* ChekhovsGun: Dr. Alessandro Fermi's explanation of Coupling to Aoba touches on quantum mechanics and he states that the reason why you can "sense" what's going to happen while in Coupling mode is because your thoughts have been moved to the future by a few seconds; essentially, that Coupling is like doing a small scale time leap. [[spoiler: The final episode reveals that the time portal opened because of Aoba & Hina's [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale insanely high synchronization rate while Coupling]] and making contact with the Gorgon's massive energy blast while they were Coupled.]]

** Episode 13 gives the full explanation: [[spoiler: Hina has been in an unending stable time loop. Viktor Ryazan finds her in Zagreb, she grows up, meets Aoba, learns that she saved him in the past, and then deliberately goes into the singularity to make a stable time loop (and be an ontological paradox). In almost every timeline, Aoba tries to save her, but is stopped by Dio, and Hina is sent back in time along with Bizon. That said, Aoba decides to ScrewDestiny this time.]]
