I enjoyed this anime until the very end, even though I got pretty confused when the "Bug" plotline started appearing. I have a few questions:

  1. In the first ending, when Setsu brings the original Yuri's body, does it have to be to a universe where Yuri didn't survive? If he had survived in that timeline, wouldn't having two Yuris destroy the universe again?
  2. Initially, I thought Setsu had to give the Silver Key to Yuri in original timeline for it to work. However, I guess it just needs to be given to the "Bug" Yuri, regardless of which timeline he and Setsu are in?
  3. What exactly happens to Yuri and the Silver Key at the end? He mentions that Gnos will delete him and the Silver Key. Even if he isn't deleted, isn't it just his consciousness in that body, meaning he would just be sent back to another timeline? My assumption, based on his smile at the end, is that everything works out in his favor (he gets to stay with Setsu, and Gnos deletes the Silver Key so he no longer has to loop).
  4. Do Yuri and Setsu not go back to their original timelines? I'm fine with whatever timeline they end up in, but if they are in a new one without looping anymore, does that mean only the five of them survive? I was hoping to see a timeline where everyone survives.
  5. I also wanted to see Kukrushka survive, but I guess it's for the best if she doesn't, since she is actually Manan? Also, why does Kukrushka disappear when Setsu does during Yuri's second loop? Was that ever answered?

  1. Yuri is always the first victim so original Yuri already gets killed by Manan/Gnosia SQ.

  2. As long as Yuri and Setsu exist together here, it is fine. So Gnos deletes the Silver Key and Setsu gives their Silver Key to Manan.

  3. Setsu brings the original Yuri in Day 0 over so Setsu gives their Silver Key to the original Yuri in the first place. The Silver Key transfer consciousness into the world line's body. Bug Yuri and original can become one because they have the same conciousness and have these memories.

  4. I supposed so. Yuri wants everyone to be happy so YurI resolved to end Setsu's loop. We know the world line where Yuri leaves, everyone loves their normal life so we can call it task done.

  5. Kukrushka is always Manan yeah, she gets what she wants. Here is what I think. Yuri starts jumping in "Setsu doesn't exist" world line (second playthrough) so the Silver Key could only make that variable world lines from there (since Setsu doesn't exist, it isn't just "not make it onto the ship"). While Kukrushka starts where Yuri in episode 1 starts so Kukrushka can go to Yuri's past world lines in the first playthrough but not to the second playthrough because there can't be "Setsu doesn't exist" world lines normally.
