| - The theory is long forgotten with the series itself, but it was one of the popular theories back in the day. "Is Sylia a boomer?" can even be seen as a parallel to "Is Deckard a replicant?" in Blade Runner, given the Shout Outs to that movie. There is, however, a flashback of Sylia as a child, and a picture. The followup series, Bubblegum Crash, claimed that both she and Largo are "a new lifeform that is neither human nor boomer, but superior to both". However, continuity between Crisis and Crash has problems, the biggest glitch being that boomer technology is much less advanced in Crash.

| - The theory is long forgotten with the series itself, but it was one of the popular theories back in the day. "Is Sylia a boomer?" can even be seen as a parallel to "Is Deckard a replicant?" in Blade Runner, given the Shout Outs to that movie. In the first episode, Sylia gets data downloaded directly into her mind, similarly to Meison in episode 3. Sylia seems to hear Largo/Mason say her name at a distance at the end of episode 5, at which point her eyes glow red; boomers' eyes also glow red in this episode, although it's the whole eye rather than the iris and pupil. In episode 6, he says that he and she are both of the same kind. There is, however, a flashback of Sylia as a child, and a picture. The followup series, Bubblegum Crash, claimed that both she and Largo are "a new lifeform that is neither human nor boomer, but superior to both". However, continuity between Crisis and Crash has problems, the biggest glitch being that boomer technology is much less advanced in Crash. The American comic book (written by Adam Empowered Warren) claims that Sylia has a nanotech-augmented brain, which Suzuki Toshimichi of Artmic has confirmed. Tokyo 2040 actually made Mackie a boomer (or more precisely, something which is exactly like a boomer except it isn't called one). It paid further homage to this theory by having Sylia involved in the experiment that created the prototypes for all boomers in the series (including her Evil Twin).
