Ok. So there are a lot of unanswered questions about the curse itself and its nature.

first off is the literal nature of the curse, we know that the deaths themselves are caused by the world attempting to atone for the existence of the extra student, and the way to stop the curse for the year is to kill the extra student.

However, this is where it gets complicated, first off, if the extra student is a spirit of a person that has died AND has been connected to the class itself, why is it annual? Why is it that a single person always dies before the year starts? Of course that person goes on to be the "extra" in this case. But even then, it's stated the following:

The extra is also a wandering spirit wanting to cling for a desperate last chance at life.

and

The extra has their memories altered, and so do the people that knew them.

Basically, they have no way of knowing who the "extra" is and the world itself doesn't seem to know either, which is why it starts killing random people.

Do these conditions of "initial deaths" spawning dead ones, including the memory alteration, have anything to do with the way that the class of 1972 handled Misaki's death? Pretending that he was alive and thus making him the first "extra" in this case? Because if that was so, why was he the only one to die that year and the so called "calamity" didn't play out in the same way? In fact, it should have been worse by the curse's own logic because the class not only literally acknowledged the existence of the "extra," but also encouraged him to literally come back to the real world?

Again, the details lack in this case. And there goes about the way of solving it permanently? I'd probably say the only way to REALLY stop the curse for good is to either:

A: Burn down the entire school, close it, and forget anything that has ever happened.

or

B: Banish Misaki back to the afterlife, because it seems to be that he is the one indirectly causing this strange phenomenon to happen with "Dead ones."
