Sheesh. Meant to make a post a while ago, but work has been absolutely insane lately. I barely have a life unto myself, and whenever my fiance is available... well, you know.
ANYhow...
Yes, Raven does indeed have the Blue and Orange Morality thing going, but it will all turn out well in the end. He loves a good bit of chaos, but he'd also like a Universe that's not trying to implode every thousand-odd-years or so. Hence Zeke and his Harem. (Hint: he wants to make damn sure there's a legacy this time.)
BTW: That Love Dodecahedron entry has to be one of the more fun ones to read. You bastard, you...
Kudos to the troper responsible for this tidbit on Martian Successor Nadesico:
The trope is even invoked during the dub's opening prologue, as
delivered by the Little
Miss Snarker:
Ruri: And what started
out as a love triangle has become a septagon by my count...
Anyhow, back on track here...
RE: Other Gods.
Definitely present and eventually to be accounted for. Everybody's favorite Nourns are gonna be making an appearance.
"No, Skuld, he has enough women to deal with. Maybe when you're older and he has everything sorted out..."
And so will the Tsunami-Washu-Tokimi Triumvirate. (This gives Zeke his look at the Tenchi-ken, and the opening for him to build a beam-saber of his own... though it won't be a match for the Tenchi-ken by any stretch. Also provides another male for commiseration of harem woes.)
Now, from the Nourns, I can see Skuld crushing from afar (such a magnificent engineer), Urd trying to help Zeke (with predictable results), and Belldandy trying to keep things under control while she gives Zeke the Advanced Course. (For the curious, Zeke actually is listed as having a Learner's Permit.)
From the Tenchi-verse Goddesses though... from there will come practical experience in dealing directly with higher-level entities as he takes part in the Ryo Ohki arc. The climax will be one of the few times we get to see Zeke go God-Mode and still be relatively in control.
And, of course, there will be the ones that I like to think of as Elementals: personifications of foundations of the Universe. Things like Chaos, and Entropy. Can anyone think of others?
Rob, you mentioned before that you had seen Stars, didn't you? Sorry, didn't mean to come off as being rude. But anyhow, Mayonaka is just too much fun to keep in Fenspace alone, so she's going to be playing the role of Chibi-chibi here.
