm what Rachel said to her in the ending to see about the reversibility or not, because I'm not sure if I could take the words of someone too obsessed in killing Terumi herself to the point of abandonment of everything else is to be called 'source of wisdom that only morons will disobey'.

Maybe I am the only one who thinks Litchi is not in love with Lotte. She considers her a friend and that's just how far she'd go for the sake of a friend. So put Carl, Tao or Bang in that situation, and she'd do the same, she just didn't do it to them because she felt like they had no life/existence-threatening problem. I think everyone is just exaggerating, though it's not an unfounded statement... I really am interested to see how she's like before even meeting Lotte. Maybe just so we get the impression that her life cycles more than just around Lotte. @Orihalcon: Are you Circuitous?

You know there's one thing I wonder and I finally knew why Terumi and Relius brought in Litchi and her research of reversing seithr. Wasn't it said in Bang's Arcade End that the Kushinada Lynchpin's purpose is to eventually stop a huge amount of seithr and destroying them? I guess this is where Litchi's research came to play and I predict that after they're ready with the Lynchpin, they will have no more uses on her... Gah, thanks to Sourenga's channel being taken down I can't make exact stuffs like that. Anyway, speaking of Litchi, I think there's one thing that just bugs me and I hope CP will explain: How did she develop such a strong case of dedication to help people to the point she went through that kind of length for Lotte? Was it parents teaching? Or something horrible happened in her past before going to Sector Seven? ... Do they even care at all and would just point her as 'Oh, she's just born obsessed! Moving on!'....?

I think it was made clear that Ragna was going after NOL because the NOL stored the Prime Field Devices and the Murakumos... and that just pissed him off. Terumi, I think, is being evil because... well it's within his nature. He's developed some sort of narcissistic ego that he thinks he's the most awesome being to ever embrace existence and his words has better be accepted at truth. He snaps when he finds out that the humans can find more truths than just despair like him, and refusing to adapt to that new truth, he decided to revamp the world to fit his own brand of truth, because he thinks he's that awesome and needs to have his entertainment served on a platter. While IMO, it's making him sound like a kid throwing a tantrum on the world because he didn't get his favorite toy. Well that's what I thought... EDIT: For the guy above... four IS NOT RIGHT OUT.

I don't see Amane being Belladona, I think her hair isn't that blue. In fact I see him more like the Persona 3 Protagonist AKA Minato Arisato. Fitting, since they both have Akira Ishida as their Japanese voice

I heard differently from my friend. She was just being lectured about something and then she broke down in tears. No words about distorted speech. Well I guess we're gonna have to see when her story's subbed.

Oh I wonder about that. Didn't you read about her conditions that she really had no choice unless she wants to get blobified? Then again, her ending image seems to conform what you wished for, she blew it up and in tears on realization.

She just entered NOL, if she immediately gets a rank, NOL's judgment about granting people ranks, even with the messing of Hazama and Relius... is in need of questioning. You don't enter an organization and immediately or at most after a month and a half to get some noteworthy rank. That's a basic management rule you find everyday. Either way, that's probably not mentioned in the Arcades, considering she's left to her own devices and problems and none of the NOL crews like Hazama, Relius or Tsubaki ever bothered to check her up or refer her with ranks or sorts. And I think she was so insignificant in Saya's eyes that Saya didn't even bother to make up bullshits to promote her the same way she did to Tsubaki. Also for a proof that Bang is already over his problems with Jin, Jin is nowhere to be seen in Bang's story. Also if you recall, in his ending, he has noticed from Trinity that Jin himself isn't the only one at fault, but the system in NOL is his real enemy. Still insisting to go over to Jin would end up making him look petty at this moment, it's a good thing Bang no longer did so.

It's just prediction, but I think she might have served her purpose this way. I had a hunch that her Boundary research is what finally made Relius able to tune up the Kushinada Lynchpin to his and Hazama's tastes, and then for bonus sake, they find out about Bang's infatuation on her, then sends her to lure Bang into their trap. Needless to say, they succeeded. But then again, it's just prediction.

I'm more or less thinking that she realizes that Relius is not going to release that cure and is gonna use it for a weapon of mass destruction, so the only way to retrieve it is to fight against Relius and snatch it from him before it's too late for her, thus squarely returning to the side that fights Hazama & co, leaving Team Douchebag. And that's if Rachel and Kokonoe allow her, because judging from Tager's story, Kokonoe is expectedly unforgiving. Since thus far, in CP, her story NEVER touched her Boundary corruption (and strangely lacking Arakune), I think its threat towards her body is going to be the focus on next game... But I'm satisfied if this game is for bringing her back to the side of good.

Not in the sense of her total curing. However, along with Litchi's ending where she was driven to tears after possibly being revealed of the consequences of her actions, it could be a catalyst of her finally realizing the folly of her obsessive selfishness and decided to make amends by helping Bang recover it (because she probably figured that Relius will NOT use it for curing her). So in a sense, it could be saving her from her life of 'anti-villainy'.

I don't know if the JBBS forum has this posted, but a friend of mine has watched Litchi's Arcade Story... and her final opponent is Rachel. Winning here counts as being beaten, Litchi is on her knees as Rachel lectured her about something, and even Kokonoe also joins in lecturing. But at the end, Litchi was left in tears, crying. My take: I would think that in conjunction with that bits of info with Relius, Bang and Rettenjou... I surmise that Litchi's research was used to help Relius modify the Rettenjou so it takes Hazama to activate the Day of Destruction with it. I think Rachel and Kokonoe was really giving the important bits and calling Litchi out to let her desire to save Arakune steer the world into destruction (or that she also fails to save Arakune now that he's even crazier despite saner speech pattern) and she's deeply regretting it. (I'm still hoping her return to the good side after this) Feel free to correct. P.S: Sub boss 1: Taokaka Sub boss 2: Bullet Sub boss 3: Bang As of Bang Sub boss 1: Arakune Sub boss 2: Azrael Sub boss 3: Litchi

Okay, to each to his own. I try to be as polite as possible. But... hm, how do I say it most politely... Well let's just say I stand by on my opinion and think that the opinions of how 'Litchi is self destructive, obsessed, stupid, fool as that quoted guy said' is just pure bullshit and I will shatter every of that statement when I see one... even if it gets me banned. OT: I guess that's why Relius eyes on Bang so much these days.

You said 'Reflecting her actions in CS is fine'? Uh... isn't that what we've been doing in these latest posts? With me supporting and sympathizing, and the majority of the rest thinking of how unsympathetic she is. Please, if there's something wrong in my definition of 'reflecting her actions', you can tell.

No, you shouldn't be sorry. This is a STORY THREAD, we spoke of Litchi's potential of roles in-story, and just recently, scans about her from Famitsu are released. I don't see why that counts as a derail. (By all means, mods, if I sound like I'm being an ass to your standards, drop me the banhammer already)
