That makes perfect sense. And I think i remember the scene you're talking about. I saw it too but chalked it upto camera tricks to show that Hiro and his dad are from the same tree. But this theory (though less plausable) is more fun to believe.Koewn said:I'm going to add to this; I may be crazy but I swear I saw things this way, as did my wife. I'll have to see if it's still on the DVR to double check. (spoiler!):
There's a quick instant when you see Kaito holding the sword in front of him, his eyes are reflected in the blade.
It's not his face - it's the face of a younger Japanese man.
Hiro's dad is perhaps Takezo in a continual series of reincarnations, or some mechanic like that.

Conjecture, obviously, but my take on the whole thing is that whatever power might be there is there, and that the person's personality and/or life events cause a given power or set of powers to cement into them.Vocenoctum said:Yeah, we don't know much of anything about them. But, Fire Generation + Flight= Super Healing, Intangibility + Super Strength= Computer control...
SO, eh, who knows.
D.L. should have phased both himself and Nikki. Maybe he was just trying to save her, didn't have time to think?Vocenoctum said:I think he's dead. I mean, I have a problem with DL jumping behind him that quickly, and the self-sacrifice of Jessica being non-self-sacrificing was eh... (why she didn't gack Linderman and just TAKE the big pile O cash, I dunno. I'd have figured she'd have an issue with being treated like garbage too, but that at least I can reconcile easily enough.). But, Linderman actually being dead, that's fine.
It would have been better if someone had said "DL, you're going to die, only Linderman could heal this wound...", but I guess that wouldn't work.![]()
