this could happen either because the data storage in Giftias are designed to work for this long and it starts to break down (in today's terms, the drive starts to have bad sectors)

the storage can only be written once while the data fills it up at a steady pace over 81,920 hours, and after it's full the OS makes attempts at overwriting old data which isn't possible. With that said I would really like to see Tsukasa meeting the creator of the Giftias in a OVA or a sequel.įrom a technological point of view, the limit exists, as stated by one of the characters, as "Giftias aren't programmed to forget", meaning that following what Gorzius said previously, And I can keep supporting the giftia by lessening the chance of the bankruptcy of SAI.

I can have a much better chance in lobbying the government to accept Giftia as a sentient being and implement Android Protection Laws if they aren't a threat to the voters jobs. I can prevent Giftia from suffering a slow and painful death of obsolescence. So yeah, if I am the person designing the Giftia I might have intentionally put in the time-limit out of a cruel love. Lost of profit as planned obsolescence is what keeps SAI's Giftia business profitable and 9 years is already pretty generous considering that Giftia is essentially a special tech. So removing the limit may become a threat to social stability. It made owning a Giftia more akin to caring a dying relative than employing someone who is a threat to your jobs. With the handicapp, Giftias can't replace humans as effectively as they can and it also gives the humans a reason to sympathize with the Android. The removal of the time limit may be removing the only handicapp placed on the Android. Thus starting a pretty frustrating ethics debate about the Ship of Theseus. The Androids' hardware starts to become obsolete and fail and you have to exchange parts until the Android becomes arguably another Android. They might have the time limit to avoid a 3 very unpleasant outcomes: Is it Isla's consciousness spiritually returning back to her origin? The gestation time for a new human being. When Isla dies, her body is returned to the terminal station with a new soul. as in Shintoism and Ancient Greek belief. That's her soul along with all the other giftia souls that were retrieved making their underground journey to be washed of all it's previous suffering and then reincarnated as someone else. In the title opening, we see Isla in darkness along with many other people.
The words Tsukasa tells Isla before he gives her the kiss of death. However, since they have souls, they may one day be reunited with the ones they cherish. The giftias shortened lifespans cause the suffering of the humans who love them that are left behind to grieve. The takeaway is that the giftias have souls, consciousnesses. The overall message is a spiritual one, however.
In Plastic Memories, these are 2 central themes that are ever present. 9 is the number of eternal suffering in the occult, for it always returns to itself mathematically.
Numbers that the characters explicitly state.ĩ, or 九, pronounced ku, in Japanese is symbolically linked to 苦. 81920 hours equates to 9 years and 4 months.
