Hopefuly the coverage of Sekirei comes to an end at Ani-nouto. Unless someone like Lawson or Badger suddenly produces an amazing reflection post that I can link, these small notes are it.

• If a programmer wrote the script, Yume would've been #0 [but see also the discussion of numbers below].
• Missed opportunity for a joke: someone should've been Sekirei #007.
• Twins have different personalities: Hikari is boisterous and Hibiki is shy.
• The number 88 is supposed to be a good luck number in CJK, although I'm not up on the details of this superstition. It marks Musubi as "lucky sekirei". Similarly, number 4 means death; this is why Karasuba is #04. Other numbers may be similary significant, aside from obvious rankings (low-numbered Sekirei are generally assumed more powerful by others... with the only exception being #02 Matsu, I guess).
• I had no idea that shoguns had such highly structured harems. Must watch more period pieces.

Unexplained, or things which I missed:

• Why does Seo make or permit the twins to fight wingless Sekirei? He's never around to wing them, not to mention that twins apparently look dim on it.
• The stats sheet for Tsukiumi shows three types of match ends: "Win", "Lose", "Defeated". How does "Defeat" differ from "Loss"? Sekirei either loses the mark or not, isn't that right? Is a draw possible?
