Even if he and Nine didnвЂ™t (nor intended to) survive the gestation of the better world they sought to build, they didnвЂ™t take Lisa down with them. Neither were ever ones for true, honest human interaction, let alone feeling what it was like to care for someone so much that youвЂ™d do anything to save them, which Twelve got that with Lisa. ItвЂ™s also worth noting that after the end of the facility, she was and remained alone right up until her final confrontation with the others, while at least Nine and Twelve had each other, which had a grounding effect.Д®ven so, just before the bomb goes off, when Lisa isnвЂ™t sure whether the world is about to end, Twelve tells her he and Nine were never needed by anyone until they met her and everything changed. She represented an alternate effect of Athena: that of unchecked chaos and rage.

I will say that even in a series of a mere eleven episodes, FiveвЂ™s arc was ultimately a bit of a detour, though as the only other surviving Athena subject, her actions tore Nine and Twelve apart, threatening the whole enterprise, only to bring them back together as strong as ever following her demise. Justice tastes a lot better when it is acknowledged not just by oneself or amongst a few individuals, but by the same system that once helped shelter the wrongdoers.

They unwittingly helped him to solve the case that had ruined his career, and finally learn what those he suspected of wrongdoing were up to, and putting them away for it. Shibazaki became the Oedipus to Nine and TwelveвЂ™s Sphinx, looking past easy answers to solve the riddles of where they came from, what they were doing, and why. For at least a time, the EMP emitted from the bomb reverted the country to a far simpler state. While it was yet another means of gaining attention and exposure among the masses, it also served as a firm counter-riposte to the efforts of the members of the Athena project to use technology to artificially enhance mankind. The most stunning yet is the high-altitude detonation of the stolen atomic bomb, which ended up not harming anyone but disabled all electronics in Japan. With increasingly stunning yet nonlethal attacks, they gradually built up their stature, until no one would be able to forget what they did, and by extension, that they lived. Nine and TwelveвЂ™s plan wasnвЂ™t about revenge, but about making sure they and the others werenвЂ™t forgotten that those still alive who were responsible were plucked from beneath the rocks theyвЂ™d hidden under. The perpetrators of the failed Athena Project meant for its child subjects to be discarded and forgotten.
