Bokurano

sorry for the confusion.

you're right, Chizu was picked to pilot since Kako was killed prematurely. But, I was saying, since 14 people signed the contract, that it would require 14 pilots. Kokopelli already said his didn't count. Also, I don't see her as never getting involved. It's just my hunch.

I changed my opinon of Kodama after reading his fight in the manga (chapters 6-7). They draw a much better picture of him... I won't go into it here, I posted in the manga section.

...i've stopped reading the manga, due to some differences in chronology between the anime and the manga. also, the anime adds lot of stuff about the Japanese government early on that the manga simply doesn't have.

i wasn't really into this series when i watched the first episode..
now, it's a damn good series to me..currently on episode 6..so, according to Wiki..there's a slight change in some characters' storyline. I will definitely read the manga soon.

*downloading episode 7*

Bokurano - Episode 08 - The Triad

Your number is up, slut!

So this episode pretty much confirms that the other robots are also piloted, and most likely by kids as well. They often show shots of the robots' "faces" during the battles and they all have lights as well.

That episode was great at the end. It was such a heart-wrencher to learn those facts.

[kenren]

well.. can those two from the army even pilot Zearth? i mean.. they did not sign the contract at all.. i guess i need to wait for the next episode then.. =)

[animus]

Neither did the little girl the sister of that glasses jerk, but she has her very own seat inside the Zearth doesn't she?

As far as i know Kokopelli wasn't a kid. So it piloting isn't limited to kids only.

[Board of Command]

I never said it's restricted to kids, but I think the other pilots are kids because they were told that this is also a game.

whoa... I just checked the first ep. the enemy had 15 slots for lights (like Zearth) but only 12 were lit which meant that this wasn't its first fight.... 12 also for the second one, 14 for the third one, not sure for the last one...

because of this I don't think those are kids, at least not human kids.

Because of what? I don't see your connection here.

All the other robots have been attacking Zearth which only defended itself. also, they all had fights before. I this works like a video game. they are after somekind of goal and they have to destroy Zearth to get to it. I guess they could still be kids, but they, unlike the Zearth kids, would have to have some sort of ambition.
also, Zearth looks human. this may be just artistic, but this show is really detailed so it got me thinking that maybe the other robots look like their pilots in a way (although, now that i think about it, it wouldn't fit much with what the show's been so far... but then again Dung Beetle felt out of place at first too).

of course, it could be something completely different, and that from the other pilots point of view, Zearth is attacking them. The robot that didn't want to destroy the city puzzles me.

Because if they are human kids, that means that they must have fought elsewhere and lost the pilots (missing lights). And fighting with huge robots isnt exactly something that you can cover up easily. If they are fighting somewhere else on earth, then the Japanese government should already know about it.
