| I thought it was Yon, i dont know |
| Shi and Yon can both mean 4 in Japanese. So Shin is not incorrect Shin can also be used a prefix meaning "new" as well though but that's a different matter Basically the numbers 4 and 9 are considered unlucky numbers in Japanese because Shi and Ku are pronounced the same as "death" and "agony" respectively. Therefore people normally use their alternative names Yon and Kyuu instead of the more sinister Shi and Ku. Same is also true for 7 (despite generally being considered a lucky number) where people normally use Nana instead of Shichi since the latter at least includes the character of Shi |

| Source for the Japanese title? The kanji used for "shin" here is 神 which means "god" or related kind of stuff. |
