Then it's equally possible that Sora and Haseo AREN'T the same person. It requires all sorts of ridiculous twists and turns in .hack's internal logic and common sense.
Like I said, if there was proof of the fact that Sora and Haseo were the same, it'd be in the games, not a supplemental book.

As long as it's
possible, though, they're allowed to do it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't seem very likely, it's fiction. There's no real contradiction here, aside from his appearances in Unison (which doesn't quite seem to be canon) and Udeden (ok, this is a problem, but half the other people appearing at the end make no sense either). That might all be the work of Net Slum Sora, though...
Of all the new-name cameos, Yata is the only one who's specifically confirmed by the games. And even that is sorta subtle. The games are made so that anyone can enjoy them, and that's presumably why they didn't go into history too much. Moreover, if this is true, how the heck would that come into play in the games? Haseo
doesn't remember anything, and as plenty of people have pointed out, his personality is way too different for anyone to recognize him. There's no conceivable way they could work it in, except maybe as some sort of inner-mind reconciliation with his past self... Oh...
The amnesia thing is ridiculous, but not much more than half the other stuff in .hack... I mean, they
beat Cubia, all bets are off. This will never bother me more than Mireille.

Possibly something like that...

I'm sorry, but unless it's specifically stated in the game or a direct source (not some unreliable fanbook) that Haseo is Sora. I'm not going to believe it. There's a lot of crazy theories out there, but this one takes the cake.

a great big suicide cake....
It's not that I'm against Sora being Haseo *COUGH*, but I was all for having brand new characters in G.U.
Oh well, I'll just have to shut up and take it like a b****

I feel sorry for whoever is Gabi's patient.
*Gabi walks in* "I'M YOUR DOCTOR! : D!"
I hope Haseo isn't Sora as there are WAY too many old R:1 characters walking around now. They're like playing with their old friends without even realizing.
I'm just gonna wait for all the theories to stop, what's next? Atoli = Terajima Ryoko? I'm just gonna wait and see if any are confirmed before I go mental.

I understand what you mean, it's just. Sora = creepy little kid in SIGN that picked up older women, and I DO NOT want to think of Haseo having been like that. EVER. D: Besides, if Sora was into BT before, then why the hell would he call Pi an old hag? O_o
actually Sora targeted any female character in general. it wasn't that he was targeting older women. of course looking for information would be different. it doesn't matter who you are.
i don't understand why people are complaing about Haseo being Sora. it doesn't bother me honestly.

You have to remeber sora was a little abnoish kid back then he could have matuer after getting out of the coma it is possible but not likely
IF Atoli Was Terajima Ryoko I would drop tabby in a heartbeat to bad though Terajima Ryoko was 16 back in IMOQ so that would make her 23 during GU Atoli like what 15 now

¬_¬ I don't know how many times I've had to mention this but...
Sora didn't specialise in attacking women, that was just a joke made up by Bear. Sora's attack pattern was much more random, or he wouldn't have attacked Tsukasa, would he?

The source for this is confirmed to be
.hack//G.U. Vol.3 Aruku You Na Hayasa De - The Master Guide, if anyone cares. You can get it from
Amazon.

Well that was one interesting revelation. Does that book include what happens to the other characters like Blackrose and Orca?

No, but the .hack//G.U. Perfect Guidebook coming out March 22nd claims it will explain all the mysteries of all the characters and events. If anything does, that will...

Unison is canon unless you can prove to me it isn't.

Then why make the connection at all? It only causes problems and doesn't explain anything.

What's so ridiculous about beating Cubia?

Aside from all the plot points it butchers?

Blackrose's email makes it seem iffy, but that's all I've got...
AuraTwilight wrote:Then why make the connection at all? It only causes problems and doesn't explain anything.
I disagree that it causes problems, but I agree that there was zero reason to do it and it fits very, very awkwardly into the plot.

He's your shadow. You can't just beat up your shadow and make it go away. They pretty much threw out the golden rule of anti-existences.
AuraTwilight wrote:Aside from all the plot points it butchers?
Like what? There already
was a random Sora AI in the games, and memory loss is possible. It's hard to swallow, but actually less so than the Taihaku=Balmung thing, and no one had trouble with that... The personality difference is almost completely explained by the difference in being 10 years old and 17...

Well... no one said Cubia will re-appear...

For all we know, it's Haseo's special power as the "Terror of Death" or something.

Wow... Apocalypse must be coming because even AT is uncertain... but still, it´s the best theory about it so far.

Can't you all just wait until the game comes out?
Read a book or something.
Haseo isn't Sora.
Atoli isn't Shino
This should be called the "rumor" board because that is all that's here is rumors that are full of crap and people who think they can read japanese when they really can't! While also thinking that everyone else here can read japanses also. I mean I can, and I know that it doesn't say Haseo is Sora.

Poor AT. Always expected to be right.
Anyways...rawr but im nice wen im in bare form
Well, even if there's cliches, that's the only thing there is. The only way for something to be truly original is if it had nothing in it ever used before.
You see?
AuraTwilight shall never be wrong! It just will not happen! EVER!

it would be cool that Sora was Haseo.
