| I love the opening and also feel that it has some foreshadowing in it. Has anybody else noticed at the part in the opening where 9 and 12 are standing with their backs facing each other that not only do the numbers '9' and '12' flash briefly, but there are also what appears to be to different words with latin letters next to them. Though it is to brief and faint to tell what they say. http://animeaura.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ZnT-OP-1-2.png I mean I may be looking too far into it, by why would there just be random words next to them? I also thought Nine falling off the building was probably an indicator of his fate, although it could just be a metaphor, not him actually jumping off a building for real. Edit: Oh my Gosh. So I looked up the words next to Nine and Twelve respectively as they appear to say "Huginn and Muninn" and this is what I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huginn_and_Muninn Huginn (Old Norse for thought) and Muninn (Memory/Mind) were ravens who would fly around the world and bring news to the God Odin... Interesting... Nine is the cold factual one while Twelve seems to have some sort of memorizing ability. (Remember when Nine told him it was unnatural to remember the names of girls from other classes?) |

BRK25 said: Dude, look up the numbers five, twelve and nine in arcana tarot cards. Five is Heirophant, Nine is the Hermit and Twelve is the Hanged Man, if you read the characteristics of each, they fit their personalities or maybe their fates. Hmm... I do see the similarities, however I'm not sure where to find where it says the fate of the cards. And it's hard to tell with Five since we haven't actually met her yet. We'll have to see how it turns out. |

Apparently Nine and Twelve are trying to expose government's secrets which might be experiments and such. Therefore they are spreading informations worldwide to the people, and that's exactly what Odin's ravens Muninn and Huginn were doing according to Wikipedia. People = Odin. |

Oh nice thinking, I wasn't sure what Odin represented. I love all the subtle yet not subtle references. |
BRK25 said: Heirophant represents Divine law and the bridge between heaven and hell. IF nine and Twelve are single handedly destroying the department and she's coming to help out Shibazaki, I see her as an equalizer. And for twelve, think about the idea of sacrifice and how Nine quoted he should have sacrificed his queen. Other issues involve Twelve's motive since twelve isn't too obedient with Nine, like an accomplice but not a direct partner. Yea I can see Five trying to compromise with Nine and Twelve because she must have some idea of what they are after. |

I also think that makes sense! I mean all the times we see ravens flying in the opening and the ending! But we have to consider that in the opening is mentioned that they (nine and twelve?) have single wings if I do not remember it wrong. "With the single bent wing we were given" is what the subtitles said. Hmm, it does mention on the wikipedia page that Huginn and Muninn were often considered extensions of Odin himself, so maybe it's like saying they are one. Or maybe it's just saying that because of 9 and 12's upbringing they are 'broken' and cannot truly fly. The former makes more since though because before that the lyrics say something like "I touch you and know I am never alone". No one really loved 9 and 12 so they only had each other. Also, at the moment when it says "the single bent wing we were given" it shows three ravens. Two black and one white. The white one is most likely Five. |
| Okay I've got a lot of theory-crafting based off religious backgrounds of the Sphinx, christ and his twelve disciples which if you have some time feel free to read and give me your opinions. Spoilers below if you haven't seen up to episode 5: Most of that is just my opinion based of the biblical references that this show has shown thus far and is purely speculation that is not confirmed. |

| The reference to Huginn and Muninn is really interesting... Now when I rewatch the opening I realize there's a lot of random texts interspersed throughout the sequences.. majority of them are hard to decipher though. Such as this one: http://imgur.com/Ju0ewaT It reads 'indelied-' something I think, no idea what it means. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking haha. EDIT: Someone from Tumblr played around on Google Translate and found that the letters say something like inde lie glora which translates roughly in latin to say: “from there he got his glory” http://taelea.tumblr.com/post/94286405148/hello-uh-i-think-i-figured-something-out-from-the |

And at the right side something hard to decipher is written too! This could be again a reference!! Nice! I wonder what it says on the far right. Probably something related to the "inde le glora". It looks kinda like "memndo" or "mergendo". Edit: Hmm, google translate says "monendo" is Latin for Warning Also, this might be nothing, but how come the number 9 on the left of Nine in the same screenshot appears to also say 6? |

| I just listened the full OP and took a glance of its meaning. It's hinted on the lyrics that Twelve and Nine might die on the end, after they show the world "something"... well and then they basically disappear like a dust ///just my interpretation |
