You misintepreted my theory. I didn't mean Yoshino or Mahiro would try to kill Aika, of course not. My answer to your question is that there might be no reason. The Mage of Exodus is the entity bounded by logic of destruction. Maybe he (either of the two) will try to send Hakaze back to save Aika, but turn out opposite in the process by Exodus logic?

BTW, is Hakaze not allowed to kill? I thought she as the Mage Genesis is beyond that restricion. Did I misundertood?
1. The words "logic of destruction" does NOT explain itself. What exactly is that?

2. There is no such a thing as Time Travel in this show. The only thing that was explained to be working is "Swapping" using Magic and can cross time. There are conditions to that. And I shouldn't explain that because you already knew that in this episode. To make it short, Hakaze can NOT go back to save Aika because she wasn't there in the first place, she was stuck in the island.

Hakaze maybe a Mage Genesis but she also a member and a leader of Kusaribe clan. Unless they state it otherwise, therefore she is also bound by the clan's rule which is not allow to kill.

I haven't read the manga, but from an outsider's perspective, they've done a phenomenal job with the adaptation. All the drama dragging on never felt excessive, and I'm just looking forward to every episode for the mystery to unfold. Great series. Perhaps under the radar even.

From the moment that time distortions are present you can never assume that. IMO time-travel is completely possible.

Nop not in this show.
There's two popular theory about time travel:
-One is the single verse theory which state that fate is pretty much pre-determined. If you go to the past, you will not change the future because the future already took in account that you'll go back to the past before you even did.
If I drank a coffee this morning and went back in the past later, it'll be impossible to undo the event of me drinking a coffee this morning.

Other people suggest that changing the future might be doable but it would create a paradox and the world would end.

-The second one is the multiverse theory. When you go to the past you actually go into another world. Whatever you do will affect the future and you cannot create a paradox there because you are affecting a reality which isn't your own.
If you are in a world X and you go to the past you will go to a world Y that is exactly the same as the past of your world and even if you got the impression of changing the past you'll just live in this alternate world until you decide to use time travel again.


The show follow the former theory so Aika's killer will always be the same person and that person is supposed to be aware that he is the one that killed Aika except in the case of a memory wipe.
Most anime like Medaka and Steins;gate use the multi-verse theory hence why you probably believed that this could happen.

I did not say Hakaze would save Aika. I said and I will say it again: Time travel is completely possible. Hakaze might travel back in time following the first theory you posted: it was already pre-determined that she would, and so, Aika will still die. The same way it happened for Samon: she had to leave her bones behind so he could find them and nothing changed.
IMO, As long as Hakaze doesnt see anyone from Kusaribe clan, it doesnt create inconsistency. But then, besides the "time-travel" thingie, we have magic and since this is fiction, they dont have to follow the regular standards, so who knows if they actually could find a way to save Aika through magic? If Im not in mistake the tree of genesis follows logic, but the tree of zetsuen doesnt...certainly there must be a way who defies logic, to save Aika, IMO.

In fiction anything can happen and it doesn't have to follow any rule but in a show that doesn't follow its own rule then we called it "plot hole".

As of now, in this show, Hakaze can NOT just go wherever or whenever she want just because she can use magic. So what is your theory that say Hakaze can time travel wherever and whenever she want?

I would like to know where did i write that Hakaze can travel wherever or whenever she wants. I hinted that there might be certain times she might do it in special circumstances like the one we are watching now with her voice and flesh traveling through time.

If only there was a part of her body existed in Aika's time but unfortunately there wasn't. Unless you can give me proof of that.

1. To put it simply, the logic that defy the tree of Genesis. While the tree of Genesis tries to keep the world balanced and logical, the tree of Exodus will do otherwise.

2. Mostly what Orulyon said, I'd say. While there is no proof saying Hakaze can go back to the past, there is also no solid proof saying she cannot. Your so-called plot-hole is an easy one to fill. For example, the author can just put anything similar to Hakaze's body somewhere in the past coincidentally and saying "There is no such thing as coincidence. Everything is out of the Tree's will."

Last one I cannot agree with. Unless they clearly state it otherwise, it is possible that Hakaze is beyond the rule.

That does not work.
The reason it work now is because Hakaze is actually going to the future (and not the past) and leave her bones in the past which does not create any time paradox.

It's not that easy to go to the past in their circumstances.
Let's say we are in 2015 and Hakaze decide to go back in 2012. That means that in 2012 Hakaze had her memory of the future (2012 to 2015) which she doesn't.
She need an extremely huge amount of magic plus a very strong connection to cross time and need not to create any time paradox and god knows how fucking easy it is to do so, simply kicking a stone that wasn't supposed to be kicked can pretty much blow up causality and destroy the universe.

The only thing that possess a strong enough connection for someone to cross time is their own bodies so there cannot be two Hakaze in the same time.

I really thought it would be that Junichirou or w/e his name is kid . . . I mean he is kind of suspicious. However, having said that, why would the Exodus mage target Aika then? It seems that her death was beneficial to the Genesis tree . . .

Another episode full of talking, it's interesting seeing the dynamics change throughout the anime. Which is one is in the right? The tree of Genesis or the tree of Exodus? Since we've known Hakaze longer than Samon, we tend to want to take her side, but is she really in the right? At least, Mahiro doesn't seem to be as biased as Yoshino. When it was announced that nobody in the Kurasibe tribed killed Aika, I immediately thought of suicide, but it doesn't seem like that was the case.

Maybe Jun? He seems like the type who would do something like that.

Aika is definitely the Tree of Exodus' mage. She's the one who set everything into motion, there's no other person. She must've killed herself.

I mean the bones are being replaced and are taken to past and then two years after They will be found by Samon and will be send back again.... Seriously that's not possible they will decoy overtime completing the cycle.....

Aika is without a doubt the Mage of Exodus. I mean come on, who else could avoid logic if she herself was Exodus, thus killing herself. No signs of real proof of someone else killing her, she had to do it herself.

If I'm wrong I'll facepalm.

Nope I dont think you are wrong, it is the perfect twist to puzzle everything together, just as Hakaze is the princess of the Tree of Genesis, Aika is the princess of the Tree of Exodus.
Which leads to theorize that the destruction of one tree versus the other is not the solution to preserve the world, but the coexistence is.
I m getting some vibes from Ga Rei manga with this, and I definitly am liking the direction that it is taking, I just hope it keeps me on the edge, and avoids being preditable cuz right now, that is the anime biggest strenght, second to the interaction between the MC cast (Aika, Yoshino, Mahiro and Hakaze).
