ChäoS;HEAd Episode 9 Discussion

Not satisfied with the spoilers in the opening they went out and made Suwa and Hazuki scream "WE'RE VILLAINS, LOL!"(that's a second time for Suwa, but it was even more blatant), that will really screw up the impact of the scenes they're finally revealed.

Gurajioru's official(?) romanization was given as Gladiale, but I'll reject it.

I'm also particularly dissatisfied with the Takumi's excursion in the hospital ended up looking. He gets to the last floor that's washed up with a bright light instead of looking normal, turns right and faces a dark corner that looks like it only had a broken light bulb or something. Originally he's searching around on a floor that doesn't look anything unusual then "BAM!" there's a thick, pure black wall of shadow that looks like it'll either hold you back like a solid wall or will suck you in like a black hole if you touch it, the soundtrack on that scene also helps a lot.

Personal rants aside, I'll answer two of slayer's questions that are possible to be perceived from what the anime has already shown, so I don't think they qualify as spoilers, but I'll put spoiler tags just to be safe.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode was good story wise. but without the horror and suspense I really felt that something was missing (I really hope they'll do that famous Nanami **** ** * *** scene next episode - while seeing the preview I got a feeling they can still do it next episode,- it's still possible even though they pretty much emitted all the "juicy" scenes in the last episode, I still feel that they won't give up on animating that scene).

It feels that with the development of this episode,the last episode was somewhat unnecessary - they barely found some areas to connect to the last episode, so it's importance was less than minimal to the story.

We learned that some of the characters that seemed to be innocent are not that innocent at all.

We are also continuing to learn about Rimi's and beginning to learn about Taku's true identity, which should be explained thoroughly in the next episode.

In conclusion: I must say that personally I found this episode to be really interesting.

If they do the next one right, it should be epic. If they do it so called half-right, it should be interesting.

That is all.

Plot thickens, plus Kanon and Elfen Lied cameos.

So, how many routes does the VN have? IE, how easy is it to follow the 'true' route? Thing is, I'm willing to try the game, but I prefer my stories to be set for me — I just don't have the patience for choose-you-own-adventure stories.

Meaning of Takumi's dream. Time travel, time manipulation? Is it possible future Takumi with Takumi when he was young traveled through space and that is how Shogun survived from the future where he was supposed to die???

BIG spoiler DO NOT READ IF YOU AREN"T PREPARED, but it will explain

MasterOot said:


Thanks and thanks and thanks. Man all are so supportive here! :)
Your explanation is the second one that cleared more things for me. I did not that about Shogun and now it is making sense. I wonder though why would the Takumi fear shogun? Does he have any motivations to be scared other than what freaked him out?

I wonder if all that Takumi is doing now was something SHogun liked when he was Takumi's age with better health?

Another question? Is Rimi from the future or realbooted somehow by Shogun?

Takumi believes that Shogun is the New Gen Killer or something related ( simply a risk to his life)

Kanon and Elfen Lied cameos? Where?

Jarmel said:
The more I hear of this story, the stupider it sounds. Seriously though, fun^10? Does fun^100 destroy gods or something?

Anyway if that plot twist is true then where are they going to go from here? Deathmatch between shogun and Takumi?

naikou said:
So I've been thinking.

If fun^10 x int^40 = Ir2, then:

fun = log( Ir2 / int^40)

An infinite fun machine is within reach, gentlemen. All we need to do is figure out how to limit "int" to zero. Endless possibilities await. It would be better than the improbability drive.

naikou said:
Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. Takumi's equation has inspired me. Soon I will be creating my own D-sword. If you'd like one, I can send you one for the low price of $10,000. From there, you will be able to create more D-swords with your D-sword, thus enabling you to sell more D-swords for $10,000 each. In addition, each person you sell a D-sword to will pay a commission to the first person who sold him/her a D-sword. You'll be fabulously rich in days if you get in on this early.

Sound like a plan?

naikou said:
No, it's a relatively simple process. I could give you a hint for say... $100. Or if you want to try figuring it out on your own, this anime might shed some light on the issue.

It feels like Takumi is stuck between multiple dimensions and they're all slowly becoming one....or something like that. I'm guessing there can only be one of you if all dimensions merge so the whole thing with not wanting Takumi to awake may have something to do with Rimi not wanting to see Shogun (or the other Takumi) disappear. I'm guessing when you awake all of your other selves merge with you.

With the multiple dimensions in mind we can assume each Takumi has the power to make things that happened in the other's dimension happen in his own or possibly just switch places with that Takumi. So when he was a kid and he wanted his bus to crash he could have switched places with another Takumi from a dimension where the bus did crash or something like that.
