| I just finished Texhnolyze and I think its a real masterpiece. At the end a few things were a bit confusing/complex, so I just want to check if I understand everything right. 1. First I wondered what Yoshii Kazuho (http://myanimelist.net/character/7852/Yoshii_Kazuho) wanted? Did he just started a war because he was bored of the above ground? Because he wanted to see some human action? Or was it maybe something else? 2. Why was Lukuss (Lux) actually created?** I thought that it was because the theonormal (the guys of above ground) wanted a world with only perfect people? So they put the rest underground? If so why were they imperfect? 3. What is actually going on on the above ground? What I understand of it is that they are guys who wanted so badly human evolution but gave up and accepted their deaths. Thats why they became ghosts. The guys who didnt give up went underground as the class and formed the city of Lukuss, right? What I dont understand is what they actually understand under human evolution? Also they said that they dont need raffia anymore? Why? 4. And what about this guy(http://imgur.com/a/7glSA) ? Who is he? He says to Ichise that he want him to stay above ground. Why? What does this mean? And if you watch at his legs you can actually see that he tried to texhnolyze him on a way. I thought the people above ground just accepted their death and didnt want texhnolyzation? It looks like the people on the above ground stand behind in technology vs the underworld? 5. When Kano sees that the city has become too chaotic he invades and start with his 'project' of making all the people cyborgs. He is doing this because he want to make the first step to human evolution? After the "revolution" there will be no more humans, right? 6. Why couldnt the texhnolyzed body parts and cyborgs move anymore at the end? Why could only Ishise move at the end? 7. Why did ran wanted to be killed? Because she couldnt handle that she, as the seer, drove the people of Lukuss insane with her predictions of the future? Ok sorry for all this questions :D. I just want to understand everything right :D thx in advance and sorry for my bad english xD |

| I love this series too! I think it is one of the most underrated shows out there. 1. So Yoshii was one of my favorite characters, but I'm not really sure why! I think he did grow tired of what was going on in the above ground world. It has been many years since I have seen the show though so my knowledge of what was really going on is flawed. As for the rest you have given me a reason to watch this show again post haste! I'll come back to talk more about it once I finish it again. You're English is superb :D |

| @sterkelee These are some excellent questions. I'll do my best to answer them... 1. It is never truly revealed what Yoshii's intentions are, but you do get a flashback of his interactions with Sakimura before they went underground. Yoshii says he is the only other person who would want to go there. He displays a GENUINE interest in their soceity stating he applied to go there several times. This indicates to me a dislike for his current society and I would imagine that his actions were intended to help the underground people realize their value in the context of everything else unknown to them? Or maybe yoshii had given up all hope after being the only remaining person above ground interested in humanity? 2. So it was my understanding the theonormal were not human at all. In fact, they had been receiving shipments of raffia indicating a depency on texhonlyzation at some point. However, they are no longer dependent upon it indicating even further evolution. It seems that this evolution has eradication any amount of humanity or emotion that had remained and all that is left is the appearance or actions of a human as indicated by the small talk or "human" interactions between Sakimura and his coworkers, who have no emotional investment in anything. 3. Once again, it seems they have evolved past texhnolyzation. This has left them devoid of emotion and as such, they are basically robots. One of the main themes of this show is contrasting man and machine. This means they probably no longer have a will to reproduce or form relationships but merely execute tasks based on their functions. However, without mankind providing machines with a purpose, they cannot create one for themselves, so even i they are alive, they ar basically dead. It seems their leader is the only one who retains some amount of humanity, and as such he realizes that they are all basically "dead." It's possible there are also mechanical complications, but the show does not provide detail on that as it's not actually important in light of my previous point. 4. He is the theonormal leader. As to why he wants Ichise to stay above ground, I can only speculate again. I would say it's because Ichise basically represents the hope for humanity due to his willingness to embrace raw emotion instead of ingore it for personal gain or growth/evolution. Doc technically had all of these qualities as well so if they had both decided to stay above ground, they could have potentially rekindled human society, and I think their leader, having some semblance of humanity left in him realized this as well and made an attempt to keep them there. 5. There will be no more humans, that is correct. Everybody who was texhnolyzed is no longer functional due to the destruction of the obelisk and the faces began their metamorphosis as they cling to the earth and began a "long transformation" of some sort into new beings. As to the reality of these beings, who knows. Kano could just be referring to death, after all. And Kano is doing this because, well, he is spoiled and doesn;t like the way things are. It's what he wants to do, and he honestly may think it's the right thing to do. He believes he's saving humanity. Does he view saving humanity and killing all humans as being the same thing? Who knows, we don't actually know the mechanics of the transformation process. 6. Texhnolyzed parts only work while the obelisk is alive and functional. The obelisk, or voice of the city, is actually the seer or Theoria or Ran. The obelisk dies when Ran is killed by Kano; this happens before Oonishi stabs the physical obelisk when the crowd picks up Ran and brings her to Kano. Ichise could move at the end because Doc's sells were infused into his equipment and their life force fueled the gear instead of the obelisk's life force. It is "raffia" in a sense as it is later revealed that raffia is created through the processing of human beings. 7. Ran wanted to be killed because not only was she the hope of the people, but she was the very thing allowing the texhnolyze technology to function. Additionally, she was the obelisk and therefore her existence to some degree fed off raffia, or in another way you could say people were constantly being killed for the sake of her existence. She also knew everything that was going to happen. She knew the pain everybody would go through and hoped that by dying, the future might change. It seems like the death of the obelisk drove the texhnolyzed to insanity as well, so that might be a reason she would have for living. It's possible the desire to live in light of this throught process would make her feel guilty as well and extremely conflicted, causing her to ahte herself if she didn;t already based on everything else. |
