We're talking about concepts of EH.
I always assumed that El Hazard and Earth were two separate planets, and Creteria was El Hazard at some other point in time (past or future). But, it is interesting to think they they could all be the same place, at the same time in different dimensions (if you subscribe to the theory of an infinite number of different dimensions existing side by side at all times). If the latter were true though, why does the Eye of God exist on El Hazard and Creteria, but not Earth?
if Creteria was the future of El-Hazard, the gang probably would have found their own graves, or something.
Keep in mind the Eye of God from El-Hazard transported them to Creteria in the first place. It probably just took all of them and itself along. (Although there's pitfalls all about the Alternative World story and pictures and stuff... but I'm working the best I can here. )
Well, like I said before-- El-Hazard and Creteria could be "closer" in the multi-dimensional universe, than either of them are to Earth. Their proximity would make them more similar to each other, and their distance from Earth would make both of them more different from Earth.You could argue that it took more power (from Ifurita) to send Makoto from Earth to EH, and it took him longer to travel between dimensions (with the whole flash-forward sequence and all the celestial imagery).
In BTTF3, Doc Brown's grave was only found because of the dog. Otherwise Marty and 1955 Doc would've gone home and never even knew about it.
Speaking of Hand Maid May, feel free to post some screenshots of Kei any time you like.
