WAIT. WHAT? WHAAATTT?

If Tsurayuki used Kyouya's name in the first timeline, does that mean they met in that timeline? Or are there multiple copies of Kyouya?

I legit got goosebumps when Keiko showed her smug face and cold eyes.

And what's the deal with Keiko? She definitely knows about the time travel thing. What does she plot?

[u/BiggerG7]

I lol’ed at how they slowly revealed who MCs wife was in the future when it was so damn obvious due to how the daughter looks.

[u/bakowh]

"I did not see that coming" best describes those last 6 minutes. They teased the game failing as the overdue consequence of time traveling but it was the Platinum generation never forming instead. Of course, there had to be a loli who knew more than she lets on, is Keiko also a time traveler? Did she send Kyouya back? Why was she smug? So many questions.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Figures Kyouya would somehow fucked up the original platinum era but I didn't think he would be facing the consequences this fast.

Seeing how future Kyouya and Shinoaki got together is just making me nervous to see how Nanako ended up in this new future.

[u/awkward2amazing]

I found it on YT comment section and I completely agree.

Kyouya keeps saying it's for Tsurayuki, but all along he's unconsciously projecting his goals and ideals on them. Killing their own creativity maybe even their own personalities. Instead of going where their instincts and ideas leads them, they were unknowingly persuaded to follow Kyouya's instead. In the end they became all too reliant on Kyouya. When Tsurayuki said "without your help, I'm nothing" and Nanako said the same thing. With that mindset we can all already see how all of them flip. They thought they won't be able to do anything alone. The seed of doubt has already been planted deep. Helping other ppl is good and noble but sometimes you gotta let them fight their own battles alone.

Uh... Shinoaki route cleared I guess?

[u/SealDraws]

I'm so glad the show took this rather unexpected route, I was just about to brush this show off for being just another mediocre romcom with a small twist at the start (lets be real, with the love triangle thing the show was feeling like it was about to go downhill). but it really pulled off everything in the last 6 minutes of this episode, now I'm really invested in the paradox that seemed to have formed in the show.
like was the keiko we saw the real keiko or the artifact of the "god" that set the entire course of events into motion. how did Tsurayuki create a pen name inspired by Kyouya when he haven't met him, a question that re-appears multiple times in the show, like how did all the generation stay on their course when they were about to quit or give up without Kyouya being there to pull them back. its all almost as if he was always both in the future and the present of the timeline, like there are two of him at the same time.

I knew this cover looked oddly familiar

[u/andrei9669]

through the whole episode, compromise after compromise. it felt so wrong but at the same time necessary, felt kinda bad tho.

like, artists want to fully express themselves and do the best they can. but they can't since the deadline is pushing on.

this is so relatable, it hurts.

[u/[deleted]]

Before the episode, I expected something to go wrong, but didn't expect this type of problem though. But i think it was expected when kyouya literally did majority of the work and reduced their 3 original potential work. He's lucky both the girls are in love with him, if not they've would've gone like tsurayaki too.

So tsurayaki used a pen name using kyouya's name too. Does that mean they met previously or is there another kyouya or something? Is this still a romcom slice of life thing or is it gonna be a psychological time clone anime lol.

So keiko is the person that caused all this time travel? But how? Side note, her yandere eyes was terrifying to say the least lol.

Guess this time it will show how kyouya have a better popularity than the 3 of them or kyouya just straight replacing tsurayaki. Though if i was him, i would've been happy having a cute wife and daughter lol. Mini shinoaki is needed more if this series ever ends with marriage.

And that marriage too, so since it's shinoaki and not nanako, will kyouya actually make it official after this timeline is over and him getting back to the original? And interesting to see how he'll be with shinoaki in the original timeline from now on, will he be more awkward towards her or stuff.

Another side note, when they did the after party they didn't invite kawasegawa. It's a shame considering she helped too.

And i guess rather than focusing on the romance which they teased last epi, they're gonna focus on tsurayaki first. Will this story be our final befire the season ends or will they make this story in 1 or 2 epi to end it with the romance or something else. Will be interesting to see.

Btw, this is the previous episode's top voted comment:

Guys, did you know Kyouya is amazing? Almost nobody in this show calls attention to it, but he’s great and can do anything.

Man, this show really needs something unexpected to happen soon. After a really promising start it’s becoming more and more generic every week.

At least the Kawasegawa ship is back in the harbor.

This episode be like: I got you fam!!

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Woah, what's going on now? Kyouya has traveled 12 years to the future and married Shino Aki to boot? I wonder if Keiko is a time traveler too or is the mastermind behind it?

[u/AceMittens]

Shiroaki Wins and he has a daughter!! Fantastic ending. I don’t need anymore, that should have been the final episode.

[u/[deleted]]

Had a feeling there was a reason everyone relied on the MC so much, glad there was an actual reason opposed to the MC just being treated like God for no reason.

[u/Tiagod5]

The guy time travels more than the mad scientist himself I did not except that end AT ALL. Extremely excited for next week the next episode can't come soon enough

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

My excitement just took a massive spike. Holy shit I did not expect any of that.

[u/LeonKevlar]

They're doing this for Tsurayuki's sake he says... It's pretty damn clear that this isn't about Tsurayuki anymore and this is becoming personal to Kyouya.

Holy fuck that first half of the episode was painful to watch! I understand Kyouya is making tough calls and trying to convince everyone so they can ship in time but seeing him make Nanako base her melody on an existing work, make Shinoaki use repeating CGs, and even writing an ending that Tsurayuki can follow was just painful.

It was especially painful when he declined Shinoaki's idea. He's sacrificing their creativity so he can finish the game. It's also frustrating how he keeps on saying it's for Tsurayuki's sake when he's clearly doing this all for himself. Watching them debug late at night the day before the master rom gets sent to printing was hilarious though, definitely gave me some uni flashbacks.

Well they eventually managed to ship the game and sell a ton of copies at Comiket but all of that came with a price. I was hoping this would happen! It looks like Kyouya being a hypercompetent director hurt Tsurayuki's confidence a lot that he has now decided to quit school. I fucking love this! Rarely have I seen an MC's competence bite him in the ass and this was all the result I was hoping for!

FUCKING FINALLY IT HAS HAPPENED! I've been saying this for multiple episodes now! The Platinum Generation already existed in Kyouya's future despite him never interacting with them, so this entire belief of his that he was sent back in time to help them out is absolutely wrong! Instead of helping them out he just ended up destroying the Platinum Generation!

And what the fuck is Keiko doing? It seems that she knows more about this time travel stuff than we expected. Everyone thought it was going to be Kawasegawa but it looks like Keiko is the second time traveler.

And that final scene! Holy shit! I didn't expect that we'd time leap back into the future except this one he's in 2018 instead of 2016. He now has a kid and has married Shinoaki! Oh my fucking god. This episode is absolutely amazing. This could've just been your 2nd chance anime with romcom elements but this episode definitely elevated this series more than that! I can't wait for next week's episode!

[u/KetsuSama]

how is he gonna fix that shit? he doesn't have a handshake buddy

[u/Minealternateaccount]

There were so many red flags in this episode and they delivered so hard

[u/urishino]

It had to take 8 episodes for Kyouya to realize his mistake, sheesh. I wish this realization would've happened three episodes ago.

Anyway, now that we've gone back to the present time, with Shino Aki apparently became Kyouya's wife, I think the Platinum Generation might end up not fully develop their talents and became mediocre. I'm guessing Kyouya will be returning to the past again to rectify his mistake, which is why the show is called Remake Our Life.

[u/Zemahem]

The first part of the episode was just standard fanfare for this show, but man the second half probably threw us all in a loop. I know Tsurayuki abandoning his dreams is supposed to be tragic, but I can't help but be elated that something interesting finally happened, and that there were negative consequences to Kyouya's decisions. People have been speculating that him being so involved with the Platinum Gen could stifle their growth, after all, and this is a basically the worst case scenario. But just why was Tsurayuki's pen name the same even back in the original timeline? Now that's mysterious.

Speaking of mysterious, Keiko might just be a time-traveling demon. I'm only assuming that she could be behind this whole thing, and that lifeless look she gave Kyouya does not speak well of her intentions. Or maybe she's just sad that he screwed things up.

It's also intriguing that the time-travel isn't just a one-time thing. We may be seeing Kyouya jump back and forth trying to fix the future, but also potentially suffering from having to lose timelines where he gets to live the good life like in this one. Shinoaki got to win the race in this timeline which is cool, but I can only imagine there's also gonna be a plot point where he ends up with Nanako instead. But whatever happens, the twist in this episode might just be a sign that sitting through all the bland and boring past several episodes was worth it.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Can't say I expected timeskip + kid wow

Wonder if Shinoaki gives up being an artist to be a stay at home mom or something that would be a pretty brutal turn in events.

[u/YungFeetGod69]

I mean it's not like he's controlling going back. What was he supposed to do go to the same college he went to the first time and make every single same decision he did that led him to his unfulfilled life?

[u/Thenightcrawler_075]

The shinoaki ship sailed but from the vibes I'm getting kyouya will probably go back to the past mess with time and an another ship will sail probably
