This whole thing was a bootstrap paradox when you think about it. Setsu's loop doesn't end until they give Yuri a silver key and Yuri's loop doesn't end until he gives Setsu a silver key. So unless Gnos gets rid of Yuri after Yuri gets the silver key it really would never end.

That part with Kukrushka, SQ and Manan has one huge question from me in all that mind jumble what happened to the gnosia? Is is still in the original body with SQ did it go with Manan's mind into Kukrushka? or did it somehow just disappear in the process?

There is also the question when Kukrushka was moving was it always Manan and SQ was SQ? or does Kukrushka have a solo personality like SQ? Since Kukrushka was never active during Yuri's second loop set does that mean Setsu was tied to whether or not she was in there? Was Manan always in SQ or was Manan not around due to some tie with Setsu? because Setsu and Manan (and possibly Kukrushka if she is more then just a doll for Manan) must have some tie since Kukrushka was never active without Setsu.

So many questions.

Gnos infect their intelligence in a world line, so once Kukrushka uses the Silver Key to jump she wouldn't be infected anymore or she does if Gnos infected her in that world line. It is just like with Yuri and Setsu.

Kukrushka is always Manan. In Yuri's second loop, I think it is because Yuri starts jumping from "Setsu doesn't exist" world line while Kukrushka starts jumping from "Setsu exist" world line so Kukrushka couldn't go into the "Setsu doesn't exist" world lines. SQ said Manan already wanted to transfer into SQ and in world lines where SQ is Gnosia, she succeeds, (if she failed and SQ isn't Gnosia then SQ is SQ) presumably because she uses cybernization. Everything all makes sense. The anime is great to be honest.
