Meh, life's full of surprises. When I first finished watching this anime, I thought there weren't any problems or questions left in the series. But after seeing what questions people asked about the series, I learn that this anime has quite a few plot holes, which I didn't expect at all (this anime, to me, seemed pretty complete). Well, it was a 12 episode series, so we can't really say there was a lot of time to explain everything. |

Towards the end of that episode when the other Reika came out, Shungo thought that the "source of her power" that Reika was talking about was that of a succubus. And then as Reika tempted Shungo, he started trembling, showing him trying to resist the temptation. So far, the only other times he had trouble dealing with temptation was when he was with Mayu because of her uncontrolled succubus powers. After taking a look at that scene again, I think I might've jumped to conclusions about the succubus thing, it just registered in my mind that Reika was a succubus since Reika never said she wasn't a succubus (plus, the somewhat confusion in subbing may have contributed since right after Shungo thoughts of Reika being a succubus, the other Reika said "Correct").
Oh, and Reika did know about her other self since she had a conversation with her other self also in episode 5. She probably knew about her other self but never knew what the source was, which was revealed in the last episode. |

| QUOTE (ChronoLegend @ Dec 24 2007, 06:40 PM) | | Umm, did anyone consider the possibility that Reika could control her powers ever since she was a kid? I think Mayu is the only succubus we know of that can't control her powers, so Reika can definitely be considered as a succubus that can control her powers (after all, Reika doesn't go through what Mayu did in the first few episodes). If Reika was able to control her powers, then she could easily keep it hidden from everyone and just seem like a normal human, just like the two green haired people (I forgot their names). Also, about the life source thing, it's just a speculation, but maybe she got it from Shungo. She did kiss him in the past, and being able to control her powers, she should be able to control how much of Shungo's life force she takes (similar to what the green haired girl did since she took enough life force to weaken Shungo, while making sure he retains his memories, unlike what Mayu did to him), so maybe she only took a tiny bit but enough to make her survive. Mayu, being unable to control her powers, probably used to always have her powers on full power, so that would explain why she took a huge chunk of life force from Shungo the first time they kissed. To sum it up, couldn't Reika simply have had good control over her powers (aside from her other self taking over, but hey, no one is perfect). |

Well that wasn't really explained very well.
Perhaps this can be the bases of the 2nd season (if there is one). an adventure about finding out why Rika's powers developed "unaturally" when she was young; perhaps due to an experiment gone wrong or something along those lines.
While this season mainly focused on Mayu the 2nd season could focus more on Rika. |

Also, I was split between Reika obtainning her succubus powers or having them naturally. As for the whole ReikaxMayu kiss I'll admit this even though it was what you would call the "Accidental Kiss" it was still cute. Also, it seems Shungo actually managed to do the same with Mayu at the end.
As for the second season thing, to be honest who knows. I mean hey it could happen couldn't it? They can have more to work with you know. Also, I kind of wonder did he obtian his succubus powers though Mayu, or was he born with it? |

Edit: don't concern yourselves too much with the question, its just me thinking too much about an anime lmfao
