I'm surprised nobody here mentioned that this is probably Date's first kill in this body and his first natural "dose", and the last line probably isn't about Date breaking down from killing "Boss", but more disturbingly, *enjoying it.*
Semi-good ending: Date gets Boss's damaged body & Saito get's his normal body back. Saito ended tricking Date and blows up Hitomi anyway. Aiba (still in the eye socket) shocks Saito. Date is bleeding out and dying and assumes that parallel worlds exist. Bad ending: Date & Saito (inside boss's body) both die? after Hitomi gets blown up. Never getting the chance to switch bodies Shoko, Renju, Iris, Ota, Hitomi, Boss, and Date all die in Annihilation Bad End and Annihilation Semi-Good End.
@@Nute202 Date doesn't die. The injuries to Boss's body aren't life-threatening, they just leave the body crippled because Boss's leg bones were broken so it couldn't move very much. The thing with Annihilation Route Date is that he's *mentally* broken. He's devastated, despondent, and has a mental breakdown after Saito blows up Hitomi because Saito effectively won, and Date's life was systematically ruined. He lost everything. His friends, family, everyone he held dear to him are all dead at the hands of Saito, and Date now has nothing. Saito on the other hand is arrested and incarcerated after he was zapped, but Date is left with nothing but pain and grief because his life his ruined, everyone he loved is dead and he couldn't do anything to protect them. He then recalls Iris's words from the Iris Route timeline via morphogenetic field theory and that gives him a sliver of hope despite everything, he's clinging to the hope that in another timeline, ie the Resolution Route, that events play out differently and that the Date who exists in that timeline has a better future and a brighter conclusion than the one he ended up having. In the Bad End he kills Saito in Boss's body in a fit of rage after the latter blows up Hitomi, but Date still has a mental breakdown over the fact that Hitomi died and that Saito still ultimately won. Even though he knows it isn't Boss, seeing her body dead also breaks him even further.
I didn't understand at first but after seeing this again, I'm pretty sure date snaps & kills boss. The guilt of this even tho it wasn't her just puts him into shock. That or he kills himself afterwards. It's pretty dark but that's why it's a "bad"ending. Bad endings should be dark

Oh that's messed up
what is the difference between this bad ending and the semi-good ending?
Semi-good ending: Date gets Boss's damaged body & Saito get's his normal body back. Saito ended tricking Date and blows up Hitomi anyway. Aiba (still in the eye socket) shocks Saito. Date is bleeding out and dying and assumes that parallel worlds exist.
Bad ending: Date & Saito (inside boss's body) both die? after Hitomi gets blown up. Never getting the chance to switch bodies
Shoko, Renju, Iris, Ota, Hitomi, Boss, and Date all die in Annihilation Bad End and Annihilation Semi-Good End.
@@Nute202 Actually, Date apparently survived in the Annihilation route according to a dev interview couple of months ago.

@@edmundpark8107 what about mizuki isn't she still alive
@@majorawaker4067 Mizuki is no longer herself. She is beyond broken and barely speaking. In a way he has lost Mizuki entirely and a new one exists.
Can someone explain to me that last part?
he commited sucide. Or "Boss" killed him
@@Tafp. I thought he punched "boss", hence why her body rolled across the floor.
