In _Cage of Eden_ , near the end, instead of plane crash in the beginning, we
learn that the students

> did not crash on an uninhabited island but went into the future. It isn't
> clear how they actually get to this _future_.

I am not sure if I just missed the part where they explained a bit how they
got there or if it is just not properly explained.

How did the events at the end of _Cage of Eden_ occur?

When they describe the incident, it looks like a wormhole that caused a big
disruption in time.

So I heard this from a friend. This is only a theory.

Since the kids are on an island with memorials of themselves, there is a
possibility of the entire cast not being the actual people themselves but
actually clones. With the technology of being able to bring back extinct
animals, they probably could also create clones of the deceased people using
their DNA.

Also, the mother spoke about the island being a paradise, but since the cast
is "dead", it could mean that they were planning on cloning the victims on the
island in the first place. The scientists hoped to make it paradise but with
their death and the help of the "terrorists", the extinct animals were able to
escape into the wild. =

This theory also has a lot of holes (the plane, age, etc.), but it is a pretty
satisfying theory in my opinion.

I'm still confused about what happened myself, but considering all the real-
world historical facts the talked about, like the limestone cave being like
Cappadocia, the disappearance of Eiken and the others at the Monument being
like the [Angikuni Village
Disappearance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angikuni_Lake), then the way they
were transported to the future could be the [Dragon's
Triangle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Sea).

The Dragon's Triangle is an area of ocean south of Japan that is like the
Bermuda Triangle. There are cases of boats of all sizes disappearing never to
be heard from. The Island that CoE takes place on is located in the Dragon's
Triangle, from what I could see from the map Mariya showed of where the plane
went down, so despite them not talking about it in the manga, that seems like
the most plausible reason for the time travel. Maybe Yoshinobu Yamada had
planed on that being the reason but was unable to fit it in for the same
reason the ending was so rushed.

They time travel when they are inside of the plane and they crashed on a
island in the future.Otherwise, the world what the world looks like now
wouldn't make any sense.

The main character's mother and other scientists who built the island built it
in the past. The graves are there because the adults thought that they died in
the crash and erected memorials to all the passengers who died.

I believe that the idea is that the plane inadvertently disappeared, which
caused Akira's mother to continue the Eden Project and eventually create Raika
Island, and that one of the company's directors, maybe Sengoku Frey, in a
last-ditch attempt to save her dream of the 'paradise' after the biohazard
disaster on the island, channelled the company's remaining funds into Time-
Travel research, which was completed and used to send the flight into the
future to 'save' them, but accidentally causing an infinite time loop in the
process.

It would fit, in my opinion, with Sengoku Frey's 'acceptance of Yuna's heart',
and would be the most probable theory.

Too bad that's how publishers go - cutting off a series' lifeline so they can
do other stories. Or perhaps, the author's idea was going to be much more
ambitious, but wasn't given the time to finish it.
