Though that could easily change depending on his memories, and how he, Yuri and Tenshi continue to interact.

Yes, I feel to agree with those who this he is God like the plot of 'Death Takes a Holiday/Meet Joe Black", but with God's memory erase or maybe an Angel sent to infiltrate the resistance like the plot of 'Total Recall'.

Its a Key series, so nothing is so simple. So I'm suspecting:
1) Otonashi's really God trying to understand why these kids are trying not to go to the afterlife. This would explain why Tenshi must develop her own abilities rather than being given to her by God, as God is currently MIA. 2) Otonashi's not really dead. Rather, he's just experiencing a near-death experience. He helps the others accept their lives and move on with their next ones. Series ends with him 15 years later seeing Yuri and the rest of the kids new reincarnations all attending the same school.

Otonashi is quite a good tsukkomi type character so far, loving him and Hiroshi Kamiya really awesome as him.
Otonashi(Soundless) imo probably referring to his last moments before death like he falls into the darkness and thinks that everything looks dark and "no sound", hence why the word otonashi is the first thing that crosses into his mind That being said itt there is still a possibility that he is God himself |

While I really like his character so far it's just Otonashi is really reminding me of Araragi more and more especially with Yui, I mean it was just like an exchange between him, and Mayoi for some reason except less violent, wonder why, they don't have the same VA or anything, and yet still reminds me .
Spoiler for Konakaga's crazy completely impossible Otonashi Theory/referencing to Bakemonogatari, also not serious:

Definitely looking towards a conversation. Though I just wonder how eager Otonashi would be for that. The last time they had a 'chat' he did get stabbed after all . It was a good way to answer his question, but that kind of thing does leave an impact on the mind.

She seems rather accommodating overall, though. If he just opened the conversation with "Please respond only with words, not actions", she'd probably agree.
I mean, she might not give you the answer you want (since it seems Yuri's group tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't answer), but just put your cards on the table to make sure you don't get a Hand Sonic through the chest and you should be fine. |

Well I have this gut feeling that he has some role with the Tenshi. Ever since the final part in episode one. Where he looks back and you get the view point of Tenshi's lonelyness. (what I made out of it)
Tho its wasn't nice of her to leathally stab him in the first place. Now if you take episode three into consideration Spoiler for Episode 3:
Its only a gut feeling, but I think theres something between Otonashi and the Tenshi to come. Especially since he has no memory of his previously life. That sorta stands the the key. I might be wrong tho. But still gives me hope to look forward too ps - I like the Otonashi/Arararararagi feel. Even if they are same voice actors

However, in Episode 1, diddn't Tenshi say that 'Amnesia happens frequently here'. I agree that there seems to be some connection between these two, but maybe the fact that Otonashi has amnesia is merely a means of exposing this connection? Or was that what you meant in the first place Velsy |
