[@JPminer814]

@@pablolacerda1331 Reply to the Above spoiler. They got a few things wrong. . . . . . . . Urano was always Myne, Myne was always Urano. The fanbook explains this better but to make a long story short. Urano reincarnated with no memories as Myne. Myne, having the devouring, kept building up mana causing the wall blocking her Urano memories to slowly break down. During one of the side stories, Myne's mom recolects Myne saying she wanted to life in her dream world. Myne was slowly remembering her past self. Right before Urano becomes myne, as we see in the anime, "old" Myne is suffering from a really bad episode of her devouring. This ends up being the last bit needed to completely break down the wall separating her memories as Urano, causing what we see in the anime. "Old" Myne didn't die, but rather had what memories she already did have get flooded with her previous life. As she was an adult before she died, Urano had quite a few more memories, which is the cause for the confusion. TLDR - The old Myne didn't die but rather remembered all of her past life's memories as Urano.

SPOILERS The truth is that Urano IS Myne, its just that when she reincarnated her memories became dormant and should've been overwritten and forgotten as she grew up. But because Myne was so weak and spent so much time sleeping, she got flashes of memories in her dreams. When Urano "wakes up" as Myne and is confused, that's when Myne "dies" for the first time, or at least comes so close to death that her memories from her previous life reawaken. Myne and Urano aren't separate souls or personalities, Myne is just Urano with amnesia essentially, and when her memories come back so do her mannerisms. That's why she initially can't understand the language of this world, her brain automatically relies on the stronger memories of speaking Japanese.

I liked this a lot more than most because it probably weighs down a lot on Main’s heart because she thinks that all the love people have for her isn’t directed towards her but the previous Main and that makes her think that she has no place to belong, thought yes she has made a place for herself everybody just thinks that’s shes the same person that she’s al sys been and no one really accepted her as herself. So that’s why I think this is really important because she finally felt accepted by a person she cares for and was able to lift some of the burden on her heart. It’s also good because letting words out verbally to someone will undoubtedly help a person with a many number of things, so just being able to finally voice out something was another way that she could lift the burden on her heart and she now has someone that she doesn’t have to lie to and feel guilty about with would place a heavier burden on her heart.

Maybe 6 years old is old enough to develop basic brain function.

They have the memory from birth but can't understand it till older. 3. In cases like Main (Mane, seen spelled both ways). The original person has mentally died, so the new person moves in taking place of the original owner. Some because they where 1st available and only a short time to do the switch before true death. Others because the God had a plan for them but something happened to take them out too early. Either the being swapped into or the other truck kun hit. 4. They are transferred to the new place as if nothing happened. And continue living.

Well, this has got to be the best isekai i've watched, i mean out of all the anime's, i think this is the only one where the mc talks about their past life, i've seen some similar in manhwa's but i've only seen one so far, so having this type of conversation is really rare and is a treasure to the isekai category.

[@sabianwarner5316]

They most likely never will. I don't know if you have read the light novel but if you haven't, I'd definitely recommend it. Also Myne's family found Mynes weird behavior weird but they were just happy to see their before bed ridden, nearly dead daughter back up and lively so they couldn't care less. Atleasts that's my interpretation. I'm also only up to part 3 in the light novel lol.

Bento also suspected something unusual about her. But he had nothing to compare it to since he didn’t know her before. And he was concerned about his profit so he figured it would be better to let it go. The head priest also questioned her several times about her apparent high-level education acknowledge of how to behave in high society. Once commenting how can you be so smart and dumb at the same time?

[@melonlord1414]

Would you tell them? I don't see why she would. Her parents wouldn't pry like Lutz did. They are just happy that their Daughter is more active than before. Main changed with 5 years. It's a time where the personality is still forming, so the parents probably wouldn't question why she changed.

Actually reflecting on her past life is satisfying. As someone said in the comments, its pretty rare for these things to happen. For someone else to know who she is makes it feel more grounded, like her being in someone elses body isnt just gonna be passed off. The anime does great on it.

I always thought Motosu was reincarnated in place of Main when the child died of her fever. But the creator says she was reincarnated in the usual way and was always part of Main. Motosu's memories were only awakened when Main nearly died at the age of five.

[@Tyarrk]

where did she say that?

[@JustClaude13]

@@Tyarrk It was in an interview. I suspect if the creator has that detail in mind it'll come up in the books.

[@Tyarrk]

@@JustClaude13 interesting, that kinda contradicts the first episode though ... eh, whatever, it´s not like this minor detail is detrimental to the story. thanks for clearing things up!

[@JustClaude13]

@@Tyarrk It doesn't actually contradict the first episode. It just separates the two personalities. Motosu perceived a previous person fading out, but perceptions are sometimes illusions. Particularly when an author wants to pull a later surprise. A later chapter might reawaken Myne1 and cause problems until the two personalities are integrated. Imagine waking up and finding that you're living somewhere else a few y4ears later and have no idea how you got there or what you're supposed to be doing. Lutz would have his hands full trying to cover for her while bring her up to date. Season 3 starts in April. I'm looking forward to her next adventure.

[@Tyarrk]

@@JustClaude13 that is certainly an interesting idea. but with all the other story parts going around, that would be extremely hard to pull of in a way, that it doesn´t confuse the fuck out of the audience and/or ruin her entire character development. we don´t even know, if Lutz will be able to stay at her side in the future. i would surely not go down that path. in terms of storytelling i don´t think such a twist is worth the risk.
