I love this show to death, but I got to admit that I'm a bit confused with the last part.

Sooooo:

  1. Stella is LeVi but LeVi isn't Stella....

  2. SQ is only Manan when SQ is a Gnosia.

  3. Manan is Kukrushka otherwise.

  4. Kukrushka only appears when there is a Setsu there.

  5. Kukrushka is mute.

My Questions: 1. Was Kukrushka (Manan) a looper in the 1st world? I ask because after she spent time with Otome on Planet Nada ....she vanished. And Jonas died alone....

  1. Is the reason for two Kukrushkas because of Setsu?

  2. Why is Kukrushka mute: like did the transfer mess something up or is she just doing that?

  3. Why does Remnan trigger the Kukrushka murder apocalypse?

Else:

I REALLY LOVE THE SHOW!!!!! I choose to headcanon Bug Yuri staying conscious in that world with Setsu. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYBODY ELSE LOL. DOES THIS WORLD HAVE AN SQ?!

Very beautiful show. Loved the colors, loved the music, loved the plot, loved the characters, loved the designs!!!! This anime is like a 9/10!!!!!!!! (Honestly it's a 10, but only a 9 because I can't recommend it to the Shonen lover crowd).

I think I might go ahead and cave and get the game. AND I definitely gotta rewatch it now in English since the Dub is mostly out.

As i understood

1: Stella is a part of Levi but also in a way distinct which is why Stella can be a Gnosia without Levi knowing. Like both Levi and Stella would still in a way identify as each other but also acknowledge that there is a difference. I assume the best way to put it is Stella is Levi as a ''human'' so Setsu acknowledging Stella was calling to Levi's human self

3: That is wrong. Kukrushka and SQ being Manan have no correlation to each other. SQ is indeed only Manan when she is a Gnosia but Kukrushka is always Manan and is looping. She can very well end on a loop where SQ is Gnosia thus Manan which means there would be two Manan (one SQ the other Kukrushka). Kukrushka only becomes Manan in this episodes and starts lopping so anytime we saw Kukrushka in the series she had already experienced this episode and SQ being a Gnosia does not mean Kukrushka cannot loop to that world. There is no ''Manan is Kukrushka if she is not SQ'' kind of thing as all the Kukrushka we see is the one that is looping

4: Setsu needs to give their silver key to Kukrushka so since Yuri was looping without Setsu existing Kukrushka stopped existing too as Kukrushka can only loop after Setsu gives her the key

Question 1: Yes Kukrushka was always a looper, she vanished as the time for her to loop has came

Question 2: I assume so, another Kukrushka came to the universe so there ended up being two dolls but since only one of them is Manan the other is inanimate

Question 3: She is a doll, she does not have vocal cords to speak

Question 4: She owned Remnan before, she wants to own him again

  1. Levi creates Stella so Stella can assist Jonas. Levi is an AI so she could put part of her code into a robot and Stella becomes more humans due to interacting with them personally.

  2. Yes, Gnosia SQ is always Mana. Kukrushka isn't always a Gnosia. Probably when she transfer into SQ, she uses cybernization tech. But when she failed with SQ, she uses normal transfer brain tech so Kukrushka isn't a Gnosia everytime and can be infected on Liu-An.

  3. Kukrushka is active and is always Manan if she failed to transfer into SQ.

  4. Kukrushka starts her loop in ep 1 while Setsu exist so she can't go to timelines where Setsu doesn't exist bc Setsu has to exist in the Key's data.

  5. She is a doll with no voice function.

Again.

  1. Yes. Kukrushka is always a looper, If the Key gets what it wants, it loops.

  2. No, Jonas just buys 2 dolls.

  3. No, just a doll with no voice function.

  4. Manan is obsessed with Remnan remember? She wants him for herself.

Ahhhh okay. Thanks for answering! I thought Kukrushka went berserk; didn't know that was her natural state. I'm just surprised that in the "Perfect" loop when no one got infected she didn't.... kill everyone.

But this makes sense if she was looping. She had many many loops to get that out of her system lol. I can only imagine the carnage.

If she has a chance to take Remnan for herself alone, she would do it, like in ep 8 when Kukrushka and Remnan are left alone while everyone else is in cold sleep. If not, she just play fair.

Just a bit of a headcanon, but if Kukrushka plans to keep looping forever, her attitude may have changed, Maybe by the time they get to the ending where everyone survives, she may have looped hundreds, or even thousands of times. That kind of experience probably would have humbled her a bit. Immortality isn't all its cracked up to be.

The game will answer your other questions so def try it! but since the voice thing isn't a spoiler: kukrushka can't speak because she's a doll and has no physical voice
