WMG / Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?

Mamako was a teen mother

• Given her youthful appearance not only in-game, but before arriving there, perhaps she was very young when Masato was born. If she had him at 18, and he is 15, she would be only 33 years old. It's possible (but not likely) she might have been even younger.

Mamako is not "The Hero", but actually the main "Antagonist" of the series.

The Final Boss in fact,(for Masato, that is), as the game itself is designed with "dysfunctional households" in mind and even if it is on the opposite side of the gray spectrum, Mamako's relationship with Masato is just as harmful and abusive as any other beta-player's are with their mothers. Her being overpowered from the get-go is in line with other "bosses"(other mothers) who also are overpowered in one way or another similar to her. The only reason she appears as an "angel" to the others as "demons", is that she clings to Masato (The "Protagonist") the majority of the time, making her "good" by association.

Even so, at one point, in order to escape the game, Masato will eventually have to grow a backbone and face her for real, in order to gain his own independence as an individual in the process.

Porta is Shirase's daughter

Shirase had Porta accompany the party to help things go over smoothly, it's why she always has something useful on hand for every situation and why Porta's mom hasn't been seen or hasn't been mentioned yet.

• Shirase does casual mention that she has daughter one of the times she is trolling Masato.
• This would also save a lot on baby sitting fees not to mention letting Shirase spent some time with her daughter even at work!
• This may be jossed now since Porta's real name has been revealed. Also its heavily hinted at in LN#5 that Porta is somehow related to the Libere Rebellion in that the Fearless Leader of said rebellion demands their followers protect Porta. Porta's real name is Moeko Hotta.

Mamako is Masato's biological mother

Mamako is Masato's biological Mother... No Adopted and No step Mom. She is real Mother to Masato..Plus,In Vol. 1 states that his father never remarried and she's been the only mom he's ever known. Is very Obviously Masato has features like his mother such as his hair color like his mother and the color and shape of his eyes just like his mother.In the LN, the Writer clearly says that Mamako once gave birth to Masato and gave him breast milk when he was still a child... In addition, when he was a child, Masato strongly drank his mother's milk for 3 years old

Masato can become overpowered

In terms of game mechanics, Masato is a character who has horrible base power, but extremely high growth potential, while Mamako has comically high base power but less room for growth (yes, even with all her insane skills). The entire key to his power is based on how close he is to his mother; The better his relationship with her gets, the stronger he'll become. After all, what parent doesn't want to see their child grow up to do even better than they did?

Masato is his own father

He will travel back in time after he falls in love with Mamako, and father himself before returning to the present. That's why we haven't seen the father/husband yet.

Porta isn't the child of her pair

This may yet be the case due to her vague responses of her background, and of the outcome of the trap in the final episode from her perspective when asked by Masato. She also seems a bit too aware of all the mother movesets Mamako uses.

Shirase is a relative of Moriko Morioka

They look pretty much the same and Satomi Arai even narrated at one point

Porta entered the game with her father.

Porta's mother is unavailable (probably due to some suitably angsty and sad reason) and so Porta's father came in the game with her. Porta may be too embarrassed to admit this or has been asked by Shirase not to let anyone know that fathers could play too.

It was laundry day when they went into the game.

Why else would a woman like mamako be wearing a thong unless it was the last thing she had to wear?

• Arguments include such fact as a lot of people choose to wear that kind of undergarment exclusively, and it’s not like anyone asked her.
• when looking for armor she also had no such issues with the idea of wearing what looked like the bikini equivalent to armor in public.

the moms in the game aren’t real.

• They’re just A.I. or NPCs designed to look and act like their actual moms, and the game is designed to help the kids specifically deal with their parents imperfections.
• It can be argued considering Masato got a head start in the game

Or he didn’t anticipate the gate to the game being opened again.

Potential “Bosses” the gang might face.

They already faced...

• a neglectful mom who joined the game just for her own enjoyment.
• a mom who cracks the whip on her kid.
• While they already faced arguably the worst parts in their first boss they might face specific issues.
• they have hinted to maybe a group of kids who ran away from their parents in the game. Maybe an inner struggle for Misato remembering that’s what he first tried.
• in an oddly specific example Maybe they meet a kid with a Cinderella complex who’s parents divorced on the account of an affair (one or both cheating on each other) and despite the step parent actually trying to bond with them in the game, the kid still hold a candle that their parents will get back together. But will have their eyes opened .
• Maybe they meet a boy crazy mom who forgot she was trying to find her child a father figure
