I think if he's any character we already know, it's far more likely that he's Ganu Yoshida as a young man. We know next to nothing about his life as yet, other than that he lost his mother and that he later took over the company now known as Tagruato.<BR/><BR/>It could be that this comic cuts pretty fluidly between past and present. Should be interesting to see what the translation brings.<BR/><BR/>BTW, anybody know what the name "Aiba" means in Japanese?

As for the handcuffed guy in the news video, he looks like an executive with a briefcase handcuffed to his arm, probably containing important information. My final observation is the final panel, looks like there's almost a (psychic?) connection between the guy and the monster.supremechancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185178880203474916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-37857031573451817532008-01-16T10:07:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:07:00.000-05:00ActiBook ProtectionActiBook ProtectionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-26769233571207210022008-01-16T10:03:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:03:00.000-05:00I'm really new to this ARG so this theory could be...I'm really new to this ARG so this theory could be old, but could the monster be Nariko?

So the BIG WHALE monster theory has merit.<BR/><BR/>I agree with CHRONOS. What is with the JAPANESE comic, they should have written it in ENGLISH.
