That means he has recurrent nightmares based on his memory of leaving Five behind, and some of them are frankly terrorifying. This fact has tormented Nine for the rest of his life, as he has Post Traumatic Stress disorder. We also should mention here that Nine escaped with Twelve from the experimental facility, but Five was not able to follow them. They played chess frequently, but Five was never able to defeat Nine. And among them, Five and Nine created a particular bond, as their intelligence level was similar. The children had numbers as names and were divided from the world.

Five becomes a great opponent for this two, but especially for Nine. While Nine and Twelve team up to become the terrorist duo known as Sphinx, it was not revealed that Five was alive until later episodes. And yet, this anime would not have been successful if not for its fast plot pace, unusual premise including terrorism and its short but well developed cast of characters.Īmong the cast of characters, we have three youngsters who survived a cruel experiment by the Japanese government: Five, Nine and Twelve.

Zankyou no Terror was produced by Mappa (Kids on the Slope, Days), directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) and musicalized by Yoko Kanno (Wolf’s Rain, Macross Frontier). Yes my dear otakus, we came back to talk about one of those animes that was an authentic surprise. Read at your own risk or choose another article to read instead.
