The helix is a symbol that appears quite frequently throughout the series. In episode 12 "Godsend" the symbol appears on the sword hilt and Ando Masahashi remarks that it appears to be a combination of two Kanji characters: (Sai) meaning "Great Talent" and (Yo) meaning "Godsend". During an interview at the Wizard World in Los Angeles, writer and Co-Producer Aron Coleite stated that it literally means "God sending great ability." Writer and co-executive producer Micheal Green stated that the writers know it as "the helix". This symbol frequently appears as a pattern formed by mundane objects, but it also appears on certain plot-significant items and on several characters:
- On various paintings by Isaac Mendez.
- On Jessica's back whenever she surfaces as Niki Sanders's alternate personality. When Jessica is repressed, the symbol does not appear on Niki's back. This also appeared on a painting of "Jessica" by Isaac. The symbol was hidden under an extra layer of paint. Later on, Jessica hides the symbol (an apparent tattoo) under a layer of foundation makeup.
- On the hilt of a katana once owned by 16th-century samurai Takezo Kensei, possibly the earliest known manifestation of the symbol. This katana is held by Hiro Nakamura.
- Printed on the front of Dr. Chandra Suresh's book, Activating Evolution.
- On a warehouse door at Primatech Paper, in "Company Man".
- On the Primatech Paper model in a flashback, also in "Company Man".
- On The Haitian's necklace.
- In Chandra Suresh's algorithm program, formed by the code on the computer screen.
- On Peters arm when he is in Ireland
- On the glass in the Bennet's front door at home in "Company Man".
- Shaped in the ashes of the container of the virus before the blew away.
