History Fridge / TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault

* Only some holes seem to go all the way through. Assuming the holes keep people magically alive during their [[IncrediblyLamePun hole stay]], then anybody with a blocked hole (such as [[spoiler:Nakagaki, unless he was just at the point when his body would have to stretch]]) would end up spending ''eternity''[[note]]or until somebody dug them out[[/note]] stuck in one spot and ''alive''. And, judging from the researcher near the end who comments on the fault on the other side of the mountain being much smaller than the entrance fault, this likely happened to most of the people who went in.

** As it was revealed in his dream: [[spoiler:"The walls were carved in a way that kept you from retreating."]]. So don't worry, you aren't going back to normal.

!! FridgeLogic:
* Everyone would have died of starvation or dehydration long before they reached the [[spoiler:start of the stretching part]], much less the end of the hole... unless AWizardDidIt, which would also explain how could somebody carve the holes to start.
* AWizardDidIt would also explain how they [[spoiler:could stretch so thin in the first place. Bones don't squish or stretch.]] However, this may be why Nakagaki [[spoiler:got stuck]]: he was one of the unlucky (or is that lucky?) ones for whom the magic didn't work.
** It might be worse for him: [[spoiler:what if you have to force every single step once you start to get stretched?]]
* It doesn't seem like there's anything preventing people from just moving their arms forward, since most people's arms get narrower as they get further from the shoulder. Even if the holes really are carved ''that perfectly'' to people's body sizes, the body is flexible enough that you should be able to pull out your arms. After that, you might be able to get out your legs, and from there, all it would really take is turning yourself around. Of course, most people were likely too rapt by the holes to consider doing this, but someone like Nakagaki probably doesn't want to be there anymore. Getting your head out would be difficult, but maybe it wouldn't be as bad if you could at least move your arms around a little...
** The narration during the second dream did state that the holes were somehow made that it was impossible to go back to the entrance. How this worked, exactly, wasn't explained, but presumably it kept the people in the holes from walking backwards or turning around to get out.
*** Yet the miner who went in to try and get Nakagaki out was able to go inside and come out when he wasn't able to find him.
**** It's possible that it only works that way for your own hole- since it wasn't the miner's hole, he could get out.
* I realize this isn't what horror is about, but exactly what good does it do anyone or anything for noodle people to exist?
** As mentioned previously they were created by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Paleolithic Japanese Paleolithic]] as a [[FateWorseThanDeath punishment]] for a "horrible crime."
* The geological structure presented is a fault. It's a location where the rock has separated along a plane, one side pushing up to give a smooth surface. The fault occurred recently. So logically, there would be a rock facing underground that would have lined up perfectly with the exposed face before it split. If the holes aren't man made, it stands to reason they continue underground along the original whole volume into who knows what shape. Perhaps a shape men once held.
* Once it became obvious that people were actually entering the holes, why didn't the authorities cordon off the area and seal the openings up with concrete? Yes, the site's of archaeological interest, but it's not worth people's ''lives'' to investigate.
** It seems like whatever force is behind the holes in the fault line is intelligent and malign. If it's able to force people to go into the holes in the first place, then it can probably get the people who should be guarding it to continue allowing access, however reluctantly. The rescuer who enters Nakagaki's hole has to leave after going in five meters, where it doesn't seem like Nakagaki runs into anything significantly different than his normal body shape until he's several hundred meters in. Whatever controls the fault doesn't want anyone to stop what it's doing.
