Lord of Fire:
--- Quote from: Debodic on May 10, 2010, 11:48:35 PM ---So six episodes in and I love this show. However, something has been bothering me since they started giving out the details of the past lives. This might have been brought up already, but I haven't read all the previous posts.
(click to show/hide)Is anyone actually dead? I've gone back and watched those episodes again, but it does not say that the people in the show actually died. Unless its losing something in translation this is what I am seeing.
Haruhi's siblings were killed in front of her, but we're not told if the robbers killed her. And she points out suicides prevent you from entering this world.
Iwasawa has a stroke and loses the ability to sing. Since that was her "life", this would be the end of it.
Takamatsu gets drugs after the baseball game. However since this would be suicide if he died from an overdose he should not be in this world.
Ayato's reason to live died with his father.
In each case there is no clear cause of death. Even in Iwasawa's case which is the only one we know for sure the cause of her injury, waking up after the surgery to relieve brain swelling caused by a contusion is usually a good sign.
Its possible I am just reading too much into this, but it seems to fit to me at least.

That would make sense, were it not for one detail you apparently don't know about:
(click to show/hide)First off, you're confusing Takamatsu with Hinata. Hinata is the baseball player. However, he didn't die from drug abuse, he got run over by a truck (you know this only if you've read the LN prequel). So I'm pretty sure he is actually dead.

lol
Ep 6 was not really good... Only Otonashi and Tenshi saved that episode... Is it right to assume that the new president is done for (and obliterated)?
Havoc10K:
we don't know how Yurippe (Not Haruhi so stop that shit already!) died, because she didn't reveal it yet, we do know what happened to her in her childhood, considering the fact that her childhood self was very little and her self now is fairly in teenage state means she got to live a little longer, everything will be probably revealed later, but her reason to stay remains the same as she want to protect everyone.
Iwasawa's life was to enjoy singing and wanted to sing for ppl, but her dream was crushed by an illness, she fulfilled that dream in the other world, so she could move on.

best way for him to act now is to eighter resign or start acting up for his position, tough l think it would be best to give the position back to Tachibana.

More specifically, She was able to sing the song she (presumably) wrote on her death bed. Saying she just wanted to sing for people would have made her disappear after her first concert :P. As with the baseball guy (Hitana?), he missed the game winning catch, but had the chance to get it in ep4 (though failed due to Yui's antics).
Haven't seen episode 6 yet. But common knowledge should point to this world being the world where you are able to accomplish your biggest regrets in life before you move on to greener pastures (A kind of, "You can only enter Heaven with a pure heart" theme). Pointing to an overall life lesson being "Live life without regrets".
Hopefully I only stated the obvious in the last paragraph ;)
And I'm really hoping it's not a "Hey lookie! They ain't dead!" ending... That would be epicly lame :P

l don't think Key will pull something like that, in the most likely event they wil lall progress forward and be reborn as themselves anew, and will most likely end up in the same classroom, not really knowing why or how they get the feeling of knowing eachother, l'm only wondering if our theory on Tachibana is correct so far, if so, l wish her happiness in her new life, if not it will be sad to see such a cute girl alone again.
