** The "I'm a human" disguise the wolves have is not like a full-transformation or a hologram. Instead, it's like a cloak of indifference. If you aren't looking for wolves, you'll see humans. Even if you are looking for wolves, if you don't really know what the wolves look like or if you get distracted, the human cloak comes up. Any human who bumped or poked a wolf-human would maybe get a flicker, but then would be indifferent about it. I also figured this was why the wolves stayed away from humans as much as they could, because it got too hard to maintain the illusion.

*** It's a perception filter, not a hologram. So if you were to try and poke a wolf in the shoulder, you would lean down and poke it, you just won't realise you leaned down and think you were poking something at head height. Likewise if you aim at a wolf you might think you're going for a five foot head shot but really you're aiming closer to ground level.

** Well, since she is stuck with tubes and probably hooked to up to some other form of life support system, maybe she's kept naked for convenience, kind of like how, in hospitals, people are in something loose fitting or in their underwear.

*** Yeah, but in the first episode, Tsume was shown driving a vehicle which should've have impossible for him as a wolf (no fingers, opposable thumbs). We know he was still a wolf at that time, so how do you explain that?

*** What about the nobles? Specifically, Darcia and Hamona. I mean yeah, in the end Darcia wasn't great, but considering all the shit he went through and the fact that if the good characters get resurrected than she should be included amongst them, yeah. I feel like after everything in the series, they should finally be able to live happily ever in the new world or whatever together.

** The whole series up to this point had a sense of decay and death about. It was always pretty clear that the world as a whole was dying from the first few episodes, and that it was really just limping along. Jagura's attempt to open/create Paradise was what finally finished the job, and the hours afterwords were that world's final, desperate gasp. It all just started falling apart.

* Why didn't Cheza poisoned Darcia sooner? Maybe it doesn't really matter, when the Kiba and the rest of wolves reincarnated in the new world, but seriously - at that time she could save Tsume, Blue and Hige.

** Or maybe they liked the white wolf motif for its mystical qualities, but they didn't want to give Kiba white hair because then he might have to deal with the stigma of being a WhiteHairBlackHeart

** I'd like to think that if the wolves got resurrected so did everybody else, and that Blue, Hubb, Cher, Quent, the old trailer couple, the fallen wolfpack, the Indians, the bookstore owner and his cat, the Hanabito, and all the other good (or at least not-totally-evil) guys, are around somewhere - there just wasn't time to show them.

Added DiffLines:

***Remember, Blue is a wolfdog and, since it's mentioned that only wolves can find and unlock Paradise, that rule probably carries over to reincarnating


Added DiffLines:

**Cheza told Darcia that Paradise would not accept him and no word on Hamona, though, her "Paradise Sickness" probably implies she was already in Paradise.

Is the planet really Earth? It seems to me that it's just some alien planet that the Nobles tried to terraform, and that Cheza is some kind of reset key. The mural in the temple\palace seems to indicate that the Nobles arrived in spaceships and that some of their equipment malfunctioned which is why the world is decaying.

*** When Tsume was trying to save that kid from falling, he was shown to be reaching for him with a hand, but in the next shot he's biting the kid on the shoulder to pull him up, which understandably freaks the kid out. He saw Tsume's real form because obviously he'd have to feel the bite and Tsume doesn't have real hands to grab things. Later the investigators see the bite marks in his shoulder. And when Hige and Kiba are walking, a dog is barking at them, clearly seeing them as they are, while their shadows on the wall are those of wolves. It's also hard for the wolves to maintain their illusion if they're in a state of distress, like Toboe was when he accidentally killed the bird.

** Clearly, the Nobles have found a way to replicate the [[{{Darkseid}} Omega Effect]]. I'd go into more detail, but my brain just went into {{WMG}} mode.

** Her ''blood'' is poison, and the main way everyone found that out was when [[spoiler: Wolf-Darcia started hauling her around in his jaws.]] I don't think the wolves (and especially Kiba) would have intentionally let Cheza get hurt just to gain an advantage.

** I think that works based on a PerceptionFilter, if not a WeirdnessCensor, where those that don't notice see them as humans, whereas some see them as wolves, which kind of explains why the camera tends to switch between showing them as wolves and then showing them humans, so the viewer could see.
