===Mind-controlled transformation=== | |||
Is Muro's transformation irreversible? Before he transformed he said "You are capable of so much more. Let me show you..." It implies that he has some control over his transformation. How much is not known. | |||
: A) He was able to delay the final transformation and triggered it later by will. | |||
: B) That of A plus more control so he can even untransform. | |||
In additional, "Let me show you..." can be interpretated that he knew to what he was able to transform and the fact that he stands at first in front of Mai with in his normal human appearance could be a hint that he's really able to untransform. | |||
The time of growth can be seen as another hint for the validity of option B. TCTF staff tried to avoid Daodan power bursts by instructing Konoko to tackle things not too forcefully and they even gave her Sytropin to slow down Daodan growth. But during a few days of combat Mai's Daodan developed fastly nonetheless. For Muro we can assume years of real combat experiences... | |||
From a practical point of view he should be able to untransform because of following reasons. | |||
:- psychologic / social reason: he was only familiar with his human appearance (it could be more ''comfortable'', he probably had the wish to stay human before he became used to it) / identity of and repect for a strong leader, fear of the strikers having a real monster as boss (With reverting the transformation Muro could have given the Strikers time to get used to him and showing them he's not the devil but a strong leader and even a ''superior being''.) | |||
:- physiologic reason: ergonomy - weapons, cars, mobile phones, door frames, seats, etc are all made in human dimensions ... Wouldn't it be stressful to walk through the land of man as a giant and watching out not to accidentally destroy everything? Hm... | |||
:- energy / resource: combat or active Imago skills probably use a lot of chemical bound energy. A human-like form could be some kind of ''energy saver mode''. | |||
It looks like the Imago stage was thought to have unlimited energy and Mai was just lucky Muro transform right before their fight. | |||
: ''[[Quotes/Objectives#CHAPTER_14_._DAWN_OF_THE_CHRYSALIS|(...)]] Muro has achieved the next level of Daodan evolution: the Imago stage. Muro's Daodan powers make him invulnerable, but having only just evolved he has limited energy reserves. You can hurt him when his energy is drained.'' | |||
To be honest I don't like at all the point of unlimited energy. I'm rather a friend on realism and would like to keep the laws of nature. Especially the law of the [[wikipedia:Conservation_of_energy|conservation of energy]] and the [[wikipedia:Conservation_of_mass|conservation of matter]]. Energy and matter cannot come be created from nothing and cannot vanish to nothing. You could say that the Daodan draws energy from another dimension. But if this becomes reused as ''normal'' unlimited energy sorce you might get weapons that can easily erase Imagos. | |||
