Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon

[Buffalobiian]

I doubt any of the academy's kids could match Dacchan or Kazuno's awesomeness in battle. The teacher probably could in technique, but she hasn't shown to possess any supernatural powers yet.

I agree with that you've said so far Ryll (thumbs up for getting through all of that, haha).

edit: well, except for a few parts. Regarding Horizon's soul, Commie subs said that the guy implanted the Jealousy Armour into the soul of Horizon, which was then transplanted into the automated doll. He stated that the Armours were created from the emotions of Horizon, though how one would actually define a soul is debatable.

As Dacchan pointed out, you don't actually HAVE to have a soul to run an automated bot.

- Motonobu wants to blow up his own city to cause a world war, because it would be entertaining.
- Motonobu thinks this is the highest form of entertainment because all the nations are rebuilding the world by recreating history, including any and all historical wars. What he has done will somehow end the world, or cause a brand new world war, as part of saving the world. This war would not be predestined history the Sky Nations are painfully recreating. It would be something the world has never seen before.

Rather than the actual war, I understood it as that Motonobu finds people struggling/thinking to be entertaining. He said this episode that he's starting this apocalypses because it'll be the ultimate trial for people to overcome. What's interesting is that he said he'll reward the one to solve this crisis.

This is why I stressed that it allows them to operate at "Awesomeness Capacity." Motonobu had an army of automated dolls, but Kazuno wasn't the best because she was built to be better, she was better because she had something greater within her than an average automated doll. Those others are just simple androids, capable of walking on walls and murdering people. Channeling Dacchan's wife, Kazuno was something more.

She had abilities that no other doll in Mikawa's service did, and as Dacchan mentioned, she also inherited his wife's foul mouth, a trait that not everyone might like in a robot servant. She inherited more than that too, as she would threaten to murder anyone who talked down to Dacchan, only she was granted that right...just like an extremely loyal wife might to her henpecked husband.

When Dacchan took her soul-channeling gem out, she became little more than an average automated doll.

My quote was a run-on from my previous paragrapgh discussing Horizon's state. I was saying that Dacchan's example showed that you don't really have to use a person's real soul to operate an automated doll, sine he transfigured it from her ring. With that in mind, it's unclear what the nature of the "soul" in P-01S is, even if Motonobu says it's her soul.

Regarding Kazuno's wife-like perks, Dacchan also said she inherited his wife's cooking and sword skills too. Wonder if that meant his wife had telekinetic abilities, since that's what Kazuno's display essentially was. They did mention that she was teaching it to their daughter though, so it may well be just your non-gravity-powered skill that wasn't suited to fighting Gods of War.

Or...Futayo's also got superpowers.
