Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 75.2 - Who Am I?

[sho52]

It's funny how folks on CN/JP boards have been speculating that Illya fused with Pandora all along, but after the recent chapters most tend to shift to the theory that Pandora was simply influenced by Illya while they exist separately.

Also they have been making countless Nanoha references while in this thread I only saw it a couple of times so far. Seems like Nanoha might have been a bit early for the main generation of western otakus, while it was the definitive loli series in the 2000s for East Asia (before it was superseded by Priya) lol. I would even say I'm somewhat surprised by how widely known Nanoha is over there.

Now this Pandora might finally be an original magical girl form that I like and would want to buy as a figure (instead of in any other alternative costume which I usually find better for Illya and Miyu than their original costume). Of course, Kuro's form is also rather cool.

The correct answer was "friend"

I think everyone is forgetting that the only reason Rin and Luvia are in this universe is due to Miyu crossing over and befriending Illya in the parallel world where Illya and Rin and Luvia always existed. Miyu was the odd one out. The only way to get Darius to go giant was due to Illya fighting Julian, when she was displaced from her world and entered Miyu’s. Illya can’t have been erased completely because her main existence still caused this flow of events.

Pandora happi

I can smell it...

Pandora is the catalyst for summoning Illya back to her place

 

[Recuiter4015]

Man! I don't know what's happening in this series.

One thing I know that I'm a Lolicon and I will still keep on eye on this.

For the sake of me wives!

Pandora having a giant key shaped wand is amusing. The five-pointed star at the top certainly doesn't have anything to do with Ruby, no sir.

100% will not get sue by CLAMP

My very interpretative take on everything so far. Speculations are in italics:

• Darius became the Giant and basically won
• Illya survived the end of the world and is saved by Tanaka and Gil (possibly also due to Kuro as hinted to in ch 61, Kuro does after all have some limited wish granting power and said she'll be watching over them)
• Illya surviving bascially got the world stuck in a weird state. It has ended, so there's nothing there. Gil says not even time has meaning anymore. But the world can't properly end until Illya is no longer around to observe Giant Darius. In the history flashback, Darius states that his true powers are based on making phenomena converge through observation.
• Illya then is sentback in time
  • History can only be changed where the corrective force can't reach (Hearts/Souls, Throne of Heroes, another Dimension ...)
• During their trip to the past Illya interacts with Old man Darius:
  • Illya and Tanaka obersve him. This allows allows him to observe them in turn and he manages to "connect to something impossible", handing them the Box.
  • Darius says that Pandora has been talking about faeries, which implies that in that history Pandora interacted with the faeries, Illya and Tanaka
• In the far distant past, Illya appears as a fairy, keeping Pandora company from time to time. Ultimately, she manages to hand the Box over to Pandora
• The other world we then switch over to is the copy of the history kept inside of the Pithos
  
  • Since Illya went back too far in history to return, and is thus suddenly missing from the world, that world tries to remain consistent by adjusting events so she never was there to begin with
  • This retcon fails in the places not affected by the corrective force
    • People's hearts. Miyu and the other still have a aching hole in their heart where they feel that someone is missing.
    • The Throne of Heroes. Which is why Beatrice could remember her when partially overwriting her own existence with Magni.
  • Miyu abuses the corrective force of history to regain her divine child powers and defeats Darius
• The other world Darius manages to flee to flee to the original world.
  • He's barely keeping himself together as a misshapen mud-doll since his mentality has degraded to the point that this is the limit of what he can imagine himself as. Only once Illya observes and recognizes him does he regain his proper form.
• The Illya awaiting him there is the Illya that survived the end of the world. Tanaka says that she told Illya 10 years ago that Darius would show up. Coupled with them arguing that it is either or both the infancy and grave of the world, this hammers in once again that time stopped working properly in that world. Which is also why Illya hasn't visibly aged.
• Darius Magecraft doesn't work in the destroyed work since it depends on engraving a foundational Thaumaturgical Theory into the World, which isn't there anymore.
• The original world and the world inside the Pithos have changed places.
  • The world inside the Pithos had it's history tampered with by Illya's interaction
• Pandora in the new world opened the Pithos roughly 6000 years ago, saving it in the end

Now in the future we have Miyu denying to define Pandora, giving her free rule to define herself as she wants to. And she becomes a Magical Girl wielding a key that stylistically looks like it would fit the small Box Darius gave Illya. Seeing as this world has dealt with all the misfortune and disaster spilling out of the Pithos, all that is left now is to get the hope out of it: Illya.
