Talk:Number Six/@comment-24.189.134.157-20150414235409

Did anyone else get a feeling that the events of NT13 involving St. Germain were meant to foreshadow the Number Six's role? Like how in some anime, the first scene of the first episode will be exactly the same as the last scene of the last episode, more or less. Except, in this case, the #6 may later assume a similar role as St. Germain, using those who borrowed the #6's identity.

Considering esper abilities... maybe it's something stupidly specific, which is why the #6 has to have so many people borrow his identity? If it is, I'd guess it's something like an "identity trade," where, by giving his identity to others, he can assume theirs fully, including their esper ability. But that'd be multi-skill, which has been stated to be impossible. In which case, it might just serve as a shapeshifting ability, allowing him to perfectly copy their body, and maybe their memories, among other things.

Or the #6 could just be having many people borrowing his identity for the sake of not being spotted carrying out plans. Using the idea that "if you stay in a crowd, you're harder to notice," or something like that, the #6 could be trying to use the actions and motives of the others known as the "Number 6" to hide from Academy City's higher ups.
