<p>He called himself Black Cat because he brings misfortune. He also said to his victims <em>I have come to deliver some bad luck</em> before he kills them. </p>

<p>The motive of the bad luck also is shown in his number (13) and his birthday (13.4.; 13 => number of bad luck in western countries, while the four is the number for bad luck in Japan). Also his name has 13 characters.</p>

<p>The main character of Black Cat, Train Heartnet, is called Black Cat. Where did that name come from? Is it a reference to him being an assassin and, as such, being "bad luck" for people whose paths he crosses?</p>
