.hack//G.U. SPECULATION THREAD AND THEORIES

Endrance appears to give Haseo his "power" so that he can defeat whichever thing he was fighting at the time. I think it was an AIDA...I'll have to look. Anywho, he gives it to Haseo, tells him to "wake up" or something to that affect, and then flickers out. Giving up his power means no more avatar (at least I believe that to be the case) so he can't be in the little Avatar battle space. There's a basic idea of what happens. If you want more, ask someone who actually knows Japanese. o_o;

Yes, but then there's Endrance's Lost Weapon to take into account, which means that Endrance probably isn't literally losing his Avatar, so much as he's letting Skeith channel his power while it still resides in Endrance's actual PC. Just like Blackrose can channel the Bracelet's smell.

Not sure if this has been stated before or not, but I saw a gameplay video for GU NA version and there seems to be Jap Audio and English Subtitles.

Yes, lots of discussion of it has been mentioned in the appropriate threads.

u mean it was endrance who held the "true power" of skeith and not haseo?

I think AuraTwilight meant that Endrance 'Gave' Skeith some power.

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 4:12 pm

Exactly. He channeled some of Macha's power to boost Skeith.

.Scythe · Post by **.Scythe** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 4:20 pm

u think he gave him the power? but if skieth was born within haeso before.(which we can conclude because of ep 19 when Yata says he is a factor holder) then would that mean taht the skieth in vol 2 would be his original form? or at least be there before. Haeso was in his 3rd form before.

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 8:47 pm

No, Skeith is being BOOSTED.

azure_flames · Post by **azure_flames** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 8:51 pm

It also seems to be a permanent boost. Since many of the other fights have the "powered-up" Skeith. But that's about enough for me. I don't think I should keep talking about Vol.2 stuff in the Vol.1 thread. o_o;

OHHHH i thought it was a transformation. now that i think about it does makesense. my bad

Dragoon2044 · Post by **Dragoon2044** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 9:55 pm

the boost Skieth gets could merely be a game mechanic. in other words, since we're going into the 2nd volume people will get bored if we let them use the 'same old skeith', we'll let Skeith 'evolve'. it also ties into the idea that Haseo is a multi-weapon. However, Haseo being a multi-weapon is unrelated to the power boost Skeith recieves. i'm not sure how the lost weapons are to be used. are they keys or what?

edit: its probably plot related but we don't know for sure.

from the looks of the recent trailer, it looks the intensity of the avatar battles has gone up a few notches; in difficulty.

From what it seems, the Lost Weapons are for exorcizing the AIDA out of players without Avatar Fights. AKA, fights against Bordeaux, Sakaki, and whoever else would need it.

.Scythe · Post by **.Scythe** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 8:13 pm

so they are for the non- epitaph users..ahhh. sounds good. so without them is there no way to get the aAIDA out w/o killing them? Also. i would think they also would have a special effect on epitaph users as well.

do you think Genocide of the Unfaithful refers to those that didnt beleive everything is basically going to a hellish state. (Meaning people didnt believe that AIDAs are hurting the players.)

azure_flames · Post by **azure_flames** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 7:44 am

Actually, the Lost Weapons will go to our epitaph-weilding hero type people Haseo and co. But in a fight against an AIDA-infected PC you can't really go into an an avatar fight every single time. So you probably use the Lost Weapon as an exorcism tool. It kills off the AIDA inside the PC. Or something like that. I suppose it's there for some reason, like maybe something similar to what happened when you overused DD happens if you overuse your avatar. Or something. I don't know. I slept three hours and have to go to work. So it's probably something like that.

And uh...Most of the GU meanings referred to what was happening in the Interim Reports. It was more of Jun's little interpretations of GU for what was going on at various stages of the project. I don't think it refers to anything after the Reports.

Sorry I've only read 1-4 and not the rest.

.Scythe · Post by **.Scythe** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 5:29 pm

yup thats true. So the Lost weapons have effecys like the bracelets? Maybe they are related

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:20 pm

Well, duh, of course they're related. The Lost Weapons channel the power of the Phases, and the Phases have the same power as the Bracelet.

i find it strange that the giver, Aura, would hand out the the bracelt that contains the skll DD and yet...she is so frail and weak.

I question to the fact can she have her own defenses?
