page 1 of 2

I really enjoyed this series, but can someone please explain the last scene? It was rather confusing. Most likely I am over thinking it.

i believe it was nyuu/lucy returning.

repeated thread.

there is already one of the similiar discussion.
please check before opening new threads like this.

There are actually several threads on this topic, but they're old (last post not within 4 weeks) so technically this is not a duplicate thread.

Carry on ^^

i see...
my bad. cheers!

supposed for this then, what is there to discuss then?
beside the fact that it is most definitely Lucy who came back.
the probable only difference is that she most probably came back as Lucy this time instead of Nyuu, which is gone for good, since the last scene.

what is there to know is that she will come back most probably without her horns. there is also the possibility of it being that she had lost her vectors...(some theory i heard.)

That was what I was thinking as wall Devildude, the loss of the horns was a given as they were shown being removed.

and yes i did do a search, but could not really find anything current. :)

... Where the heck did you guys see this anime? I really want to see it >.<

yes!
its gota be lucy/nyuu without horns..but which one, u decide..i think its lucy....fits the ending better i think

in the very end, we see her finally awakened and recaptured her memory
she has then professed her love for our cute and pathetic little human lead....
and then she embraced him before saying something like i will end all of this...
so i assume she is coming back as Lucy, she may still keep her vectors since her brain is still there as it is developed by a gland in her brain, so what is only difference she came back without horns.

Dunno the end i tthink Nyuu came back the silhoutte doesnt really give off anything but i rekon its nyuu O_O

That is a difficult thought. In my opinion Nyu was a mask that Lucy had subconsciously created to bury or cover the demon ates so much. I thin Lucy came to grips with what she is and what she wants. We all saw that with that awsome embrass she gave Kohta) Thus my theory is that she was able to cast away the demon (the severing of the horns) and come back as Lucy, but not an evil Lucy. However, here is a question... what is the significence of the clock? and the Music stopped. I don't understand these signs. Also... the head cheif (not the good one, but the REALLY REALLY evil guy with the horns) he said that the plans are just beginning. What plans? Are these truely demons? and has anyone seen the Elfen Lied OVA? I can't find a way to obtain that one episode special.

Elfen Lied OVA is just a story between episode 10 and episode 11 and little more of Lucy's past. Which doesn't relate to the last episode.

Lolz
i wonder if there's gonna be any OVA after the last episode
i mean the series was pretty darn good
probably not >.<

the OVA sucked but it was nice to have an extra ep, cuz i feel the story was too short and really left us all wondering about the ending, its an awsome series i love it XD
but i think nyuu was cute but too childish lucy pwned she was hot and cold at the same time XP, kouta is a lucky guy to have Yuka AND Nyuu/Lucy after him

The Clock and the music stopping was to show that a new day has come for everyone but since a happy ending would spoil the emotional range of the audience they decided to do that.

Its lucy/nyuu cause shes standing there to listen to lilium. I felt angry at Kouta.. why didnt he hurried outside to check.. he seems to not worry about her. >.< The last scene where they hugged and kissed and lucy's horn got shot was so heartbreaking! T_T

Anyone know what happens after? Like the horned guy in that containment island?

Dam I wish theres a second season for this series..

I hate animes that dont give that extra few second to see what HAPPENS!..but then again it probably was lucy..though it would have been great to have seen her and Kouta reunited eh?..man..><""!

I dont think there will be a second series but i SOO wish there was..hehe

I wanna see a sequal as well,can't wait to see what that evil director's up to.

PS:Why is he killing/experimenting on his own kind?

Well the end was just good the way it is in my opinion. (though a sequel wouldnt be bad :P)
Concerning the "lilium box" stopping and the clock suddently starting to work:
I have read some intresting theories about the box symbolizing Lucy and the clock symbolizing Nyu because of their fascination of the objects. Kouta put the seashell Nyu gave him in the box to burry the guilt of murdering her sister.


But Kouta tells Lucy that he loves Nyu and the little girl he met during his childhood. It was that little girl that expressed her fascination for the music. I think that the box symbolizes the little girl. Nyu is a child like character. She was stuck in the child state ever since she was overtaken by the diclonus. Time stopped moving for her and she despretly tried to fix that clock. at the end. Nyu is released from her diclonus, the music box stops playing, the clock starts ticking. Time goes on.
I strongly believe that when he opens that door, he will find the matured Nyu/Lucy. (the Lucy he kissed the night before)

I thought the anime was very good, I was confused about the ending, I think the series should have ran longer.

I've watched the first five episode but stopped watching it because it was sort of too sad, and really bloody. I might get back into watching once I've finished the other anime series

The piece that sjbawpn wrote above is about the best expiation that I have read and it runs about what I was thinking as well.

I think she returned there couldn't be any other explanation, i had doubts before but as sjbawpn said "about the box symbolizing Lucy and the clock symbolizing Nyu" when the music ended, we heard the clock as if it was telling us someting about Lucy/Nyu so i believe it was her.

i think it's lucy returning too, which makes me wonder: who will kouta end up with? even though yuka is his cousin, she is truly in love with him, and kouta loves both yuka and lucy...i wish they'd continue the series!
