Yeeeeea....
So ummm. It's always bothered me that Sigma was pretty dull and boring for a villain. Then it hit me. Amemiya is pretty good at foreshadowing.
This is just a theory. But if Im right, it might spoil something big for the next Garo we see...
[HIDE]Sigma is Purple from episode 15!
Episode 24 confirms the theory for me.
1. Episode 15, kid is always shown training with a Makai Priest brush. That caught my attention the 1st tym.
2. Episode 19. Remember the flashbacks of Leo and Sigma's childhood. They were completely cloaked in shadows, up until 6:42. Why show his face and pull it away again? And he does look a lot like the kid actor of Purple from ep 15.
3. Episode 24, whats up w that reaction when one of Kouga's charms got cut off in the final clash? Look at Sigma's face. Yea, its not from the cut.
4. Episode 24 and 15. I tried looking closely at the charm that fell off Kouga and the charm Purple was holding up at the end of 15. The sequencing and patterns are identical (to me).
But of course most of you would say, "yea no". "He got squashed by that monster remember?" It did bother me a lot because of that one detail (plus in Kouga's mind theyre all dead and looking over him from the "other side")...
Then I decided to watch it again...
5. Episode 15. 20:23. See those petals when he got "squashed"? Where the F did those cherry blossoms come from?
6. Episode 19, 6:36. Yeah, remember that technique? They showcased it later on in the train fight as well. Im just saying....
I might be wrong and it could be Leo. Sigma was said to show more potential as a child and he wasnt that good as a kid in ep 15. But the again how could Sigma react so strangely after seeing the charm?

So yeah, I could just be imagining all this. But if Im right. My feelings for Sigma just went up a bit. And my respect for Amemiya's storytelling and lampshading sky-rocketed.
Also a question? Is Mio played by the same actress that was nekkid and cloned in ep 19? She never talked anyway, y bother getting 2 actresses? Just get the one you managed to shoot nude and make her walk with Leo and Sigma for a bit?
***yeah sorry, I guess I was late for the party about that theory then. Some ppl already pointed it out. Goes to show how much I try to avoid spoilers by not following this thread as much ^_^
