Id say Rika so far. Hopefully she will have some more interesting events at some point.
I agree. Since I don't think Rin's mom is gonna show up, Rika's arc's still pretty uncertain right now. The only guess I could make so far is for her arc to be getting together with Osako, as she breaks up with Wakana. It may seem outlandish, but listen up, Osako and Rika actually have similar issues in regard to relationships. And if we do get a new relationships phase, RikaxOsako, RinxChika seems possible.

If not that one, I really can't say. Obviously her issue has to do with feeling washed up in life, not accepting her age, feeling that no one really cares about her. And that's pretty much all in her head, cause she's hot as hell, managed to score a job in the school, already raised a daughter that has a job and loves her, and will soon be moving into Touka's apartment (wild guess) since everyone else probably will. So, again, what's the character arc here? Cause it seems it's all pretty much solved before it even started.

Who do you all think is the least important character for the story? Not the character you like the least, but narratively for Akira
Wow this is hard to answer, it might be easier if we had any clue where this story is going to end up. Out of the main girls I would probably say Futuba, out of the side girls I would say Rika but I honestly have no idea.

The community not giving credit to the Sakakibaras, with the sheer amount of times that Himawari shows up relating to them, and them being involved with supernatural stuff is the real surprise to me.

Tsubasa is more understandable, but yeah, the tree is a dead giveaway. Also what Deskel said about her creating her own little world, and more or less how at times it makes me compare her reasoning to meddling - with the world itself just wanting to be entertained.

Forgot to post this yesterday. I hadn't even realized New Maya went off on Noriko just like Prime did. New Maya must not have remembered Noriko being around.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
A few angles I look into this are:

1. Maya's memory is reset to a state similar to the start of the game. This means already being close friends with Ami and Ayane, and knowing the existence of the first 10 students plus Molly, but then that's it; the rest is all gone.

This can explain the second lunge toward Noriko, and her questioning toward Sensei as to when he and Niki talk again. For the second example, what she meant is supposed to be the new progress between this ex-couple and this is something neither Prime or New Maya could have known. However, this to me subtly indicates that New Maya might have forgotten a kiss she bore witness to during a winter day outside of a hotel. If seeing Niki entering his house is enough to ignite Maya this much, the lack of implosion might imply that New Maya never knew that kiss at the first place (unless she remembered it but that kiss just meant nothing to her :WaitWhat:)
1718910896416.png

However, this would inadvertently mean that New Maya does not remember anything about the rest of 2F dorm residents or the dorm wars, and this would be one major memory hiccup. Unfortunately we don't have enough scenes to prove her potential lack of familiarity toward memories we've been through together with Prime Maya.

In addition, with her current personalities, New Maya might not give a flying fuck about anything (anything except Noriko because she's a real threat in her eyes) that happened outside of her already tiny circle anyway, or might pretend not to give a fuck while maintaining the habit of keeping it all in. As the days went by and marched away from the 6th reset, this hiccup would become less and less noticeable as she silently reacquainted to the changes "new to her" in the absence of Sensei, and we would have less and less chance to figure it out without some direct pressing questions.

My heart is on this route though this is not easy to get it right and is very susceptible to any potential oversight.

2. Excluding experiences about the reset, New Maya remembers EVERYTHING we've been through EXCEPT reuniting with Noriko or anything that involved Noriko, hence the second lunging. This direction is quite bizarre for the time being, as there is no current evidence that could support the reasoning behind this selective memory deletion that somehow is Noriko-dependent.

3. Maya lost her experience toward any form of fuckery, her jaded personalities and her spacetime-transcending love toward Sensei, but retained the rest of her memories that don't violate the aforementioned principles. Thus, New Maya remembered almost EVERYTHING. The second lunge in fact wasn't from "reacquainting with Noriko the second time", but from a different reason that didn't involve memory misalignment, things like somehow Maya thought Sensei being broken again was Noriko's fault or simply let out her negative emotion induced by Sensei's absence on Noriko.

This direction takes advantage of the fact that we don't really know what that New Maya's outburst toward Noriko was about, or precisely when it happened (it was “last month” from Christmas Eve, but what I care about is whether it was Maya seeing Noriko for the first time after 6th reset, or just some time in November), and intentionally interprets it another way.

The memory situation in this direction would be easier (and convenient) to proceed. Neither Selly or us need to be that careful about what New Maya should or should not remember. However, this would massively lower the significance of Noriko’s concern. As in, Noriko at best noticed Maya's slight but affirmed personality shift, and not her memory loss because there was no such thing under this assumption.

In any case, since Ayane hasn't taken it upon herself, doing this type of memory survey and updating Sensei yet, I am hoping the incoming Noriko events will have something to do with it. Or don't, I don't know, I'd love to see Noriko make some major strides just for herself without Maya, Ami, or even Niki being in the way

I thought we already knew of a connection between Tsubasa and Sekai? Something about possibly being friends in college? And no, not confusing that with Kirin's dad's connection.
You may be referring to Wakana and Tsubasa. They both went to the same all girls private school. They are also both rich girls, but Tsubasa is way older. (Chapter 3's Tsubasa 'Playing God' Event)

Sekai didn't seem to be all that wealthy, and based off her being around the Kanda's father, I doubt she went to an all girls school, or a private one.

I may have forgotten something though.

Yeah i could very easily be misremembering stuff, especially since i feel like this memory is sourced from reading something one of you guys wrote... but i feel like was more of a connection than that, i felt like there was a third but i just couldn't remember and you suggesting Wakana feels right, so the memory is something involving all three of them... that being said, if no one pipes up with some kind of corroboration for it i will easily put it down to corrupted memories, heavens know i have more than plenty of them.

Yasu is one of the most important characters in this game for a climax to be reached.

I think she mentioned at some point that "their child would bring a change like no other" or something along those lines.

I think Yasu is not HOPE's lamb, she is just a vessel that can be controlled by any deity at any moment, it's just that HOPE just happened to claim her for himself and use her for his motives, he got to her first and corrupted her before anyone else could.

There's a reason there are things she knows which even her false god doesn't, there's a reason why you see balloons, parrots, black rabbits and WIRES all trying to corrupt her.

/////////////AS PER YASU (in an event I can't remember)
Akira has the power to warp reality based on what he wants to see, but he is not aware and doesn't know how to actually do it and needs "assistance"
"There are things that try to exist that shouldn't" those might be things Akira himself has created.

Everyone wants Akira's power, and maybe impregnating Yasu is the way to do so, except, he can't do it yet.
Yasu's event "Glossolalia" drops hints about ALL of this, HOPE himself mentioning when he posseses Yasu that "It's a race to the finish"

She might be the key to something big, which is why everyone is going after her, which might be why her mind is broken and can't handle all of it

All of the deities are trying to manipulate Akira to their side and implant fake feelings on girls to fall in love with him so that he can give them children.
Sekai has already twisted Akira to her will by abusing him when he was a child, producing "Ami"

if Ami really is Akira's daughter, that means she might have powers or an affinity for something greater

Here's another important player that joins this "Omnipotent child" theory, which actually links a previous theory made here before

Sara

When she was younger, we knew she started having black outs and visions, that was probably around the time where she met Nozomu, which is still supposed to be a theory

She probably got manipulated by the same deity that causes blackouts and ended having a daughter in hopes that she could receive this "misterious power" > Sana

Sara stopped having these blackouts after her "job" was done, and now that the "Relative of the holy seed" Akira appeared, all of a sudden Sana is having the same blackouts as her mother did? We know she is being manipulated to feel hornier so that she wants to plap Akira to conceive this super child.

This would mean that Sara is Akira's sister in law and that Sana is his... REAL niece?

There seems to be a theme of incest going around Akira's entire bloodline, maybe whoever is pulling the strings is TRYING to make it so, but why would Yasu be so important then?

Maybe Yasu is also related to Akira, we know from one of her events that her father also started having mental breakdowns when she appeared, could her father be Nozomu as well?



If this really was a race then

Sekai has Ami
Hope has Yasu
Pareidolia? has Sana

Maybe the catalyst is to have a girl be born from Akira's "holy seed" bloodline, and then get pregnant by it again, producing some kind of super child

I just realized that there's also a common denominator here, one of the parties is always "young", and to be specific, around 15-16 which is the ages of the girls currently, which is the age when Akira "became a father" to Ami

If all of this is true, maybe the resets happen because they need to force the girls to stay at this exact age

With anxiety and fear of disappointment, I'm betting a lot that this update will be very good so I'm afraid it will be on the same level as 0.39 as that would be really sad.
I didn't think 0.39 was that bad tbh. There were definitely misses, especially with the music (which was still annoying on the replay) and with Nodoka - but the thing that really made it miss the mark in my opinion was the fact that Akira wasn't there for the dormwars. Did it become way too silly for a lot of it? yes. But I understand why it was that way since Akira wasn't there.

See, if I had a choice about the dormwars without Akira, it would have been meaningful instead of silly, like we could have delved into the girls personal struggles and they bonding with eachother over them. The problem with that is, of course, that Akira wouldn't be there - so Selebus took it in a silly/sexual way that wouldn't detract so much from the fact that he wasn't there. Especially regarding the sexual stuff, it's like a sanitized version of sexual scenes, since they all agree not to talk about it and there's no developments between any two people. That's all because meaningful things should happen when Akira is around for them.

At least that's how I see Selebus' reasoning for that one. And I agree that it didn't work out, this is not me trying to give him an out. The reason I went over all that is to point out that the reason why it wasn't good is mainly because Akira wasn't there (and Selebus not handling it the best way), but Akira will be here henceforth. The chances of us getting another 0.39 is bordering on none imo. And from the previews alone, we already know a lot of meaninful stuff will happen.
