How was J still a MIB agent?
K was the one who found and recruited him while at first z wasn't sure. but with k being erased how was J still an agent?
shareJ is apparently living on an anomalous time-stream, he remembers K recruiting him and K being a modern presence until the night before. Possibly time-travel event changes have a way of limiting their extent, and filling in with new details that put current things in harmony with the cause-and-effect chain.
J's knowledge of time-travel, and his remembering of his past with K, may serve as a sufficient cause-and-effect fill in for the changes. Everyone else needs a new past that includes the changed event, and other results that stem from that. J does not, time travel as a reality of his world serves seamlessly enough as the fill in.

so what your saying is because j remembers everything, the timeline somehow readjusts to fit that in so that everyone else knows he's an agent and he somehow got signed on a different way?
shareThere would be a different way for them, for J getting signed on, yes, but not for J. He remembers being signed on and time traveling and changing things, maybe because he made the time jump, K did not, nor anyone else, except Boris, but he's dead.
Everyone else just goes along with the history change, they are passive to it all. J is active, he changed it, by time-jumping.

Right i think i get that. Thanks
shareI think we're led to believe either way J was destined to become an MIB agent since the altered timeline still has him as an agent just without K recruiting him. He must have become an agent a different way.
As for why he is the only one who remembers K, it is because he was there at the point the timeline changed.
...he was there at the point the timeline changed.
That is in agreement with Jeffrey Price's statement, referring to J's remembering K, "That means you were there".

yep. J didn't remember but that's because K neuralized him.
It's probably not intentional but IMO it makes the exchange during the first film even funnier;
"K have you ever flashy thinged me?"
"no"
"K I aint messin around, you ever flashied me?"
"no"
obviously now we know he had!
umm......he also flashed him in the first movie.
