Ryuusei no Rockman Episode 10 (Spoilers of awesome)

Shakai

Warrock: What be that music I hear?!
Subaru: I hear nothing, ya ninny. Go sleep.

Next day.

Huh, is it just me or is Gonta fatter after denpa hekan and...Hey! Let's all ignore fatty and look! It's Misora-chan on the telly! Woo! Misora! Misora! *shot*

Soooo....Some stuff...not important. Hey let's all run after what should be a concert if I can understand japanese as well as I like to believe I can (which is like barely). Annnnnnd, our star ain't here ;_; You make us fanboys sad, Mr. Agent guy.

Sooo...they all get tickets or something? And Gonta gets some uhh...lucky one? With a heart? Yay for him?

Let's cut away from Gonta and cut to sleep time! Woo! More music you say? WHYYYYYYYY! SUBARU, CAN'T YOU HEAR IT?! DX<

So War Rock goes and investigates on his own! GASP! IT'S A ...HARP THING...

"Hahpu! *some incomprehensible stuff*"

"War Rokku! *some more incomprehensible stuff*"

Mortal Kombat Announcer: FIGHT! (*not really*)

...Apparently harps can fight. Who'd have thought...

Soo....What's this?! Denpa Hekan Sound Effects?! GASP! Warrock! Watch out for those speakers of doom! *Thwang* OHNOES MACHINE GUNS DX<

Soooo, Subaru wakes up, War Rock isn't in the Transer. Huh... He takes a look outside...Bad stuff's goin' down! Gasp! Subaru Run!

Soooo, Rock's getting totally owned, and Subaru shows up.

"War Rokku! War Rokkuuuu!!!!!!!"

Harp Singer: EhhhH?! *gets the hell outta there* just as the coppers show up too

Surrounding Subaru. Good thing War Rock went and hid in the transer just when he did.

And sooo...now we flash back to Agent Guy

"Gasp, Misora-chan! You're there! Coolness!"

And guess what? The fan service budget went up. Because the first episode we SEE Misora in, we see her in a bathing suit in a hammock. Woo! You've made a happy fanboy, Ryuusei no Rockman.

Darn! You beat me to it!
Ah, well.

Apparenlty, the noise bothered WarRock so much, it actually kept him quiet during class. And Subaru's like, "omg...he didn't speak!"

And Harp is UGLY!!! Good grief! And a wuss too, cause Rock totally owned her before she Denpa Henkan-ed. After that...well... insert much pummeling of WarRock here

Ah, yes. I believe Harp is based off a type of harp used by the Greeks known as a lyre. I think, key word: think there's a constellation for the Lyre. I'll have to double check...

And why is Harp inhabiting Misora's music player, huh? Doesn't this chick have a Transer like the rest of the world?
Either way, Harp is ugly.

Hmm. Seems like both Subaru and Misora willingly and casually stick to their FMs, so it's probably safe to say that neither Harp nor WarRock uses particularly unethical means to accomplish their goals. Therefore, it would seem like both Rockman and Harp Singer are superhuman vigilantes, fighting for justice and all of that good stuff. However, there's plenty of blatant mutual aminosity between Harp and WarRock, and by extension, Rockman and Harp Singer will no doubt see each other as enemies, at least for the time being.

It also seems that for the time being, Subaru is going to be spending some quality time down at the precinct. I'd bet that for at least the next episode, Harp Singer is going to take over Rockman's role of beating back viruses and marauding FMs.

This could either get really, really interesting, or it could be blown off with a cliché anime rivalry. I'm hoping for the former and counting on the latter.

Remember that Denpa Henkan causes a power-up like Cross Fusion powered up the Rockbuster. Reminds me, why is there only a rockbuster for Rockman, but not for WarRock?

Yes, there is a Lyre constelation. And Harp is supposed to look like one.

Misora's too cool for transers! Hmm, transers actually seem like a step back from PETs now.

It would appear that Harp resides in Misora's guitar...not that other device beside her.

Perhaps if she wasn't drawn so crudely...Harp would be kind of cute.

Or they'll just be at each other's throats until something happens to either make them both work together, or make one of them attempt to cease the hostility.

...I believe Harp Note is a completely different being from Harp Singer.

I could have sworn the toys had called Harp Singer as Roll when shown a few months ago. I guess they changed it. o.O

That to me just seems unlikely. Name changes are rare in the extreme in anime and usually follow a dramatic transformation (we're talking a completely new character, both physically and emotionally).

Roll may have been a working title before Harp Singer was decided upon, but there remains the possibility that Harp Singer could become Roll. (Unlikely, yes, but indeed possible.)

Considering she is a Rock 'n Roll reference in and of herself, it would make sense.

True.

She's also shown clearly as opposed to the evil and shadowy guys that have already appeared and thus have no purpose being shadowed anymore yet they still are. Still Harp at least doesn't seem as agressive as Ox and Cignus were. She chatted for a bit instead of attacking. But she does look rather shifty.

DanSidney · Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:59 am Post subject:

Well, we may not have her called "Roll" but she still is the "Roll" of the series, like "Zero" is the "Blues" of the X series and "Alia" is "Roll". :]
I've actually always pictured her as a mixture of Roll and Blues in the same character... at the same time "pink female character" and "rival/companion character". Now, if she only will stick to using swords, and we're all set.

In any case, this eppy was kind of plain IMO. Cool, we see the new FM, but there's really LITTLE about her. I mean... she doesn't even move! All she does is standing in the same spot kicking WarRock's ass by plaing some strings on her guitar!

Looking carefully at that blonde girl after Misora in the intro, it's clear she's holding some kind of PMP with earbuds in her ears. It's actually similar to what Misora had next to her on that hammock in the last scene, and resembles something in between the Creative Zen Sleek and the Microsoft Zune. The pose is actually quite similar to that picture of Meiru that so many people made iPod parodies out of.

This is very weak grounds for speculation, but I'll go ahead anyway. It's entirely possible that her character is associated with music in a similar way to Misora. She could wind up performing a Denpa Henkan with Harp to create Harp Note. Heck, I'll go so far as to say it's possible both she and Misora are present in the Harp Singer Denpa Henkan, and that depending on who's dominant in the Henkan, the result could be either Harp Singer or Harp Note.

Sorry about that. What I meant to say is that I was agreeing with everything they were saying.

And Tachyon, your theory about Harp Note/Singer is just plain weird.

Wow Tachyon...Wow...You like...lost me entirely. Yet I feel I understand.

And what Meiru iPod parody are you guys talking about? Could someone PM me a link?
