Charlotte - Yusa Nishimori & Misa Kurobane Character Discussion

Key Discussion
#46

I don’t think Yusa gained her powers due to Misa dying and wanting to see her again. I think her desire was there from the start: Yusa, being an airheaded imouto who was the opposite of Misa, wanted to become a person like Misa, perhaps subconsciously. In a similar way that Yu was always thinking of others, Yusa was specifically always thinking of Misa. This manifested in that she can now actually become Misa. Maybe if Misa never died, the “conditions” would not have been right and Yusa wouldn’t have developed powers.

Perhaps her lack of character is her character in that she subconsciously uses Misa as a crutch so that she never has to think or worry about dealing with anything. Or maybe she’s just a bad character.

I think you are onto something. In the last episode Yusa told us about how she was always right behind Misa. So I think her being like that has to do with her trust for Misa and since she always did protect her and everything.

Except that Misa is an actual person with actual memories; Unless you are saying that she wants to become Misa, which is also another way of interpreting this!

…which @Kaze already said XD

That too? :stuck_out_tongue:

I was trying to not make a deal about that last one, but you had to point it out. Being an airhead doesnt make her a bad character at all, in fact airheads are there to bring a bit of a funny flair into things. People are really too strict with her. Like I always like to say, you have to look at the whole thing first, before you can judge it. Mostly there are resons behind behaviour like that in anime for example, if anybody watches that, in the currently also airing School Life. If you watch the show, you will understand, what I mean, if you dont, check it either out or read up on it, if you are just interested, what I mean.

“Bad character” is a bit too general, I guess. That personality has a purpose in the story, so it’s not a “badly-written character”; but it’s just the kind of character trait that I find unappealing. Hence “bad character” here simply means I don’t quite like her :stuck_out_tongue:

#51

well, I understand you and I can accept your opinion on that. I am really liking her so far, but that’s probably just me liking those kinds of girls in anime in general.

I was wondering if yusa now knows about misa. The scene in ep8 when they’re arguing about who should go to the concert Yuu says casually ‘Hey why don’t we ask Misa?’. And I had the impression that yusa was still there at this moment.

#53

Indeed, that is kinda weird, as far as we know, Yuusa is not aware of her powers and believe she just fall asleep or lose consciousness whenever Misa takes over. Nao probably told her or something, at least this is what I assume. But it is not confirmed as far as I know.

#54

I think, way back in Episode 3, Yusa was still blind to her own power but… It’s been a really long time since then. I am confident in saying that, at this point in time, Yusa is already aware of her own power and that she can summon Misa when it happens.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post this, but there was a little, non-serious segment, that kind of subtly proved that Misa and Yusa are separate entities:

Sure, it was played for laughs, but Misa is clearly a ghost in that one, and not a multiple personality or anything like that… lol

I like the fact that it gives us an idea of how Misa actually looked. We normally see her through Yusa’s traits, but as a ghost like that it is her and not her sister’s face.

thanks for finally pointing that out. Screw those stupid theories with absolutly nothing to back it with. As for the thing in this episode, I think Misa is kinda always listening and just coming out when she is mentioned and therefore this thing happened.

So this dog does have a meaning, huh?

#59

that is definitly another dog and is again only for the music video.

#60

BUT IT’S CLEARLY SYMBOLIC why would they put dogs in both music videos??

because people be like: ooooh, look at that cute dog

It brings in money.

#62

It doesn’t make sense for me. I think this dog will have a deep meaning further in the story. I just don’t like the idea of things without purpose in the story…

#63

Please don’t take me seriously when I use double question marks. <_<

There is a joke about bitches here and I can’t quite form it.

I’ve watched the whole anime now and I think that these powers where decided when the person was first born by some aspect of that person and developed along with that person but can no longer change once awakened. I say this because they have these powers are because of the Charlotte comet and it was said that the particles from the comet will touch and awaken a sector of people that was ment to stay dormant forever and surface when they are most sensitive which means during adolescence and will go away after that person’s adolescence is over
