History WMG / VividredOperation

[[WMG: There is an [[{{Instrumentality}} Evangelion Plot]] in there somewhere.]]

One of the conditions of Rie's contract with them is that she must attend school (she even lampshades on it). The reason she must attend school is because after destroying Akane's world the Alone will rebuild Rie's world AND Akane's world and connect them making traveling between them (and therefore making friends with each other) possible.

Actually based on the "Akane = Nanomachine Colony" WMG above. Rei is ostensibly the 'support' Alone with the ability to put other Alone into 'overdrive' and increase their powers. However, in the accident several years ago, Rei was split from the main body of the Alone before it perished (leading to the DeceasedParents memory and her limited empowering ability). The crow is actually either another fragment of her main body as a whole Alone or a representative of the other Alones, sent to urge Rei to continue her duties.

* And now, the teasers show that Episode 6 is titled "The Story of How Kenjiro tries to intensify the friendship power of Akane and friends, which results in something unbelievable". Will that something unbelievable be Vividred? The answer this Friday.

* Episode 5 states she had 11 total when she started.

* There is no proof that the Alone caused the first meltdown. We only have an unusual floating red ribbon of energy to suggest it was sabotage, and even that doesn't suggest it was an Alone.

* The Alone will not follow through with the contract and instead tries to destroy this world too. Rei will begin fighting along side Akane and co. to defeat the Alone and become friends with them.

** Rei will double cross the Alone and destroy it (with or without helping/help from Akane and co.) and then befriend them.

* [[spoiler:Neither confirmed nor jossed. The only penalty we are aware of is that Rei's parents will not be brought back to life if she runs out of arrows. No word yet on if she too will die.]]

** [[spoiler:While there is no proof it was intentional the incident when the Manifestation Engine overloaded did destroy whatever it was that Rei used to live.]]

** [[spoiler: She's fully supporting the Alone.]]

** [[spoiler: Jossed for the crow (god?) that gave Rei her powers.]]

* [[spoiler: Jossed for the part where the parallel dimension is where the Alone live.]]

Her line "Home run"/"'''''homura'''n''" in Episode 4 practically confirms it. [[spoiler: Possibly she's trying to protect the Vivid team, in order to fufill her role in this world as Madoka's prophet.]]

The Episode 5 preview shows that the 'flower' on her chest are actually ten ethereal feathers nailed on her chest, on the area near her heart. Whenever she fires one of those arrows that makes the Alone power up, one of those feathers vanishes. My theory is that those feathers represent her life force, and should all of them vanish, Rei will die or [[FateWorseThanDeath something even worse will happen to her]]. At some point in the series, drama will ensue because they are about to vanish completely.

Having the same writer/director aside, one can assume that Professor Isshki read the notes of one professor Miyafuji, and therefore it's not too big a leap in logic to conclude that the Vivid-System is merely the next evolutionary step of the Striker Units, being both magical devices that empower scantily clad pubescent girls with flight and super strength.....

NOTE: It's not a spoiler nor a wild mass guessing that Akane is gonna give a transformation key to Himawari, it's pretty obvious, since promotional posters show Himawari clad in the same outfit as the other three girls.

The reason it's not mass-produced is because only Akane can ride it. And the reason why only Akane can ride it is because she's a human-sized Manifestation Engine, the core of her being changed after the accident in the flashback.
