When i was watching 'How to stop an exploding man' i noticed that the blood shape left by Sylar when he was 'dragged' off looked alot like a wolf - i was suspicious but thought perhaps it was just a coincidence.

However

In 'Four months later' the blood pool around Kaito definately looks like an upside down raven. Now that makes me think that perhaps it's not a coincidence and the producers are creating these shapes for a reason. Whether it is just to make us think something is going on i dont know, but it's interesting none the less.

What do you think?

Sylars blood - wolf

Kaito's blood - raven/crow

I think it could be a coincidence, or you could be on to something. Good spot.

What about Peter's blood from "Homecoming"?

Just checked tat and Peter just has a normal pool shape - i'm still going to be keeping an eye on future blood pools though!

Haha, thats trippy..I always thought on Sylars, but wouldn't have linked it to Kaito's..good job.

kaito's blood pool looks more like a horse to me for some strange reason.
i'll take a better look at it later.
i honestly don't see a raven.
maybe its me though. i stare at it later and try to see one.

it could be a coincedence. sylar's prolly was if we didn't see kaito's, but i think we need one more to actually convince ourselves that there is something more then just "a blood pool"

'Of all of them, I never thought it would be you...'

Them? Maybe They have something do to with this blood shape thing... That would explain why Peter doesn't have one...

~astrodan~

excuse my bad drawing but this is where i see the raven (image is rotated)

Yes i agree that i need to see atleast one more to be convinced its not just a coincidence, but even if it is i still think it adds something fun to look out for.

** EDIT - 'chuckle' i've just noticed how happy my supposidly evil raven looks **

much better! thank you

i think it would help if i clicked the picture! lol.

(im at school and i don't want the teachers know im on here)

Definately an upside down horse but it could be the raven too.

Good eye! I would've never thought to look at the blood puddles.

In Sylar's blood puddle though, aside from a wolf, I kind of see Sylar after he was stabbed by Hiro. And the part of the puddle where it shows he was dragged looks like it could be the sword.

I can see how Kaito's blood looks like a raven, but I also see a seahorse for some reason

This all could mean something...or the crew was really bored and feeling artsy so they intentionally made the blood in shapes of animals

I can sort of see the horse now but i must admit the second it first came on screen I exlaimed 'it's a crow!' (my brother will confirm that!) - wierd that we all see different things.

But i think you're right, the crew were probably sitting around lunch one day and decided 'It seems whatever we hint at in this show people go online and debate about for days - so lets have some fun and confuse the heck out of them!' - so they drew animal pictures in blood, and of course, we talk about it for days

Bring on the next bloody death so we can further our hypothesis

It's obvious that whenever somebody dies and leaves a pool of blood on the floor, Mr. Muggles appears in lightning speed and licks up some spots to make them look like a random animal for no reason. That's something along the lines of what you guys want to hear as a logical explanation for them, right?

*Smirks*

Some people watch too much Dexter if they start taking bloodsplatter analysis into Heroes...

Actually this is a good catch, I agree, maybe there is something in this? Wait... are we all hoping someone else will die so we can screencap them and go "Ooo... its a Butterfly!"

To quote writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite, "sometimes a bloodstain is just a bloodstain."

Amen.

How did Kaito leak so much blood so quickly, anyway?

If you look at the picture sideways, the blood pool and Kaito's body look like a horse rearing up on its hind legs.

At least to me it does lol.

if u see the above quoted post, someone drew in the raven for us to see. the first time i saw it, it was a horse too lol.

Giddy up! (sorry for bad drawing, it's not my forté!)

Maybe it's just a nod to Kaitos connection to Kensei that we are all speculating about, not a mystery in itself just an acknowledgement.

wow i would've never thought of that. Good theory!

Wow. That's pretty interesting.

Good find, and I'll deff be checking the blood puddles out a bit more.

I think both pools look more like dogs, which leads me to suspect Mr. Muggles as the obvious killer.

But in all seriousness, the "wolf" shape at first I thought nothign of, but now that you point out this other seemingly animal like shape (whether it's a bird or horse) might mean that there is some connection. What about Linderman, what did his blood pool look like?

Linderman didnt have a blood pool, sadly.

However i've watched the Lizards preview and noticed that the photo of Kaito that Noah looks at in the newpaper has a different blood pool shape that that in the previous episode. So perhaps it is just random but it seems wierd that the crew would let such a 'goof' slip through un-noticed, or maybe they just thought we weren't paying any attention to random blood pool

Nice drawing, I was afraid I was going to have to do one lol

I never really noticed that at all, thats sweet. I love Sylar's its perfectly clear, no doubt that its a wolf, although, Kaito's is kind of iffy but still sweet. How many pools of blood have we seen? I know Isaac's doesn't show anything unless my imagination has gone to sh.. Can't wait till momma Petrelli or the next "Special" to go just to check which is a bit sad, hoping someone will die so we can see a pool of blood. Anyway, GREAT find Sjames86! Thanks



EDIT: so I was looking at Kaito's blood again kinda looks more like Pegasis to me with his body included and everything. Just me, anyone else see it?

Why are all of you wasting your time speculating about something that the writers addressed months ago and denied? Do you think they are lying about Sylar's bloodstain just being a bloodstain? Or do some of you just ignore any posts that counter your pet theories? Seriously, people's brains are wired to notice patterns, even patterns that aren't intentionally placed there. Like when you think a cloud is shaped like a cow or something. If you see something in the blood, it's in your head, in my opinion.

Why? Beacuse it's fun! It doesnt matter if it's actually nothing, or just our brains playing tricks (of which i know all about being a psychology post-graduate), it's still fun to chat with people from all around the world about a common interest.

I personally hadn't read that they had denied it, i only posted it because i thought it was interesting - i never summised it was anything crucial to the storyline - just interesting that's all.

Don't get so worked up about it, it's only a tv show!

I agree SJames. It incedible how people get together and chat about common intrest but there will always be someone there to complain about it even though they can just ignore its existance and move to another forum. anyway, I love the wolf I wanna try and make it a sig I just dont know how to... hint hint if anyone can help.

I'm not getting worked up. I've just never understood people who want to keep talking about ideas that have been shot down. When I speculate, I actually want to figure things out. If I see I'm going down a dead end with some idea, I drop everything and turn around. But whatever.

Oh, I see Oprah Winfrey in Kaito's blood, everyone. Oprah is the hooded killer!

Well you still have no right to come here and denounce us and our theories when you could have just not said any thing at all.



And you have no right to mock us like that either.

You are by all means entitles to your opinion but i think you are missing the point.

We are not discussing what amazingly intertwined secret message is to be found in the blood pools - we are simply discussing that intriguingly they look like animals!
I was just interested to see if anyone else saw the animal shapes too as they're quite entertaining and an enjoyable little extra in an otherwise dark and mysterious death scene!

But whatever.

well for someone who talks a lot of sht your speculations are a bit on the special ed side so keep the comments to yourself they can always go both ways buddy

There *may* be something important in the blood pool - or Kaito's crime scene at least.

From Behind the Eclipse, 2.1:
"...we always assumed Mr. Nakamura had powers, but he seemed awfully easy to kill. Were we mistaken?"

Reply - "Mr. Nakamura had powers, but easy to kill? Maybe you didn't look at the crime scene hard enough."

Not sure quite what they mean here... but it's a little more grist for the mill!
