What....the....hell?

[Gozar]

I just watched Episode 4 tonight....& I am beyond confused. Infact, there's not a word in the dictionary to explain just how confuzzeled I am.

What happened with Naota's Dad? Is he dead? What did Haruko do to him? & why were there scenes of heads rolling & all....I am so confused right now....& creeped out too.

[FLCLismylife]

its no big dude no one gets it the first time through but the was a robot of his dad not the real thing and other than that what you thought was a sex scene between haruko and his dad was actually haruko fixing the robot.

[.miniman.]

Naotas dad during that ep wasn't Naotas dad, it was merely a robot created by Haruko because she felt lonely. The scene where Haruko decapitated is just Naotra being mad at haruko and thinking she was the mouse and Naotas cat as the...well, cat. He was just angry, first time I saw that I kinda freaked too.

[I am Alive]

Haruko didn't make it because she was lonely, she made it so she could use it to make Naota jealous.

Haruko didn't make it because she was lonely, she made it so she could use it to make Naota jealous.

I think she made it because she felt weird using some kid for an N.O. portal. So she tried a robot.
Remember when Kamon said his head didn't work? and when Amarou said "It can't just be any head" and it had Kamon wih a red X on him?

[I am Alive]

That's possible...

[Gozar]

So...is he dead though?

Also, was it also a robot when they were, er, fondling eachothwer on the kitchen table right in front of him?

[Johnny Ramone]

What I don't get is how Nao revived Kamon by dumping water on him.

[takashi flcl]

thats a tough one.

[I am Alive]

No... Kamon is alive now and it was a robot when they were fondling.

[Psychonaut]

nope. once kamon is alive, the robot gets run over by haruko. and the scene with haruko and kamon happens before naota realizes his "dad" is a robot.

and on the kitchen table, it's also the robot, electric massage, electric cord, but it is possible I guess to think something is happening to Kamon then.

Haruko never lets Kamon touch her or anything like that, although he tries a few times.*episode five*

[Really Terminal Core]

Ok, Haruko asked Kamon to use his head and he "gladly agreed"... and in case you don't remember, using a head for N.O. includes bashing on said head with a v.tough guitar. So Kamon dies, and Haruko hides the body in the closet and creates a replica to avoid being revealed. Of course, she wants robo-Kamon to suit her needs better than the real one would - she "flirts" with him, even uses him to make her a massage, which she'd *never* allow to a real one (even though he'd be extremely glad to ). He's no perfect, though, so she repairs him at night... and Naota hears her mumbling, discerns few ambiguously sounding phrases and thinks that some hot hentai stuff happens between them. He's boiling inside and the next day when he sees "dad" he finally explodes. I don't think the cat/mouse scene is what *really* happens - it's what his enraged imagination pictures to him. So he swings the bat - and whether he hits the robot or merely a TV, but the robot is broken. Amarao uses the situation to threaten the kid about supposed patricide when interrogating him. In the end, he tells the truth about the robot, so Naota comes home, discovers the body in the closet and revives him. Don't ask. Anime wonders, 'nuff said.

[I am Alive]

You just finished this thread.

[Psychonaut]

... awesome, but didn't Naota actually hit the Tv, which caused the clock to hit Kamon in the head?

[Johnny Ramone]

The whole episode was like one insane tripp-out sequence.
