| |
| − | <p>Makoto is supposed to be the typical normal 17 year-old high school student.
| |
| − | But really, let's not kid ourselves. This guy is anything but typical. THIS is the
| |
| − | guy fathers want their daughters to date. Good student, good athlete, popular, well
| |
| − | respected, but with the kind of personality that makes him not seem like a threat
| |
| − | to women. Which is probably why they flock to him like Yogi Bear flocks to pickinik
| |
| − | baskets. You know the guy right? The guy you knew in high school who had it all
| |
| − | going for him. And if you weren't him, then you wanted one of two things: 1. To
| |
| − | be him. 2. To kick his ass. </p>
| |
| − | <p>Maybe that's a little harsh, but he gets away with it because he IS the story's
| |
| − | main protagonist. Without him, we don't have much of a story do we? It is his actions
| |
| − | that ultimately start a very long and complex cycle that makes up the very colorful
| |
| − | and wonderful tapestry that is the story of El-Hazard. </p>
| |
| − | <p>Makoto, is what you can call a very 'Tenchi-esque' character. That is, he is
| |
| − | the main 'hero' of the story though you wouldn't guess it from the way the story
| |
| − | begins. He is also very much like Tenchi because he has many female suitors vying
| |
| − | for his very limited attention and, much like Tenchi, he doesn't seem to grasp that
| |
| − | most of these women want a romantic commitment from him. </p>
| |
| − | <p>Makoto is the almost identical twin of the Roshtarian Princess Fatora. The only
| |
| − | obvious differences is that he is male (and all that goes along with that distinction)
| |
| − | and that his hair is shorter though very similar in the front. However, when he
| |
| − | adorns a lengthy wig and proper attire, he makes a very convincing woman. His very
| |
| − | thin, runners' physique has made his body lean and trim enough to easily pass as
| |
| − | a well built girl (and the other than hair, physically the main difference between
| |
| − | him and the princess is that Makoto's chest is washboard flat, while Fatora has
| |
| − | a rather decent bosom.) </p>
| |
| − | (...)
| |
| − | === Wanderers Timeline: ===
| |
| − | <p>This version of Makoto is actually my least favorite. All in all his personality
| |
| − | is the same with some minor differences. This version of Makoto is very much a science
| |
| − | geek. In this version of the story, it is not Ifurita who sends him and his compatriots
| |
| − | to El-Hazard, but rather a machine he built which had been sabotaged. </p>
| |
| − | <p>Gone also is his relationship with Ifurita. Instead, his main 'love interest'
| |
| − | is a much younger version of Rune Venus. However, Nanami and Shayla are still fighting
| |
| − | for his affections and still have little chance to win them. </p>
| |
| − | (...)
| |
| − | === Manga Timeline: ===
| |
| − | <p>This is a nice version of the character. The entire Manga story is as if they
| |
| − | took the OVA and TV universe and threw them in a blender. Many elements from each
| |
| − | show up. In this version his love is Ifurita (OVA version) but he also has suitor
| |
| − | in the TV version of Rune Venus (Though she realizes that she has no chance). While,
| |
| − | not as flawed as his OVA version, Makoto is not squeaky clean and self righteous
| |
| − | either. </p>
| |
| − | <p>I think the main saving grace of this version is his relationship with Ifurita,
| |
| − | which is very wonderful to watch play out. I love the fact that they kept the last
| |
| − | scene from the OVA's and actually gave it some dialogue, which seems perfect for
| |
| − | the occasion. </p>
| |
| − | <p></p>
| |
| − | === Videogame Timeline: ===
| |
| − | <p>This version is almost exactly like the TV version of the character, so not much
| |
| − | is worth adding. He is in love with TV Rune Venus. Apparently Makoto is supposed
| |
| − | to be some sort of Messiah who is prophesized to save El-Hazard in a time of dire
| |
| − | crisis. </p>
