Episode 9 of 11 came out yesterday on 9/11. You tell me. 'Mocking' is too strong of a word though

They aren't mocking it. Various anime didn't air a episode last week. The towers is likely a reference to 9/11 but that is the image most have when they think of terrorism.

And so the numbers assigned to Sphinx are 9 and 12..

Obviously it is not a coincidence but as another member pointed out I don't believe this is intended to be 'mocking.' If you're not used to the Psychological genre then the finesse and complexity of the execution of this series may be overlooked and you'll be more prone to feel that way.

Obviously it was planned that way but 'mocking' is a strong word, it's nothing major.

It's more than just simply mocking it, it's almost as if they are offering up their own theory on what happened. They speak how the steel beams were structurely special as they we're 4 inches thicker than regular steel beams and that a normal bomb could not melt or destroy the beams and thAt a special bomb containing "termite" would hAve had to of been used which is a "conspiracy theory" many scientist and structural engineers say happened on 9-11 as well as regular citizens. Not to mention the huge debre cloud that forms as the building is "collapsing" and then starts to envelop over almost the whole city while showing people on the ground running trying to escape it along with a aftermath picture showing huge pile of rubble with a few of the beams/walls still sticking up from the rubble exactly what pics of 9-11 looked like so idk,you decide what the meaning is.

This reminds me of something I just read recently:

On a YouTube video, an Indian fellow commented on the subject of pianos. The YouTuber answered the Indian fellow and ended the comment with "...but I see where you're coming from". The Indian fellow went bananas saying he/she'll unsubscribe from the channel as the YouTuber is racist. He/she thought it was a reference to his/her nationality as I believe he/she had had experiences with racism.

Please, don't take things too literal/personal. :)

Oh come on, you don't really think that's a coincidence.
But yeah, 'mocking' is a strong word. This is a show on the mentality behind terrorism,
(arguably though, since these teenagers are hardly anything like the kind of terrorists you'd see on the news) and the Japanese government in the show is said to be unhappy with US intrusion..

Personally, I believe they used the burning building to mimic the twin towers because that past incident is practically the world known symbol for terrorism.

And that's all I believe it to be, a symbol of terrorism. Which, looking at it, ~is~ a solid way for a title to get it's point across.
