Honestly I hate that BS where they say that doing the same thing the villain does makes you the same...
It's not the action that's wrong it's the reason for the action...
Punching a person in self-defense and punching a person just to believe them are different.
Locking up a person that's innocent for no reason is not the same as putting a rapist in prison....
If you want to use that logic, then you have to properly use that logic... And in that case anything is wrong....

I don't know, I'm convinced that they both have DID and it's just that they both have different personalities or maybe it is just some supernatural aspect to the story. Every time I read a chp. and at the end with the girl laying on the water and another copy of the girl slightly faded, it just seems to me that maybe its her alternate personality and its all just in their heads, but that doesn't explain why it's happening to the other mc as well. Do they both have DID or is it some supernatural stuff going on.

Interesting theory there.
As far as my terrible memory remembers, no outsider has ever seen them physically next to their replicas in person.
Only they have seen the replicas.
Hmmm...

We need someone that is not either of the protags to actually see them side by side to their replicas to get confirmation that they are real.True True...makes me think that it might just all be a mental disorder
Something the author is refusing to do for some reason.

well it is a supernatural tag and not psychological so i guess it's not all in their heads (dunno if the light novel? makes i t more clearer tho)
, that said you'd think it'd be useful, unless only 'unstable' ppl can create replicas, work two jobs get twice the money XD; or some thriller/assassin thing to where you don't have to hide ur face b/c you can always be in public and have an 'alibi' or something, unless it's some kinda known thing that 'anyone' can make a replica as opposed to specific ppl XD;
Can't remember if the replicas can physically touch their 'originals' but if they can be 'willed away' i wonder what would happen if they 'killed' the original unless they'd die, or just 'tied up' or so if it's more of a 'verbal' dismissal versus just mentally being like "Go away" (tho that would be interesting to see one being at home and the replica just disappearing off the street)

It's supernatural.
There's another replica in their school. This person first created her replica when she is younger (like Sunao), to replace her in a school play she doesn't want to do. But she changed her mind, chasing her replica (who is already on her way to school with her mother).
This person's parents saw both of them, so she can't hide her replica like Sunao or Shuuya.
The parents then decide to raise both separately. The replica is sent to live with her grandparents, and never met her original again ever since. Until the original is in coma and so her parents call the replica back to took their daughter's place until graduation.
Replica can be recreated even after they got blown to pieces. All their memories until the moment they "die" is intact.
But it doesn't work the other way. If the original die, replica will disappear. So replica will never be able to replace their original.

seems unnecessary to send the other 'away' if they can be willed away on purpose unless the parents took pity or so

I'm confused, when did they all become nice to the replicas?

It's more like they don't know how you should interact with a replica.
Someone who looks exactly the same as you, and share your memories up to the moment they are summoned. Yet they can disappear when you will them to. Do you interact with them like a person, or are they even real?
In addition to that, replica's nature is to do whatever their original wants, as if they got no desire of their own beyond fulfilling their original's request. There would be an uncanny feeling about how this looks like a human but is not.
When Nao finally asks something for herself, maybe Sunao starts to think if this is a good time to rethink about how her relationship with Nao will be.

The problem there is, they don't understand. Compared to the other, Sunao should be the most knowledgeable because she and Nao tried many things in attempt to understand, although they give up and just accept things as it is.
It seems to have a split personality side to it.
The replica are said to borrow their original's body. Because of this, the original and replica can't be observed together. Although replicas can see each other because they are in the same plane of existence. When a replica is observed together, or destroyed, their physical body return to the original.
There is another person at school who used to have replica. She only used her replica once, to help a bullied friend when she is on the edge about if she should help, or avoid being targeted. But after the replica helped her friend, she realised that's is herself and she can't summon her own replica anymore.
Another senior who heard about the replica said he probably wouldn't ever able to create a replica, because he accept his own self and never think of wanting to let someone else do it for him, even his own replica.
Sunao came to the conclusion that Replica is embodiment of their ideal self. To create a replica, they pay with a precious side of themselves. Nao is created from Sunao's kindness. Aki is created from Shuuya's courage. Ryou is created from Suzumi's creative expression. As time went on, that part they lost will leave a hole inside the original and made them lose themselves.
Although there is a positive case. The "mermaid", Aloisia, who was referred in the narration, created her replica from her desire to die. Because of that, when she woke up, she lost that desire to kill herself.

Its not about punishing their evils, its about not lowering yourself. If it was self defense in the moment then its justified, however now any violence against him is no longer justifiable, locking him up with authorities or sth would be better. Vengeance doesnt make you feel better, especially when its.violent vengeance. Shuuya is not in his best mental state so we dont know what the plan could do to him if carried out.
Beat someone up they will simply do it to you again and again. The bully can already do this with no consequences so he will just hound shuuya/aki constantly after, that or his underlings do the bidding. Better to expose him and make sure he doesnt do it again, public accountability is far more effective a deterence than a beating.

The reason for the action isn't innocent either. This is revenge, plain and simple.
The point here is that Aki-kun has no reason to harm the other dude. This isn't HIS revenge. He would only be doing it because he's following Aki-kun original's orders. That's just fucked up. Even if the bad guy deserves it, Aki-kun shouldn't be the one dirtying his hands. That's the whole point.
