Well, they certainly have the same character designer. So, my question is, just how convoluted do you guys want Sheryl's lineage to be?

So Sheryl is some sort of Ranshe clone with Mao Nome's blood? Or, how about a Mao clone! Or maybe Grace was originally Mao's daughter, and Sheryl her daughter. Or how about Mao's son and Ranshe had an affair, and Ranshe was pregnant and had a child without her husband knowing! WHAT IF, WHAT IF, MAO WAS ACTUALLY A MAN, BABY!

Safe assumption, Grace calls Sheryl the 9th Fairy (or was it 8th, someone should check for me ), which certainly sounds to me like there were previous test subjects. And blood keeps being brought up when we know that's exactly the kind of experimentation they've been doing. It tells us nothing. At this point, if Kawamori goes back this late in the game and starts throwing plot twists and out of this world coincidences at us, it will ruin any sense of storytelling in this series. I guess this kinda thing works for the "Lost" crowd, but I think its just totally nonsense. To me, Sheryl's story is far more compelling as the woman who was discarded not once but twice; the first time by her parents, and the second time by the people who used her in some very dangerous, and most likely illegal experimentation. She is left to die, but instead stands up and fights and in the end probably is a key to the Frontier's success.

She's an interstellar super star, yet no one would notice the "Nome" name? Ozma hasn't said a peep about any possible connection, and he was there when the 117th got hit.

What I meant was, and this is how it came off to me, that Sheryl Nome is a total fabrication, she in reality was just another homeless girl that Grace picked up to experiment on. That was the impression I get from that scene. Maybe I am reading too much into it, I don't know. And I don't recall that issue with the blood, either, other than the fact they had clearly done something to it. Had she been Mao's granddaughter, I think this would have played out entirely differently. Somebody would have said something about it by now.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that Sheryl Nome was not her real name. And any anomalies with her blood are most likely the result of the experimentation.

And this really works with the fact that Sheryl was the 8th or 9th (don't recall, too lazy to go back and look), Fairy, was it? It sure sounded like they were running experiments on several subject, Sheryl not being the first.

Stay away from K-Lite, stick with CCCP. CCCP will play 99% of all anime releases.

And they are often quoted as saying they didn't.

Yeah, I dunno... MISA

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Dude, the protrusion is there. I don't know what you are looking at. I don't see any inconsistency.

That was my thinking, as well.

I think that's looking way too much into it. They revealed her to be a random homeless girl, I think going back at this point would be silly. I'm thankful they went this route, otherwise this would all be a bit ridiculous and silly.

I don't imagine this current incarnation of Batman will go on long enough to see the character return. There are too many villains for them to bring into the reborn franchise before revisiting Two Face. I'm sticking with no.

Fixed!

Ray Stevenson and Frank Castle is pure win, but the movie will probably still stink.

Frank Miller shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a movie production.

The ASS-1 was the SDF-1.

No

Yup, I actually like this alot better than some big, convoluted mess.

Well, I'm in the "can't wait for 'The Dark Knight Returns'" crowd.

That "Monster Girl" pic is so wrong...

You should be forced to change your name.
