Perhaps...Tri-edge isn't "evil."

Well some data must have survived with "His epitaph is awakening!" so who really knows what happened in the fire.

hm while i respect others perspective on this topic i have heard speculations of the fire releasing data from the bracelet that corrupts kite to make tri-edge. I find that theory to be complete bull ****. but they may not be all wrong. What if the fire caused data from all that kite data drained to be released and fled from Kite. hiding itself in essential data. Since CCCorp used peices of old data to make the new game their transfer might be likely but thier existance would be brief if they didn't leach off of other data to reconstruct themselves thus infusing themselves in the new characters made in the game. The game was protecting Kite because of his bracelet and brought him over and infused him with an AI with the purpose of protecting the world. So he goes out to try to hunt down these phases. thus justifying my earlier theory. My point is the fire may have destroyed some data but we all know that they used the remaining data as the basis of the game. Sort of like putting a homeless burnt guy into a fancy suit. But the game may also be rejecting the changes . hmm... this requires some more thought. I'll get back to you when i finish thinking on this.

I don't like your homeless guy analogy but you might be on to something with your theory there. At least i've not heard it before. You should take this one to the theories thread at the top of the page.

Well, we now know that Haseo can turn into Skeith, this could support the fact of Tri-Edge not being evil. Lets say that Haseo uses the Skeith Transformation before the fight in the church we saw in the trailer, Tri-Edge could have data drained him to free Haseo of Skieth, however Haseo needs Skieth to fight Anna, this could cancell my thoery but since the games are 80 hours, I would guess, if what I said is true, that Tri-Edge doesn't data drain Haseo til near the end or right at the end of the game.

Actually, Tri-Edge data drains Haseo before the game even begins, and sends him all the way back to level one as a result along with putting him in a Tsukasa-esque coma.

If that is true, then could Tri-Edge appear in ROOTS?

That is HIGHLY likely. I'm pretty sure that part of the story of ROOTS will be about where Shino gets DD by Tri-Edge. If that isn't the end of the story, then somewhere near the end.

I don't think Tri-Edge is good or evil. What if he's just doing the wrong thing for the right reason or the right thing for the wrong reason. We don't know what his intentions of doing this can result in.

Tri-Edge has to be either good or evil, if he isn't on either side then what is it's purpose for being GU? However your right about one thing, we don't know it's intentions yet, but that doesn't mean he is on a side.

Says who? Who says that there are any sides at all? And if there are, how are they being defined? By their actions? Their appearances? The fact that there's an AI on one "side" and a human coma "victim" on the other? What?

Since when were there definite sides in .hack, anyway? Even Morganna wasn't "evil." Even hackers aren't "evil." When was .hack about the old-fashioned "good vs. evil" conflict? And why isn't there such thing as a gray area?

Well if there isn't any sides, then who are we fighting? If they are not our enemy then why would we want to kill them? Why would this unknown enemy cause all of these events that happen in GU? Why is Tri-Edge data drain players? Are you meaning to tell me that with all this happening there isn't any good or evil involved, its caused by both good and bad reasons?

Good question. Who are we fighting, indeed. Who says we want to kill them? It could be reasoned that if you kill, that makes you "evil." Who says that the person who caused the events is unknown, or even an enemy? Perhaps all of the events are for the good of The World. Why is Tri-Edge data-draining players? I've already offered my theories. There are almost an infinite amount of reasons as to why he is, and many of those reasons are him trying to work towards a positive ending. And perhaps I am telling you that. Or, perhaps I'm saying that everyone has a neutral force driving them, and are just acting upon how they feel at the given moment. No good, no evil. Is that so hard to imagine?

I don't Tri-Edge is really evil at all he's just a wandering computer program fulfilling some unknown objective.

1it's name is Tri-edge! not kite, the goody two shoe's hero of the previous game's. Tri-edge the super-evil cool dude from the new serie's!

2i had a theory that shino and atoli had a connection(to be more presice the were the same person) but i think that i found a loophole and a problem with that theory(i can't think of it at the moment)

3chance's are that we won't know why tri-edge is doing what he does better than kite or shugocould combined, until we finish the game, or at least near the end of it.
