harmless kitten Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Noel's life-link is probably (hopefully) broken, but Nu's is most likely still intact. There's been no info on it other than Hazama's blah blah blah speech.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Speaking Murokumos...I find it funny how Lambda is the only on who didn't get much character, at least compared to Mu and Nu.
harmless kitten Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 How do you 'break' a life-link? Ragna undoing her tempering? Idk. The way Terumi planned on killing everybody before the Imperator showed up just suggested to me that he didn't give a fuck about Noel anymore and there was no more life-link between them. It's not like life-links are anything other than nebulous plot devices anyway. @BlackYakuzu94: That's probably because "Lambda" as we see her in CS is just a brainwashed Nu. The real Lambda was long gone by that point, if she ever existed as anything other than a cluster of memory data and residual emotion.
Wild Candy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Wait... Didn't Terumi say he didn't need a life link because Ragna's hate (And presumably everyone else's) was enough to hold him in existence...
harmless kitten Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I believe it only works temporarily, otherwise he wouldn't need an observer. Ragna's hate was enough to sustain him before Noel observed him, but he now he needs an observer.
Kanashimi Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Speaking Murokumos...I find it funny how Lambda is the only on who didn't get much character, at least compared to Mu and Nu. Well Lamda is Nu's soul in a different body so I don't see the point of devloping a character that is someone else.
Master Of Chaos Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Life-Links are never really properly explained (Or, well....Explained period) So trying to figure out who still has one and who doesn't won't go anywhere until the next game comes out. Murokumo Catfight over Ragna. Calling it now.
NovaFortuna Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 There are good bunch of things that are used here and there constantly in the story and never properly explained.
mitsuyoshi Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Maybe they don't explained it properly to surprise everyone in the next game or is just a part of the grand plan who knows?
TD Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 somebody said during the ct era that it'll all be explained in the next game, and here we are. 4 years later. my hopes aren't up that anything will ever be explained.
mAc Chaos Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 > implying every answer won't produce another 10 questions anyway
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 > implying every answer won't produce another 10 questions anyway So after BB ends, will there be 10 BB spin-offs that explain various parts of the story?
Tokkan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I noticed in the CT novel illustrations that Saya wore a silver choker. Then I remembered that in Ragna's profile it says his treasured object is a silver bracelet/bangle. And that in the same illustration, he's wearing a silver bracelet that's identical to Saya's choker. And then I'm like "wha?!".

Sounds pretty cool.

Surf Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 So, it looks like Tsubaki dies in the WoF arc caught in the middle of the Ragna/Nu fight as Jin appears there as well. I find it funny, from the images it looks like WoF Jin still jumps in the damn calduaron after Ragna and Nu even though Tsubaki is dead. Not sure if he actually witnessed her die though. But from Hakumen words I'd find it to be likely. WoF Jin was on some other shit, seriously.

Jin: "NIIIIIII-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~~~~!!" *runs right past Tsubaki* Tsubaki: *blarg* Edited January 21, 2013 by Ctrlaltwtf
Surf Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You would think he and Tsubaki would be closer in this timeline because Noel doesn't exist in it. And he would actually you know, not freaking ditch her dead body. But I guess if he had to choose between a dead/dying Tsubaki and catching Ragna before he falls into an active cauldron, he'd choose the later everytime. Well at least he redeemed his douchebaggery by turning into Hakumen. Makes you wonder how Tsubaki would view current timeline Jin if she knew exactly what he did in the first timeline.
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Makes you wonder how Tsubaki would view current timeline Jin if she knew exactly what he did in the first timeline. She's an anime girl, she'd love him even more. "Treat 'em like dirt and they'll stick to ya like mud."
BlackYakuzu94 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 She's an anime girl, she'd love him even more. "Treat 'em like dirt and they'll stick to ya like mud." Pfft, that's every girl ever. Anyway, I'm pretty sure WoF!Jin/Hakumen was still pretty mentally unstable, and after Tsubaki died, he didn't want to lose the last thing he had in the world.....which of course raises the question, why kill Ragna in the first place.
harmless kitten Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 WOW, I thought Ragna's silver bracelet thing was just for bio stuff and would never be even mildly relevant. It doesn't make me think "decorative bracelet," though, more like "identification bracelet." There's some illegible writing scrawled on there too. That's some glare Ragna is giving Sister too...

harmless kitten Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Noel: Do you know Major Kisaragi well? Jubei: ...Yeah, I guess you could say I did. But that was a real long time ago... I reckon he don't even remember me. Noel: When he was really little? Jubei: ...Yeah, back when he still needed somebody to wipe his ass for him. If Jubei had met Jin, there was a good chance he had met Ragna before that point too. It is weird how Ragna doesn't seem to remember Jubei, but he's probably way out of it in the novel. He probably doesn't remember meeting him.
