Report Theusis3's Profile

Welcome Back! Interesting that you were forced to expound on your theory since you found the forum posts lacking, that is exactly as I felt. A fair amount of times I read alot of episode discussion threads in depth if I'm very interested in the anime in question (with an eye out to avoid devastating spoilers), but I don't often contribute since often others already addressed my sentiments. But yes your posts in Kami nomi were quite strong and are in line with my own train of thought.

Sure I'll accept the friend request, we don't have the exact same ratings on everything but there is a fair amount of common ground. If you ever wanna discuss something we both have watched/read then feel free to message me!

I have to applaud your strong post in the Kami Nomi season 3 episode 12 forums.

First off you have a strong analysis of the current relationship state between Keima and the main females. I concur with basically everything written as it's spot on and in line with my own views.

More importantly though was your discussion of Keima X Chihiro. After sifting through 350 odd posts for the episode, I had not seen one post that articulated an accurate interpretation of their dialogue outside Katsuragi's house. Even though there had been a few interesting observations and analysis, i was losing faith that an astute member would ask the basic questions and thus hit on the (sadly seemingly not so) obvious ramifications of the dialogue. When Chihiro asks the 2 questions of why he dated her and if she had a goddess inside of her, he responds that she doesn't and that's not why he went on the date. The question any mildly intelligent viewer needs to ask is WHY did he lie with that answer, and WHY could he not tell her the truth. Your point nearly fully addresses this



The main line here being what would happen IF he said that he thought she might have a goddess inside of her (which we ofcourse know was the case and the whole reason for the date). This would be a concise and truthful answer. The thing is that Chihiro would then start connecting the dots wondering WHY was she even being probed as a candidate in the first place. She couldn't have been randomly picked, and the other goddesses all happen to have close relationships with Keima that are filled with prior romantic moments/conquests. Sure Chihiro doesn't know all the details like us viewers, but she knows some of the goddesses quite well and she knows that keima has romantic ties to them to varying degrees. That will force her to contemplate (and possibly ask) what similarities SHE has to the Goddesses, since Keima clearly thought she was a candidate (ofcourse this is under the assumption that he told her the partial bare minimum truth with his response). While the memory wipe deals with the actual conquest, it doesn't wipe out all the interactions and familiarity the females had with Keima, which is why they always sorta remembered/recognized him to some extent, as is made more apparent in the manga up to this Arc. So either Chihiro will start realizing the truth, or will follow up Keima's answer asking if they had any past romantic connection that would have merited the possibility of a goddess taking over her. At that point Keima will have to come clean to the fact that they had a previous romantic connection/conquest.

So TLDR Keima does not want her to know about their past romantic rendezvous. There are many reasons for this including that as soon as this came to light between the two of them they would be forced to confront it, this time with most of the truth out their and exposed. This will likely lead to even more heartbreak for Chihiro (if that can be imagined..), since even if Keima loves her and want's to be with her now (as most believe) he can't. This is why he says at the end to himself that he is sorry and that's not what he wanted to answer her, followed by his first tears in the series.

Yep, that was definitely an epic final battle. I really love the detail/colouring in the picture too.

No I haven't watched that far yet. I'm slowly progressing with the anime (Stopped after Aoshi's arc to read the manga, but I picked it up again now), but I most usually watch fillers for a fun breather and change of pace. Though I heard from another that the filler arc is actually semi-serious, well, nothing can really be bad if it involves Kenshin, Sano, Yahiko and Kaoru-Dono ^^.

Excellent :)

Oh yeah, just to let you know ahead of time, the anime enters fillers after episode 62 all the way until the end. The "Enishi"/Jinchu arc is continued in the manga at chapter 152 (just in case you don't read the material that was already covered in anime form, though I have a feeling you probably will :P).

What were your thoughts on Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen? I see you gave it a 10 and went straight to the main series after :P. I actually watched the OVAs last, so it had a huge impact on me (even though I read that arc in the manga already). You were probably surprised to see how different Kenshin acts 10 years later in the beginning of the main series right?

Good to see you progressing, enjoy ^^.

Hey man, thanks for the greeting message! You can comment on my profile at any time you wish (I don't usually use inbox). I'm glad you could appreciate the comments I make, and you could get some insight from my profile, I do put quite a bit of time and thought into them both ^^.

Also, yes... Samurai X. Wow. I can't really form much words, but since you too are now watching it, I don't really need to any ways right? Haha

Yes, the moment I saw Sieghart on your favourite characters list I knew that you were an enlightened person. That was one of the best twists in story writing history (Rave, one of my all time favourites, along with Rurouni Kenshin). You also like FMAB too, so we'll definitely be on good terms ^^.

Nice to meet you.

You´re Welcome and Happy New Year
