"Through all the world lines, we crossed universes and ended up here. I finally figured it out. You really are an irregularity. You're a one-of-a-kind existence that shows up in a universe that was warped by the Silver Key. You're not a bug. You're ... You're my ... Gnosia."

Jokes aside, I wondered what Setsu really meant to say towards the end there. For all intents and purposes, I think that it is apparent that Yuri and Setsu find solace in their companionship together, regardless if romantic sentiments are necessarily involved in it or not.

I am really glad that we got a happy ending after everything is said and done, though I do wonder why Yuri is able to continue to exist. Did Gnos pull something behind the scenes to switch Yuri with the original? And speaking of Gnos, I think that there are still elements that could have been explored further with the entity, though I would also understand if that area is not exactly the priority to the story as a whole.

I was pretty surprised by how "chill" Manan seemed to be in this loop, considering how she was portrayed as an absolute menace when she slaughtered everyone on board when she inhabited Kukrushka in a prior loop. The character of Kukrushka was also something that I wanted the show to get to at some point, specifically on what her entire deal is when she is a living entity vs when she is a doll.

Anyway, I could go on and on about what I wanted to see more of from the show, but I think that this is a testament to how impressive the story was. I just wanted the show to keep on going and dissect every character's backstory. I figured this out when I found myself yearning to see Yuri's second Silver Key run, which the show could have easily dragged on for another season.

Overall, I really liked this show and I am planning to play the game in due time.

Well what happens is Yuri is just a concicousness now so they plan to take the Key then let Gnos delete both Bug Yuri's concicousness and the Key, leaving og Yuri wakes up. But Gnos being a bro and delete the Key (or pull it out and let it loop) but leave present Yuri alone so they could merge together since og Yuri and Bug Yuri are same existence/person in a way. So yeah, Yuri and Setsu stay together.

I think they have done enough with Gnos since Gnos is involved a lot and we know what their deal is.

Kukrushka is always Manan and she is chill to others when she doesn't have a chance to have Remnan for herself. She keeps up the gig.

They do explain everything. Yeah. It is fun.

Did you play the game?

[u/MHyde5 → u/Top-Remote4523]

Yeah.

[u/DrStein1010 → u/MHyde5]

I'll counter that it feels really out of character for Setsu (and to a lesser extent Yuri and Jina) to just...let Gnos exist and continue to absorb people now that they know what it is. It feels like an unfinished plotline from that angle.

[u/liscup34 → u/DrStein1010]

No one can really kill the giant ball of collective conciousness.

Though as I said. The reason Gnos does this on the ship because they want to see if humanity should have free will or they should be under the great will of Gnos. The "error of the universe" Yuri shows that humanity is beautiful and free will is important, they go so far just to save Setsu and show that. Gnos even helps Yuri to get the results. It is a satisfying ending for a technical God. So it is a happy ending and humanity has free will is important which Gnos has their answer, they gonna stop here. Yuri and Setsu can stay here together and be happy in the world they stay in. The anime is great to be honest.

From what's shown in the episode, Yuri's consciousness is in his real body, fighting against the original one. If that's the case, how does he wake up in the loop with his memories intact? We know that Gnos creates the false body, but if the consciousness is in the real one, shouldn't a new Yuri have awakened, or am I missing something? Regarding the ending, I interpret it as a fusion between the two Yuris.
