message: Where in either the Anime or Manga does it say Freya was the first persocom? Something about that seems logically flawed... why give her a program to give all persocoms emotions if she's the first persocom ever created? It would take years, even decades for normal persocoms to proliferate in the meantime, making such a program virtually useless. They never say how long Freya stayed activated, but it couldn't have been more than a few years, and if Freya was the first Persocom ever, there couldn't have been more than a few hundred thousand persocoms at the most, which kind of defeats the whole purpose.
Also, assuming that everything passed normally, and Freya didn't fall in love with her father, she most likely would have found the person just for her long before there was a large amount of persocoms in the world. Hell, it only took Chii a few months to go from a totally blank slate to falling in love with Hideki.
It just doesn't make sense. Plus, I remember the Anime like the back of my hand, and nothing is mentioned about Freya being the first persocom. The Manga might be different, however. I don't know, I haven't gotten around to reading it.PiccoloNamek July 5, 2005 23:00 (UTC)
Freya isn't the first persocom as far as I know, but her father/creator made the first. ---Isuzu, October 8, 2005
freya was only the first of the chobits series of persocoms --Ditre 07:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm quite sure, Sumomo and Kotoko aren't Laptops. Laptops and PC's have the same habilities in hard disk and processing, the only diference is the battery. On the other side, PDA's have more limitations than PC's and Laptops. In one scene (both on the anime and the manga) we learn of Sumomo's limitations:
Hideki - What is that? (looking at the downloaded image)
Sumomo - That is... AN ATTACHED IMAGE!!!!
Hideki - I already knew that!!!
Shimbo - You can't ask her such dificult questions, she is just a mobile unit!
Kotoko on the other side says she has the same habilities as a normal sized persocom, but that's because she is "unique". So in other words, Sumomo is like a Tungsten (or any other "normal" PDA) and Kotoko is a LifeDrive (maybe better, but still a PDA). Coven 36
They're called "Laptop persocoms". Most real laptops aren't as powerful as their PC counterparts, and they have very different CPU architectures. Do you think a Powerbook is even half as powerful as Quad CPU PowerMac G5? Then how could a little thing like Sumomo be as powerful as a full-size persocom. A bigger persocom simply has more space for advanced equipment, just like a real computer. Sumomo is equivalent to a "normal" laptop computer. Kotoko is a desktop-replacement laptop. Kotoko has much more memory than Sumomo and also has dual processors. Also, I believe what Shinbo actually said is that she can't answer abstract questions, probably because of a combination of limited CPU power and too-simple programming. (A more complex program capable of understanding such a question probably wouldn't run well on her system.) I would also imagine a simplified CPU architechture in and of itself limits a persocom's ability to "think", so to speak. The Chobits equiavalent of a PDA would be something like Yumi's handheld model, that only stores phone numbers and whatnot.PiccoloNamek 22:05, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: CRAP. I accidentally violated the 3RR rule. Please forgive me administrators. I just know I am going to get blocked. Now, whoever this anonymous editor is needs to stop, now. This article entitled "Characters in Chobits", not "Characters in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE". This article concerns the stories and events concerning the characters in Chobits. Whatever happens to them in any Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE crossover is completely irrelevant to what happens in Chobits, and has no business being on this page. Most of what is being added is already covered, at least in part, on the TRC page and if it isn't that's where it needs to go.

message: In the anime, does Freya still exist at the end? She gets deleted, but it seems like she reappears at the end when Chi returns.I've read comments that suggest that she dies (for real) at the end. In the manga, I'm not sure what happens. She survived the first memory wipe of Elda though, makes sense that she appears at the end again of epsiode 26.
:I am inclined to believe that, at least in the anine, she continues to exist. The best evidence for this is that the final page of Chii's book, in the last few seconds of the final episode of the show, still has the red Atashi in the picture, along with pink Atashi and the figure representing Hideki. And, after all, Freya did say that they would be together forever. In the manga, it is explicitly stated that a single Chobi unit was not designed to hold two hearts at the same time. (Or, to put it in more technical terms, to be running two instances of the core program at once.) One of them will eventually have to overwrite the other, which is why Elda lost her memories.
So, in my opinion: Anime = alive, Manga = dead. Although, at least as far as the manga is concerned, they were never even truly conscious to begin with.PiccoloNamek 20:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Elda's memories were on the disc which was accidentally left in the garbage when Hideki salvaged her."
What is the source of that? I couldn't find it in the manga...
:In volume 8 Hibiya says that the Elda's memories were on the disc and that the reason she had been keeping it was to reload them into Elda's body if she was ultimately unable to find someone to love. She wanted to do this so that they could be a family again.PiccoloNamek 03:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I see a number of grammar problems in this article.
Much like many young men, Hideki is also has an active libido, possessing a very large number of pornographic magazines, which he refers to as "okazu" which means "side dish".
She is programmed to be cute and tends to be quite hyperactive, for example her morning 'wakie wakie exercises'.
The phrase "Because of this" is used a lot. Commas are everywhere. I think this article needs a lot of cleaning up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nanobot (talk • contribs) 07:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: When I first came across Chobits, I was disgusted by its Lolita Complex themes. Chi has the body of a thirteen-year-old, as first annoyed Hideki. However, as the series progresses, that fact doesn't seem to matter as the sexuality continues to rise. I was surprised none of this matter was mentioned at all in the article. Chi is described as being a young woman, not a young girl.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akari Mizunashi (talk • contribs) 23:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone have any idea why the characters are ordered as they are? I ask because I'm particularly startled that Chi isn't first or second, based on being one of the two protagonists, and I'm not seeing any relevant sorting in action. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: They are sorted in order of appearance. Any other sorting would be necessarily arbitrary. But if enough people feel strongly about it, it can be changed.PiccoloNamek (talk) 19:22, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Order in the manga or anime? IIRC, Hideki meets Chi before we're introduced to anyone else in the manga -- though it's been a while since I read it. Given the manga is the primary source text, with the anime a derivative of it, if anything it should follow that. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved Chi up to the second entry in the list, as she's both one of the two main protagonists in the story and one of the first two characters introduced in the manga. Marshall Stax (talk) 21:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
