These sections were put on the page, I moved them here instead. The "Mistakes" section probably needs to be taken out as well. However, it does bring up the point that perhaps a characters section is needed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by SailorSpork (talk • contribs)

Yeah, thank you. This content is entirely unnecessary for this article, but a characters section is necessary (I'd work on one, but I haven't had the chance to watch anything beyond episode 2 in Japanese).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

  • Whenever Cutie Honey has her sword out and says Honey Flash!, whatever the sword touches, disappears
  • Yuki defeated Wataru in episode 8. Miki defeated the woman (that ate eggs) in episode 8. Honey defeated the guy (with feather blades) in episode 9
  • The bad guys know Cutie Honey's secret identity (really not a secret since she transforms in front of anyone)

[edit] Questions

  • Can Cutie Honey heat up when she is angry?
    • Unknown. None of the other cyborgs in the show seem to have this flaw, so I would guess no.
  • Why is Seiji poor and homeless?
    • His excuse is that he wants to understand the underworld of Japan. There's also a good chance he's just incompetent in his chosen profession.
  • Why does Honey transform in front of anyone? Doesn't she care about her secret identity? (not only her but for other animes too)
    • Does she ever have a secret identity to begin with? Anyway, it's an unwritten rule of anime that no-one who is unrelated to the plot witnesses the transformation sequence.
  • Why does Honey always get beat up by the guys (or girl) who run the Panther Claw?
    • Because she's not as strong as them. She's been doing training and in episode 9 she defeats Yuji.
  • Why is Miki so unfriendly to her comrade, Honey?
    • Miki cannot control her aggression when she is in her Sister Miki form. By pushing away anyone who could become friendly with her, she spares herself the emotional trauma of attacking them against her will.
  • Is Yuki a lesbian?
    • Yes.
  • Why does this take place in Honey's teens?
    • So that they can get plenty of breast shots. Besides, Honey is a robot so she doesn't age.
  • Where is the intro to this anime? Like how Honey was created and became friends with Hayama and Natchan?
    • Not included. The producers kept it a secret to preserve the mystery of Honey's creation. I expect it will be revealed at some point down the line.
  • How many split personalities does the guy (with feather blades) have? From episode 2, we see him with 1. a childlike personality, 2. a more mature and serious personality, and 3. (when he gets kicked and his eyes go blue) a threatening, serial killer personality (with powerful wings)
    • His name is Yuji, and three that we've seen. According to the official website, his three personalities are Child, Adult and Demon.

[edit] Duke Watari's Kanji

Duke Seiya Anthony Watari IV (デューク清也アンソニー渡4世, Dūku Seiya Ansonī Watari Yonsei?) is incorrect, since you pronounce the "IV" at the end of his name as "The Fourth".

The Yonsei is what is used as the reading at the Japanese Wikipedia where I found the complete kanji for his name. They did not have a reading that was "The Fourth" in katakana.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • In the actual show he introduces himself as- in English- "Duke Seiya Anthony Watari The Fourth". I thought that the English characters after the kanji was the romanji of the name: if this is the case, considering that this kind of naming convention is always "The Second/Third/Fourth/Fifth", shouldn't it be changed to reflect this? To compare: the movie Kamen Rider THE FIRST is translated as "Kamen Raidā Za Fāsuto". Redkun (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That is actually "Masked Rider The First" with "The First" written in English in the title. It is also a different sort of "The First" than would be a suffix to a person's name. While Watari does call himself "the Fourth", that name is not carried in the Japanese reading. Even Lupin III (which is pronounced as "Lupin the Third" in English and in some instances in Japanese), is still read (in Japanese) as "Rupan Sansei." "Kamen Rider The First" is not written as "仮面ライダー1世." It is written as "仮面ライダー THE FIRST."—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sister Yuki question

Is Sister Yuki insane? --68.81.70.65 (talk) 11:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not a forum for discussing the plot of the show. This page is for discussing the article. There are other places to ask this question that are not Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Android vs Cyborg

Both Sister Miki and Sister Yuki are cyborgs, Honey is an android. Miki and Yuki were both kidnapped and experimented on as preludes to the creation of the Honey Android. The Professor used them to prototype the perfected matter to energy/energy to matter converter he later installed in Honey, he was not a good guy. --Xero (talk) 15:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The words are practically the same in Japanese. Unless there is some other distinction made in the Japanese words, we should not make it here.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


I think it is really important to call the sister's "cyborgs" and Honey an "android" as this distinction is very important in the plot and how the characters are treated. There is even one episode (The importance of Existance) where the central plot revolves arround Honey being upset because she is treated very differently than the sisters (and everyone else) because she is an Android and they are not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.225.63 (talk) 02:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode List

If possible you might want to format the episode section like this. --Xero (talk) 15:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It is not necessary to format episodes list sections in any particular way.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
