I am starting to get the feeling that Sunrise is just run by a bunch of Libras.
ie, NO ONE SEEMS CAPABLE OF EVER MAKING UP THEIR FUCKING MIND.
If they want us to believe our!Lockon is in fact dead and not coming back, okay fine. Say he’s dead and not coming back and leave it at that. Or, alternately, if they want us to be curious about the identity of new!Lockon, also fine. Don’t say anything definitively and leave us to wonder until season two actually airs.
Do not, however, just start going, “LOCKON IS DEAD LOCKON IS DEAD LOCKON IS DEAD HAI GUESS WHO’S DEAD BECAUSE IT’S TOTALLY LOCKON OBTW HERE’S SOME DUDE WHO MAGICALLY LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE LOCKON LOL COULD IT BE…LOCKON??? 8DDD”
…
Fail. ._.;
And with Graham, too: “OHAI HIS STATUS IS OFFICIALLY LISTED AS UNKNOWN OWAIT NOW WE’VE CHANGED OUR MINDS HE’S DEFINITELY DEAD OH JUST FUCK IT HERE HE APPARENTLY IS AT THE END OF EPISODE 25 SO ENJOY~”
How exactly is fandom supposed to be convinced these people are really dead when Sunrise can’t even seem to convince themselves of this? XD;;;;
(But quite frankly I can’t say that I’m complaining either way; at least they know that Tieria belongs in a schoolgirl uniform, so that’s good enough for me~. 8D ♥)
Assuming, though, that our!Lockon really is gone for good and wasn’t magically saved from the loss of an eye and potential death by virtue of being turned into a vampire COUGH, it seems like there’s two possibilities.
o1. His twin is taking on his dead brother’s name and identity.
o2. Attack of the clones!
…
COUGH. Because gee, none of this sounds familiar at all! :D
I
said it before, didn’t I? Except. Um. WAS MOSTLY JUST JOKING KTHNX. ~\(o_°)/~ …and please someone tell me I was not the only one rather amused by the fact Nadleeh lost an arm in Tieria’s attempt to go to/stay with his loud smiley idiot? >.>;;;;; (Silly schoolgirl; it didn’t work because you’re doing it wrong! It’s supposed to be your own arm that you lose! :D Tsk tsk~.)
Good god no matter how you look at it, CLAMP really has infiltrated the hell out of this series. XDXD;;
