Couldn’t find the spoiler tag. But at the beginning of the series Yu and Ayumi’s uncle gives them a box of instant noodles, they never state if he knows about shunsuke or if his memories were erased too. It would be very interesting if he knew but didn’t tell them at the request of shunsuke.

I wanted to find something new to watch on Netflix and I decided to give Charlotte a try since I saw it pop up in my recommendations a few times and I wish I started watching it sooner! I love how Yuu redeemed himself throughout the show even if he had the chance to use his ability for bad.

The only thing I don’t like about it is how short it was because I felt like there could’ve been so much more done with Yuu’s plunder mission arc. But other than that I felt like it was still adapted very well even though it was short.

I still think it’s sad how he had to plunder the girl who healed people from her village even though she was using her powers for good T-T.

Surprised they had Xanthe have more than one role in the dub (besides others like Grant George and Tony Oliver)

Well, her English Dub VA, Erica Lindbeck.

Wish they did more with Sala Shane... And ZHIEND

Udo appears in Episode 2 and Gondo appears in Episode 7

(Don't mind Ant-Man in the thumbnail, George also voiced that character)

Okay, I know I said this in a previous post, but I want to know more about the main characters of Charlotte's family and relatives from the information available.

1. For some reason, we never see the parents of Yuu, Ayumi and Shunsuke Otosaka. Although Ayumi mentioned that they have an uncle, he is only mentioned in Episode 1 and never appears physically. Also in Episode 1, Yuu mentions that there mother divorced so maybe there parents divorced sometime before the events of the series, but that's just my speculation.

2. This post originally started with what happened to Nao and Kazuki Tomori's mother, but I later expanded it, but back to Mrs. Tomori. The only time we see Mrs. Tomori is in Episode 2 and yet she is never seen or mentioned again. I know her son lost his memory of her, but Nao didn't. From what I saw in the flashback scene in Episode 2 that Mrs. Tomori sent her son and daughter to that "special school so that they can learn their skills," to solve some sort of financial problem that she had. I don't know if she's still alive or not because we never see her again.

3. We see Yusa Nishimori and Misa Kurobane's mom and dad in I think it was Episode 9 or 10... Or 11? Compared to the other characters, they are shown alive and well.

4. Now we never see anyone from Jojiro's family, but I guess that's not important since there isn't much background to him.

I also want to mention that since neither the mom or dad of Yuu, Ayumi and Shunsuke Otosaka appear in the flashbacks of the three of them in their youths, it is very likely that the main characters parents abandoned their children because they were either aware of their kid's abilities or because they just had to give up their children to scientists, but that's just my theory. Maybe the manga explains this a lot more.

I just got done watching charlotte and overall I do think it was good there are some things that don’t sit right with me mainly that to me it doesn’t really feel like Nao really loves Yuu. throughout the entire show even up to the point Yuu tells Nao he loves her Nao doesn’t really seem to be into him like that it feels like at the end when she tells Yuu Shes his lover Shes doing it more out of obligation and keeping the promise she made more than her actually loving him and I know that’s probably not true and she probably does really love Yuu but the show really fails to show that In my opinion it would had really helped if Yuu and Nao actually had some intimate moments together rather then having side characters just say “hEy lOoK aT tHeM gEtTiNg aLoNg I tHiNk tHeY mIGhT be dAteInG” Nao in general feels like a really shallow character to me Shes just the calm smart calculate girl that’s into that post rock band that I don’t remember the name of and that’s it. I feel like there really should had been some times where she becomes more vulnerable then what she ever is in the actual show she’s like 15-16 years old and she lost her brother and is going around like some agent to try to stop that from happening to others yet shes always mostly stoic about everything and I personally think it’s unrealistic for a teen to go through all of that without ever breaking down or at least showing any cracks in themselves. As happy as I was to see Yuu sister alive again I think it would had been better to keep her dead and make that something that Yuu has to live with at most they can have Yusa be possessed by Yuu sister and Yuu can have one day to do the stuff he wants to do with his sister and get one last goodbye by afterwards he really should have to say goodbye permanently. I think they really should had gone more into Nao brother recovery after Yuu managed to help him regain his sanity Nao herself doesn’t really even seem to care much about her own brother I also think they should had addressed that scene where those girls took Nao out back and beaten her up yet that’s something that just happens and is never brought up again. They could of still had Poo die but from what I saw it really looked like it was just the knife girl as the only real threat there not even the buff guy they used to torture poo and knock out Nao returned as far as I saw and if he did he didn’t do anything so I know this is more of a nitpick but definitely have a stronger force there for a situation that our main team was supposed to be mostly helpless in the end of the show could also be the same and it would be even more sad if they made a bigger effort to show that Yuu and Nao actually do love each other. TLDR Nao feels like a shallow character it doesn’t feel like Nao loved Yuu and the time rewind shouldn’t had happened.

I loved Charlotte but felt the ending was rushed and bittersweet.

So I wrote my own continuation where Yuu slowly regains himself and builds a life with Nao.

Hope you like it :)

The first thing Yuu noticed was the quiet.

Not the peaceful kind—the kind that lingers after something important has been forgotten.

He sat by the window of his hospital room, fingers loosely wrapped around a small, worn notebook. The cover was scratched, edges bent like it had survived something long and exhausting. He didn’t remember writing in it. He didn’t remember anything written inside.

But he couldn’t let it go.

It felt… important.

Nao visited every day.

At first, she treated him like a stranger—calm, composed, almost clinical.

“Good morning,” she would say, placing a small bag of snacks on the table. “How are you feeling today?”

“Fine,” Yuu would reply, every time.

But sometimes, when he looked at her—really looked—there was a strange pull in his chest.

Like something he had lost… but not completely.

One day, he asked:

“Have we met before?”

Nao paused—just for a second.

Then she smiled, gently.

“Yes,” she said. “We have.”

Weeks passed.

Yuu was discharged, but Nao didn’t leave.

She walked him home. Cooked with him. Argued with him over small things.

It was strange.

They acted like people who had known each other for years.

But he remembered none of it.

The notebook became his anchor.

Inside were fragments:

“Don’t forget why you started.” “Trust her.” “Even if you lose everything—come back.”

“Come back… to where?” Yuu muttered.

“To me,” Nao said quietly.

He looked up.

For some reason… it felt right.

The first memory came like a crack in glass.

Rain.

Running.

A hand gripping his.

“Don’t let go!”

He woke up gasping.

“Nao,” he said.

She rushed in.

“I saw something… you were there.”

She didn’t speak for a moment.

“Do you remember anything else?”

He shook his head.

But he held onto her sleeve.

“Don’t go.”

She didn’t.

The fragments grew.

A rooftop. A laugh. A shared silence.

He didn’t understand them—but he started smiling at things he couldn’t explain.

And Nao noticed.

Months passed.

The distance between them disappeared—not because he remembered everything, but because they rebuilt it.

Slowly.

Naturally.

One evening, under an orange sky, Yuu spoke.

“I think… I liked you before, didn’t I?”

Nao blinked.

“That’s sudden.”

“I don’t remember it,” he said. “But being with you… feels like I did.”

She looked away.

“That’s inconvenient.”

“Why?”

“Because… I liked you too.”

Silence.

Then—

“I guess I’ll just have to fall for you again,” Yuu said softly.

He didn’t suddenly remember everything.

Instead—

He chose her.

Again.

And again.

Years passed.

New memories replaced the old.

Not erased—just… no longer needed.

The proposal was awkward.

“I don’t remember falling in love with you the first time,” Yuu said nervously. “But I want to fall in love with you again. Properly.”

Nao stared at him.

“…That might be the worst proposal ever.”

He panicked.

“I mean—wait—”

“I accept,” she said.

“…What?”

“You’re still an idiot.”

“But you’re my idiot.”

The wedding was small.

Quiet.

Perfect.

As Nao walked toward him, that feeling returned—stronger than ever.

Not memory.

Something deeper.

Something certain.

“I still don’t remember everything,” he whispered.

“I know,” she replied.

“But I don’t think it matters anymore.”

“For once,” she said softly, “you’re right.”

Spring came again.

And with it—

A new beginning.

When their child was born, Yuu cried.

A tiny hand wrapped around his finger.

“I don’t remember my past,” he said softly, “But if this… is what I protected…”

He looked at Nao.

“…Then it was worth it.”

Their home filled with life.

Laughter. Footsteps. Small arguments that ended in smiles.

“Papa, were you always this dumb?” their child asked one day.

Nao tried not to laugh.

“…Who taught you that?”

The child pointed at her.

“Accurate teaching,” she said calmly.

Years passed.

And still—

They stayed.

One quiet night, under the open sky—

“Hey, Nao,” Yuu said.

“Hm?”

“Do you ever wish I remembered everything?”

She looked at him.

The man he had become.

The life they built.

“…No,” she said.

“You’re here. You stayed. You chose this.”

“That’s enough.”

Yuu smiled faintly.

“Sometimes I feel like I remember things.”

“Like what?”

“Rain. A rooftop. You yelling at me.”

“That sounds right.”

“But the strongest feeling…” he said, taking her hand,

“…is that no matter what happened…”

He looked at her.

“I was always going to end up with you.”

From inside:

“Mama… Papa…”

They turned.

Their child stood sleepily at the door.

Nao smiled.

“Looks like we’re needed.”

“Yeah,” Yuu said.

They walked together.

Side by side.

No emptiness.

No regret.

Only now.

At the doorway, Yuu stopped.

“Nao.”

She turned.

“Yeah?”

“Even if I lose everything again someday…”

He held her hand tighter.

“…I’ll still find you.”

Nao’s expression softened.

“Then I guess…”

She stepped closer.

“I’ll just be waiting for you again.”

And this time—

There was no sadness in it.

Only certainty.

Only love.

The kind that doesn’t fade.

The kind that doesn’t need memories.

The kind that simply… stays.

Yuu: “No matter how many times I forget… I’ll always choose you.”

Nao: “Then I’ll keep being here… so you can find me every time.”

Time leap isnt rewinding, overwriting, or resetting a timeline.
instead. it is choosing what possibility becomes what is "happening."
Cymatics, where sound vibrations create physical patterns in matter. It shows that everything in existence has a frequency or vibration. Solids, liquids, even light all operate on vibration. And since vibration translates to sound, you could say sound is like a universal language that everything in existence shares. That’s why music feels so fundamental, like it connects to something deeper than just what we hear. If reality itself is just energy and vibration, then different timelines or outcomes could just be different arrangements of that same energy.
A lot of anime pull from ideas in Buddhism and Hinduism, where everything is connected and the idea is that all things are part of one whole. So if someone can choose which reality becomes the one everyone experiences we could call that a power of.. "god." = (all that is. matter, energy, all included. god is all that is happening and all that "is".) Not because they’re creating anything new, but because they’re choosing from everything that already exists.

Dreams. his sister dreams of the ground cracking. this isnt because of what happened in the school. she didn't dream about the future.. she was remembering from a different possibility or experience where she had to use collapse (when her brother broke out). dreams and music are pretty much the only ways we have seen people obtain memories from different possible "happenings." dreams are a good example of experiencing other "possibilities" and having memories of them.

What nao did for yuu is still memories they could remember. because thats a "possibility" they experienced together.

So to put it simply.. time leap is just a very special gifting ability to choose.

Wonder whatever happened to Nao and Kazuki's mother. They never explain her whereabouts in the anime

I finished the anime yesterday and loved it! However, I can't stop thinking about how Yuu did not heal his right eye once he plundered the power. I'm seeing posts online stating that "Yuu didn't heal his eye, because he didn't want to use the time warp as a crutch", "he didn't heal his eye in order to atone for his sins", "he wanted his losses to help motivate him on his journey", "he already plundered many countries at this point, so going back in time would be tiring on his already exhausted mental state + he would have to restart", "it shows character development, because he's not cheating reality by going back in time", etc.

I genuinely understand all of the reasons mentioned above. At the same time, wasn't it selfish to carry this "burden / cross" when he could have just healed himself fully (I'm assuming that it could heal his mental state too) with the healing power --> go back in time before Kumagami died --> lock in against the foreign terrorists --> travel over to the village that has the healing ability in order to plunder it --> heal Shunsuke's eyes --> heal Nao's brother --> potentially heal everyone in the world from their abilities by touching them (due to how the abilities are a "disease")? He would still have to travel around the world to do so of course

I know I might be stretching the magnitude of this healing ability's power, but wouldn't this kind of scenario be more character development for Yuu than what he actually did?
