Trying to make sense of Elfen Lied. 12/15/23
---- replying to @soupedman "attachment"
this guy when he got an arm torn off and his eyes popped apparently got the diclonius gene
that's why he needs to be castrated
okay so there's two races
of like
humans
normal guys (kouta, yuka, bandou) and dicloniuses (dicloni?)
dicloni have psychic powers
psychic limbs or something
might be more
dunno
dicloni also have horns
nyu and nana are both dicloni
they beat the shit out of eachother earlier
dicloni are also kind of really violent
nyu (when she goes nuts (her actual name is lucy)) is HYPER violent
attacking basically any normal person
other than kouta for some reason
probably has something to do with kouta's family being torn in half
dunno
nana isn't really VIOLENT violent but she knows how to fuck shit up with her psychic powers and also has been tortured since birth to become the anti-lucy basically
kurama is also probably a diclonius
he is the leader of the like
diclonius capture center
he raised nana and fucking HATES lucy (mutually)
the professor guy also probably is
neither kurama nor the professor have horns though
so
mystery?
it's probably just a biological thing
like a crusty scummy bad science fiction biological thing
