Odd's size

[Darkness Incarnate offline]

Many times odd is referd to as scrawny but he always comes back with "I'm savelt" does anyone know what Savelt means? I could just be dumb but i've never heard that before I tryed looking it up but I can't find it can someone give me a hand.

The reason you couldn't find the word is 'cause you have it spelled wrong. It's "svelte". It means "slender, graceful" according to my Oxford English Dictionary.

Errr. yeah. xD;; I gotta admit, this wasn't exactly what I thought of when I first saw the thread title...

From his Wikipedia page:

Such comparisons are "eats as much as an elephant," "is a walking stomach," "is like a cow," and "has five stomachs." Despite this, Odd retains his small stature, making him the shortest member of Team Lyoko. This is mostly due to his high metabolism. As a running gag, many characters call him "scrawny" because of this, much to his displeasure. He prefers to be called "svelte," which is French for "slender."

And there you have it.

Personally, I don't think Odd is scrawny at all. Just short.

EDIT:

Errr. yeah. xD;; I gotta admit, this wasn't exactly what I thought of when I first saw the thread title...

*snerk*

Svelte is a French word which means "slender" or "graceful"/"elegant". Matt himself may have suggested that Odd should retort that.

*snort* Same... xD;

He knows he's scrawny, but he's in denial, so he calls himself "svelte".

Now, on wikipedia, they give Odd's height and weight, and he is about 4'8 and weighs about 70 pounds... now who would NOT call this kid scrawny?

[YDV offline]

70 pounds?! God that's like... anorexic or something! I think I should go have a talk with his... metabolism. >O

[Rail Runner offline]

wow...4'8...70 lbs....he is scra..errrr I mean svelte. But seriously..his metabolism must be working overtime..especially for someone his age. I wish my metabolism worked that fast.

[TB3]

Ditto - my metabolism is slow enough to loose out to snails in a race.

As for Odd, scrawny, no doubt about it - he looks like a good monster blast would split him in half!

[Kim offline]

well given those stats, he is...svelte...I've always thought Odd and Ulrich looked the same size... Am I seeing things, or does someone else think that??

[Lani offline]

Cartoons aren't usually accurate about that... but there was like one scene where they were all standing together (I think it was "Plagued") and Odd was indeed the shortest... I laughed, of course.

Ulrich's like 5'1 (my height xD; ), if you were wondering...

[Kim offline]

Then Odd can't be like 4'8...Odd and Ulrich look the same size, in height and weight really. I could be wrong as I am going from memory, but I think they are the same size

[Xenon_&_Odd offline]

Some may think he's taller because (I don't know) maybe his hair didn't get included when he got his height measured.

[Lani offline]

I usually try not to include hair that sticks up in height, it gives you a false one.

But <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v160/redangelhikaru/heightcomparison.jpg">here's</a> a little comparison... that may be a little off, though, because Yumi and Ulrich are not in line with Odd and Jeremie, so here's <A href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v160/redangelhikaru/heightagain.jpg">another</a> one, maybe a little more accurate...

And Aelita is supposed to be/probably the same height as Odd, but that's really inconsistent xD;

[Kim offline]

Wow...I was off...They always looked the same to me. Huh...well, thanks for setting me straight!

[Metrion offline]

Odd is indeed the shortest out of Team Lyoko, at least he is in the second season. The most recent episode that I've seen, Cruel Dillema, Odd was about two inches taller than Aelita, counting his hair.

[Lani offline]

Wow...I was off...They always looked the same to me. Huh...well, thanks for setting me straight!

Nah, it was nothing! ^^; I'm just really into all that heights stuff... I even have a height chart on my wall so yeah...

[Exploder offline]

I find it wierd that Odd and Ulrich look the same height and size, but Wikipedia says that

Ulrich is the silently strong introvert of Team Lyoko. He is 13 years old, 5.12' and weighs 99.2 pounds.

I just don't get it. And Jeremie being the smallest, at 68 lbs, is even weirder. There's a whole lot I could get into... cough-why yumi and sissi weigh so much more than everyone else-cough...but I'm not going to.

[Metrion offline]

Well if you remember from the episode Tip Top Shape, it shows Jeremie on the scale and it says 68 lbs! That's even worse than Odd!

Are you sure that's not in France's measuring unit?

[Exploder offline]

It showed LB on the scale... I'll see if I can get a screencap.

[animenologist offline]

On Wikipedia, all the heights and weights (save for Sissi) are based upon what was mentioned on the official sight codelyoko.com (should know, I editted the wiki height parts, myself). If you check the heights, they listed Odd as taller than Aelita, but has been shown that Aelita is taller than Odd. So the logical conclusion would be that for height, they included Odd's hair to his height. Though whether you consider the source as accurate is up to you. I actually prefer to not use the site as a source as much as possible.

EDIT: And yes, they do sometimes use lbs.

[Taelia offline]

That's because of the Americanization it's using.

[Vora Lyoko offline]

Wll I eat too much soi I be like tall as a 20 year old and I'm 16.

Odd...well why don't we send him on a junk food parade? Lets see if he fatens (sp?) up.

[Kim offline]

Ok, so Odd is definately shorter than Ulrich, but weight/size they still look the same (and so does Jeremie for that matter)...Maybe I'm just going crazy here, but they look the same size (weight) to me...

[DeadViolet offline]

I'M BACK!! anaway, when I first saw this I'm like,"OKAAYYY...."
