[Question] - Is Noise Marie blind?

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine came with this doubt tonight after she read a fanfic that featured Noise Marie being blind but settled at the disclaimer that such issue was part of the canon.

Does anyone know if it is true?

*hugs and thanks* <3

According to latest chapters, it seems so that he is indeed blind. That's why he relies on sound ;3

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Sounds logical, even though I thought he just had small eyes, not that they were close XD

*hugs and thank you <3*

[kalorii.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is. This was revealed very recently in chapter 175 of the manga on page 8.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Ah! That's why we had no idea, we are still way back in the zombie issue ;_;

*hugs*

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Ah, I didn't know, I don't own said book (it hasn't come yet here where I live it seems). It sounds logic yet a bit cliché (the whole blind musician seems to be used and abused in anime and manga a lot).

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation <3

*hugs*

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

^_^ yeah, the fandom was quite shocked-- not at the actual revelation, because it's logical, given his appearance and abilities, but at how late and randomly inserted it was. It was just a random "Oh, that's right, you're blind so you can't see"--move on to the rest of the plot. -_-;;

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

XDDDDDDDDDDD! It seems so, even thought I thought he just had small eyes... And that he was a girl because of the name "Marie". My mind always switched it to Maria and thus made me congratulate Hoshino for inserting a not typical female character :P

*hugs* <3

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yeah, dude, what's up with Theodore's team? Kanda, Marie and Daisya. If those aren't the girliest names ever, I don't know what is. (And I include Kanda, because unless you're Japanese and know that's a last name, it's not hard to think it's a girl name because of the 'a's) ^_^

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

English is not my native language so, sometimes, I make many mistakes while reading because my mind goes back to Spanish mode without letting me know; thus, the first time Kanda appeared on screen I thought he was a she, but not a random she but Lenalee who had quickly changed into a fighting gear and changed her hairstyle.

When I found them both at the same panel I had to go backwards in the chapter to comprehend what my mind had missed. Even though I assumed afterwards they were relatives until their lastnames appeared in their profiles.

Ever since them I still think they are all relatives and Kanda is Lenalee's missing twin sisterbrother XDDDDD

Yuu is for both girls and boys thus it made me confused too :P

*hugs*

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Well, I've actually never heard of Yuu for a girl, but not like I'd know ^_^

¿O sea que hablas español? ¿De dónde eres?

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

En Behind the name (http://www.behindthename.com/name/yuu") (te manda directo al link). Tanto Yuu (Japonés) como Yu (Chino) son para ambos sexos.

Soy de Argentina <3 ¿y vos?

*abrazo fuerte*

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Me gustaría que hubiera una Yuu en algún anime. T.T

Argentina! Ustedes tienen los acentos más chéveres de todos! Me encanta el acento argentino. Yo soy de Venezuela.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Creo que hay una, no es un nombre que no haya escuchado antes (el problema ahora es saber donde lo escuche XD)

Es un gusto conocerte! Es lindo saber que hay otros fans de habla hispana de DGM <3 Aunque mi acento es un poco raro porque he vivido en muchas provincias del pais asi que es una mezcolanza de aquellas XDDDDDD Al menos lo bueno que hay en Argentina es que un pueblo se llama Allen XD

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

TE DIJE QUE NOS HABIAMOS CONOCIDO ANTES! JAJAJA.

Estaba revisando mis mensajes mas viejos en mi inbox, y reconoci esto!

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

CHAN! Sabia que nos habiamos visto tambien en el pasado, pero no me acordaba de donde y como soy asi como gallina clueca desnaturalizada y descerebrada confundo hechos con irrealidades y faileo mal (para que vea el nivel de mi fail: hoy me hicieron el favor de decirme la nota del parcial y andaba tan fundida que me la entremezcle a las pocas cuadras OTL).


<3 Le molestaria, niña bella, si la stalkeo desde la distancia como Bak con Lenalee pero sin Komurines y fotos entre medio?

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Le molestaria, niña bella, si la stalkeo desde la distancia como Bak con Lenalee pero sin Komurines y fotos entre medio?

Yo te queria hacer la misma pregunta, aunque no tan explicitamente- despues de todo, lo que Bak está pensando cuando stalkea a Lenalee será un poco diferente a lo que tu estarías pensando ~;)


mmm, y otra cosa que me encanta es leer tu español ~ el mio no tiene sabor de nada :( ni palabras interesantes como 'descerebrada' XD

Cada vez que Bak stalkea a Lenalee, se imagina tomandola de la mano (y se desmaya de la emocion XD)

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Awwww, fue asi como un encuentro fortuito seguido de mucho LULZ fandomero (no me anime en el friending meme, soy asi como muy maricona, le echo la culpa a los nervios generadores de urticaria OTL Usted tan seria y elegante, yo tan fail y con cara de labrador amarillo OTL).

<3 Mi español se compone de argentinismos y palabras inventadas, el tuyo es perfectamente correcto y da gusto leerlo <3

Ahora te añado, hermosa <333

*super abrazos*

Re: Cada vez que Bak stalkea a Lenalee, se imagina tomandola de la mano (y se desmaya de la emocion

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

A mi también me dio pereza hacer el friending meme más reciente -_-;; tengo demasiadas personas nuevas en mi flist y me voy a tardar en diferenciarlas, jaja.

Pero es tan divertido de leer tus argentinismos! Hablando del cual, ustedes usan 'usted' envez de 'tu', o lo haces solo por deferencia? Porque si es así, puedes usar 'tu' conmigo. ^_^

Re: Cada vez que Bak stalkea a Lenalee, se imagina tomandola de la mano (y se desmaya de la emocion

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Nah, hablo de vos y de usted en plena joda no mas, hago mezcolanza de regionalismos y hasta de palabras que no son las mias, se me pegan re facilmente (salvo la porteña, nunca se pudo pegar).

Generalmente uso el usted para la joda, para cuando va a saltar algun pseudo dialogo telenovelero con nombre largirucho acompañado ;)

Si queres tratame de vos o de tu o de usted, como te sea mejor, y me conocen como riot o como Cony, el que te guste mas ;)

*abrazos y cariños*

Re: Cada vez que Bak stalkea a Lenalee, se imagina tomandola de la mano (y se desmaya de la emocion

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Jaja, mi familia es de Maracaibo, y utilizan 'vos' todo el tiempo, pero a mi solo se me pega si estoy alrededor de ellos XD

Intentaré llamarte Cony, pero se me escapan los nombres tan fácilmente que talvez me quede llamandote riot ^_^

<3 *igual*

[mrpanadabear.livejournal.com]

I thought it was assumed, but the readers didn't quite catch on.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

It didn't strike me as that but as someone who had very small eyes or ink like eyes, but it sounds logical <3

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

I think most people wondered about his eyes, but because it wasn't actually said outright, then, you know, we're not going to assume something that radical just because it looks like it might be true. Because if it was, surely it'd be mentioned somewhere early, no? XD

[lacus-yamato.livejournal.com]

o.0....
OMG!!
And here I am...thinking that he was nt..
I tot that was just a plain rumor..
so it is true than. Tat he was blind

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Thankfully we know now :3! <3

[honou-no-izumi.livejournal.com]

It was barely hinted.... and confirmed in the latest chapters, so yes he is blind.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

*your icon = win*

I thought he just had small eyes only and loooooooooooooooooooooooooong, loooooooooong time ago I also thought he was a girl (the Marie thing always switched to Maria), but it's nice to know how things really are <3 *her coming soon Marie X Miranda drabbles will be accurate now*

*hugs*

[honou-no-izumi.livejournal.com]

Hahaha
I got the idea for the icon becos of Komui and his... crack chapter -- the macho Lenalee part.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

That crack part instantly sold me this manga <3 Without Komui things wouldn't be as awesome as they are! (And I really wish to meet the person that inspired him)

[honou-no-izumi.livejournal.com]

Yeah me too... XDXDXDXDD

[fantasia0829.livejournal.com]

I always assumed he was, actually, and like the others said, it's been confirmed in the latest chapters where Kanda said that Marie can't see.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

*another icon that equals win*

For me he had ink eyes or just small eyes and had the skill to hear better than anyone. It's surprising but sounds coherent.

*hugs*

[fantasia0829.livejournal.com]

I remember when he first appeared that his eyes had no visible pupils, and that's was when I first believed him to be blind. After that... well, it was just a feeling.

[willowchan.livejournal.com]

Wow, I thought it'd been blatantly stated a long time ago. My memory must be going.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

I have only read until the zombie issue and so far I couldn't find references concerning him being blind. For mehe just had ink eyes or just small eyes only <3

*you won two universes full of free internets for your icon <3*

[willowchan.livejournal.com]

.... Zombie issue..? *stares blankly* The one with Krory? I think that's pretty recent.

Actually I wasn't even being sarcastic. ._. My memory of this series really is all jumbled.. Like, I can't remember the order of things. There's just too much delicious information to maintain.... mmmm... :d

Oh, and thank you about the icon love. :D

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

Yup,m the one with Krory tied in a bed and everyone turning into zombies because of Komui's magical potions *knows Hoshino won't make them dance Thriller, but she can dream Xd*

I didn't find you sarcastic o.o I found it as a normal comment :P

It has been sort of stated in the past. Now that I have watched carefully and zoomed the images I could see his eyes were closed and that they made too many comments of "Can you hear it/them/that/etc?" nature. Even though it made me happy to think he was a girl and an ex secret agent that could hear stuff now because of the innocence

<3 It's well-deserved. Of the few times I saw Avatar the old man always brought a smile in my face <3

*hugs*

[willowchan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love Iroh. He's just one of those awesome characters. I wish I had an uncle just like Iroh. ^^

Oh right, they did make those kind of comments. The first time that exorcist came into the picture I assumed he was blind for that reason I suppose. o.o

>>; And what was that about girl ex secret agents?

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

I tend to read and not see the pretty pictures unless it's a battle ;) :P

Well, when Marie appeared I thought he was a she because of his name. After all, if Anita's bodyguard happened to be a very strong bald woman, Kanda could have a very strong, with an odd haircut, companion.

The FBI thing came because of the whole listening thing. Listening to secret/afar conversations = FBI.

My brain is odd, my f-list has proved it several times. For starters: I think Allen is an ultra playboy in disguise and over all seme; that Leverrier is a queen in his freetime and is after our poor, poor Link; and that Lavi reads shoujo manga like Candy Candy

*hugs*

[drombanegirl.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Kanda says that he's blind. Wasn't something that I had thought about before but it makes sense.

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

I will check now as soon as I end the zombie thing <3 Makes sense, a bit of a cliché and suits him right <3

*hugs*

[mako-pretty.livejournal.com]

I thought that he was, but I am often stupid and confused, so do not take my word for it. *is made of fail*

[riot-of-flowers.livejournal.com]

He is sweetheart <3 He is <3
