Never trust anyone who dies offscreen!

Deus had imbued Ninth with half his power, but locked it away. She comes flying out of nowhere to rescue Amano.

Gasai and Murmur time leap, and Ninth and Amano follow.

The calendar resets to two years in the past.

Show thread

I have been mostly ignoring Murmur for my summaries, which is bad, because she's just made a Comic Relief/Serious Player turn.

This is God Gasai's Murmur, not Deus' Murmur. She knocks Amano into a bottomless pit and crowns Gasai the winner.

Except Deus has left a ringer.

Show thread

You can't bring back the dead, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

(Those who have seen _The Visitors_ know.)

Gasai Yuno has already won the game and become God. When she was unable to resurrect Amano, she travelled through time, killed herself and took her own place.

Show thread

Amano refuses to believe, killing his way through them to get to eighth.

Akise fights Gasai, crushing her diary, but she doesn't die. Why not? A mortally injured Akise tries to put the pieces together. Finally, he realizes what's going on and limps forward to tell Amano.

Show thread

Unable to beat Akise's diary, Gasai injuries herself, leaving Akise in a position where he has to save her, because if he let's her die, Amano will never trust him again.

Meanwhile, Amano's friends give him the bad news: even with the power of God, resurrection isn't possible.

Show thread

But Akise disagrees. Observers may only observe, but he's used Eighth's power to give himself a Future Diary, and he intends to use it to save Amano.

Akise and Amano's friends betray him and help Eighth escape. Akise fights Gasai to a standstill.

Show thread

Bad news: Deus Ex Machina is a load-bearing God. As he reaches the end of his life, reality starts to break down.

Akise breaches the gates of heaven to confront Deus. But Deus says that he isn't even real - he's an Observation Terminal for Deus to keep tabs on the diary keepers.

Amano manages to beat Ninth.

The bank Eleventh is in was owned by Gasai's parents. The vault has a retinal scanner that will only open for Eleventh, Gasai's parents, and the real Gasai Yuno.

Nonetheless, she is able to open it and kill Eleventh.

Show thread

This is when Amano and Gasai swoop in, armed with submachine guns, to rescue Ninth and move on to the next phase of the plan.

Eleventh seals himself in a bank vault.

When they can't open the door, Ninth turns on Amano, aiming to get revenge for her eye, and for Nishijima.

Show thread

By editing false information into their diaries, they can fool Eleventh.

But he's one step ahead. His secretary has a diary that records his actions. That one is known to be reliable.

Ninth loses a hand in an explosion. Nishijima is shot dead. Amano's friends are captured.

Show thread

Amano's friends team up with Ninth to take out Eleventh's supercomputers.

Eleventh's diary, The Watcher, shows him what everyone else's diaries say.

In fact, Eleventh was the one to suggest Future Dairies as a part of the death game in the first place.

Ninth figures it out.

Show thread

This Gasai is an impostor.

Amano doesn't care.

Eleventh hooks up Eighth's diary to a supercomputer and gives everyone in the city an account: his plan is to be the leader of a clairvoyant kingdom.

Nishijima rescues Ninth from Eleventh's men and proposes to her!

Show thread

Amano plays hardball.

He unmasks Eleventh, revealed to be the Mayor. He allies with Eighth to take out Eleventh, then double crosses her.

But right as their victory seems assured, Akise and Ninth arrive. They found three bodies buried under Gasai's house: her parents, and her.

Show thread

I'm sure you've all been wondering: did Gasai kill her own parents?

The answer is yes, but by the time that's confirmed you realize that there's a reason she's crazy and it's their fault.

--

Eleventh's agents kill Amano's father. Amano decides to win so he can fix everything.

Show thread

Seventh draws them into a trap, but Gasai recognizes it and recovers their diaries. Eighth's agent destroys the building.

Amano's dad steals Seventh's parachute to escape. Amano's mom confronts him and he kills her.

Seventh die. Amano and Gasai escape with the other parachute.

Show thread

Seventh take Amano and Gasai's diaries and send everyone to the hospital.

Ninth arrives to train Amano for a plan to beat Seventh. This is fake, but if Amano believes it, Seventh will read it in his diary and be fooled.

Amano's father arrives. He has been suborned by Eleventh.
