Death's Hourglass: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' Yu Kanda possesses a similar glassed flower. Nothing is known about it, not how he acquired it, if it's reverseable, what happens when all the petals have fallen nor who's time it even counts. It's almost [[Fanon]] though, that it counts down Kanda's lifetime and belongs to a curse.

** Recent chapters show that Kanda has had hallucinations of lotus flowers for many years, and that they have been a red herring all along. The thing that actually shows his lifespan appears to be a tattoo.

** In another story, Akane's body is reduced to a living, but motionless doll by the power of the Kinjakan. If they can't restore her with pure Jusenkyo water before her eyes close completely, [[Final Death|she dies]]. {{spoiler|They do, but Ranma was ''just barely'' able to get the water up to her through equal amounts of skill and miracles}}.

* In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', there is a clock tower in Athena's Sanctuary that measures time with bright blue flames blazing over the symbols of the Twelve Zodiac Houses. It is ignited twice. The first time is when the [[Five-Man Band|Bronze Saints]] invade the Sanctuary and must save Athena's life before all the flames wink out. The second time is when the Gold and Bronze Saints must ''[[You Shall Not Pass|prevent]]'' Hades' Specters [[Hold the Line|from invading]] Athena's Sanctuary for twelve hours, which is the maximum time on Earth allotted to the [[Back From the Dead|newly-risen dead]].
