Mysteries and riddles -2

After 18 french volumes a huge update about series's mysteries was to be done

Here is the second page dedicated to all the m=riddles of 20thCB, only for those who read all the volumes and who do not need to know any more what happend in the biology room in 1971 or who is Friend

1 - Is Friend really dead ?

2- Do Events which are inside Friendland simulator are true?

3 - How Friend could know so many things about our friends' past

4  -What's the difference between the Holy Mother (mère sacrée) and the Holy Sea (mer sacrée)?

5 - Until where will Urasawa take us along?

1 - Is Friend really dead ?

well it's necessary to believe that not considering you see him appearing in volume 14!!

 Me what I believe the one who died shoot dead by Yamane can only be an impostor or a species of lining and the true Friend is somewhere still there, ready to make its come back!

Or then he's really dead, but in this case who is the person that we see in the simulator and who is in the office of Manjume?

Urasawa delivers us  something  that makes us scratch our head during a long a time, or simply until  the exit of new volumes!! Because in volume 18 Manjume tells us something incredible about Friend

2-  Do Events which are inside Friendland simulator are true?

Indeed what proves to us that reality is seen? After all  these events are inside the program of a simulator, who can tell if what we see is not completely fake?

 If it's Ami, who created this system we must be very mistrustful,

 the proof it is that Koizumi sees differences between these two passages in 1971, same thing for Manjume he notes with horror that it is in the true year 1971, and that he should not be authorised to see all that

3 - How Friend could know so many things about our friends' past

I find rather equivocal that in the simulator lies memories which do not belong to Friend, how can he knows what Yoshitsune did during the summer 1971 whereas himself was unable to remember it? How arrives we can  follow Donkey before his entry in the room of biology whereas Ami, Yamane and Sadakyo were them even in this room (and that thus they could not tell him)

Well it's not very clear

4 - What's the difference between the Holy Mother (mère sacrée) and the Holy Sea (mer sacrée)?

Be carefull, this question deals with the french translation of a part of the second prediction notebook, I'm not really sure that in english It goes the same way

Apparently there is a difference between the two, when you to follow the discussion between Manjume and Takamatsu

 Well we are sure the Holy Mother, is the mother of Kanna, the sister of Kenji, no more doubt about it for a certain time. Me I was persuaded that it was a mistake in interpretation of the new book of prediction, (remember the number 13) and that we won't see the Holy Sea any more.

And of course each time I make a prediction about 20thCB I go wrong!!  I wonder also what that gives in thze original version, because here in France there is only one letter of difference but in Japanese does that give the same thing??

5 - Until where will Urasawa take us along?

And yes  what will occurs in this series??

 Me I was persuaded a very long time that once that we will know the identity of Friend the manga will end.

 how many among us, readers, thought that Urasawa would kill Friend in volume 12?? frankly ?? it was very dared to do that, you does not kill one of the principal characters of a series by hazard

 I never really think on the way in which all that was going to finish, but more it goes on more I wonder how all this can end

 Urasawa is clever enough not to make us wait too long time to know the solutions to the enigmas which he poses himself in the series. And if we must await a great number of volume for the knowledge and he arranged to make us a  forget this problem for a while and make that our attention goes elsewhere on another mystery or event.

 For example you do not find that for a long time we know nothing about the arrival of the pope in Japan, of the expo of 2015,  about Kanna 's friend, the policeman, all that was occulted in a few seconds by the death of Friend and the revelation made on his identity. Urasawa get back on these characters in volumes 16-17-18 and in the end of the 18th we must again deal with  interrogations on the identity of Friend, whereas it was a very really credible information
