During the stream, Kaplan acknowledged YouTuber dinoflask and gave him some special words to work with in his next parody video. The words were "Orca, Killer Whale, Gratuitous." Karahe suggests it was a clue, explaining that the last letter of each word spells A R E S.
Delving into Greek mythology, Karahe hypothesized that based on the lore and on things found in Ilios, Talon might have Ares, the "evil" equivalent of Athena, as an AI system or perhaps Ares is the next hero to be announced.
Karahe noticed these butterflies flying around in Ilios that look exactly like a real species of butterfly called Papilio Ulysses. Thinking that this is a hint toward Ulysses of Homer's Odyssey, Karahe pointed out more references to the story found in Overwatch.
