There are a lot of hidden metaphors within this anime series. Johan was just an imagination of Anna, if you think about it very closely. This is why the writers of the animation chose them to be "twins" and in the final episode, you realize that they look exactly the same. In addition, Johan "disappears" at the end and his real name is never actually revealed because he never existed in the first place.

He is a pigment of Anna's imagination. Anna was taken as a tool of revenge and trained to become an ultimate soldier for terrorist operations. She became traumatized by visualizing her supposed brother "Johan" as being shot and killed, trying to destroy her past in the orphanages.

Think about it carefully.
whoa thinking that hurts!

So would that mean, that Dr. Tenma just pretented to operate upon a young boy that day and spend his life chasing him? *this was the first thing that pops to my mind*... I'll stop there as my mind would hurt
