Another (light novel)
| Most common theory basically goes: -Class 3-3 refused to accept Misaki's death hence Misaki didn't move on. - As a result of Misaki's inability to move on the whole class was moved towards "death" and therefore the class itself accepts the dead. - Every year hence a dead person related to the class finds himself/herself trapped back in it and the class is therefore dragged towards death (hence people start dying). That's all they theorize, based mostly on superstition, and mind you Japanese superstition is a little different from Westerner's ideas. Funny part, Yomiyama North Middle School is commonly shortened to "Yomi North". Yomi is the japanese name for the underworld. |

| we know why it started(more or less), but the nature of phenomena is a complete mystery so is Misaki's Magic Cheat Eye of Hacking +5 so, I'd say the player didn't reach the True End |
nathanr said: Lol, but yeah basically. We do now it's just apparently just a natural result of denying the dead, in other words it's not a curse. No one or no thing cursed the class. It just happens, they denied the dead and accepted their existence as living therefore death envelopes them, kinda like the tales of people who carelessly treaded upon the tombs of the dead and earned death in return.we know why it started(more or less), but the nature of phenomena is a complete mystery so is Misaki's Magic Cheat Eye of Hacking +5 so, I'd say the player didn't reach the True End But the author is apparently working on a sequel so who knows, maybe a more conclusive answer will be there. This part however was only meant to show the urse. |

Hm, hm, hm. It's like a perpetuum mobile O_o So, there's a chance that: the qeue will grow larger; the phenomenon will go on forever or get stronger (like more than one extra per year/more than one class affected). I wonder - what would happen if the whole class (including homeroom teacher) was killed? Or if this school was closed? Let's go even further - nuke the whole city at the very start of the school year! Phenomenon gets trolled - no one gets killed by it and extras don't have a place to appear! Ha-ha! Problem? :D |
orzel286 said: If people accepted the supernatural event then sure, but a supernatural story ussually runs on the fact people are skpetical of it (besides those directly affected. In Another, no one besides Class 3-3 and the teachers who have lead the class (before or in the current year) believe in the phenomenom. The Principal of the school doesn't believe it, the town isn't even aware of the connection nor do they know the story of Yomiyama Misaki, and the other teachers don't want to get involved on the off-chance it is true and they get caught up in it too.

Problem? :D Personally, the only way I see the cycle ending is by either returning Misaki, and everyone who has died, back to a peacefull slumber somehow (which is partially how they came up with the non-existing student tactic) or by destroying the school itself. But there are loopholes with the last one too, the phenomenom could potentially move to whichever school most of the students were transfered to, or to the other Junior High in Yomiyama (there's two of them apparently). It all depends on how sadistic the author wants to be. And also, if the town officials and even the Principal don't believe there's a "curse" how can you convince them to shut down a whole school just because of some supernatural "fantasy"? |

You guys are giving the explanation as to what the phenomenon is rather than the actual mystery behind it and how it actually works. Well, if you see a Magician here, who could explain a theory of magic and principles of how curses works use private masseges. Tell us if he come up with anything useful. |
Finjas said: Pretty much. We know what we know. We can't pretend to know things that AREN'T THERE. And technically, The phenomenom's trigger is the "resurrection" of Misaki, or the denial of his death. There's laws governing it but there's no reason behind said laws other than give the whole thing an apparent sense of "controlled force" rather than just being a chaotic curse. Perhaps if they did find the reason behind why the phenomenom acts the way it does they could have broken it permanently but they didn't and honestly I think the author of the Novel just wanted to save that for the sequel.spigot said: Leon-Gun said: Most common theory basically goes: -Class 3-3 refused to accept Misaki's death hence Misaki didn't move on. - As a result of Misaki's inability to move on the whole class was moved towards "death" and therefore the class itself accepts the dead. - Every year hence a dead person related to the class finds himself/herself trapped back in it and the class is therefore dragged towards death (hence people start dying).

May I also add, a lot of the mechanics run on parallel with common japanese superstitions. Why do you think they skip the 4th floor, for example. Because it's death. |
