DrRusty Wrote:wtp happened in Chaos;Head 7. The episode starts out with Ayase commiting suicide :f6:. Why was she up there, and why'd she want to kill herself, and what are those dudes from NOZOMI talking about. I kind of understand how the delusions become reality, but what are they trying to accomplish? Why does time freeze whenever they bring out their Di-Swords? Why was everyone at school all of a sudden interested in Takumi? Why is the city all of a sudden going into chaos after that earthquake thing? Who payed those guys to beat up Takumi?
wow i have alot of questions. Those are just the ones I remember to ask.
*cracks knuckles*
The anime is much more confusing than the story actually is because they've been shaving off like almost all the back story and supplemental story. It's pathetic, really.
Ayase's been going through a really hard time. Her life has been messed up since she was born. She used to be enslaved by NOZOMI and they ran lots of experiments on her. They're the reason she has her Di-Sword, and she's one of the first code samples of a Giga-lo-maniac they obtained (for their Noah device). The people at @chan discovered she used to be mental patient (that mental hospital was just a cover NOZOMI used) and Phantasm really took a blow because of that. The police have been after and suspecting Ayase of being the New-Gen murderer because of her songs' lyrics.
And now she is starting to doubt the prophecy she's always believed in is even going to come true. With the accumulation of all these events, she decides she'd rather escape from it all than endure what she fears is going to happen. However, Takumi real-booted his delusion of her falling into a flowerbed and saved her life (the anime did a horrible job at showing this). As long as the anime doesn't cut it out, you should find out more about Ayase when she's in the hospital. A lot of very intense and informational events occur while she's hospitalized.

Those dudes from NOZOMI are talking about their Noah device, which will soon become Noah II (a god-like machine). NOZOMI basically controls a crapton of corporations, businesses, powerful people, etc. They're always controlling things behind the scene (even things you may not suspect...). With Norose heading the creation of Noah, he's been manipulating everything for his own selfish schemes. NOZOMI has been extracting code samples from the brainwaves of giga-lo-maniacs (Rimi, Ayase, Yui...) and using them to develop a machine that uses those powers.
By creating a device like this, their goal is create a new "reality" for Japan and eventually the world. With Noah II, they'll be able to control what everyone hears, feels, tastes, smells and even sees. Essentially, they can rewrite the world's five senses and become God themselves. They can control anything they want.

Time doesn't freeze when they create or real-boot their Di-Swords. I dunno where you got that.

Everyone at school was interested in Takumi because they had seen him talking to Ayase earlier that week (and she never talks to anyone). They assumed they were a couple or whatever. When she tried committing suicide, they thought Takumi had something to do with it.
However, none of that actually happens in the real story. The anime made all of that up...which is retarded. I figure they made that scene because they plan on taking out a scene which should be coming up. Something happens between Shogun and Takumi that gets him national attention. After that, everyone mocks him and picks on him. The anime is changing the story big time now, so I doubt they are even going to have that. Sadly, the anime doesn't even focus much on the events of Shogun and New-Gen cases. The anime is trying to make it all about NOZOMI as quickly as possible, which is terribly hurting the story.

The city is entering a state of chaos because that earthquake (the 2nd Melt) was created by Noah. Shibuya itself has a naturally high GE (gravitational error) rate which causes people to act on their emotions or desires much more greatly. It's why so many young people are drawn to Shibuya seeking fun or happiness. NOZOMI has been manipulating and raising the GE rates to accomplish their goals. Noah itself greatly spikes these rates, causing people to act irrationally.

Who paid those guys to beat Takumi up?
That's honestly a good question. It's never explicitly revealed who did it, and at first I thought it was Shogun. However, when it's later revealed that
Spoiler
is an insane psychopath that's been corrupted by NOZOMI, I thought it might have been him. So I'm torn between those two. I still feel it makes the most sense that it was Shogun (since his goal from the beginning has been to get Takumi to awaken), but at the same time I find that unlikely because Shogun wouldn't have risked going out in public like that. I decided it was the guy in the spoiler, but I'm not sure of his reasons other than to have fun. Perhaps the anime will explain it in a way that fits their own story best.
