Discussion Yasratcha Lo Po Bia

[kkck]

To me it's fairly clear by now that the lo po bia family is largely meant to be antagonistic. Easily more than the other families so far given their continued relevance. I've said this before but to me they seem to be the empire's enforcers. And perhaps even specifically against non human species. The lore makes the point that anima abilities work even on humans... Which means there is a good chance that they would be uniquely suited to countering non human species. Add of course the possibility of a sufficiently powerful lo po bia unleashing shineuh on an asshole. We know shineuh can be powerful even by ranker or high ranker standards after all. if the lo po bia having been involved in the tower's history of suppressing non humans who oppose the empire... then they are basically at the story's center. By default it would make them V's natural enemy as well considering that V did care about tower inhabitants.

Edited to not include any spoilers:


Whack theory time - LPB FH can look like anyone in the LPB family line - the flashback pic we have (green hair) and/or any other newly introduced LPB we'll ever get.

He can control people dontcha know..... (taking bodies of anima-users for a drive)

And I'd like to point out 'Ren' wasn't really Ren. He was just the container. So the FH could perhaps inhabit any and all LPB descendant bodies, why not?

And if Doom could control his descendants why couldn't an even more powerful LPB FH control any and all of his descendants as minions - to include remote body control just like Ren did with that rice-ball guy?

In such a way any new LPB character could just be a new LPB member (to even include LPB HR's), but also be a shell for an even greater LPB, like the FH.

Kind of like Dracula can mind-control his children. Or Agent Smith can be any NPC in the Matrix....

There's like 5 slayers and baam heading there. If a FH doesn't show up, it's gonna be a massacre
