So, basically, you're saying it's circumstantial. And it wouldn't make sense, in my opinion, since the twin curse is one of the few (if not only) exceptions in Jusenkyo, and exceptions are rarely accommodated for (or, at least, well) in nature. There'd have to be a lot of curses like the twin curse for the nature of the magic to need to do more than simply: cold activates curse, hot deactivates curse. Because the vast majority of curses (at least, if the ones we know of are any indication) don't require a choice, and thus no "personality" or "consciousness" would develop, or need to develop. That's why I approached the question according to what we do know for certain, and not something out of pure speculation. And what we know is that cold water activates a curse, and hot water deactivates it. Thus, the poll is about how that "on" and "off" system might work in the case of the twins curse.Konsaki wrote:I voted 'Other' since the way Jusenkyo works has been up to Rumiko Takahashi's whim. Using this, I consider Jusenkyo to be simi-intelligent/simi-telepathic and determins the effect of the curse based off the intentions of the person being effected by it. Here are some examples to make my vision clearer:
Ryoga jumps into 'Spring of Drowned Twins' (SDT) to try and get his 'twin' to take the curse and leave him curse free. Jusenkyo sees this in Ryoga's mind and makes it where his 'twin' is curse free but leaves Ryoga in a normal state or perma-pig depending on darkness of Jusenkyo.
Ryoga jumps into SDT because he's lonely and wants to gain a traveling companion. He gets a twin but both are still pig cursed and the twin gets seperated/lost due to Ryoga's inherent flaw.
Happosai wants to 'teach Ranma a lesson' through Ryoga and dumps a bucket of SDT water on an unaware Ryoga. Ryoga turns into two pigs when wet but once one hits hot water, the one in the hot water turns back into Ryoga and the other pig disappears somehow with Ryoga gaining it's memories.
