This question of mine came to me after reading the AlienNine: Emulators. I already had this question for some weeks, but it was until I realised that I could post this question on this board. Ok, I scanned the scene from my book (bent it 90 degrees, was like nearly freaking out. Excuse me for the poor picture quality).

Image

If you don't know, the person in the bag is Kumi, NOT YURI (Kumi fused with Yuri a few scenes ago, This is for those who hadn't read the book yet). However, I would like to know why Kumi kept referring to herself as 'Kumi' instead of 'I'. In the section on the right, Kumi said ,'Kumi isn't the type to only think of herself', instead of 'I ain't the type to only think of myself'. Kasumi seems to be talking not to Kumi but someone else, as she said 'But Kumi's gonna die if we don't do something' instead of 'but you're gonna die if we don't do something', even though she was talking to Kumi directly.

It is as though Kasumi was talking to someone else. If it is, then who would it be? Perhaps the borg Kumi had fused with? Or is this just a typo error? (I noticed a few obvious errors in the 4 books. Not typo errors, but more of illustrative errors...)

So... what do you think?

UGH that part confused me so bad. I'm not sure what was going on.

I wasn't really much of a fan of the Emulators book anyway.. :x

I don't think Monami was involved in the conversation at all. I guess Kasumi really like Kumi a lot such that she went 'don't-leave-me-kumi' instead of saying her usual 'nyaa!' or 'neow!'. Somehow, I reckon that it was Kumi's borg that was doing the talking, as Kumi's eyes are of the X's shape. I'm not really sure though. Tomizawa could do with a little extra illustration here.

Another thing, Kumi did not completely fuse with Yuri right? I guess Kumi did not kiss (that is if she did kiss in the first place) long enough. XD Kumi came out of the Yellow Knife looking like Yuri except for her eyes.

Well, I think there was no borg except the one of Monami, cause Kumi is a borg. So I think it's maybe a mistake of the translator

Hmm... an error of the translator. Well, I never thought of that, but that is a possibility too. And if it is, it is an EXTREMELY IRRITATING error!

Another thing which I found rather... amusing. Not an error or typo, but I wonder about Tomizawa's intention of drawing something in Book 1...

(I don't want to put up the picture coz it's rather obsence. Sai will murder me if i do. XD Need official permission first...)

In Book 1, for Operation 8: Hyper Growth, I really wonder why Tomizawa did that drawing of Yuri... erm... *hmph*. If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about, can say it's a bad thing... Perhaps Tomizawa was being naughty or just... *cough*

No Monami was the one that said "Kumi isn't the type to think of herself". Kasumi really cared about Kumi so that's why she wanted Kumi to fuse with Yuri (like all borgs want to do) Monami was involved with what happened with Kasumi and Kumi when Kumi was in the hospital the whole time

Hey, I didn't think of that. Now that this is mentioned, it seems that this is the case. I don't see the hook at the speech bubble that directs to the speaker, so it's possibly Monami that said it. Thanks for the note. XD
