Is the current portrayal legitimate or will there be a twist to explain it?

You're right you wouldn't need the five, but if transmigration was happening why would you need a backup? Why would there be memory loss?

Why would a soul have memory? If memory is an intangible property of the soul you could do without a lot of the brain, and maybe memory would be more reliable then too…

Because souls are depicted as being cognisant of their past existence; even with tormented souls who might have memory issues, it's more a psychological block.

I suppose you could argue reincarnation rules apply, and the back up is just there to give a head start in restoring the memories of their past existence; though as far as I'm aware they've done nothing to set such an idea up.

Again, the the authors didn't even know how this was supposed to work.

Yeah, the backup seems more like the factual, linear tale, vs the soul having the emotional context behind it all, so more emotional based memories would take priority focus for the soul… or something.

Look at what happened with Rockslide.

My take on the 5 and resurrection is it is the best scientific way to bring back someone... but the soul MUST be there somewhere and with a reality warper there no reason to think it's not... the waiting room provides a second non science way... that has the same physical components.

I also like it as short hand "this is how X characters come back" because lets be honest X titles have had a revolving door of death since before some of us where born.
