The 2 yellow marks on her shoulder

Dark Slayer · Aug 31 2007, 11:39 PM

I was reading the about the characters in this site(not in the forums) and it says that Lightning's social status can be determinded by the 2 yellow marks on her left shoulder. Does anyone have any idea about it?

Seriously..I never heard about this

Well..I just thought it was her armor/clothes

In an interview (can't remember when), Toriyama said that it displayed her rank. I think from that we can guess she was involved with some sort of military prior to her losing her memory.

Rank? like a soldier you mean? that could be

well..I never hard about it all I knew is that she was in some kind of army

I had no idea what is going on. Can we picture these 2 marks?

I think it's just part os her outfit.

Cloud Strife · Sep 02 2007, 06:32 AM

I am pretty sure it is something..

Alphonse · Sep 02 2007, 06:33 AM

Eh. Don't think so. If it was what then?

007vader · Sep 02 2007, 09:08 AM

^ Didn't you read what Kitmitsu said?

I don't remember hearing about her losing her memory. When did you all hear that?

I really hope the team read Brave New World before writing the story. If theres anything about enforced social status in Cocoon I think I'll wet myself with excitement.

Ba-da.

and they announced that she was suffering memory loss back at Jump Festa. That's why she calls herself Lightning, because she can't remember her real name.

She could of called herself something better than a bolt of electricity that comes ot of the sky

*squares fault*

As far as I know in most countries 2 lines is a pretty low military rank, I wonder why they chose that instead of a star or something

I thought they said she knows her name but won't tell you until later. It was more of a personal choice.

Flint · Sep 02 2007, 06:28 PM

I really hope this isn't another memory loss scenario, because that is one of the biggest RPG cliches ever. I kind of like the idea that it's her choice to hide her true name, because that would at least be a bit more original.

007vader · Sep 03 2007, 03:27 AM

I thought she was keeping it a secret too. I just don't remember the memory part.

Dream Machine · Sep 03 2007, 03:18 PM

I heard that shes just hiding it too I think.

I'd like that she did lose her memory, but before the narrative begins learnt everything about her old life but simply doesn't care. No loyalty to Coccoon and all that.

masamune · Sep 04 2007, 01:29 PM

Of course its just a part of her outfit, but a part that is integrated with the character past, we can call this "design loyalty"... someone could do a research and see if these marks means something in real world military maybe
