A couple of things I'm a bit confused about when it comes to the sequence of events. But, if I'm understanding things correctly, some kind of apocalypse happened and Haku and his brother, his brothers wife, and child and any other remaining humans were now living in underground cities. Haku's brother seems to be doing research on making the surface of the earth habitable or to at least make humans more resilient to be able to survive on the surface. There are other labs where other people are doing similar things. Decoys end up being the result of one of those experiments. Haku's brother has some kind of breakthrough with his own research, and Haku volunteers to be his guinea pig. This is where it starts to get a bit fuzzy for me. Did the brothers experiments involve putting Haku in some kind of cryogenic sleep? Well, it seems that sometime after this event humans started melting and turning into curses and humanity turned against itself before someone finally decided to just nuke (I'm using this term loosely) everyone from space or at least a good portion of people. Haku's brother made it out alive and decided to create more Decoy's himself since beside himself they seemed to be the only other living beings left. The Decoys in this particular area at least began to thrive under Haku's brother who's now the Emperor.
However, being the only human around made him kind of lonely so he found another lab, or his old lab (?) and started doing research again on how to turn the curses back to human, and created those masks in the process. And he now wants to use or get some information from a lab in Tusukuru to continue this research? That's what I believe to understand so far, any corrections would be appreciated. |
Very good episode. Finally the action will start ;)
btw. I read this on the reddit discussion: They skipped the (other) lab and Kuon's lap pillow yo. Infodump was fine tho, viewing the event from the Emperor, kinda put in perspective what the disaster did. Wasn't expecting the melting to be at random times. What does this guy mean with skipped? Anyone can explain? :confused: |

Jesus christ... I want to see that scene. Hopefully somehow the game will get once some kind of mod with eng subs - but probably not :( I hate it when story gets skipped, even when it might not be important. Also there is like no lets play video avaible of it on YouTube. So I could atleast check out the scenes without knowing what they are talking about. Same goes with that one mission that got skipped in the anime. :D:(
Maybe some spoilers from the game: Spoiler:

It will be later, probably. Same as figt with Benawi and Kuroh.

There are some differences from the game: Spoiler for difference with game:
When the emperor mentioning first teaching the decoys, it feels very similar to what Hakuoro did. So I think this is also a reflection of what could happen to Hakuoro if he stayed awake for a long time. There are some added information in the anime: Details of the research of Haku's brother. I'm not sure is it canon, but if it is that would mean Haku might live significantly longer than normal human, perhaps more than hundreds of year like his brother. This episode is very well handled, though with some changes that may affect overall theme. The camera work of Haku looking at his sister in law is somewhat sexy, as a subtle hint of his feelings toward her. Not particularly important, but that's a nice touch. |

The rest of the details were explained here. Yamato's emperor wants to wake him up for the sake of humanity. Tusukuru's position is it is a bad idea. |

While the Hakuoro half could maybe agree to restore humanity to some degree, his other half (the bad one) in all likelihood would oppose it, and this could lead them to separate again. Now just imagine what kind of mess this could lead to. Suffice to say that I think Vurai and the Dii half of Iceman would probably get along like a house on fire. |

As you already said the other side is the problem. (Although i believe the reason he is sealed is that he still fights that side) ---- on another node... Hakurou was called Ouro instead of emperor, any reason for that? Cause I am rather sure he was the Emperoro of Tsukuru, with tsukuru by now spanning all over Japan. |

Oh wow, they put all the cards on the table in this episode. I'm a bit rusty with the lore since it was 9 years ago but I remember the curse was because of something the humans did to Hakurou's family.
P.S - That Oboro pornstache... |

Thank you both for the explanations. That explains why when telling Haku about the Decoys there was a picture of a man in a mask as well. I guess this is where watching the first anime or playing the first game might have done me some good. Well, I could still play the first game. |
Man I'm really in love with the new ED.

Hakuoro is a god, so he will kinda live forever. Whats about kuon? :D |
