Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (light novel)
Marty_McFlew said: 1. Can someone explain the plot after Mai was killed? 2. How was Shoka alive even after when Sakuta (bunny suit Sakuta) saved Mai and himself 3. Was the timeline reset after Sakuta (in the bunny suit) saved himself? I really did enjoy the movie but I just don't really understand this timeline stuff. It would be greately appreciated if someone could explain. 1. After Mai was killed, she also had a donor card, so she, instead of Sakuta, was the one to give Shoko a heart. Also, because of this, he and Shoko gets married. 2. She got the heart transplant conducted in time, so she lives. Basically like this, Bunny Sakuta saves himself > timeline reset because of Shoko > Kid Shoko gets heart transplant in time before her disease gets worse > Sakuta and Future Shoko DOESN'T meet > Sakuta's puberty syndrome doesn't happen > anime series (ep 1-13) except the scar on his body > everybody lives and the car accident didn't happen since Future Shoko wasn't there to make him choose between Shoko and Mai. There are three timelines in the movie, where he got involved in a car accident, he dies, Shoko gets his heart. Where Mai sacrifices herself and she dies, Shoko gets her heart. Where everyone lives, and the Rascal life continues without problems. In the first two timelines, Future Shoko is involved so he will always need to make a choice. insert steins gate 3. Well, yes. I don't remember much, but I think Shoko was the one to reset the timeline, she tried to make a timeline where she and Sakuta doesn't meet. |

Sakuta forgot about Shoko because the whole timeline was reset.

Mai also had a vague idea of who Shoko was because she also "dreamt" about her, thus the movie about Shoko in the end. Shoko also knew, because naturally, she was the one who have gone to the past and resolute herself for the future, thus in the end, making her dream journal complete. She got a heart donor in time, because of the movie of Mai, just like what you said. Anyway, this is just my understanding of the movie. Hope they could atleast make a season 2. |

| Yeap, as I understood, when Shouko is in the ICU she tells Sakuta that she knows everything is a "dream", and that she will reset everything so that they don't meet and the events in the movie don't occur. This left me with a couple of questions though. First and foremost: why did little Shouko survived even though the "dream" showed she would have need a transplant in the future? As you mentioned, the idea is that all of them kind of retained those "dreams", that's why Mai did that movie, and Shouko got a transplant thanks to the "publicity". But then my second question was...: Why did everything happened exactly the same?? They finished everything as if Shouko's presence in their lives had no effect!! Everything happening exactly the same even if she isn't there is really sad. During the movie, Sakuta discusses with Futaba the possibility of restarting again, and Futaba tells him how that is pretty uncertain, because if adult Shouko doesn't exist and doesn't meet with Sakuta, he probably would have never gone to that highschool and meet... basically anyone in the series. Is this because he retained those "dreams" too, and without knowing he ended up in the same school nevertheless, or is it just because? No reason? Anyways, it was an amazing movie. |

Zero1827 said: So basically Shouko's syndrome is like a more powerful version of Koga's syndrome, where she "dreamed" a whole life and then come back to the present except that her dreams influenced the lives of other people, which lead to Mai to make a movie about heart transplant which lead to publicity and that saved her life, that means that the final timeline is a world where none of the main cast met Shouko but some people (the main cast) had dreams about the different timelines. sorry for my bad english I don't really see it as a more powerful version of Koga's syndrome. They are similar in how they help its user, but they work completely different. For starters, during Koga's event, no one could remember the repetitions (except Sakuta because of his quantum entanglement with Koga), because they just didn't happen. She was predicting it. What we saw was a simulation. However, as I understand, all the things we see in the movie DO happen. They are just different alternate realities (that Shouko can see) so to speak. That's why they all remember them as dreams afterwards. I was going to explain it in details but is too extense to be honest xDD But I thought clearing that was important at least, to understand the differences. It is confusing because during the movie they call them past present and future to make it simpler, but it's not like that. |

_afath said: can anyone explain why at the end of the film sakuta can remember shoko (during the flashback scene). even though before sakuta didn't remember it? He did remember it. He just forgot. (I know this sounds contradicting but let me explain). Everything wee see during the movie actually happened, but he remembers it as a dream, not as real. Haven't you ever had this feeling of having frogotten what you have dreamt that night, and just then someone mentions something about a dog, and your brain just sees enlightenment, suddenly remembering: oh, I dreamt about a dog today! That's most probably the same that happens to Sakuta. |

Chungdirung said: So the result 1st world: Sakuta die, Shouko and then Mai-san come back 2nd world: Mai-san die, Sakuta come back 3rd world: Shouko-san die, Mai-san lets Sakuta come back 4th world: (Sakuta come back 3 years and save Shouko form Heat-failure) They're all servive So it's take 3 World, 3 death and take a lot of effort to make a happy ending I don't think Sakuta goes back in time. I have the impression that it was Shouko. It all began with the fact that she was afraid of her future and could not decide, therefore her syndrome arose. So at the end of the film, she decided not to grieve and not burden Sakuta with her own problems, that's why she wanted to change future. Therefore, she wrote her dreams at lesson in school as she should. Perhaps she lived a full life and didn't care about the disease. Maybe by accident fate somehow caused her recovery. But this is not important, it's now obvious that Sakuta and the rest survived in the 4th world. Because history has changed again the question is, others fate has not changed? I am thinking in particular about younger sister. Did she still has the syndrome? It looked ambiguous in last scenes. Or maybe she has just a more delicate character after "reading the diary in the hospital" scene from the TV series. I'm curious of it. Although it is known now that, if it's true, the main character will be able to solve it (because he has already done it once). |

Reevansingh21 said: if anyone can answer this question please do how can makinohara remember sakuta if her future self never met sakuta wouldn't makinohara past self forgot sakuta if her future never sakuta because if your past self never sakuta then how can your past remember sakuta Although it was explained kind of like time travel, her adolescence syndrome isn't actually time travel. It's the ability to recognize that what is happening is a dream about a potential future. Shouko recognizes Sakuta as the boy she dreamt of falling in love with. What she dreamed of happened and didn't happen because dreams are the one place where you can abandon common sense. And the way it actually works can be thought of like this situation: You're asleep and dreaming. But then you realize, "Wait, this isn't actually happening; I'm dreaming and I have to wake up." Then you wake up and what you dreamt about was just a vivid dream. |
