It should be interesting if that were more thoroughly
followed up on.

True, Rind is a warrior, Urd is just temperemental. It
may not really matter if Urd had more raw power if
Rind was almost a match for Hild herself.  Also Urd
may be stronger at wild, chaotic magic, which is more
'flashy' while Belldandy or even Peorth have a clear
edge in healing, balancing power. Also, as you say,
there might be more 'big forces' than just Kami-sama,
Hild and TLoT.

Speaking of the nature of Urd's power and heritage...
Is it just me or isn't she supposed to be shown as
more good than evil? Her angel has far more white than
black in it after all so it seems her sisters have had
a spiritually calming influence on her... She also
continually seems to grow nicer with time as the manga
progresses. Is this perhaps also an intentional
ongoing hint on the creator's part that she may be
almost pure white and turn more like Peorth near the
end? Hmm...

Another musing is that I wonder if Hild's relation to
the Lord of Terror will be addressed in the anime
when/if he shows up? In mythology Hel, goddess of the
underworld was the daughter of Loke, god of chaos and
evil after all... Then again I saw it mentioned once
that the name Hild was likely borrowed from chinese
mythology, so the foundation might not be so strict?
Oh well, rambling mode again, but it's kind of fun
with this sort of thing. :)
