Goddamit... Open endings... Too much uncertainty, can't unravel this.

- yamaguchi mikoto universe theory -

You guys remember Shinigami Onegai?
Or you guys remember Mayonaka X Giten?

I proposed that both manga (which shared same author) is also shared the same universe.
This is my theory regarding shinigami onegai ending :

Spoiler

this manga share the same universe with "Mayonaka X Giten" (same mangaka)

Not only that, actualy Saaya is the very first one who created the the body swap method in Mayonaka X Giten
How Saaya creates it?? Probably with similiar trick with the baldy Kuroneko (check chapter 3)
Why Saaya creates it?? To save Minamida Azuma. Minamida simply swaping into better body and he will be immortal

Ofcourse one of the trait of body swap in this universe is super power. Probably Minamida get a power to silence Saaya.
Probably something like "global memory erasure" so change nothing in the rule of Sayaa-cannot-lie

Now, body swap is a cheat power in this universe law because shinigami also count body as sinner
Remember that Kureha-Shiroha arc? If the possessed innocent kid kill the father, she will also be blamed for murder
What if someone (let's say Aida), swap body with another one (let's say X), and kill alot of people (let's say Shizuka Family)??

If we open up the possibilty of body swapping, we got alot of new scenario and explanation of confusing thing.
Combine body swap with "global memory erasure", it explain about the last wish contradiction for Aida's case.
And since body swapping also grant the user super power, It explain why Minamida jr so keen for Aida's body (check last chapter)

So what about yamaguchi mikoto's other manga?
I will also claim Tomodachi Game share the same universe with them
And the real traitor is :

Spoiler

Yuichi...........But not our Yuichi.
In mayonaka X giten we exposed double personality
Yuichi has double personality. one good and one bad

He got them from body swapping goes wrong
So instead of swapping one personality, two got stuck together
One of them ia the real traitor

Maybe the accident that injured their mother was the same one that killed the politician’s wife (and is the politician’s wife the father’s cousin)? That would mean that Minamida set up both incidents, and gives a connection between the two.

 

[stal2walk]

@newershadow at first your theory seem a bit off based cause i assume right now minamida's age would be around 22-26 so 13 year ago he would has 9-13 yo which seem impossible atleast he must be still in the hospital cause his brother coma for 10 year and never mention that he's not in the hospital anymore
but i went back reread it and yeah politician wife died 13 year ago and shizuku's mother accident happen 15 year ago so it might connect in one way or another
-
and another theory is older minamida become evil spirit and trying to set crime according to story in his novel he wrote(perfect crime), because his novel is not complete yet and want his lil bro to read it(but it's too roundabout he can possess someone write and send it to his lil bro his lil bro is kinda smart too he might figure it out)
but this theory wouldn't be true if we don't know the content inside his novel
-
some theory in internet said the culprit is his mother
mother last wish might be able to see again or turn her body back before incident which make he blind and disabled
she angry that hibiki face resemble the dad's cousin that in the car on the incident day(she must know that cousin plan to kill her but never mention before in any chapter)
and his father wish is to erase shizuku memory about his mother kill hibiki (why did he also get kill maybe he try to holding mother back) (it also answer the point of hibiki got her leg cut because mother can't use her leg either. but why are you so angry mother-chan lmao)
(actually this plot seem bullshit unacceptable for me because then who take shizuka pic and only hibiki can heal the other because each shinigami have unique ability(but in some chapter mention that saaya learning until she got erase memory ability maybe ability can be learn and not actually unique))
---
actually author still hold a lot of plot to play like
what secret sayaa holding?
what happen next after shiroha become shinigami?
why only shizuku alive?(in this case both dad and mom must not be culprit so one of them can use last wish to save shizuku like wish for culprit to not kill shizuku and another wish to erase his memory during that time/or erase everyone memory that witness the incident so culprit will confuse try to get evidence and send to police then run away)
-
Summerize : no more open ending/axed pls there's no theory that give me 100% sure that who was the culprit

 

[Zhou]

Well, the remake has started and hopefully it won't get axed so we will know the answer. As for the culprit, I can't be bothered to think all of this through, but I imagine his father's cousin had a child and that's the culprit. I think the cousin wasn't mentioned until the final chapter, so she is definitely related to the answer.

 

[HoangDinh]

Wut? Abrupt end

 

[BakedBanana]

Onwards to the remake
