Gaspar : The Guru of Time

[DarkGizmo]

Well it's wierd I jsut though about that, so it probably false.

When you go in the End of Time you see gaspar here, alone.
When you enter the first time, there are 3 gate the Geno dome 2300 AD, Medina villlage 1000 AD, 65,000,000,000 BC.

That means that Gaspar could have went to 1000 AD to get Melchior then go to 2300 AD to see Belthazar and do something together.

Why do he only stay there?

[Sentenal]

Eh... Good question.  Maybe he feels its his responsibly to stay there as a guide to time travelers?

[Lordchander]

he most likely just wanted to preserve time the way it is and guide Crono and gang when they arrive. Seeing as hes the Guru of Time, he would have some kind of power to see into the future. Like ever noticed that when Gaspar first arrived (Magus flashback scene), the Gates weren't there? Gaspar created them knowing well that Crono would come one day. He also created the Gate that led to 1999 AD, so he knew of Lavos too.

[Radical Dreamer]

He can observe the past, present and future of that specific universe.
In a away, he's a god like Spekkio - the god of war.

He won't leave the end of time because that's his residence which is beyond time. His destiny. His fate.

He guides Crono and the others in their quest (if you talk with him, he will give you "tips" regarding the past, present and future - meanning he's aware of everything which happens) and give them the 'Chrono Trigger' in order to save Crono.

He lives in the "end of time". In eternity.
The same place that the Frozen Place brought Serge and Kid to in 'Radical Dreamers'.

Time is not a factor there.
Actually, Gaspar probably doesn't even "feel" time.
Crono and the others might have gotten there right after he did, from his point of view (time is relative).

[Zatopek]

In a sense, you could say Gaspar guided most of the events of Trigger, much like Belthasar is the mastermind behind the plot of Chrono Cross.  When will Melchior get his turn?

Hmmmm, maybe, if Chrono Break ever does come into existence, it will be the final episode in the trilogy, with Melchior (Guru of Life/Wisdom) finally healing the universe after it's been warped, rewritten, and splintered who knows how many times.  It would be appropriate for the Guru of Life to finish out the story, finally bringing healing to the world.

Yes he did.
But only guidence. He had no control over the events.

Easy Answer: Because he can't.

No Time Key=No Time Travel

[Sentenal]

He also stated that there were alot more people were popping in and out of the End of Time.  The gate key was not required to use those portals at the end of time.

[V_Translanka]

Well, ok...I guess not, since in at least one of the endings they each take different portals, yeah? Alright then, that I understand...But He still would be stuck in w/e portal he chose...And at the most, only one portal was probably there, yeah? Since Crono & Co open all of the portals two at a time when they travel from the gates...

[Salvadeiro]

I think that if Gaspar left, the end of time would collapse into nothingness and it would be all his fault because he knew it was his sworn duty to protect the end of time.  Like Sailor Pluto, if she left the time gate, then she would die.

[DarkGizmo]

actually when Crono and co. first enter the EoT there are 3 portal the one in Geno dome, the one to 65,000,000,000 BC and to median village in 1000 ad

[Salvadeiro]

You mean Proto Dome, they didnt enter the Geno dome until later.

[V_Translanka]

Yeah, well, whichever it is...They opened the Proto-to-65,000,000 gate...I figured the Mendina gate was open for some other reason...Perhaps the "other visitors" came from that gate? Perhaps Spekkio comes from that gate!

I got nothin...

[DarkGizmo]

it doesn't make sense because the only way to get to the end of time is traveling in a group larger than 3 (or already acces it before?) so even if spekkio look like a mystic there are very not much chance he comes from medina and lesser that a gate in some house has a direct link to the EoT

[Lordchander]

remember though, just because Spekkio LOOKS like a mystic doesnt mean he is one. No one knows what his true form is. Crono and co only saw him as a mystic because they were "weak" in a sense that that was Spekkio's weakest form Crono and co. saw. So the whole Spekkio came from Medina thing doesnt really work. Good in a way that we just debunked a theory, bad in the sense that we still havent solved it!
