Two Halves Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hikaru being split into two halves brings to mind the episode from the original Star Trek series where Kirk was split into two halves, a good half and an evil half. One of the main points of that episode was that neither half can exist without the other, both must coexist together. This same concept is also played out with Nova and Hikaru. Without a good half, Nova is foolish and destructive. Without her assertive evil half, Hikaru's heart is crippled by guilt and cannot function as a leader of the Magic Knights. And in the end, they both realize the need that they have for each other, and reunite to make Hikaru whole again.

It's fine, the more you say, the more informed I become. Another reason I like manga more is because in anime, details in clothing and such things get lost. I know it's hard to animate things with a lot of detail, but CLAMP does such beautiful artwork and has such nice details in clothes that get lost in the anime version (or at least in the couple episodes I saw).

Okay, back to the subject of the two halves of Hikaru ^_^ Does Hikaru get split up physically? Or is it mentally, like Gollum in Lord of the Rings movie (if you've seen it). And how does she get "split up"? I'm kinda confused on that.
