← view full thread · [Spoilers] Gnosia - Episode 02 Discussion
Absolute banger of an episode! I was right about the Gnosia changing every loop but I was not expecting that ending!! There's new people aboard the ship which makes guessing the Gnosia even harder. I thought he would have to loop multiple times and each time he would find clues and get to know the other people on board better but this is waaaay more fun and exciting. So every loop we diverge from the "original" timeline of Setsu knowing about loops and giving Yuri the death loop power. From Racio's explanation as well, it seems that each action that Yuri takes causes a branch in the timeline. So every time he resets, there are more and more timelines he could "reset" into. Timelines and hopping between them always confuses me so I'm interested to see other's interpretations on this as well. Also, I wonder if the goal is for Yuri to eventually make it back to the "original" timeline and save Setsu. I think LeVi will become a critical piece to solving this whole Gnosia puzzle. The only thing that won't change is her. The environment in which the sequence of events take place and the entity that is running these games (LeVi) won't change. Eventually, Setsu won't be there anymore and there will be more people onboard after every loop but LeVi will always be there. If Yuri is able to figure out how to "use" or get LeVi's help, then that would his ultimate trump card. --- The Setsu of this timeline doesn't know about the timelines or the death loop powers but she's still the same Setsu in terms of how she acts and her personality. It makes you wonder if the Setsu from the original timeline got the death looping power from someone but they (Setsu) couldn't achieve the "good" ending so they passed it onto Yuri. 
Also, in this timeline SQ assumes Setsu is a man but in the "original" timeline she calls Setsu a woman.
I already suspected Jina here since at the meeting she said she would vote for SQ but during the actual voting process she voted for Setsu. Her goal was to eliminate the person closest to Yuri to make him feel all alone. Then she would come in and gain his trust so they would vote for the same person together. She would then eliminate one person during the warp and the mission is complete.
Setsu gave Yuri some good advice here. He was too anxious and eager during the meetings which caused Setsu's demise since Setsu tried to cover for him. He needs to observe more and think about his actions before speaking up. He also needs to conceal his meek personality because it's making him an easy target for the Gnosia to manipulate.
Jina was able to manipulate Yuri too easily here but I can't really blame him. This was all planned out quite well by Jina.
Lmao I wasn't expecting LeVi to have this sort of reaction. I thought she was just an AI but she seems to have an actual personality. This either means she's a super advanced AI that is able to mimic human emotions or she's a living being herself. I'm leaning towards the latter because she confirmed that she does exist somewhere on the ship when Yuri asked her.
Racio's explanation is really important information for Yuri here. At least now he knows that every loop has that possibility of being completely different than the previous one. How he's gonna use that information will be key.
I wonder if this "effect" is one of Yuri's powers now. Is he able to ascertain if someone's lying? Technically Jina told the truth because she is human but you have to read between the lines. She's a human that's been infected with the Gnosia disease. Or maybe being infected by the Gnosia makes you no longer human in which case she was in fact lying.
SQ dropping an absolutely cold line that Yuri should keep in mind as well. Preconceptions cloud your judgement and it can often times lead you down the wrong road.
It was pretty easy to guess Jina was the Gnosia this time around but I suspect next episode will be a lot harder.
Absolute banger of an ending. I'm so excited for next week's episode to see what these new characters are like. The girl came rushing in and said she adores Yuri so it seems like they know each other well. Yuri obviously doesn't remember her because of his amnesia. Is she a friend or foe? Is she making all of this up? Is Yuri being manipulated again by the Gnosia?
