The lot of us come up with all sorts of theories, and eventually they get lost within the dozens and dozens of pages of posts (especially when the theory doesn't get verified or disproved after 100+ chapters).
So I'm starting a thread for you to dump your short theories, so we can keep track of which ones come true! Just dump them all here, no matter how crazy, and come back a couple of years later to see what was right or wrong. Justifications are completely optional!
Rules: to help keep track, avoid making this a discussion thread. If you want to ask someone about a theory they've had, ask it in the General discussions thread. But you can post to brag if something turns out correct I guess. :3

Theories:
The #1 AA is:
- The Priest of Light in Eloth, who saved Eloth from annihilation in N0 by single-handedly operating all the turrets (ch. 64)
- He's also Saha On, Lorraine's 'not-buff-enough' fiance (name first mentioned in ch. 22)
- He's among those who hid Rao's wife and daughter away after N0, so he purposely denied Asha access to the human search system in N11 (ch. 2-20)
- Was a God summoner (I think that's him in ch. 6), not sure about now.
Kubera Leez:
- Actually has Ananta's Name as well (which is being sealed by God Kubera's Name), which is why he appeared in her dream (ch. 2-22)
- Has a Sura (?) form (ch. 2-33 reflection).
- Will end up in the Sura realm.
- Will turn out to be the 'final villain' (more or less), causing massive damage to both Sura and Gods.
- Has probably already figured out God Kubera's true identity, by the latest after learning Agni's true identity: he fits the description Agni gave in Atera, he says the bracelet belongs to him (she then found out it was God Kubera's in Kalibloom), plus the magic/transcendental thing, plus the Name thing. She might have figured it out earlier, but dismissed it as too far-fetched until she saw Agni as well.
Rao Leez:
- Is not Triple Kubera (his birthday is not on the calendar in ch. 1), but Triple Vayu.
- Is the one who summoned Vayu in N5 to bring the last transport to Atera (ch. 64).
God Kubera's Name:
- There are actually multiple targets (either fragmenting or sealing his Name). Killing targets will cause the survivors, including God Kubera himself to become 'stronger', which is why Leez noted she was getting stronger in ch. 33 (due to other targets being killed off by Maruna), while Sagara noted that their mission had failed because God Kubera's power remained 'unchanged' in ch. 85.
- Asha Rahiro was also going around killing targets too, thus accounting for the 29+ counts of 'involuntary homicide by magical accident' (ch. 2-7 and 2-20). Either that, or she was trying to save them, was too late, and got saddled with the blame. She was planning on making Leez the only one to survive.
Asha's mother:
- Is the one Agni is looking for. She may be a God and is connected to this Power of the Name business.
- Could have been the one who really summoned Agni in N5. She was killed before he got to her though, so Agni went to the other summoner: Brilith.
- Could be the reason why Agni wasn't protecting Atera alongside Jibril in N5: he went to Carte.
(these last two theories are mutually exclusive)
Clan Names:
- Kalavinka is the one with the Garuda clan's Name. She's the only one so far who actually cares about staying hidden. :\ And as much as she cares about her siblings, she won't side with Maruna's plans (more sibling conflicts yey).
- Leny may be hiding the Kinnara clan's Name, which is the true reason Shess is protecting her.
- Ran, being the current Yaksha King's grandson, may be hiding the Yaksha clan's Name without knowing, or is otherwise involved in the Name business (if you need a 'how', Visnu is 'how': he's the one who set up Ran's grandparents). Asha already had him on the list of people to maybe pick up, which is the true reason she was so mad at Ran's behavior (ch. 54): because yet another of her targets turned out to be a brat. She actually worried for his safety in Kalibloom precisely because he has a role (ch. 2-78).
- Airavata used the Power of the Name to take over the position of King from Kinnara, the same way Sagara did.
Yuta and the Taraka clan:
- They get stronger if they eat strong prey by absorbing their Name (has not been noticed as a major problem until now because they're weak, but will be a serious problem later on)
N995 (the year Rao Leez won the fighter tournament):
- Taksaka, Kasak, Agwen, Claude, Airi, and maybe Ran and Parr all met (to watch the fighter tournament)
- There were major revelations at this date, which is the true reason why Airi, Agwen (ch. 2-2) and maybe Ran's memories of the event were all wiped out (Ran doesn't remember Parr because of this). Even now, something is controlling Agwen, and that 'someone' is the one who threatened Brilith when Agni went to Kalibloom (ch. 2-70).
Whelp, I didn't really expect to post that many.
