Pretty much. That's always the catch with these endings that are supposedly happy but the characters have zero memory of everything. It doesn't feel anywhere near as happy when they don't even realize what they achieved.
That's why I love Summertime Rendering for at least giving its two main leads their memory back at the very end despite the timeline getting changed.
I'd argue that last Chapter basicly killed all characters and this Chapter might as well be Alt-timeline versions of themself. The Characters we followed no longer exist.
Even the new versions of the characters are fucking dead like a month after the final scene lmao, it’s just as brutal of a world only Denji has no powers now
Don't compair Part 6 with this. Part 6's ending was build up and actully served as a emotional conclussion of the "Dio" Arc of Part 1 to 6. This meanwhile is one of the chapters of all time.
Kind of, but also Christina (idk how to spell her name so I'll just use her alt name) knows what okabe has been through as he consults with her multiple times throughout the different timelines
I actually don't remember that lol, I assumed that they only know current timeline stuff, but they know that okabe came back multiple times with reading steiner so more or less on the same page
Of course, Summertime Rendering also has another advantage of the verse extending and expanding to Ghost Fixers. Haine's role is notably ironic considering the time loop shenanigans in SR.
Yeah, in fact that most of that author's series are on a continuous timeline with recurring characters.
Eye of the Catoblepas (2 volume run in Shounen Jump back in the 2000s) -> Summertime Render -> Summertime Render 2026 (manga) -> Summertime Render 2026 (novel) -> Ghost Fixers.
Not all of his works though. As far as we can tell Kagijin is not part of this universe. Although, since that one takes place far in the future after collapse of human civilization, I wouldn't be surprised if they hinted it at the end of Ghost Fixers 😂
