And who is to blame for this?
For four seasons, viewers followed the adventures of Vanya (Victor), Luther, Diego, Allison and Klaus, wondering why Five didn’t have a normal name.
One fan theory was more exciting than the other, but in reality everything turned out to be much simpler.
At the Tudum event dedicated to Netflix films and series, Steve Blackman and Gerard Way put the finishing touches on the event.
They refuted several speculations and stated that Five’s name was Five. Period.
In both the graphic novel and the show’s universe, Grace was responsible for giving children names that went beyond just numbers, inviting all students to choose them independently.
Guess who’s the only one who missed the opportunity?
Aidan Gallagher’s character didn’t challenge his imagination and then disappeared completely into the future, denying himself any choice.
“He basically said, ‘Fuck you!’ That’s exactly how it was in the comic, even though you haven’t seen it yet. Back then, the guy was too stubborn to come up with anything new, and that goes for all those things. ‘Sisters and brothers,’ and was left with a number instead of a name,” Way added.
Further refusal to be called otherwise can be explained by the difficult fate of an old man trapped in the body of a teenager.
While the rest of the team found humanity (which they were not taught), Five fought every day to survive. Outside of his family, he felt only love and compassion for a mannequin.
The commission turned him into some kind of killing machine, and the lack of a name only emphasized this fact.
