Endrance is now enclosed in a piece of ice, for whatever reason.

And Atoli apparently survived, but her data is slowly breaking down.

 What does it mean by 'breaking down', is her data being deleted or is it being altered in some way? (A la Tri-Edge)

 No Endrance!? T_T It appears as if part of the story will revolve around saving him...

 So does this mean they are all in comas or that they simply can't shut down their terminal? I think an international panic would be the result of 12 million coma victims.

But, as a theory, Tri-Edge was the rest of Cubia or the twilight bracelet. But what about Balmung and Orca...? I haven't see the end of .hack//Quarantine so I don't know if Orca relive but Balmung... He's just a strong player, that's all.

The three of them were .hackers and were given 'Azure' titles, so there is that connection...

I strongly disagree with the Tri-Edge=Cubia theory, they are some new force in my opinion. The fact that the three 'Azure' players are all apparent AIDA leads me to believe that they aren't just some spontaneous anti-thesis.

i think balmung like that because at the back of the manga of .hack//legend of the twighlit it shows tri-edge fighting blamung and balmung gets data drained

Not exactly a real spoiler... ¬_¬

I'm dreading the renewed interest in the manga, even if it does show us Balmung and Orca being Data-Drained by Kite (Tri-Edge?), there's no new info in there...

Unless you wish to believe that all those Data-Drained by Tri-Edge end up like him (Haseo would have been protected by Skeith's data) and Shino will appear in this state in Vol. 3.

A question if I may; Where exactly can I find these sillouhettes of Orca and Balmung that everyone has seen? I've download and watched almost all the trailers that the site has and I haven't seen anything.

My thanks for the link, thread starter. Sorry if I didn't catch your name.

Look at the scans. You'll see the "box art" and behind Haseo and the others jerkies, there's Orca and Balmung.

i have to look at it again. i only saw Orca.

edit: wait a minute. i just now noticed that whom i thought to be tri-edge is actually Balmung! okay nevermind i found him.. ^>

look at balmungs wings their cool

i would like to thank Galaf for fnding these

I saw that already. I mean everybody saw the sillouhettes in one of the trailers, and I'm asking what trailer it was and where exactly in the trailer it is.

THE SCYTHE! I knew it was going to be in the 2nd volume.

Vol.2 Preview.

I only beat vol 1 on Sunday, so this news is perfect timing for me. I was wondering when info about vol 2 would start.

I don't. I'm on safari in South Africa the middle 2 weeks of September. So the end of September is perfect timing for me.

i dont even have vol 1 and the second is gonna come out soon too.
its times like these i wish america got stuff sooner

Thanks to The Rebirth and Kuukai for the link.

This certainly is a interesting development. Whatever is in The World now is using the character data of the three most powerful players to further it's means. But why Balmung and Orca? Kite would be enough considering he has Data Drain, but those two. . .

my guess is that they were legends and they also had a lot of power at there disposal.
and im guessing that the azure thing in ther name has some kind of meaning now

Np. ^^

Well, I'm pretty sure there's no less than three forces at work here, and quite possibly more...

The rebirth << Thanks
