<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

{{MakotosMWO}}
−
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 &#39;love interest&#39;
 
−
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>
 
−
<p>I think my major gripe with this version is that the writers were determined
 
−
to remove all his flaws. He becomes the virtual &#39;knight in shining armor.&#39; They
 
−
even add a scene where he shows concern for how his parents must be feeling about
 
−
his disappearing, thus showing him to be a good son. Look at the final scene in
 
−
the Wanderers for the final proof of his flawlessness. He had wings, a good symbol
 
−
for his &#39;angelic&#39; (i.e. perfect) nature. </p>
 
−
<p>While it&#39;s good to have a clearly defined hero, having a perfect one is annoying.
 
−
It makes him almost seem self-righteous (which is a trait that bugs the hell out
 
−
of me in real life.) </p>
 
−
<p>Finally, I find his relationship with Rune to be very unsatisfying. It&#39;s very
 
−
one-dimensional with Makoto playing the good-guy hero and Rune playing the damsel
 
−
in distress. Rune is in trouble, Makoto rescues. Repeat ad nauseum. At least with
 
−
Makoto and Ifurita in the OVA, there were so many emotional barriers that had to
 
−
be overcome for them to be together and when they finally do, you are a satisfied
 
−
viewer. </p>
 
−
<p></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&#39;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>

Latest revision as of 18:51, 17 November 2009

Novels and Novelizations. There are lots of those for El-Hazard. Know what? None of them have been translated into English. Oh well, thems the breaks I guess. I can at least post what little information I did manage to gather about these books.

One clarification before I list these though. A novelization is a written work based on another original source, such as a TV show or movie. A novel is an original story.
