My first thought was "is it time to visit Sekai's grave again?"Oh that's very good to see, Ami outside, things might finally get back to some semblance of the usual routine soon.

I don't think she despawns. I think she teleports to exactly where she needs to be (like right behind Sensei and Yuki when they're about to intrude into her father's room)The next thing is the despawning itself. Last time it happened to Tsuneyo in TH15 15NT M3, and more previously to Kaori in Wither. Both events, as well as the rest of the strange things that took place in Tojo Raman (Things Like Stairs and Blackout), came with electric blackouts. At this point it is safe to assume that these electric blackouts are byproducts of god’s work, like drawing immense power through the wires to achieve specific divine goals.
You mean the laziest, cheapest and most overused form of ending storytelling ever shat out, that usually let the story before it loose every meaning it could possible have? Why would people not love that?I doubt anyone will accept an ending akin to "it was all a dream."
A very good question. I don’t think Sensei can ever be completely redeemed, because obviously the sins of his past will always remain. However, redemption is possible in the loose sense of the word when he’s finally able to strengthen his resolve, take a hard look at his past along with the horrible things that happened, and acknowledge them.I've been thinking, how do you manage to "redeem" the MC? Like obviously, redemption would entail not screwing underage girls, but doesn't that kinda go against the entire point of the game? In a way, "redemption" is never starting the game in the first place, but again, I doubt anyone will accept an ending akin to "it was all a dream."
Agreed, in order for him to have any semblance of redemption he would need to get away from the influence of the gods (and Sekai's ghost). He did at least try as you said so there may be some hope there when this is all over.A very good question.

Akira couldn’t even remember his own name for an entire chapter or even Sekai’s face because he intentionally suppressed the trauma it brought him. Something that Niki helped him overcome in “The End of the Tour (Glasswalker)”. Still one of my favorite events in the entire game btw.
Yes, he was hated by his mother. Yes, he was groomed by Sekai. Yes, he ran out on Niki without saying a word after Sekai’s death. Yes, he repeated the cycle of grooming with his students like Sekai did to him. All of this happened.
But Akira’s problem right now is that, while he knows what he does is wrong, he almost never makes any active effort to become someone better. And when he does make an effort to become better, the gods are there to remind him that he’s their puppet to use as they see fit, whether he wants to be or not.
So to recap: I don’t believe Akira’s slate can ever be wiped completely clean, but he can at least gather the strength within himself to break the cycle of trauma and abuse, and become a better man for it. To do this, though, the gods must be dealt with somehow, some way.
As far as I remember it has been said several times that the pure endings will focus on Akira getting with each specific girl on the chosen route and having special sex scenes for each of them, so your logic doesn't make sense.I don't think he's going to be redeemed at all. In fact, I suspect the "purity" endings may exist to redeem each of the girls from the downward spiral he's dragging them down.
Out of everything we have seen in this world does life on other planets really sound that far fetched?I still have doubts about those aliens actually been real.
In general? No. But the way they are used in the story, they just feel more like a story device for diversion as something that is actually real.Out of everything we have seen in this world does life on other planets really sound that far fetched?
I mean there is a space war and if they aren't fighting aliens are they fighting space itself? And if that's the case I suddenly don't feel so bad for Maki and Makoto if their loved one got murdered by a black void of nothingness.I still have doubts about those aliens actually been real.
dont forget about yumi. even though he kissed her once, and blacks out with her around alot, he is very surprisingly adept with holding himself back. i will say that he probably will stop holding himself back with almost if not all of these girls this chapter.So far the girls that Akira has stopped himself from moving forward in the relationship are Imani, Kaori, Molly (because of the trauma he had in chapter 2) and Rin from what I remember,
Rin even pointed out that Akira could have made her fall in love with him several times but he didn't.
What is so unusual about these girls that makes Akira avoid being with them?
Is there a war? We have never seen it. And if you look at what we know of this space war, it seems again just be a a convinient explanation why there are barely any men in the city besides akira. Well that and the wall. Only that the wall in context of the space war only makes sense if you dont think about it.I mean there is a space war and if they aren't fighting aliens are they fighting space itself?

its basically sel's plot point of why there are so few men in the story. chances are, while its "real" it will have no real affect on the story other then having a male dieI(like maki and makoto case)Is there a war?

I still hope that the whole space war/wall doesnt end in some sort of dark city plottwist. And outside of the wall there is nothing but space and the whole city has just been created or removed from earth completely and all those gods are basically just the aliens who have won the war long, long ago and are now just fucking with what is left of humanity. especially maya and akira for some weird reason.
You know, ironically, Noriko did imply the space war was an economic thing:I mean there is a space war and if they aren't fighting aliens are they fighting space itself?

But you see, the death of maki's husband didnt affect the story at all. Just the fallout it caused did.its basically sel's plot point of why there are so few men in the story. chances are, while its "real" it will have no real affect on the story other then having a male dieI(like maki and makoto case)
