  • The resets can begin at an earlier point in time, e.g. before Sekai dies in the car crash
  • The resets always start at the same time but the past can be different
  • Ami has the ability to conjure Sekai in flesh despite her having died and manipulate others into thinking it's really her and that it's perfectly normal for her to reappear in her life

Option 4 -- Sekai brought herself back. After all, this Sekai behaves more like the Sekai that's been haunting Akira since Toys and less like the Sekai we see in Kyoto. And the constant references to doctors and medications is a hint that Ami and Sekai are keeping Akira heavily drugged to keep him compliant.

Option 5 -- This is a parallel timeline, not an earlier/later cycle in the core timeline. In this timeline, Sekai never died, so she's present in all cycles.

I'm leaning towards Option 4, personally.

Who do you think will be the Ch5 cover girl?

I'm thinking Yumi cos all of the chapter cover girls have been from floor 1 so far and of the remaining girls, she seems to be the most important atm, with her being involved in the happy events from the start and now becoming aware of the resets

I think Yumi is a good bet, personally I'm still waiting for something to happen to justify Sana being the cover girl for chapter 4.

Chapter 5 is supposed to be the dark route, so it would make sense to center it around a character who is either integral to it, or would suffer the most because of it.
Ami would fit, but she has already been used. Sekai could be a contender.
I'm dumb, Ch6 will be the dark route.

Ultimately though, I'm not sure how significant it would be anyway. As others have pointed out, Sana hasn't had that much screen time so far, she isn't part of the RAS either.

From Selebus' point of view, I could even understand having trouble in picking one specific character for a whole chapter. Although, I have to say, so far I would actually pick Yumi over anyone like Sana, even Sekai has been more integral so far with how much we learned about her and how often she showed up.
But maybe Yumi (or Sekai) will indeed have an even bigger impact on the overall plot in Chapter 5 and she hasn't been picked for Chapter 4 for that exact reason.

From where do we know Ch5 is the dark route? Or is that just a theory based on there being six slots right now?

I don't think it was Nodokers that was killed, I think it was Himawari. She didn't say things the way Nodoka would say. We saw how Himawari was trying to "save" Nodoka, I think that is part of it, and Ami needs Nodokers to figure something out so she is mad that Himawari is trying to interfere.

As much as I like Yumi and as much I want her to be the next chapter main girl... I believe it might be Makoto. Why? Well, she was in the RAS for a long time now and she didn't have a huge impact in the story so far. BUT! We should understand the logic behind the chapter covers first!

1730661608647.png

I would say chapter 2 was really Maya's chapter. Just like chapter 3 was Ayane's chapter. We can say Ami was the cover girl for chapter 1 because she was the first girl we saw and we spent a lot of time with her (but I don't remember anything at this point).
So... So why did Sana become the cover girl for chapter 4? Well... I can assume she had a lot of screen time at the beginning of the chapter.... But now most of her events are about being horny and..... and that's it. But all I can say now is... we have to wait for more events with Sana to make us all fall in love with this little ogre.

But let's forget about Sana for now and try to understand why these three girls became the cover girls. We know that all three of them can remember resets and loops. And I think they became the cover girls in the order in which they realized they were in a time loop. However, if that's the case, then the fourth girl should be Makoto, not Sana. Unless there's some other reason we don't know about.
Maybe it has something to do with who Sensei fell in love with first. But then again, Sensei did fall in love with Makoto before he fell in love with Sana, whom he hasn't even expressed his feelings for yet. But if we take the opposite idea as a starting point... For example, if they were in order based on who fell in love with Sensei first, that theory would have a better chance of being true. However, we now have a problem not only with Makoto, but also with Chika and Noriko and the other girls who love Sensei for a long time.
Of course, Selebus can show us a middle finger and tell that Sana was in love with Akira for many years now, so that's why she is here. Alas, Noriko is still a problem here. And if we include the tinfoil theory about Yumi and Akira having some sorta relationship far in the past cycles... Well, I think more and more that 4th chapter is actually Yumi's chapter, xddd

small note about Yumi that some may have overlooked:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Yumi's definitely main girl for chapter material. I mean, she always was, but evidence just piles up, and now even HOPE has said so.

Edit: I don't know if HOPE's talking about Akira or Maya here, could be either. Depending on the answer, it changes what he intends to want them (Ayane and Yumi) for.

I also don't understand why Sana is on the cover.
The third chapter ended with her:

She came to Sensei during the previous reset:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

And she realizes her feelings for Sensei:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I think this is a very important phrase.

But.. that's all. There is no further development yet.
Maybe we'll see it now that Sensei is free.
