http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_7 There's a big ol' mess of text somewhere called Hand In Killer7: Kill The Past, Jump Over The Age, but where the fuck's the link?! Anyway...if I can't find it, I'll post all text here. In closing, 1up.com and it's lackeys are all fucktards. -Tabris |

Indeed, they are. And bless you for making this post, my good man. Until that document can found, we can oggle this in the meantime: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/fi...iller7_plot.txt Though personally, I think Harman is the "Devil" aspect and Kun Lan is the "God" aspect. Christianity is often questioned in Japanese anime and games. What an idea, huh? |

Okay, kinda doubt any of us have the time yet for any deep discussion, but here's something I so need to point out: parallels to post-9/11 America. Following an act of terrorism (by religious themed suicide bombers, no less), the American government (the target of the Heaven Smiles, it seems) places strict control on air travel and the media. I think that's the gist of it. There is no freakin' way this can be just coincidence. And then there's the reoccuring theme of East vs West: Japan vs America, Kun Lan vs Harman Smith... -Tabris |

...Is it just me, or is there sort of this...twisted Christian theme? The Heaven's Smiles, Kun Lan's Hand of God, Harman Smith's possessing the power of a "God-Killer", the Killer7 bring to mind the Seven Deadly Sins, Ulmeyda and his twelve figurines are borderline overt, and...does Curtis Blackburn strike a crucifixion poise during the fight with him? If so, does that make Pedro Montana Judas? And Dan Smith Longinus? Although Longinus didn't receive any special weapon to...euthanize Jesus, for a lack of a less offensive way of putting it, he does receive a weapon from an angel (albeit a fallen one) to kill Curtis. I'm looking too much into this, aren't I? |

Towards the end of Angel, Kun Lan comments on how the world has grown small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, like a PDA. There's an inside joke, since this "Yakumo" much of the plot revolves around is not only a series of papers that hold the secret to controlling the world, but is also the name of a German company that makes PDAs. Kun Lan's comment extends beyond that, of course. All the world has been connected- and thus, made smaller- by the internet, which has become an intergral part of our lives. We rely on it for just about everything, but we often fail to realize how easy it is to manipulate information on the internet. To control information- to control what "truth" is- is to control the world. *blush* I didn't do too bad, did I? ~Meiko |

No, not at all! You girls are doing a hell of a lot better than the folks at SIAW. This went totally untouched over there. Kinda doubt anyone there was old enough to play Killer7, much less get any of it. Man...I have really gotta put some work into MEAT. Plot analysts oughtta have fun with that one! -Tabris |
