Anyone notice how some of the charecters are named after numbers.
Un: Number 1
Troi pernounced Trowa I believe:
(the number 3, the pilot uses Gundam 03)
Quatre: the number 4, the pilot has Gundam 04.
Treize: number 13.
And I think Noin is a number as well. Can anyone explain the signifigance of the ones I missed?
Cinc (pernounced Sanc as in the Sanc kingdom.)

I have noticed that, althought the Trowa thing is a little new to me, I did realize Treize and Quatre were named after French numbers, but Dou, and Duex(think about it)

There's a number section at 'Counting for Lunatics' that manages to be both informative and funny: http://www.dreamwater.org/deathscythe
There's also a bunch of math stuff with the likes of 1x2, 5x5, etc.
