So ok this was a unique final and all but two things made me feel a bit unsatisfied

1: After all the bonding Yuri did with the crew, the final loop is one where only the original 5 is present. The rest is nowhere. Now obviously we know all of them are happy in some timelines like the one where Yuri started his new looping from but that is just not enough for me, i wish they would end on a loop where everybody is together. And it is not even like the rest is just not in the ship but still happy because it is established that a crew not being in the ship means they could NOT escape from Liu an which is a war zone so they are most likely dead now. Especially Jonas who owns the ship and Stella who is ship’s ai don’t even have their own ship now. Like i think it is a mistake that after everything and that entire farewell party for Yuri, we ended on a loop where the crew is scattered instead of all of them being together, it almost feels like Yuri just sacrificed them all for Setsu AND there is the fact that if Yuri actually disappeared or looped in the end (i did not fully understand that part, he said he will disappear but i doubt it happened) makes it even sadder, as now he and the Setsu that finished looping are not in the same timeline again

2: By turning Manan into Kukrushka and giving her the silver key, Setsu is now responsible for ALL the times Kukrushka goes berserk. They know that she is Manan, they personally witnessed she can go out of control and yet they still hand her basically immortality and access to countless timelines she would normally not have any access in (unless SQ is not Gnosia) as Kukrushka. Like they literally made Manan a more present threat as she is now in more timelines than just the ones SQ is Gnosia. I mean we did see Kukrushka is capable of good at times like how she sacrificed herself for Yuri in the AC follower timeline but they KNOW that she is crazy and WILL go berserk at times and massacre everybody any yet they still basically create the situation that allows that. Why ?

To be fair, someone on that ship had to be fucked over to free Setsu from her key and people like SQ, but no one would mourn Manan. If someone had to get the boot, having it be Manan - and only Manan - is the easiest option.

Silver key does not need to be given to a new host. Yuri’s first silver key just opened the gate and went, so Setsu’s silver key also could do the same no ? They did not need to give it to someone else

Now granted in this way SQ/Manan has to be put into cold sleep thus the real SQ won’t be freed but is one SQ really worth all the massacres Manan will commit as Kukrushka especially when at least one of those massacres ended up killing SQ too ?

Someone had to go through the portal to close out the looping. I think it was made more explicit in the game, but you couldn't simply toss a full Silver Key through the portal and call it a day.

Ohhhhh. Now it makes a bit more sense
