Now that I am logged in I'll respond again to your accusations. First of all. This is a theory. This is speculation. I said I think. Do I have evidence? Heck no. There is a good chance the #6 is Aogami Pierce because Aihana Etsu describes his features perfectly. But I think that's us getting trolled, but maybe not.

You want proof? Fine. Here's some evidence. There's no proof. You can't prove anything the author hasn't explicitly written. This is writing not mathematics. You can have supportive arguments. Since you are getting personal and calling my arguments retarded, I am going to go all Stanford math/writing mode on you to prove a point!

Anyway, how else could a Kihara be influential if this Kihara did not have an esper power? This Kihara talks to Yuiitsu as if Noukan could make those influential people easily go to her for more power, without her helping him to do so. This foreshadows the idea that he can do things on his own even though he is a golden retriever. OK. What does this mean? This means first of all that he is influential.

Second of all. The kanji for his name is literally brainstem. Brainstem is an important functional part of the body that regulates important types of thought and is linked to high intelligence and I will clarify that it is located very near to the Hypothalamus a clear shout-out to Rensa even though the parts are clearly unrelated. The external arithmetic circuits mentioned here that this Kihara has sound similar to the choker that Accelerator has. The Choker was an external arithmetic circuit that powered his ability through the Sisters network. Considering the fact that the Kiharas are aware of the Sisters network (clearly), they might be tapping into it in order to power Noukan. That is speculation. Otherwise, I note that having external arithmetic circuits makes him smarter than he would be anyway. He is a golden retriever with external arithmetic circuits that is smart.

Next part of the argument.

Kamachi surreptitiously dropped a hint earlier that animals cannot become espers only because they lack a high level of intelligence. He used a researcher/teacher to explain that animals like cats think on the same level as a 2 year old child. However, he also mentions that esper power development can only occur in beings/sentient beings that have an intelligence equivalent to that of a toddler/young child of a least five years of age.

Now suppose we have a golden retriever that can criticize the plans of Kihara Yuiitsu, a Kihara who has already proven herself to be devious before and to be sinisterly brilliant. For example, she was able to brainwash Yakumi and manipulate Kakine while also positing a connection between DRAGON and Aleister. She listens to Noukan as if he is much smarter or at least wiser than her. What does this imply exactly? This first of all implies that Noukan is most likely very smart and intelligent. Since he is the most influential of the Kiharas in many different fields, assuming that his external arithmetic circuits work well, he can easily be assumed to be the smartest or at least one of the smartest of the Kiharas (otherwise he would not be so well taken care of clearly).

Next part of the argument.

Now that we know that his mental age is far above that of a five year old child who should be able to start learning esper powers. Theoretically there is no reason that he couldn't learn esper powers. (By the way, the fact that he can talk also proves his intelligence.) Now to posit the evidence that he may well be the #6 or at least some sort of powerful esper. We know that Kihara Nayumi is a level 4. She is an esper. Noukan is clearly an esper because otherwise he would not be able to singlehandedly influence such influential people in the world otherwise (this is at least a reasonable assumption to make even if it isn't necessarily true). Assuming this reasonable assumption is true, he has an esper power. He is obviously more capable than Nayumi. He is the most influential of the Kiharas. The other Kiharas are able to use level 5 powers or have used them. This makes me believe that this Kihara is most likely an esper user that is the #6.

This may be false. But there is certainly evidence and clear good logic here and some supporting evidence. There is no proof because it is speculation. I am only responding like this because you frankly pissed me off. (using the word retarded is a "no, no"; it is highly insensitive).

Anyway, I hope this helps answer some of your skepticism. I could give you a better argument, but I really don't care that much. This is just a conjecture that would be nice to see because it is exciting to think about this possibility. It would also explain the immunity of Kiharas. If one of them is the #6 (presumably their leader), then they would naturally have a lot of influence in the dark side of the city because it would be a way to get one of the level 5's to stay in line.

Most importantly it would explain why the #6 is never seen: he is a golden retriever.

Hope that helps explain my retarded argument.
