[[WMG: Grevanas will brainwash Nana and Nefilforan to fight the heroes]]
Grevanas has no way of knowing it, but Nana has his staff built into her cyborg components. If he ever finds out, he could potentially take control of her through a connection to the staff. Nefilforan is vulnerable to being compromised due to her working closely with Nana. Given the odd timing at which Nefilforan was introduced to the series, combined with her being a warrior powerful enough to threaten Koutarou, she may have been created to help set up this kind of scenario where the heroes are forced to fight their allies.
And then Elexis and Maya makes their triumphant return to bail the heroes out, with Maya fighting a 1-on-1 duel with Nana in order to free her.

[[WMG: Reincarnation]]
It's established that Harumi is the reincarnation of Alaia. This is usually stated as being because of the SoulJar properties of Signaltin.
Might there be other reincarnations?
This suggestion exists because the spirits of the Ancient Forthorthian soldiers in Rumstock Cemetery on Forthorthe appear to recognize Theia as Princess Charl. While this could be due to the synchronicity between the Theia and Charl as recognized by Clan, the ghost soldiers are recognizing people by their auras rather than their physical appearance.

[[WMG: Did Elfaria come to Earth?]]
While not discussed in canon, Elfaria had twenty years between meeting Koutarou and Clan during their stop in Forthorthe (described in Volume 14) and when the Invasion started. It seems likely that she got Earth's galactic position from Clan (perhaps unintentionally as part of the Blue Knight control suit data dump she solicited) and may not have needed to confirm that before sending Theia. That said, twenty years is more than enough time for her to make a solo journey to Earth to confirm them and perhaps check Koutarou's story more closely.
