Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello Gaians! I watched the first few episodes of the Three Kings saga the other day, and unfortunately didn't get to finish the saga (so this argument might be flawed.) But I noticed something a little strange about Makai; from what I remember, there's never a scene that takes place in the Makai at night.

Now, like I said, I only watched up to Hiei's year, and then I got busy and haven't watched the end of it (in three or four years and that was at two in the morning) so I might have missed a scene. But from what I remember, it's never night in Makai! When the boys go to Maze Castle (which may or may not actually be in Makai, since they make a big deal out of never having been there before at the end of the Chapter Black saga) the sky is cloudy and a purply red color. It's the same when they get into Makai with Sensui, and again when Yusuke goes to meet Raizen. It seems like Makai is a sort of limbo, without a change in day and night.

Another reason I wonder this is because when Yusuke went with those three servants of Raizen's to the castle, they hear Raizen's stomach growling and one of them mentions that his stomach rumbles at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (which doesn't make sense to me because wouldn't it rumble continuously after so long without food?) and that's what they use to mark the passing of time. Well, if there was a nighttime, why wouldn't you mark the passing of time by that?

(It now occurs to me that it was nighttime when Raizen met the human doctor in the flashback, but if that was before the barrier then it makes sense that they would be in human world, where there is night. By the way, was there such a thing as Makai before, or was it created when humans and demons were separated?)

One more aside theory; it's possible that the plants in demon world are so different and vicious because they feed off energy instead of/along with sunlight. They suck energy from the atmosphere or passing demons to grow and as a result become more "wild" than plants in the human world!

Well, keep in mind, it is a separate dimension...so the basic notions that are law in our world could be completly diferent there...

Interesting observation, InkMistress! : D

It also leads me to question how the demons tell a passing of a day, then. (Since they mention that Yusuke had been unconscious for a week after his fight with Yomi.)
