Synopsis:
Hideki discovers that the water main under the city has broken and the city is experiencing a mysterious blackout. He finds Chi floating in the air and she confesses her love to him. He does the same, Freya reveals that Chi is incapable of sexual intercourse since doing so would reset her, erasing her memories in the process. Hideki decides that this does not matter and will still stay with Chi. Freya then tells Hideki to take care of her sister and goes away. Chi awakens in his arms, happy to have finally found her soulmate. Zima and Dita later discuss Chi's unique ability to destroy the individual recognition programs on all persocoms, given to her to use if she failed in finding a soulmate.
Topics:
- Will's Evangelion rebuild review.
- What if Chi's programming affecting later Persecom models was used in a real-life application? Imagine that..
- What could have been better?
- Can there be true love between two people without sex?
- Filler episodes, from the onsen bath houses to Dragonball's villain detours and Full Metal Alchemist's divergent nexus point.
Differences in the Anime:
An article by Lesley Aeschliman provides a great list of differences in the anime adaptation. Such as:
- Shimbo and Hideki are neighbours.
- Chi does not buy Hideki a ring in the anime.
- Chi's programming at the end of the anime differs from the manga, and is allowed to run, thus affecting all the persocoms. Simply put; Manga: Freya will make persocom completely emotionless if Hideki does not love Chi. Anime: Freya will give persocom capacity to love if Hideki loves Chi.
- Hideki recognises that he is not talking to Chi when Freya speaks.
