Could the trigger for noticing the resets just be death in general?

Maya and Ayane's deaths seem pretty obvious how they would occur in this update. Makoto I believe implied she tried to kill herself after her father's death, not to mention bluejay (although that was a couple resets ago). Even Sensei/Akira himself, the very first thing you do the in game is "Jump" implying suicide. Tsuneyo may be killing herself everytime she finds her dead father near the end of resets. Could explain why she seems to be subconsciously aware of the loops if she's dying (nearly?) every time. Yumi is the biggest flaw in that theory though, but it's not impossible she did it after the Nodoka event. Or pushing to extreme speculation maybe she would have after Akira's speech that caused that time leap.

 

[KnowNoHope]

I mean, there's no reason both can't be plausible. It's not like Sekai being involved, and Nodoka guessing likes she's claimed to be doing, can't both be happening simultaneously. But believe whatever you wish, as will I.

I'm more curious on who "Yuko" is, tbh. I feel like figuring out the house stuff is a way off.

Btw, the hexadecimal on that board in that event with Kirin and Noriko seems to be referenced in that first part of Nodoka's event you showed.

i mainly ignored yuko, cause it was a lone name drop with no context, though we had a few name drops I consider to be potentially very important to some theories down the road and screen shot them, which was nodoka's pin name and (t)rusty trombone's fathers name as well as rins other moms name.
but as for yuko i assume its a relation of yasu of some kind since we have nothing for her yet and the naming scheme of the game fits
but with no context for yuko, it could be yuki's sister for all we know if she even has one

My guess is that people who are aware of resets has encountered glitches in the world. For this theory Ayane is an outlier and she didn't accept the possibility until she made it to the rooftop. Other than that, Makoto remembers her suicide attempts, Yumi is aware of black outs (and one of the few people who Sensei usually blacks out next to them) and Tsuneyo deals with her father's power supply (could also be because when Sensei black out raped Molly, Molly was unconscious and Tsuneyo saw it right after? I'm not so sure about this one). Also when Sensei talked to Makoto on the beach, she had a migraine instead of changing the topic.

Question.
Regarding Ami's last event.
So. Clearly the girls were lied. Maya got a direction from Ami, but Ami claims she was the one who received a direction.
So, its physcho Ami making stuff up on her head? or are the Gods sending info to the girls phones just like how Sensei got that Uta picture?

Given her little smirk I think Ami was making the whole thing up, but I guess it could be the second bit.

Well, it seems like Psycho Ami could be the one fucking with Sane Ami, Maya, and Ayane. Trying to make Ami think they are betraying her, so she becomes more unstable and it gains more control. Some typical split personality stuff. Texting Maya and Ayane to go somewhere, was likely to make sure they weren't with Sensei, when this went down.

Of course, it could be something like that Mangled/Happy Ami possessing Ami at times, like what Nao seems to do. It being specifically related to the resets might mean it's like some kind of safety measure put in Ami, similar to how Tsuneyo grabbed a knife without realizing it and went towards Yuki and Sensei when they tried to talk to her father. Or how people automatically change the subject when the resets are brought up.

For now, it's not entirely clear. Psycho Ami could even be a fabrication in itself. It's hard to trust what's real or not in a world that literally rewrites memories and the deaths of virtually everyone, on top of making them see things and black out seemingly whenever.

Look at her pen name. It is S.A.
It was also heavy implied a woman comes to her in her dreams and when she is having a manic episode when writing.
I'm taking a wild guess that she didn't actually write those books...
But a certain red haired ghost with the initials SA used nodoka as a (lol) ghost writer.
Her monolog on the train also came off very.. possessed vibes

Sekai Arakawa
Nodoka Nagasawa

S.A. Nagahara

nagahara is also a location and a flute company brand

Not exactly, Lavender hair has come up quite a bit, and Yuko was being noted to be busy saving someone while the person who loved lavender due to the lavender hairs that came with their books, and loved Yuko the most, seemed to be dying downstairs.

There's also how the gray food has been mentioned with Lavender hair by Nodoka, and that person who loved Lavender referenced a hexidecimal that appeared on the wall during Kirin's "Bye, bye, boner" event, where they watched the house movie.

I have no idea the importance of Yuko, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. Not to mention the whole "There's something in the attic" that is shown while talking about Yuko.

Also Yuki might have had a sister or at least had a sister in law since Kaori is her niece. It's possible that Yuko could be related to Yuki. It's also possible Yuko might be the one who was helping with Chinami since they were always busy saving someone, and I'm not sure if anyone else fits.

Then again who knows. Could be nothing all that important.

ah cool, thought this was the first name drop for that

Aha! The origin of Nao!

Oh, it is the first name drop for Yuko, I think, but the context around the name being dropped is related to most of the house stuff that shows up.

Besides being loved by the person that loves Lavender, always being busy saving someone else, and apparently screaming when finding the corpse of the one who loves Lavender, not much else was said about Yuko, by Nodoka.

It kind of reminds me of Osako and Wakana though. Osako is loved by Wakana, but was busy helping Molly when Wakana overdosed, and Wakana seems to love lavender.

i thought of wakana too...but felt it was to much of a gut reaction to go on... then i found that damn tennis players name and went...wtf
I normally try to stay out low info theory craft like this though least I make something and get biased about it.
but gut feeling about the upside down house and i dont want to go looking through events to double check... I thought there was an event where you could partially see some of the outside house of akira's childhood home and i cant recall if it looked like that or not. but might be something to look for by people that do like deep diving events
take that with an extreme grain of salt

I have no idea where that would be, but it's definitely something I'll keep an eye out for.

I'm a little like Maya, just testing and experimenting and hoping the world doesn't implode if I say something wrong.

 

[fdsasdf_p]

Most of the class seem to know of Haruka (Molly's DnD and Manga club stuff has been at her cafe, and a few of the girls are insecure about her breasts which I wouldn't doubt gets around), her husband being gone is a given, given the space war, and Sensei is, well, Sensei, so it's likely more of an educated guess, overall.

Not sure if it's mentioned or not if you've declined Haruka in that timeline, though. If it's still mentioned, and he hasn't actually done it, then it's probably just for flavor.

Quickly checked that scene for you with an avoid all possible sex save, and it did not make a difference.
So supposedly Nodoka just learned about the existence and perhaps situation of Haruka through Rin, and still included her into the book; if you didn’t fuck Haruka then Nodoka just let her imagination fly and arrived at something scarily close to the truth in an another parallel plane.

Edit: fuck where can I buy this book of hers!!!

Nice, I thought that might've been a possibility. Thanks for checking it out.

Btw, can we, like, talk about the chicken in the room?

Just a theory, but Nao-chan might be some sort of prototype perfect child for Sensei. I hope she's not meant to be the perfect wife or lover or something. Then again, who knows with Sensei's... tastes.

I definitely think she's some kind of amalgam of Tsuneyo, Yumi, Ami, and Maya though. Just the traits that stand out the most to Sensei. The parts he loves the most perhaps. Or maybe the parts Nao-chan's creator thinks he'd like the most.

Her facial expressions remind me of Chinami, also.
