So do any of you theorists feel like there's more weight to Sara and Sana being involved with Nozomu now given the most recent update?
I was thinking that the same thing could've also happened to Sana's brother, which may or may not lead to his apparent death. Other than this, probably not a lot; we just know the Sakakibaras are VERY involved.
For me, it’s a subtle hint that "seeing things" (or other
superior senses) is a shared feature among the blackout victims. This might be an effect of what Yaus said before, "have seen god" or "have been touched", and thus unwillingly letting gods assume controls of you for a little while. We have:
Sensei: well no need to mention
Sana/Sara: can see shit/confirmed by Sara that she had blackouts before/
Sana gets to enter New Hope Church
Rin: heard clock sounds during first beach visiting/dropped cups at cafe and the sudden self infliction after dating Otoha (though the latter one might just be a complicated psychological state)/
get to enter New Hope Church
Yasu: can hear things/acknowledged her blackouts
Ami: seemed to get possessed in multiple occasions (simply too suspicious to ignore)
Kaori: can hear Sensei’s thoughts(?) and
overall her being her/seemingly having a blackout in the rain.
A few exceptions, which the characters didn’t show signs of supernatural senses but had experienced episodes, are Futaba/Makoto threesome scene where it was from a direct intervention of angels, and Ayane (if skipping two months counts toward one massive blackout)
