Talk:Hidan no Aria:Volume7 Chapter1

Every time I see EU here, I keep thinking European Union even though I know its not right. Do we actually know what EU in the context of the novel actually stands for?

^ I assume you've read the previous novels (Vol 4-5 especially) E —— Japan’s secret code to designate a submarine in the past

U —— Germany’s secret code to designate a submarine....

"The name EU had come from the codename for submarine's during the World War 60 years ago, the submarine itself had come from Russia, 30 years ago-- A submarine that had been stolen from the former Soviet Union. And, it was equipped with modern American MK-60s. " (Vol.5, Ch.1)

By my understanding thus far its basically the name of a group of (hidden) people codenamed by the submarine? Correct me if I'm mistaken. -Swiftstrike

Yes. E.U is a balistic missile submarine (SSBN) that was stolen from the USSR by the organization that bears the same name. It was formed during WWII by Imperial Japan and the Nazis. It's leader is the original Sherlock Holmes and they are the antagonists for the most part. ~Cosmic
