Why is there a black Kite in Cubia's core?

Post by Phase One: Skeith »

I'm not asking why it's in there but I'm asking what's it's purpose? It's a litte weird that it's just there.

It would've been cool if you could have fought a Shadow Kite in the last Cubia fight or something.

It's just symbolic of Cubia being Kite's shadow in every sense of the world. The Dark Kite in his core is like a copy of Kite's data. When Kite grows stronger, so does Cubia.

I think it's kinda an evil Kite because Cubia is the darkside of the bracelet. It looks like its growing inside Cubia or something, It also looks more like a darker, depressing, Kite so it could be the dark side of Kite. It makes you wonder.....

I don't think it's Tri-Edge though........

Would that explain why Blackrose mentioned that Cubia has expaned after you beat him in Outbreak? She mentioned it and a couple of other things but I kinda forgot what they were.

Cubia's Core just made me think of a womb, because of this topic.
And what does expaned actually mean?

Cubia is the Anti Existence for Kite's Bracelet, that's why Kite's image appears inside of it. It's symbolic.

As for not being able to see it, you can only see it during Quarantine iirc.

It does... if you notice the platforms that appear around Cubia are made of the same thing the Bracelet is.

Literally, two topics down from here, theres a big debate similar to this. I remember seeing it in MUTATION first as well.

My theory is that Cubia was going to sic this "dark kite" on Kite once it had gathered enough battle data, but Kite and Blackrose   destroyed the bracelet and thus, Cubia, before it had the chance

another theory is that   the battle data Cubia collects eventually becomes Tri-Edge, but I question that now as a "dark balmung" and "dark orca" appear on either side of Tri-Edge in the trailer for G.U. vol. 2

Perhaps it has something to do with the member addersses kite collected. It may have taken Balmung and Orca from there. As any one who has played Mutation-Quarentiene knows that Orca's member address is sitting there collectig dust.

Back on topic: dark Kite is there because the more powerfull the bracelet is, the more powerful Cubia is. I've played the game before and I believe that Cubia is the receiving end of what is data drained. It all has to go somewhere right? Dark Kite Appears in OutBreak because Kite data drains Magus, the Propagation. The core is the womb for the new genaration of cubia, Dark Kite

I was kind-of thinking that what if Hasao and the others were just AIs like Aura, who thought that they were real. And the one who was trying to data drain them was the enemy. Think about it. On one side: Kite, Balmong, and Orca are fighting the enemy Skeith and the other phases, while Hasao and his friends are fighting their enemy that looks like Kite. It sounds like a possiblity, but at the same time there is evidence that it isn't.

I was thinking that as well. But Haseo and the other's aren't AI's. Now, if Tri-Edge, Tri-Orca, and Tri-Balmung were trying to destroy the phases as they original did with actual players rather then AI's, It might be a little more entertaining.

How the f*ck are these last two posts even relevant to the discussion? -_-

But they have real lives. They can call people's phones, meet people IRL, go to school, etc. It's Kite, Balmung, and Orca in GU that are the AI's.
