Silly theory on why Gaku can't save Yukari: Gaku is propagating as light does, but light has a fixed (give or take small variations based on medium), finite speed. On the other side of the equation, if there are an infinite number of worlds, then there are also an infinite number of worlds in a subset with a given quality, no matter how improbable we would consider the existence of such a quality. If Gaku is working in a subset of "worlds where Yukari will inevitably die" and propagating within that infinite subset at a finite speed, it's impossible for her to reach the end of it. Of course this makes assumptions about the "organization" of the multiverse, as well as raising the question of how she got locked into this subset, but her original decision to become like light and stop Yukari's death could have "collapsed the waveform" into a set of worlds where Yukari's death is a foregone conclusion because that's the thing she was specifically looking to change. It would at least explain why Yukari keeps dying no matter what Gaku does, though. I'm sure there are tons of reasons why this doesn't work in the story, but I sometimes like thinking about the implications of infinity as a mental exercise.

What if Yukari decides Gaku needs to be "fixed"?
