Granted, it is very plausible that there is in fact no meaning to the title cards, that it was simply because it made the title cards look cool and give it an “edgy” look. It wasn’t until the release of the sixth episode that I became suspicious, and the release of the seventh episode title that I began to consider that the title cards had a purpose as well. They should not exist, yet they stand strong in a world of deception and secrets while they make the city fall around them, all in the hopes of burying their own tragic truth.Zankyou no Terror: Decoding The Title Cards įour episodes in, I assumed that the title cards were simply catchy titles that highlighted the A’s and &’s (as & stands for ‘and’, and therefore another way of highlighting the ‘A’). Zankyou no Terror tells the story of Nine and Twelve, the two boys behind the masked figures of Sphinx. Unable to stop the mass panic quickly spreading through the city and desperate for any leads in their investigation, the police struggle to act effectively against these terrorists, with Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki caught in the middle of it all. In it, two teenage boys who identify themselves only as "Sphinx" directly challenge the police, threatening to cause destruction and mayhem across Tokyo. The public are clueless-until, six months later, a strange video makes its way onto the internet.

The government is shattered by their inability to act, and the police are left frantically searching for ways to crack down the perpetrators. Painted in red, the word "VON" is all that is left behind after a terrorist attack on a nuclear facility in Japan. Lisa follows Twelve on the street, where he reminds her that if she reveals their secret, he will kill her.
In privacy, Kurahashi reveals the theft of plutonium to Shibazaki, and his suspicion of the connection to the bombers. After the bomb discharges in the district office instead of the lab, Kurahashi asks for Shibazaki to involve himself in the case. Shibazaki phones the chief of police, Kurahashi, with alternate interpretation to the riddle, and suggests that the bomb will be in a police district office. After finding what appears to be the answer to the riddle, police move on the suspected location, a DNA laboratory. Nine and Twelve, aware of this, release a second video with a riddle from Oedipus Rex referring to the location of their next bombsite. The police force gathers for a comprehensive briefing of the day`s events, where they become aware of the video on social media. Nine and Twelve return without Lisa to their residence, to start work on a cellphone bomb. During her tirade, she reveals that Lisa`s father has left the family. Lisa returns home from the incident shaken, but her mother (unaware of Lisa`s location during the bombings) breaks down and berates her for ignoring her text messages. It is revealed that the bombing and subsequent building collapse, despite the large scale of destruction involved, left several with minor injuries, and no fatalities.
