So, what do you think Valentina would change? (Spoilers)

Valentina likely has a perfect memory, so her version in the new timeline probably has a very good idea of what is going to happen.

Heavy mentions that he was weak, at first, and could only do parlour tricks - that most superpowers actually began like that.

So Valentina likely knew when Heavy would appear, and thus when to hit him - be it through Etienne's influence or just literally hitting him - so he never becomes a superpower.

Magus is just a guy who knows a lot, but nearly powerless without the Pyramid - Valentina and Etienne could easilly prevent him from ever rising to power.

Without Magus, no Eliza selling her soul to Hell*

And Masumi... She would be the trickiest of them. But Valentina knows how old she was, even assuming Valentina didn't know her family or her exact date of birth - once Etienne knows what's at stake, he could likely prevent everyone in Japan from having sex for some years, in order to avoid Masumi's conception.

We would have a world without any superpower other than Valentina and Etienne.

Only three issues:

* Without Magus gatekeeping magic, people could find it by accident, and chaos would issue

* Eliza is/was/will be still burning in Hell. If she finds a way to influence the world...

* The Queen. Without anyone to help her, Valentina would not be able to stop the Queen.

(IMO, the Queen is Valentina after a few thousand failed loops - same power level, same kind of "polarity", trying to do good)

And about you? What do you think Valentina would try to do differently in the second loop?
