*** The most likely explanation is that Vilkiss didn't fully understand the nature of the threat. The two times it teleported away, it was facing Embryo's temporal cannons which is something you want to run from, not try to defend against, and the second, Ange specifically ordered it to "fly" because it was pinned down by Salia, Ersha and Chris with grappling cables.

Added DiffLines:

** There's three possible (if not certain) sources for genetic material to ensure diversity.
*** 1.) The ancient ruins on True Earth. (The Dragons had to repopulate from there, and at least one shelter is still fully functional as Tusk and Ange found out.)
*** 2.) The med bay on the Aurora. It ''was'' the base for the last remainder of pre-mana humanity. There could be samples there, provided the med bay wasn't destroyed in the final battle.
*** 3.) Embryo's lab on "True Arsenal." He had to have some material besides his own an Ange's for the sake of "starting over."


Added DiffLines:

** Misty knows about Arzenal, the predominance of "humans" don't. Emma lives in Arzenal, and she's somewhat reasonable.

** Embryo may have some godlike abilities, but he didn't create the Mana-humans from scratch: he genetically engineered them from original humanity. He had to have brought some old humans to the "false" Earth from the original as a starting point. The "Ancient Humans" are simply the last remnants of the unaltered humanity.



** The Dragon-men are stated to "assume Dragon form" and the doctor also notes that none of the women have seen an ''adult'' male human in their lives, suggesting that the men are born human but change into Dragons before adulthood. Further, the Dragon women are able to go back and forth between their Dragon and human forms, so there's no reason to assume the men cannot as well. Admittedly, this does beg the question of ''why'' only the women of the Dragon society live as humans, while ''none'' of the men do?



* They never did explain why the song is activation code to unlock the full power of a Ragna-mail now did they?

to:

** Riza's not an expert on the subject though: she's lived among the Mana-humans for a while, but that's all. Embryo (aka the guy that actually ''created'' the Mana-humans) implies that the Mana-humans are simply easy to manipulate: he told them to hate Norma, and they did without any resistance. This is one of the things he sees as being "wrong" with the Mana-humans: they're too easily manipulated.
* They never did explain why the song is activation code to unlock the full power of a Ragna-mail now did they?they?
** Embryo says something about the song being "scientific laws in musical form" (probably just refers to the tune, not the lyrics). Since he also built most of the Ragna-mails (or at least re-engineered them for combat), he may have set that song as the trigger as a kind of poetic justice: the ultimate weapon is only unleashed by invoking universal law.

** Riza said in episode 22 "The humans were programmed to instinctively despise the Norma." Unless it's just a fansub choice, that makes it sound like they're not simply taught to hate Norma, but rather their brains are wired to compel them to hate Norma beyond all reason.

* If Mana-using humans are basically hard-wired to despise Norma, what's the deal with Misty? Momoka I can understand because of her UndyingLoyalty to Ange, but considering how unbelievably irrational the hatred toward Norma is in this show, Misty doesn't have much of an excuse for her brain not being programmed to spew hatred at Norma on sight.

***That was in episode 15, prior to Ange making a move on Hilda. So, given the current status of things, it's possible with at least Hilda.

** I believe it's clear that Ange will not allow Tusk to consummate with anyone other than her. Also, considering the dragon girls are born with dragon traits, the theory that males are treated differently doesn't hold up.

** Remember, Salako stated that males transform into massive dragons out of duty. They may not be born that way, meaning: Tusk has a harem out of necessity, then g1 is a bunch of half-siblings with a common father, then the dragons (who are humans) keep a few males around in reserve.

** Considering that the same weapon that broke DRAGON shields with one shot did not even irreparably damaged the lightest-armored Para-mail, they were definitely holding back. Shooting in the direction of the Aurora seems to be part of Salia's plan to capture Ange by forcing her and her group to stay and protect the sub rather than teleporting away like last time.
