The Performance of U.R.T.V.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.R.T.V. is the existence wavelength of U-DO
Reason for Existence
U.R.T.V. is an abbreviation of "U-Do Retro Virus", and can also be called "U-Retro Virus". They are organic weapons, Yuriev Institute model, that possess the anti-existence wavelength of U-Do, and were produced by the late Professor Dimitri Yuriev.
As for the reason for existence of URTV, the point is that they are in a connection of anti-existence with U-Do. Namely, if U-Do no longer exists, then it becomes that the URTVs' reason for existence, too, is extinguished. Someone who acts to build counter-power cannot establish his own existence without first there being a power against which he must fight. An anti-existence who doesn't have an existence to "anti-" does not obtain existence. Surely this is also the same as the connection between URTVs and U-Do.
The URTVs, who were produced for the sake of searching for the possibility of eliminating U-Do, will eliminate their own personal reason for existence when the time comes that U-Do is eliminated.
Presently, the condition is that U-Do is sealed, and the significance that the URTVs still exist, that they have not disappeared, is not lost. While the meaning remains that they [still] exist in the world, with U-Do being sealed, it is necessary to [still] watch over that for the sake of protecting the world from the threat of U-Do.
This is a typical connection seen also in many legends that remain in the world: the existence of the threat that leads the world to collapse, and the existence that seals it away. There is not complete destruction of one side by the other-- it is a connection that maintains a miraculous balance between crisis and peace. At the present time, U-Do and URTV are maintaining that kind of perfect balance. However, there exists a URTV who may violate that equilibrium. Having linked with U-Do, the one who is located at the midway point between the two, is Albedo.
When the unleashing of U-Do occurred on Miltia 14 years ago, Albedo received a surge of U-Do, which caused a severe change in his emotional state.
He was an existence that was called "anti- U-Do", and because he had received U-Do, he lost the reason for existence that URTVs have. For someone who has lost the significance of his own existence, what must he do? Only by seeking a new significance can he affirm himself.
For better or worse, both U-Do and then Miltia were sealed away, and it became impossible for Albedo to re-contact U-Do. To that end, it is considered that Albedo established his own reason for existence-- to seek a re-linking to U-Do.
Just as it is considered that Jr's and Gaignun's reasons for existence are to continue to keep U-Do sealed, it is considered that Albedo's reason for existence is to accomplish a second linking with an awakened U-Do. In Jr and Gaignun's on-going purpose to "continue to seal", there is not an end. However, in Albedo, who makes his purpose the instantaneous event of "allowing [U-Do] to awaken, and linking", his reason for existence has no continuity. After accomplishing that goal, He must again search for a new goal in order to affirm his own existence.
Even in humans, it is discovered that there are many people who lose sight of the connection of the goal with the means, causing empty behavior like Albedo's.
Someone who made his purpose to enroll into Borromeo University, after accomplishing the instantaneous goal of enrolling, at the destination of year's end, there is the situation that he lives without purpose. [Awkward]: Putting himself in the exterior of the social system for the sake of groping for a way of life of becoming himself, he is also someone who keeps living positively while developing a robot that no one has seen.
Where does he discover his own reason for existence? Due to that, the behavior of that individual changes dramatically.
Performance (...I take it this refers to 'abilities', basically.)
If there is no comprehension of the meaning of the existence called "U-Do", then there can be no comprehension of the essence of URTV, who are anti-existences. Thus, with the state in which the existence of U-Do is not becoming clear, it is impossible to have true understanding.
However, we are able to know the URTV performance from Jr, Gaignun, and Albedo.
#669, Gaignun, possesses suggestive ability that controls the thoughts of another person.
#667, Albedo, possesses regenerative ability of bodily tissue, i.e. the power of absolute resistance to damage of the flesh.
#666, Jr, is performing the suppression of physical growth and can even be said to suspend time with his own will. Also, Jr is considered to be playing the role of central connecter that psychically ties together his other fellow URTVs. The reasoning for this is that, on Miltia 14 years ago, because Jr became terrified by U-Do's fury and rejected the mental link, which caused the other URTVs to become completely chaotic.
It is possible to consider that the ability of these 3 URTVs is the power to fight against death.
The power of perpetual youth, "growth suppression", is a power of immortality that opposes aging; the power of resistance to injury is a power of immortality that opposes violence; and the power of mind control is a power of immortality that opposes memory lapse. Looked at in this way, it can be considered that the ability of URTV is something that searches for the power of immortality.
If URTV is anti-U-Do, and U-Do acts as anti-existence of URTVs who seek the power of immortality, it is possible to guess that U-Do is an existence that possesses the power of death.
So, what kind of thing might the performance of the other URTVs have been?
669 URTV Bodies (It gets less relevant to Gaignun here.)
The 3 of them, Jr, Albedo, and Gaignun, each possess unique performance abilities, and are seen with different features like eye color and hair color-- red, white, and black.
However, the other URTVs, who appeared in the scene of Miltia 14 years ago that was reconstructed in the encephalon dive, being perhaps like the mass-production model, all had yellow hair uniformly.
Because of that, is it perhaps that there doesn't exist a difference in ability [among the other URTVs]?
It is considered to be a possibility that the scene reconstructed in the encephalon dive was something that was not entirely accurate. Although it is something that was based on information from Jr's memory, a person's memory melts away except for the important portions. In other words, the important memory in Jr was something concerning Gaignun and Albedo, as well as U-Do, and it is possible to explain that the individuality of each of the other URTVs was considered to be unimportant.
The Reason for 669 Bodies
Why weren't 670 units produced? If we are to consider that, it is necessary to know if there was some kind of performance made especially for URTVs in the 660's place(*).
(* I'm a little confused here. This can also be translated as "unit #660", but that doesn't make sense to me at all, so I'm making a bit of a guess that it means generally the span of numbers from 660 to 669.)
For the result that continued to search for the possibility of acting as anti-existence of U-Do, it is considered that the solution that Professor Dimitri Yuriev arrived at after a long struggle was in the 660's place.
If we assume there is a form that was completed to perform as anti-U-Do in the URTV ability possessed by Jr, Albedo, and Gaignun, whatever kind of thing might that be? What might be said of whatever kind of meaning is in growth suppression and mental linking of the other URTVs? Due to insufficient information, at this point in time it is difficult to make a guess about these things.
