Look, we know that everyone's memories of Ragna have become blanks but we also think that somehow

So remember that theory you posted:

Moving to the topic, I've got a thought: what if this dark Noel is actually Izanami, who inhabited Noel's body instead of Saya's? This was before Izanami got a separate voice actor, so it might work. That is a good theory, but it could also be Alpha -No. 1- or something along those lines. If Izanami truely is some kind of death incarnate, ending the series with CF would be very dissapointing since her soul and ego, along with every bloody thing elses in existance, lives on forever.

Speking of which, Ragna dissapearing like that only leaves an indirect "to be continued". Ending the series with CF would ruin the story for the fanbase (especially Ragna X Nu fans) and Mori would recieve massive backlash, thus causing the series to suffer financially.

Also, still impossible to completely erase memories, one can only heavily supress them for so long before something pops up, no matter how small said memory may be or how heavily supressed it was. Example (also spoiler alert): In Xenoblade Chronicles (only using it as an example because it's so convieniant) there's this guy called Gadolt. Everyone thought him to be dead, but in reality he was taken, made into a Mechon (robot/cyborg) and had his memories wiped. However, since his girlfriend, Sharla, was with the main group when he was found again, small glimises of his past keep popping up. He regains his memories, despite essentially being more machine than man at this point, and sacrifices his life for Sharla just in time.

Point being, you can only supress memories through hypnosis or cybornetics, the truth always comes out. Don't matter if Ragna 'stole' them and put them in his diary or whatever. I know that everyone has blanks where Ragna was, but one can never truely lose something they've seen or heard once it's happened. Sure, it all "try to merge with [BLANK]", "You're the brother of Saya and [BLANK] ", "You trained [BLANK] to wield [BLANK'S] sword" but those are just gaps. I could go into some sciencce that i don't even understand buuuuuuttt... I won't.

 The only thing that's impossible that fans want reversed is Celica and Nine to come back, now THAT is impossible.

Logically, most of the cast WILL recover those memories somehow and Ragna will return. If  they don't, the series wouldn't make much sense after CF, the fanbase will start disliking the series and Arc Systems would suffer a financial hit. I'll leve things at that. Feel free to argue it however you like. If needed, close this discussion down after replying and continue it somewhere else. I'm pretty sure Draph's getting tired from this now.
