'Visnu' points out that Gandharva could potentially be killed by Paradisial Flare before she has fully convinced him, which would be problematic since Menaka cared not only for the sacrificed humans but Gandharva himself. He offers her a new one he would give Menaka the power to convince Gandharva, although it would take lots of time. Menaka questions Visnu's actions, but he does not relent, and Menaka is left alone to weep.Īfter much time passes, ' Visnu' approaches Menaka, and takes back his original plan. According to Visnu, Gandharva 'stealing' Menaka's name was never supposed to have happened, but they would anyhow correct thing as they went, with Menaka becoming the king with her 'power of peace.' If Menaka continued in such a manner and became the first nastika to reach enlightenment, she would help the gods defeat Kali. Paradisial Flare would certainly kill Gandharva one day, so all Menaka would have to do is switch to her male form, therefore becoming the strongest and the king of the Gandharvas. Visnu then continues to say that Gandharva's actions do not matter what truly matters is Menaka's survival, and in the Universe's best possible future, she would have become the king of the Gandharva clan. Sister Angela in the One-Pound Gospel OVA.In another flashback, about ten million years after the destruction of the original human race and the creation of the new one, Menaka is seen attempting to convince Visnu that Gandharva should be spared, but Visnu is undeterred, stating that this was a good thing, and now they only had to wait for Gandharva to finally pay the price of his sins.Her seiyu would later provide the voice of:.Asuna is among the major characters whose name involves a number as her family name Kujō roughly corresponds to "Ninth Avenue" in Kyoto, and is from the old city subdivision of Heian-kyō, therefore she is representative of the number 9, although she is one of the major characters who does not live in Ikkoku-Kan.Her name Asuna means "tomorrow" (明日, asu) and "vegetables, greens" (菜, na), and her surname Kujō means "nine" (九, ku) and "article" (条, jō).
She speaks very softly too that people sometimes can hardly hear what she's talking about. A graduate, who went to an all girls school, Asuna declares that Shun is her one and only, after meeting him. She's so fond of canines that she does not even forget the names of the dogs she meets. She loves her dogs, whom she calls 'children', and takes time to play with them. Asuna was initially aware of Shun's feelings for Kyōko Otonashi, but she is not above pursuing Shun, albeit in her own fashion.Īt the end of the series, Asuna marries Shun (which now makes her Asuna Mitaka) and she gives birth to twin girls Moe Mitaka (三鷹 萌 Mitaka Moe) and Mei Mitaka (三鷹 芽衣 Mitaka Mei) while a third child is on the way.Īsuna is a beautiful young woman with dark brown hair straight neck-length that has bangs hanging on the left side and brown eyes.Īsuna is a very kind-hearted, innocent to a fault and shy woman who spends most of her time inside her home. However, after the engagement (based on a misunderstanding), a remark by Asuna that his smile seems forced (as in a photograph when he got second place at a tennis competition) makes Shun realize that she is a very empathic and compassionate woman whom he can be happy with. Shun would like to end their arranged engagement, but often finds himself unable to, either because of his fear of her dogs or his fear of hurting her feelings (mirroring the situation between Yūsaku Godai and Kozue Nanao).
In contrast to Shun, Asuna is a dog lover and she is initially attracted to Shun (approving of their engagement) because her many dogs seem to approve of him. Her feelings towards him are intensified after he accidentally 'embraces' her, only due to his fear of dogs. She graduated from a all-girls university and upon meeting Shun, she instantly decides that he is "the one" for her. Asuna's family and Shun Mitaka's uncle arrange a traditional Japanese marriage between her and Shun (against Shun's wishes).
