In the opening theme song of The World God Only Knows, a couple of symbols fly
around the screen.

This one seems to matches the loose soul detector that Elsie wears on her head

However, i don't understand the references in the other icons:

What do the symbols in the OP refer to?


The icon with a jar is the Weiss capturing device.

_I don't know what the bear like icon refers to_

The cat icon references the design of Kanon's stun gun as it appears in the
anime. (The stun gun has normal appearance in the manga). The icon matches the
stun gun on Kanon's right hand in the image below.

According to [KamiNomi
Wiki](http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/Kanon%27s_Stun_Guns):

> The original shape of the stun guns were replaced by kitten-style appearance
> in the anime as a safety image.

The hexagon icon is the Maijima emblem, which is shown most clearly in chapter
169. For the purpose of comparison:

The last 4 icons are Hellian alphabet. Referring to below chart from [this

The characters are G, O, N, K, in order from left to right, top to bottom.
