A silly question(s?) about the OVA
Before I discuss what I wanna ask, I wanna make a disclaimer: I’m aware that the OVA isn’t really considered canon, nor is there really a canon at all. Also, I’m aware it’s silly to pull apart the logistics of the plot of a hentai series and sounding like cinema sins while at it, but I genuinely got invested and this has been tickling my brain since I saw it.
What I wanna discuss here is the relationship between the succubus and the host, more specifically how it works for the host.
In the OVA, at the end, the woman being controlled by the succubus questions where she is and how she got there, implying she was not conscious. However, the OVA also kinda contradicts this. Sometimes in the OVA (specifically here the moment with the ugly ass emo dude in the chess club), the viewer is told that the host is feeling nervous, implying that the host can express some sort of consciousness or at least some awareness while being controlled. This brings me to wonder: is the host ACTUALLY aware of what’s happening or are they completely blank during the event and the emotions displayed are instinctual?
The best explanation I could find for this was a comment on a Reddit post here that claimed that the *spirit* of the host is responsible, however this then leads me to ask if the spirit of a host affects the succubus’s emotions or desires. Like if she were to take over a host that were lesbian, would the succubus also become lesbian, or would that not affect them?
Also, if the host WERE conscious, would they be able to actually interact with the succubus if they wanted (like how Venom can talk to the host in their head)? Furthermore, could the host take over their own body?
Again, fully aware that these questions or irrelevant but I want to hear what people think about this.
