Also, about turning someone into a nour. 1. You can only turn them if they're your true love, right? So how come…
She may have been taking her 2445th University course as far as we know... As long as she moves to different places and has convincing documents with different names, there was nothing stopping her - other than being incinerated, that is. Both Ken and Chita also talked about moving a lot and changing names...
I'm pretty sure people can have more than one true love in this, since her case is kinda like Chita's - got turned by someone who has to have been their true love if that part of the story is true, but ended up turning someone else (another true love) later... It's not like we know the Official Canon Word of God definition of true love in the Nour mythos anyway.
Okay I'm really enjoying this very much. Very shocked with the 2 ep drop this week! I was genuinely confused if…
Pear/Prae died in episode 7, the one who died in 8 was Tangme :X
I think Chita killed Arthit with his incinerating powers... He sure killed a bunch of random, innocent Nours with it just for revenge on them for _being Nours_, so he wouldn't have left the offending one 'alive' if he had any chance of finding him.
i might’ve missed it too but I don’t think Ken said it either. he just said they swapped bodies and then the…
The only Nour that is confirmed to have the Nour-killing power is Chita. (though there hasn't been any explanation why...)
In episode 1, during the suicide montage and right after the washing machine scene, Ken narrated: "That's when I found out there was someone who could kill us" with "us" referring to Nours. He only found out Nours could actually be killed 5 years ago, so there's no way his true love could've been killed over 200 years ago by another Nour.
(Even if the way Ken said he died seems kinda nonsensical in a deus ex machina way at this point, being revealed so late and happening in a way that doesn't seem to match how Nour transformations usually go... I hope we get an explanation of why and how that happened. From what Ken said, he tried to turn him, but somehow Ken got in control of his body, and he died, so... wtf does that even mean and why was Ken's turning into a Nour so different from the usual way he described?)
can James please relax and let Chita and Ji breathe for a second DAMN! he’s just popping up everywherealso why…
I also thought they were hiding his face, either because he was someone we already knew or to trick us, but then it was completely clear when he saw that other Nour munching on Chita. You should go back and check, his face is there.
I didn't understand how Ken's true love died...Can someone explain pls..
He simply said that he took over their body somehow [?] and thus they died. I guess they went into his dead original body? But no idea, really, he didn't explain it well at all. The only clear thing he stated was that his lover died because/right after he turned him, though. Hopefully there will be more about that in the finale.
And no, he couldn't have been killed by any other Nour, only Chita has that power as far as Ken and the audience know - though we have no idea why he has that unique ability...
I fvckin' knew it!!!!!!They let the story drag for JamesKen's lovey-dovey moments until last minute (without any…
Chita's motive was so weak I'm thinking about dropping my rating, too.
I had a bunch of other issues as well, but none as big as that other than, perhaps, how 3 of the 4 main characters seem to be Special Mary Sues with Unique Shit Happening to them - Ken's lover died when he turned him (which is not how it's supposed to go) and we've got no explanation, James has supernatural powers despite apparently being human (and we've got no explanation) and Chita has incinerating capabilities (because of ~reasons~) But at least they might decide to answer one or two of those questions in the finale... Chita's motive is more offensively silly and set in stone already.
"Oh, the only French man I ever knew... I loved him. But then, out of nowhere, he broke a promise by deciding he didn't want me to die and ugh! I never saw him again, but I sure got my revenge - it's been 50+ years, and you bet I've killed every single French person I met after that! Hah! That's what they get!" Chita, probably, as long as you change the word "French" for Nour.
Maybe he killed the neighbors beforehand just in case they'd have the opportunity for a nonsensical NC (the type you only have when you refuse to leave your house even though the cops think you're a serial killer and are after you.) /jk
The doctors whole moral dilemma of wanting to save lives and not kill anyone is stupid because he can get blood…
When Nours smell and/or see fresh blood, they tend to lose control. It's happened to Ken many times (all of the ones we saw happened with James) though he's over 200 years old and probably has a lot of self-control. What chance does a baby Nour have while living in a house with two humans that might hurt themselves at any given time? First kitchen incident or slip in the bathroom and he'd end up eating one of them, like he tried with Nin.
He probably made those himself. The wounds caused by his fire ability don't seem to heal at all, or those Nours…
I understand the motive, I just think it's weaksauce i_i
If those random Nours deserve to die without having done anything to him just because they're Nour, he should've killed himself @_@ It makes no sense to take revenge on an entire species because one of them did something shitty, and he has had over 50 years to realize that. He's kinda like those dudes who got hurt by one woman and got convinced all women are hellspawn who deserve the worst...
IMO it'll suck if he has powers 'just because', no explanation for him being so unique. It also seems like that's what's gonna happen to James (he has powers, why?) and with Ken being turned (how come the one who turned him died if that's not what always happens?) 3 out of 4 main characters having something exceptionally out of the norm/unique going on is kinda lazy to me. But maybe they'll cover at least two of these in the finale.
I think we're up for a huge disappointment with only 1 episode remaining. Nour as a whole I felt it was good although…
In order
1) I doubt we'd ever get like a reference book with the aura colors. It would be too much exposition, anyway, and I doubt they put that much thought into it. Then again, things like that do exist IRL - since seeing auras is a supernatural power people from this Earth claim to have and you might want to research into it... maybe? But it's deffo gonna be a loose thread. Doesn't bother me the way it bothers you, but not knowing why James, of all people, has a supernatural power, should be resolveed. I hope they reveal it next episode (preferably by confirming his father was a Nour, since Chita apparently kills mainly Nours - and humans who get in his way /cough TANGME /cough
2) James was being selfish. It's just annoying behavior from an imperfect character.
3) That one pissed me off from the freaking promo. I even commented about it on YT - "what do you mean, James is telling the normal, human, MORTAL cops to arrest Chita at sight? does he want them dead?" And then, of course, one of them got murdered, surprising 0 people. Dumbassery.
4) Right? They didn't talk about anything real. Two guys, just pretending one didn't try to drink the living red goo oozing from the other's hand and that he's going away to study abroad. Healthy communication between men is apparently just a myth.
The ones about Chita I addressed in their own comment because I'M SO ANNOYED.
8) Again, I'm sure they did things following the rule of cool (what looks better/feels better in each scene) and not actual rules, so I doubt we're getting anything on that. I'm supposing, from roleplaying games and other more complete lore, that they "spend" or use up the blood they have in their digestive systems to heal, and have to feed again soon when they do; and that regenerating a whole body part takes more blood than simply closing some holes. I'm also guessing newer Nours don't have much control over their powers or hunger.
I actually don't think there should be anything to make the fight fair. They're supernatural humanoid predators humanity doesn't understand; being at a disadvantage is what makes us able to see the horror in it. [?]
9) Maybe they're gonna put Chita in a sealed metal coffin and sink him in the sea u_u So he'd be underwater forever, really hungry, but wouldn't have to die (I saw that in a vampire show, really.) Other than that, no idea. I don't even think there's any real proof that Nours are anything but folklore/urban legends, so I dunno if they'd have to go the scientific way and show the world they exist and have Chita taken for scientific experimentation - that's even more cruel than the coffin, and I hate it.
10) Like I said in 1 - hopefully next episode we'll get confirmation that James's dad was a Nour, which is why Chita killed him, and that James's powers are related to that. This is one of few things I actually think they might address. Fingers crossed.
11 and 12) I'm extra-freaking pissed at what little we got from Ken's past. Not because I need a full on prelude episode, I understand they're focusing on his present RN, but because the story he told about his true love-maker-person made no sense. Why did he die when he turned him if that isn't how Nours are usually made? Why was this an exception? (And going back to 1, 5, and 10... Why does James have powers when other humans don't? Is he an exception? Why does Chita have incinerating powers? Is he an exception? Why is everyone in this show an unexplained exception? 3 out of the main 4 are Exceptional Different Unique Mary Sue Chosen Ones and we're supposed to be okay with that?)
I think we're up for a huge disappointment with only 1 episode remaining. Nour as a whole I felt it was good although…
I finished watching and I'm very annoyed at a couple of things. I DMed you one of them earlier... RN what pisses me off the most is Chita. Like. His entire thing. (your points 6 and 7, if I counted correctly)
If his reasoning for being a Nour serial-killer was "oh, I kill Nour because they're evil, they murder people, so I'm saving humans from predators," I could KIND OF buy it, as long as he didn't kill people, too - but it's so much more superficial and cheaper than that o_o
Dude commits murder because he's a... speciesist, or something. It's like a dog bit him, so now he hates all dogs and goes out of his way to kill them. Or a Frenchman almost ran him over, so now he goes around murdering French tourists. Or a caucasian called his mother names, and now he thinks all caucasians are satan incarnate and throws them off cliffs. He thinks he can take revenge on an entire species because THE MAN HE LOVED made one (very) bad decision.
(and he made the same bad decision with Ji. ugh! hypocrite!!!!)
Honestly, if that's how his reasoning works, he should've killed himself the same freaking day! 8D
