Beast 24 Talkback (SPOILERS)

Why would they have a random generic navi who's silhouette looks just like Colonel's chase after Iris?

I'm just trying to reconcile a plot hole. After all, there are plent of generic Navis with silhouettes that look similar to Rockman's, so why not one that happened to be similar to Colonel and got taken over by the Beast Factor?

Maybe Beast 12 was some kind of foreshadowing thing they used for when Colonel was taken over by the Beast Factor? Or it was just a lazy thing on the artist's part? Hrm.

I'd find it odd that Colonel wouldn't have a backup somewhere. I mean to me it'd make since to have Colonel backed up after Tadashi removed the emotional data (then created Iris), but that's me. Colonel's death/sacrifice will probably become a big emotional drive in the final episode with Rockman or maybe even Iris.

I miss Colonel! First he and Barrel poof with Duo in Stream, now this... gaaahh. Writers do it to make fangirls angst T_T

Toxicity break *whew!*

The question is, are we absolutely sure it was Colonel's shadow that was trailing Iris?
For all we know it could be Z-Darkman that was tailing her. It was Z-Darkman that put the tracer on her, after all.

That was my thought, both Colonel and Darkman have capes, I just hadn't got around to checking the Episode yet.

I have to agree with Sol here. Just because it's anime doesn't mean they'll want to override their own rules all the time. They probably just meant for a 'dignified end' for Colonel.

That aside, there was, in fact, not enough time for them to rest up and recover, especialy considering Cross Fusion in Beyondard exhausts them much faster -not sure if this is a side effect of the 10 mins time limit or just the unstability of the enviroment; and as Crimson Seiko brought up I imagine it could be a very risky gamble to try to dive into a dimensional area in a place like beyondard. I don't know HOW functional or stable that DA is either, since apparently even Diveman and Cloudman had a time constrain despite being inside the DA.

you would think that their navis combined power could have broken the DA. If shademan could easi;y destroy a DA, the so can Rockman&co

Nenji · Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:14 am Post subject:

Actually, I'm inclined to think that the Dimensional Area is fine, but that Navis who are not Darkloids or Zoanaroids cannot normally make use of them.

I've ALWAYS wondered why they didn't simply substantiate Rockman and Blues into the real world, instead of going through Cross Fusion. It could have made sense if it was Sci Lab who initiated the Dimensional Areas but that's not the case. But, in Beyondard they can substantiate for small periods of time which makes me think that:

1. Beyondards DAs are slightly different to ours (Netto and co's)
or
2. That there is a program in Beyondard that allows Navis to synchronise with a Dimensional Area.

Oh and don't forget that Viruses have NEVER had issues with DAs.

The anime is really written without the intention of the viewers questioning anything, huh...? I guess we forget it's a kids' anime...

Yes but what would be the fun in not questioning it?

Just a question of clarification.

If a Navi is returned to his or her PET before the 10 minute limit is up, are 3 hours still required for recharging?

The least childish? Have you seen Axess? It was dark.

The theme behind Axess was pretty dark and deperate for a show aimed preteen kids, but the fillers killed it. There would be a heavy plot-churning episode followed immediately by a light-hearted filler or two. (At least it wasn't as bad as Stream's bipolar complex.)

I'll have to concur with Zabi. Beast, though not the ravaged post-apocalyptic wasteland we all want to see*, keeps the plot rather consistently serious.
