Watched the latest heavenly delusion and theory has also changed. Also saw some stuff in the comments that I didn't figure out (and kind of suspect they were manga readers pretending to be smart) but is technically possible to figure out anime only so far.
Dr Usami and Hoshio are in fact mimihime and shiro, completely confirming the timeline. The very limited proof for this is the button usami is holding. I thought initially it was a coin, but in this newest episode it is confirmed to be a button and hearing that it's clear to see it's from the school uniforms in heaven. Shiro has white hair and the correct eye color and his "power" seems to be tinkering with machinery. After the metaphor of usami stepping out from the light and into the darkness in his last conversation with maru we see mimihime have a premonition in the past where the dark is encroaching on her before suddenly someone else comes to her in the darkness. Additionally, mimihime has shiro's grey eyes in this premonition as opposed to her normal blue eyes.All of this confirms the heaven portions are in the past and heavily imply that maru is tokio's son. From the story teller in episode 9 we see a picture of asura with wings in the sky just before the collapse and it's in the takahara school as a drawing on the wall as well. We also see Kona has the ability to bring to life his imagination by cutting the girl with the sword of light making me lean towards him being creator of the man eaters.The other interesting idea from the story tellers are the meteor. While it almost certainly didn't impact the earth, I would expect heaven's destined day to be talking about the day the meteor comes close to earth. That or the children of heaven were created with alien DNA found on the meteor as it was close to earth. It's possible all 3 stories are true and that earth went to war over the outcome of the children of heaven made with alien DNA from the meteor. Oh, or maybe asura with his psychic powers drags the meteor into earth causing a catastrophe that ignites war.IThe new assistant director of heaven seemed to be genuinely worried about tokio and probably needs that "level 4 clearance" in order to help the kids escape. That's a bit flimsy though. Trying to look back at the girl who gave kiruko the gun, I saw tokio looking at a wall of pictures in episode 2. We can see some interesting things. Firstly what looks like a bunch of asura's in the sky, 4 people with their heads connected, the drawing of the whales above the people we see drawn in episode 9, a large person surrounded by either people or a cave, an embryo sac with wings lookin thing with 2 humanoids in it, and notably an angry face moon/meteor looking thing. Didn't realize we'd seen so many pictures. I'd imagine the 4 heads together is about the experiments done in heaven by fusing multiple brains together. They mention something like this when talking about asura. I'm betting the embryo is maru and his sibling. The surrounded person I'm guessing is at the center of angry mob and probably one of the first to become a maneater. No clue about the whales other than possible maneaters to appear in a future episode.Finally found it in episode 2. Mikura is the name of the woman with the kiru beam initially and she does in fact have the maneater disease and is thus probably one of the children of heaven. Not sure who it could be though, perhaps someone not yet introduced. Oh, or maybe it's the girl that can climb on walls. She does seem like she'd be good at escaping heaven and has a friendly connection with tokio so it would make sense.I can't think of the last show that had me skimming older episodes to try and piece information together. The more I see of it, the more solidified it becomes for me as best of the season.

Interesting. I might check it out.
