So while reading some DC last night I noticed something interesting. In some of the names with characters that have a “secretâ€

Mizunashi Rena = 007 (Duh. I cheated).


Eh? Kuro and Akai. Do we have clash of red and black inside a person here.

[Vicky]

XDDDD Who knows.

[Akonyl]

Chekhov Macguffin made a big Okiya/Akai post somewhere, and she goes on about Okiya's name in there. I forget what exactly it all is, but there's more to the name that insinuates that he's Akai other than that.

It's about the two names being related via a Gundam character.

[Akonyl]

yeah, Char Aznable and his voice actor, but I just don't know what exactly the relation is

[HADAA]

Given that Gosho loves name-play, most of the time he makes the characters appearing in the same case follow the same theme, not just key characters.

nashi-re(i)-na(na)

Lulz, way to go me for pointing out the obvious and stating something in a section of Checkov’s list that I didn’t get to yet.

And don’t worry, saiyanja, because I don’t get it. 0; Although I see why she’s 007, just not with the name. >_>;

This is what I get for not watching that many movies. 0;

[Abs.]

Akai explains it at one point

水無怜奈 = Mizunashi Rena

Mizu nashi = no water = 0
Re(i) = Zero = 0
Na(na) = Seven = 7
