We’ve already played a game where things can be conjured up or erased at a whim (see: the shiritori episode). Every single time a fan comes up with some pathetic theory about their favorite cartoons, it’s either always “It’s just a dream!” or “It’s in his/her head!” This ain’t Fight Club and Sora ain’t Tyler Durden. Who else could it be? And please, don’t do the whole “Sora never existed! He was only in Shiro’s head!” bullshit. The only remaining candidate - and it’s an obvious candidate too since she even shows up in the episode itself - is Kurami. It wouldn’t make sense for any of the other races to randomly challenge him either. I’m 99% sure he hasn’t started a game against the Warbeasts yet. Obviously, the way he was talking to someone right before he disappeared kinda implied that he was already in the middle of some game. So what happened to Sora anyway? It doesn’t really seem like a big mystery to me. Enjoy your creepypasta.īut anyway, I guess should discuss the story. Nowadays, it seems all you simply have to do to scare anyone is to take something that they cherish - preferably something with nostalgic value - and make it seem “off.” That’s it. Have you heard the famous one about a kid playing Majora’s Mask and how the cartridge was supposedly haunted? This guy even created all these boring Youtube videos of him playing his haunted copy, but all it really amounted to was a bunch of cheap hacks to make the gameplay seem a touch off-kilter. Add some random static and voila! Creepypasta! It’s like all those crappy horror stories about video games on 4chan. Don’t ask me how, but I bet you they do.That’s just how it is nowadays. I bet people find the tweaked ED creepy and disturbing though. Hell, the most recent example was in Kill la Kill, so you’ll pardon me if I’m not blown away by Madhouse’s latest trick. It’s been done countless of times before. After all, this isn’t the first time an anime has messed with an ED. I mean, that’s really all the praise I can give since it was also kind of expected. Still, removing Sora from the ED was… an okay touch on Madhouse’s part. But uguu, it really tears me up that her nii-san is gone! Good riddance, right? But people pissed and moaned about how utterly tragic it was. To me, it was just another one-dimensional moe character biting the dust. The same sort of thing happened when Steins Gate‘s Mayuri died over and over. And even though Shiro’s just another blatant wish-fulfillment character for otakus everywhere - a diminutive imouto who will never leave my side and is just as into nerd interests as I am?! - with hardly any personality, anything sad that happens to her is just the worst thing ever. Rather, people are sad because Shiro’s sad. Having said that, a lot of anime fans seem to love Sora’s personality for some reason, but I digress. Nah, it’s not because they are actually sad to see him go. All across the blogs and forums, a whole bunch of people will cry over the fact that Sora has disappeared from Shiro’s life.
