The whole movie is about Belldandy's mentor. He wanted to change the goddess system, so he was put in jail or something, then he escaped. Went to Belldandy, and erased her memories. That's all I know about it.
Chibi Jen! Guess what! I found the Ah! My Goddess movie! So happy I know they have a copy here in Connecticut. But, it's like an hour drive from where I live, so I wouldn't have known. But, I didn't buy it. That store was so expensive. I mean $30 US, is that a lot?

gHey Belldandy, welcome back ^_^ About your questions...they seem pretty interesting.. 1) what happened to Celestin at the end, did he simply fly away, die? or back to the moon? his "soul" seem to have cracked and so does anyone know or has any idea what happened to him? At the end... I think Celestin actually died...like vanished.. There's no point of him staying on the moon for life anyway... I think he chose to kill himself..but then again, there's no evidence except my own imagination.. If he flew away...where'd he go anyway? Like you said, his soul did 'crack'.... The flashback.. umm..*thinks and runs off to see the manga again....* I think at that point, Celestin didn't commit the crime yet...that flash back was 'before' he decided to do what he thought best. So it was only 'after' Belldandy became first class, that he wanted her to help him..thus being sentenced. It appears that it was because of the help of keiichi/Celestin and Belldandy?? Errr.. I don't really know this one. I really have no idea why ^_^;;; When I watched it, it didn't really become a question..but now that you mention it??? Umm... ---- And Sakura... I think 30USD is not that expensive... here in Australia, you can get it about 35AUD (Australian Dollars) which is roughly 70USD...is that right? I'm not too good with exchange rates... So, I'm not too sure about that.

So, I'm not too sure about that. Well, I'm not very good with exchange rates either...but I looked it up and 35.00 AUD = 25.97 USD...it's still cheaper where you are. lolz. But if I find it again, I'm definately gonna buy it.

i think this is for the plots sake...the story needed some closure on the judgement gate..since the whole movie basically revolves around it ...and surely enough knowing that K1 and Bell are in this category their commitment to one another will be tested and what better way to just wack it in so it doesnt make any sense watsoever.

Hahaa... That's possible ^_^ I think Newbert is right, I mean Peorth didn't say anything about the Gungnir teleporting them to the gate...in fact- I don't think it's even got anything to do with the Judgement Gate. That Gungnir was just suppose to eliminate Celestin...no?

I was kinda lost watching that movie...some stuff I didn't even notice Hm..I was wondering, I don't get it..so the little mask thing is meant to be Celestin? How come its just stuck on his Keiichi's hand? So he didn't take over keiichi at that point? When k1 and Belldandy went through the judgement gate, Celestin was stuck to his hand (was he still possessed?) Keiichi was still wearing his clothes, but just didn't have the blue stuff on his face. After the singing part and Belldandy is back with K1, Keiichi is taken over by Celestin again and he comes out of him again..what's the point? Why didn't he just stay out? Well..he didn't sound like he was in pain or anything..nor angry... i think he may rest in peace.. It's weird how he said he was glad he could hear Belldandy sing for the last time..normally ppl say this when they die?? Dunno... I don't think he when back to the moon..heaven wouldn't let him... I don't think its the gungnir that teleported them..I think it was celestin- just a guess Or it was fate/destiny...it was time to test their love for one another. How would they normally go there in the first place? It's not like they would go there themselves. Do I make any sense?

Just because Celestin was stuck to KI's hand... he's not possessed ^_^;; I'm pretty sure of it. Like when he is stuck to Morgan... she's talking to him, not really turned into him. I think the only time when Celestin takes over Keiichi, is when KI has Celestin's symbol on his face. Wearing the clothes didn't mean Celestin possessed him.. I think they just left Celestin's clothes on him, so it looks better when he and Belldandy both walked through the judgement gate.
heeheh...that is funny ^_^ I didn't notice... I wonder why too...why does KI have Celestin's symbols on his face again??
That's because Celestin does die.... so, why would it sound strange? ^_^

I really don't think the Gungnir scene had any explanation. Maybe, since they were about to die, their love had to be tested first and when they did they recieved the god's blessing and survive? No one knows- even the workers at heaven were totally lost. I also believe it thickens the plots and directs to the inevitability that they must be tested. Great discussion from everyone anyways. Celestin's pocession process is quite confusing and a worthy topic to discuss. When he takes over Morgan is a full Celestin (exact person) but when he takes over K1, Keiichi's body remains. When it's souls pops out, it means he is like a mossie, out and just hanging around in control of no one. It is strange that when he's out of K1 the clothes remain and K1 and still fly. Then again, his overtakening of Morgan and K1 are totally different. Morgan was willing while K1 was not. It's also not exactly taking over, as the Celestin and the "host" share each other's memories- how Keiichi learnt of the Gate.

I'm sorry, but I think you need to look at the manga more closely to see how that explanation doesn't work. When Celestin crushed the gate, Bell was a little girl. (Sorry, I can't find the pictures of the 2 scenes anywhere. Anyone who can, or can run the movie on computer and save the snapshots would be of great help.) Celestin is then imprisioned. Later on, Bell is much older when she becomes a 1st class goddess yet Celestin is still there. So, I guess the best explanation is that he is not really there, but maybe on the moon, imagining him there if he had not rebelled against Heaven. I guess these things are not really noticable except by really dedicated fans who the movie over and over again to try to understand everything and looking at all the details... Thanks for giving it a go anyways.

lol... You're right..it doesnt make sense...hehehe... .So, I guess the best explanation is that he is not really there, but maybe on the moon, imagining him there if he had not rebelled against Heaven. However, after reading it *again*, it really doesn't look Celestin was imagining it... XD I think they simply made a mistake in the storyline..it doesn't work out. I can't find any expanation for it neither

I believe my explanation works, the whole scene starts fading to black and the other gods arounds him start disappearing too... I don't think the book can illustrate this or can be an effective way to examine the movie in detail except in scenes where alot of things happens in a flash and you want to know every little thing (eg. evangelion cover) or things in the background.
