| You would almost forget about the good action after such a powerful ending. Aah Aika, I love her :( |

| Damn, I'm just speechless at the moment. It's wicked that she could come up with such a plan but I'm looking forward to seeing how the final battle will go. Next episode will be featuring her too, that's certainly a bonus! Some fantastic action scenes there too by the way. Aika is too bloody strong though, it must be said. |

| "AIKA, I'LL PREVENT YOUR DEATH EVEN IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU!" Epic moment of this episode. Now, HOW i could made it all better: "WHY THEY DIDN'T USE THAT DOLL FOR A DEEP FAREWELL?!" It would solve everything. Hearing Aika explain herself would complete free the future Mahino and Yoshino of their ghosts. And as soon Aika comes back, they will know it all anyway. Makes no difference to hear it from Aika herself. That damn escuse (by purpose) to disable the doll was the weak part of the plot The last mistery of this anime: The paradox of the Bones. I dont think she will move back to the future/present, otherwise she would need to go back to the island just to leave the bones there, and that bones would never be from her body. Paradox. |

| Aika has to be the most cool a person could be while talking about killing themselves xD Jokes aside, this conclusion of Aika ultimately killing herself to "save" the rest seems to be the most working outcome, after coming this far. But then again, one could argue she wouldn't have killed herself if Hakaze didn't brief her about the future events by returning all the way to the past, though those are the simple repercussions of playing time travel into the plot, so... Now if they should just explain Aika's origins or something along those lines, it'd be a big help. |

| Surely there had to be another way. |
| As I hypothesised in the second episode's thread, Aika's death was a suicide case. People don't generally die in such a picturesque way if they were suddenly killed by someone else. Despite Hakaze claiming she wouldn't bother preventing Aika's death in the past, she attempts to do so regardless, but is outmatched. Loved the visuals in this episode, even if the laughably out of place Shakesphere quotes and pinballing motives weren't overly engaging. At least Aika herself was more cohesive in her goals. |

| It was fully predictable Aika would kill herself, in order to close/fulfill the time loop. What was weird was not that Aika chose to do this, but that Hakaze never considered she would do it, despite telling her everything about the future. At the end Hakaze was the effective killer of Aika after all. Causality is... messy here, assuming one even exists. Aika's death is the catalyst of the entire story. Said story tries to smoothen or conceal its time paradoxes, but they still exist. That's because, unlike for instance Steins;Gate, this is a single timeline time travel story*. The causality of Aika's death is not only reversed on its head, but her death is both the cause and effect of the same event: Hakaze connecting with Mahiro and Yoshiro. Hakaze's first time travel (past -> present) is also both the cause and effect of her second time travel (present -> past); both are the cause and result of the other. There is no linear causality or sequence of events at any point, which is common in time travel stories. *In a multi-timeline story, if Aika decided to not kill herself a new timeline would be formed and diverge from the original one. In the new timeline Aika would live, so Hakaze would never meet Mahiro and Yoshiro, and probably never escape that island (unless Samon summoned her), while in the original timeline Aika would kill herself and the events of the story would proceed identically. Each new timeline is a new parallel universe, spawned the moment the actions or information of a time traveler from the future affect the parent universe in any way. Each of those actions/intel serve the role of a new Big Bang. In contrast a single timeline time travel story can be (hard) paradox free only if it obeys the Novikov self-consistency principle: If you time travel ~2,000 years into the past to save Jesus you are the one who will end up crucified and that was always the case; if you murder Hitler as a baby you'll end up becoming Hitler yourself, and you realize it was always you all along etc In summary all time travel from the future has already happened and is a part of history; time travel cannot change the past, it can only fulfill it (➡️ Aika's death); and some time travelers might be... their own grandparents 🥴 |
