It could if they can infuse the same Genome Shu has into his duplicate Clone. Although I don't see how that would work since the clone might not have good memories since the transfer of that can be tricky.

Anyway the other alternative is the rematerialization but guess what? Mana is also coming back in this case. Mana/Gai were holding each other right before he dies so that is why I think so. So Gai yes can have Shu's powers but Mana will be back.

Quick thoughts:

Shu acted like he was more dead then alive. We can definitely see shades of Gai in his behavior. But Gai had years of experience and a solid support team. Shu doesn't. Yahiro is lieing to him about important stuff. And Inori... Well Inori isn't herself and next to Shu, supporting, influencing him. Still, he wants to help, to save as many people as he can.

Go Ayase. She slapped Shu. He needed it. I still think that she is the only one that can reach Shu, get him back on the right track, since Hare died.

As for Argo. Yeah, he did beat Shu, but he's a trained fighter, Shu's not. He still sees the Shu of the past, hasn't had the chance see how he changed, has grown in the past weeks. Still Shu was able to shut him up with the simple question. What would you do in my place? Argo's the outsider, he doesn't know what has happened, what they needed to do to survive. It's easy to nit-pick when the burden isn't on your shoulders. In some ways, Argo was acting like Shu did when he first fell with Funeral Parlour.

Inori, in episode 14, when she Beat up/Killed those students. I wondered if, or how the events of episode 12 had effected, changed her. It appears that she's becoming Mana, or more percisely, 'The Queen'. Mana being Shu's loving Older sister. 'The Queen' is the Virus created/transfered Personality, the one set upon mating with Shu, at the time a 7 year old boy. Still, this is not the Inori from before episode 12. She's different and the scary part is that she next to Shu, supporting him, influencing him.

Yahiro, I don't know what to make of him. Is he on Shu's side, but giving him bad advice, which he believes to be right? Or is he trying to hurt Shu, because of what happened to his Brother? Or is he in league with Kiedo & Segai, pushing Shu towards their ultimate goal? Or is he under the Queen's/Inori's influence/control?

What is Keido's plan, his Goal? Is he still trying to become Adam to Inori/Mana's Eve? Why is Haruka helping him? And what did she mean when she said this was what Kurosu, Shu's Father, wanted?

Things are heating up. There's an Armada in the Pacific, heading towards Japan. Perhaps to stop Keido? Or maybe something else. I expect to see the third Leukocyte to come into play.

And let's not forget, Gai's back. Is he a clone? Or did they revive his body? If so, How did they get their hands on his Body?

What do you think?

I hate this show.
I came in expecting Shu to mature like Simon did in Gurren Lagann and then for it to get awesome and exciting, but it just kept letting me down.
The opening made me get hype again cause I thought the new opening was kinda showing Shu was gonna become a really cool guy who wore Gai's coat, but he's not. WHY...? The only thing I can look forward to is Shu becoming a cool guy in the last 2 or 3 episodes, but I am going to dread the next couple of episodes. ;_;
