Thymia

**Thymia** (サイミア) taken from the Greek Θυμία ("spiritedness"), is a power used by certain people in the manga Children of the Whales. Users of thymia, the **Marked**, are able to use some kind of psychic power to move objects. It cannot be directly used on human beings, but it can give people the ability to do things that would normally be beyond their strength, like children firing a bow. It is physically exerting to use, with using thymia to move a sand boat said to be about as physically exerting as running at a full sprint. When thymia is being used, an **aura** appears on the user's body and the object being moved. The colors and patterns of the aura vary by person.

Thymia can only be used by those that live under a Nous.

**Masoh** is a character in *Children of the Whales*. He was one of the older Marked of the island.

## Appearance

Masoh had short black hair and a muscular figure. He was frequently seen wearing a sleeveless tunic with a sash.

## Personality

Masoh was outgoing and friendly, and much- loved by the citizens of the Mud Whale. Masoh went out of his way to protect the Mud Whale, and reached out to Ouni before the latter even realized he was reaching out in the first place. Masoh was quite strong. He wasn’t a strategist or an analyst, but did his best to pay attention while the citizens of the Mud Whale made plans against Skyros, He also enjoyed playing pranks on the Mud Whale, especially on Kuchiba.

Masoh was an archetypal hero who would do nearly anything to protect his friends.

## History

As a young child, Masoh was deeply disturbed by the deaths of young Marked. He often worried that when he died he would become forgotten and become completely nothing— and if that was the case, what was the point of existing? Because of this, Masoh started to prank Kuchiba. By riling Kuchiba up and making him mad, he was able to feel like his existence had a purpose.

Masoh’s child died in a sand related accident.

 Masoh refused an offer to join the Mud Whale's Self-Defense Force, which only the strongest thymia users are invited into.

## Plot

Masoh is the leader of the scouting parting to the battleship Lykos where Lykos is found. He later guards Ouni in his cell after Ouni is imprisoned for going to the ship, and lets him out when the first attack on the Mud Whale begins.

He later joins Chakuro and his friends to stop the Committee of Elders from sinking the Mud Whale. During the second attack by the Skylos battleship, he works together with the other Marked of the ship to repel the enemy.

## Relationships

### Shinono

Masoh has romantic feelings for Shinono. It’s unclear whether or not she reciprocates, but the two do care for each other.

### Kuchiba

The two are often at odds with one another. Masoh refers to Kuchiba as "old man" and often makes fun of Kuchiba’s physical weakness. Despite arguing constantly, the two do genuinely care for each other. Masoh saves Kuchiba from essentially a suicide mission during Skyros‘s attack on the Mud Whale, and kills a child soldier so that Kuchiba doesn’t have to live with the memory of killing the child. While drunk, Masoh tells Kuchiba that he’s worried about him.

Masoh gives Kuchiba the nickname “Kuchi”.

### Ouni

Masoh has helped Ouni a lot in terms of Ouni coming to accept that he is daimones with giving him a speech about being a hero and Masoh is like a ghost dad to Ouni and most of the other children on the mud whale.

## Trivia

* Masoh is named after a color in Japanese (真赭) translated as "cinnabar."

Greek Terminology

Children of the Whales incorporates a fair amount of Greek terminology, both as names for characters and as terms for some of the places in its world. The purpose of this list is to gather and translate all of the Greek terms in the series.

## Footnotes

1. ↑ Although the Nous retains the traditional spelling of Lýkos, the character with the same name uses a y instead of a ý in her name, perhaps to differentiate the two.
2. ↑ The ship's name can alternatively be translated as Skylos (σκύλος), the Greek word for dog, which would fit with the theme of naming ships after animals in the series.

## Summary

Chakuro manages to fling the girl and the swords away using his thymia. She falls unconscious. He notes that she seems very weak, and is wounded. Chakuro carries the girl and her clothes back to the rest of the group, who react in shock at seeing an outsider. Excited, they bring the girl back to the Mud Whale. Chakuro decides not to tell them about how she attacked him, and Sami helps dress her. As they head back, it begins to rain, a sign of good luck.

When they get back, Kuchiba and Shinono greet them. Kuchiba yells at Masoh for bringing back something from the ship, who angrily retorts that they found a person. Kuchiba then runs off to find Mayor Taisha. The girl then wakes up and begins to activate her thymia. Chakuro tries to calm her down, and the girl then speaks and says that she surrenders and is the "only one left". As Kuchiba leads Mayor Taisha back to the entrance, they discover that Chakuro and Sami have goe ahead and taken the girl to the infirmary.

On the way to the infirmary, Chakuro and Sami ask the girl questions. The girl states that she has no name, but Sami retorts that she does, because she saw the word "Lykos" embroidered on her clothes. The two then ask Lykos if she's surprised to be somewhere so unfamiliar, to which she answers no. When they reach the infirmary, Lykos sees that it is full of young people, and tells Chakuro that it is different where she's from. She then asks if this is "Falaina", to which Chakuro answers no.Then, Mayor Taisha appears and takes Lykos away to see the Committee of Elders.

Suou has also come to the infirmary, and tells Chakuro that Ouni and the others held in the belly will be pardoned. Chakuro decides to tag along as a bodyguard while Sami is left behind. They free Ouni and his group, known as the Moles, from their cell, who antagonize Suou. Suou then tells them that they found someone from the outside. The Moles become excited, and Ouni states that he's all for leaving the ship if there's a world outside. Ouni walks off, and Chakuro, worried that he might do something to Lykos, decides to go check on her in the Central Tower. Chakuro climbs the spikes on the side of the tower wall until he can peer into the window.

There, he sees Lykos and the Elders questioning each other, and Lykos reveals that she is an apátheia, a human without emotions. The Committee of Elders then decide that they must detain her. Suddenly, the cat-like creature Chakuro has been carrying cries out in alarm, and Ouni, jumping from behind Chakuro, breaks open the window with his thymia. He then grabs Lykos, saying that he plans to look at her world. Ouni, Lykos in hand, jumps out the window, grabbing Chakuro on the way down. He uses thymia to slow their descent. Ouni, Lykos, and Chakuro then head out to the mysterious island in the sea of sand.

Episode 9

**I Wish to See What Comes of the Choice You Have Made** is the ninth episode of the Children of the Whales anime. The remainder of Mud Whale's Skylos infiltration force confronts Commander Arachni near the Nous Skylos. Despite not being able to use Thymia, Ouni and Nibi show excellent cooperation and put up a good fight against the Imperial Soldiers. However...

## Summary

Arachni continues to threaten Ouni. Meanwhile, back on the Mud Whale, the attack continues. Masoh, firing arrows from behind a barricade, finds himself weakening due to Thymia overuse. Masoh then spots Kuchiba wandering towards the enemy forces, and calls out to him. Kuchiba ignores him and picks up a sword, set on avenging Mayor Taisha. But before he can fight, Masoh strikes down the enemy forces with some arrows. One of the soldiers survives and comments on how unseemly there emotions are. Kuchiba knocks off their mask, to reveal that the enemy was a young girl. She taunts them, asking if they can kill her, and Masoh kills her, stating that he'll avenge Mayor Taisha. Kuchiba wishes for it all to stop, and Masoh wonders what his daughter would have been like, had she survived. Meanwhile, on Skyros, Arachni continues to threaten Ouni. He tells Pagoni to finish Ouni off, but Nibi jumps down and saves Ouni. The two kill Pagoni together and continue to take out enemies, until Nibi is killed when he turns his back on the enemy to help Ouni. Ouni loses control and mindlessly lashes out with his Thymia, which changes to a dark indigo. He ends up directly killing several apátheia soldiers and the Nous.
