== The entire thing takes place [[Planet of the Apes Ending|on a far-future Earth]] and not on a colony world; the moon is Earth's moon, the Administar is positioned exactly where the old HiME star was, the Otome are a result of continued HiME research within SEARRS (which originally produced Alyssa), the characters are reincarnations of their ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' counterparts, and Miyu is the same android in both series. ==

Well, to be honest... this theory probably isn't crazy enough for this page. There are people who ''believe'' that. Some of this is true in the manga, though that is an [[Alternate Universe]] from the anime. Note, however, that Miyu's acronym is slightly different in the Otome version.

* I'd say this is more accurate than a lot of people are willing to admit. Miyu, at one point, IIRC goes to Fuuka Academy which is underwater. It... doesn't get much more specific than that. Why would they uproot the school to another planet and hide it underwater? When just as easily, in the world-ending conflicts that produced the current civilization, the island the school was on could have been covered by rising seas.

* Alternatively, they need to keep the public convinced that there's an easy way to keep the Otomes in check - a way that, if used, would make their approval rating plummet. A way that prevents the Otome from falling into various relationship pitfalls, helps keep their numbers down, and provides a sick sort of motivation for not getting defeated nor allowing themselves to fall into enemy hands.

* The vulnerability thing is an [[Informed Attribute]] that, for all the fuss, is never triggered in the series. An Otome who discovered the truth would either keep it secret or be silenced, presumably by Garderobe.

* It makes so much sense. You have to wonder if the show's writers had the same thing in mind -- after all, they could easily have ''shown'' us a depowered Otome, but they never did.

** But they did. Arika's mom right at the start. She had lost her Otome powers and thus couldn't win against Rad.

*** There is another good reason for this conspiracy. As events in the show have proved, an Otome who has borne a child can be used as a new Shinso to create a whole new line of Otome independent of Garderobe. Even if the nanomachines were still fine, the original designers of the Otome System probably built in a safety device in the [[GE Ms]] to prevent entire clans or worse, nations, of Otome springing up each with hundreds of families centred around a Shinso who acts as their limiter much like Fumi does.
