........You THINK?

Mmm? Looks quite interesting. If I am not mistaken, here comes another addition to the very first highly mind boggling media I have ever encountered. The One Sin Event again? Well, this brings quite a lot of nostalgia since I read have .hack//AI Buster 1 several years ago which makes it my very first novel that I have completed reading. Oh boy, here we go. It was accessed by entering this :Ω Sickened Imprisoned Fallen Angel: as the keyword. There, Alberio and Hokuto were watching a great battle from afar where was this hideous spectrum dragon that was battled ferociously by two legendary players who were known as The Descendant of Fianna, which is composed of the two of the three Azure Knights (R1 version) named Balmung of the Azure Sky and Orca of the Azure Sea who in turn were members of the legendary dothackers. The party that solved the mysteries and saved The World. It was extremely powerful but then, Balmung and Orca gave it a very long combo hit and that ended with Balmung delivering the final blow. Then a few moments later, there was this angel, frozen with chains who got himself released from his prison and as a reward, the one who defeated the dragon is given a wonderful piece of gift, the wings. From then on, Balmung receives wings which makes him distinct and unique.

BTW, I think I have returned.

Orca wasn't in the .hackers I don't think. He was in a coma the entire time that was going on. And before that he wasn't part of the main story line.

He wasn't IN the main storyline, but a catalyst for it. If Orca hadn't encountered Skeith, Kite's journey wouldn't have started. Other than being a Descendant of Fianna, Orca holds at least a significant place holder in the .hack series (at least after .hack//SIGN, which is when the games start).

And, despite not being in the main story the entire time, he is also considered a .hacker.

I don't consider him one as he didn't do anything to help them solve the problems.

He is listed as one of them. But whatever works for you, KR

To be fair, though, they consider anyone in Kite's party a .hacker, include the optional characters that have no impact whatsoever on the plot. Hell, they include Kazu, and he just showed up as some ghost/spirit/anime bullshit for all of five seconds. Methinks .hackers was just a fancy name way to say the good guys.

That, or it's sort of an Oprah deal. "You're a .hacker, and you're a .hacker, and YOU'RE a .hacker. EVERYBODY'S A .HACKER!"

yeah this.

Well, for comatose cases like Orca and Kazu, I think it's because they were the pivotal points for Kite and Black Rose, essential members of the .hackers. They were the comatose victims that lead the two to find what's going on with The World and solve its mysteries, except Kazu was more of an NPC of the GAME game (not The World) than a party member.

 

[KingRanger]

I think I know why. At the end, during the final battle remember when Kite summoned all the powers and spirits of the people? They were all there and they all helped save the world.

Kite is God. loljk

But probably. It was probably through Kite's constant intervention against Morganna and Helba's works that helped the comatose players, including Orca, Sora, and Kazu, return. Though Helba actually summoned Kite's other members that he doesn't take with him to Corbenik's battle.
