The Daughter of Twenty Faces Discussion Thread
Sindobook:
[spoiler alert... you have been warned]
It's similar, at least in concept, to Shion. Twenty faces wasn't ever looking for a lover, he was looking to groom a 'perfect' sucessor to carry on his legacy. She wasn't perfect enough, she angers easily, has a short temper, and enjoys toying with or causing pain in others. It's obvious why he left her, he is a careful man, and a perfectionist; he figured he would start all over with Chiko, who showed potential, and by getting her at a younger age, would have a better chance of being able to groom her into being a 'perfect' sucessor to carry on his legacy.

waaaiiiit, he wasn't looking for a successor. The successor FOUND and chose him! :p
So Twenty Faces was saying something about realizing the war is still on and so he abandons the thieves....
Now these parts are probably still yet to be revealed... but they do raise more questions.
Sindobook:
Why do you say that? In the beginning, he had infiltrated her life and made it possible for her to 'find' him. Who is leading on who? The truth of a character comes out in action, not words.
20 faces is an intelligent guy and has shown to be very capable when it comes to strategem, deception, and intrigue. You can't take the things he says at face value. In addition to his physical skills, he's also excellent at 'mind games' and being able to manipulate or control people, and at building underground support networks.
And 'the war' is clearly over, at least the type of war fought with classical weapons on the battlefield. When he said 'the war', he was clearly refering to something else.
eschiver:
Chiko chose to come with him. After all, he was about to leave without her, so technically, even though Chiko doesn't do it right away, she eventually claims herself as his successor... but I don't argue the point that twenty face opened up a chance for her to do so.
I guess I shouldn't have said found hehe since I used the word to mean she found him on TV and newspapers. I just think its debatable whether twenty face actually planned for chiko to be the successor. Might had just been coincidence/plot device. That or there is some twist in it as well. Like he knew her and found out about her from somewhere. But currently, since it isn't explicitly stated or shown, this aspect is quite debatable on both sides. it is quite common for some people to just meet by chance and hit it off from there.
Now about the war. I got nothing on that. No clue what it is about. When he says the war wasn't over, there's something to it that will probably be revealed later. So no comment, just speculation. :p

Well the revelation came after the incedent with Tigger and crew, which would've forced him to basically start over anyways. His underground network had been infiltrated, and only 2 members of his core team survived. Tigger probably wasn't acting on his own accord, I mean he was probably a mercenary or someone else put him to the task. Twenty faces' support network seemed rather unrealiable or undependable anyways, as we saw in earlier episodes. Maybe he just realised how lax he had become, that anyone who followed him put their own life at risk, and didn't want to involve anyone else in his own personal crusade or struggle.
