| The [[jumpsuit|phony exterminator]] was working for [[Mr. Bennet]]. That's why he has the same gun [[Eden]] and Mr. Bennet both use. || The exterminator's gun (''[[Don't Look Back]]'') is customized identically to Mr. Bennet's (''[[Hiros]]'') and Eden's (''[[Fallout]]''). || |
|||
|- |
|||
| The gun given to Isaac from Mr. Bennet is the same gun found next to Isaac when Hiro travels in the future and finds Isaac on the floor dead with the top of his skull removed || None. || {{note}}If this is true, all the events that are unfolding are inevitably going to lead up to the same events that happened when Hiro traveled into the future the first time, meaning Sylar would have caught up to Isaac and stolen Isaac's power of precognition. |

| The painting does not depict [[Peter]] absorbing [[Ted]]'s radiation power and [[explosion|exploding]]. The painting instead shows [[Peter]] absorbing [[Meredith]]'s power of [[pyrokinesis]]. Thus, the painting is accurate, yet Peter does not cause [[the explosion]]. || None || {{plus}}In [[Peter's visions]], he has not yet been shown burning quite as clearly or completely as the figure in the painting. |
|||
{{minus}}The effects of the explosion in his vision are otherwise very similar to the painting.<br> |
|||
{{minus}}Isaac said he painted a picture of a man exploding (''[[Fallout]]''), and tells Simone he saw what Peter did in his painting and that he's dangerous. (''[[Distractions]]'') |
|||
|- |
|||
| The person who is exploding is in control of their powers. || None || {{minus}}The look in the eyes and position of the head is not the same as that of [[Peter]] exploding in his [[visions]]. Also the positioning of the face and arms is that of someone who knows how to move energy—possibly [[Ted Sprague]] or a new [[evolved human]]. |
|||
{{note}}The easter egg that was in ''[[Graphic Novel:Fathers and Daughters|Fathers & Daughters]]'' was this painting. It was labeled "Energy Man". |
|||
<br>{{minus}}In ''[[Distractions]]'', Isaac tells Simone he has seen what Peter can do, referring to the explosion. |

|||
| [[Future Hiro]] has come from an apocalyptic future where one needs a sword to defend oneself. || None. || {{minus}}Hiro obtained the sword before the apocalyptic events. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Since a gun would be completely useless if time were frozen, he uses the sword to defeat enemies. || None || {{plus}}Hiro can move objects when time is stopped, but there's no evidence he can allow objects (like bullets) to move of their own accord. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Hiro uses the sword to channel his [[powers]]. || Hiro claims that having the sword will give him greater control of his power. (''[[Godsend]]'') || {{note}}The veracity of Hiro's belief is not yet known, but if Hiro's powers are wavering due to his shaken self-confidence, as [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] have implied, it's possible that his belief that the sword will focus his powers will be enough to do the trick. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Some [[evolved humans]], such as those with [[Claire]]'s [[regeneration]] ability, might have to be decapitated to be killed, as in the "Highlander" mythos, particularly Sylar.|| Until the tree branch is pulled out of Claire's head by the coroner, Claire's regeneration does not function. (''[[Collision]]'') || |
|||
|- |
|||
| Hiro's sword is a reference to Nightcrawler, a Marvel Comics character who possesses teleporting superpowers and uses a sword. Hiro is a member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. || None || {{minus}}This is more likely a coincidence than a rationale on Hiro's part. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Hiro's sword is actually a reference to Hiro Protagonist, a character in Neal Stephenson's book Snowcrash who also dressed in black. || None || {{minus}}This might be a coincidence. |
|||
|- |
|||
| With the sword, he will be a deadly adversary, since he will be able to stop time, attack his adversaries while they are helpless, then allow time to resume so that they will feel the effects of the wounds. It is hard to imagine how anyone will be able to defeat Hiro if he has enough warning to use his power to control time. || When Hiro "stops time", he can still interact with people and objects that are "frozen". (''[[Don't Look Back]]'') || {{plus}}This may be significant regarding Sylar's apparent resistance to bullets. The sword may be instrumental in defeating Sylar if/when the explanation behind his "bulletproof" nature is further explained. |
|||
|- |
|||
| The sword isn't for [[Hiro]], it's for [[Niki]]. The sword will allow her two sides to be integrated and bring balance to her personality, giving her full access to her power.|| None || {{plus}}[[Takezo Kensei]], the samurai that originally possessed the sword was feared by everyone because he was brutal and powerful, just like [[Jessica]]. <br>{{minus}}However, if the sword is meant for Niki, it's not meant for her for another 5 years, at a minimum, as [[Future Hiro]] possessed the sword when he met with [[Peter]]. |
|||
|- |
|||
| The sword belonged to [[Future Hiro]], but in this present it is meant for [[Sylar]]. His uncontrolled power and oppressive childhood combined together are what were turning him into a psychopath. With the sword he gains control over both and becomes sane again and tries to atone for his murderous rampage, and at some point before he gains full control of himself is transported to Feudal Japan. || None. || {{plus}}The beginning of the story of the ancient wielder of the sword, [[Takezo Kensei]], sounds more like Sylar than Hiro. <br>{{minus}}However, this would require [[Sylar]] to either acquire [[Hiro]]'s ability to bend time and space or [[Peter]]'s ability to mimic the powers of others, and the depictions of [[Takezo Kensei]] resemble Hiro more than they resemble [[Sylar]]. |
|||
|- |
|||
| The sword was [[Hiro]]'s. [[Future Hiro]] traveled back in time and was known as [[Takezo Kensei]]. || The painting of Takezo Kensei bears a distinct resemblance to Future Hiro. Both have long hair and a soulpatch. (''[[Godsend]]'') || {{note}}This is a corollary of a [[Theories:People#Hiro Nakamura|previous theory]]. <br>{{minus}} The personality of Takezo Kensei (brutal) does not mesh with the personality shown by either [[Hiro]] or [[Future Hiro]]. |
|||
:{{plus}}Future Hiro tried to kill Sylar with his sword. (''[[String Theory]]'') |
|||
{{minus}} In an [http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Interviews-Features/Article/default.aspx?posting=%7B0B10D3E0-C168-467C-90A9-F1DCD2CF97B2%7D interview], George Takei strongly implied that Takezo Kensei is Hiro's ancestor. |
|||
|- |
|||
|The sword was never really needed for Hiro to use his powers. It's merely the [[wikipedia:placebo effect|placebo effect]] which seems to restore his powers. || Although [[Hiro]] believes his powers are depleted, in a moment of stress he's able to reverse time relative to [[Hope]]'s bullet, a feat he hadn't accomplished before even when his powers were at full strength. (''[[Unexpected]]'') || {{plus}}Hiro's waning powers were more of a "mind over matter" concept, as he was losing faith in himself, but when he saw the sword and the story attached to it, his faith fell on the sword, not himself. When he obtained the sword, his faith returned and he was able to use his [[Space-time manipulation|power]]. |

| Isaac's sketchbook contains sketches (or paintings) showing how Sylar is stopped (and possibly killed).|| Isaac gave away his sketchbook to a [[Courier fanboy|courier]]. Shortly before he was killed, [[Isaac]] told Sylar that he knew how he would be stopped. When Sylar demanded Isaac to show him, Isaac told him that the images were gone.(''[[.07%]]'')||Could also be that the defeat of Sylar is in the 9th wonders comic he sent off to be published |

| [[Felipe Acerra]], not [[Gabriel Gray]], is [[Patient Zero]]. || Felipe is the first name listed on the list. (''[[Homecoming]]'')|| |
|||
{{minus}}There is no clear evidence that the list is in any particular order.<br> |
|||
{{minus}}[[Mohinder]] has referred to his father's belief that [[Sylar]] was [[Patient Zero]] multiple times. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'', ''[[Parasite]]'') |
|||
<br>{{plus}}[[Chandra]] assembled [[the list]], so he would presumably know that Felipe was "Patient Zero" if his appearance as the first listed had any significance. |

| The file name of the Lonestar File, SEA:V5J1K2/P/L, contains coded information || None || |
|||
{{note}}The events described in the file take place in [[Vietnam]]. "SEA:V" could refer to "South East Asia:Vietnam". The remaining characters could describe the soldiers, the mission, or the location. |
|||
{{plus}}In particular, some have hypothesized the "/P/L" refers to [[Mr. Petrelli|Petrelli]] and [[Mr. Linderman|Linderman]], though there is currently no evidence to support such a hypothesis. |
|||
{{plus}}If the letters do refer to the soldiers, "V", "J", and "K" could represent [[Amarillo]], [[Loredo]], and [[San Antonio]], and the numbers some sort of status code. If "P" and "L" represent [[Dallas]] and [[Austin]], the separation and lack of a code number could refer to the fact that they survived the mission. |

| [[Mohinder]]'s [[Mohinder's taxi license|taxi license]] is a fake. || The expiration date on the license is February 30, 2007.
