![]() ![]() I guess being a mermaid is just too on-brand for Sayaka-chan. ![]() Instead of falling into despair to become the Mermaid Witch, in this new world, Sayaka is the Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean. In fact, it was Sayaka who seemed to be the "main character" of this story.įrom what I can gather, the concept of Magical Girls doesn't appear to exist in this world. In this new world I stumbled across, its version of me didn't have anywhere near the karmic destiny I had amassed thanks to Homura. I looked away for only a moment, and I found another mysterious record. She almost reminds me of myself, in a cosmic sort of way…Īnyway, as I was watching over her and her friends, things got really tough, and there was nothing I could do to help without endangering them further. Even though he could very easily have focused on Sara's responsibility for killing his parents in the storm in the end of the first arc, he doesn't even mention it, more focused on that creep who's been leering at his girlfriend kidnapping him, holding him hostage, and insisting he's his brother.Iroha sure has come a long way since I first discovered this strange world of hers. Rescue Romance: He fell in love with Lucia in her mermaid form after she saved him from drowning when he was a child.The One Guy: He takes this position as a Guest-Star Party Member in both arc finales.My Significance Sense Is Tingling: When Luchia is in danger.Loves My Alter Ego: At first he loves Lucia the mermaid, but not Lucia the human, as he thought they were two different people.Intimate Healing: In the manga, he gets his memory back from Lucia's kiss.First-Name Basis: With Lucia from the start.Facial Markings: Again, the mark in his forehead, although it should be noted that it only appears when needed.The "easy" part was, in fact, deliberate he suppressed his memories of her to prevent Michel from learning about her. Easy Amnesia: In Pure, he loses all of his memories of Lucia (including their very first meeting).Doorstop Baby: His parents found him washed up with the tide.Distressed Dude: The end of the first arc and a few times in the second.Childhood Friends: Kaito originally met Lucia the Mermaid when he was six years old.Changeling Fantasy: Learns late in the first arc that he's adopted and he washed up on the beach mysteriously.Amnesia Danger: In most of the Pure arc.The Easy Amnesia part also drops out of the narrative much earlier than it does in the anime, making Kaito and Lucia's relationship concerns more about the latter's frustration at still being Locked Out of the Loop in regards to his problems. Lucia herself is aware of this it's just that it doesn't stop her from feeling lonely about it anyway. Likewise, the anime plays the issue of Kaito and Michal as more of a Love Triangle than the manga does, where it's much clearer that Kaito doesn't have any romantic interest in Michal whatsoever but is staying with her out of compassion and a sense of duty, whereas he's still interested in Lucia despite having lost his memories of her.About halfway into the first arc, Kaito decides to stop beating around the bush and properly commit to Lucia because she's the one who's regularly in his life him learning that she and the mermaid are the same person mostly serves to give Kaito closure about the issue and allow Lucia to be more open with him. ![]() Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The original manga's version of Kaito and Lucia's relationship is less about the Loves My Alter Ego situation it's played as in the anime (in fact, in the manga, Kaito has suspicions Lucia might be the mermaid from the very beginning) and more about the fact Kaito's inability to commit to Lucia as long as he's hung up about the mermaid, while Lucia won't open up to him fully about her problems due to The Masquerade. ![]()
