Sekirei of a dead Ashikabi

Just like Akitsu, the ice sekirei, it is most probable that No.1 Miya and No.9(?) Karasuba are "disused" sekirei as well. The fact that they use their hair bangs to hide their forehead might not be strong enough evidence but the "crimson mark" is faintly seen on their individual foreheads during certain circumstances, I for one noticed it on Miya's forehead when she gets serious after Minato's company gets ambushed by the Disciplinary Squad on the railway bridge, just after Matsu informs her of the situation. The fact that her husband (and most probably her ashikabi is dead) also might be enough to consider her a renegade who is out of the game, since she has become a "disused" player...just like Karasuba, who also is not a participant in the Sekirei Plan. Maybe things will be made more clear in the coming chapters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wasted(again) (talk • contribs) 05:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I for one haven't seen the mark on Miya's head but Karasuba isn't a disused product as she has an Ashikabi, Natsuo I believe and isn't Karasube number 4? Dekir (talk) 04:49, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The author has not used his manga to directly present self-determination and metaphysical issues as Masamune Shirow has with Ghost in the Shell. For now, some people use "product" as a synonym for Sekirei, but it is wholly possible that they are not product, but adaptable humanoids of high potential traveling in stasis when their ship failed and remained on the planet. The author has made the series into a happy harem style of anime, but it seems clear so far that the sekirei have mostly been downgraded to not use all of their potential. The sekirei who are released become dependant upon humans who can imprint them. That one concept is what turns the sekirei into a "product". The author has not yet indicated that sekirei's malleability resulted in their downfall when humans chose to awaken them after tuning as product. Therefore, it would be appropriate for the article to not use the word "product" because that would indicate a bias when the author has not yet indicated various aspects of self-determination or slavery of a species. Karasuba seems to be the one with the most self-determination ability and considers the humans as a species to be inferior to the sekirei and that earth doesn't need humans.AnimeJanai (talk) 19:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Miya's status

In the article, it says that it's not clear if Miya Asami has been winged. However, in chapter 56 or 57 (I forget which) it's announced that 'the last unwinged sekirei resides in the northern section', referring to Homura. This would mean that Miya is, clearly winged.

Well, she has to be winged; she is one of the most powerful sekirei (if not the most)- in other words her body wouldnt be able to handle the load of her power (unwinged cant unlock most of there "power") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.183.106 (talk) 19:10, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it say that miya took down helicopters and tanks in the manga? I only saw her take down a warship. Also I think miya is winged, but her husband is dead so I don't know if it still countsDekir (talk) 04:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Info on MBI

We oughta put some info on the MBI since in the anime, they gave the meaning of MBI and the origin of Sekireis. Ominae (talk) 22:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected the full term, Mitobioinformatics here. That's all I can think of at the moment, unless you can think of other key terms. Redirecting names of officials in the organization would also be useful. Tyciol (talk) 16:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sekirei sequel

Well judging by the end of episode 12 it's certainly set up for a sequel. It hasn't even been a year since it ended so there's plenty of time for that to come out, perhaps covering another 50 chapters or so? It would be good to find any news articles related to this and post them here. Tyciol (talk) 19:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, the manga seems to be paused, and without new manga chapters, there is nothing to base the anime on :( --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 08:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On August 9th the second season was confirmed, by ANN. The news can be found here = http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-08-09/new-sekirei-pure-engagement-tv-anime-green-lit —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaotc Blues (talk • contribs) 20:35, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, I take it that we can expect another 12 episodes. I say 12 episodes for two reasons. One is that the first 12 episodes took up the first 49 chapters of the manga. And currently (August 18, 2009), there are only 87 chapters (maybe 95, I'm not sure), which obviously is not enough for 26 or 52 more episodes. The second reason is the author: "Sekirei manga creator Sakurako Gokurakuin will launch her Returners ~Kigensha~ manga series this winter." http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-08-18/sekirei-gokurakuin-to-launch-returners-manga-series—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tosh9i (talk • contribs)

Character List

Should we add a list of the Sekirei, and their status (eliminated/active), description, or notable powers? Or does that belong in a related article? Crimsonsplat (talk) 03:29, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is List of Sekirei characters not enough? Alex Spade (talk) 06:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Should we include The PS2 game-only Sekireis with their Ashikabi? Ominae (talk) 09:10, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think, yes. Alex Spade (talk) 12:08, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's done but I'll need more help since I don't have the game with me right now. :D Ominae (talk) 18:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
