Hi guys,
I really like the theories you're building here so I want to give you some more food for thought.

Rin x Molly, Ayane x Yasu, and Definitely Maya x Noriko are going to be very interesting.

What I'm hoping for:

Some interesting match ups, something will definitely happen with Maya and Noriko.

 

[Riolol]

Rin x Molly, Ayane x Yasu, and Definitely Maya x Noriko are going to be very interesting.

What I'm hoping for:
Yumi x Tsuneyo in a Kendo battle. Yakuza Princess vs Flavour Samurai. If not that then friendzone battle.

Chika x Uta in a Caretaker battle. Sensei has to decide who would be a better caretaker.

Ayane x Yasu in a Karaoke battle. Don't know how, but Yasu saying Ayane wants to replace Maya will probably come up.

Sana x Otoha in a Little Sister to Sensei battle. Fucked up, I know. Either that or a music battle. Drum vs Vocals. Not sure how that'd work though. Could also see the Date battle here.

Makoto x Kirin in a Date battle? Seems to fit how their stories are going. If not Date battle then probably like a pervert quiz or something. Who knows more about sex etc.

Miku x Io... Not sure on this one. Scary Room? Fits the anxiety pill stuff.

Rin x Molly in a Cosplay battle. Maybe even have to pretend to be the other. Could also see the Date battle here or simply a gamer girl fight.

Futaba x Nodoka in a Better poetry battle.

Ami x Touka in a Cooking battle. Can't really think of anything else. Also this'll give Ami access to weapons. Could also see them competing over who would be a better mother. Maybe even a popularity contest? That would probably bring out Psycho Ami.

Maya x Noriko in a Who knows Sensei better battle. Except Yasu gets to ask the questions since she won last time. (Probably won't happen but it'd be so interesting.)

I think the poetry battle for Futuba and Noriko is probably spot on.

There should be something from how damaged he is. Guilt matches perfectly, but which kind of guilt is disscusable.

In one of the earlier happy scenes, we hear the sounds of life support. There was a lot of speculation at the time that it indicated that Akira was on life support, and this was all an internalized world while he was in a coma, but I think it's something else.

The source of his guilt.

Someone -- most likely Sekai -- was on life support, and Akira was the one to make the call to pull the plug as the next of kin (as we don't appear to have any other family for Sekai)

You missing the point of date contest: date contest participants are selected by random, not by how good would they be. Misfit contests are awesome

I only based it on the previous contest which is between Chika and Touka actually. Besides, the whole point of the dating contest is to entertain Sensei, not make him awkward.

Again, just my opinion. We're only speculating actually, nothing was proven yet so it'd be by random obviously. We're only assuming.

 

[barglenarglezous]

I actually hope the date contest is Makoto/Kirin. Not because I think they'd be good dates, but because Akira would totally point out that in the last date contest he got laid multiple times and pressure them into "taking the big one for the team"

Ami|Touka will most likely get the costume contest and Makoto|Kirin will most likely get the date wars.
Yumi|Tsuneyo likely won't be allowed to get violent (and Tsuneyo is stronger) so I'm betting on a customer service / misfit maid madness pt2.
Sana|Otoha in a Rin knowledge battle could be spicy if Otoha loses
Maya|Noriko could probably lead to an incredible lore reveal. I think they could have a get along battle, maybe they get handcuffed together and whoever gives up first loses

Honestly, Makoto x Kirin in a date battle would probably be quite sexual just by default. It'd be romantic at first, but then they'd be blowing him in the bathroom before it's over. Maybe even at the same time if they are dating him at the same time as well.

Makoto is at a "nothing matters" state of mind, while Kirin is at a "I can be enough" state of mind. In otherwords, their mindsets on Sensei have nearly switched. Them not having a date battle would be disappointing.

Yumi agreeing to be a maid seems unfortunately doubtful, but I'd love to see it. Not sure if it's fair to her though. Tsuneyo more or less lives in customer service even if the service is mostly noodles.

Sana x Otoha in a Rin knowledge battle does sound interesting.

Maya would instant lose that handcuff battle though. She irrationally hates Noriko and wants her to die.

What was your take on the scary room Maya event?

What was your take on the scary room Maya event?

User1/Nozomu/Sekai/HOPE fucking with her by I think showing her pictures of Sekai and Sensei having sex back in the day, then pretending to be "User2" in order to make her think she'd be factory reset.

Then again, it could be pictures of what Psycho Ami has done.

I actually think it'd be more likely to go the opposite direction based on recent development with both of them, with Akira starting to treat both of them more like actual people and caring more about their feelings. Plus the whole situation with Kirin starting to accept that she does in fact want a real relationship that isn't entirely sexual in nature

Both date wars were more about the feels so I don't think there will be anything sexual. Plus Makoto/Kirin is actually a more balanced matchup than the last 2.
Now that I think about it though, a double date war with date 1 Makoto+Miku and date 2 Noriko+Kirin would be even more spicy. Or maybe that's what the Miku/Io matchup is for.
Edit: Miku/Io having a tomboy contest seems more in character though I don't even know how that will be judged

Well keep in mind, Makoto is in a nothing matters state of mind now. Immediately having impregnation sex with Sensei after finding out about the resets. Kirin may be wanting more romance, but Makoto seems to be wanting more fun:

Yeah, u2 acting that way kinda seems out of role.

The event seems like a punishment for Maya for acting beyond what she is allowed.
Also iterations of Maya seem to be associated with u1/hope. Her and Ami. Or, enteties looking alike.

Feels like Maya is forced to work for u1/hope, for whatever reason.
I'd like to say that in return she's able to survive resets.
And maybe the boxes are offerings or sacrifices. (while i do have another theory there.)

But it would contradict how u2 seems to be responsible for resets.
Unless, resets are one thing, and u1 let's Maya know they will happen, and safes her.

/e
Oh, and what she might have seen could have been the other Mayas, like she thought that those had been gone already.

I think Makoto/Kirin would definitely be the more interesting matchup, partly because there's a strange opposite parallel to the development of their relationships with Akira (Makoto started out pursuing him for romantic reasons with Akira pushing the sexual side of things but eventually coming to care deeply about her and wanting to put her needs above his own, Kirin started out pursuing a purely sexual relationship with Akira with him eventually pushing her to realize that what she actually wants is to be seen as a person deserving of love), and partly because of their existing rivalry over Miku that would definitely bleed into the competition.

You're definitely not wrong there, so it'd be hard to predict what might happen with her (hell we might even see her pushing to make the date sexual in nature like Kirin normally would, but Akira wanting to keep it more romantic in nature). It could even be a bit of an interesting role-reversal to have Makoto acting more carefree and sexually aggressive while Kirin tries to take the date more seriously and show her worth as an actual love interest.

Considering User1/Callous god, seemed to be responsible for Maya almost missing the reset where she had the Nightmare, I don't think it's on her side at all. Not to mention how the Happy Events seem to torture a version of her, even crucifying Amiokay Maya, and how "Teacher"/Sekai hates her.

Btw, if you translate what the Angels are saying in "The Scary Room" main event, they mention preferring Maya in the chair. That chair likely being the one that sexually tortured Amiokay Maya in the "How I feel" Happy Event.

I think User1 is just unable to get rid of Maya like it wants to. Creating abominations of her as some sort of failed attempts to seduce Sensei away from her. Similar to how Mangled/Happy Ami had that Maya doll.

Whether it's Sekai, Ami, or other Mayas, I hope we do get an answer to what Maya saw, but who knows when that'll be.

Also I think User1 tried to pretend being "User2" when Molly was almost raped in "Lavender's Green":

Hence the points being mentioned, but not actually being given, and all the fake options. Much like Maya being reset was mentioned, but didn't actually happen in "The Scary Room".

Similar to how the god of wires can alter visuals but Nozomu can't, I think things like resets and points are User2's things, while User1 can't actually do that. Nozomu and User1 on the other hand can seem to create and mess with things. Tangle wires, use Assets, create dreams, bring things into the loops like Sekai, etc. As long as it doesn't break the "rules".

I also think things like Maya breaking Sensei, and Psycho Ami are due to User1 adding things to their "codes". Things comparable to viruses that trigger under certain conditions. Niki might also have one too.

Then again, I could be way off.

I feel like we literally just had one dorm war done and now here comes another (unless this is something planned way ahead but hey the more the merrier!)

Yumi/Tsuenyo: ah yes the disqualified squad members; maybe Sensei would comment on this combo but I guess it’s not likely to regain their perception through dorm wars. Also calling Yumi winning from both their track records

Ayane/Yasu: whatever this entails I hope there is some kind of continuation from their mysterious little chat on the beach

Io/Miku: druuuuug time?

Maya/Noriko: I actually think this might be a chance for some heart-to-heart moments considering Noriko’s recent events if things haven’t been sorted out; like Maya being full throttle aggressive but then being unsure when seeing Noriko already looking beaten and broken even during a contest about Sensei (in good uncle route maybe it’s a still freaked out Noriko asking Maya stuff about Ami)
Or at least some past revelations would be nice


Ami/Touka:let it be a cup size contest so Ami get an autolose because her punishment for being mean to Noriko and being off the scale creepy is long overdue

Damn, the cruelty.

It'd be like putting Sana against Tsuneyo in a death match, where Sana gets a plate of spaghetti to use as a weapon, and Tsuneyo gets Gallows Edge.

 

[barglenarglezous]

Today in "things I pulled out of my ass":

The beach war ends in tragedy, as the final match of the event -- Ami and Touka's cosplay contest, get interrupted by Ami finding out about the apartment, prompting her to stab Touka 23 times. The wounds cause Touka's costume to transform from "The Perfect Bride" to "Bloody Mary", and Touka wins the contest anyway. While everyone is freaking out, Maya remains calm, points out the reset is happening soon, and collects the Rooftop Squad + Makoto to prepare for the reset that will (hopefully) put Psycho Ami back to sleep.
