Why are replicas so stupid, anyway?
OP is not a faggot.
Fuck me it was a mistake to watch this and today's 2-banme ep back-to-back. Both hit right in the feels.
A replica fell in love again?
Adorkable replica.
>>288483900your replica made the same post in the 2 banme thread
>>288484135never forget
S!
>>288484662E
>>288484768X
>>288484856Sunao would never.
Holy fuck, that came out of nowhere. This type of tragedy is what made me love the series in the first place.
So nobody gives a shit that a student literally vanished in front of their eyes? where's all the news and hysteria? I get that the world is probably filled with replicas but aren't they at least pretending there aren't?
>>288485017This never happened, stop asking questions.
Replicas do not actually die when the host dies they get sent to Blade Runner type world.
I really like how this show is exploring every variation of the theme changing one thing at a time.>replica created to deal with cope, spawned on demand>replica created to deal with cope, but persistent>persistent replica, but separated from the original so long ago that she's a completely different personAlso>replica wants to kill herself to save the original>original dies and takes the replica out insteadWhat a way to end this arc Jesus...
>>288485073Yeah, sorry I don't think you can just ignore those questions and expect that everybody will buy it.
Mayonegg.
>>288485017Every single person that witnessed it is a replica and they're all involved in the cover up.
Anon, buy this!
Shocking.
>>288485306it was a mass hallucination caused by a gas leak
>>288485632That's unironically the most plausible answer
>>288485017>>288485073>>288485306>>288485632Her speech was recorded and sent all over the world. Replicas were found out. Next episode will be a timeskip. Nao and Aki are in a prison camp and in rough state. They'll have to break out and find their originals or die trying.
She touches my tralala.
>>288485673
An evil girl.
>>288485017>So nobody gives a shit that a student literally vanished in front of their eyes?That never happened, take your meds
He kissed her nose or what?
Ofc they were cockblocked.
>>288485885>>288485915>>288485988>Slowly start to like Purple>She immediately diescool, I haven't unlearned my anime nouryoku yet.
Mic drop
Finally Sunao.
>>288485836>Her speech was recorded and sent all over the world.It was obviously an AI video
so, how plausible/common is it to slip from some stairs, end up in a coma, and die half a year later?t. anxiety disorder
>>288486254If you have violet hairs, the risk is very high.
This is the start of an isekai.
>>288486323It all keeps tumbling down, tumbling down.
Sunao looked very hot this episode.
>>288486413Determined to reclaim her MC spot.
>>288486463emotionless sex with originals
>You lost a friend? Oh that's too bad, btw from tomorrow you won't see your bf anymore kthxbainot cool Sunao
>>288486509Fuck replica gon do?
>>288486509Based Sunao.
>>288486509Not like Nao is going to be sad, she is just not gonna exist for a while.
>>288483900banme is shit tho
I'm not expecting this show to end up particularly good, maybe one of those 7/10's at best, but>teen girl in a coma>her clone was trying to find out if jisatsu could heal her original>our MC dorks break through her frozen heart>clone is on the road to try and live for herself (starting from zero-da!)>in typical fashion the coma girl wakes up and everyone hugs it out>no screw that she dies at such a young age>and by doing so takes out her clone with her who just made new friends>her friends stay behind and can suffer despawn at any moment tooSometimes anime, man.
I hate myself for being lulled into thinking everything would be alright and then being shocked when Ryo died.
>>288486848I have watched too much anime by now to not be surprised if they figure out a way to resummon Ryo without her original, but the stage is set if she stays gone, for sure.
>>288486509How does she manages to be so much prettier than Nao?
>>288487376by not being a hetakuso replica.
>>288486254It happens all the time, there was a video going around about a girl dancing on top of a table, falling, hitting her head and dying instantly
>>288486617>you're having an existential crisis because your friend popped out of existence and won't ever come back?>in that case you should pop out of existence and never come back
I've dealt with theater when I was in highschool and, while tempting, this sudden improv is actually scary.
>she started shilling their book immediately right at the end of their playI love this little jew so much.
>>288485988>Confess.>Get rejected.>She's been in a coma for 2 months and now she's dead.Being Mochizuki is suffering.
smug kaichou
>>288487726>RemakeEven the book/play is a replica.
>it was all the osananajimi's fault for confessingwhat a twist.
>>288487777Former kaichou.Checked
gayyyy
>>288487889
This is rigged.They wanted that hero arrives late trope.What a bunch of twats.
My jaw actually dropped when Ryo got fucking Himeno'd in front of her entire school. I was NOT expecting that to happen.
What a fucking Chad.And you want to tell me he's a damn Replica??
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GODDAMMMMMMMMMMITTTTTTTTT
WAS THIS THE TEARS IN THE RAIN REFERENCE?HOLY MOTHER OF KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>288488155It was a FMA reference.
>>288488155Probably not.
This was the best episode since ep 5 holy shitRIP Moririn
I watched it.
>>288485017The Japanese have this eerie obsession with pretending that abnormal things don't exist.
>>288488869good for you, retard!
>>288486068He was going for a kiss on the lips but he fumbled and then tried to play it cool. Aki is so relatable.
>>288488869replica post
>>288486509She's such a heartless bitch I want to fuck her so bad...
>>288485988want to bite her tongue
Can we class Sunao as evil now? Is that why she's hot?
>>288483728>Why are replicas so stupid, anyway?Calm down Asch
>>288489281Man, it’s been a long time since I played a good Tales game.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MbYU0YPqdk8
>>288484906There's something about that bored, bitchy look that makes me diamonds
this show is such depression fuel, i really can't imagine how this ha a satisfying ending unless the two real people agree to just send their replicas somewhere else and let them live happily ever after. Or, they assimilate into one being and have both the memories or something.
This bitch smothered her daughter rather than let a replica go live her own life with a grandparents who care for her.
>>288490013>Implying it wasn't Ryo who turned off the life support earlier that day
So Pink's turn next week. What's her story going to be?
>>288490416Replica born out of the conflict between her desire for chad and 1 billion ojiisans.
>>288486254You usually die a lot faster. But stairs are generally one of the deadliest constructs of humanity.
>>288485748The Replica Cleanup Agency is going to have a lot of work to dohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYg8eOWFTbU
>>288490693another_pie.webm
>>288485885Mori-senpai looks so big there.
I'm watching the episode now.
>>288484906She would like to watch for sure.
>>288485171For real?
So replicas are absolutely used in warfare right by the government right?
I like how they use that floating papers for the props like with the bamboo too. It's cool.
That's a power abuse, Ryo-senpai...
So, she didn't instantly went into coma?
Guess she ended up waiting in netherworld.
Nao's sexy lips.
>>288492151I'm guessing brain bleed fucked her up during the night and she was already brain dead when her parents found her in the morning
>>288489934I was initially expecting the originals to start dating but that boat sailed a long time ago
If the clothes were left behind you should still be able to feel Ryo's warmth and scent on her panties.
>>288486509Wait, people are interpreting this as Sunao getting rid of Nao?I thought this was Sunao giving Nao time off so she can mourn by herself.
Do you think the replica and the original meet in the afterlife or does one just cease?
>>288492494No-pan
>>288492587Replicas don't have soulsTherefore no terrible action against them is a sin
>>288487765Yeah, I know it's kinda sad for Nao but our dude here lost the friend he was in love with that he knew for his entire life and their family and replica have been lying to him for months.I will be impressed if he goes back to school.
>>288492969He'll get a replica to take his place.
This is my problem with the show, we just had the most cursed happening in front of the entire school and not a single soul even mention it, by this time the entire government would be getting the whole school into martial law.
God damn, WTF? That hit me like a train.
What's-his-name senpai must be traumatized for life.
>>288493154Stop asking question!
Mori-senpai's arc started pretty rough, but it ended up being really good. We got tons of revelation about how replica works as well. I wonder what the next couple will be about.
>>288492587I know in my heart Ryo will finally get the selfcest she deserves in the afterlife.
>>288493173
A show with these weird white borders has no right to be this fucking dark.
This was the end of vol2, right?
>>288486509She's doing it for her sake, in the last month or so Nao was killed, tried to an hero and have her friend die, she needs a time out
Apparently there's a popup collab in Shizuoka.
Finally we got to the part in the light novel I've been holding myself back from talking about this whole time.I fucking bawled my eyes out after Moririn despawned. Poor girl had finally made the decision to live her own life on her own terms but because she's a replica she isn't allowed to have her own life and no matter how long the strings are, she's still a puppet for the original. That ending to the second volume had me depressed for days afterwards.
>>288493154This is 100% getting swept under the rug, just like the guy who literally killed Nao, didn't suffer any consequences, saw a ghost - and then it's as if he never existed.Peak writing.
>introduce new replica>slowly get to know her throughout the arc>grow to appreciate her, worts and all, because you learn and understand she's a real human bean>gone in an instant, like tears in rain, a reminder of how precious life isAh, yes. The Goslingcore hall of fame anime, Even a Replic/a/nt Can Fall in Love.
>>288495596So are we not seeing the childhood friend anymore? >>288487765
https://youtu.be/OnQsplKiLXo?si=YTpE-HcljRu34s_c
Wait. Fuck. I knew Ryo was figuratively Kaguya-hime because she didn't want to go back to the moon, but I just realized she's literally Kaguya-hime because the old grandparents who raised her had their daughter recalled back "home" one day and now will never get to see her again.God damn it. I doubt the real grandparents had a proper goodbye like the ones in the play.
>>288493111What if he's already a replica? Can a replica make a replica?
>>288495830>>288495596Just to add. I was really eager to see how he would deal with Mori being in a vegetable state after his confession and discovering literal replica of her was with him for the past few months. Now he doesn't have anyone.And honestly, I would really like how Aki's original is doing and more of Sunao's point of view and what is in her head. She really changed since Nao died. Rekindled her friendship with Ri-chan, got her shit together to study and catch up at school and god knows how much more since Sunao and Nao never talks or more like, Nao doesn't care all that much about what Sunao is doing.
>>288486509I can feel it. Reverse NTR arc is starting now.
>>288495596Is the LN worth reading?
>a boy falls in love with a girl>the girl is actually in a comagreatest love story ever written uguu
>>288484906I want her to look at me like that as I fap
meh this drama was rarted
veggie bros...
>>288486121goslingbros...
>>288486182lmao did she diered???
>>288486509>not coolfuck off. she's finally decide to live HER life.Also the teach refused to acknoweldge the comment about moring disappearing during the play, so I think the adults know about the replicas, but in full japanese fashion don't acknoweldge it publicly.nao could stay at home fingering herself tbqh
>>288483728i might died a longlongtime ago n replaced by fae, anon.
>>288486253>>288486182and then the Parasytes attacked!!!
>>288484971Yeah, the characters and romance are usually so sweet, but it has just enough black coffee to prevent the show from being diebetes inducing.
When do they start singing in virtual reality
Ahhhh she just ruined the whole play in front of the whole school
This is some real Natsuiro Kiseki "the sky is blue" energy
>>288493269This guy went to school with Sumire.
Is it yuri if it's you?
Funny how every replica's name is chosen the exact same way
>sure I'll come visit but is there anything more interesting to do out thereBit rude
RIP, poor guy got rejected for reasons utterly beyond his understanding of metaphysics
Mayonegg
WHAT THE FUCK
NO
Bruh
What is with this girl and running into the ocean
>>288497407Man, I thought this was supposed to be a happier, status quo kind of show. When she disappeared I thought it was because her original woke up, but nope, why the fuck would anything good happen? Fuck me.
>>288497257>Flubbed her line>Ad libbed a whole sceneSunao would never.
>>288497535this
>>288495738I dropped the show after the retarded writing around the murder/attempted murder plot being fully ignored. >Bully purposely breaks MMC's leg>"Let's settle it like real men, with a rap battle, I mean a 1v1 basketball game.>Bully turned would be murderer goes out of his way to escalate his imagined grievances into murder.>"Let's settle this like real women with a rap battle, I mean a whisper and a suggestion in the hall."It's fucking stupid. A weird deadzone of shrodingers authorities and no real world sense of scale of importance. Took me right out of the story and was a complete waste of time.Fucker does you harm then tries to kill you and all but fails because of an infinitesimally small twist of fate - you don't just look the other fucking way.Both MCs deserve to get tossed in front of a train together. It's cowardly writing. Wanting a "tragic" turn of fate without having to stick with the consequences. Same with the shitty walk into the ocean "whoops" dramatic scare.And get rid of the shit vignette filter.
>>288497952>Both MCs deserve to get tossed in front of a train togetherand then they get isekai'dthey register in the adventurer guild and prepare to defeat the maou.all with stats and menuslop of course.I love isekai slop
>>288495738I don't mind it. He was just a little bitch. I doubt he even has friends who would take him seriously after what happened.In an ideal world bullies and criminals would get locked up, but causing a commotion isn't exactly desirable for replica-chan. And you never know, he could still show up later after what happened.
>>288498345>In an ideal world bullies and criminals would get locked upLMAO>PUT HIM TO PRISON BECAUSE HE SAID MEAN WORDS TO ME :(((((((((ROFLED!
So uh is kaichou dead for good? She actually died for real?Can someone spoil the rest of the series already, I'm not really feeling this show.
>>288498432she disappeared because og got deaded
>>288498442I mean if the OG truly died and stays dead, and if we ever hear from her again or if they ever visit her.And can someone spoil the other novels already.
My replica had me watch the episode
>>288498482>please ruin the anime for everyone by posting all the plot twists in spoiler tags so they can immediately be regurgitated without themNo.
>>288496245rarted-bro? u ok?
>>288498508the drama I meant the play, the parallels were dumb and zzzz inducing. I actually clapped when purple disappeared, I want to see what happens when you come inside a replica and she disappears mid coitus
>>288498526Summer break was a mistake.
>>288498553ur dumb and rarted
>>288495738>>288497952I feel like I'm gonna do the mangaka's work, but oh well, for good old Naruto speculation's sake:>the dude quit school and is a psycho mess at home just lying in bed>he's still somewhat interested in his school's end of year's activities so he watches some streams>he sees Sunao performing on stage, isn't she dead?>he sees Ryo poof out on stage>goes into shock mode, recalls vague memories of Sunao poofing out of existence when the train hit her, leaving behind clothes>he 1+1's that there is a connection, teleporting people leaving behind clothes>he goes into detective mode>contacts Sunao's parents to see if they are mourning over a dead daughter; they are not>learns of Kyo's comatose state, so there were two of her>spots Sunao and Nao together somehow (hack writing)>"there are clones">in the coming arc he'll learn of replicas and spawns his own copy>now there's two evil dudes, one of them immortal.>a whole lot of drama ensues>can resolve itself by replica dude killing real dude. cue next arc.donezo.
>>288498505You can put them in spoiler tags, you know?>implying anons care about being spoiled
>>288498595This whole arc would've objectively been much harder to get invested in, and the ending consequently wouldn't have hit nearly as hard if you knew about the twist in advance. You might not care about enjoying the media you consume to the fullest because you have ADHD and you're really just here to shitpost, but that really isn't my problem.
>>288498526Are you sure you have a fully functional brain?
>>288498692On the contrary, not being spoiled made me fearful of what happens next.You must be new to 4chan if you care this much about spoilers. This isn't Reddit.
>>288498526I was actually thinking pregnancy/childbirth.Original gets pissed at pregnant Replica and orders her to fuck off.What happens?Or a plot to kill the original to fuck with MMC and his pregnant replica wife.You want horror, that's fucking uncut 100% pure Colombian right there.
wait whats the twist? i dont understand
>>288498788what if you make nao disappera while she's birthing?
>>288498846>Get Sunao pregnant.>She summons Nao.>Induce labor in Nao.>Abort Sunao's baby.What happens here?
>>288498561>ur>rartedSpeak english, faggot.
>>288498846>>288498788Easiest solution is that replicas are infertile. Or until the baby is cut from the mother, is still part of her and disappears along.
>>288499005uhm...three cases:1. nao's child is a replica of sunao's child, meaning if the original child acks, he also does2. the child is considered part of the replica, not its own replica, meaning he gets to live, but after a cycle of desummon/summon he can't be summoned again (since replicas are a copy of the OG, at least physically). This would also happen without aborting the OG baby3. when replica is summoned, she doesn't have the baby as that's consider its own living entity and isn't part of the tulpaing
>>288499114so if the baby is cut and she disappears/reappears the baby stays and she's pregnant again, ready to birth another child?A LITERAL CHILD FACTORYWRITE THIS U JAPANESE ACK INSTEAD OF THIS MORI GARABGE NOBODY CARES ABOUTR
>>288499114What about Aki's sperm? If he were to rape Sunao then Sanada recalls him would she be pregnant or not? Or say she does and gives birth and then he disappears.
>>288488027I'm not feeling good about the next arc. This dickhead is going to be Pink's partner.
>>288495596>second volumeIsn't the LN 6 volumes? Are we getting a second cour?
>>288499147This would only apply if Sunao is pregnant >>288499005 , not just Nao. Nao appears with the same body as Sunao.Honestly, I would like to see how Aki and Nao would react if Aki's original learns how to make him disappear and resummon him now as slob with a gut.
>>288499203The moment the sperm reach her egg, it's all part of Sunao's body.
>>288499253What if the dickhead persona is his replica and he is just an otaku that wants pink to be nice to him?
>>288497952honestly I can't take the drama seriously anymore after this. like you said, the author wants a tragic fate without consequences, and it's really jarring.
>>288499332Seems like there are 6 volumes of LN. Story is not finished. There are also 6 volumes of manga covering 2.5 volumes of LN's story (little bit ahead of anime). And there is an anime with 13 episodes made (9 episodes aired).So, if you want to know full (to date) story - LN is only option.
>>288496513>so I think the adults know about the replicasThere's no way Sunao's parents aren't aware of Nao. Even Ri-chan noticed ages ago.
>>288499774Spoil us then
>>288497388>>288497407>>288493154Yeah, it would be more believable if everything went fine and next day the teacher appeared informing that Mori passed away with her parents saying that she fell from the stairs at home or something. They would have mr. suffering childhood friend to confirm that she's really dead and thus, Ryou as well.
I am confused: was the concussion an excuse?
>>288499984excuse for what exactly?
>>288500001I mean if coma girl got into a coma due to a concussion or fall, my memory is poor, i thought she was sick
>>288499860I've only read like 1 chapter of manga ahead of current anime story, you can do it yourself.
elevated discourse because, for once, something happened in an anime episode, or did all replicas come out of hiding?
Replica deserves happiness too.
>>288500035I think it's the real cause. Because they went out of their way to add this little scene >>288492151
>>288501214I found it weird when they said she had a letter for the replica after the festival when they said that she went into a coma after the festival. Specially when they pretty much said she's in a total vegetable state. But I guess >>288492328 explains what happened.
I kind of like how the general public just doesn’t really acknowledge when these tragedies happen. It makes the existence of the replicas more bleak.
>>288483728>>288483782
>kaichou suddenly disappeared in front of everyone>family announced she was in coma for months>but everyone knows they were interaction with kaichou>she even played a main character in a school play>someone definitely recorded a play of that>government definitely knows replicas exists. hell, they even forced the school to buy the family's narrative>they definitely also have a copy of the play she was in>they would also realize that play was based on the replica's life>feds will realized the literature club wrote the script of that play. not only that, they literally wrote a short novel of that play possibly with more details of the main character/replica's lifeShe is fucked, isn't she?
This is not okay.
>>288504759not every government is CIA tier, amerimutt-kun
Is it really so strange that the teacher who's supposed to he authority figure but can't comprehend what he saw opts for just awkwardly ignoring it?
>>288505482He doesn't get pay to have a converation on the supernatural or mass hysteria with his students, it's better to just pretend it was all a trick from the gods or her ghost wanting to fulfill the promise with her CF to play the princess
>>288505634>implying they don't already knowno iq found
>>288504759Maybe the twist is that the government and the parents are aware of the replicas and got in contact with said parents to put their children at this specific school to try to understand them.
>>288504759>implying she isn't the true original just writing stories this whole time and that's why there's the white dreamy bars around the screen
>>288484235>had a bunch of shit going on yesterday, didn't watch anything>time to catch up on Replica! surely all the drama's gonna be resolved, happy endings for everyone!>get this...fuck. Genuinely unnerving.
>>288505634The CF has to be losing his damn mind. I get Nao is motivated to not make a big scene about it, but he should be causing a scene. The authorities probably end up checking him into a psych ward to shut him up, too
>>288506947What if Ritsuko has reality bending powers that makes people pop up their replicas because that was one of the stories she wrote previously?
>>288507965What she at the closing ceremony when Mori disappeared? Maybe Ritsuko went and killed the original while everyone else was distracted?
>>288508070Ritsuko is the key to all this.
ritsuko is raemz self-insert
>>288486121God she’s so horny.
>>288508684these replicas are absolute harlots.
Nao's inner Sunao.
>>288509315I can fix her *unzips*
>>288509403go float in hammerspace, Aki-kun.
>>288509403Misses and sticks it up her nose.
A few hours since I watched the episode, and I still feel like I have been slapped in the face.It has been a while since an anime has led me on and betrayed my expectations.
>>288504759>implying the government isn't entirely made up of replicas
this episode crushed me, after all that development. *poof*an now Sunao tells Nao she might not be needed soon?
>>288509315>tfw tears but no rain
>>288513526And all I can do is read a book to stay awake.
>>288511742It's her own way to say that she can fuck her himbo all that she wants. Just warn Sunao for early pregnancy so she can undo that by making her poof and re summon Nao.
>>288511742I have some faith in Sunao. If she wanted to keep treating her like a tool, she could have done that way earlier. Would be kind of contrived for her to turn evil right when Mori dies. There was always going to be contention between Sunao and Nao trying to live the same life, and if anything Nao needs to be able to live on her own kind of like how replica Mori got her own life with her grandparents.
>>288497407Wait. so did the real Suzumi die the Sunday before the festival and the Replica was reconciling with everyone knowing it's just a matter of time before she disappeared?
>>288515739no I think the timeline was:>confession from vice pres at a fireworks festival>Suzumi falls, hits her head that evening>writes letter before brain bleed gets her>the show happens (over a couple months iirc?)>Ryo disappears Sunday after School Festival, because that's when Suzumi finally died
>>288516012You left out Mori mom being so moved by the play she decided to unplug Suzumi so Ryo could go back to living her own life again, inadvertently disappearing her. Yes this is just my headcanon.
>>288516365I like your headcanon, it makes it even more depressing and sad.
