BK-201/Hei stat check

[Gemmysaur]

First of all, I'd like to question the canonicity of the manga Darker than Black: Shikkoku no Hana. It apparently comes after Season 1 (a year after Hei's explosive finale) but I have found no clear answer as to whether or not it is part of the original verse. The original character designer of the show is the manga artist for this one though.

Depending on the canonicity, Hei may just get an upgrade... or not. Maybe a src or something to clarify his stats instead of what is written currently.

Speed: Peak Human with Subsonic reactions (Potentially a bullet-timer)

Anyways, feats.

I don't know how to calc so if this manga is truly canon, then I'd like to ask the calc staff to check on it. Thank you.

Hei dodges a kick that creates sonic booms.





Next, Hei bullet-times.





Here's something for my sorries in case this was already discussed or something.

 

[LordAizenSama]

If I recall season 2 is filler and the manga is the proper canon.

 

[Promestein]

I'm bumping this since these definitely seem to be at least Supersonic feats.

 

[Cropfist]

Looks alright.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I didn't think bullet timing would make someone only Subsonic....hmmm.

Aside from that, the Sonic Boom kick dodging feat does seem like Supersonic to me.

 

[Promestein]

In the anime, I'm pretty sure it was all aimdodging.

Anyways, these all seem to be Supersonic feats or better. Some of them might give good results if calced...?

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I was thinking about the same on that too, Prom. Maybe if it was calc'd would be better. But as is, they seem Supersonic to me here. *Nods*

 

[Gemmysaur]

So I guess I should post this in the calc request thread yes?

 

[Gemmysaur]

Bumping this as well.

First we have to figure out which is canon. Darker than Black was originally an anime created by Tensai Okamura. He also wrote the plot for the manga adaption of the first season.

He is also the one that directed the second anime season.

For the manga I am finding varying sources on who created it, either it was Tensai Okamura as well, or it was the character designer Yuji Iwahara.

Either way it would appear the second season is actually canon. I don't recall the second season properly (maybe because I seriously disliked it), but I think there could be continuity issues with assuming that the manga is canon. (and if there aren't we would still need to make sure if it's canon)

Well, the best I can find is Anime News Network's listing and Square Enix's listing.

DARKER THAN BLACK - Jet Black Flowers - Volume 1

Author: Yuji Iwappara

Original: BONES - Tensai Okamura

Release Date: October 24, 2009

Then, with google translate, this is the text body...

TV anime "DARKER THAN BLACK- meteor of twins -" during the broadcast!

After a few weeks from Tokyo explosion .... KiriHara Misaki of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Ministry of Public Security, was perceive the "Black Death" was called subscribers involved in the back of the mysterious murder! - Completely new work that is spun by Yuji Iwappara, the third of the "DARKER THAN BLACK" appeared!

The bolded part seems particularly important to me.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

bump, this seems pretty important

 

[Gemmysaur]

It was left aside because canonicity reasons. I don't know if the ones I posted are of any help.

What say you?

 

[LordAizenSama]

Still no clear answers on this unfortunately

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

regardless hasnt Hei dodged bullets before? i mean this does warrant an upgrade in terms of speed.

 

[LordAizenSama]

Oddly enough no. At least in the anime anyway.

 

[LordGinSama]

So what's the confusion here? Is the manga not canon?

 

[LordAizenSama]

Read the OP man.. we dont know

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

if it started out as an anime then the anime should be considered the main canon though

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

considering the original anime came out February 24, 2007

 

[LordGinSama]

As far as I'm aware the DTB anime is canon since it came out first. However I'll look into it

 

[Hizack123]

That last pic is priceless and i agree with this.

 

[Hizack123]

Wat happen?

 

[Gemmysaur]

It's still unproven, and I haven't the moonrune expertise to lurk around japanese sites for more data.

 

[Izreldan]

Bump

 

[Izreldan]

Another Bump

 

[Antvasima]

It does not seem like anybody is interested anymore.

 

[Hizack123]

Not that no one interested anymore, it more like we are playing the waiting game just like Darksoul upgrade.

That being said we should just close this for now.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.
