Though still, Tabby has to be important. She's shown with Shino in the puddles, and she's the only one who's running towards the center of the screen besides Haseo and Shino.

Well Kuukai like I pointed out and AuraTwilight did after your post she must play some kinda role. Perhaps she is the one who tells him about Tri-Edge DDing Shino? All we can do is wait and see I guess.

If Haseo saw Shino being DD'd, then he's of attacked Tri-Edge right then and there. It seems implied that the fight at the Cathedral where Haseo is Data Drained is his first encounter with him.

As for Tabby, I think Tabby is going to be attacked by Tri-Edge, but maybe get away alright, since someone has to tell the rumors about Tri-Edge.

OH! What if Tri-Edge originally attacked Tabby, and Shino took the bullet for her? hehehehe. Yes, such a great scenario. Shino's exactly the type of person to put her guild members in priority above her own safety.

.Scythe I think he heard Shino was DDed by Tri-Edge from someone since the trailer indicates that is when he first sees him. Perhaps AuraTwilight is right about Shino taking one for Tabby who escapes and tells Haseo.

In the Trailer with the fight of Tri-Edge VS Haseo, Ovan was explaining the situation about shino. Could be Ovan who told Haseo since in the manga Haseo didnt' know what happen to Shino and asked him.

-sigh- That guy didn't even have a real clue as to what really happened to her. Haseo's only caught onto the idea that players don't return after being defeated by Tri-edge. ...Hold on.

I've just been confuddled. Yes, confuddled. XD

How was it that Haseo takes it upon himself to trust that rumor, then be surprised at the piece of information that Yata offered him? Say what???

No, it's implied that Ovan disappeared like right before that happened...

Because it's just a rumor. The only time that rumor had ever intersected with reality for him was with Shino. He had never heard of any actual other cases of unreturners, just an "urban legend" about a special PK who could do that sort of thing...

It looks as if the rumours regarding Naobi and Ender's transformation into Yata and Pai were true...

It does seem quite unusual, think of how Haseo would react if he knew they were the one's that practically broke up the Twilight Brigade. I'd also like to know why Ender went through such an apparently drastic change in personality.

I agree Umbra.

I'm wondering myself as to the sudden "change of personality" with Ender to Pai.If it's really true,but it is starting to look that way,we can't deny it.

I'm going to take a guess and maybe.. ..she wants to fit in character with her new avatar,maybe? It is possible that Ender's role was to be how she was before,but with this new character,she wants to act differently this time,as to fit the appearance and not be recognized as her old self.

Overall,it's nothing but a game of fun by acting out someone you are not.

The characters in .hack//Roots are meant to have been pulled from that safe haven of a game, I don't think its as simple as 'Pai is a different character so I should Rp her differently'.

Certain scenes in the GU games don't look like the kind of thing anyone in such a serious situation would roleplay. For example, she sacrifices herself to stop Keyaki from being infected by an AIDA.

The story behind Pai, as we know it, suggests that she may be desperate enough to do anything in the name of revenge. However, I'm sure there will be some incident that will give Ender/Pai a new perspective on things.

Still, it was a shock for me when I saw a pair of PC's at 12 that both looked painstakingly familiar...facial expression: O_O

So the debate on Shino's clothing color has finally been concluded:

 She changed her appearance personally, much to Haseo's surprise.
