| Yeah kinda crazy how no one has busted open a phone and stopped to think why it looks like a music box inside. |
| That's my favorite episode of the whole series so far! It challenged everything I thought I knew about this anime! First things first I was very wrong last episode. I still believe His ability is impersonating anyone (maybe also gaining their ability), but it's certain now that He didn't impersonate Akitsu. I assumed he would not be able to move his body to the future, only his consciousness, so he wouldn't have free will there. Now it seems like he can move any object (including himself) to the future and after it's been there for some time he has to move it back. If he was not required to move it back he would not be worried about dying when he learned that he was killed by Gorō. I suspect he was moving himself to the future of the current timeline and if he didn't like it he moved back and changed the timeline. His ability is for sure able to create new timelines (he said himself that's what he did) but I my guess is that they have to be consistent. This means that in each timeline the objects Akitsu moved have always traveled to the future, possibly been affected in some way and returned. For example, if he decided to move Gorō's father, from before he was born, so that he would not get married, Gorō would never exist. Consequently, if Gorō doesn't exist, maybe Lall is born and she becomes the MC (but this time without trying to resurrect him). In any case I think Akitsu would still need to move Gorō's father, for whatever reason, so that the timeline is consistent. Gorō's ability is similar, in the sense that he also creates a consistent timeline, but he does it by preventing an object from existing directly. But I would say that Gorō's ability is actually closest to Ryō's. In fact, my new theory about this show is that abilities always have a compliment.
I say "most importantly" because this also leads to a prediction I have for the near future of this anime (maybe even next episode). What if Akitsu moves Tatsuya forward in time so that he and He can recreate Gorō? ("he and He" sounds so weird...) This could be the end game of the show, by combining complimentary abilities greater thinks than the sum of their parts can be created. To end this long comment, which I started writing about 7 hours ago (I have not been writing for 7 hours straight), I have some miscellaneous remarks.
I think it's pretty obvious now why this is my favorite episode so far (if the length of the comment wasn't enough for you). |
| Akitsu's Time Control powers certainly brought everyone back to the initial starting point, and the Death Spreader masked man is the enemy that Lall cannot defeat, so why not form a truce with Iyo and Ryo from Gozekai that was established right after the distortion of the KamiErabi incident to thwart the sequence of events right before Iyo and Keita's fated battle. Honestly, Lall has all the conditions she needs to resurrect Goro, but Sasaki being the outsider who knows of the God battles, she's no longer ordinary, and Akitsu certainly remembers her even has her lone small self back then. Mitsuko and Kouki's fight before the latter's planned battle, it definitely was the spur of the moment between their alliances for 12 years, and even going into the new ongoing battle to become God that signified the change going forward for both of them. Meanwhile, the Akitsu of the past trying to take Lall's experience all in to see if there's a subtle future in it, but the learn of the initial group being the pioneers of a world already so messed up, it adds substance layering into this unpredictable world. The more I watch this show, the more the puzzle pieces line up. It's getting good now... |
