AXZ Keywords #11

Alright, with AXZ officially wrapped up it's time to start rewatching from episode 1 and look for all the little things that foreshadowed the ending. Of course we can't do that without the keywords to help explain the more technical aspects, and provide more background, so I'm pushing for full completion when the last set come out at the end of this week.








The Leyline Blockade Plan (Update)

It all wasn't in vain.

The long, drawn out monologues weren't in vain. What a relief.


(TL Note: Nobody seems to have any solid idea what this actually refers to. It mostly likely refers to Yatsuhiro working to convince Japanese government officials to back the plan. But it could possibly refer to Kaneko convincing the rest of the staff to go along with his whims...or even the keywords themselves.) 





God Killer (Update)

In the end, the source was neither Hibiki or Gungnir. Rather it was the concept of Gungnir, its very existence having become warped after thousands of years through the power of words. It's different from the Symphogear, which uses the power of song, and rather is classified as a "Philosophical Armament." It does more than simply overpower the seeming immortality of divine forms. In fact, due to the special property of Hibiki's armed gear, "reach and connect," it can deliver a blow to every target throughout all parallel universes at the same time. This leaves no opportunity for one version to become a scapegoat for another, it is a merciless spearhead that pierces through them all simultaneously.




Adam Weishaupt (Update)

His true identity is a scrapped human prototype, a doll, created even before the era of prehistoric civilization. The reason he was scrapped was for being too "perfect." He was outfitted with all the abilities and functions that his creators wanted, but only those and nothing else. Eventually it was determined that this caused him to have zero potential for evolution and thus he was passed over as being officially designated as "human." He was scheduled to be expunged, but broke free of his chains and fled. His creators ceased to hold any further interest, leaving him to lurk throughout history. Instead his creators combined the qualities they both liked and disliked into an imperfect being (the human species) which was formally accepted by them. However, Adam realized he surpassed these beings and thus determined to find a way to stand on equal ground with his creators. That was the beginning of the society formed by Alchemists. In order to stand above all else, the Bavarian Illuminati was created under the ideal of seeking perfection. However Adam was already "perfect," yet could not produce any new power or plans on his own. Thus in order to reach his creators he covered for that by leaving it all in the hands of the other Alchemists. The lapis philosophicus, the transmutation of gold, Tiki, his use of the four elements (Aristotle) and even his cool hat were all things laid out before him by someone else's research. The perfect yet incompetent Adam has always progressed toward his goal with a smile on his face, treading paths that had already been forged by others.




Divine Weapon

The name given to Tiki after she was converted into a weapon by drawing power not from the stars of Earth, but rather the stars of the Heavens. The form Tiki took acts like a protector created from energy and fashioned around her like armor, similar to the Symphogears worn by the Adaptors. The appearance of this form is heavily influenced by her innocent and ridiculous dream of being able to use the Power of God to become human and bear enough children to make a baseball team. At Adam's whim, although she would have done it for his sake regardless, she became a murderous and destructive weapon with not even the slightest show of hesitation. The true potential of this weapon is far beyond human comprehension. It shares the perfect defensive ability previously displayed by the prototype, Youaltepuztli, that negates any damage by sacrificing one of its existences in a parallel world. However, even beyond that it can also sacrifice one of its alternative selves and use the resulting energy as an overwhelming offensive attack that strikes like a storm.




Valverde Documents

A trove of documents created by the German army during the previous war that were held by the Valverde Government. There is no particular order or classification for these documents, they contain a truly wide variety of things. From catalogs of art pieces that were lost or destroyed during the war, to a letter from a lone soldier written to his fiance back home. Part of these documents, a very small part, relate to a subject now considered taboo: the creation of superhumans through eugenics. They also contain research relating to a certain "spear"that was used by a centurion.
