The series left so many unanswered questions! I was just wondering if maybe I missed some kind of detail. What exactly did Kane mean when he said that he and Able were once the same person? Because I thought they were brothers. Sorry, I'm just a little confused.

Kain and Abel are brothers..I think that the Krusnik weren't born really, I was under the impression they were "created". The two share the same DNA as far as I know.
shareOh, okay that makes sense. Did that older woman create them or something like that?

No..she was Krusnik as well. I think humans may have created them since they existed as an experiment for the Mars Colonization Project..
shareI didn't realize how clueless I was until I read this thread. Thanks for your reasoning! It's all coming together for me now.

"Don't take life too seriously; nobody gets out alive."
Because they are twins they were originally one in the womb.
shareThey were all test tube babies, if I recall correctly. Kain was first and Able was second... followed up by Seth and whats her name (forgot). They were implanted with some kind of virus nanobot thingys, and that's how they became Krusniks, but as to why or where they found the nanobot things I never really understood... It had something to do with Mars, yes, but I never really got it. It was always kind of sketchy, if you ask me.
This is Kaos. We don't *shush* here!

No, that older woman (three years older actually) was Abel's lover/soulmate, Lilith Sahl. She was the prototype test tube baby and Krsnik 04 who led humanity against them and won the battle (then was killed by Cain during the peace truce). In the novels, it's her and Abel who "kill" Cain (Seth's far more villainous, not cutie cutter, she still wanted to have a war against Terrans and conquer the world, rejected Lilith's truce, she wasn't there). Lilith wounds and weakens Cain deadly before he beheads her and absorbs her nanos (she has NONE, animemakers or she would have returned to life FAIL GONZO FAIL), Abel goes *beep* when Cain shows her head and pushes him off the Ark into space.
Abel's Cain's "clone", referred as his twins, they are both experiments. Like Lilith and Seth.
What Kain was referring to was the fact that both he and Able fought together during the war...which I will explain further in a bit.
Ok...as people may or may not know by now, the anime ended abruptly when the writer died. However, there had been a number of manga and novels written..and from there we can fill in some of the gaps the anime left.
Between the three mediums, this is what we know:
Abel, Kain, Lillith and Seth were all test tube babies who were experimented on, in some hope to coloize Mars.
Abel was bitter as a child, he was much as Kain is now..and ironicly enough, Kain was once like Abel..when their roles changed isn't completely clear. We know that Abel began to change after Lillith tried to get him to leave the war.
Kain felt that Lillith was pulling Abel away from him, and murdered her...which is shown briefly in flashbacks in the anime series.
Now..back to the meaning of Kain's words...I'm taking it to mean he's calling Abel a killer just as he is. What is not clear, is where this great war that Kain and Abel fought in took place. What we know, is that they sided with the Methuselah against the Terrans (In which Abel killed 7 million Terrans, thank you Wicki for that fact.)
It is unclear when they came to Earth, considering they were in space when Seth injected Kain with the Crusnik nanomachines thus enabling Kain to access 100%, they were in space. Seth and Abel pushed Kain out of the air hatch...so...that leaves us with more questions..not to mention..why is Lillith burried at the Vatican?
I think another part of it was that they are twins, and twins come from the same egg before separating, meaning they technically were the same being before.
