Talk:Leina Stol in Wolf Sword Legend I
Featured characters columns[edit source]
Can't think of a better way to sort it. I'm not sure what species the former Machine Robo (Rom, Leina, Rod, Jim, Jet) are in the OVAs. While they're now organic they surely can't be humans as they're not from Earth, just human-looking. Same goes for Tide Tyrant and the other WSL villains, I think - just human-ish aliens. Open to correction if someone has better information or ideas, though. Carry-All (talk) 13:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Queries[edit source]
Not sure how to proceed with character pages for Nami Kojima, Kyoko Yoshida, Sara Yamada and Yuko Sama. While they're all obviously references to the characters from the series not sure if they can be counted as in-fiction reincarnations, where Kina and Sara died while Min and Rury were shown remaining on Cronos, meaning none of them crossed the dimensional barrier. A bit worried that straight-batting them might be misinformation and the relation to the cast at the end of RoC and what we're shown in BH/WSL appears to be random anyway, with the gateway more of a magic "does what the writers want" transition rather than a solid concept. Also I'm not entirely sure what Tide Tyrant *is* - human, alien etc. That said, there is a ton of ancillary material out there in NewType and the like which might explain things. Might be something worth leaving until the Discotek release. Carry-All (talk) 12:19, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
"Reincarnations"[edit source]
My head is spinning from this! =D
Sara/Sara Yamada, Nami/Kina and Kyoko/Sofia seem straight forward. Yuko Sano seems a lot harder to see. AnimeNewsNetwork and the Japanese Wikipedia entry for Wolf Sword Legend both credit Yumi Takada, who the same sources say voiced Min and Anna in Revenge of Cronos. Meanwhile Rury, the other candidate for inspiration for Yuko, is credited to Yūko Kobayashi, who the same sources credit as not being in WSLI but WSLII as Shuli, but the VA does have the same first name as Miss Sano. And considering the other three all have a clear reference thrown in there it seems unlikely Yuko Sano is just a random thrown in.
Getting very confused here, though fully willing to admit this might be stupidity on my part.

Admittedly, I didn't know she shared the same VA as Min until now, my bad for not catching that. I agree that this makes it a bit hard to determine who she's supposed to be. Kyoko, Sara and Nami all look enough like Sofia, Sara (natch) and Kina respectively, but Yuko doesn't bear any strong resemblance to Rury nor Min. I just assumed she was supposed to be Rury since that's what the wikipedia page and Machine Robo wikia say that's who Yuko's a reincarnation of, and I did notice that their hair is a very similar shape, but I do have to look closely to see a resemblance, as otherwise it is a bit strange that everyone looks like their respective original counterpart except for her. Rall weirdly enough looks more like her than Yuko does, as does Shuli with Min. I guess waiting on the BLU-Rays would be for the best.
