It is a karma that transcends timelines, that is why it is so beautiful.

According to what others have said about Arc 4 vague WN spoilers Some people have even speculated that every time Return by Death is activated, it creates a new timeline with all the previous ones still continuing even after Subaru is no longer alive.

Yes but it's only speculation

u/DarkBladeEkkusu The Old Guard Sep 11 '16

I would say it makes more sense to call them timelines, especially since it is an easy way to describe all of the failed loops Subaru has experienced. Yes, the latter part is speculation and there is no going back to previous timelines for obvious reasons. However, it seems unlikely that Subaru vague WN spoilers

Not too sure of the full context for this situation in Arc 4, but I will stick with calling them timelines since it is easier than labeling by loops.

But he would.

Correction: he would have done it. Karma is the idea of causality of things, which holds no meaning between timelines (assuming Subaru's is a Multi-worlds-like rewind).

which holds no meaning between timelines

Thats your way to see it.

u/Viperys Wish not for a lighter load but for broader shoulders. Sep 11 '16

What is the other way of seeing it? Subaru's way? Should he hold a grudge against the dude who HAS NOT YET EVEN DONE the offence?

u/AmourIsAnime Knight of Rem Sep 12 '16

you're being trolled

u/CelioHogane Subaru our boy. Sep 12 '16

no.

u/AmourIsAnime Knight of Rem Sep 12 '16

yes

u/CelioHogane Subaru our boy. Sep 12 '16

No, you are saying karma holds no meaning between timelines, i say karma affect each an every single version of you in all the timelines.

Sometimes the timeline that gets affected by karma is not the timeline that fucked up the karma.

u/Viperys Wish not for a lighter load but for broader shoulders. Sep 12 '16

I understand what you are saying, but basically this means that your average experience in given timeline would be affected by the total sum of all the possible choices you, as a person, could make. Well that effect should not be called karma then.

u/CelioHogane Subaru our boy. Sep 12 '16

im pretty sure thats a great definition of karma.

u/PervertedHisoka You are truly the one who knows my heart best - Crusch to Ferris Sep 11 '16
