FloydBt said: Well i guess Jill referred to him as god because he is the one on control and it's clear that he has lived longer then ordinary humans and by that logic he can't really be called human.Aversa said: And now on to the next bit. It's finally explained how this society and it's hatred against Norma in this world has developed. So it was a way of control after all, keeping an ethnic minority in the world to hate so that the mana introduced society would not hate each other. And that way they won't cause a revolt or a war. . I honestly have no idea how that explanation make sense to you. In fact, to me, it shows how poorly written the story is. Right before the explanation about how Mana came into the world, they said Embryo recreated humanity. Maybe he did the God thing, maybe they are in the Matrix, maybe some Ancient Humans agreed to have their genes manipulated, maybe they are factory fresh. Either way, why does a humanity that is designed to be peaceful and intelligent need something to hate and be so stupid they believe baby girls threaten their existence? Even if they did, why does it seem like the existence of the real Ancient Humans seem to be unknown to the mana users? It looks like they had a really needed something to rally against, the people storming what appears to be the Mitsurigi Empire and making one hell of a mess would have done the trick. When Jill was explaining her story she mentioned that the most importuned thing for the peaceful humanity was the technology Mana. And the she mentioned genetical engineering she also mentioned that Mana was needed to give everyone what they wanted so they would not look for an excuse to wage war. So i think the most importuned thing to keep people from waging war is not genetical engineering but Mana. The genetic engineering part is a bit questionable indeed. If you create a new humanity in a lab your bound to meet resistance from the already existing humans who won't take a new comer taking over there place. Genetically modifying the exiting humans requires there cooperation and a lot of resources to achieve and again there is probably a major part of the population which will work against you because of distrust or because they don't want you to mess with their genes. Another option might be alter the genes of part of the population who are willing to cooperate and hope that the genes spread with reproduction, but this will take a long time and you will be facing some of the same problems. And this way the effect of the genes becomes less as well. Like you mentioned this population isn't as peaceful as what you want to expect from a genetically altered civilisation. The need a technology to keep themselves happy the need an ethnic minority so they wont aim their hatred against each other. And why would a peacefully country surrounded by other peaceful country need an army and a navy and weapons? Let's not forget Julio who took a howl fleet with him to wipe out to Norma. It seems to me he is rather blood thirsty for someone from a peaceful civilisation. |

| a correct decision to not kill a dragon that can sing Jill's story is a bit confusing, need more info! |

I don't think so. Embryo was trying to stop the conflicts, so i don't think he would give this power to humanity. What I can say is the dragons are a mutation, but... How could the normas, which don't have mana, transform themselves into dragons? Maybe the dragons are humans with mana. if dragons are normas, could Ange be a dragon, too? (It would be so cool!) So, Sala is a dragon. And one of the most important, I think. She has a paramail, too! Well, the anime's plot is surprising me. I didn't think that Cross Ange would make me excited every episode! |
| Jill, you forgot to mention a little something... So Vivian is a dragon. Neat. Hilda in charge... I think she'll do a better job than Salia. |
  |
| I knew, I bloody knew it. I saw this coming from a mile away. sunrise you never disappoint. still wonder why ange feels horny when bathing in dragon blood but starts puking once she finds out it's actually norma blood. |

| Amazing episode! What a twist! So the Dragons were humans after all! Though does that mean they were Norma since Vivian did turned into one? So this is why the humans were scared of Norma, it all make sense, but still stupid of them. Why the hell is this God guy tried to create a perfect paradise, just because there was endless wars and hatred all over the world? There is no paradise of some sorts. It's all delusional bullshit as my Ange has put it. Now this is his fault, if he didn't tried making a so called Paradise, there were supposed to be Norma or any Dragon in the first place. So Alektra was the first princess in the royal family. Though she doesn't look old that much. Even same with that Lord guy. Could it be they don't age :O Damn i thought Vivian was gonna die due to accidental kill! Now this changes everything. Will all the Normas eventually turn into Dragoon? I have feeling Sunrise will pull something crazy like Ange and that Red Villkiss turning into Dragons in the final battle!! Though Ange negates the Dragons effect due to her ring? Does that mean she won't be turning into Dragon any time soon? This is now Ange's time to pay back with that stupid brother of hers. I hope she kills him slowly and painfully as possible. I'm loving it!!! Good stuff Sunrise! Can't wait for the next episode!! |
| Oh wow, that was so screwed up when Ange's attention shifted from Vivian turning back into a human to the mountain of dragon corpses. I guess the norma turning into dragons is the reason why they're regarded as monsters. I wonder where all of those dragons come from then, an alternate reality perhaps? |
 |
| WHOA, WHAT?! Vivian makes a cute dragon. that curry and subsequent scurrying away. LMAO XD And Embryo, dafuq |

 |
| Another entertaining episode! |
Ill just leave it here  |
| Vivian must not die ! Well that's expected. Not surprising. Now what's the reason for the fight between norma and dragons. I look forward to finding out. |
| Gundam Yori. Dragon are humans ? dem plot twists |

| If Jill was a princess and seen all that shit, you would think she would be more understanding of everything and not act as a prison rapist in the first two episodes. *sigh* Surprising twist, but not that interesting. I'm more eager to see what will happen next. Still don't like Ange. Hate her smug and confident personality. And even worse when she is suddenly more talkative at one scene and then switches back to her regular self at another. So far, I think I like Hilda and Tusk the best. Salia is nice too. ˇˇ |

| So humans are DRAGONs or DRAGONs are humans. Nice booty from Jill. No nipples again. I cry every time. Dude name is Embryo. lol |
