Shakugan no Shana - Speculation & Theories (for first time viewers)

[Pellissier]

This thread is aimed at first time viewers of Shakugan no Shana and its purpose is to allow spoiler free speculation and theories to be aired. Having them in a central location may help focus the discussion instead of spreading speculation over the various episode discussion threads. Note: this thread covers both seasons 1,2 and the Movie.

If you are knowledgeable of the manga/novels and wish to speculate or discuss theories, then please do not post in this thread (use the Shakugan no Shana - Spoilers and Speculations (for experienced Shanites only)) and do not give away any spoilers in this thread!

Unacceptable post topics:

• Any form of manga spoilers.
• Any form of spoilers from visual novels.

Spoiler Policy

• Any spoiler that reveals future events, even under a spoiler tag, will be deleted.
  Spoiler tags should still be used where appropriate.
• Adding a Spoiler tag:
  

  Just highlight your spoiler and click the button found on the "Quick Reply" and "Reply to Thread" forms. Make sure that you include a title for the spoiler!

• Please use the Report button if you see any spoilers:
  

  Click the button found to the left of the post, just under the poster's avatar. Using the Report button is anonymous and helps the Moderators to locate and deal with problems quickly.

• Posting prohibited spoilers may result in a ban.
  Note: Reporting a post does not mean the poster will be banned instantly.
  The Moderators will use bans if warnings are repeatedly ignored.

Magazine previews are an exception to the said rule. You are allowed to discuss those. (Properly labeled spoiler tags required).

I guess I'll have to say it. This thread does not seem to be working out. Technically, those who are watching Shana II have already watched Shana I, and those who haven't would watch Shana I first instead of Shana II, therefore already having experience with Shana and therefore not first time viewers.
