The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Earth. [[After the End]], AD. After one last Great War, the world's been turned into an endless desert, with scant handfuls of humanity eking out an existence amid the ruins of civilization. The world is ruled by an enigmatic race of mutants known as The Third. They appear elf-like, with fine features and slightly pointed ears, but their most distinguishing feature is a third Astral Eye in the middle of their foreheads. If red, this third eye allows them to interface directly with computers or other technology of the old world.

Fearing the world could be thrown into even more dire straits should any of the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] from the Great War get loose, The Third place strict control on what technology the rest of the world can have. Violating the Technos Taboo can result in anything from being dragged off and interrogated, all the way up to execution by the autonomous enforcer known as the Blue Breaker. Even so, there are still people working on and trading in forbidden tech, as breaking the rules and making scientific advances are two of the things humans just do.

 

 

The two of them were just going about their lives, doing odd jobs for money and supplies, when one day they encountered an odd young man alone in the middle of the desert. His name is Iks, and meeting him was just the start of an adventure where Honoka's past and present would eventually collide.

 

----

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Admittedly, Honoka's sword is enhanced by her ki, but it still cuts through all sorts of armor with impunity.

* [[Action Girl]]: Honoka and Paife.

* [[After the End]]

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: You'd think a pair of town punks in the middle of the series would end up being [[Those Two Guys]], wouldn't you?

* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class 1 bordering on 2, with a bit of Class 4 thrown in for good measure.

* [[City of Adventure]]: Emporium, Honoka's home city.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Honoka from Millie's point of view.

* [[Creepy Child]]: Gravestone

* [[Desert Punk]]

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: This is yet another series that runs on [[Rule of Cool]]...

* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Iks is an observer, and in episode 24 we get to meet just who he's observing for. {{spoiler|Much like Iks, he's not exactly from around here either.}}

* [[Dystopian Edict]]: The Technos Taboo

* [[Everything Is Online]]: Would explain how easily various machines were hacked at the end of the anime, up to and including the frickin' [[Kill Sat|Wormhole]] [[Wave Motion Gun|Driver]].

* [[Healing Hands]]: {{spoiler|Iks}}

* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: Kevin and Leon.

* [[Human Aliens]]

* [[Humongous Mecha]]

** Gravestone also has a rather unpleasant ring to it... And unlike Honoka he is not against taking lives

* [[Not with the Safety On, You Won't]]: "You're not very convincing with an empty gun."

* [[Oh Crap]]: Face it, if you saw {{spoiler|Honoka wipe out your entire army with a single sword stroke}} like she did in episode 24, you'd have this reaction too.

* [[One-Dimensional Thinking]]: Averted with the sand dragon escape in episode 8.

* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Bogie and Meilin, though the latter is an android.

* [[Science Is Bad]]: Not completely this trope but TOO MUCH of it is. It is why [[Dystopian Edict|the Technos Taboo]] exists.

* [[Shower Scene]]

* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: Want to see {{spoiler|[[Humongous Mecha]] raining from the sky? Watch episode 24}}.

* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]: {{spoiler|Iks}}

* [[Tank Goodness]]: The sand tank

* [[Third Eye]]: All of the Third ({{spoiler|including Honoka}})

* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: Bogie kicks Iks and Paife out of the tank when facing down an anti-tank chopper.
