Line 5:
== The humans who run the game are [[Strawman Political|Straw]] [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Anti-Spirals]] ==
Anti-spirals destroy planets with large numbers of Spiral beings so that the amount of mass created by Spiral Energy doesn't cause the universe to be destroyed in a Big Crunch. The people who run the game destroy universes for no adequately explained reason.
* The games take place in order to weed out all of the parallel worlds because of something akin to the Spiral Nemesis happening. If too many parallel universes are created, then a Big Crunch would be created from all the universes. If anything, these games are used by the Anti-Spirals themselves to [[Battle Royale|make their enemies fight against one another and prevent an uprising, as well as some form of gladitorial entertainment]]. The worlds which go completely undefeated in the games are probably then monitored closely by the Anti-Spirals, and Human Annihilation Devices are probably placed on the worlds considering these worlds have a great abundance of Spiral Power already.
** I smell a plot for Gurren Lagann & Bokurano's ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' debut...
== Alternately, the humans who run the game are a unique form of Spiral Nemesis. ==
They are Spiral beings that found a way to destroy energy, as well as create it. At some point they decided that they were superior to all other beings in the multiverse and created the game as an entertaining way to eliminate lesser beings. When someone loses the game all matter in his/her universe is destroyed, but the universe itself remains intact. The humans who run the game then send a small group to use Spiral Energy to create new matter and colonize that universe.
== At the end of the 48-hour period, nothing happens ==
Line 16:
It's a sadistic answer to a sadistic manga.

** ... that's the second time today I heard someone use that quote about this series.
Line 27:
* I think it's been disproven by Tanaka and Seki not recognizing the planes in the other world. So at least some branching points are some time in the past.
== [[Watchmen (
He created all alternate realities and make them fight until only one will survive. You have to admit he could do this.
Line 38:
The destroying universes part is because parallel universes are dime a dozen and threatening their destruction is a great motivational tool. The giant robots are used because the demons like collateral damage and because the pilot dropping dead, soul taken, a short time after winning is easy to pass as having been due to the strain of piloting.
== The game was created by [[Planescape: Torment|The Nameless One]] ==
TNO created the game, which pits entire universes against each other and is slowly causing the multiverse to die (Koyomeshi lied about it being a necessary "pruning"; it's really done [[For the Evulz]] or some other unjustifiable reason). It was a crime so heinous that he sought immortality to avoid the richly-deserved eternal consequences. The game kept on going long after he had forgotten about it (due to being reincarnated). The most powerful shadows are the spirits of deceased pilots who have been placed in forced servitude to The Transcendent One.
Line 50:
== The Earth is real, and the game is an evolutionary algorithm for creating strong-willed humans for the Masterminds to feed off of. ==
As above, but the Masterminds are malevolent, god-like beings. And they're hungry. Strong-willed humans have the tastiest or most filling life energy.
* The masters are the [[Warhammer 40
== In the anime continuity, Maki had a crush on Waku. ==
She's a [[Tsundere]] who only shows her "Tsuntsun" side to Jun (becaue he abuses his sister) and Waku. If {{spoiler|he hadn't died}}, they would have eventually formed a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] relationship with each other or at least have had some Slap Slap Kiss-themed [[Ship Tease|ship teasing]]. Also, Waku was built up as [[Decoy Protagonist|the team leader]]. Maki's [[Team Mom]] tendencies and [[Action Girl]] nature would have made her a natural second-in-command. The [[Battle Couple]] that never was, indeed.
== Kodama is a descendant of [[Monster (
And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
== The game is a system for the creation of an optimized combat mecha. ==
The idea of determining which of a series of existences is most deserving by which has the best pilot and robot makes little sense. However, because the survivors are determined by the outcome of a fight, it makes sense that the most deserving mecha survives. Given that everything is, on a fundamental level, information and that there are an infinite number of alternate worlds, such a testing system would require almost zero expenditure of limited resources. All that would be needed is a method of inserting the blueprints into the operational theaters, a method of forcing combat, and a method of identifying the winner. The destruction of the loser's world is both of the latter methods. By allowing a world to 'win' by accumulating 15 victories and then passing it's mecha onwards, no world has the time needed to delve too deeply into the game or the functionality of the mecha. When a set number of mecha were left, the game would end and the winning designs would be further refined for the next test.
== The story is a metaphor for growing up. ==
Line 67:
Koyemshi is not only known for torturing little children and killing kitties for fun, but also for blatantly hiding information and outright refusing to fulfill some of the rules until the kids learn of them. This may also apply to the last pilot's fate. Think about it: Even if Kokopelli {{spoiler|did survive the last fight, he was not bound to any contract anymore, so he could contract himself again and save Yuu. Koyemshi either couldn't contract him cause he was fated to die soon after, or he was enough of an asshole to choose Yuu moments before Kokopelli won the fight, completely disregarding the rule that states that he must obey all of the contractee's wishes}}. Since he has the masterminds and the gray beetle watching over his actions, the second option is highly improbable. He also lied to Jun, then: {{spoiler|he only offered him to be the last pilot and survive in exchange for Kana's life so he would get enough people to get over with the fights for that Earth. Jun would die anyways; it's just that Koyemshi wanted to leave sooner}}. Why did {{spoiler|Youko}} didn't call him out on that? Simple: it was better if the pilots had hopes of surviving so they would give all they've got and save their world in the demo fight, assuming that the "if you lose on the demo fight, your world is destroyed instead of the new contractees' one" rule applies on the anime. The gray beetle, though politer, is suggested to be as sadistic, if not more than Koyemshi, so the whole {{spoiler|"I'll save the class pres and you can live if you replace my ass on here"}} deal was either her idea of breaking down Koyemshi's will at the time, or just Koyemshi trying to look like the "poor little guy" instead of the "little bastard who cried so badly he got what he wanted". Not that it worked, though.
== The anime is in fact a big [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|Russian Reversal]]. ==
Because GAME UNINSTALLS YOU!
Line 73:
The direct analogue of our universe was one of the fifteen universes whose pilots were defeated by Zearth. Our Earth was destroyed without even a passing mention. It seems fitting, even though there's nothing to suggest that it's true.
== The game is a sort of anti-[[Homestuck
One destroys alternate universe, the other creates them. IT'S ALL SO SIMPLE.
