If you factor that into the theme of "forbidden fruit" and Eris's golden apple and whatnot, then I think that Urobuchi has actually managed to make the fruit theme into something deeper than Bandai's toy licensing. There was that rumor of the Adam character, and I'm becoming more convinced that it's true.

Oh God I hope not.

That'd be the quickest way to get me to drop Gaim by introducing hamfisted, unsubtle religious symbolism that Japan just loves. I really, REALLY hope that doesn't happen, with "Adam" apples and forbidden fruit and shit. Especially since it doens't sound like it's at all actually symbolising the tale from the bible, but rather just taking the imagery from it and using it because.
