She won for THAT MOMENT.

Nigga we far in the future, who knows who TRULY won.
>>
>>159681190
What the actual fuck. I haven't read much of UQ but I don't remember them having much chemestry way back when.
>>
Well, not really.
>>
>>159681358
Reread it before reading all of uq last couple weeks. Their main development happens during magic world. Looking back on things it makes sense.

That said nee san Asuna is still best girl eternally
>>
>>159681190
I don't follow UQH, is this a Negima retcon or some shit?
>>
>>159681190
Picked up.
>>
>>159681358
She was his main confidant and source of advice for the vast majority of the magic world arc.
>>
>>159681358
I thought it was ridiculous while reading Negima, but it makes a lot of sense in hindsight.
I'd almost call it well done.
>>
>>159681527
It's set in the future of the same universe and refers to Negima so damn much it's only borderline wrong to call it a sequel.
>>
>>159681527
It's set in the alternate timeline that Asuna woke up in in the future, before she gets whisked back to the Negima ending timeline.
>>
>>159681255
It's still going to be her. Unlike everyone else, she was the only one to actually give their supposed relationship any real thought. Everyone else was too focused on the confession itself to actually think about what happens if they had hooked up with him. Watch, after everything is said and done, he's going to confess to her exactly the same way but older, and she'll accept it this time around.

>>
>>159681796
Because he's a hack.
>>
>>159681704
I've been wondering for a while how that's going to turn out.

Will there be no Asuna at all in this timeline after she leaves? That would be really strange.
On the other hand at least she gets her happy ending and doesn't have to stay in this shithole of a timeline.
>>
So Chisame won in the end? I don't read this but I'm glad that was finally cleared up after like 10 years or something.

I can be satisified with that, Chisame was great.
>>
>>159681190
Because she's basically a naru clone and ken has a thing for violent tsunderes.
>>
>>159681973
Negi confesses to her, but she rejects him since he is 11. She then says come back in five years, which is where the current chapter ends.
>>
>>159681858
Well go read it. Its time for a healthy reread.
>>
>>159682115
Somehow I don't think it's gonna work out well then, but who knows.
>>
>>159682102
Thats a great way to simplify her character and ignore anything else in there personality. The more you people call her a naru clone the less I can see it

never got that far, I got to the point in the Magic World arc where Negi catfishes Short hair small tits "i'm not the main character" character with Negi's alter ego, Rico Suave.

I feel that "high levels being identical" really makes Wizardry and Magic less special. Like, in FMA all the science wizards had a fairly unique style, in Negi it felt like everything was a variation of Magic Missile and enchant weapon.

If bet if they hadn't come in she might have taken it back and accepted out of guilt. When she first turned around it seemed as if she was hoping for him to follow after her.
>>
>>159681358
She got the lead near the end of the school fest arc, early magic world arc was literally all Chisame and Chachamaru, where Chisame rose to the partner in crime status, and never went down.

She and Chachamaru were almost Negi's right and left hand for a good chunk of the series, and even in one ending you can see that Chachamaru and Chisame are still with Negi.

Nodoka was being set up as a love interest and would have been a perfect match for Negi.

Fucking nip monkey shit I will always be mad.

Chisame made the right decision in hindsight. That said, still sucks hard. Also, Yuuna and the cheerleaders really pounced on Negi fast.

Chisame is a way better character than Naru, the "violence" is played off in a much different manner and her personality when it comes down to it past the tsundere is pretty different, or at least far more developed.

That said loving all the girls in the series there's no way to win because there's still all the losers you came to really like.
>>

It was pretty ambiguous whether it'd be her or Nodoka, or maybe Asuna through some Akamatsu bullshit. But I don't think anyone is really surprised that he picked Chisame. Negi's harem was gargantuan but he only had romantic interest in very few of the girls.
>>
>>159689633
It was under my nose but I just didn't realize it this whole time. As an Asunafag I understood that she took the role of best big sister long ago but I didn't think about all of the time negi and chisame were together during magic world.

>everything that's not Chisamefaggotry is /v/!
Trying too hard to fit in. We can tell you weren't on /a/ during Negima. Most people rooted for Nodoka, Yue or Eva, while finding Asuna to be pure cancer and Chisame tolerable only because she seemed to have zero chance of winning.
>>
>>159691591
The main girl is his aunt.

Chisame was his backbone for the part of the series with most of his growth. It makes perfect sense. He needs a girl like Chisame to keep him in line and perspective.
>>
CHISAME A SHIT

A SHIT
>>
>>159692002
Well, yes. Chances are you're just a Chisamefag falseflagging to make bogeyman accusations, though.
>>
>>159691893
>The main girl is his aunt.

No she isn't. Enough of this.
>>
>>159691878
I was on /a/ at the time and I know that most people were into yue, nodoka or eva, but I wasn't up to date for a large part of things since I just hadn't read magic world yet for ages at the time but responding to something by completely disregarding their statement and going off on a tangent makes me think of how that cesspool is.

So it comes down to the fact that calling chisame the equivalent of an asspull says you didn't really read the series and completely ignored the development that hapened during some of the most important times in negis life in the magic world.
>>
>>159692114
>suddenly getting screentime during the last arc means she's more important than characters who have been main contenders since the very beginning
No.
>>
>>159691591
The rich girls literally never win. The more money they have the more they are doomed.

Chisame was not really a bizarre choice. She was at least well-developed and in the plot. I think the most reasonable choices from Negi's perspective, based on what development we had before the series abruptly ended, were a Nodoka and Ayase pair (one comes with the other, no choice), Evangeline, or Chisame.

The thing about Ayase and Nodoka is that they were the ones who liked Negi the most from their own perspective, at least based on the last rankings I am aware of. Was there ever some kind of definitive end of Negima chart on affection? I don't think the last ones really covered magic world adequately.
>>
>>159691716
If you dropped it before the Dana arc then yes I would say it's worth rereading. If you dropped it in the Dana arc there's probably no hope for you.
>>
>>159692206
>being there and suporting the main character during the last arc which HAPPENED TO INCLUDE HIS MOST INTENSE STRUGGLE IN THE SERIES
it left a mark on negi which developed into his first love. I'm not a chisame-fag but looking back on it I understand how and why it happened and it's not unreasonable by any stretch. especially considering the last arc was the longest arc and he multiple times asked for her suport.
>>
>>159692300
I think what bothers a lot of people in part (me included) is the magic world arc was really only the final arc in the sense that Akamatsu had a fit and finished the story more or less midway through. There were a lot of important characters completely absent during it like Ayaka and Evangeline that it's hard not to think would have been important in the final arc. Instead they were absent for the majority of the manga.
>>
>>159692543
Blame Kodansha for trying to make manga copyrights like American comics.
>>
>>159692543
Technically, we did have Scroll Evangeline around, even if it wasn't exactly the same as the real thing.
>>
You guys don't seem to understand. It's not even Chisame screentime which got her the win, it's the fact that she understood him and was rather reasonable, Rakan said the same. Almost all of Negi's girls are too into him and rarely find the good words to nominate him, it's a quality she shared with Asuna and can be seen even in this chapter. Sister zoning is the only reason Asuna was not a contender.
>>
Who'd asuna fuck if she got sisterzoned in this timeline too?
>>
>>159692543
thats completely fair, again I'm not someone who was rooting for chisame specificially as I liked the whole cast so I'm just taking it as it comes but really I wish we had gotten the whole unfiltered "original plan". that said there is sense to why the chisame business happened
>>
>>159692569
Fair enough, but Akamatsu still I think had an extreme reaction and killed his series.

>>159692576
My personal suspicion with this is the magic world arc went on much longer than intended and he brought back Evangeline so we didn't forget about her entirely. Had he done it over, I expect more of the class would have come along to avoid that problem.

>>159692688
It probably did, to be honest. Weren't there at least 2 other arcs that were planned, but got dropped? I know there was something about Venus and the demon world. It's a real fucking shame, because Negima has some amazingly world building in a lot of places, but there were also a lot of things with the groundwork set up, but never got realized.

I mean, hell. We now have apparent ruins on the Asteroid belt now, possibly related to The Lifemaker. Who knows how much of the solar system had something mystical going on about it.
>>
>>159692543
Introducing a too large cast always causes this. Actually I would say plenty of Negima girls were shoehorned in this arc and they got an insane amount of plot armor.

>>
>>159692776
I think he said something at one point about the magic world being most of the way through the story, but I also believe that was near the end and we might not have gotten the original truth. My personal feeling is that the magic world arc should have cut a lot of the training and been a good deal shorter while addressing the major plot developments relating to the Lifemaker. After that do an arc on Earth and build up the characters who didn't get built up in the magic world arc, do some adventuring in magic ruins, etc. Finally do an arc related to ultimate confrontation with Lifemaker that seems to be a lot of what we are getting now.

>>159692790
That's certainly true, though ultimately a lot of the girls were not really too terribly relevant and were always going to be background characters. Ayaka definitely should not have fallen into this category though.

>>159690733

>>
>>159693144
Shinobu was never in the running and existed mostly to be a foil to Naru. You had to be delusional to not know Naru was going to win from the get go. Nodoka was one of the initial main characters and the only one really seriously promoted as a love interest for quite a while in Negima. I'm not saying it's unreasonable it ended as it did, but there is a pretty big gap there. Nodoka would have probably won decisively if she had succeeded in not having her pactio ruined at the start and been the initial partner too.

Wasn't it Shinobufags just now? Seems like you're moving your bogeyman goalposts.

Chisame makes sense. She's the most level-headed, normal girl out of 3-A. The others are either too not-human or too hyper for Negi. He likes serious girls.

That said, Chisame is best girl. And she should've accepted that she won. But knowing what manga this is, Negi most likely gets fucked up by the Lifemaker before he gets another chance to confess to Chisame or whoever else again.

I still think Kirie is related to Chisame somehow, they seem similar and Kirie mentioned Rakan at one point but he could just be a famous dude.
>>
>>159696049
Kirie came from a shit family and its confirmed that Chisame became a hikki and cat lady.
>>
>>159696049
>Negi most likely gets fucked up by the Lifemaker before he gets another chance to confess to Chisame or whoever else again

This is still the "perfect ending" timeline, so it's very likely that we'll be getting the perfect victory where Negi saves his father and then confesses to Chisame.
>>
>>159693234
It started as a brand new series, but now it's solving Negima's plot and showing Negima's final fight and his love during the timeskip in another timeline. You should read it if you hate the old ending.
>>
>>159696068
It was a pretty obvious connection, to be fair.

>>159696104
Oh right, I forgot about that somehow. Chisame probably comes and snaps Negi out of some Lifemaker-enduced trance/possession thing and then he manages to win.
>>
>>159681190
>Nodoka and Yue lost for this
>>
>>159696049
They are watching the third timeline, the good end to Negima created by Asuna traveling back in time. Negi saves his father here thanks to Asuna, unlike in the Holder timeline.

Yes, Chisame probably never won the Negibowl after Negi grew up.

I never really shipped Hayate with anyone, I was just there for the ridiculous fourth wall breaking jokes.

He revealed it afterwards when talking about his planned Maria arc. There are also some extra pages about Maria in the final tankoubon where she visits the mansion and ultimately goes to see Hayate and Nagi. You know, stuff that should have been in the ending already.

>>159681614

Even then why did it have to be one of the girls with pactio or any that went to MW? Why couldn't it have been the cook, ghost or someone else who was sidelined 90% of the time?

Yue and nodoka loose on that front because one is basically MIA for MW so the romance slows, there's still a clear crush but they don't get as much screen time as they did during MW as they had in the first 30% of the series.

I think it came down to yue/nodoka, chisame/robot and completely insane wild cards could be asuna/eva. The latter two had mentor/sister already and most other girls were in the 'tease' bracket, not the 'I want to fuck negi' bracket, ayaka? (rich one) and the one that wanted to fuck adult mode negi excluded.

The result is what some people wanted, it's just left open because he's fucking 11. What 11 year old outside of arranged marriage can commit, he's also immortal with no kids.

>>
>>159710928
Well, Ken wanted to do an action story from the beginning but the retards in charge wanted him to do another shitty harem because Love Hina was so popular.

Ultimately it turned out to be the right thing to do, as Mahora was charming and necessary to get into the large cast. But he was always planning on shifting the story to the action stuff, even if the details clearly weren't planned out from the beginning.

For some reason he decided to do the same thing for Holder, even though it wasn't necessary and he could've just picked up the story shortly after where he left it off.
It doesn't work either, as Earth and Holder HQ don't have the same charm as Mahora and it was pretty dull until now where things are finally getting somewhere.

I don't even like the pairing but it's pretty obvious. Just like it was obvious that Yuzuki would win even after she got a new boyfriend and the MC started dating the tomboy.
It's obvious that the childhood friend will win Watari-kun even though he's currently dating fcup-chan too.
It was obvious Morgiana would get with Alibaba even though she got kissed by that other dude.
Chitoge was obvious too.

Why do people keep saying this shit like it's a fact and not an opinion? UQ Holder might not be as popular; in part because Ken waited way too long to release a proper sequel to Negima. I read Negima back when it was still being released and enjoyed it for what it was. I've enjoyed UQ Holder from the beginning for what it was. Both series had really rough starts. The cast of UQ Holder is absolutely fine and holds it's own. I actually enjoy Touta more as a protagonist than I did Negi. He's much more honest and less wimpy which is refreshing after Negi. They may have rebranded the series but I never really had an issue with what Akamatsu had been doing. My largest complain is that the pacing has been all over. Which I think was an issue with Negima as well. The beginning of Negima was slow and now going anywhere until the Festival arc.

Ultimately the only thing I care about right now is that Akamatsu has actually planned out how he is going to end this series. Hopefully we do not get a Negima ending all over again.

Probably.

Then again he might not need it anymore.
Magia Erebea was probably the worst thing to happen to this entire franchise and the increasing focus of it bodes ill for the future. It's essentially the Sharingan of Negima-Holder.
Not only is it so powerful that realistically no one should be able to beat him, ever, unless Negi is being a retard and uses it wrongly.
Yes Negi-Ialda, don't just lightning shundo behind her and instantly take Asuna out like Fate and Eva, instead fire magic at the anti-magic person. I'm sure that will work.

It's also very boring to watch, as every fight seems to boil down to super speed and throwing elemental weapon projectiles at each other.
Gone are actual magic spells and magical theory with entire pages of technobabble explaining them in the omake in early Negima.

>>159711631
The main reason I don't care for UQ Holder is that it completely changed some major plot points. For instance, all of a sudden Magia Erabia CAUSES immortality and was originally made by the MotB when in the original it was Evas original spell that would most likely just kill you if you weren't already immortal or special like Negi.

That one page doesn't confirm its magic, retard.
>>
>>159713348
No, the reason he managed to keep his mind intact despite demonic corruption of his soul was because of his lineage, not his survival itself.

Magia Erebea was basically turning Negi into a demon (the beast that he saw in the post-tournament training with scroll eva) the whole time, so we know he would become immortal from it if he didn't ever find a way to permanently suppress it (which he didn't).

Awakening as a mindless demon or just staying comatose forever, I should say.

It's by far the best arc. That Negi vs Rakan fight...

>Turning into a mindless demon isn't basically the same as physically dying.
I don't get this logic. Also that is an assumption at best when it clearly states he would have died. I was wrong about the Magie Erebea part though.
>>
>>159714312
It's basically the same as dying (hence why Alberio worded it that way), but Negi would PHYSICALLY still be there since he's the demon now.

Earlier in the arc during the actual fighting, Dynamis talked about Negi's coma some, and basically said implied that the possibilities for Negi were to wake up as a demon, or to stay in that coma forever (in addition to the holy-shit-he-took-a-third-option-because-he's-a-main-character path Negi managed).

He'd naturally be an expert on his master's techniques and demonic encroachment, so there's no reason to doubt him in terms of the normal outcomes of said damage to Negi's soul.
>>
>>159714183
Yes it's not definite. They even wonder if Negi will continue to grow at the end of Negima.
But Magic is certainly more likely.
The four-way scene between Fate, Negi, Eva and Touta would make little sense otherwise and I doubt even Ken would do something so nonsensical just for stupid nostalgia.

Ive already read Angel Densetsu but it kind of works since as the author said themself it gets to the point where the characters have this life of their own because they developed so much instead of being just archetypes. Thats what kills me when I see things like "generic tsundere" used in negima since the characters are so much more developed that you can say "that kind of response does make sense coming from her" instead of the endless back and forth with absolutely no development from your average harem.

It was clear Naru was going to win when Keitaro was going for her even when it seemed like Mutsumi was the promised girl.

Motoko's love felt tacked on since the Naru thing had already been settled by the time she became a rival. I mean, people accepted it because they liked her muh bushido attitude and she developed rather nicely, but it doesn't change how the manga was basically over and then we got an OH WAIT- moment with her.
>>
Chisame is a great choice. I think Ken navigated the shipping tree pretty well here, since Chisame was neither the first girl nor the "promised girl" who wins by default. But she also wasn't an arbitrary girl like Makie, with no development or shown chemistry at all. Nor was she the normal girl who wins because you don't want to piss off the fanbase (I'm looking at you, TWGOK). She had real competition with Chachamaru, Nodoka, Yue and Asuna and those girls just lost.

Saying she's a Naru clone is lazy because her personality is the opposite of Naru. The only similarity is looks, and Chisame hides her looks unlike anyone else in the class.

3 timelines.
1. Chao Bad end
2. Asuna Freeze Bad end
3. Asuna goes back in time Good end.

Chao has a bad end so she travels back to Negima timeline. After everything is resolved. Asuna needs to freeze herself and wakes up to a dead negi. This is the UQ Holder timeline Goes back in time, gets the Negima end timeline.
>>
>>159723437

Chachamaru, Eva, Asuna, Yue and Chisame were the clear final Five.

There's a lot of after-the-fact rationalization for why the other four didn't win, but there was enough development in story for them that no one would have objected.

The problem is fanbase size.

Asuna >Eva > Yue > Chachamaru > Chisame

Even if Asuna is the more groan-worthy ship, her fanbase is bigger since she' basically the series mascot. So naturally, there is a greater shitstorm with Chisame winning and a lot of bullshit shade thrown on her development.
>>
>>159724542
Asuna was out of the running like, halfway into the manga m8. Even moreso once it got revealed her and Negi were related.
>>
>>159724542
Yue was the best option, she was extremely popular, had development, wasn't one of the main girls she was a wired pick. Chisame is a good pick though, I like her.
>>
>>159724542
Chachamaru and Yue weren't serious contenders, they were only slightly above Ayaka, Ako, Ku Fei and Makie in terms of winning

Asuna lost early on when Chisame took over

Nodoka was Chisame's clear cut rival until Yue stepped in and they started pairing them together and she lost at the Festival

>>159724703
>Asuna was out of the running like, halfway into the manga m8.
>Even moreso once it got revealed her and Negi were related.

They're cousins at worst, which is not a barrier to a ship. And what you call "out of the running" is simply "wasn't in physical contact" because Asuna got most of the development for that half of the manga.

She's the first girl and the series mascot. It's stupid to deny that + her early series development.

>>159724716
>Chachamaru and Yue weren't serious contenders

This is what I'm talking about. Chachamaru had a clear rise in status from doll to human throughout the story and was with Negi all the time. Yue went from "not interested" to "willing to betray her friendship" and was also in close physical contact.

Nodoka didn't have nearly as much development as Yue despite being an early girl. Maybe because most of her personality is defined by her relationship with Yue and Negi. If you strip those away could you really call her much of a character?

And this is relevant because? every work of fiction has plot holes and inconsistencies, but as battle manga each and every one of those either contributed with establishing elements that enriched the genre, or simply executed their gimmick to a satisfactory degree. They're all better than Negima as battle manga, by the way.
>>
>>159725034

Also, why bring Kotaro of all people? He's completely useless. Bringing Kitty, Mana, Kaede, or Zazie would be 100000x more useful.

I think that even though she is the first girl, by Namek the series had been moving away from having Asuna as a real love interest and had moved her to really being Negi's big sister and confidant. They really didn't sell her as much as a lover like they tried to do early on.

Was re-reading Negima's last chapter which is part of the timeline of this UQ flashback and found something interesting.

Misora's epilogue says that Negi completed the assignment she gave him (that is, figuring out who he liked) on the day of their high school graduation, not middle school (which is his confession to Chisame).

These last two chapter was should've been how Negima have ended. The whole UQ holder side story is absolute trash.

then that means she was just his crush, not who he really liked fuck this shit just give people a answer
>>
>>159733437
It should've been the ultimate conclusion, sure, but it shouldn't have skipped to the end like that immediately.

The demon realm of venus etc. was clearly going to play an important role later, even in Negima when it wasn't as heavily foreshadowed as in Holder.
Side story or no, Negima would've, and should've, had several more arcs in-between regardless.

Not to mention with the way Holder seems to be setting things up Ialda might not even be the true antagonist of the entire story and never might have been. It's hard to say how long Negima would've run had it never been interrupted.

How so? The objective has been Ialda the whole time. Other than 'God' blessing Karin and the realm of immortal vampires who do literally nothing, I'm not sure what other threat would be there.

The interesting part of that last chapter, is that it heavily implies Negi was still single by that point, like how it says Makie was still gunning for Negi and etc.
And the big winner was Chachamaru, that even after all that, was still getting wind up everyday.

That was answered? He let him go. Negi damaged him enough to break his physical form, but demons like him can survive physical destruction. That's why he tried to goad Negi into using the spell that destroys souls, as it's the only way to permanently kill someone like them, but Negi refused to use it.

So wait Eve didn't win after all?

That's such bullshit I should have stopped paying attention to UQ Holder threads.
>>
>>159737631
Eva didn't like Negi that way
>>
>>159737647
That's not true though. She had a major crush on Negi ever since the end of their training, UQ pretty much confirmed it. She just couldn't act on anything since she needed to be the adult of the group.
>>
>>159736262
>If Chao is actually a descendant of Negi or a clone
That was never even a question during Negima. She had a family tree she was willing to share, so presumably it was normal enough until her generation.

Remember, in her timeline, she wasn't there at the festival to expose Negi to knowledge of the future. He wasn't originally going to visit magical mars to search for Nagi until after his teaching gig was up and he was older and more powerful. This means the gateports get blown up and he's stuck on Earth, sticking to the traditional white magic path with a pactio harem. You don't get Fate running Negi-Asuna genetic experiments in that timeline.
>>
>>159737872
Why's Eva such a slut?

>falls in love with Touta
>falls in love with Nagi to the point of childishly following him around
>falls in love with Negi
>>
>>159738568
That's something I've always wondered about. Why would Fate and Co blow up the gateports if Negi's group didn't go to Mundus Magicus? No Asuna, means they have issues conducting the ritual, as the magical world wasn't erased, it collapsed in Chao's timeline.
>>
>>159738632
she wants the harem route
>>
>>159737872
Nagi still had higher priority in the Eva crush order; she went sliding off with Chao to look for a free Nagi, not for a free Negi.

Presumably Touta isn't even on the list in that timeline. I think maybe Dana didn't intervene in that one, and only acted in this one because of the info from Chao. That makes UQH branch off right at the chapter where Dana grabbed him for training.
>>
>>159738632
The Springfields must all have a passive attractiveness aura activated at all times. It's the only explanation
>>
>>159738964
Touta existes in that timeline, as it's literally the UQ timeline. Eventually everyone dies except Kitty, which might include Touta, then Eva goes off to traverse timelines in search of a Nagi that likes her back.
Also, the anon only stated Eva was in love with Negi, which is true,

I know most people just brushed it off as the series went on but this was one of the things that bothered me the most in early Negima. I really wanted to know what was that spell all about.
>>
>>159739561
I thought what was said in the Negima Lexicon made it pretty clear

>Sufficiently powerful spiritual entities can survive physical death
>So they're normally sealed
>But spells exist which can completely destroy them
>That spell is one such
>Therefore, it destroy's the basis of the spiritual entities existence, their soul/spirit.

It's basically existence erasure. You cease to be.

Kind of like how Shinmei-ryu has a technique which directly slices the soul and is used for attacking people who've been possessed, to kill the demon, while not damaging the person being possessed.

>>159739058
>Also, the anon only stated Eva was in love with Negi, which is true
The chain of comments goes further back to someone being pissed Eva didn't win the Negibowl. That's why I brought up the end of Negima; it already shows Eva wouldn't win.

>>159739058
>Touta existes in that timeline, as it's literally the UQ timeline.
UQ literally branched off from that one due to Chao sending the message back.
I'm not saying Touta didn't exist in that version. I'm saying the retcon of Touta into Eva's past doesn't apply to the Negima ending. Touta's still adopted-son-zoned in that version.

And while we're at it, we already know the retcon doesn't guarantee Eva picking Touta over Negi, either. Negi's still alive and she's hesitating.
>>

>If Akamatsu sets the record straight with Holder, we can get an accurate to the series Mahou Sensei Negima! anime.

I believe Dana's rift is completely outside of time.
>>
>>159741695
Timeline A (Chao's original timeline): Negi and co. never uncover the truth about the Magic World (or uncover it too late). Due to unexplained circumstances, eventually the Magic World is displaced onto the surface of Mars, causing untold numbers of death and destruction. Chao is an eventual descendant of Negi, who inherits a magitech version of Magia Erebea. She travels back in time and splinters off into timeline B.

Timeline B (Negima and UQ Holder timeline): The Chao incident as well as her cryptic hints prepare Negi and co. so that they can uncover the Magic World's secret and act to prevent it before it is too late. Asuna goes to sleep to anchor the Magic World's foundation while Negi fixes it from the outside. Pretty much everything in Negima and UQ Holder is taking place in this timeline. At the very end of this timeline, Asuna wakes up after everyone is dead. Eva and Chao of this timeline take her back in time as a reward, splinters into timeline C.

Timeline C (Perfect happy ending timeline): The Negima epilogue and current UQ Holder flashback. Asuna going back in time effectively allows her to in two places at once. Sleeping Asuna (C) is fulfilling her role as an anchor, and time-travelling Asuna (C) can help solve all the problems involving the Lifemaker and etc.
