For example, in the Kanna true ending, with a new Hypersense Stone to keep her alive and healthy, she and Takuya live together in her apartment, happy and horny, and pursue their careers. But they are still definitely doomed because the route to attain this ending confirms Ryuuzouji is still on the loose using his Niarb powers to steal people’s bodies, and Takuya still has the Reflector, which Ryuuzouji knows about. If it is up to Takuya to protect her, as opposed to Eriko, Ryuuzouji is definitely going to kill Kanna. Furthermore, if Takuya is there to save Kanna at the end of the third day, that means, because he was not around, that Mio dies alone in a cave, Ayumi has killed herself, Toyotomi has got away with his crimes, and Ryuuzouji has enslaved, raped, and possibly shot Mitsuki. 🤗 Happy ending! 🤗 If the player chooses the happy ending for Ayumi or for Mio instead, Takuya will be there to use the Reflector to steal the Hypersense Stone from Geo Technics, and so Kanna will die in Meiunji Park. Does he even notice all of his friends and family’s deaths? The Epilogue, in which Takuya forsakes society forever to impregnate his vapid daughter, seems to indicate that Ayumi, Mitsuki, Kanna, Mio, and possibly Yuuki all die because he is not there to save them.
Kanna’s true ending is not preferable anyway. She is decades older than her boyfriend and will outlive him. What a shame that this sweetheart’s broader role is to enforce Koudai’s will by keeping Takuya on the quest to fuck his daughter—and that, through time travel hijinx, she too is Takuya’s biological daughter! Yes, Takuya has sex with both of his children, though at the time neither he nor Kanna realize their relationship. What is weird is that no character notices that Kanna is conceived in a (weird and rather creepy) sex scene between Takuya and Amanda in the Epilogue. This detail is left open only for the player to observe. I suppose Kanno may have been going down a checklist of porn scenarios, one of which was “accidental incest.” Who cares what any of it “means”? What is this, a story? That people call outstanding and beautiful, you say?
Incidentally, not for a moment does the script interrogate Takuya’s hideous betrayal of Kanna, either. She is the only available partner who is aware of the Reflector. In her good ending, required to reach the Epilogue and finish YU-NO, Kanna, newly believing in the possibility of happiness in life, has Takuya promise to return to her once his journey ends.
This promise is impossible to keep. The player needs every jewel to activate the machine under Triangle Mountain and so cannot leave a jewel save with Kanna. Takuya, Kanno does not seem to notice, must abandon Kanna like Koudai abandons Ayumi—in effect abandon her to impregnate a woman, raise the daughter, and then choose that daughter as a sexual partner over Kanna. I guess Takuya has a preferred child. Yu-no even uses the same language of being together “forever and ever.”
