Well this episode's mood got dark. Yui apparently seems to be alive but not conscious. Timeline fits far more of the future in their world this episode.

Also, Kaori isn't wasn't there at first but does appear later seemingly that Yui was able to intervene although she herself suffers.

Omgomgomg, awesome!
So Yui = Kaori in new body? And it happened second time (I mean that experiment), and this time it was failure ?! Or it is jus the same like for the first time (I think that it is the same situation, but now maybe it happened earlier because they had first Yui under investigation ) ? So sad!

Ps, this is one of the best anime in this season for me, top 3 for sure.
Ps2 this show has ending song of season, beautiful.

Lol it is rather obvious that this is the same timeline, where Yui was sent back in time for the first time. Listen what Nagisa said again. She found her in her room after accident, and she was dead (I don't know whether it is good word for describe it), this is the reason why she officially 'transferred'

How many times indeed?

Great episode, ties together so many things hinted at previously, but still leaves a couple of the big questions unresolved but fully addressed so that you know that the writer has thought about them, and there have been a couple of very intriguing hints.

I am very curious about the origin of the AI Unit since that is the thing needed to resolve the time paradox, Sou ascribing it to some mythical origin is sort of fine, but I have hopes that the writer has bigger ambitions (right Hiro?).

Gotta say it again, best animation of the season, at least if ranked by the animations ability to get you to think about what is happening and what could happen. Hard to believe this is all from a VN, the animation team deserves kudos for trying (and so far succeeding) to make this more interesting.

Really looking forward to seeing how this is going to clear up, we are going to get another gym scene, since I think is where the course needs to be diverged. They also still need to explain the tie switching (since now we know that Yui will have at least 2 attempts it now makes things clear).

So Future Kaori (read: Yui) was sent back to (what appears to be unintentionally) maintain the timeline? With the same directives of orders given to her by Akiyama, will we see a different result? Or will Hasekura Airi finally muster the courage to confess to Sou, and end the time-loop that way, by just letting sleeping dogs lie.

This episode was pretty much a confirmation and clarification of the theory regarding Yui. The only interesting thing I didn't realize is how Yui was originally an artificial Kaori. That might explain her attraction to Sou. But aside from thaat not much this week. 3 more episodes to see if Kaori can ever truly be saved...

Now we know how it all started. It's sad that both Airi and Sou are shackled by the past. That's about 10yrs+ of holding in your feelings?

It's surprising to find out Shiori's job. Was there any previous mentions to her occupation?

Wow lots of answers to lots of questions and so interesting. Now only 2 mysteries remain. Where did the AI Unit cube come from and who created Yui? (Although we see Sou theorize that Shiori somehow creates Yui later on in their future since Shiori went to Europe to study artificial brains. Not a bad theory.)

After the repetitive episode of last week, this was a massive step in the right direction, even if it does raise various questions.

First of all, if making Yui was impossible in the future then how did she travel back in time from the future of the episode 1 timeline to the start of the 2nd timeline (which ended last week)?
And what's with the AI unit? Where and how did Nagisa get her hands on it in the first place?

Yui wasn't "impossible in the future", she was impossible in the present, but knowing that she existed was what allowed the time to invent her in the future. What is the question though is her consciousness, that should have been impossible, and it was what prevented the team from transporting Kaori's consciousness into Yui's body. So there is a paradox there that hasn't been explained......yet.

The AI Unit generates a quantum field that allows quantum time traveling (not true time traveling because you do not go back in your time line, but it does allow you to travel back in time of a parallel time line). That is how they were able to send Yui back in time from the future of episode 1 to the beginning of the second parallel universe (your timeline 2), and will let them send her from the future of this second parallel universe to the start of a third parallel universe.

4 or 5 episodes back they mentioned that there are 10 (or 11) parallel universes in quantum physics, so this experiment can be repeated.

Now how Nagisa got her hands on the AI Unit is another paradox, since it is what allows the future to send Yui to the past, which in turn is what allows Nagisa to now that it is something amazing.

So that is another paradox there that hasn't been explained......yet.

I stress yet because I think they have given us a hint on how it will be explained. The hint was this episode and was a throw away line that made us think of one thing (2) as oppose to the real answer (4).

So we finally understand everything... so that's why Yui immediately knew who Sou was when she opened her eyes.

Anyway, this episode was super rushed, but I guess that was to be expected. Lol, I think it's interesting how Sou, Airi, the Mom, and Kenny all suddenly became super geniuses in the biomedical field after Kaori entering vegetative state.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I still have two questions:

1- Yui is a artificial human with an AI, right? Can someone please explain how they created such a thing?

2 - What was that ghost from a few episodes ago and why does it look like Yui?

And the time loop continues...

I wonder what's next. I didn't read the VN so I don't know, but what's more to say next. The ghost is still unclear. I think it's because of the time paradox that Yui leaves, but that's robably not true.

They didn't create it. They duplicated what they learned from studying the original Yui to recreate an artificial Kaori, but then something happened when they tried to transfer Kaori's consciousness and Yui's consciousness spontaneously generated. This points to something else going on, something that hasn't been explained yet, though they have been dropping clues like crazy as to what this.

Ah, finally this show is concentrating on the main plot. A lot of confusions were cleared this episode, but it also created some new questions.

As predicted, Yui is artificially created and was sent in the past with a directive to save Kaori. Since she's like a saving point, unless Kaori is saved, she'll continue to appear in the school.

Very curious about the AI Unit and the very first Yui. Hope we see the original of both later on.

Good episode. Until now, this show has been pretty boring and thus became underrated. Wished it focused on the main story all throughout from the beginning.

Well gotta give props to Sou for actually sacking up and becoming some sort of scientific genius. Plus he's the only one who figured out that there was a time paradox. He's literally soloing this shit now since he figured it all out.

Guess the remaining episodes are going to show the next attempt at breaking the loop and most likely succeeding.

That was a quantum leap in plot progression. Kaori gets hit and then everything fast-forwards like crazy... Although to the point this is a fairly good representation of how their lives went. They were going slowly and all the things mattered, then once Kaori was hit their lives became mono-directional, focused on Kaori. (i love the idea of incredible scientific advancement done for the sake of the love for an individual who is beyond reach, it's a beautiful thing)

Unfortunately there was a lot of technobabble and their quantum physics was inaccurate, that's not the point! It is still intellectually played, and i've liked how the "unusual new girl" trope got a full justification. Something odd happens and they just come accustomed to it without thinking to really investigate into what it all means despite it's mystery.

I knew this was coming from the get-go. Even with all of the casual slice of lifey stuff there was definitely something odd going on.
There was the cube thing which just kinda showed up occasionally, and Yui who appeared outa nowhere but nobody really investigated how or why... Not to mention seeing Kaori in a pod in the opening every time.
The story was definitely bigger than it seemed, and it left the mystery cooking for a while which i found to be a really cool and uncommon way of approaching it. I respect this anime for taking it's time to unveil it's mysteries, although it did jam-pack a bit much into one episode... We shall see what happens from here on in. I'm curious how they'll solve the paradoxes.

This is definitely one of the anime i've been anticipating the most throughout the season.

Sou still won't give up on Yui. I admire him for having the strength to still keep up the hope.

A lot of things were finally explained this episode. Sou becoming a doctor who specializes in brain studies to help and save Kaori from her coma. That black cube is related to Yui in some sort.
From what I've seen, this will just be an infinite loop of time. Everything won't change unless they save Kaori from that accident. Time traveling just made it all possible.

For an anime, it kept the VN art pretty good actually. We still have a ways to go before most animation can have enough production quality and efficiency to better represent a VN's level of art detail, without being ufotable or something. Simplified enough to be workable.

Annoying or not, if someone you really loved got stuck into a permanent coma, you'd do whatever you could do whatever you could for them, even more so if you didn't have a direction in life before then.
