Disclaimer: Anything I say has spoilers. Everything I say is humerous and not meant to offend anyone. Everyone who says I say RahXephon is an Eva Clone is Deaf since I've already stated fifty times that Rah isn't a clone.
1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
Answered:
The reason Ayato and Itsuski do not look alike is NOT because they are twins... Because all clones are in definition Identical twins...
The REASON is because Ayato is "special"... Ayato is the "chosen" by ishitori that will become "one" with RahXephon.
If Ayato was identical to Itsuski then Itsuski should have been able to Tune RahXephon as well...
Instead Ishitori chose Ayato because he was different... A genetic mistake/mutation while cloning...
So Ayato is like Quon who has no Identical clone. He is the chosen performer to tune RahXephon~!
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
8. What's the complete Family tree? I went back and I don't see where Watari said he was Ayato's father... Why do you think Watari is his father? This is what I have so far.
Ayato and Haruka are cousins.
Watari is Ayato's dad? I still don't know why this is...
Haruka's uncle is Ayato's Grandfather.
Quon is Maya's sister.

:liplick:
1. How? She did do some minimal attempts and if they had tried to pysically restrain him it would have only turned him totaly against the MU
2. They dont just send Dolems out to get Ayato back... THey were doing it before the Rahxephon even awoke.. Ast to why... Who knows..
3. So that he can leave his old shell behind and walk amongst the time of tuning and see with eyes unclouded... At least that the empression i get.
4. Because they are clones... Duh
5. Bingo. though there are times where others take control of Dolems... in the later eps humans use them...
6. The way the Anime is set out it draws some of its insperation from tWoO... Though i cant really remember that line in the Jap version... I must rewatch the series
7. No shes not. she (As a Mu) is linked to the black egg... and like some Mu with out a Dolem she is weakenned by simply existing... My take on this is that the Vest acts as a sort of field gernerator for her... theres not alot on this part in the anime but as the Black Egg starts to awaken she no longer really needs the vest...
8. This gets really screwed up because of the tuning...
I'll have to rewach the series again before i can answer this one...
[edit] Right... Ive started rewatching... Up to ep 7 and ive remembered this about question number 8. They are't cousins, Harukas grandfather? father? knew Ayato's Father because they both were working on the small temple found on the island... THats where the relation comes from...
In tha manga it has Ayato being Mishima's cousins but thats as close as it comes really....

1. How? She did do some minimal attempts and if they had tried to pysically restrain him it would have only turned him totaly against the MU
If she didn't let him out of the world... He would have not known there was a MU... So how can he turn against them? And she deliberately let Ayato go... She had far more firepower every time.
Besides Ayato's actions are a bit crazy with his turning against His "MU" family and friends so quickly... For Example... If an Alien abducted you and told you that your mom and Friends were the "MU" would you start helping the aliens kill your family and friends?
2. They dont just send Dolems out to get Ayato back... THey were doing it before the Rahxephon even awoke.. Ast to why... Who knows..
Exactly... The dolems have no goal... They attack with no purpose... And they are quite pointless... for me right now... Does anyone know why they do what they do?
3. So that he can leave his old shell behind and walk amongst the time of tuning and see with eyes unclouded... At least that the empression i get.
He's lived for thousands of years... Yet he raises Helena's so that he could at this final moment turn into a Blond? Right before he dies?
I mean I've seen guys fantasize about being a blond... But isn't this going a bit far?... :p
4. Because they are clones... Duh
Itsuki and Ayato aren't the same... Yet they are clones... That's my question.
5. Bingo. though there are times where others take control of Dolems... in the later eps humans use them...
Humans never control any dolems... They have Armored suits... Not dolems.
6. The way the Anime is set out it draws some of its insperation from tWoO... Though i cant really remember that line in the Jap version... I must rewatch the series
Right... what's the inspiration?
7. No shes not. she (As a Mu) is linked to the black egg... and like some Mu with out a Dolem she is weakenned by simply existing... My take on this is that the Vest acts as a sort of field gernerator for her... theres not alot on this part in the anime but as the Black Egg starts to awaken she no longer really needs the vest...
Quon is a performer and not limited to regular mulian... She is like Ayato. Ayato doesn't need a garter.
8. This gets really screwed up because of the tuning...
I'll have to rewach the series again before i can answer this one...
Well hurry up.... HAYAKU...HAYAKU.... I don't care if I spelled that wrong...... :lol:
[edit] Right... Ive started rewatching... Up to ep 7 and ive remembered this about question number 8. They are't cousins, Harukas grandfather? father? knew Ayato's Father because they both were working on the small temple found on the island... THats where the relation comes from...

Right... Haruka and Mishima is the same... So... Haruka and Ayato are cousins... :p
I need the translated Manga...

Well Ayato does... so you cant reall argu agains that fact... What would you do if people claiming to be from the govenment (And they were form the govenment) pulled a gun on you? Then you were rescued by someone after finding out about the blue blooded agents?
If he had not found out about the agents blood, If haruka had not managed to talk to him then i think that he would have been easly swayed over to the Muian cause, Oh yerh, Theres also the fact that they blasted Mishima lets not forget that.
2. They dont just send Dolems out to get Ayato back... THey were doing it before the Rahxephon even awoke.. Ast to why... Who knows..
Exactly... The dolems have no goal... They attack with no purpose... And they are quite pointless... for me right now... Does anyone know why they do what they do?
Well... Why does anyone attack? There are several reasons.
Really i guess they attack just to terrorise the population of the world... To show just how stron they are... Stuff like that
3. So that he can leave his old shell behind and walk amongst the time of tuning and see with eyes unclouded... At least that the empression i get.
He's lived for thousands of years... Yet he raises Helena's so that he could at this final moment turn into a Blond? Right before he dies?
I mean I've seen guys fantasize about being a blond... But isn't this going a bit far?... :p
Well... I dont think it was for the hair... Maybe hes a closet cross dresser? And its a re-tuning not death... And He did construct the Xephon system... Would you not want to see your masterpiece through young eyes?
4. Because they are clones... Duh
Itsuki and Ayato aren't the same... Yet they are clones... That's my question.
Diffrent ages... And clones dont need the same personalitys... And just another note i dont know if they are cloes per-se, They were both posible Orins, Though one was born/something to early for it to work...
5. Bingo. though there are times where others take control of Dolems... in the later eps humans use them...
Humans never control any dolems... They have Armored suits... Not dolems.
No they take over dolems. They pilot them same way as a Mu does. They are Dolems.
6. The way the Anime is set out it draws some of its insperation from tWoO... Though i cant really remember that line in the Jap version... I must rewatch the series
Right... what's the inspiration?
Did you know that the wizard of oz is a stab at Communism?
The insperation comes from that component alon with the Tin Man needing a soul was it?, The lion needing a heart Or was that the scare crow? Arh whatever... They even put a yellow brick road in for you. They are there. All you need to do is look for them.. THough the red shoes are probably the most odvious
7. No shes not. she (As a Mu) is linked to the black egg... and like some Mu with out a Dolem she is weakenned by simply existing... My take on this is that the Vest acts as a sort of field gernerator for her... theres not alot on this part in the anime but as the Black Egg starts to awaken she no longer really needs the vest...
Quon is a performer and not limited to regular mulian... She is like Ayato. Ayato doesn't need a garter.
:heh: Actually i discover this last night... Your right she does not need it... Theres a exchange bettween Quoin & her brother about how a doctor sez shes in perfect Physical form, yet she has to come in to Terra HQ for a checkup each day... The vest is probaby just a monitoring device...
Well hurry up.... HAYAKU...HAYAKU.... I don't care if I spelled that wrong......
Right... Haruka and Mishima is the same... So... Haruka and Ayato are cousins... :p
I need the translated Manga...
Haruka and Mishima are NOT the same...
Mishima uses Harukas likeness though, She part of the Rahxephon system... Thats alittle hard to explain but i will try.
Please not this is for the anime.. The manga appears to handle this diffrently but i've only read the first 3 chapters so far...
And you must remember that when the world is tuned all this goes to hell anyway... The tuning 'removes' all this stuff and everyone has a nice normal life...
Mishima Reka is part of the Xephon system she is the Istori (I know i spelt that wrong...) , How do we know this? Because of her actions and where she shows up, Also the way that every one except Ayato (Who is also part of theis system as Orin). When Ayato returns to Tokyo Jupiter no one in the class even remembers her existance till she shows up infrount of them, The suddenly they remember...
Ishtori is both the catalist and the core for the whole Xephon system.... Um....
She triggers the whole process by awakening the 'players' (Quion & Ayato) and the whole tunning revolves around the battle bettween the 2 players... Using Ishtori as a power source for the process, Before tuning can happen both Orins need to accept Ishtori for her true form or something... Not to sure on that last part... I have a few projects to do or i'd go do some research...
Darmit how to phrase stuff...
She also represents other stuff to but i cant say im very farmiller with the legends that these are based off...
Haruka leaves Tokyo Jupiter before the Mu uprising/Attack whatever you want to call it, For some reason he loses his memory of Haruka exceept the image on the cliff (Proabably because Mishima takes over the likness.. Memory modifercation?)
The easyest way to explain this is that Mishima is a Spirit takeing Harukas form i guess...
Well... Thats proabably my second longest post this year...

Haruka's uncle is Ayato's Grandfather.
Quon is Maya's sister.
Episode 16, when they meet. He doesn't go out and say it literally, but its obvious who he's talking about. Goes right over Ayato's head :p

Humans were sent suits... The suits were called the Vermillion... They have to be inside and physically push levers and pull the trigger... :p
Dolems are mind controlled... You are one with the dolem... Damage to the dolem also damages you the same way it damages the pilots of the Evangelions. There are neural connections since you are mind controlling them.
If Elvy was controlling a Dolem she would have felt the pain from losing her leg and arm in the fight with Allegretto...
Please tell me the similarities with the Wizard of OZ... I am one of the few people who hasn't seen the Wizard of OZ in it's full entirity... I started watching and always fall asleep before the end... :lol:
Mishima is Haruka...
In the flashback at the very end... Ayato asks her name...
She says... Mishima Haruka...
She later changes it Mishima to Shitow...
Japanese like to say their last names first... :p
Besides your theories of Ishitori is incorrect. Ishitori takes the form of what ever the person sees Ishitori as.
Quon's Ishitori actually states that very clearly... Remember? Ayato shows up to Quon, but it's not ayato at all? And Ishitori in Ayato's form tells Quon that they have to become one?
In my opinion... Itsuski Actually wants to see ishitori as Quon... yet he can't since he's not the "one"
I want to believe there is more to Barbem's designs for Helena...
If he wanted young eyes, he could just of cloned himself... That's the most logical...
Theres also the fact that they blasted Mishima lets not forget that.
-death-
Basically Ayato has to kill his family and friends since the Mulians killed his girlfriend.... :p
~_~
:liplick:
p.s. Sheex... It's going over my head as well... You mean the part where he said... I used to have a son who paints? Is that all the evidence there is? I mean Watari could have easily made that up just to make Ayato feel better... Grown ups tell white lies to children all the time.
Any more evidence like what Watari used to be?
So Watari used to be an archaelogist??
How is Watari related to Haruka's uncle? Thanx
Oh yah one more question to Sheex or Westlo...
Sheex says on his site that Helena switched bodies with Barbem...
In my copy it says that Helena gave her body to Barbem... And there really isn't any real evidence that Barbem's old body has helena inside...
Barbem's old body never actually moves after Helena gives herself to him... And there is also a sudden need for a clone to push Barbem's old body around when Barbem never had a clone to push him around before...
Im not talking about the Vermillion...
Some of the humans from within TJ were given Dolems... Late eps some of the SDF officerss were piloting them...
And Ayato does not at first know that its his friends that he's killing...
He beleaves he is protecting them... Well at least till he takes out the Dolim that Asahina was driving.
As for his mother... Well... His feeling toward her still exist yet are weakened as he spends time outside TJ because of the
people he meets... THere is alot of ambiguous stuff in this series... The reason that Ayato fights is one of them...
Wizard of Oz refrences... You want me to list them?...
Go hire the movie you slack person.. Or better yet read the book
As for the Ishtori stuff... Well ok... Thats why im rewatching the series... Its been a while since i saw those later eps so i have to go over it all again...
But what your saying about the appearance of Ishtori sound fine...
Ishtori is still only borrowing Haruka's form. I still beleave that hes memories have been altered (Though it sounds more likly that it was the MU that did it rather then the Xephon system now..)
Dosent Ishtori also appears before Quon as Mishima at stages... Not only as Ayato? Or is that my faulty memory coming into play again?
Watari is related through the fact that they are both working on the same sort of research... that the lot. No farmily relations only work

Some of the humans from within TJ were given Dolems... Late eps some of the SDF officerss were piloting them..
The pilot of Allegretto was a Mulian... Even Ayato was a mulian. Rah Xephon is Ayato's dolem. Quon's Dolem is the black winged Xephon. The lead officers of the Mulians.... ARE NOT HUMAN... Why do you say that the Mulians would put Humans as top ranking officers?
And Ayato does not at first know that its his friends that he's killing...
He beleaves he is protecting them... Well at least till he takes out the Dolim that Asahina was driving.
As for his mother... Well... His feeling toward her still exist yet are weakened as he spends time outside TJ because of the
people he meets... THere is alot of ambiguous stuff in this series... The reason that Ayato fights is one of them...
I found his motivations only explanable as his drive to find his girlfriend... Because any other reason is just lame...
Wizard of Oz refrences... You want me to list them?...
Go hire the movie you slack person.. Or better yet read the book
Lol... ok but Like I said... It's boooooring~!
And I got it... Ayato is Dorothy... :lol: Itsuski is Toto... Barbem is the Wicked witch of the... :lol: And blah blah...
the reason I asked you is because you said you saw similarities... And I don't. So telling me to watch it is not helping.
Please just list the similarities :p
Ishitori comes in the form you wish to see her...
Yes Ishitori was Mishima to Quon and she wasn't ready.

1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
She loves him, and want him to find his love.
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
Dolems? To rule the world. To remind the outside that there is no peace while they exist.
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
He knew his old body would get shot. He switched bodies to fool people so he could watch the cadence.
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
They are time seperated. One grew old.
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
I don't think so. They are two identites that need each other to live. No one controls the other.
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
The answer is 42.
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
Enviroment.
8. What's the complete Family tree? I went back and I don't see where Watari said he was Ayato's father... Why do you think Watari is his father? This is what I have so far.
Ayato and Haruka are cousins.
Watari is Ayato's dad? I still don't know why this is...
Haruka's uncle is Ayato's Grandfather.
Quon is Maya's sister.
I honestly don't know, and to a certain extent, don't care.
1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
Well, RahXephon is pretty powerful...
But if Maya stopped him by force, then it's unlikely that he would ever fulfill his destiny and "tune the world". Why would he ever get into RahXephon again?
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
Again, to make him fulfil his destiny. If the Dolems hadn't attacked, TERRA would have separated RahXephon and Ayato, and locked Ayato up somewhere for being a Mulian.
But the Dolems are something that only RahXephon and Ayato can defeat, so their attacks force him to fight, and force TERRA to allow him to pilot RahXephon.
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
Don't know for sure, but it's possible that his body was on its last legs, and he wasn't sure he would live long enough otherwise.
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
It's a necessary deception. If Ayato and Itsuki looked identical, then as soon as we see them together we'd realise that they were clones, which would rather spoil things a bit.
It's a bit like in half of Shakespeare's plays: Somebody can put on a half-assed disguise, and not even their closest loved ones will recognise them, because it's necessary to the plot.
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
Well, we don't really know all that much about Dolems, but remember that whenever we see a Mulian controlling a Dolem, he/she is wearing one of those funny helmet thingies, which Asahina wasn't. My guess is that if you haven't got one of those helmets, then you can't control the Dolem, but are still linked to it.
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
I'd have to think about this some more, and I don't think I can really be bothered... ;)
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
I don't think you mean garter...You're referring to that white vest type thing? Well, it's established early on that she can take it off for short periods of time, but its true function is never revealled, as far as I'm aware.
8. What's the complete Family tree? I went back and I don't see where Watari said he was Ayato's father... Why do you think Watari is his father? This is what I have so far.
Ayato and Haruka are cousins.
Watari is Ayato's dad? I still don't know why this is...
Haruka's uncle is Ayato's Grandfather.
Quon is Maya's sister.
Ummm...I did know, but now I've forgotten. Sorry.;)

Thanks~! Dark Marine... Good thoughts... But let me help you see the reasons behind why these aren't correct... :p
1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
She loves him, and want him to find his love.
Maya doesn't know about his love. Maya Does not know about Mishima... Maya calls her Ishitori each and every time... Even when Maya tries to recall the last number Ayato dialed to find out who he called... It's a out of order number...
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
Dolems? To rule the world. To remind the outside that there is no peace while they exist.
Dolems all attack Ayato... They seek him out and attack him... Each tries to Capture him.... Yet, Maya has the chance to overwhelm Ayato at the beginning and prevent him from leaving.
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
He knew his old body would get shot. He switched bodies to fool people so he could watch the cadence.
If he knew that he would get shot... Then he's a fortune teller... No where does it mention he has psychic powers.
Also He tells Helena... "It's time..." They've planned this for a long time... It wasn't a spur of a moment idea to prevent White Snake from shooting him.
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
They are time seperated. One grew old.
No... Ayato and Itsuki DO NOT LOOK ALIKE at the same age. Rewatch the ending and compare Ayato to Itsuki...
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
I don't think so. They are two identites that need each other to live. No one controls the other.
Someone says that Mulians need the dolems to survive... I'm pretty sure Maya said this.
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
The answer is 42.
Fourty two? What does that mean?
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
Enviroment.
When you enter Tokyo Jupiter only the time changes... Nothing else with the environment changes.
Thanks Mav~! It's great for you to try... Rah Xephon is one great anime... yet Take a look at my reasons... :p
1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
Well, RahXephon is pretty powerful...
But if Maya stopped him by force, then it's unlikely that he would ever fulfill his destiny and "tune the world". Why would he ever get into RahXephon again?
Best answer I've gotten so far... I've been thinking of this one, Yet she sends out Fortisimo on a suicide attempt?... (Tuning Fork Dolem to stop him...) Fortisimo dies pretty easily... And she continues to send out Dolems to die...
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
Again, to make him fulfil his destiny. If the Dolems hadn't attacked, TERRA would have separated RahXephon and Ayato, and locked Ayato up somewhere for being a Mulian.
But the Dolems are something that only RahXephon and Ayato can defeat, so their attacks force him to fight, and force TERRA to allow him to pilot RahXephon.
If Ayato didn't get out... Terra would NEVER get RahXephon... By letting Ayato out... She turns over Both HER SON and RAhXEphon AGAINST herself...
Notice the Episode where Ayato basically pushes her mom to the ground... And Ayato does an end of evangelion like Scene and destroys a beautiful building that he built... I've watched RahXephon very thoroughly...
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
Don't know for sure, but it's possible that his body was on its last legs, and he wasn't sure he would live long enough otherwise.
[color=red] Barbem tells Helena "It's time" They've planned this out for a long time... Barbem can clone himself... There's a plan for helena... Not just a backup clone...
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
It's a necessary deception. If Ayato and Itsuki looked identical, then as soon as we see them together we'd realise that they were clones, which would rather spoil things a bit.
It's a bit like in half of Shakespeare's plays: Somebody can put on a half-assed disguise, and not even their closest loved ones will recognise them, because it's necessary to the plot.
I figured that but I wanted an explanation that I can use if someone asked me... I want answers for everything and I've gotten most of them for Evangelion... I thought Rah should have the same.
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
Well, we don't really know all that much about Dolems, but remember that whenever we see a Mulian controlling a Dolem, he/she is wearing one of those funny helmet thingies, which Asahina wasn't. My guess is that if you haven't got one of those helmets, then you can't control the Dolem, but are still linked to it.
Asahina was wearing one of those helmets... Look at the Ghost-like Asahina that comes to her as she is writing in her diary...
Everyone who has a dolem has the helmet on. The helmet only signifies that they are in direct linked through the brain...
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
I'd have to think about this some more, and I don't think I can really be bothered...
I'm not bothered... I just wanted The Wizard of OZ books Barbem had to signify something... I want Rah Xephon to become a legend like Eva
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
I don't think you mean garter...You're referring to that white vest type thing? Well, it's established early on that she can take it off for short periods of time, but its true function is never revealled, as far as I'm aware.
Garter... :lol: I mean vest...

Thanks~! Dark Marine... Good thoughts... But let me help you see the reasons behind why these aren't correct... :p
1. Why doesn't Maya stop Ayato from leaving? She had chances several times yet she always allows RahXephon to escape.
She loves him, and want him to find his love.
Maya doesn't know about his love. Maya Does not know about Mishima... Maya calls her Ishitori each and every time... Even when Maya tries to recall the last number Ayato dialed to find out who he called... It's a out of order number...
Maya does not need to know about her to want her son to find love.
2. If you explain Maya letting Ayato leave as a way of letting him grow up... Then why do the Mulians send out Dolems to get him back? Each Dolem is sent out and sent back in a coffin... Do the Mulian's like dying?
Dolems? To rule the world. To remind the outside that there is no peace while they exist.
Dolems all attack Ayato... They seek him out and attack him... Each tries to Capture him.... Yet, Maya has the chance to overwhelm Ayato at the beginning and prevent him from leaving.
Um...ok. See above.
3. What is the point of Mr. Barbem raising a helena clone so that he could take her body right before the tuning? I mean what is Helena for?
He knew his old body would get shot. He switched bodies to fool people so he could watch the cadence.
If he knew that he would get shot... Then he's a fortune teller... No where does it mention he has psychic powers.
Also He tells Helena... "It's time..." They've planned this for a long time... It wasn't a spur of a moment idea to prevent White Snake from shooting him.
The guy practically ruled time over. He knows things. No where does it also say he is not a seer.
4. Why are all the clones identical and only Itsuki looks strikingly different from Ayato? ( ex. All helena's and the D child are identical.)
They are time seperated. One grew old.
No... Ayato and Itsuki DO NOT LOOK ALIKE at the same age. Rewatch the ending and compare Ayato to Itsuki...
Wait, how do you know they are the same age?
5. Asahina loves ayato yet she can't stop trying to drive RahXephon to the ground?
I don't believe she was controlled by the dolem. I know they need a dolem to live, but every other instance the Mulian is always in control of their Dolem. (ex. Mamorou, Maya, Jin's commander, Mulian counterpart of Allegretto.)
I don't think so. They are two identites that need each other to live. No one controls the other.
Someone says that Mulians need the dolems to survive... I'm pretty sure Maya said this.
Yep.
6. What does Wizard of Oz have to do with anything?....
Oh great Ayato must be dorothy.... Hurry up and stop dreaming~!
The answer is 42.
Fourty two? What does that mean?
I don't give a dingo's kidney about Oz.
7. Quon's garter... She wears it for medical purposes... But she's perfectly healthy while completely naked later in the show...????
Enviroment.
When you enter Tokyo Jupiter only the time changes... Nothing else with the environment changes.
But remember, she was also in that wired place.

Look at haruka... She's the same age... Also if you observe the people around you... Once they get 25+ their faces don't change very much.
Maya does not need to know about her to want her son to find love. -Dark Marine-
So does every other mother on the planet... Yet they don't send their sons out in gigantic robots to find love in the enemies lands... If she did not know about mishima/Haruka who was in Terra... There is no reason to send her son to the enemy.

You are making up stuff... It's not a fact... No where does RahXephon talk about fortunetellers... I'm looking for something that's backed by the series...
Thank you~! I really appreciate you trying... I'm just hard to satisfy... Thank you for letting me know what you thought the answers were~!

Damn. I'm being shot down like flies.

Wait wait wait. I thought they were brothers, not twins.

1) People don't have robots.
2) Mothers do send their kids out onto the "battlefield" of life to find their love.

True dat. I pulled something out of my ass on that one.

Lol... People always tell me that that comes natural to me... :p
That's not my goal though... :cool:
I just want to find answers...Your replies help me find answers... And Looks Like I found some...
The reason Ayato and Itsuski do not look alike is NOT because they are twins... Because all clones are in definition Identical twins...
The REASON is because Ayato is "special"... Ayato is the "chosen" by ishitori that will become "one" with RahXephon.
If Ayato was identical to Itsuski then Itsuski should have been able to Tune RahXephon as well...
Instead Ishitori chose Ayato because he was different... A genetic mistake/mutation while cloning...
So Ayato is like Quon who has no Identical clone. He is the chosen performer to tune RahXephon~!
Please continue to tell me what you think is right for the other unanswered Questions...

Fourty two? What does that mean?
You havent read Hitchhikers?!?!?!?
Gah!
Just as Eva has its unsolved misterys Rahxephon has its own...
All that you can do is look at the basis of the story
IN Rahxephons case these are
The MU legends
Wizard of Oz... (After a while i keep notesing more and more refrences to this... Scarey)
And theres another thing that i cant quite place... I'll think of it one day im sure...
If you want your questions answered it would be best if you did a little research...
Really...

What do you think this post is?
it's research...
Gathering information from others is a way to get a broader view of things... My eyes are always open for new interpretations... If you can't answer the questions, fine. But don't tell me that I'm not researching.
And no I haven't read your hitchhikers guide...
I don't Worship Star Wars...
And I don't think Highlander is god...
All of those stereotypical things that you believe I should know?

I'm in the process of rewatching RahXephon atm (seen the first 7 eps and I'm enjoying it just as much as before if not more) and I'll have a go at answering your questions when I've completed Rah again.

That's great Westlo~!
Could someone also tell me where Sheex got his list of Dolem names?
and which one of Mamoru's dolem is named Obligato?
~_~
:liplick:
The RahXephon Bible but that only covered the first 16 episodes, as for the rest I'm sure Sheex can tell you.

Hmm... I bet the bible is in japanese huh?
Because Sheex Mispelled Allegreto...
He spells the dolem Allegrato... :p
I hope sheex gets over the fact that I don't say Rah is a clone and we can work together on Rah...
Anywhere else I could check because Pibaacha... sounds more like a pokemon than a music term... I am kinda rusty with my music though... :p

3 of the Dolem names (Allegreto, Fortissimo and Falsetto) were provided in the series. One (Obligato, which is the humanoid one) was submitted to me by another RahXephon fan through email. All the others were translated from the RahXephon Bible, which has all the Dolems up to episode 19 (even though the bible itself only covers the first 14 episodes or so). Yes, Pibaacha is a weird one, that and Orutaneto were the only ones I couldn't find corresponding musical terms for.

Okay I've seen the first 5 episodes a total of 3 times now with the last two times coming within the last month so I'll have a go at answering the first two questions.

What do you mean by not trying to stop Ayato from leaving? She summoned two dolems to Rah's room. Maya wasn't going to have a dolem tea party, they were there to stop RahXephon from leaving.
Do you think it was coincidence that the RahXephon's eye focused on Maya after she was hit across the face by the shattered rock exposing her blue blood? Seeing this obviously freaked Ayato out which would be understandable if anyone saw a human being let alone their "mother" with blue blood.
Reika Mishima aka Ishitori aka Goddess of the Mulian/Soul Of RahXephon obviously focused the gaze of the RahXephon on Maya which made Ayato freak out and leave Rah's Room with the Xephon, Haruka and Ishitori.
Now you say Maya did not try to stop him, well is sending the dolem Fortissimo not trying to stop him according to you? Then RahXephon crushed the Fortissimo in battle and immediately left Tokyo Jupiter afterwards. There was no time to send out more/stronger dolems to battle it into submission, to prevent him from escaping.
You do remember Haruka saying how it takes lots of resources and energy to brake through the Tokyo Jupiter barrier, well the same would apply to the Mulians which would explain why they can only send out one dolem at a time. So their was no way they could just send a dolem out straight away and recapture Ayato and Xephon.
