The Pointing Ninja of Xi Investigators

"The Pointing Ninja of Xi Investigators" is the unofficial name for the group who investigated the Pointing Ninja Mystery from roughly late 2012 to 2015.

The group declined in membership following the end of PlayStation Home on April 1, 2015 but continued to casually discuss the Pointing Ninja mystery until the discovery of the Man Gled channel was brought to their attention on November 13, 2015.

With a new mystery to focus on, the group evolved into what is now known as the Hundegni Hunters, finally leaving their old forum and creating a new Hundegni-specific Discord on January 2, 2018.

## Notable Members

### AdmiralThrawn000

An investigator deemed by Arrows of Heaven to be the "chosen" individual of 2014, with this title potentially carrying over into 2015. Was spoken to by several distinct Shadows such as Y2hhaXJz, Ajingnitniop, OperationPN, and UnhingedShadow. Was later involved in the potential liberation of GeneralCamera. Admiral likely never solved the mystery (found "it", as other chosen investigators had been indicated as having done), partially due to the end of PlayStation Home bringing an abrupt end to the investigation. However, Admiral was given access to a unique edit of the official Home-ending video that explicitly gave closure to several subjects from the mystery.

### Dominic

The original investigator of the 2012 - 2015 period and blogger of events. Was possibly Arrows of Heaven's "chosen" investigator for 2013, but was never explicitly told this or interacted with in similar manners as AdmiralThrawn000. He assisted Admiral and others until the close of PlayStation Home on April 1, 2015.

### tothemax9

An online friend of Dominic and one of the first individuals to join in the investigation. Later reported that he had to leave the group due to personal matters and disappeared for some time before later reappearing as a Shadow working alongside Arrows of Heaven. Was later pictured within 2.4 of the HUNDEGNI series.

## Other Members

### Athena

Claimed to see users XiMuseum and XiContinuum within Aurora on December 22, 2012, the day before Xi: Continuum was released.

### D8

A somewhat significant member who provided the Pointing Ninja investigators with a large group of assistants and helped to work on various codes. D8 was one of the few investigators to be contacted by Y2hhaXJz, indicating he may have been the legitimate "chosen" investigator of the 2013 year instead of Dominic. D8's team is featured within the video PN. He'd go on to drop out of the mystery due to the unease of being messaged by Y2hhaXJz.

### GreatDan

A member of the Pointing Ninja investigation forums who uploaded videos prepared by Matt Hawthorn to YouTube.

### Jake/Haily

A somewhat significant member who'd go on to discover the post by AlexPref regarding the Man Gled channel. Noting the similar imagery between the Pointing Ninja Mystery and HUNDEGNI, he'd inform AdmiralThrawn000 of the channel. This would eventually lead to the creation of the Hundegni Hunters, though Jake would not continue working beyond this point.

### James/Null

A member of the Pointing Ninja investigation forums who'd go on to write a brief story outlining various elements of the mystery.

### Matt Hawthorn

A member of the Pointing Ninja investigation forums who scripted and edited videos regarding the old investigation and the later emerging HUNDEGNI case.

### Tyler

One of the first individuals to join Dominic in the investigation of the Pointing Ninja mystery. Was incapable of continuing following sudden issues with his PS3.

## Methods

The Pointing Ninja Investigation team was an open group, allowing anyone to freely contribute or spectate on new or old materials of the mystery. They did not know each other in real life and were primarily active on the following platforms:

PlayStation Home

Facebook

YouTube

Weebly and Forums

Various elements of the Pointing Ninja Mystery led investigators to research/operate on many different sites.

## Motives

The Pointing Ninja Investigators had no unified motive nor end goal in working on the mystery, though curiosity did play a major role. As more of the mystery unraveled, some users especially sought to learn what had happened to previous investigators and investigation groups, as well as discover the truths behind Arrows of Heaven. Some users would specifically strive to liberate Shadows.
