The Brotherhood of Kanu, Chouhi and the Sisters

A young woman with long black hair was been approached by a group of bandits. She introduced herself as Kanu, and declared that she will eliminate every bandits who bring harm to the residents.

After that, she ran into an old lady who told her that the flowers are for the dead spirits that were killed by the bandits after their land were taken away. Kanu gave respect to the dead before she continued her journey. As she had arrived to a village, she saw a group of children who called themselves as the Rin Rin bandits chasing away the chickens around the village. Kanu asked the owner of a restaurant about the children. She told Kanu that they love to mess around with animals. She’s also said that they drew a face of a village chief on the walls of his own residence a few days ago. Kanu assumed that her parents were away which is why Rin Rin could do whatever she wants. But, it turned out that her parents were deceased because of the bandits.

Meanwhile, Rin Rin and her friends were eating in her house. One of them sighed that the drawing on the chief’s walls were cleaned. Rin Rin cheered her up by telling them that nex time they’ll draw something bigger. All the children went home during the sunset. Rin Rin was quite upset but waved them goodbye. At night, Kanu had a dream when she was young and her village was in the middle of the war which caused her loss of her family.

The next morning, Kanu helped the owner of the restaurant to do some chores since she gave her a place to sleep. The chief and his assistant was in front of the gate and ordered the guards to arrest Rin Rin for what she had done. Kanu stepped out from the crowd and introduced herself. She’s trying to negotiate to leave Rin Rin to her care. Since she’s the legendary black-haired bandit hunter, they’ve agreed to it.

On her journey to Rin Rin’s place, she was attacked by Rin Rin’s friends. They set her a trap which she fell for it and to her it was a major disgraced. They kept making fun of her as being old, ugly and stupid. That made her so mad that the children ran away.

She’s finally arrived in front of Rin Rin’s place and Rin Rin was waiting for her. She did not allowed anyone to call her “Rin Rin” except her friends so she addressed herself as Chouhi. They had a battle which continued till night time. Kanu told her that she lost her family when she was young too and she thought that Rin Rin’s strength was a waste if she’s continues to act like a bandit. She invited her to be like her and change the world.For some reason, she started to cry and admitted that she was defeated.

Kanu took a relaxing bath and thought of what Rin Rin said after she was defeated. Rin Rin said that Kanu can do anything to her. Kanu asked her to apologize to the village and the village chief and stop all the mischievous acts. Rin Rin agreed. Rin Rin jumped into the bath tub and joined her. She stared at Kanu’s breasts and was in awe at how large the sizes are. She asked her how did they became so big. Kanu replied that if she has a big dream in her heart, her breast will grow big. Rin Rin gave Kanu her clothes. She thought that it’s too small but Kanu said it fits fine. Rin Rin told her that it’s been a long time since she slept with someone. It felt like as if she was with her mother. Kany was embarrassed since she’s not old enough to have a daughter like her. She decided to call her an older sister. At first, Kanu rejected her but she agreed because she felt sorry for her.

Rin Rin apologised to everyone in the village and both of them left for a journey to change the world. She was a bit upset that none of her group bid her farewell. But, they appeared on top of the mountain. They were all looking forward for her to come back and hope that she’ll become strong. She waved back at them with a smile.

Huntly and Smudger sneaked out from their houses and met at the abandoned mine at night. They were trying to crack the code. Finally, Huntly managed to cracked the code by using his knowledge of history and geography.

As they entered the room, they’ve found out that the room were full of chocolates, cakes, brownies etc but nobody was there except a boy called Dave and an old man. Dave told the old man that it’s alright since they’re his classmates and they can be trusted. Everyone came out from their hiding place. The old man introduced himself as the owner of the shop. He told them that they’ve been observing the boys through surveillance cameras. The boys thought it was unexpected since they didn’t notice them. The base couldn’t be found on the police’s radar because of a moisture-proofing substance that blocks radar tracking signals was spread across the wall. He told them to keep the place as a secret.

A man who claimed to have invented the code approached and gave them each a bar of chocolate as rewards for breaking the code. The boys took a bite of the chocolates. This made them remember the good old days when chocolates weren’t banned and the faces were full of smiles. The boys were overjoyed.

While they were enjoying the chocolates, the owner looked at the surveillance screen and noticed the chocolate police.

Rumor: Fullmetal Alchemist and Darker than Black sequel

Bones Studio Addresses Allegedly Leaked Document

Thoughts:

I don’t think making a sequel of Fullmetal Alchemist is a good idea. If they’ve decided to follow the manga storyline, then no. They’ve changed too much in the anime and they’ve already made the movie. In the movie, Edward was already 18 years old. What else can they add? Will they make up a new plot-line?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s one of my top anime list after CODE GEASS. But, there’s no reason to continue the series. The story is over already. Well, we’ll see what’ll happen. I’m looking forward for the sequel but I’m also against it just a bit.

I don’t mind if they produce a sequel of Darker than Black. I would like to see a continuation of Hei’s life. Or possibly a strong relationship between Hei and Yin.
