I think he is referring to a Date-a-Live were the Spirits genuinely don't know anything else that to fight and Ratatoskr is out to change that:

>>What if the Spirit learns what's good and bad?
>>What decision will the Spirit take.
>>Can Shidou move them to a peaceful resolution?

The list goes on. Please note that Origami's hatred for the Spirits becomes much more justifiable in this version of the setting, AST begin outmatched and forced into diversion tactics becomes much more understandable AND the fact that DEM has the means to actually defeating a Spirit with the Adeptus becomes that much more scarier in this version of the setting... Here too, the list goes on...

I think you could see a bit of what Tohka was originally envisioned as in Inverse Tohka.

Specifically when she calls Shidou a "human who's trying to trick me."

Though, if you really think about it, that doesn't quite make sense in the current story. Why would Inverse Tohka be wary of humans if she never came in contact with them? If she still has regular Tohka's memories but is filled with negative emotion shouldn't she still recognize Shidou then? She's either a amnesiac instinctive destructive force or a reflection of Tohka's darker thoughts, she can't be both.

She doesn't. Her whole being was overtaken by normal Tohka which is why the memories began to reappear. To me they're separate beings entirely.

Yes it's still a simple no they don't deserve to be saved and ratatoskr would be a pretty shit organization if that was how the series was set up. They have to be good, or else there is no legitimate reason to bother going through the trouble of saving them.
>>
>>113501474
There were more hints that inverse Tohka has already been to the human world. For starters, she asked where she was and said she'd never heard of the place, she clearly knows what humans are and doesn't seem to care for them, and wescott also seemed to know exactly what he was doing and who would appear
>>
>>113501343
In retrospect it's really, really obvious that Tachibana just added a few extremely contrived elements to please his editor and left it at that.

>Spirits aren't allowed to kill anyone so they'll just half-heartedly defend themselves while making sure to not seriously injure anyone even thought that makes no sense if you really think about it.
>But if spirits don't kill anyone then why do people hate them? Let's toss in a spacequake plot device that kills millions of people but isn't actually directly the fault of the spirits themselves! But it'd still be too dark if spacequakes killed anyone in the present, so let's say that those deaths all happened in the past and in the present cities all have ridiculously unrealistic spacequake shelters in place that have a 100% success rate in protecting the entire city's citizens from spacequakes and spirit battles!
>And just to make sure spirits don't kill anyone, AST personnel are equipped with equipment ludicrously skewed towards defense so that they're almost impossible to kill but have almost no offensive firepower, even though that goes against all logic!

The original version of the spirits would be much akin to child soldiers in a war-torn country who have committed plenty of atrocities due to being forced into the role.

Remember that even though Tohka looks 16, mentally she's pretty much a toddler. There would be as much legitimate reason to save a Tohka who's leveled cities as there would be to save a twelve year old child soldier who has a kill count numbering in the dozens. They just don't know better.
>>
>>113501663

So if inverse Tohka is her own person who has come into contact with people before and been hurt by them, isn't Shidou a pretty damn big hypocrite for claiming that he'll save all the spirits and yet ignoring the inverse ones? He'll save Tohka but inverse Tohka can go to hell?

>>113501722
Everything described was extremely early draft. Original concepts called spirits "monsters" instead of spirits, they didn't use spacequakes, they just destroyed everything themselves. This was deemed a bad idea because it made them seem to inherently evil which I agree with. There was never any evidence they would have killed anyone, but the collateral damage was caused intentionally instead of indirectly

Right on track there dude! Quite a few of the odd inconsistencies in DaL can be put in this severe toning down as the Author was going for heavier story setting. The other can be put on the fact that, because of DaL popularity, the story has been stretched way past the original plan of 10 Volumes.

That said, all of this makes me wonder both how DaL would have been had it been 2Fast4Furious in 10 Vols only AND to ponder the fact that maybe, just maybe, the Editor-san may have been right in lowering the weight of the story in order to focus on a far more caring and fun tale...

She seems to have her own memories as well as personality. We'll probably never revisit it again, and never really know how it works, but it sure as heck seems like what you said is exactly the situation. Which is a bit cruel, but inverse is supposed to be nothing but evil.
>>
>>113501961
>This was deemed a bad idea because it made them seem to inherently evil which I agree with
If a bear mauls a group of tourists because one moron decided to throw rocks at it does that make the bear "inherently evil"? In this original scenario mankind would've almost assuredly fired the first shot to cause said spirits to begin raging in the first place. Hell this scenario is left intact in the final draft with Tohka attacking the AST to defend herself as well as causing minor property damage (the spacequake caused the rest) and being labeled "evil" and a target to be eliminated because she endangers humanity. The point is that she's not and she deserves a second chance because all she's ever known is being attacked by strange girls flying through the sky and could learn to co-exist peacefully with humanity if given the opportunity to. The original scenario would've just taken off all the silly training wheels and have her actually attacking what she perceives as the enemy and being the source of the catastrophe herself rather than some odd space-time phenomenon.

Re-read Vol07 and focus on the part that Tohka remembers Shidou. They are the same person but in a heavily altered state of mind. As for the devil they wield you must also remember that THAT part is something they took from outside of them (And something Wescott is way too inerested in..) as Tohka once again remembered in Vol10 that taking that external power had very hard consequences on everything so she chose "to remain herself" at that time.

>>113501961
>>But why bother going through such trouble to begin with? Where is the motivation?

Is is theorized that Ratatoskr main boss fell in love with an Spirit so he is now out to save them. Shidou's power to seal them is part of his plan to do it.

>>
>>113501722
I think they were just worried about characters being liked/hated so much. Obviously it doesn't matter to most though (see: Kurumi) but you can tell they try to keep spirits away from doing anything... wrong or bad. for example, Kurumi in her volume was shown killing people who did bad things, rather than showing her slaughter innocent people. Because obviously the second would generate a more negative response from the fans. They don't want you to dislike anyone. Though it seems this does not apply to Origami for some reason
>>
>>113502188
So Woodman probably fell in love with Phantom. Westcott probably did as well but in a twisted "oh, what a beautiful, exalted being! Such strength! Such power!" And the Mathers sisters were in love with their respective men as well but were secretary-zoned. Then Westcott did something stupid and pissed Phantom off which caused the three of them to go their separate ways.

Something like that?

That's the worst part of the theory. The Spirit he may have fallen in love is very probable to have died in the hands of DEM's experimentation at the time Woodman (and Ellen's sister) was still with the company. After seeing the error of their ways and no longer begin able to see the Spirits as objects(*) he took the closest members of his team with him and left DEM for good.

(*)Just remember how Ellen treated Natsumi...

Kinda but with the change that the Spirit in question is not [Phantom] as she is more likely a third force in this. Woodman's way in his talk with Tohka makes me think that the Spirit he fell in love with is no more yet he is carrying on to save the others.

Isn't it possible Woodman simply doesn't realize that Phantom is the spirit that he fell in love with? Moreoever, Phantom definitely seems to err on the side of the spirits in her own way. In fact wouldn't it be likely that the sephira crystals in her possession she stole from DEM?

I think that [Phantom] did indeed flee with the Sephira Crystals and also that she is in fact in the side of the Spirits in her own way(*) but I think that Woodman's waifu is no more.

(*)[Phantom] 's way may sound good in theory but it too may be twisted but that's for Shidou to discover and maybe correct a bit.

Precisely. Just look at Tohka's popularity and haw many covers/votes she has in proportion to DaL. Would have she been liked this much had the story advanced as intended? Maybe or maybe not but the fact remains that DaL become much more acceptable to the general audiences because of the lighter tone it took.

Kurumi's popularity is an odd case (at least for me) in that her design is certainly a hit well outside DaL sphere of influence despite her relatively small screen/LN time in the spotlight. Maybe hers is a case that could have worked with the original story as a difficult character to 'save' from her own twisted sense of justice. her dealings with Shidou under this setting could have been even more stark but oddly familiar as I think one of the reasons the Author uses her so little is to shield her away from Editor-san's influence.

I've been interested in reading the LN. Is it worth investing my time on them?

Depends.
Are you turned on by mentally deficient girls?

IMHO it is. As you can see in this thread we have some 'complains' that the story is much more lighter than how the Author originally intended but that's only nitpicking from us.

Is there a mobi/epub for volume 7 somewhere?
>>
>>113520758
Probably, though if you want English, Volume 7 was never translated fully.

>>113520876
Ah, missed that.
Is chapter 10 of volume 7 particularly important?

Yeah. it is sadly

>>113520939
Considering it's the resolution to the first 2 volume arc, yes. There are 2 summaries floating around and the final episode of S2 to help fill in the gap though.

FTFY

>Five years ago. The fateful day Origami's parents were killed by a spirit and when Kotori turned into a spirit. The day of despair when Tobiichi Origami who has been turned into a spirit, was crushed. In order to avoid the worst outcome, Shido now stands in Tengu City, 5 years, in the past, in order to change the world.
