FAKKU's official Zone of the Enders news and discussion thread Zone of the Enders (ã‚¾ãƒ¼ãƒ³ã€€ã‚ªãƒ–ã€€ã‚¨ãƒ³ãƒ€ãƒ¼ã‚º ZÅ�n obu EndÄ�zu?), commonly referred to by the acronym Z.O.E., is a franchise created by Hideo Kojima, owned by the video game publisher Konami, and expanded on by the animation studio Sunrise. The original Zone of the Enders is a game created for the launch of the Sony PlayStation 2, which has so far spawned a single PS2 sequel, a Game Boy Advance side-story, an OVA movie and a twenty-six episode television anime series. The Zone of the Enders series is set in the late 22nd century. Humankind has colonized Mars, and space colonies are also set up in orbit around Jupiter. Fueling this expansion are two scientific advances: the development of the Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle, or LEV, a mecha used for labor and military use, and the discovery of Metatron, a high-energy ore found on Callisto. However, those in power on Earth begin to take a dim view of the colonists of Mars and Jupiter, calling them "Enders", and imposing harsh and exploitive laws and taxes against them. Eventually, different groups on Mars begin to rise up in opposition to Earth. A new weapon given to these rebels is the Orbital Frame, a mecha making extensive use of Metatron-based technology, These Orbital Frames come to shape the destiny of Earth and its colonies, for both good and evil. GAMES: Zone of the Enders, the first game in the series, details the story of a boy named Leo Stenbuck, a colonist from Jupiter who accidentally finds himself piloting the Orbital Frame Jehuty. In Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (known as Anubis: Zone of the Enders in Japan), a new pilot, Dingo Egret, finds Jehuty on the Moon of Callisto two years after the events of the first game and travels to the superweapon Aumaan in order to defeat Colonel Nohman of the BAHRAM army, who pilots Jehuty's sister craft, Anubis. Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars (known as Zone of the Enders: 2173 Testament in Japan) is a side-story released for the Game Boy Advance, about a conspiracy involving the construction of Orbital Frames for Earth. The protagonist, a young man named Cage Midwell, finds himself getting involved with a resistance organization known as BIS. Hideo Kojima has promised that he would produce the next game in the series, Zone of the Enders 3, at an unspecified point in the future. ANIME: Zone of the Enders: 2167 IDOLO is a prequel for the entire series, telling the story of Radium Lavans, the pilot of the first Orbital Frame. Zone of the Enders: Dolores,i is a followup to IDOLO, following the exploits of James Links, an alcoholic trucker, who, while trying to reunite with his estranged family, discovers an Orbital Frame hidden in one of his shipping containers. The frame, calling itself Dolores, seems to consider James her uncle. [size=10]All of above information was borrowed from Wikipedia.[/h] [color=blue]JEHUTY[/color] Orbital Frame Jehuty is the most prominent Orbital Frame in the series. Jehuty is initially armed with a blade, arm cannon, shield and homing laser, as well as possessing burst and grab abilities. Originally designated to be piloted by Alan, a pilot of the civilian transport vessel “Atlantis”, Jehuty is eventually piloted by Leo Stenbuck after he takes refuge from the BAHRAM raid in a frame hangar. BAHRAM seeks to re-obtain Jehuty for use in the Aumaan project. After the events of Zone of the Enders, Leo, knowing ADA's purpose and what is destined to happen to Jehuty if it reaches Mars, hides Jehuty away on Callisto, where it is later discovered by Dingo Egret. The name “Jehuty” is derived from that of the Egyptian god “Djehuty”. Piloted by Leo Stenbuck, and Dingo Egret. Appearances: ZOE, ZOE2, mentioned in Dolores i Orbital Frame JEHUTY [color=brown]ANUBIS[/color] Orbital Frame Anubis is the twin frame of Jehuty. Despite this, Anubis’ development is much further advanced than Jehuty, running on what is effectively optimum system capabilities; Anubis is armed with a battle staff, arm cannon, shield and homing laser as well as possessing burst and grab abilities. Additionally, the Anubis frame is armed with “Zero Shift”. This module allows the frame to cover vast distances in an instant via space compression. Seized during transportation during the Antilia raid, Anubis is now Colonel Nohman’s frame of choice. Nohman himself has described Anubis as “the perfect frame” and it plays a central role as part of project Aumaan. The name “Anubis” is the same as that of the Egyptian god. Piloted by Ridley Hardiman, AKA 'Nohman' Appearances: ZOE, ZOE2, Dolores i Orbital Frame ANUBIS [color=olive]ARDJET[/color] The frame has a very tough exterior armor and is primarily armed with WISP, small remote drones which can be used as missiles or to grab a target. Aside from WISP, Ardjet also possesses the ability to cocoon itself in a shield of armor and charge a very powerful energy beam. Piloted by Ken Marinaris. Appearances: ZOE2 Orbital Frame ARDJET

id say the cockpit argument is moot. All manned OFs have cockpits and that doesnt mean they are all modelled to be "male"

ardjet has boobs >>; unless you are calling it a shemale.

Lets not forget dolores, it has a cock-cockpit, it doesnt have boobs, which would say that it should be male, but the orbital frame is represented as a woman in the pilot's mind.

so yea =p im not sure if jehuty is male or female though. Since it doesnt have "mecha tits" id say jehuty is modelled to be male, but ADA being tied to jehuty and technically, the AI can be counted as the orbital frame itself, id say jehuty might most probably be female =P flat chested.

I just had a dream where Jehuty and Anubis were living together as brother(Anubis) and sister(Jehuty).

A bunch of bullies (Cyclops') were picking on a nerd (Raptor), and Jehuty tried to save him, but she was kidnapped and held for a ransom. The big-brother Anubis saved the day by jumping thru a window and kicking ass.

It was like a drama anime. Romances included Jehuty and Vic Viper, Anubis and Ardjet, and Neith and Nephtis having lesbian incest sex.

I woke up very confused. Maybe I love ZOE a little too much.

One time I thought I had Mono for an entire year- turned out I was just really bored.
I hear threads are randomly disappearing. o_o I just saved the entire Ender's Base layout in Notepad just incase.

Anyway, Let's get back on-topic here.
