Hello buddies.-
I watched alien nine’s anime yesterday but I haven’t read the manga yet, although I’ve got my own opinion about what those seven days mean:
At the end of the fourth episode Kumi’s Borg was very injured, it means (I think) that the final scene take place little time before Yellow Knife fight, probably less than seven days. Why? Well, think about: it tooks a month for the Borgs to grow-up completely when they died, so, they’re able to regenerate their bodies very fast. I don’t think it tooks more than a week for Kumi’s Borg to regenerate for the injures suffered during the Yellow Knife incident.
If that’s true then the final scene (and “Kumi’s death”) happened almost immediately after the Yellow Knife situation (maybe the next day), but before the first scene of the fourth episode.
On the other hand, I’ve read that Kumi had got an operation to save her life after she was attacked on the library in the manga version. It matched perfectly with this theory, I think.
So, the Yellow Knife was murdered by Kumi (well, not exactly because it commited suicide), and one or two days after that Kumi’s murdered too (meanwhile her Borg’s still recovering).
Five days after that she’s alive because the operation.
Furthermore, did you remember the name of the fourth episode? Yes, it’s “The end of the beginning”... is an introduction to the rest of the serie, I mean, it is something like “this is just the end of the beginning, if you want more, look for the manga...”
What do you think about it? Am I wrong? Am I right?... that was just an opinion.
Yuri, Kumi and Kasumi... I love you girls!!
