In the end, it’s a victory, albeit bittersweet. The Mogs have been defeated, Setrákus Ra has been sent back to the depths of space, and the surviving Garde, whether human or Loric, can now return to Earth, scarred though it is. And after everything he’s been through, John Crews can finally find some peace. The ending is hopeful, yes, but one can’t help feeling that the ultimate cost of reaching that point has been too high to bear.

The secret place at the end of a story can be viewed in a number of ways by the reader and writer alike. Some readers want to literally plot out the story to the end and identify the secret place with a safe village or hidden island. Others view the end of a story in more metaphorical terms such as finding freedom, forgiveness or even death. Others will read the secret place in terms of the social commentary in a story and try to work out what the author’s comment on politics, class and identity is.
All that ambiguity is fabulous fodder for fan art, timelines, and theories, of course, and fans do create them all, with sometimes conflicting, sometimes corresponding views of what they perceive. The most compelling interpretations of a secret place are those that shed light on what drew readers to the story in the first place and thereby suggest what the author’s valuing of that place says about what our community values right now. I’m left feeling wistful but also strangely hopeful.

For me, one of the biggest assets to the series is the extreme depth given to all of the characters and how they experience life on this crazy rollercoaster with us. Needless to say, the attempt to try to uncover further meaning as well as speculated alternate storylines have brought forth many captivating Nana fan theories. As was stated previously, many believe that the relationship between the two Nanas (Osaki & Komatsu, or simply ‘Hachi’) will shape up in unique ways as they each attempt to fulfill their separate quests for life. Some speculate that perhaps the two dream-chasers are meant to search for stability with each other and debate what will happen if each of them ends up living alternate lives. Maybe their relationship will symbolize hope, and the chase for both of their lives and ambition.
The fate of Ren can also lead to interesting discussions within the ‘Nana’ fan community. Many of them wonder whether Nana Osaki would have grown up as much as she did if Ren hadn’t died, and how her life would have been different. It’s possible that Ren could have brought Nana back down to earth, or maybe he would have fueled her darker ambitions. Nana Osaki’s emotional reactions to Ren’s death are felt throughout the story and spark conversations regarding how loss affects people to such great extent.
There are also many great theories related to the timeframe of the novel and the relations of its characters. It’s said that the novel presents a non-linear timeframe of its characters, therefore they are distant from reality. The theories of the fans are also split around the issue of whether the characters are pursuing their dreams or just illusions. Does the reality of the characters blend with their fantasies? Are they trying to fulfill their destiny? These are the kinds of questions that fans have to answer while discussing the series and they have numerous interpretations.
But, the largest amount of interpretations for every event that is taking place in the series, weave together within the story line of ‘Nana’ and expose the merits of an excellent story writer. For this reason, there are plenty of discussion themes within the series for everyone. Each of the stories mirroring human relations and their aspirations, allow viewers to relate to them, inspire discussion and teach a lesson, thereby, enabling the series to remain one of the great and classic works of Japanese pop culture, even to this day.

This is really interesting as it interprets the movie as a tech-thriller. The "me" in the title could be a digital avatar, or an AI copy. The glitches, the repeating dialogue with slight changes each time, the feeling of being watched through a screen. And then the end where the main character deletes a file called "SELFARCHIVE". Does this mean that he is a created being who has chosen to delete himself because he is flawed, or is he a human being who has merged with an archive to gain a knowledge of self in a data sense? The sterile labs of the main setting are shown in a series of fast cuts at the end of the film, and so this interpretation of the movie turns it from a psychological thriller to a sci-fi horror movie about identity in a world of technology. Fascinating. It’s a wild interpretation but there’s some real visual backing for it.

I’ll call these theories out as they occur, but they mostly fall into one of three categories for Ada: 1) Double Agent (Umbrella/Tricell vs. unknown agency) 2) Independent Opportunist (protecting her own interests, secrets, etc.) 3) Tragic Romantic (actually cares for Leon but is hiding it as part of her mission). As for Leon, he is motivated by a combination of his Duty, Guilt and desire to save his people. So he is naturally at once extremely Suspicious and also extremely Forgiving of Ada.
Fans point out instances such as the handing of a cigarette from Leon to Ada, Leon’s quiet apologetic words to her, and the sliding of a zip disk into a console as evidence that Ada is more than a one Note spy. Personally I find it intriguing that none of the fan theories seem to fit perfectly and as a result there are many different interpretations in each replay of the scene with different shades of color. I enjoy the idea of her being redeemed in some scenes and then abandoning the sample to disappear forever leaving Leon to deal with the moral consequences in others.

There is no sense of landscape in this ending, which is telling. The desert has been nearly a character in this novel, and here it is not there. The human characters are trapped in this small box that they have created. The war against nature has been brought to an end, and the war against other humans, which the Judge admires so much, is going to become a never-ending, institutionalized form of conflict.
In evolutionary terms, this ending represents a shift from the gang as ‘shock troops’ that cleared the way, to the Judge in the saloon, now running the show, in ideological terms. In this ending, violence transfers from a wild and destructive state, to become more bureaucratic and social, yet no less deadly. In this ruthless transition from wild frontier chaos to civilization, the devil remains at large.

So many memes in the fandom confirm this for me, whether it be hilarious “I am shooketh” edits during dramatic Sokeefe moments, funny “they were roommates this whole time” jokes, or comparisons of the two characters’ growth side by side. The way that a particular ship can generate so much of internet culture to show its dominance of the story’s narrative is pretty clear. When a pairing has created so much funny and creative content about themselves, it is clear that the pair has captured the imaginations of everyone in the fandom. The jokes have to be true for them to be funny, and therefore prove the obvious point that the connection between Sokeefe is as clear to everyone reading the series as it is to the author. The meme ecosystem confirms for me how obvious Sokeefe is to the cultural reading of the series.

In books on chaos theory the butterfly effect is most often described by the term sensitivity to initial conditions. James Gleick’s Chaos is full of simple examples, like a dropped pin which can change the course of a billiard ball. He then explains how such events can occur in mathematics too and how they show up in all sorts of models that are used to predict things.
The butterfly effect can also be seen through the eyes of a more “lightweight” book, such as Nassim Taleb’s “The Black Swan” and how the butterfly effect can be linked to unexpected events in our world, like financial crashes. It shows how little things matter more than we think, and how hard it is to predict them. It is a good way to see the butterfly effect from a different perspective, not just science.

This is a gentle tragedy. They have had this togetherness but at what cost? Their whole adult life has been lived under the shadow of this one great passionate love of youth. And that must have stopped them from having a full and mature life with others. So even though the book ends on a beautiful note it acknowledges the great cost of this love. Firdaus’s marriage, Samir’s solitary life – these were not just plot devices. These were real lives. And in the end they both come to rest in the ruins of what might have been. It’s an anti-romance.
