Aside from the forced system–wide reset of the Loops the collapse triggered, even the divine operators of Yggdrasil have no memory of it beyond an almost completely corrupted file of the 'jumpstart' attempt with a fused Loop that ended in its destruction.

--->"Gilda, I'm an Anchor. Which means I've been awake for every single loop. Sure I've gotten powerful, but among Anchors and other long time loopers the truism is ‘with great power comes great insanity.’ I've been better than most, but even I've had moments where I slipped. You'll find this out yourself, but imagine everyone around you had a disease. They remember everything up to a certain day. After that, they can't keep a new memory past a full day. They just keep forgetting and reliving the same day, over and over again. Only you remember and grow. How long before you stopped seeing them as friends out of frustration? How many days till you stopped seeing them as people at all? How many weeks till you started meddling, manipulating them for what is 'best'? How many months till you started smashing them in frustration that they can't bucking remember anything?!"

As repairs to Yggdrasil continue, more people in each universe begin Looping as well; characters that are aware of the Loops and retain memories of their previous go-arounds are termed "Awake".

As repairs to Yggdrasil continue, more people in each universe begin Looping as well; characters well, but are not necessarily aware participants in every Loop; only the Anchor is so blessed. Characters that are aware of the Loops and retain memories of their previous go-arounds are termed "Awake".


Added DiffLines:

* DrowningMySorrows / INeedAFreakingDrink: To help cope with particularly unpleasant loop experiences, [=Awake!McIntosh=] usually sets up a bar where traumatized Loopers can start to decompress. Of course, it also serves as a general hangout for Loopers to compare notes and otherwise socialize.

Expanding on subspace pockets.


* {{Hammerspace}}

to:

* {{Hammerspace}}{{Hammerspace}}: Subspace Pockets. These are the only way Loopers can carry things over between the loops. The size of a Pocket is a function of power, how recently someone began looping, and to some extent authorial choice. (For example, Ichigo early in his Loops has space for either his Shinigami badge or Kon, but not both; conversely, Ranma, one of the oldest and most powerful Loopers, collects death stars.)

Awake!Spike also learns to control his age/size/power-level and can go Kaiju when he feels it to be appropriate.

** This applies doubly for Original Series and ZeXal loops, as Yugi and Yuma share the role of anchor with Atem and Astral respectively. This has been handwaved away by explaining that Atem is bound to Yugi, or whoever is taking his place in the loop if he is there but Yugi is not, and likewise with Astral to Yuma.
* InSpiteOfANail: More so than the other loops, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Anchros are hit by this quite a lot, as a lot of the time even if Yugi Motou was to change the main game to, say, chess, Duel Monsters would still be the game of choice in Yusei Fudo's time. See TheChosenMany above
