Albireo quit playing the game years ago, you saw a look alike.

Taihaku and Antares aren't returning characters.

I think when they were younger, they were in the same class together or something like that.

That was just a rumor. Although they're the same age, they never knew each other.

Mia the cat is an AIDA, and Mia from R:1 is technically Macha

Not really, Mia the cat in GU is an AIDA based on Endrance's memories from the Mia of IMOQ.

It does matter, because it proves how horribly assholish the AIDA are. The real Mia, if anything, is Endrance's Lost Weapon.

True Mia exists now within Endrance as his epitaph. She is Macha who lives within his pc body. The cat was nothing more than AIDA data in that form so it could manipulate Endrance even easier. After Haseo defeated Endrance that cat was destroyed we even see it turn into AIDA and engulf Endrance near the ending.

I thought the people working on project G.U. destroyed the A.I. Mia in order to extract the sixth phase to be converted into an Epitaph PC, as expained in the Terminal Disk.

They cannot completely destroy Mia since Mia was created by Macha as something to hide within and sleep.

You can't exactly say that with certainty, Wise.

Anyway, to address the question, all Amagi really did was tear Mia to shreds unceremoniously to get the toy inside, then deleted everything that was left, but we all know that deletion isn't necessarily the end of an AI. My personal theory? She's Macha's Lost Weapon.

You mean that sword "Tempting Rose"? or just Mia in general.
