== Himari will be dead again by the end of the series, this time for good. ==
Before then, she will deliver a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech to her brothers regarding some morally questionable things they will have done to prolong her life a few months, having found out about all the Penguindrum business. She'll probably forgive them for it before dying, though -- she doesn't seem vindictive.
* It's too early to say since there isn't much focus on Himari but at least the Hat can possess her easily so she probably doesn't fight against the possession and by extension the prolonging of her life. And some people have noted that her theme seems to be escapism. Those who want to escape have something they disagree with. In her case, maybe her illness?
 
Line 88:
It's odd that in episode 12, when Kenzan-papa is "working" {{spoiler|in the attacks}}, he's only told "it's a boy!" instead of "two boys!". It would also explain why Shouma referred to Himari as "''your'' sister" when calling Kanba out in the first episode and then correcting himself, why Himari's possessor only used Kanba's life energy in the survival strategy and Shouma is always thrown down the chute (she can't use Shouma's energy because he's not as directly related to Himari as much as Kanba is). Therefore, Shouma isn't Kanba's twin brother, but a boy around his same age (maybe the child of {{spoiler|one of the victims of the bombs}}?) raised alongside him and Himari.
* But why Shouma is practically identical to Kanba, if this is indeed the case?
** Hm... While Shouma does resemble Kanba, they're not ''identical'': to start, [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes|Kanba has rather narrow eyes when compared to Shouma's rounder ones]], and then we have the different hair colors (Considering that they're presented as ''fraternal'' twins, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twins#Fraternal.2FSororal_.28dizygotic.29_twins this makes sense]). Also, while Kanba is basically a younger and redheaded Kenzan and Himari is a teenaged Chiemi, Shouma doesn't bear ''such'' strong physical resemblances to the parents (him having Chiemi's personality is another story). And ''if'' they're two unrelated children about the same age, it could handwaved by presenting them as fraternal twins, since fraternals don't ''have'' to look the same. It's still very heavy speculation, but not completely impossible... we'll have to see.
** Another possibility is that Shouma is {{spoiler|a boy rescued by the Takakuras from being [[Ret Gone|Ret Goned]] in the Child Broiler.}} Which {{spoiler|may have been [[Jossed]] in episode 19: he WAS at the Broiler, but not in the circumstances we think of.}}
** As of episode 20? {{spoiler|Jossed! Himari is a Child Broiler kid, while Kanba is from the Natsume clan and Shouma is the only Takakura biological kid. Oh, the [[Irony]].}}
*** {{spoiler|Kanba doesn't have to be of any relation to Natsumes to be called "onii-san" by Masako. It's actually a normal, if rather informal, way to address a stranger. Though this theory was officially confirmed as of Ep. 21, when we see the funeral of their dad.}}
**** And then episode 23 states that {{spoiler|Kanba ''has'' a twin sibling... [[Half -Identical Twins|and it's Masako]].}}
