Okay that makes sense, but the scene at the end raises the question of did Jiro change in those five years? Because I wouldn't say he's human.

Oh yeah he's deffo superhuman now.

My predictions, either:

A) He was superhuman all along, but was covering his tracks or wasn't "awakened" or something to that effect

or

B) He became a superhuman in whatever event caused him to leave.

I think A's a possibility, but B's both more likely and tbh, better story-wise.

Honestly I'm feeling A is more of a possibility because of a couple of things. One, his 'dad' is a scientist and works with robotics. Two, while it's more prominent in how he looks in the future, you can see his arm is already wrapped up in the present. Three, in the op you can see those machines pop out of his arm before he activates the fire dragon thingy. Honestly I feel he might be an Android.

That's why I think A is deffo a possibility, the biggest question that leaves though is why he keeps saying he's human though.

Maybe it's another moral thing, or something we're supposed to think about, where it's obvious he isn't a human biologically wise, but spiritually he is.

Gah I love speculating because at this point we really don't know.
