“Please leave everything to me… I’ll be sure to make you happy Sakuta-san… So…” - Makinohara Shoko
How does the time travel affect Sakuta and Shoko? How is the new timeline Shoko alive and healthy? How does Sakuta and Shoko keep their memories of each other in the last scene? What happened during the first car accident scene? And much more will all be explained to greater detail to make sure that everyone can be satisfied, knowing they understand how everything unfolds, and what foreshadows what!
Question 1 - How is new timeline Shoko Alive?:
7:28
Queston 2 - How did Sakuta and Shoko remember each other at the end of the movie?:
8:08
Question 3 - What happened during the first car accident scene, especially, what did Sakuta realize?:
9:36
Queston 4 - How was Shoko able to write the phrases “Thank you,” “You did your best,” and “I love you,” as well as her sentiment to be a kind person one day, on her homework the day she is put in the ICU? Aren’t those things she said as an adult on the beach with Sakuta when they first met, which she used to cheer him up?:
12:02
Personally, this show was enjoyable from the first to the last second! The plot was interesting and well-executed, more so in the show than the movie. However, the dialogue more than makes up for what you lose for visuals in my opinion. Although bear in mind, you have to watch the anime first before the movie, or else you’re going to be beyond what I explain in this video.
Note: Future Goals List / Homework are the same thing, referring to the handout Shoko got in 4th grade, but failed to fill out, and thus caused her adolescence/puberty syndrome.
FAQ
1. Where do I watch the movie?
‘Unfortunately, the movie only had runs in theaters as well as during limited events on some streaming sites. The only way to watch the movie is to buy the blu-ray box set that comes with english subs for the movie as well as other bonus material, or to illegally watch on piracy sites that don't contribute to the original makers and producers of the anime!!’
2. Will there be a season 2 or new movie?
‘If you want my honest opinion, there is a slight chance, but we'll probably have to wait for more content from the light novels to come out, as there are only 10 out right now, where the first season adapted the first 5, and the movie adapts the 6th and 7th. However, it was commonly said that the movie covers the best arc in the story, so it is possible that the movie was intended to be the last adaptation. Furthermore, the movie was announced BEFORE the anime series even started releasing... Thanks for watching, sorry if you're not one to wait :P
3. Does Mai get with Sakuta? Does she die? Does she...?
'I've said it many times before, WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! Don't ruin the movie after you've spent time watching the anime!! If you want to spoil the move for yourself, I am sorry, but I won't go out of my way to do that for you here ;( ' DONT SPOIL IT FOR OTHERS, PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO FIND ANSWERS TO THEIR QUESTIONS, AND ACCIDENTALLY SEE IT!!! Thank you!!
4. Does everything get repeated in the new timeline?
'Practically everything in season 1 was repeated, with exceptions to Sakuta meeting HS Shoko at the beach, and getting scars on his chest (they are gone now), and he was able to do everything without guidance from Shoko because of the 'dream effect', where he saw some of his past memories in his dreams, influencing him to do everything again including going to Minegahara High and falling in love with Mai. Hope this makes sense!!'
Futaba says in ep.8 she's never pulled an all-nighter before, but during Mai's arc, she and Sakuta were the only ones who remembered her because they didn't sleep :P

I got confused on one part of the movie(sorry if I don’t word this right) but when sakuta was waiting by the light to see if he was going to get hit by the car, did shoko purposely lead him to the crash because that’s where she wanted to met at the enoshima lights or was she trying to lead him away in some way and if so how then, I need details please

For the second comment, not everyone keeps their memories exactly the same. Instead, every character experiences different 'dream effects', where Sakuta remembered moments through dreams, and Mai was influenced to play a major role in a movie about a girl waiting for an organ transplant.

To make is simple, the whole anime movie and series are just a future simulation dreamed by the 4th grade Shoko. So it is safe to say that the present time is stucked in the 4th grade Shoko dreaming plus trying to finish her homework. (Remember the Anime movie.title has "dreaming girl" in the last part). Because Shoko's puberty syndrome is a combined Koga Tomoe and Rio Futaba's syndrome. The 4th grade Shoko is scared of growing up because shes scared of dying, but part of her wishes to grow this causes her body to split. The Shoko who was afraid of growing up ended up moving forward in time faster due to the theory of relativity. She can move freely in any timeline from depressed Sakuta 2 years ago to Sakuta 2 years later. Note: The whole series is neither present or real because it is just a simulation of the 4th grade Shoko due to her Puberty syndrome. Again; the present is with the 4th grade Shoko dreaming her future. Later on, Sakuta also suffered in the same condition with Shoko since he was in a huge dillema and he too is scared of moving forward because one out of three should inevitably die: Shoko, Mai and Sakuta. In order to fix everything, Shoko redo everything and went back to her 4th grade self, answered he assignment which causes her not to develop Puberty Syndrome and avoid meeting Sakuta. She know how to avoid this because she know the future. So all the events simulated by Shoko in the future became a dream. It ended up in reality that Sakuta have been seeing Shoko via dream. So when he saw Shoko, he recognize her. Edit (additional): The whole thing we saw in the Anime series have all become the reality of Mai, Sakuta, Kaede, Nodaka, Tomoe and Futaba (Which means everything happened for real). Everything happened except for the meeting of Shoko and Sakuta. Every memory that Sakuta had about Shoko in simulation have become a dream. To sum that up, Sakuta dreaming about Makinohara causes him to go to the same school with Mai and Futaba (Then everything in anime series fall into place). Its really sad that Shoko Makinohara had to sacrifice and forget her memories for Sakuta and everybody's sake. Salute to this best girl Shoko Makinohara.

@@mpgow @Mpgow can you clarify one thing for me: Because the movie and anime series all played in the future simulation of fourth grade Shoko who is in the present, does that mean that all the things which have happend in the anime (or also: simulation) also happend in "new" real world aka present time line then? Because Mai and Sakuta are in love again and Kaede being afraid to go to school as a result of the the cyberbully give me hope that all the anime series wasn't just "a forgettable dream" or a "fade memory". What I just want to know is if the stories and plot of the anime series has also happend in the new present at the end of the movie, in which Shoko is healthy and alive. Because i can't sleep well thinking that the couple might have lost all the memories and friends and achievements gained over those 13 episodes , therefore only having each other left. Sorry for the bad English.

@mpgow 3 жыл бұрын

@@audentesfortunaiuvat287 Don't worry, it's a happy ending! You're correct when you say the series played out normally. You see, the 'dream effect' on Sakuta influenced him to do everything all over again, just without needing to meet college Shoko at the beach to guide him. So yes, everything is as usual, just the meeting of Shoko is moved to that Winter.

Actually, after re-watching episode 1 and the movie sign in the train, I wonder if Shoko Makinohara will become an actress like Mai Sakurajima because it was Mai's performance that saved her life by generating enough people to become a heart donor. (The movie states that the film was so moving that people cried when they saw it so it's the equivalent of the "Top Gun" effect for organ donors which is possible since in HK and the East they do tie in movies for charities and the stars do it pro bono).

Mai-san is honestly the only female anime Ive never for a second got annoyed at. Her maturity and love language. Her being unspoiled. Her being soo understanding with the whole pretendcouple and even with the threat of Sakuta’s first love, she never threw girlfriend tantrums but expressed her jealousy outright. I get frustrated at some female leads who acts immaturely or all too shy but Mai-san, her confidence in her feelings for Sakuta and His love for her is just so steadfast. I believe her when she said She loves Sakuta more than he knows. Those understandings and her ultimate sacrifice were proof. I was conflicted at the end with Sakuta’s reaction when he recognized Shouko and her to him. But I feel like this was the best so it wont drag him and his curiosity in the future of who that girl in his dream is. I feel like instead of love, it’s just compassion and sense of responsibility what he has for Shokou now. If I knew I could save someone’s life by sacrificing my own, that will scar me forever. If I chose the selfish path, id forever regret and wonder and of course if Id sacrifice, at least I saved someone but who can blame you if you chose to live and love right? One complain I have tho is a kissing scene!!!

I also liked that they are generous for giving clues to the viewers, I knew who FB was and who is Suzuha's father even before the reveal, I didn't get anymore other than that. Personally I would've liked it if it ended before 0, I didn't liked the movie that much either. Like I liked MHA Two Heroes than Heroes Rising haha.

This is kinda my understanding of the events. So we have four time lines and the anime and start of the movie takes place in the second time. So time line 1 all events happen in the anime however there’s no shoko makinohara as she hasn’t time traveled yet. I believe this because it’s established that Sakuta Azusagawa dies in a car crash going on a date with Mai Sakurajima which means for him to be at the car crash the bunny girl ark must have happened so they would end up dating and then car crash happens and Shoko gets Sakuta’s heart. Timeline 2 Shoko after living a bit more of her life travels back in time and observes Sakuta and helps him during his times of need like with the Kaede ark but this lead to her becoming fond of Sakuta so she tells him how he’s going to die to try and save him however because of that Sakuta doesn’t want Shoko to die so tries to get into the car crash after realising what Shoko had done in trying to save him but Mai sees and pushes him out of the way so Shoko gets Mai’s heart instead which leads to future Shoko helping Sakuta to time travel which leads to time line three. Time line three Sakuta saves himself from the car crash so Mai doesn’t die which means Shoko doesn’t have a heart transplant. In this timeline it’s also hinted at that strong emotions carry over as dreams by Rio Futaba dreaming about Sakuta morning the death of Mai and Nodoka Toyohama dreaming of Mai being in an accident. In this timeline Shoko decides she’s put Sakuta throgh too much hardship so decides to time travel one last time back to when she was doing her homework future task. Timeline 4 the one where in now and hopefully for the rest of the story. Shoko completes her homework assignment stoping the time travel puberty syndrome from manifesting which basically creates a timeline like the first timeline however both Sakuta and Mai have a connection to the other timelines just like with Rio and Nodoka in the third timeline. This is why Sakuta has dreams of second timeline adult Shoko and Mai has a compulsion to star in a movie about heart disease that leads to Shoko getting a heart transplant and potentially to why despite no longer knowing about the car crash in previous timelines both Sakuta and Mai are alive as the dream might have influenced a change in date location in this final timeline. And well this was everyone wins no one dies and we get to move on to a potential season 2 hopefully next year. Personally i think this is the turn of events because it explains how Sakuta and Mai meet with out Shoko in the final timeline because it establishes that the first timeline which we don’t see and only have mentioned in one line of the movie and it kinda solves some of the discussion I’ve seen on these comments about if the movie completely erases the anime’s multiple plot arks as this way of looking at events shows that the prior arks happen regardless of Shoko’s involvement

@mikexhotmail Жыл бұрын

Wow. Really glad to know this. Oh by the way was the ending is planned by Shoko all along? I mean she surely try 10000 of scenario but it didn't work then she gave up and decide to sacrifice herself then accidentally found out that by finished that homework finally there is a timeline where all of them will be alive and meet again at the beach? ps. People tend to believe that by finishing the homework she will not gain the ability to simulate the alternate timeline so she doesn't know the outcome and only accept her fate but since she sent back her memory to her younger self can't that knowledge make her able to simulate the "let see what happened if i finishing the homework" also? Or the Author really explained that Shoko truly sacrifice herself but luckily this new timeline is happened to be the one she stays alive

@nvick_23 Жыл бұрын

Well it's explained in the following light novel more thoroughly why Shouko lives, it's only hinted at in the light novel she's featured in. Since everyone has fading memories of all of their timelines, middle school Mai had decided to star in the movie where she plays the girl with a heart disease (because she made the choice to save a life through organ donorship in the previous timeline) rather than that scary movie that really made her famous back in the day. In her choosing the heart disease movie, it inspired more people in Japan to sign up for organ donorship programs and that's why Shouko ends up getting someone else's heart rather than our main cast. So you could argue that Shouko indirectly saved herself but it was really that since she had made such a heroic impact of Sakuta and Mai that she deserves to experience the joys that is life and be over her adolescence syndrome. It's not some high IQ play, moreso the author believing that these characters shouldn't suffer such sad fates when they went to the ends of what they could do to help people that they care about.

@nvick_23 Жыл бұрын

Shouko's timeline to me is the peak of this show/LN Series. It's something that has so much genuity I haven't found in a series before. You can really feel that the majority of the characters would straight die for their friends and the others that they love. I believe it's more impactful in a setting like this where we aren't in mystical/fantasy setting where death is a huge common occurrence. It personally makes this all the more impactful to me. This series is very impactful for me, I can't wait until all of the light novels are released in English. I want to be able to really judge if any of the BGS arches come close to the character development and expansion that is the Shouko arch. Anyways, enough of my rambling lol. Hopefully my comment(s) were helpful.

A scenario I actually wanted to see was if Sakuta was actually run over and Mai survived just like the timeline that future Shoko came from. But in this one, we get to see Mai try to fix everything instead of Sakuta. Idk but this scenario just interests me since we would get more Mai screentime.

@mpgow 3 жыл бұрын

@rubix4195 8 ай бұрын

As Mpgow said, nah, because Sakuta cracking up at Mai's death was brutal. Mai "I love him more than he knows" cracking up would be tantamount to torture and - knowing her - she would take the fall instead of him anyway on the day because she knows Sakuta would *never* let a young girl die when he could save her and it would be the guarantee that he lives. I mean look at that station scene when she already knows out that Sakuta from the future has spoken to Sakuta in the present - she *still* goes to the date because she's frantic that present Sakuta will kill himself because he knows Mai will take his place. Love can make people go crazy but sorrow can make them crazier.

Im glad someone finally made an explanation, since we know it is time travel and stuff like that, But ive been deeply depressed after watching the anime and movie. I want to thank you for the amount of stuff you had to research for the explanation, since no one wanted to do that. let's hope that the light novels will come out, and there will be a season 2.

Well, I mention it in my pinned comment, but in short, the dreams Sakuta has influenced him to do everything again and become a kinder person without having to meet HS Shoko on the beach. Hope this helps, thanks for the good question :)

Shoko was the one who started it all unknowingly, all oh the events happens cuz of shoko, but it was on all on her dreams, hence the title. Rascal does not dream of dreaming girl. Meaning, it never happened in realtime the moment shoko had done her assignment. Sakuta was just entangled.

I've thought about this a lot, and this is the conclusion I've come to: There are three shokos total; the youngest, the middle, and the oldest. The youngest (4th grade, present day shoko) doesn't know what to fill out on her homework, so she dreams of a simulated world where she gets older (the middle shoko) and experiences regrets and desires. Everything that the simulated middle shoko wants to do (graduate high school, get married, meet a nice boy, etc.) gets transmitted back to the youngest, and the youngest writes it down. This hw paper updates within the simulation (which explains why the paper keeps changing as the movie goes on). Everything written by 4th grade shoko manifests into all of the actions oldest shoko takes via puberty syndrome. Oldest shoko only exists within the simulation, and only exists to live out all of her younger shokos' desires/regrets from passing on too early. Because everything is a simulation, oldest shoko does not exist in a linear timeline within that world. (its like a puberty syndrome within a simulated world; a puberty syndrome within a puberty syndrome). Therefore, oldest shoko is able to do everything that 4th grade shoko wants to do, regardless of time in the simulation. And everything that 4th grade shoko wants to do is based off of what the middle experiences, desires and regrets. The movie establishes multiple timelines within the simulation itself. The first, i believe, is that sakuta dies on the 24th while on a date with Mai, thus saving middle shoko allowing her to grow into oldest shoko. The second timeline is that older shoko (with sakuta's heart) regrets not spending time with sakuta, so her regrets allow her to travel in between time within the simulation to do so. It can be interpreted, then, that the middle wants to lessen sakuta's suffering because he died for her. You could also say that the middle falls in love with him, so she wants nothing more than to make him happy. So the youngest writes down what she wants to do, and the oldest shoko acts within the simulation; often going in between timelines to do what she sets out to do. This is how the oldest shoko (with sakutas heart) is able to exist with the living sakuta. This is how the oldest shoko meets sakuta on the beach for the first time. This explains why the oldest shoko tries to trick sakuta into avoiding the car crash the day he's meant to die (she either wanted to save him because she loves him or she didn't want him to miss out on his own happiness in life... or both). It's a working theory, and imma edit this if i can think of anything else.

@Lucas30 3 жыл бұрын

Side note: i wonder if one of middle shokos regrets is not spending enough time with Sakuta. Thus, the 4th grade shoko writes and wills the oldest shoko to spend as much time with him as she can.

@mpgow 3 жыл бұрын

@@Lucas30 I love hearing other people's theories!! I read it all, and I agree that the older Shokos wanted to spend more time with Sakuta before the car crash, and that she went 'back in time' to guide Sakuta so that he would live on. However, I think it is possible that the futute Shoko is still the first Shoko, just remember that she's a simulation, and she realized she wanted to help Sakuta after how much he supported her in the hospital, which is why she would be willing to influence his actions to save him.
