MrProphet

According to the scans from the special issue, he is from the Kagiroi clan. There is not Hotaru among the "F". Unfortunately, I can't make out the kanji for his first name. http://groups.msn.com/OtakuShadowsReturn/tenjotenge.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=6178 I can try to scan that page again, mayb...

MrProphet

Are you sure? As far as I can tell from from Volume 9 Pages 12-13 (where all the older family members are introduced for Souichirou's training) Hotaru is clearly the older woman with the black hair (check http://tjtg.mangatranslation.com/characters/tjtg_characters.html - I have her labelled Hotaru)...

MrProphet

i seem to have forgotten who is the one that possess the dragon palm?? Hotaru. A healing power. He is not Hotaru, actually. According to the scans from the special issue, he is from the Kagiroi clan. There is not Hotaru among the "F". Unfortunately, I can't make out the kanji for his first name. ht...

MrProphet

Unfortunately, it is impossible to prove or disprove it. We have never seen anyone, who is not a Red Feather using the Forged Needle.

Hopefully, we will see more of Tawara in chapters 74+. Maybe he can produce something as supernatural.

MrProphet

Yes, the abilities of the red feathers are gained from opening the Dragon Gates--but each clan is very specific to the type of dragon they use so far. The Dragon Fist of the Nagi Clan is specific to them--the Nagi Clan's Dragon Fist as the manga goes--which is why since ancient times they have alwa...

MrProphet

Actually no. You can take a look at that Nagi vs. Sagara fight and take a look at how Maya explains the nuances behind it. Furthermore, the powers of the red feathers are specific to each clan and are very much passed on from generation to generation. If the forged needle in itself is a red feather...

MrProphet

The forged needle is not magic. It's a technique of the Takayanagi's own brand of martial arts. In fact, Nagi is able to pull it off because it's the first move that he was able to learn from the reverse striking training that he received from Maya. That's only because Nagi himself is a Red Feather...

MrProphet

No, no, no. Takayanagi has always been the head family. They are the head of the Phoenix. As for magic, well, tell me Forged Needle is not magic! As for Natsumes, well, they are a Red family, i.e. they use ki for magic, but the latest generation of Natsume's have been very bad with it. They have eit...

MrProphet

The image where Fu slices through the car: well, you can clearly see Masataka jumping off of it, so no mystery there. As for how he broke the blades, I guess that's one of the secret techniques on the chip Dougen smuggled from Takayanagi HQ, and Kurei later found. There's a lot more about the chip l...

MrProphet

Masataka is Takayanagi, which makes him both a red and a white, and at the same time - neither. But I assume that he can channel spirit (ki, whatever) into both magic (like the Reds) and martial arts/weapons (like the Whites).

MrProphet

Technichally, Maya is a Red Feather. She just cannot open her family's Dragon's Gate. But she can channel spirit.

MrProphet

I've got the one from l33t-raws. Pretty good episode.

MrProphet

Actually, they can do a past arc with no problem. Here's the deal. Episodes 1-3 = Volume 1. Episodes 26 = Volume 8+ Thus, they'll be able to do the Present Arc, then the Past arc, then, again, the Present Arc. Personally, I think that they can stop right at the beginning of the F Arc, which begins i...

MrProphet

Actually, no. I don't know why Oh!great has put "Gurei" now, but before he has clearly spelled his name as "Kurei". Here, take a look - http://tjtg.mangatranslation.com/images/tenjyoutenge09/tjtg09_143.jpg He says his name in the middle portion. If you can read kana, you can see he says "Kurei Shini...

MrProphet

Well, both Isuzu and Bob are out of the picture for the time being. Maybe they'll be back for the Tournament, but they won't be in a good shape for any of it. Actually, I am wondering if Oh!great is priming Bob to pull a "Bunshichi" at the Tournament. Remember how Tawara was cut up by Shin and what ...

MrProphet

One question: Why didn't Kago fall like the rest of the clans? Well, it's been only two years since Mitsuomi has overthrown Dougen and the clans are numerous (not to mention individual families, like the Enmi). Another possibility was that Kago swore fealty to Matsuomi (even though he seems to be s...

MrProphet

Actually, Makiko can do it just fine. In one of the following chapters Yorihira comments on how "eating" other dragons is a property of the Dragon Fist. Since the latter is a gate of the Nagi family, it would be logical that Makiko has at least a potential to open the Dragon's Gate and using this po...

MrProphet

I somehow doubt that Mitsuomi will fight for Kago. First of all, Mitsuomi fights for himself and his presidency. He needs fighters since the Enforcers are for the most part beaten. And here comes Kago with the F. Hmm, isn't that convenient. Somehow I have feeling that we'll see a Kago vs. Mitsuomi. ...

MrProphet

Souhaku is actually Kago Souhaku from the Kago clan, one of the heads of the Red Feather families. It is not absolutely certain, what his power is, but he can do necromancy. His weapon is a HUGE machete, although I am not sure if he uses it all the time, or if he is a fistfigher like the Takayanagi ...

MrProphet

Well, here you go. Just as I've though. Thanks.

By any chance you know others' birthdays as well. Nagi, Mitsuomi, Emi, Masataka?

MrProphet

That scene simply showed that people working for Tsumuji Junior were sick freaks, just like Tsumuji himself. I didn't get any kicks out of it, and I doubt anyone did. So no fanservice there. As for the rest, well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I just described mine and supported it with...

MrProphet

Takayanagi are the head of the Phoenix, so I guess they are neigher. Although Mitsuomi seems to be gravitating toward the Whites a bit, using his spirit technique for fighting, more than for magic. But I guess this varies with the person (Nagi's a Red, while Souichiro fights, and the same can be sai...

MrProphet

OK, here's the thing. Japanese school starts in April. This is when Bob and Nagi come to Todou Gakuen. Fast forward 2 months till Bowling Alley, and some more time since then, we have June, which is now in TenTen universe. Now, we know that we are in the summetime right now (Aya and Nagi commented o...

MrProphet

Anyway, this is getting too detailed. But dammit, I need to chart out Masataka's astrological chart to figure out if he'll end up with Madoka or Aya or Kurei. Oh, and their blood types. Such things are very important. Oh, that's easy. Masataka will go for Madoka, Aya, being a possesive dominatrix t...

MrProphet

The problem is, they don't have birthdays the same day they start school. So, in any given schoolyear, they can be either x years old, or x+1 years old. So, if Maya, or Mits, were born somewhere mid-school year, they could be either 17, or very close to 18, if not over 18. That's the logic. Same for...

MrProphet

so wait, maya's 17, but turning 18? masa's 16 going 17 and nagi, aya, and bob's 15 going 16? damn this age thing is confusing.. :? As far we've established, the most likely possibility is: Bob & Nagi - 16 Maya - 17, going on 18. Aya - 15 OR 16 (probably 15, since she's such a goody-two-shoes) Masat...

MrProphet

Is it customary for students to start high school at 15? As for Tawara, his motive to stay beyond his 3rd year probably came from his desire to be by Mitsuomi's side and keep him cool. What would be the reason for him to flunk out one year before that? Any speculation? Unless it was simply bad grade...

MrProphet

Tha could mean that Maya was born in the Summer, or Fall, while Nagi and Bob were born early in the year.

That would make Nagi 16 (ichinensei), while Maya would still be 17 (sannensei). Her 18th birthday just hasn't come yet this year.

Could be one explanation.

MrProphet

Alright. I've heard and seen a lot of opinions on this matter. @How old is everybody?" And since there are a couple of misconceptions (in my opinion) about the subject, I though we could summarize the things we know in this topic. Please, feel free to point out, if this was already discussed. The ch...

MrProphet

BTW, fanservice is NOT just panty shots. Fanservice, by definition, is anything that is not related to the style or substance of the show/manga, but is put into the show/manga to stimulate and excite fans. Service to the fans = fanservice. This could be anything ranging from shower scenes to cameos ...

MrProphet

There are several Maya's and a couple of Aya's.

Natsume Maya (of the Natsume Maya Goushin Ryu fame) once showed a photo of her collection. Must have been 4-5 figures, or somthing.

MrProphet

shouki wrote:v11, p124, top left-hand frame. (page 126 too)

Look at what's on the tire! (particularly the two "antenna")

I almost died laughing.

Yeah, i noticed it as well. It is a reference to an earlier training excercise, where Bob was running with Maya sitting on a tire. Pretty funny insider gag.

MrProphet

Rating for anime DVD releases in does not matter much. Berserk has a 16+ rating and it has some pretty bloody stuff. Except for hentai, noone really pays any attention to it. Sure, Cartoon Network won't show it. But who cares, if it's out on DVD? As for manga, your regular Suncoast, Sam Goody's, or ...

MrProphet

We don't know yet.

We've only seen Ishiyumi unable to generate his bullets at the same time when Nagi used them. So it is possible that Nagi just borrows the ability for some time.

MrProphet

I can seed about 200-250 kbps for some time. I would consider it my own thank you to Fugu, Ki and all the guys who helped bring us TenTen. Seeing Fugu translate (through GMAO) at his breakneck speed... WOW.. that is something.

MrProphet

It's not the video acceleration. It's the overlays that prevent print screen. You need to turn off those.

Usually, any decent player will have an option to turn those off. I use ZoomPlayer myself.

MrProphet

The quality of the art is lower in some segments in my opinion. It's pretty noticeable especially with regard to Chiaki. Moreover, Nagi's mom has not been shown yet. If I'm not mistaken, the part when Masataka wakes up from his nightmare takes place after the scene where Nagi is awakened by his mom...

MrProphet

Then again, we ALL know how raunchy TT was, so obviously, the anime version must be toned down significantly to reach more audiences...(otherwise it'd be a late late night show...) Let me tell you, TenTen is already a late night show. It is broadcasted at 2 a.m. every Thrusday night. Personally, I ...

MrProphet

If people are curious, I did pick up volume 11 a few minutes ago. I actually missed it, and wouldn't have got it all if another guy browsing hadn't heard me complaining to my friend that they didn't have it yet. The guy mentioned that it was over on the table, and what do you know, it was. I had ju...
