No Game No Life (light novel)
| I don't know you guys, but it bothers me a lot. Not just the main characters, but even the supporting characters Is there a reason behind it? |
| maybe the author was lazy or maybe they want to illustrate that regardless of time period there will be men and women of the same kind in regards to out looks to life or something along that |
 |
| Because making new characters that look like the main characters are sooo cool. |
 |
| lazyness of course reusing character designs is the way to go when you can not be bothered to think of new ones to be fair i am expecting some bullshit in series reasoning |
| - These characters live in a different age and has no chance to exist simultaneously with our MCs. - Their story is told from imagination and memory (I guess by Steph). When you use your imagination, you take something as reference. It is extremely hard to create new facial features in your imagination. - They are MCs of this chapter so the person who tells the story bases them off the MCs. Combining these reasons, I don't see a problem them being alike to our MCs. |

| Sora and Shiro are the reincarnation of Riku and Shuvi. Riku offered his life to Tet when he asked for the chess piece at the end. Why did Tet bring Sora and Shiro back to the game world in the first place. Tet is the one true god and he knows. |

| There's no way that the characters are similar due to laziness, are you serious? Their personalities and beliefs are the same too! For instance, "we are ghosts" from the movie and "The Blank" from NGNL. Even the voice actors are the same, who goes to that extent? Obviously, they want you to see that Sora and Shiro are the reincarnations of Riku and Schwi.

| Tbh in LN if I remember well Izuna told to Tet that he lied , because Riku and Schuvi are too similar to Sora and Shiro , Tet told that it's obvious that he imagine tham as Sora and Shiro because they are really similar but not the reincarnation . Why Tet brang Sora and Shiro to his world ? It's pretty easy to make a theory , look in the movie he said that he got a draw for the first time , he is the God of the games so probably for these 6 thousands years no one beat him in chess , after losing against Sora and Shiro he just took them to his world cause they are humans and better than Riku and Schuvi :) ( ofc it's my theory so it's not the truth information ) |
| It is possible to lie though, Tet doesn't have to tell Izuna or Shiro and Sora the truth. It seems like they are reincarnations of eachother, though Shwi was a robot so its more like Shiro was designed to be like Shwi. |
 |
| They may not be reincarnations in canon, if that's what the LN implies, but I don't think Schwi being an artificial intelligence rules it out. If we're positing 1) A world governed by magic 2) Biological organisms have immortal souls which reincarnate 3) A mechanical organism can truly learn to love does it necessarily follow that 4) Mechanical organisms cannot have souls? Or is that just what our own culture's tradition tells us? "Number 5: those guys' rules mean nothing to us." NGNL is a highly romantic narrative. As in romanticism. |
| either lazyness or Sora is just a reincarnation of Riku. And also Shiro is a reincarnation of Schwi. |
| ^^ Yeah, Schwi also said "Next time, we'll never be apart" at the end. It sounds like where Tet was dishonest would be in how similar he depicted them, not in the obvious implication of their being older incarnations of the same people. Schwi developing a soul that can reincarnate in human form (albeit a kuudere) makes me think of Ghost in the Shell, where the equivalent of a soul is called a person's "ghost." Machines ("shells") normally don't have ghosts, unless a person's is transferred or copied ("dubbed") into them, but in at least one story an artificial intelligence had developed a ghost of its own. http://ghostintheshell.wikia.com/wiki/Ghosts_%26_Shells |
| Definetly reincarnations. It makes sense, and there are to many corelations: - Riku is losing all the time (and Schwi got defeated in battle), while Sora and Shiro - Blank never loses. So they are basically the reverse of the other. - Both Schwi and Riku talk about meeting a next time and winning the game... And Riku literaly tells Tet that next time when they meet, him and Schwi will definetly win. - Tet brings them in Disboard and seem totally convinced that they will make a change.... - There are other stuffs too: Steph is with them, she is the reincarnation of Corona Dola who was left without a family after Riku and Schwi died, and now has the chance to be with them once again. Jibril killed Schwi and now she serves Shiro as her slave. So, there is lot of symbolism. Later in the novel an Ex-Machina will even appear and analyze Sora to see if he is ''their beloved one.'' |

| I think Sora and Shiro is their son and daughter... [ofc its not] |
 |
| i originally thought it was because tet was telling it,but after thinking about it i fully believe that they are reincarnations of the original group. like @kronopy said,there are way too many similarities and fitting fates. |

| wow everyone thinks so simple here... what if it is all some foreshadowing or some mindblowing plot |
 plz @ me |
| Because right before Riku died he said to tet "Hey, let's play another game. This time I'll show you that we can win. Schwi and I. Count on it" And what do you know then Sora and Shiro came to do exactly that. So coincidence that they are similar? I think not. There's a probability that theres more to it ;) |
plz @ me |
| Why are so many people questioning this? I see a few who put reincarnation and I believe this to be the reason. Tet didn't want a draw and Riku asked to play again, so he took their reincarnations from another world. |

| Saying the author is ‘lazy’ is pretty dumb. He has created a ton more unique characters than u guys could ever dream of writing. He is clearly a successful professional. There are clearly narrative reasons for the similarities. They could be re-incarnations. They could be tet embellishing. They could simply easier for readers to follow, relate to and root for, since the main characters don’t exist in the side story. Naruto also does the re-incarnations theme well, and a lot more than this story actually, with a cool narrative reason (Indra & Ashura of the ancient past infinitely fighting). So give no game no life a break. There could be a cool reason for this, or it could simply be a coincidence. Saying no 2 humans can ever be similar throughout history and even different worlds is pretty ridiculous. Whether you realize it or not, you are actually similar to many other people in beliefs, personality, looks, reactions, intelligence, etc. you are not really as unique as u may think. And anyway, the author has smartly left himself a lot of leeway here, as canonically tet admitted to adding more drama as he is the storyteller. This alone could mean a lot of things. Not to mention that actual flaws or oversights are not usually mentioned in the author’s work itself. Izuna’s questioning the similarities also tells u the writer knows what he is doing; you are basically izuna here, so u’d be wise to listen to tet’s answer (as written in the light novel & other replies, plus me of course). |
