Notes on the DOD3 Story Side Novel

DOD3 Story Side Novel

DOD3 Story Side Novel

These are my notes as I read through the novel. This story depicts the flow of events that links directly with the original DOD1 timeline, which I tend to call DOD3’s “Branch E” storyline.

Please be warned of possible spoilers and foul language. Also please note that I use the original names of some characters over the English rendition.

* I’m sorry these notes have been incomplete for years. I have every intention on finishing them; simply, other things have come up to keep me busy… so this has been a relatively low priority. *sigh*

Just like the novelized version of DOD1, this book is also written by Eishima Jun and supervised by Yoko Taro, featuring a white stylized illustration of Zero and Mikhail on the cover, illustrated by Fujisaka Kimihiko!

When and where were such things like “contracts”, “The Cult of Watchers”, and the “Seal” created? Where did the four Apostles come from, and where are the five Utautai sisters going? Where might it possibly lead, this new branch through time that the Utautai traitor Zero and dragon Mikhail tread upon?
