[Late night chatter]
As we all know, the upcoming anime will have both SS4 and Date A Bullet. In the context of Date A Bullet, the theory is that when Kurumi was killed by Mio in volume 18, Kurumi started her journey.
The Spirits upon death will be sent back to the Neighbouring World - The World of Spirits. In Date A Bullet also talked about Kurumi's purpose here - Reclaiming her lost memories. Kurumi now only remembered that she loved someone very much and wanted to see him again, but she couldn't remember his face.
So, what did the stories just have to do with each other? If SS4 only had 1 cour, it would end at vol 15, when Kurumi went back to Raizen high school it would be very satisfying. But with DAB also having anime, it is very likely that SS4 will have 2 cour, cour 2 cover up to volume 19, so that viewers can understand the context of DAB.
And if this is true, be prepared, we will cry a lot, when the drama climax is now really beginning 🙃
We are in the endgame now.
