Kuro, of course, doubts her at first but after fighting a yōkai in a library and revealing to each other their true identities (Kuro is actually a monster that has eaten two different yōkai meats giving him the powers of immortality and near-absolute precognition), Kuro agrees to help Kotoko on her various adventures as the peace-keeping Goddess of Wisdom.Ĭharacters Main characters Kotoko Iwanaga ( 岩永琴子, Iwanaga Kotoko) Voiced by: Akari Kitō (Japanese) Lizzie Freeman (English) A young university student with one eye and one leg, which she adapted at the age of 11 after becoming acquainted with the yōkai 's request of her wisdom. She then tells him that she is a sort of Goddess of Wisdom where she serves as the intermediary between the real world and the supernatural world. When Bond calls on her for assistance, Moneypenny just happens to be in a slip as well, having woken up in the middle of the night next to a “friend.While struggling to get past a break-up with his girlfriend, Kuro Sakuragawa was approached by Kotoko Iwanaga, a girl who declared that she was in love with Kuro since she met him two years ago. Moneypenny was introduced as a competent MI6 field agent in Skyfall and then infuriatingly demoted to secretary at the end of that film, and now mostly just spends her screen time bantering with that cad Bond.Įvery conversation she has with Bond is done in such a wink-wink fashion that he might as well turn to the camera and wink after every double entendre.

For a minute, you foolishly believe that Swann is going to be a different type of Bond Girl, even though she comes complete with the prerequisite daddy issues and dons a silky nightie that shows off the obligatory amount of cleavage as she tells him off. “Don’t think for one moment this is where I fall into your arms and seek solace for my dead daddy,” she says early on, after Bond saves her and brings her to a hotel to bunk down. And the distressing only becomes more cliché as the movie continues. No matter how many times she protests that she can save herself, she would be dead in her first two minutes onscreen if it weren’t for Bond. Madeleine Swann is little more than a damsel in distress. Whereas Bellucci’s Sciarra fulfills the requirement for some sort of sexual conquest/femme fatale trope, Léa Seydoux’s Dr. Because that’s how little sense it makes. ![]() Except suddenly she is in full lingerie? You don’t see them, but one has to assume she’s wearing heels in bed too. A brief, but not entirely unrelated sidebar: Belluci provides the movie’s most baffling scene, when, post-coitus, as Bond dresses across the room, she tries to convince him to stay.
