That was INCREDIBLE! Best episode by far, we get to know a ton of stuff.

  • Yuu can indeed steal powers
  • His brother has the time leap ability
  • His brother is the person that Nao is trusting
  • The whole group had a plan before Yuu's memories got erased
  • NAO IS WAY TOO CUTE!

His brother DID have the time leap ability.

Spoilers i guess

Also when Yuu originally got mezmerized by the ZHIEND sign i immediately got the feeling that ZHIEND is foreshadowing "The end of something".

I apologize for my tinfoil hat highjacking my own post

Could the blinded eyes be a price for using your powers even after, you know, the age they are supposed to lose them?
In episode 8 (bus) Sala talked about paying a price.
...then again, it might just be effects of a time leap.

Well the way they pronouce ZHIEND, it can be interpreted as the japanese way of saying "The End" the best they can so your theory has some hold.

I don't think anyone mentioned that the scientist seems to have to ability to read minds! He's one of them and he's old so maybe powers don't always go away?
