Admittedly when it comes to translations I use them interchangeably and expect people get what I mean lol...I'm a digimon fan so this sort of translation nonsense is very familiar to me so I've kinda fallen into that bad habit lol.

Dw about the Kazui Infodump! Admittedly Amane occupies so much of my brainspace that information about other character's slips my mind real easily. And I did do an Amane Infodump so really it's just a fair trade.

I see what you mean by that, and honestly both are probably true to some extent. Like...yeah it's hard to rest easy when you still got 2 more trials to prove your innocent under the threat of horrific punishment, but Kazui is also wanting to be understood.

And now he's found out that his walls are built so high and so thick that even the magic mind brain extraction music video can't even give us a clear picture of what's going on. It makes sense he'd feel this way, both ways really.

Cat portrays Kazui so much more negatively (see it's advertisment-like feel and how Kazui seems more threatening compared to Half's stage performance) and also gives so little away, everything is Literally Framed in Cat except for Two Shots and those two shots don't really give us Much to work on.

It really feels like Kazui's walls are built Even Higher somehow in Cat, or maybe I'm just thinking too much about Cat again...

I'm a Big Amane Momose Enjoyer. I've basically been thinking about her for multiple months straight, my autism really did say this child was The One fr. I have written Too Much About Her, but I get where your coming from. She deals with very sensitive topics, though I will say I think it's worth interacting with her anyway. She's so emotionally resonant to me though so heh...

I could talk forever about how Shidou fucked up big time with Amane lol. It goes into some thoughts i have about 050608 family parallels but the basic jist is that the way Shidou unintentionally reminds Amane of her abuse. It's not on purpose, I doubt he's even aware of it (not that it makes it any better.)

Amane states very clearly in the T1 VD that she doesn't like being talked down too.

Amane: I see. Then, are the things that I as a twelve-year-old think irrelevant? Are you going to cast aside the feelings that I know I have in this very moment, purely based on the fact that I have not yet lived for a very long time?

Now this ties into a discussion about how age was probably used to justify her abuse-

However, this reaction to being treated as a child probably also comes from how her own feelings, actions and thoughts were disregarded by her parents.

After you cry, repent, and kneel, it’s now your turn to say that hopeless “I’m sorry”

Having other people do the same to her must be uncomfortable and upsetting.

This makes Shidou's treatment of her...well...

Shidou: I…… I just don’t understand. If everything about MILGRAM is true…… why did a child like you have to become a murderer? Just imagining what sort of circumstances must have led to that, it makes me so sad…… Amane: ……*sigh*. Is that right. I don’t think I’m going to get along with you, Shidou-san. I don’t agree with the fact you refuse to acknowledge that I have my own free will, and that I should be held accountable for my actions, just because I’m a child. I may have only been alive for 12 years, but all the choices I’ve made, even if they weren’t the best ones, were entirely my own. What point is there in you getting sad when I have no regrets myself?

Amane: I warned you. I can no longer turn a blind eye to this wickedness taking place right in front of us. You’re bringing ruin unto yourself. Do you understand? Shidou: No, I don’t understand. It’s my job as an adult to teach you that throwing a temper tantrum isn’t going to make everything go your way. If it’s a test of endurance you want, I’m happy to oblige, Amane.

Shidou- Shidou what the fuck are you doing?

Admittedly it's a hard situation to navigate but like- that was one of the Worst Things he could have said.

Ultimately it just pushes Amane further into isolation. It makes her feel like he isn't willing to understand her, it makes her feel small and threatened, it makes her feel Looked Down Upon.

But, once again, Amane has been given a righteous excuse to hurt someone that Hurts Her. Shidou is violating Cult Rules. She's allowed to hurt him back now.

I could infodump about Amane forever but I wanna talk 0304 Super Quick-

So again I'm trying not to make this too long (and I still need to get my thoughts in order) but 0304 is super interesting to me since it seems like their T2 MVs are made to reference the others T1 MV.

There's multiple things, lyrically there's a bunch of similarities between the T1-T2 MVs.

Backdraft:

Moribound, that’s all from me, reporting from the ground

After Pain:

The stabbing of the little devil’s voice, counterattack being a suicide note

Backdraft:

With just one mistake and I’m out of chances Bless me, please, with one more chance

After Pain:

Why won’t you stop hurt-hurt-hurting me? My heart is all dried up My sorry spells must be wearing off

We got some fun visual parallels with how Muu was drowning in honey/Fuuta was controlling the fire in T1 and how Muu was controlling the honey/Fuuta was being consumed by the fire in T2

(Uh tumblr won't let me upload images- this visual parallel exists I swear!)

Both It's Not My Fault and Bring It On have a general theme of "I'm right and just" Bring it On Has It's not my fault in it's lyrics-

Ultimately it seems like Muu and Fuuta's progressions as characters seem to be mirrored. Muu starts off meek and scared and then becomes more confident in how she's right in T2 and Fuuta starts out pretty confident that he's in the right and then slowly becomes more scared and remorseful.

Again that isn't to say those traits Didn't Exist before T2! Muu is subtly a bit of an ass and believed it wasn't her fault in T1 and Fuuta was already remoseful in T1! But they become more prominent when T2 happened.

Fuuta and Muu seem to have a common theme of what is "right" and the guilt that comes with doing something wrong and how to handle it. There both super insistent in their own righteousness but were they really justified? And when they aren't how do you take responsibility for your actions? Do you even want to accept it? Fuuta and Muu are Super Interesting I'm really fond of them as a duo.

I- god- I need to talk about how Milgram as a system makes you assign who the "worst" is out of the cast. Which one doesn't seem guilty for the actions? Which one didn't have a good enough reason? Which one is most dangerous? Which one is the scariest? Which one is the most Deserving of punishment? Which one Deserves Support the Least?

When Milgram asks who deserves to be forgiven and who shouldn't be this is what they mean. This is why Jackalope insists that you can vote for any reason. This system is Built to find the "Worst One" and Punish Them.

ES SAYS THIS IN AMANE'S T1 VOICE DRAMA:

Es: Don’t make me laugh. I’m not your teacher at school; it isn’t my goal to teach you things or guide you on the right path. Milgram’s goal isn’t to turn you back into decent human beings and get you back into normal society. What is needed here is firm, honest judgment and decisions.

Es: Milgram's goal is not to help people, but to judge them "firmly" and "honestly."

It is NOT a coincidence that they are saying this in Amane's T1 VD. Y'know, the same character whose cult punishes them unjustly and unfairly under arbitrary and often unreachable standards.

And look- I get that they committed murder. That is indeed a crime, that is indeed a horrible thing to do.

However, there is an Underlying Theme here that is being explored! If this work was just about what was murder and who actually committed murder this series would be over by Trial 1 and characters like Mikoto, Amane, Haruka, would be guilty and also Dead.

Milgram is actively making us engage with this System of Punishment and find out that No, it actually isn't that easy to prevent the evil from hurting the weak. That people get hurt in this pursuit of justice. That this black and white system of punishment Does Not Actually Help Anyone!

And this is such a cool and interesting part of Milgram that I wish people we're more willing to engage with! I wish we, as an audience, we're more willing to accept that Our Judgement Hurts People. That this is a part of the experience of engaging with the musical murderer series that asks the audience if their willing to forgive or not.

(And I also wish the risk of people attacking me for this is a lot lower but ah well.)

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABT THE ROYAL KNIGHTS???? I want ur opinion on each and every one

oh my god lmao ok, please don’t @ me for my royal knights opinions . I’m putting a read more bc this is long

alphamon - I was neutral until cyber sleuth but now I love my mom. the gold/black is nice and stylish, the little mecha wings and cape are #extra as hell but I forgive her. I’m looking up these digimon as I go and I’m seeing new little details I appreciate… a solid 7/10

omegamon - a classic but I admit I prefer alphamon. his weregarurumon/wargreymon weapons are my fave part of his design but otherwise I think he’s kinda plain? I love the old adventure movie where he shows up though and nokia’s omegamon appearing made me emotional. 5/10

craniummon - bad, ugly, boring. 2/10 (he gets an extra point for his stylish twintails)

dukemon - A GOOD BOY. his design is kinda plain but I love him a lot, my fondness for guilmon may be clouding my judgement though. I’m also a sucker for the more classic knight aesthetic. I absolutely LOVE medieval dukemon too. 8/10

magnamon - another one I’m kinda neutral about, his design isn’t really anything special but I like the v-mon types. he has some nice thighs which I appreciate. 4/10

dynasmon - I always forget this guy exists I’m sorry… I like his horns and wings but nothing really sticks out otherwise. I appreciate how he gets paired w/lord knightmon though.. although I don’t appreciate that horrible eva-looking picture of him w/his mouth open on the wiki. 5/10

lord knightmon - MY BABY AND UNPROBLEMATIC FAVE. I love him a lot.he’s so stylish look at that pink and gold!! and his little wing-shaped headpiece!! I don’t really know why the rose-carrying bishounen villain is a trope but I’m always here for it. I don’t like that he tends to get turned into the Token Girl just bc he’s pink but also I’m a hypocrite bc the cyber sleuth one was kinda hot… I kinda want to see one that isn’t villainous but also he makes a really great villain… 10/10

ulforce vd-ramon -  I like him and he has an appealing design, the kinda wing/cape thing he has going on is cool. but he also looks like a magnamon/dynasmon hybrid and it makes me wonder why we need all three. 5/10 (he gets a point for helping me beat the demon lords in cyber sleuth)

sleipmon - I LOVE SLEIPMON HE’S SO WEIRD. I already adore centaurs and the other centaur-like digimon are kinda ugly. his design is also really #extra with the eight limbs and shield/bow and all his accessories (and those wing things on his shoulders??) but it works somehow. I like that he has a horse-shaped helmet instead of a more human one, I also love that random deer face on his chest?? it took me a while to even notice that. 9/10

duftmon - everyone’s always mean to duftmon but I love him :’( his colourscheme is a bit eh but I like that it looks like he’s wearing a fancy jacket. his pompom tail and little wings are silly but in a good way. I appreciate he has an alt-form that’s just his fursona but also have no idea why that form exists?? 7/10

examon - AS A WELSH PERSON I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T NOT LIKE EXAMON. I love the little nods to our mythology/history in his design and lore (caledflwch!!). I love that he’s basically the welsh dragon but a digmon. and I love that the royal knights are all humanoid besides this one giant dragon. the gold accents on his wings/claws/horns are pretty. 7/10

gankoomon - his design cracks me up I’m sorry… I love that he’s just some random dude in tight spandex (really tight in cyber sleuth). his lore with hackmon is great though. probably the royal knight I’d most like to hang out with he seems like a bro. 6/10

jesmon - I FIND HIM REALLY ENDEARING BUT I THINK IT’S JUST HIS LORE?? it’s hilarious that he’s just a dragon made out of swords.. my fave part is his tail. I wish his colourscheme wasn’t identical to dukemon though and again he’s yet another dragon-looking royal night. I think he has some potential though and I want to see more of him. 7/10
