The problem lies in the "NPCs". As of now, we are not certain that they are real humans or placeholders for interaction. Also, we do not know who created them: Tenshi, Yui, or some other being much higher than any character right now. It might be even Otonashi. o.o
Another theory might be that Otonashi IS the administrator of the afterlife and Tenshi is working for him directly. Tenshi might not know of his existence because she never saw him and Otonashi might not realize this because of his amnesia.

She interrupted him right when he was about to make the match winning catch. She could have just as easily picked another time. She just happened to pick the exact moment when he was about to disappear. That's a little too coincidental.

Besides, i thought there was a hidden meaning behind it. Like how the only reason that was keeping Hinata here was friendship, and actually was having a fun time with Otonashi/SSS/Yui the whole time or something sweet/corny like that

Maybe she is just that stupid. Or maybe she actually deduced that Hinata would disappear. So either she's really smart or really stupid.

Premise/Setting/Story. As such is the case, every single conscious came from suicide. All the adults went to make weapons for the students, and the show is done from the high school suiciders' perspective. The intent of the story is to demonstrate how stressful high school is for all these kids. Points of stress include sports, parents, romantic relationships, classes, accidents, traumas, assaults etc. Angel/Tenshi. There is no God, only Angel. Only one Angel. Angel reacted to the music and stopped taking down the posters are being pestered by the npcs/souls. Angel obviously has the ability to wipe them out but never did so. Capable of evolve. Unclear function and purpose of creation outside of maintaining order in the afterlife. My original theory is that Angel is a baby that died either to miscarriage or before own conscious began to form, hence she is given a spot to observe and help others pass on so she could realize the life she never had and eventually form her own story and move on. This theory obviously fail if there's only 1 Angel. Sound/Music/Beat There are heavy emphasis on this theme. Ranging from the piano, guitar, and even the little wave on the title logo. All the Angel's abilities are sound related. The Harmony ability seem to be synchronization rather than duplicates to me. They could be just riding this theme for similarity purpose, but the traces seem too suspicious to me to be purely artificial since the main character has sound as part of his name too. |

Hinata was in the gallery at the first round batter at the second round Round 4 ~ 7 he was watching by the sidelines then Tenshi came Baseball flashforward - 7 ~ 10 rounds pass by Hinata was the runner at the 11th round Hinata is now the catcher at the 13th round, the ball hasn't come to him yet Hinata asks Otonashi WHTF Takewara is doing eating noodles while catching, Otonashi says he gave him free meal tickets, Hinata uses Yui as a punching bag for Otonashi's stupidity which at this point probably made Yui snap. 4 rounds pass and the ball hasn't come near him yet, if Yui went to kick his ass now he'd catch her before she could even blink. Otonashi notices Hinata is acting odd before returning to the pitch then the overhead ball comes. This is the first time in the entire game the ball has come towards Hinata this being the special Karmic ball his guard is down then Yui lands the chokehold.. LOL Hinata broke out of the hold.. failed to remember that.

Okay, this isn't exactly a speculation or anything, but if Angel can initiate "Hand Sonic" for both hands, I'd love to see her pull off one of Gundam Exia's spinning slash moves. Plus, she's got quantization (Delay).

Girls Dead Monster. Her devilish clothes make her look "trendy", or at least that's what the SSS guys say. It also fits her rock/metal music theme. The reason for speculation on her identity is because the SSS "higher-ups" act like they don't know her (though Noda obviously does, as seen from Ep03), she has NPC friends, and she is some kind of obsessive fan with peculiar clothes (and an underling in the diversionary squad, she says).

Next, attitude. Do you see someone like TK, Matsushita and Chaa committing suicide? How about Noda, Ooyama and Christ? Tenshi and Yui? (Note that they are in the post-suicide state, therefore, their suicidal tendencies and/or depression should leave some trace.) I'm betting that they all died due to complications involving their past "regrets", but definitely not suicide. Quote:

I wonder how an Angel Beats! visual novel would be like. Something like Persona perhaps?
I don't believe most of the people committed suicide. Yuri even called their group the 'Like hell I'm dead brigade' once. Why would a suicidal be so revolted against his death like this? Quote:
