Without getting a direct answer, that will come into play her tactical use of portals.

If I had to make a bet, I’d bet on your theory over mine, but I guess we’ll see how things unfold.

Well it all depends in what you believe in. I myself don’t think any of the prison scene is real – it may allude to some things, just as any magical scene does, but generally there’s no goat men, no magic mirror, etc.

They haven’t really emphasized the time difference in the anime much, so I haven’t thought about it too much. But from what I’ve read (the 10 minute time difference you mention), I’ve been thinking that they’re not imprisoned in the Kuwadorian, but somewhere else closer to the mansion.

I don’t know if the prison scenes themselves are fake, but I am skeptical about whether or not Gaap, the goatmen and Virgilia exist in the scene. Or if they’re perhaps things that Kanon and Shannon might see, but the others don’t. I’ll have to go back and rewatch the couple scenes, but I don’t recall there being much interaction between the imprisoned with the demons, just Kinzo.

Heh, it was more like sideskirt Gaap shots. :p

I’d be shocked if George had any part of this, but crazier things have happened.

I think the most obvious response would be there is no ~~spoon~~ portal. :party:

I don't get why Gaap stopped using her portals against George in the middle of the fight and just kept spinning around? She could have just dropped George from like 12 ft from the air; probably not enough to kill, but more than enough to hurt. .-= TJ´s last blog ..To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 10 =-.

UPSKIRT GAAP SHOTS

Ahem, anyway, It’s George’s choice that really makes me wanna pin him as the culprit if said fantasy event didn’t happen… >_>

Well as far as them being locked up there is a matter of time: in the game Kyrie checks her watch and then asks the people in the guest house to check their watches (to make sure her watch wasn’t changed). According to the time from when they were in the conference to being in the prison it’s only about a ten minute time difference. But the Kuwadorian is at least a 2 kilometer walk from the main mansion – roughly a little over a mile. To carry all 5 bodies to a prison in the Kuwadorian in ten minutes, factoring in the forest terrain they have to go through, sounds unreasonable. And there’s no way they could have just dropped down into the prison, because the buildings are two completely different places.

The fact that everyone in the prison sees Ronove, Virgilia, Gaap and Goat Men leads to one conclusion in my opinion: The prison scenes we see are fake.
