* The meaning behind this Number might be the concept of reversal, because 96 will still look the same even if it's flipped upside-down.

Likewise, this alludes to the form [[Number 96 (character)|Number 96]] takes when it possesses [[Astral]]. In addition to a reverse personality, it had an inverted color scheme.
