Another thing that disproves the theory is that in order to be in that world, one must have died with severe regrets of their life. Otonashi lived a fufilled life. He died happy saving those he could. Also, Otonashi arrives to the after life only to fufill Kanade's regret, which was to thank the person who donated the heart, which was Otonashi. Lets say Otonashi was the creator. In episode 12, the AI says the creator went insane after his love left and so, became an npc. This is not possible due to the fact Otonashi died without any regrets, only reason he was there was because of Kanade. He was the bug. The shadows came about right after episode 10, when yui leaves and sort of gets married with Hinata. That pushed the system triggering the shadows. Also like the guy above said. In episode 12, Yuri and the AI are talking and Yuri asks if whether there are other humans or members of battlefront withing the npc's. The AI says there is one, and that one is the creator. That does not mean he must be a member of battlefront. Otonashi is not an npc, nor is he still trapped with them. Also like the guy above said, Yuri wouldnt recognize the name. That proves the fact that Otonashi is not the creator, he is just like him, but the difference is that Otonahsi leaves in the end. We know this due to the end of episode 13. Not the last 10 seconds, but the picture where everyone dissapears. Also notice how Otonashi takes longer than everyone else to dissapear. In, " Another Epilogue" Otonashi stays and helps the blonde guy and well other students pass on, from what they show us. However, he does move on due to episode 13. "Another Epilogue" is simply between the time Kanade leaves and the time he decides to leave that world.
