During the Rind arc. Rind has two angels and since Hild is sucking the
angels out of the other goddesses, Rind temporarily transferred one
one of hers to K1. Rind got it back at the end of the story arc.
The Rind arc is most Vol.25 and part of Vol.26 of the AMG manga.

Well, Hild (Urd's mom) wanted to convert, for lack of a better word,
Bell from goddess to demon. The first step in this plan was to
forcibly extract the angel Holy Bell from Belldandy (Holy Bell's
host) and replace it with the demon equivalent.
The costume change was the result of the demon angel being inserted
to into Belldandy.
Go to http://g2g.iverse.com/AMG/Front_Page/frontpage.htm and check

Have you read the manga? Belldandy gets naughty after one of Urd's
love potions get screwed up. heh!heh! Then there's Peorth, who's
only goal is to bed Keiichi when she first is introduced. Keiichi is
more of a man than I cause I couldn't resist Peorth's advances.
Unlike Urd's attempts in the early mangas, Peorth's attempts didn't
rely on spells but in actually seducing him. Her way of waking K1 up
was...well, you'll just have to read it to see. ;-P
AstroNerdBoy
*lol* Yeah, if she weren't she would have chosen to be a demon and
not a goddess. Still, her demon side does make her naughty and after
all these years, she still wants to see Belldandy and Keiichi hook up
but she accepts their relationship as is.
Personally, I wish the romance would advance where K1 actually asks
Belldandy to marry him. Granted they are like an old married couple
now, but it would spice the romance up (IMO). Then let them get
married and deal with actual marital problems that may arise from
their unique relationship. :-) The Morisato household wouldn't
change because Belldandy has the lock on Keiichi so there's no reason
for Skuld, Urd, or Peorth (assuming she doesn't leave in volume 26) to
leave. Just my opinion though...

Beyond the OAV's - Belldandy stands up to and opposes the almighty if
she feels the situation warrants it - by definition that's not being
good(of course it always works out better because she did). She is
also known to suffer from jealousy and it's better to be elsewhere
when that happens.
She's also had her mind partially erased (atleast) twice - she may
have been a really big (and powerful) radical with Celestine before
she granted K's wish(which is after the first known mind alteration).
Urd can certainly be interesting, the story of her first time with her
'angel' may have been the best single issue story so far. I wish we'd
get more good/evil conflict with her as opposed to the good and/or bad
Urd stories.

This is true, but it's not as if she MEANS to cause harm. As we
saw with the girl exorcist who became convinced Keiichi was
'demon-haunted' (she correctly identified that he was surrounded
by supernatural forces, but errored in thinking it was from the
other end of the spectrum) and tried to 'exorcise' him, when Bell
becomes jealous she often doesn't understand what's happening.
And her powers tend to unconsciously leak out the more jealous
she gets, causing havok all round her while she remains oblivious
to the fact that she's the one causing it.

One of the common misconceptions. I'd wager, if Kamisama was given a
woman's voice in the OAV, everyone would've began the rumor it was the
Japanese Sun Goddess.
Still, considering that (angels nonwithstanding) there aren't many
Christian references in OMG anyway....

Actually, the series isn't for everyone. Certainly at times it has
gotten...slow. But Fujishima-san can draw, not only babes, but
detailed things like various vehicles, city settings, etc. The detail
just astounds me. Plus, how can you *not* be moved by this:

While I won't argue the Judeo-Christian concept of the almight
probably creeps in when I read this, I don't view them as the same. I
certainly get the impression he is supposed to be good and right.
When Belldandy has opposed him it's always been for emotional reasons,
an emotional attachment that the almighty(and most likely most of the
other gods/goddesses) does not have.

*blink* !I! always considered him Odin, Wotan, or the AllFather -
whatever name you wish to give him. After all, his daughters are the three
Norns, he oversees Yggsdrill (pardon the bad spelling!), and one of his
daughters uses Daughter-of-Mjolnir ...
But that was me, I guess.

Well, it's also in the translation from Dark Horse ... See "Mystery

"The Almighty" has been revealed to be the father of the Norns only in
the Dark Horse/Studio Proteus edition of the manga & the English
language dub of the OAV. This is not the case in the original
Japanese language. We have never been told what his name is.
"Kami-Sama" is a title.
And humanoid figures with wings (angels) predate both Christianity and
Judaism.
What I found disconcerting was seeing Belldandy wearing a cross (of all
things) in some fairly recent issue. Also Naru Narusegawa of Love Hina
wears one too. Looks like crosses seem to be pretty popular as a piece
of jewelry in Asia now, instead of being just a religious symbol. No
more than one percent of Japanese consider themselves to be Christians.
That is unless anybody thinks Belldandy really is a Christian? :-)

Until Nuku Nuku tries to make a move on K1. Then she'll kick but and
take names. Heck, she even stood up to Hild who's the leader of hell
when she got a little to "flirty" with her man. Hild would have wiped

As I understand it, they refer to "God" in the original manga as
"Kami-sama" -- Lord God. Of course I can't read Japanese and am
relying on someone else, but I trust them so...

Yeah, I would agree with that from what I understand. Studeo Proteus
takes a lot of liberties at times with their English scripts.
Sometimes it helps flesh out the situation and sometimes it changes
it. But except for the flipped images in the DH releases (which
sometimes aren't flipped causing a character to change hairstyles
repeatedly in the same book), I don't mind.

No matter, we can get Washuu to do it! It will have to

And even if we DO get OAV Washuu, Nuku-Nuku may wind up

They just finished the one about the ghost of Chihiro's old bike

That is the first chapter of Vol. 19 Rind does not appear until
Vol. 25.

My $.02 in opinion form: When you use the word "Kami-sama" in Japan,
you're referring to the God of a (mostly) monotheistic religion. The
most well-known example (to Japanese) of that, AFAIK, is Christianity.
Which is not to say that Kami-sama shares all his attributes with the
Christian God, any more than the 3 Norns were supposed to have angels or
carry chibi hammers. Fujishima picked up the idea of a big-boss God from
Christianity and just ran with it.
>>>Yeah okay maybe he's shin buddhist or something.
> Hm, how many faith HAVE been referenced in OMG anyway?
All of them? Seriously, you have the obvious Norse mythology, you have
the Buddhist temple, you have the obvious Judeo-Christian bits with the
angels and stuff, there're references to Hinduism (Marller's name is
sometimes rendered as Mara, a demon from Hindu mythology), and Wicca is
probably somewhere in there too (albeit possibly not directly). Heck,
there's even a Pratchettism reference. Off-hand I can't think of
anything from Islam, although I wouldn't be 100% surprised if it popped
up sometime.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to ask the following. Okay we've seen
Urd's mom and the 3 goddesses' dad but has there been any mention
of who is the mother of Skuld and Belldandy?
iira...@yahoo.com
She may have first appeared in 24 but since all of Vol. 25
is about Rind, and when I think of Vol. 24, I think of K1'a
and Megumi's mom and dad. his may have been what I was thinking.
I want Vol. 26 Now! My local hsop which carries AMS still
hasn't gotten their 26s in yet.

There's this quote from the Terrible Master Urd story:
Urd: "Then how did you know the program made flesh would be the Fenrir
Wolf?!"
Belldandy: "It was in the "Big Picture Book of Supernatural Beasts"
Mom gave us when we were kids."
This story also, BTW, also shows that the "Almighty" is NOT omnipotent
("I must conserve my strength to protect Yggdrasil itself!") or
omniscient (He relies on Bell to tell him when the Lord of Terror
activates, and didn't know until Yggdrasil registered its presence on
Earth) or omnipresent (he seems to have a body, at least
sometimes)...and to be nitpicky, Bell says that she and Urd share the
same father, but doesn't actually say who that is (she still adresses
the Almighty as "my Lord")...
Dex,
noting that Bell-chans' hair looks a different color in the flashback
scene of her commission...

You'll have to let us know how it is when you get it. I know Rind
continues through the first part of 26 but after that, I'm B-L-A-N-K.

Ah, but only by using a study group. No cheating. <g> ...Okay, Urd
might help you cheat but you'd be an idiot to try anything of Urd's
special medicene helping you do so...

I often wonder why Bell IS a good cook considering she (nor the other
Goddess I think) doesn't have to eat, period.

Not for Keiichi, but she does do this for herself every day to relax.
It came up in the Let's Hold Hands storyline I think, when they were
'chained' together by the hands.

Skuld eats ice cream to replenish her energy.

Bi = beautiful
Jin = person
Technically applicable to both genders( IIRC), though it's generally used to
refer to women only, both in polite company and in the "hot chick" sense.
AstroNerdBoy
The manga hasn't shown it so officially you are right. However,
considering everything else Belldandy does combined with the fact that
she's the "perfect" Japanese housewife, having a bath ready for K1
after a hard day wouldn't surprise me. :-D

Which isn't eating. <g> I should explain a little more then. IIRC
Belldandy explains this once too, early one. Paraphasing, since I
don't rememebr Bell's tricky wording...
All the goddess get their energy from Yggdrasil. Basically that
doohickey converts-creates energy into a form they can use. Now, if
something happens to their connection to it, they can get their energy
other ways. Sleep, sake, or icecream.
Neither Urd nor Skuld are actually getting NUTRITION from their
respective food and drink, although they can get 'energy' this way. No
other sweets or food EXCEPT ice cream (for some odd reason) gives
Skuld energy. She just can't process it in that regard. Same with Urd
and her sake.
(It's a little more ovbious in Urd's case, since while sake makes HER
drunk but other goddesses, like Belldandy, can't get soused that way.
Tho she can get drunk from cola, apparently.)
I'm supposing this is horribly picky, and along the lines of arguing
whether an android who recharges in a wall socket or one whose engine
burns up the sugars in swallowed foodstuffs is 'eating,' but it's
worth noting.
