CLANNAD’s core world view, although the fantasy world does not have a big impact on the plot, it explains some things reasonably and creates a huge suspense in the early stages of the game to attract players [In the end, the author Only then did I realize that the connection between the fantasy world and the plot was not as close as imagined.

Keywords:
Fantasy world: The four-dimensional world looks the same as the three-dimensional world, but it will be affected by changes in the three-dimensional world to which it belongs. When the town loses love and longing, the fantasy world will become a lifeless desolation. The principle of its generation and operation The basis of physics is derived from the "Super Unification Theory" of the Ichinose couple.
Girl: Shio, it can be understood that she and Shio have the same soul.
The girl's light : The girl's wish was initially to save her mother, but as her experience in the fantasy world increased, she began to realize her responsibility and decided to stay so that all the lights in the fantasy world could get her own happiness (later wish). Different paths led to the same goal. Although the girl did not directly use her own power to save Nagisa, she finally achieved her goal with Tomoya's 13 light jade stones and the thoughts of the entire town.
The Doll's Light: The light of the doll is Tomoya's light. Since Tomoya knows that Nagisa cannot be resurrected, his only wish is to "be with his daughter forever". This is why the doll follows the girl in the fantasy world.
Tomoya’s Reincarnation: Tomoya must collect enough light jade to save his lover, but because the timelines of each light jade line overlap, Tomoya has to reincarnate. In the continuous reincarnation, Tomoya has lost a lot of money. Part of the memory of the last reincarnation, but a small part of the memory has been retained [for example: the plot of Tomoyo's line getting Misae Hikari, the plot of Tomoya using Mitsudama for Fuuko, Tomoya's impression of the content of Nagisa's play performed at the Founder's Festival] .
Fuuko’s reincarnation: Fuuko’s arrival in the fantasy world was purely an accident, but because Fuuko has been to the fantasy world, she and Tomoya also have memory fragments of the campus chapter. The author has always believed that Fuuko I like Tomoya in AS's Xi chapter.
Nagisa's reincarnation: Nagisa himself has never been to the fantasy world, so he will not have the memory of the campus chapter's reincarnation, but Nagisa, who gave Xi part of his soul, still shared part of the fantasy. The play was created because of the memory of the world.
Tiger cat and fantasy world: I personally think that whether the tiger cat has been to the fantasy world cannot be verified in the game. I personally prefer to think that it has been to the fantasy world, and In the same disembodied mental state (heart) as Fengzi.
Two Xi, unified soul: This is found in many animation game settings. A soul enters different universes due to historical changes. [Or called "parallel world"], although they are two different people, some of their wills are connected. For example, Xuanyuan Sword 4-Cang Zhitao [Did the author go too far...].
The development of the town [novel version plot]: Shio wants to go abroad. This paragraph implies that the bond between Shio in Nagisa TE and the girl in the fantasy world still exists, which represents the town's pursuit of a healthy development Efforts made on the path.
Conjectures about the correspondence between the fantasy world and the real world:
Light: We know that there are two kinds of light. Although their origins are different, their essence is Same as above.
1) The essence of light:
Aggregation of energy, which is the power of spirit, or "missing body". The size of the energy is related to the spirit of the individual. Determined by force (the power of love and longing). Generally speaking, people in the fantasy world only have one light because their "container" is small. No matter how many thoughts he/she has, no matter how deep his/her thoughts are, there will only be one light. There is a light; but the girl in the fantasy world is different. She has made a contract with the fantasy world. She is the fantasy world itself. Her "container" is much larger, so she has a lot of light.
2) The role of light:
A light is a force
It can trigger small miracles. If the miracle of resurrecting Nagisa is going to happen, a lot of light is needed. (One thing to note here is that Nagisa's resurrection is not because he regained power in the fantasy world, because after giving birth to Shi, Nagisa and Shi The contract in the fantasy world was passed on to Xi).
3) The relationship between lights (very important)
The origin of light is the power of the fantasy world, taking the girl as an example:< /p>
#The longings of people in the small town appear in the fantasy world and exist in the form of light, so the light in the fantasy world is the longings of the people in the small town.
#Generally speaking, A girl must use power to help these lights realize their wishes. The power the girl uses is her own "light" (which is also the power of the fantasy world), that is, her own "missing". The girl "gives her light to those in need" "is the specific form of "fulfilling their wishes" (in Misae's plot, the light in the arms of pseudo-Shima is this form). When the wishes of the people in the town are fulfilled, the love and longing contained in this wish will be transformed into The power of the fantasy world is supplemented by the power of the fantasy world.
#When people in the real world realize the wishes of people in the small town, because this helps the girl save power, the girl will use the savings Part of that power is given to the person who helps others in the form of "Light Jade" (this is one of Tomoya's theoretical basis for collecting light in the game), but due to the increasing number of "good Samaritans" in the town over the past few decades, There are fewer and fewer, as Yu Ji Ning said, the incidents of giving light jade in the fantasy world are becoming less and less.
4) Others:
In the real world, light and jade are presented at the same time. It is also the memory of the girl, because judging from the script of the fantasy world, the girl did not recall her wish at the beginning (that is, the wish to save her mother, Nagisa), so the light in the real world is the fragment of the girl's memory. Tomo also must collect them all The light of the girl reminds the girl of her life experiences.
Other image issues in the fantasy world:
Although the fantasy world exists objectively, everything Xi experienced in the fantasy world is indeed From a literary point of view, it coincides with her lifetime (this should be Ma Zhi's intention), so the fantasy world in the game and things related to Xi are all reflections of her lifetime. However, it should be noted that if it is only because of the imagery, If the fantasy world is regarded as the result of the creation of Xi's subjective consciousness (that is, the fantasy world is created by Xi) due to coincidence, then there will be many unexplainable problems. For example, if the ancient light helped people in the small town, if the fantasy world is believed to be created by Xi , then we have to deny the conclusion that the flowing light flying on the grassland is the longing of people in the small town. This is unacceptable to the author.
Robot: In the fantasy world, Shio felt the existence of Tomoya's "heart" and was moved by it. The body made for him.
There are two possibilities as to why Tomoya’s heart is a robot:
1) Because before Xi’s death, the small robot was the first one given to her by Tomoya. A gift, this memory is very deep, and Xiu in the fantasy world still has a certain impression.
2) Just the opposite of 1, because Xiu created the robot in the fantasy world, so in AS In the first episode, Xiao Xi chooses a small robot as a gift from his father during his trip. This reincarnated Xi is a different individual of the same soul, retaining a small amount of the memory of another individual in the fantasy world.
Failed Robot: Because Fuko had a great influence on Xi during his lifetime, Xi still has memories of the real world for Fuko. And this robot is a container prepared for Fuko's heart, but because Fuko and Tomoya's situations are different, in Fuko in the fantasy world retains the memory of the real world, but she is unwilling to stay, so the robot failed (thanks to CAT9874123 for your guess, I personally think it is very possible).
House: Symbolizes Xihe Tomoya's home (in an abstract sense, and has nothing to do with the Furukawa couple), Shio longs for such a home, and the home in the fantasy world is as deserted as when she was alive. This house was not built by a girl, so it can be speculated that the previous fantasy world The existence of at least one manager who exists in human form like a girl can also prove that the fantasy world has always existed from ancient times to the present.
Beast: A symbol that Ma Zhi clearly mentioned in VFB. The beast is Things created by humans are reflected in the fantasy world. Things created with love in the real world will become beasts with "hearts". For example, Nagisa's Dango doll (the one that brought the robot back to the girl, *** Three, the same number of dango dolls Nagisa owns), and Tomoya brought home a wooden starfish sculpture for his father (in the snow
The group of people who save people).
Grassland: The food of small beasts should refer to the natural resources used to make things in reality. The fantasy world becoming bare may be an allusion to human beings' treatment of natural resources in the real world. Destructive request.
The park in front of the house (broken swings and slides): This is the place that Xiu was most familiar with before he was alive. The park created by the girl and the doll in "Fantasy World 8" is Qiu Sheng and the child. The place where we play baseball.
Winter: a symbol of the decline of the fantasy world, and also a symbol of the scene when Xi died. This is due to the nearly complete integration of the fantasy world and Xi (that is, the impact of Xi's thoughts on fantasy The influence of the world is getting bigger and bigger). From the current point of view, the two winters mentioned in the game (one is at the beginning of the game, and the other is Fantasy World 12) should be the same [flashback]. Because Xi’s power is gradually exhausted , the fantasy world returns to winter, that is to say, the physical decline of the girl in the fantasy world is not because "winter erodes the girl's physical strength." as the doll guessed. On the contrary, it is because of the decline of the girl's physical strength that causes the winter in the fantasy world. Coming. It can be thought that when the power of the fantasy world is sufficient, the fantasy world should be like spring all year round.
Garbage: the remains of light. In the first half of the fantasy world, the little robot said "those garbage are like corpses", And we know that garbage is a container of light. Inferring from this, light is the material remains left behind after the spiritual part [light] of three-dimensional life comes to the fantasy world, which is basically equivalent to thinking that these garbage are human corpses.
Tree: The big tree that connects the real world and the fantasy world [the entrance to time and space...the tree on the title screen], the light jade obtained in reincarnation is stored under the tree.
------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Unofficial Q&A set
Q1, the conditions for entering the fantasy world are ......?
A1: The individual container must be small and have strong thoughts. The author borrows the concept of container from the explanation of
Q2, the process of entering the fantasy world is...?
A2: The soul breaks away from the body in the real world, and the remaining part becomes fantasy The garbage in the world, the pure spiritual part turns into light jade.
Q3, has Nagisa ever entered a fantasy world?
A3: Probably not, there are two possible arguments: one is Judging from Nagisa's psychological activities when he died, Nagisa's wish in the real world was basically fulfilled (there was no light on Nagisa's line from beginning to end), which did not meet the conditions for entering the fantasy world; secondly, although Nagisa concluded a contract with the fantasy world, But Nagisa was extremely weak when she gave birth, and she left all her remaining energy to Shio, and did not have the conditions to appear in the fantasy world in human form like Shio (the author strongly believes that only a girl with sufficient energy can maintain her human form).
Q4. In the novel version, it is said that "something similar happened to Nagisa when Shiro was a child: he suddenly disappeared and then appeared under the big tree." What is the connection with Nagisa TE in the game version? What is it specifically? ?
A4: The novel version is Ma Zhi’s completion of the game. Let’s talk about the speculation in detail. In fact, I think there are some contradictions:
AS third episode (the ending of Nagisa alive ) Xi disappeared, because the town has regained its vitality, Xi (I call the Xi in the fantasy world "the girl") must complete the ritual with the fantasy world.
↓
Xi is in Entering the fantasy world under the big tree (disappearance begins)
↓
Xi met a girl in the fantasy world, and the ceremony began [Author's note: This ceremony is to let each other's souls merge (the bodies are still separated) Yes, the girl still needs to continue to manage the fantasy world) and enjoy the memory. But it is just a speculation]
↓
The ceremony ended, and she returned to the tree in the real world and was blown away by Fengzi See. [There is also a problem here, because from the title screen after clearing the level, Fengzi should have seen a girl instead of Xiaoxi, but Fengzi said: I smelled a cute smell, so the author thinks that I returned to the real world and lay on the big tree The one below is Xi, in the title screen
The girl in the fantasy world is lying on the big tree on the other side of the fantasy world]
Q5, why did Nagisa not enter the fantasy world after his death, but Xi did and became the administrator after his death?
p>A5: When Nagisa died, he had given all his power to Xi. The author believes that Xi’s death was not passive, but active. When Xi received her father’s love, she felt that she should do something for her father. , and if this continues, her body will be dragged down by the fantasy world like her mother, so Xi sacrifices herself in the real world and enters the fantasy world in advance to find a way to solve the decline of the fantasy world and resurrect her mother.
Q6 , Regarding the age of the girl in the fantasy world, why is it older than when Xi died?
A6: The author believes that the girl lived in the fantasy world for a period of time, because Xi did not die normally in the real world. (As explained in Q5), the girl is like a comatose person, her body will grow.
Q7, Did Tomoya die in the real world before entering the fantasy world and becoming a doll?
< p>A7: No. It can be considered that Tomoya was still alive a few years after Xi's death. This period of time should be equal to "the difference between the age of the girl in the fantasy world and the age when Xi died", and Tomoya fell ill and fell into a coma due to extreme sadness. , or just enter the fantasy world while sleeping. The author believes that people who have died normally will not be resurrected even if the timeline is moved, and in the fantasy world, the girl also clearly stated that the doll exists in two worlds at the same time.Q8: When did Tomoye enter the fantasy world?
A8: He entered after Xi died. After entering, he existed in the form of light like other "missings" and could not be felt. Everything in the fantasy world, until the girl makes a body for him.
Q9, we know that the light in the real world is the girl’s wish, what is the role of this light?
A9: 1 A piece of light in the real world is a piece of girl's power. If a girl wants to help people fulfill their wishes, she must use her own power (that is, consume one light. If a big miracle must be achieved, then a lot of light is needed). When the fusion is completed At the same time, this is also the power of the fantasy world.
Q10, someone said, "Everything Xi experienced in the fantasy world is the epitome of her childhood. The fantasy world is a look back at what she experienced in the real world from Xi's perspective." "Everything" seems to be inconsistent with the above theory?
A10: But from another perspective, the fantasy world actually exists and develops objectively. The reason for this overlap is purely because Xi is in the fantasy world. The result of subjective initiative:
Doll: Made by Xi
Little beast: In addition to the little beasts of Tuanzi and Haixing, there are many other little beasts that exist in the fantasy world.
Park: It was built by Xi
House: This is open to debate. Personally, I think there were managers in the past. Since a park can be built in a fantasy world, it is also possible to build a house
p>
Winter: This is probably the least convincing image in my theory. I personally think there are several reasons why winter appears:
1) Ma Zhi is a normal person, he has never been to 4 Dimension, if you imagine a world that is desolate, you can only write the script as winter
2) Match the ending of the first episode of AS to heighten the atmosphere
Well...it seems a bit wrong to answer the question , I personally think this statement is very reasonable (this is also the basis for things in the fantasy world to find prototypes that correspond to reality), but this definitely does not mean that the current situation in the fantasy world is caused by Xi's consciousness (Xi's consciousness is only a kind of consciousness to the fantasy world) The influence is not a complete change. When the integration of the fantasy world is completed, this influence will become greater.) The objective existence of the fantasy world from ancient times is undeniable. The fantasy world can also be seen from the endless light jade on the grassland. It does not belong to Xi alone, but to everyone in the town, the only place they wish for.
Q11, Liang Yuan once said this in VFB: "(Fantasy World and Real World) Basically there is no clear difference between the two. It just means that we see things differently in our respective worlds.
"How do you understand?
A11: It's actually a vague statement... Liang Yuan didn't intend to explain it clearly at all...
< p> It is said that there is no clear difference between the two because the fantasy world and the real world exist in the same universe [different from the multiverse, the same universe means that the fantasy world and the real world are superimposed in time and space, but the fantasy world cannot be observed in the real world world], the real world is just a remnant of the timeline of the fantasy world [because the fantasy world is one dimension higher], and all things in the real world will appear in another form in the fantasy world [that is, the way to see things is different, that is In other words, it’s not that the “people” who see things are different, it’s just that the physical laws of the world have changed due to a higher dimension, resulting in changes in the way of seeing and the results of seeing.]This The animation expresses the feelings between families, and the origin of CLANNAD is the Celtic word for family
The girl is Tomoya’s daughter Shio
Death occurs, and in the game only Only by collecting 7 light jade can Nagisa be awakened at the moment of death. This is also the GOOD ENDING of AS
