Elfen lied why cousin

Yuka is actually extremely modest and just about every outfit she wears she is completely covered. Someone made a remark that she 'deliberately shows off her panties therefore she's a slut'.

When was this? Only time I remember her undergarments showing was when she slipped in the rain. Now one can't sit there and say that slipping and falling is deliberate. There's been plenty of times when I would wear a skirt and it would accidentally flap up and show my panties. Was it deliberate? Hell no! Same thing goes with Yuka. They're called accidents for a reason. Also, I'd like to point out that the manga specifically states that she's a virgin and wishes to save herself for Kouta.

I highly doubt that describes a slut. She's a crybaby Now you can't sit there and say you wouldn't cry to if you were in love with someone and it looked like there was someone else in their life and you meant nothing to them. I sure have. Women are a lot more emotional than men. This is a well known fact. The only time she really cried was once when reminiscing over the festival they both attended as children, also the same time I'm assuming her feelings for him started to develop.

That was a big and important day to her and the one she loves doesn't remember it at all. I'm sure any other woman would be crushed as well. Yuka found herself driven to distraction by the thought that Kouta was leaving Kamakura for a year till the next summer, and made him promise not to forget her.

They frequented the summer-time game vendors, wherein Yuka wanted to best Kouta to impress him, though he seemed to like her already, teasing her in a friendly way to get better. Unknown to any member of their family, as summer was ending, Kouta climbed a nearby mountain and met a strange young girl with horns , a young Lucy , whose real name he somehow never learned, and their friendship led to the girl developing feelings for him. While at the festival, Yuka was distraught that her cousin would be leaving for an entire year once the festival ended.

Kouta comforted her, and both of them were unaware that Lucy caught sight of the display and the revelation of Yuka's gender. Since Kouta had previously said his cousin was male, this led Lucy to believe he had betrayed her and was lying to her all along. The cousins, not seeing her, went about the festival grounds as normal until Kouta's panicked father found them. A bomb had supposedly gone off and led to the death of many festival-goers and after a frantic search for Kanae, who had witnessed the "bomb" Lucy using her powers to kill other people.

The family left for the train station. Murders she subsequently committed while at the Festival were also taken as work of the bomber and caused Kouta's father to leave Kamakura with his family for their home in Hokkaido that very night. Yuka and her mother saw them off, with Yuka waving goodbye for every last second she could see the train. Shortly after, an enraged Lucy killed Kouta's family , and then threatened to kill Yuka as well.

A heart-sick Kouta grabbed at her, the tone of which made Lucy realize too late Kouta had never meant to hurt her. The anime depicts Yuka learning of both the method of the killings and Kouta's shattered state of mind from relatives speaking of it at the funeral.

A year in a hospital it's unknown what type of hospital helped Kouta to become functional again, but he had suppressed much of his childhood memories to escape the trauma of witnessing the murders, and this included his memories of Yuka and what they had meant to each other. Though they did not see each other again for the rest of their childhood, Yuka never surrendered the belief that Kouta would come back to her, as he promised.

In high school, Yuka became Sempai senior student mentor to Nozomi , a nervous younger student. As they both approached college-age, Yuka learned that Kouta had applied to a university near Kamakura, one known for taking students with lower grades.

Effectively sacrificing part of her future to be near him, Yuka entered the same school and awaited his arrival that fall, when the two would finally be reunited. But however Yuka believed this might go, it is safe to say what did happen shattered all her expectations. For Lucy was about to re-enter their lives.

Yuka met Kouta as he arrived back at Gokurakuji Train Station for the first time in eight years. Whether she knew before this of Kouta's traumatic amnesia, his total lack of memories concerning Yuka terribly upset her. Trying to jog those memories, she took him to Yuigahama Beach , where they and Kanae had played as children and just near the hilltop where they reunited.

Staggering out from the surf, naked and with a head wound was the horned girl Lucy, now also suffering from amnesia. Kouta of course no longer remembered her, and Yuka had never known her. In the intervening eight years, she had been captured by a research facility and renamed Lucy by the staff, though Kouta, Yuka and those they would come to live with rarely if ever used or even knew of that name. Escaping amidst a bloody slaughter , Lucy was wounded while leaving the island facility, taking a head injury from a sniper's rifle that not only gave her amnesia but left her in a childlike state.

Concerned about the girl's well-being, dignity, and privacy, the cousins at Yuka's suggestion took her to Maple House , a former inn and restaurant now being leased to Kouta from Yuka's mother on a maintenance agreement, thought that overwhelmed Kouta at first. But for both of them, the real challenges lay in re-starting their relationship and dealing with Lucy, who they named 'Nyu' after the only sound she seemed able to make in her childlike state.

From the start, Nyu's lack of restraint on all fronts would prove a handful for the pair, leading to many an awkward, tense moment between them. When Kouta took ill after an argument with Yuka and some antics from Nyu including an ill-fated attempt to change her clothes , Yuka regained her resolve to maintain the relationship, despite what she saw as Kouta's perversion and seeming insensitivity.

Her world was rocked, though, when Kouta's recollection of his family's death differed radically from what Yuka knew to have happened. Whatever she had or had not known of it before, Yuka now firmly realized that Kouta did not remember her because he could, in fact, remember nothing of his childhood past a certain point.

Yuka also realized that Kouta's false memories were a defense mechanism against his past trauma. Moving in with Kouta and their charge, Yuka also began to keep an eye on the unpredictable but loving Nyu. Originally, when the confused girl ran off after being scolded by Kouta, it was Yuka who decided to retrieve her. This effort would lead to a brief and painful encounter with the former agent Bando , who was searching for Nyu's other-self.

It would also result in a much longer association with the girl Mayu and her small dog Wanta , who became first the concern of the cousins and then their responsibility as they took her in and gave her a home. Both Kouta and Yuka were thrown off by how readily Mayu's mother agreed to let her relocate. If either suspected the grim secrets of Mayu's past, they kept to their agreement with her and asked no more questions about it. Mayu in effect became their daughter, in all ways but a formal adoption.

Though rarely seen, Yuka's mother was alive throughout the series, and it seems likely that she was asked to give her approval for each new resident. With no one home to watch over the rambunctious Nyu, the cousins started bringing her with them to college classes, hoping she would keep quiet and not draw attention to herself. This hope proved impossible in the worst ways. Confused when separated from the cousins for even the briefest of times, Nyu found herself bumping into the wounded Bando , an encounter more comical than dangerous, as well as some curious students.

Recovered by the pair in time to avoid those mishaps, a later attempt to pull this off went wrong. Yeah, America is one of the only major nations where cousins are considered taboo Cousins are different enough that there aren't any worries for inbreeding problems.

User Info: Jayjs User Info: EskimoBrother. My mom is married to my grandpa. Its normal to me. EskimoBrother posted The events at the end of the anime strongly imply that the events of the later parts of the manga are still to come, and even if Kurama isn't needed somehow, Lucy is. In the manga, her power grows to such a state that massive use of that power in several battles and then to heal Kouta destroys her body's integrity, causing it to melt.

In the last act of mercy and love, Kouta kills her to end her pain and agony. Since Diclonius means two horns, technically, the Kakuzawas are Diclonii. The Kakuzawas are ordinary Humans born with a minor genetic mutation. They never had powers or any other thing that made them more than Human. True Diclonii can sense one another's presence, but Lucy never sensed any such presence from either Professor Kakuzawa or his father. Since the revealed Kakuzawa family history included tales of their persecution by non-horned Humans in feudal Japan, it seems likely that the racial and eugenics stories the family told were just that, stories meant to rally the morale of a people who were hunted and hated by others.

Their case is also not helped by both Kakuzawas making it clear they intend to use her solely for furthering their own glory.

Bottom line : Lucy didn't want them because they weren't part of her kind and they saw her only as a tool instead of a person. There are indeed males but they are so extremely rare that we never see one in the anime and in the manga we see only one Male Diclonius , who is Lucy's half brother. Very few knew of him and those who did were convinced that he was one of the only males in existence.

The series offers no evidence one way or the other, yet more males could have been in hiding, or simply have gone unnoticed by sheer low numbers. There are multiple instances of naked flesh and sexual situations. Elfen Lied has these and so does life.

Lucy, as Nyu, is a totally innocent girl, unaware of the impact her antics have on everyone, especially Kouta. The nudity of the Diclonius girls inside the facility isn't meant to be sexual at all and instead shows how inhumanely they're treated as experimental test subjects.

A good example to think of is the anime-only scene where Kouta runs to rescue Nana from Mariko. She has been stripped naked by Mariko, but his only concern is for a member of his family.

Her prosthetic limbs even put him off more than anything. Bottom line : The ecchi content is like the gore and violence - raw, and part of the core of Elfen Lied. It would seem, and it is widely agreed, that they are the reincarnations of both Lucy and Nyu, and, with a new life, comes innocence and redemption. Are they Diclonii? Who are their parents, or did Lucy's death burst of power create them somehow? Will Kouta treat them as friends of his daughter or as if they were his actual daughters?

What will Yuka think when she meets them? Bottom line : The twins are hope. Hope that love and friendship can triumph over any and every obstacle. An appropriate end for the rollercoaster ride that is Elfen Lied. The basic opinion is that director Mamoru Kanbe didn't want her there.
