Ugh after finishing Allan's route, I feel so sad thinking about the other routes

He rarely shows up in other routes but in Shelby's Good End, they see him packing up his stuff 'cause he "completed his mission"....... he even offers his shop and his room to them...... knowing the truth now makes me cry 😭😭

Note: my JP skills aren't perfect, some details might be wrong 🥲

There's an huge underground lab Taito City full of clones of people, Yo etc included. Yo feels like he's been there before, but doesn't tell anyone about it

Akuta (Taito's Numbers) and Zero call the clones "remaining lives" or "Continues"

---

Akuta's real goal is to kill Zero and put an end to the resurrection technology, so he proposes to Yo they join forces. However, Yo thinks the "Continues" are necessary.

--

Mid-XB, Yo's "dark side" appeared again. Seems like he got a bit of his memory back. He tells the others that this is his true self.

--

He went back to the lab after the match and messages Tsuki "I remembered a bit about the real me, and what kind of person I really am)

Zero appeared and asks him: Feeling nostalgic?

Yo says he remembers that it's the "place where he started this world" or maybe "place where he started IN this world"?（この世界を始めた場所）

Zero replies: You mean, this "game"?

Yo tells him he doesn't remember everything yet.

Zero says he was happy to see the strong and ruthless Yo, the real Yo, again after such a long time, but playing with the "righteous" Yo was not too bad either

Seems like Yo remembered / figured out a way to get back what everyone lost (Jio's feelings and Q's memories)

Zero tells him that it's up to Yo's choice, whether to accept this world, or to fight against it.

Yo tells him: You already know my choice.

Zero: ☺️

---

In his monologue at the end, he says that he, Tsuki, and Sui once made a choice there together, and he's willing to do it* over and over again until he truly clears the game. (he says 本当のクリア which doesn't include the word "game" but "clear" strongly implies it)

*the choice? the "game"? or is it about him using as many "lives" as it takes?

This is truly the cliffhanger of all time.

---

Okay so many questions, right?? Like most importantly, who the heck is Zero and how come he is so powerful?? Who really is Yo and what is his original goal? What is their relationship? Why the gaming terminologies?

Also even if he is "bad", seems like he truly treasures the Trash Tribe members, cause he wants to help get back what Jio and Q lost. Zero says that too ("You've gained a lot of precious nakama allies")
