It's been a long time since I've saw it so I may be misremembering, but I recall an image of Selebus saying in discord that not all purity routes will be happy, and some may not end with Sensei and the girl together either.

Well I did stumble across this interaction that was fairly recent and sounds a bit similar.

Not the biggest fan of yuritopia and only like it if Sensei’s involved, so not sure how I feel about this. But hey. We still don’t know a lot about it just yet.

One question is what do you think the pure routes will be like? We know it's going to be Akira x a specific girl, but what will that be like? Will it be a totally new story? an alternative continuation of the dark route? I'm genuinely curious to know how Selly plans to do these pure routes.

My guess is that the purity routes will be new cycles focused on a single girl. This could be one of two ways: either Akira takes control of it and chooses to just go after one person, or (and maybe more likely) we'll see a cycle where the girl is in control of TERMINAL 23. More or less like what Rin dreams about, and keeps punching the reset until she finds the universe where Chika's her girlfriend. It could be like that, Rin finds the universe where Akira is love with her and only her. And that is the same for every girl. If they don't end up with Akira, then it makes even more sense for them to be the players in that cycle.

Here's what I'm basing this on: there is a true end that only becomes available after you complete all purity routes. Now, why would a true end need every possible main and side character to have their dreams fullfilled first? My assumption is that it's because Akira has assumed control after the dark route, and will give every single one of these people their perfect life before pulling the plug on the simulation/resets.

True end, in my guess, is the end to the simulation. Akira walks out the door. That makes it true, because it's the only real end - in all the others the simulation is still going. Real life can't be pure, however, you can, if you take control over a simulation, enginner purity. You can create a perfect world.

Obviously I could be absolutely wrong in all aspects.

Edit: Also, in this solution - every single purity route and true end exist in the same timeline. It's all canon.

I repeat what I said a few months ago, I at least expect something happy in this true ending, I just want something minimally happy to make it worth it, because if it's a sad or poorly written ending I will genuinely be disappointed as hell with Lil.

I suppose it depends on what you consider to be a "happy ending", but I personally would be disappointed if the ending is a simple " Years have now passed and I'm a better person now, glad I now have a family of my own and live happy and didn't ruin anyone else's life in the process" <-- That sounds shit, and that is technically a "happy ending".

Now I know you said minimally happy, but the only real outcome that I would consider a happy ending, is one where the girls get over Akira and realize he really is a shit guy; which to be fair, he has acknowledged many times and not just out of self deprecation. Though even if there is an ending where Akira can overcome all of his shit side and at least die in peace with the fact that he accepts what he is and what he has done, I'd be all right with that, a part of me thinks he has been dead all along to be honest.

I'm midway through a replay of Chapter 1, here's a collection of things that amused me or otherwise hit differently the second time around. Spoiler warning: this is Chapter 1 content but there are some references to things that happen much later in the story.


There sure is a lot of foreshadowing of (or just joking nods to) being stuck in an infinite loop. All from before the first reset:

That was an awesome post, please keep it going. Also, it's a chance to take a look at both narrators and colors. I had the inkling that Himawari was narrating the Amamiya x Arakawa battles for instance.

And the Maya reactions during the first two chapters go hard. It's difficult to watch.

Edit: Also, I keep comparing Ami's short hair with Himawari's - which I know it's unrelated and most likely means nothing, but I had to get this out of my chest.

Even Yumi will probably end up cucking her before all is said and done. Frankly, I'll be surprised if Noriko doesn't walk in on Sensei and Yumi at some point. Poor girl.

Lets be honest. At this rate Noriko is going to end up walking in on Sensei engaged in an orgy with all the main and side characters involved before she gets her own shot the way her luck seems to run.
