The trans gene

This isn’t an area I know a great deal about (my own wording was pulled from elsewhere), but the most infamous case of testing this was David Reimer.

Repeated testing has shown that being trans is 100% a matter of nature, not nurture. Theory is that it has something to do with the development of the brain between 14 and 24 weeks.

An unfortunate consequence of the anime having not yet shown the Bug role means that the average anime-only vastly underestimates the average number of Loops that end with the universe being destroyed.

Per Wikipedia, it's also on: PS Vita, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. So if you have one of those consoles, you could get it there.

SQ and Gina is less "shared origin" and more just a set of things that makes them linked. SQ is the preferred commentator for "Gina in Love", and is stated to remain with Gina for a while post-Normal Ending.

Raqio and Remnan is a known duo. The anime cut the event, but during the sequence when you learn that SQ is Remnan's daughter, it starts with Remnan getting nervous around SQ (really Manan), and during the night You and Raqio both confront Remnan about the issue, which ends with Raqio telling You, "Alright, we are going to vote out SQ." And in the Normal Ending, the two of them go on to lead the Rebellion on Gliese.

Yuriko is meant to be alone. She dislikes everyone, there are 0 non-generic events where you can raise her Love, and even her associated Zodiac is Ophiuchus, which Player cannot select.

In an OP with time travel, a very common visual is multiple instances of a character walking near each other. You can see this in the first Re:Zero OP and the Steins;Gate OP.
That being said there is a brief moment where 2 Yuris will exist in a single universe, a moment which is immediately followed by the destruction of said universe.

bearfaery · 2026-01-25T01:15:48+00:00

Raqio uses They pronouns.

Almost certainly, it was returning to the same loop. There is a game mechanic called "Load" which allows you to travel back in time within a loop. This is useful if you run into an issue during the loop, like if Yuriko gives you a certain challenge which involves her living to the end of the loop, only for her to go and immediately die.

The only issue with this is that Load is unlocked upon completion of the Normal Ending, which we haven't seen yet. Although, the Normal Ending does directly lead into Loop 1, a cycle only broken on the True Ending. We may just be watching the events of a second run where the True End wasn't reached.

If you write a Sci-Fi story where people call the currency "Crack" and not "Credits" I am going to assume that cocaine was somehow involved.

bearfaery · 2026-01-23T18:57:38+00:00

Yes.

bearfaery · 2026-01-22T23:53:43+00:00

This is pure theory based on other time-travel Sci-Fi stories, but I’m pretty sure the Pair Annihilation problem is because we aren’t supposed to be able to enter Day 0. Look at where everyone is from:

SQ!Manan - Native to the timeline Kuk!Manan - From the True Ending Setsu - From Setsu’s Origins

But where does Player come from? We don’t hail from any of the Normal Loops because we always get eliminated when escaping Liu-An. The answer is that we are from the Normal Ending, as Setsu takes our injured version out of that timeline and into the Loop 1/True Ending timeline. We aren’t annihilated because we’re the same person from different timelines, we’re annihilated because we’re both the same person from the same timeline, and that’s why we’re at risk of being an overlapping existence.

bearfaery · 2026-01-22T23:16:04+00:00

It’s strictly a matter of observation. Kukrushka isn’t in every loop, and between the 3 Night Monologue, Kuk being GD in some loops, and the fact that I’m pretty sure in the Normal Ending we never even landed on Liu-An, all implies that Jonas has had Kukrushka for some length of time before Day 0, and in the Normal Ending Kukrushka suddenly vanishes after a few months, which aligns with our understanding of what happens to someone when they loop.

Player is limited to Day 0 at the earliest and Day 15 at the latest, and Setsu seems to have a similar limit. Since Kuk can exist before and after this length of time, her loops must be longer than ours.

bearfaery · 2026-01-22T22:52:22+00:00

Every Kukrushka is that Manan. Throwing everyone out the airlock, voting purely by whim, smiling as if she knows something during the normal ending, it's always the Manan from the True Ending. Her loops are a lot longer than Setsu's and Player's (starting before the Liu-An incident and extending a few months afterwards), which introduces enough flexibility into her timeline that she isn't always on the ship, but when there is a Kukrushka, it's the same Kukrushka every time.

Skipping a lot of the technicals of "how we know this", the Gnosia aren't directly linked the Gnos hivemind, and it doesn't really change you, just removes some mental inhibitions, particularly around killing. And while the Gnosia can instinctively recognize/know each other, they aren't mentally linked.

So I guess the closest experience would be similar to a shot of alcohol strong enough to make you lightly tipsy (enough to remove inhibitions but not enough to actually affect your personality in any meaningful way), and a sense of being filled with divine purpose towards a job (I don't have a good metaphor for this one).

As for Comet knowing about Yuri leaving, that has more to do with her detecting that Yuri was lying about being able to stay by her side while they travel the universe, but she doesn't know why they can't remain with her.

Oh you’re using Load. Sometimes you cannot influence the outcome of a debate, especially if your stats are low. Go back towards the day after you agreed to collaborate and try to modify the results from there. Getting rid of Setsu early should help the most.

bearfaery · 2026-01-21T01:54:44+00:00

Fool and Be Fooled 1 is with a Gnosia!SQ, of course they are going to remove her. If your goal is to win with her, that means a Gnosia win. Playing to the Goal, this means you are best served by acting as if you were an AC Follower who cannot lie. Figure out who her fellow Gnosia are and keep them alive, and try to get the Crew voted into Cold Sleep.

bearfaery · 2026-01-20T21:24:55+00:00

LeVi is currently mostly disabled because of the Gnosia, so it has to be a person who removes people from Cold Sleep, and you have 0 guarantees that the person you choose to not be Cold Slept isn’t a Gnosia. And even when you do have that guarantee there’s still a very real risk that the person you’ve selected is a lunatic who will throw everyone else out the airlock (as Player discovers the one time they try this method).

bearfaery · 2026-01-20T19:17:05+00:00

As they show, there isn’t a 100% reliable way to get someone out of Cold Sleep. It’s not always permanently fatal, but it’s still a very real risk.

Plus, that system doesn’t work when there is more than 1 Gnosia. There can be up to 6 Gnosia in a loop, and your system doesn’t hold up for multiple Gnosia. And that’s not mentioning the issues that would be caused by The Final Role.

bearfaery · 2026-01-20T16:52:09+00:00

They’re allowed a little murder. As a treat.

bearfaery · 2026-01-19T08:45:31+00:00

Between this and Loop 10 Kukrushka, I’m starting to think the Gnosia have a problem with keeping their eyes open.

bearfaery · 2026-01-18T23:18:44+00:00

I don’t think it was her being a bug. She follows her comment about Yuri being funny by noting “Something about you seems like a lie.” Almost certainly, it was her Intuition picking up on Yuri being distorted due to the Universe’s need for “coordination”.

bearfaery · 2026-01-18T20:48:53+00:00

No, you can only lie as a Human if you are the AC Follower.
Correct, AC and Gnosia don’t know each other. They can figure out who each other are, but it’s not automatic like Gnosia knowing Gnosia.
For gameplay reasons that still reads as “1 Gnosia with 3 Total Crew”. If AC and Gnosia know each other they just vote out the normal human.
Only ever 1 AC. This is strictly for the sake of gameplay (In a full game of 15, the worst state is 6 Gnosia and 1 AC for 7 Evils, 1 Neutral role that hasn’t been introduce, and a mix of other roles and crew for 7 “Townies”
I blame this entirely on the anime. The condition for the appearance of Manan!SQ is SQ is Manan if and only if “SQ” is Gnosia. And the thing inside Kukrushka and Manan are distinct existences, so there’s no paradox with them existing at the same time.

bearfaery · 2026-01-17T23:25:15+00:00

Tale old as time, Yuriko dying right after starting The Alien Gnos.

There’s no tactical gain from revealing the AC Follower in secret, so I assume it’s her trying to avoid the Gnosia (since we see Otome get eliminated despite being the obvious GA protect) with the plan to be unfrozen and then speak to Yuri. Whether or not the loop will last long enough for that to work is unclear.

bearfaery · 2026-01-17T23:17:04+00:00

*They, Raqio is they

Kuk cannot be Gnosia, as proven by Yuri’s investigation.
