louiseluxWeiss Kreuz Gluhen - I need a chart, and a double brandy. Who were all those other people?
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, please. I figured out who the Crashers were, I think. They were the people who blew up Mafida's palace, including Queen and Knight who we saw playing chess. Aya used to be a Crasher.
Rosenkreuz: they share the same name as the school/lab in Germany, where it seems all the assassins are trained and/or tampered with to make them into crazy psi-assassins. Rosenkreuz are copies (clones?) of Schwarz or from some common genetic material. Rosenkreuz the group is controlled by Eszett.
Mamoru Takatori (but he'll always be Omi to me) controls Weiss, the Crashers and by the end has a tentative alliance with Nagi and possibly the rest of Schwarz. Farfarello appears (disturbingly) in Crawford's inner world: Schwarz are friends, at least with each other.
So, all the assassins came out of Rosenkreuz Crazy Lab, which is controlled by Eszett. Some of them (Weiss & Crashers) worked for the renegade good Takatori brothers. Some of them (Schwarz & Rosenkreuz) remained in the employ of Eszett. Schwarz broke away from Eszett to become independent. They were out to further their own interests, which were never made very clear. At the same time, after exposure to a toxic Duran Duran video, their fashion sense began to wither and die.
Let there be no more mention of Schuldig's outfit. Or Crawford's monocle!
By the final episode, Eszett is destroyed, or at least the bit in Japan. The three Swiss elders are dead, but what happens to the Rosenkreuz lab? Rex talks about training a new Weiss, so perhaps they'd be trained there. Eszett survives in Europe?
Poor Omi. Lucky Yoji being able to forget. Ken - saved by football.
Aya - I have no words. Christ. Who was the blond child and the person with dark hair? The new Weiss? Did Omi set it up, because he knew that Aya could never be happy? The talk of bearing bloody crosses and the sins of others made me suspicious that he would have to die, but I didn't want to accept it. Aya said at some point that Weiss would have to be punished themselves one day.
But well, all I'm saying is that it was an open ending and some kind person could notice that there's a man bleeding to death on the pavement and call an ambulance.

Date: 2004-10-05 07:40 am (UTC)If Omi did set it up, he has indeed managed to kill off his old self.
He changed very much towards the end, and especially in the final episode I got the feeling that he'd accepted his life was going to be bleak and depressing. I could see him doing it out of pity for Aya.
The whole why-are-Shwarz-there? question is going to drive me nuts, I can tell. Why do they turn up? I got the impression that they were called up by mistake when Tsuji calls up Rosenkreuz to fight Weiss. I might just have to find a good quality written overview of the whole thing, to stop my head from exploding. I agree with you about what Schuldig says to Weiss - it seems more a boastful comment to me. I got the impression that Schwarz weren't there to fight Weiss at all. And Nagi is now a telepath too, confusingly.
As to when Nagi came to be friends with Omi - it's interesting that both the youngest members of the teams turn out to have the most power. Nagi certainly seemed more powerful in some ways than Crawford or Schuldig. Perhaps Omi sought him out, seeing him as a valuable ally?
Sweet Jesus Crawford looked a mess, didn't he?
