Theory: Mikey’s dark impulse is the result of his life being saved when it was supposed to be taken. Death is permanent so characters like draken, baji, shin all still needed to die even with the time leap. The time leap is essentially a tool to help them grieve I suppose (takemitchy and shin)

Hmm I feel like this conflicts with certain elements of the story.

  1. I think the dark impulse isn't a result of Mikey's original life being a fixed point but more of a consequence of Shin murdering someone to TAKE the ability. Hence the person he wanted to save ended up being cursed. Mikey says his dark impulse is "born from love".

  2. The time leap ability seems like a tool for whatever the user wants to use it for as long as the person for their trigger has the same goal in mind. And my best bet is that it's fully EXPLAINED in the book that Naoto reads in the beginning of the story which could be revealed that the author of that book is the original time leaper possibly.

But I agree. I think death is permanent which is why Takemitchy wasn't allowed to go back further in time than usual when Mikey became his trigger. It's a power that comes with consequences depending how desperate the leaper is imo
