If Kumon-mi is a purgatory, I don't think every single character is dead. I think some of the characters are specifically PART of it, they're there to test, tempt, or otherwise challenge those sentenced to it. Nodoka, in particular, feels like she'd be part of that world, rather than someone being subjected to it.
My theory is that it wasn't exactly suicide in the traditional terms; it was a bout of hallucinations during which Sensei just stepped off the roof believing he could fly.
I can definitely see this applying to Kirin. Ignoring how she was intended to be a side character originally, Yasu has more or less said she only exists when she needs to:
Tbh I don't know how I would feel if the story is going in the direction of "Maya abused/manipulated Sensei", my theory has always been that Sensei replicated the abuse and grooming he received from Sekai with Maya and when he eventually realized how much he damaged her life (and possibly some other things like stillbirth being involved) he decided to "undo it all".
This is a questionable game, and I think that ship has already sailed:
I mean this game has always been extremely questionable. Most of us would probably lose our jobs if it came to light that we play this. Sel himself has also demonstrated some very questionable views (outright stating he felt teenagers are better looking than adults etc).

It's a tough subject, biologically we're primed to be attracted to girls around 15, for so many reasons, but i'd like to assume most of us here recognise a distinct separation between what our dicks tell us is right and what our brains say is right just as i'd like to assume we understand the difference between fiction and reality. I wouldn't enjoy any of this story if it were real, it's completely fucked up, which makes great fiction, but super gross reality. It's a pity though that the current societal gestalt can't tolerate this subject even in fiction but it is what it is and i like that i at least have this little hang out where the subject is actually discussable, in as far as staying on the topic of the game is concerned.
I don't know if that's accurate, unless use age as a proxy for other things, that are actuall points of attractions for males. Mainly secondary sex characteristics, smoother skin, "cute" facial proportions (that disappear as we age).
I think it's safe to say the dick wants, what the dick wants:
Ah, yeah, i meant more like, from 15 and up, like the average age of attraction starts around 14-15 and ends up around 23-24, like, that's the meat of the bell curve, i've seen stats for it several times throughout the years and it fits our species like every others when factoring in the differing biological demands and other variables. I'm not going to go and google it now though
What i'm saying is that age is mostly just a proxy for things males find highly desireble for fuck partners (not for actual sustainable relationship, mind you). It's not an age thing per se, but it maps on perfectly on high fertility age range.Ah, yeah, i meant more like, from 15 and up, like the average age of attraction starts around 14-15 and ends up around 23-24, like, that's the meat of the bell curve, i've seen stats for it several times throughout the years and it fits our species like every others when factoring in the differing biological demands and other variables.

Yeah but... isn't that kind of splitting a single hair? The two aren't just correlated, they're intrinsically linked. We find the features of ideal fertility range attractive cause they're the features of ideal fertility age? Maybe i'm not understanding you, i used the numbers cause that was what was being discussed but i never meant it was all about the numbers, i'm not thinking 'damn, want me some 15 year old pussy' but instead it's my dick going 'that, mate with that'.
I know, but it is how its often being framed. I wasn't really arguing the point, just adding stuff i felt were important to note.
Tsuneyo has a strike-first mentality to fighting, while Ayane seemed skittish at the idea of killing people even on Sensei's behalf during the truth or dare game. i doubt Tsuneyo could block bullets but the fight would be over before Ayane could pull out a hammerspace weapon.
Kendo skill and experience doesn't really translate well to hand to hand combat.
