MILGRAM / "Undercover" MV de Es
MILGRAM -ミルグラム- / エス「アンダーカバー」MV
"Undercover/Encubierto"
"UNDER"
Si dices INOCENTE, eres débil y un cómplice
Estoy tan solo, alguien por favor ámeme
"UNDER"
Tiran de mi cable pero nada nunca es suficiente
Deseos contractuales, oh qué debería hacer, FUTURE
"UNDER"
Jugando a las escondidas con tu pecado
Da la cara, sucumbe, y también cierra la boca
"UNDER"
Aferrado a un corazón roto
El dolor sigue ahí, después de todo este tiempo
Toma, agarra, roba
Disecciona los pensamientos de "por qué"
Buscando errores en sobretiempo
El conocer a alguien, atarlo a su EGO
¿Realmente puedes juzgarlos?
La delgada línea entre "odiar" y "estar bien"
¿No deberías ver más allá de tu EGO, antes de que todo acabe?
Después de saberlo todo, me pregunto
¿Realmente puedes decir INOCENTE?
"UNDER"
En qué dirección tirarás tu peso
Ser engañado, o ser el que engaña
"UNDER"
No quiero solo dar
Dar y tomar, así es estar enamorado
"UNDER"
Solo sigo soñando
mitad adentro, mitad afuera, estoy acabado
"UNDER"
La magia está en creer
No hay justicia en promesas rotas
Toma, agarra, roba
Disecciona los pensamientos de "por qué"
Buscando errores en sobretiempo
El conocer a alguien, atarlo a su EGO
¿Realmente puedes juzgarlos?
La delgada línea entre "odiar" y "estar bien"
¿No deberías ver más allá de tu EGO, antes de que todo acabe?
Después de saberlo todo, me pregunto
¿Realmente puedes decir INOCENTE?
"UNDER"
No mientas sobre Mí
Yo, no he hecho nada malo
"UNDER"
Dedicando mi vida
Desgarrada, enterrando lo que quiero borrar
Destruyendo, peleando
Perdedores, por favor salgan por la izquierda
Incluso con acusaciones llenas de culpas y errores
De seguro, de seguro con una sonrisa
Estarás complacido y satisfecho
Toma, agarra, roba
Disecciona los pensamientos de "por qué"
Buscando errores en sobretiempo
El conocer a alguien, atarlo a su EGO
¿Realmente puedes juzgarlos?
La delgada línea entre "odiar" y "estar bien"
¿No deberías ver más allá de tu EGO, antes de que todo acabe?
Después de saberlo todo, me pregunto
¿Realmente puedes decir INOCENTE?
Engaños, imborrable "UNDER"
Las palabras en color hacen referencia a los títulos de las canciones del primer juicio, en orden: Weakness, Umbilical, Bring it On, After Pain, Throw Down, half, Magic, MeMe, HARROW.

FUCK YEAH!!! DOUBLE COMES OUT TODAY!!!
I'm really excited!
Predictions/Things I want
I want them to hug so badly. Or just any sort of physical affection (shoulder pat maybe?)
Clarification of his motive (The theory that he was getting stalked, He was a former gang member maybe? I've seen many interesting theories)
More Tarot/Occult (IDK if that the right term) Imagery
IDK I just really want this MV to suprise me.
I'd like to see if Trikoto theory is true (I really like it)
The thumbnail makes me so excited for this MV. Especially with the bloody mannequins and the lack of blood on Mikoto. It peaks my curiosity. He looks so haggard.

OH MY GOD are we finally going to get a video that shows what life inside the prison looks like??? i had been hoping that would be the case for Double to further showcase what the relationship between Mikoto and John looked like; i didn't expect it to happen here! i have been wishing for an MV like that for forever please deliver milgram team xoxo (/j)

Have. Have you heard amane's . Voica drama. And her animal cover. And purge march. Please i have been looping Purge March and her animal cover. Gosh i have so many thoughts. I am not okay - @erimnar
I've read a quick translation of the voice drama and uhhhh
Tumblr media
I am so afraid!!!! I havent listened to the others, though -- I always want to wait for the trial mvs to see it all together with visuals/subtitles, but the only thing stopping me from listening to the covers is... uh... I actually don't know where people are listening to them early ;___; If you need someplace to rant on thoughts feel free to drop them here!! I won't be looking at spoilery things until tomorrow (I usually get to see it like 3 hours after release time) but pleeeaaase I'd love to hear your thoughts on the VD and cover >:0

Fuuta's mv really makes so much more sense after listening to his audio drama. The eyes that appear on the walls obviously reference the viewer since he said he can hear voices of people talking about him and judging him, just like Yuno.
But also, another thing he talks about a lot is how he and Es are the same. Fuuta was judging and attacking people online based on the bad stuff they've done (something that he also admits doing in the drama), along with other people who joined him, this caused someone to die because of the harrasment she recieved. Similarly, Es (us) choosing to forgive Kotoko allowed her to go around beating the guilty prisoners. In both cases, their actions caused someone else to get hurt, even if that was not what they wanted. Which is why, at the end of Backdraft, Es appears on the same postion Fuuta was in during the entire video, spraying someone. This was done to show us exactly what Fuuta meant when he said they were similar, the video starts with him spray painting people to "judge" them, and then at the end the positions are reversed, with him being the one who is being judged and blamed by Es.

More serious summary of the livestream
Unfortunately I can't provide a full translation because the entire time I was watching in autistic excitement like 😊🥰🤩 whilst my brain melted out my ears and didn't pick up on a lot
Luckily, I have a feeling someone will get around to translating this stream eventually since they finally had the BGM on a lower volume so everyone was audible the whole time Without further ado:
We started with introductions seating order is Yamanaka, Yurina (Es' VA), Minami (Amane's VA), Ryouta (Kazui's VA) and DECO (who dyed his hair blonde) They each have one of the 4th anniversary acrylic stands in front of them The actors have their characters but Yamanaka has Haruka and DECO has Muu
Tumblr media
Yamanaka admitted to being a Haruka oshi/fan
Then Minami talks about being a Fuuta fan (she calls him cool) and she's handed the Fuuta stand and she pushes the Fuuta and Amane stand next to each other (and jokes about their height difference then imitates Fuuta going zenbu zenbu zenbu!)
Tumblr media
But then Yurina sticks her Es stand in between them to separate them
Tumblr media
And then they move the Amane stand next to the Kazui one and everyone coos
Tumblr media
Before moving Amane and Fuuta back together in front of Minami Then they basically just lift all of the stands up on to the table and continue on
Tumblr media
They discuss their thoughts on the trial
Tumblr media
Looking at who got voted inno and guilty Minami is happy Amane got inno but has no idea how Mikoto wasn't guilty They note that the audience wasn't very happy with Kotoko for beating up the other prisoners Then they give some thoughts on the MVs from Daisuki to Deep cover They get most excited talking about Cat and Purge March Kazui says that he was able to put the right emotions into Cat because he recorded the voice drama first Yurina and Minami actually caused the microphone to peak with their excited shrieks at one point (ow)
They answer some audience submitted questions One question was answered along the lines of "Be prepared" One was submitted in English and they tried to but couldn't read it Then they got a question (in Japanese) from someone from 韓国/South Korea [side note: I feel like the south korean milgram fandom has gotten more prominent recently, its always been there but it feels bigger than ever and that's pretty cool]
After audience questions they made a few announcements Some things we already knew, the gratte cafe crossover, the Kotoko line stickers, Earbuds are still on sale (and they're making badges and stuff based on the earbud promo art) the 4th anniversary art/acrylici stands literally in front of them Then some new things: Minigram LINE stamps (everyone was especially pleased for the Kazui XP stamp) There's going to be a part 2 to the Karaoke collab (no details yet other than its coming)
They also announce this year's perk for annual members [the pain of being an annual member but living outside of Japan so you can't get these 😭] Blank lamenated cards of the prisoner's interrogations and a whiteboard pen so you can write your own interro questions and answers They bring out the cards for Kazui and Amane and do some examples
Tumblr media
"Do you like cake?" "I don't eat it."
Tumblr media
"What did you have for lunch today?" "Gyudon." [a beef and rice dish]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then Minami just writes "Toilet paper" in katakana and everyone laughs (Then she writes Toilet paper rap/lap/wrap and I'm not sure what she means)
Most exciting is script books for the Hallucenation liveshow (scripts of the voice dramas and songs) The live show uses condensed versions of the voice dramas but this is the first time we'll have official transcripts of key moments to help check translations with
Then they start saying that T2 was hellish, but T3 is going to go beyond hell: They're going to send everyone to Super Hell And at this point my brain fries and overloads on eeby deeby memes as they all go back and forth talking about Super Hell
They all start doing their outros/saying goodbye
Yurina talks about upcoming challenges we have as guards meanwhile Yamanaka ominously holds the Haruka stand up in frame
Tumblr media
Then that's basically it, not much going on because a lot of stuff (like Hallucenation, the plushes, earbuds) came out right before the 4th anniversary

I've been constantly thinking about the usage of "childhood games" or "childlike questions"* in umbilical and teardrop and I know so many others have analyzed the fuck out of these things but I'm driven crazy
(*i physically don't know any other way to describe it other than childlike I'm sorry xhccfj)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Peek-a-boo)
Tumblr media
(and honestly driving me crazy [IN A GOOD WAY] that they translated it to Marco Polo because they did this on purpose MARCO POLO ISNT REFERENCED AT ALL IN THE ORIGINAL LYRICS)
Additionally, the fact she visualized the voices/audiences with the bunny while some of the other prisoners used different things (eyes, mostly) (Side tangent: Could you make an argument about what each prisoner represents the audience as in their t2 songs? I mean, for example, Haruka and the searchlight?)
Tumblr media
Lastly, in both of her voice dramas, she talks about forgiveness as "made-up play" and makes it seems like a game(? She says like "that's the end of round one!" Or something to that effect) whenever describing some of her reasons for murder or being cold.
it's so oddly childlike, as if yuno's self-conscious can't help but make something childlike
Which then you could say it's because she grew up too fast or that what else is there to make up from?
Yuno is a character who prides herself on knowing who she is, that she is her own being who is complicit in a murder (I wont deny her that fact. She's technically a murderer by MILGRAM's standards and she did everything on her own accord), whose job is nothing but innocent-like, and yet both of her MVs and Voice Dramas display the exact opposite. They have moments where you can perceive her as innocent.
The very fact that she's a liar is such an integral part of her character that no matter what, one of her lies are going to be shown. You'll still see her, but what of her will you see? What identity does she have behind all of her lies?
She's Yuno Kashiki. What else?

MILGRAM / "Weakness" MV de Haruka
MILGRAM -ミルグラム- / ハルカ「弱肉共食」第一審MV
"Weakness/Debilidad"
Dime, ¿por qué te estás alejando de mí?
Dime, ¿por qué dices que es mi culpa?
Lo que intenté decir fue “Eres injusto”
Y esas palabras pensaron qué tan miserable soy
¿Por qué se está rompiendo?
Dime ¿por qué? Por favor no cambies
Si lo intenté y no lo pude decir,
Te habrías enojado conmigo y dicho “no hay arreglo contigo”
Si tan solo pudiera hacer lo que todos los demás hacen
El futuro correcto eligió injustamente al yo incorrecto
Lloré, grité
Quería ser un lamentable y amado debilucho
Estaba en negación, estaba en negación
Solo tenía que asegurarme
¡AHahA! Por favor, mírame
¡aHaHA! Alguien, por favor míreme
Estaba equivocado
Sí, era yo
Está bien,
Todo es mi culpa, ¿verdad?
Es suficiente, soy una "decepción"
Siempre estoy repitiendo el ayer
Aunque es importante saber cuando rendirse
Está bien, aunque realmente no lo está
De verdad está bien, aunque de verdad no lo creo
Cuando intenté entenderlo,
Tú pusiste esa cara de decepción otra vez
Me alabaste diciendo “Estás loco”
Gracias, daré lo mejor de mí
¿Cuántas veces más tengo que hacer esto para ser humano?
Me volví una víctima, me volví una víctima
Mi soledad fue deseada
Estaba cayendo, estaba cayendo al fondo
Mi vida comenzó en el lugar equivocado
¡AHahA! Por favor, mírame
¡aHaHA! Alguien, por favor míreme
Estaba equivocado
Sí, era yo
Incluso si sigo intentando,
Se rompe inmediatamente
Las cosas que no están aquí, lo innecesario
¿Siguen viviendo en algún lugar?
Lloré, grité
Quería ser un lamentable y amado debilucho
Estaba en negación, estaba en negación
Solo tenía que asegurarme
Me volví una víctima, me volví una víctima
Mi soledad fue deseada
Estaba cayendo, estaba cayendo al fondo
Mi vida comenzó en el lugar equivocado
¡AHahA! Por favor, mírame
¡aHaHA! Alguien, por favor míreme
Estaba equivocado
Sí, era yo
¡AHahA! Por favor, mírame
¡aHaHA! Alguien, por favor míreme
Estaba equivocado
Sí, era yo

Since someone else recommended umineko, I'm going to make a 'if you like danganronpa you might like this' recommendation in the opposite direction!
I recommend a youtube webseries called MILGRAM!
Just like Danganronpa its really character driven except the writer is a psychologist interested in writing characters with depth
(And the songs are written by DECO*27 if you know anything about vocaloid)
Introductory trailer/series explanation Here
There are 10 prisoners and we get to try and figure out who they are and what they did based on a voice drama interrogation and a music video of their memories So there's a lot of speculation and theorycrafting Then we vote on if we Forgive them or Not Forgive them (this got translated as Innocent or Guilty, but we know they all did something, its about how we feel about what we think they did) And the results affect the story
There's 3 Trials (seasons) and we're almost at the end of the second!
(Also I promise its not like Kagerou Daze just watch all the MVs and voice dramas in Trial 1, then all the MVs and voice dramas in Trial 2 but I did make a post of links for convenience here)
Also milgram's monokuma-esque mascot is a rabbit
Tumblr media
you had me at deco*27 tbh, he's one of my fave vocaloid producers 🥺👍 I had one of the MILGRAM's mvs in my watch later for a few months exactly because of him, but I didn't know it was such a massive project!!! I'm definitely gonna check it out when I have time!
also, adding the link to the masterpost you sent in the other ask for anyone else who might be interested <3 tysm!!!

Milgram and The Court of Public Opinion.
this analysis will be about milgram's voting system, nuance and a whole lot of my own opinions mixed with eng fandoms translations, theories, and observations.
t1 = trial one / t2 = trial two
mv = music video
vd = video drama
voting and verdicts:
voting forgiven/unforgiven or innocent/guilty from the standards milgram sets for us (including es) isn't enough or easy.
being that milgram is set towards the court of public opinion and judgement can come from:
"sensibility, morality, ethics, legality, preference, taste, or sexual inclination..."
we end up arguing semantics, trying to find specifics in the crimes and making the best judgement possible. although in doing that the only conclusion anyone can come to is innocent when all is considered.
if we were doing it based on guilty and innocent then 5 are guilty, 2 are guilty on technicality and 3 are innocent
just in case you're curious, in guilty to innocent order as i just stated.
haruka, muu, amane, mikoto, kotoko, shido, fuuta, kazui, mahiru and yuno
it'd be over so quickly. but this... is milgram.
nuance/the grey area:
as the undercover song says, can you really judge them?
002. yuno, as for now, doesn't have a reason. ofc in western (american specifically) public opinion or at least those who view abortion as a choice. she's been innocent from the start. this is her autonomy, her choice, even if she's 18. i won't deny she is so young to be doing sex work, or more specifically compensated dating, and yes it may be common in japan but that doesn't take away the age being factored into what she decided to do. it wasn't for money and she has a good home life. with how analytical and cold she can be, im assuming her desire to be loved in this way comes from somewhere and she's become jaded towards actual relationships. opting for the material and superficial. even without pitying her, she'd still be forgiven/innocent since t1.
001. haruka did it for attention. with how he's coded - intellectual disability - and his mother being extremely neglectful after a certain age which prevented the possibility of his growth in intellect (understanding cause and effect/actions and consequences, along with many other things) it's easier to claim he's innocent. even more easier to forgive him due to this and extremely so if looking at it from his view point, albeit flawed. killing = attention = "affection", even if that attention/"affection" is negative it what he wanted. for someone, anyone to acknowledge him. he's innocent/forgiven because of his circumstances but if he's forgiven then he's being told it was his only option, and he was right, when the fault is on his mother.
003. fuuta was only trying to call out liars and scumbags. he is well versed in the court of public opinion, but he has never seen or experienced a result that lead to someone's death. looking at the undercover mv, then we can see he possibly doxxed his victim. if we take a nuanced approach here then we'd be looking at how he feels after the fact. he remembers the victims name, the fear in his eyes in his t1 and t2 mv, his voice drama after the first trial, him not approving of violence as a solution are all evidence of him feeling horrible. if he could go back, if he would've known. sure he did question why he's there instead of the people who actually killed the victim, but he also recognizes that he lead the charge. his innocence/forgiveness comes in the form of recognizing his actions were wrong. him being guilty/unforgiven is the action in itself.
004. muu is a love/attention reason. she's always been adored, admired, and cherished. she's always had her way. she also has never had to face heavy adversity. sure she was a bully, the queen bee, and a drama queen but didn't her school's culture allow her that? infact with us/es forgiving her, in the second trial song she claims as such, she'll always be queen. and for the t1 mv she says, "my 'im sorry' spells aren't working anymore." which leads me to believe that she's cried and apologized so many times that her old friends couldn't believe her. not forgiving her affirms to her that "two wrongs don't make a right" but forgiving her says the opposite to her. if she's to be forgiven/innocent the blame is tossed to the school, not her, but she won't see it that way.
006. mahiru is another love case, romantic, and in a roundabout way she never committed a crime in the first place. from the voice drama and interrogation q&a slips, we find out that she's a sheltered girl and loves/idolizes soap opera and shoujo mangas. from her mv's we see she romanticizes everything, especially with her t1 mv. she's innocent because of not actually committing murder and forgiven because this is her first love, she wouldn't have known that it was toxic and messed up.
005. shido is a love case, but for family. im thinking son because of a theory i saw, but either way when looking at it with nuance it gets heavier here. is taking from brain dead patients to save someone wrong? are the brain dead really dead? in my opinion yes, but that's the crux of the situation right? same goes for all the other inmates in this court of public opinion. he can be innocent from the view point that brain dead patients are already dead, and forgiven for his motive.
007. kazui did it in hopes of a dream, righting a mistake, being free. although he deeply regrets it, although he says he loves his wife? that love is mainly platonic. from his second trial mv, we see that he met her through his job - most likely police officer - so they had some kind of amicable relationship through their job. he only married her out of societal obligation, and noticing she liked him. not to mention in his t1 mv he says he messed up from the beginning. he is innocent because his crime is indirect, and forgiven because being gay isn't a crime and the regret he feels shows he never had negative intentions.
008. amane did it out of obligation. now, listen to me. i know she's literally 12 and was raised in a cult but notice how im stating the motive of each of these as they are from being stated in vd or pure observations from the mv's. now to any grown up it's self defense, but also imagine having gone through the worst hell imaginable all because you did something "wrong" stated by the adults around you. wouldn't the revenge be sweet? justice in its purest form. now take that and double it down with what you were taught. amane is not only forgiven/innocent because she was just a child, but because of the circumstances surrounding the murder.
009. mikoto (miko from here on) did it out of pent up stress an emotions, in turn creating john (koto from here on). miko is innocent without a doubt, and no i am not taking on the theory he actually did it til we get trial three. if koto was supposed to be his protector, and if he was born from a sudden explosion of pent up anger then (at least to me) it makes sense that he reacted the way he did. imagine being a corporate slave - no actually double it down, again, with growing up always trying to keep the peace. miko has a habit of laughing when he's upset. he laughs it off in hopes that things get better, his vd affirms this and even his mv after that. miko's smile that shifts to an extremely tired expression right before koto is born and a mirror shatters, right at the start. an intolerable stress from working so hard he grew grey hairs, cried himself to sleep, and yet continued to work, hold it in, and endure. the fault isn't on him or on koto. it's japan's work culture and the endure it mentality. koto is innocent/forgiven in the sense of motive. miko is innocent/forgiven because he's never killed to begin with.
010. kotoko did it to save the innocent. though she doesn't deal in nuance, much like fuuta. a key difference between the two is kotoko chooses violence because the justice system failed her. infact she's been hunting down the awful criminals of the world so much that she even has a covered bulletin board with pinned strings on it. on top of that, from the interrogation cards, we find out she dropped out of college and she was studying law. she'd be innocent for what she was seeking to do, in the court of public opinion, many would agree that awful people deserve a murderous punishment and she'd be even forgiven with that same reason. the nuance appears when considering the criminal, the crime and the reason. factoring those in then she can easily become guilty and unforgiven in the eyes of many, see the results after t1.
when it's all said and done:
they all had their reason, it all has a reason. who are we to say their crimes weren't just or fair? we're the judge, the jury, the executioner, and warden. in milgram whatever we says goes.
i'd love to see them all innocent, but at the same time do each of them deserve that? are their ideas being affirmed a detriment to them or their saving grace?? will they kill again?? will some of them be able to get the therapy and treatment they desperately need??? will they go back into society with an improved outlook on life or will they remain the same?
ofc i already have who i'd like to see forgiven and have already forgiven them myself, same as you reading this and those in the jp fandom (where it originates)
anyway. moving forward please vote with this in mind, and check out the audio dramas i beg you all. i hope that there are nuance voters and voters with sympathy but with how amane was guilty in t1, i have a strong feeling it's not gonna end well. but if it does, you'll see me rejoice.

DRDT + Milgram AU: Undercover (Introduction)
Finally succumbed to the Urges and came up with ideas for a full Danganronpa Despair Time - Milgram AU, and now I feel like sharing. This means giving each character a MV + VD concept (not a full VD though I ain’t writing that much dialogue, and not a full MV because who do you think I am), plus this Undercover post! I’m not sure if I’ll commit to this for a full three trials, or I’ll just drop it after just one, but I can guarantee I’ll do this trial in full. Feel free to make analysis posts (no pressure obvs), but also obvs don't expect this to be that good, I'm doing this for fun.
And if you come from the Milgram side, uh... have fun? I am curious about what people with no prior conceptions of these characters would think, but I do recommend DRDT if you haven't watched it (the overlap between the fandoms is non-trivial, I imagine you'll like it). If not, you should probably look up the character designs at least, but be wary that there will be DRDT spoilers.
As an obvious disclaimer just in case, I am not affiliated with either DRDT or Milgram in any way, this is just a fanmade AU done entirely for fun.
Basic Concept
Pretty simple. What if the 16 students of DRDT were prisoners in Milgram? This means they're all "murderers" by some loose definition of the word, implying most of their backstories must be changed to acommodate for that. For the prisoner pairs, I just paired them based on the Chapter 1 recap. The rest is pretty self-explanatory provided you know how Milgram works; three trials, vote Forgiven/Unforgiven, etc. I won't repeat it all here. You can go to the official Milgram YT channel for more information if you're not familiar.
Meet Es
Although they are of unspecified adult age, this universe’s Es is very similar to canon Es from the main series, at least in appearance. The only differences are red highlights in their hair, as well as sharp yellow eyes and taller height. They also wear arm sleeves on both their arms, being particularly adverse to people touching the left one, and their voice is slightly higher pitch. As for their personality… well, you’ll have to wait for the VDs, right? But as a heads up, they’re quite a bit nicer than canon Es, though they can still get pretty strict with the prisoners. 
(Can you tell who they’re connected to yet?)
Their uniform is the same as canon, including the band thing which in Milgram runes reads “reciffO eciloP”. The only difference is that their other band thing is longer and has the following runes:
Tumblr media
(As a heads up, since there's no rune for 'q' I just used the rune for 'c/k' in its place. You probably don't need to translate it all to know what this says if you're familiar with DRDT lore)
Jackalope is replaced by DRDT canon MonoTV, no big changes to its personality. It still breaks the fourth wall and talks to an audience,which is odd for the prisoners (and Es) seeing as there is no audience in-universe (at least, that's what it claims). 
*Es’ VD is mostly the same, besides changes in dialogue caused by the difference in personalities. The only real difference is that there is no ‘extra cell.’
*Cover is still Hibana. 
Alright, let's get to the fun stuff.
Undercover
(It is highly recommended you know what the canon Undercover looks like before reading this, since a lot of it is pretty similar)
The opening is still the same minus Es' different appearance and MonoTV replacing Jackalope, and only starts changing when the prisoners begin showing up.
(Don’t- Don’t expect this to actually work as a song btw. I’m not insane enough to make that work)
UNDER Split in between decisions, my conscious is made up of torn stitches
Levi (01) holds a mostly neutral expression as he holds up his prisoner card, which displays his face alongside an image of an alleyway. His pose keeps changing slightly in smash cuts. Levi’s face darkens right before there’s a switch to the next prisoner.
(Note: I won’t mention the pose switching and the face on the card all the time, since that’s part of canon Undercover. Just assume it always repeats)
UNDER The beauty in simplicity, wilting with rising complexities
Arturo (02) has his chin up arrogantly at first, showing a prisoner card with a picture of a bathroom. He scoffs and turns around before the switch. 
UNDER A liar? No, that’s wrong! My honesty shines like a star in the night
David (03) (speaker persona) smiles nervously, rubbing at his cheek with a finger. His card shows a bedroom. He covers his face with his free hand, sighing before the switch.
UNDER A sinner? No, you’re kidding! I’m innocent as can be, just don’t mind the gaps
Whit (04) throws a cheeky grin to the camera, doing a finger gun with his free hand. His card shows a park. He nervously rubs the back of his neck before the switch.
(Note: Yes I gave him 04 because of the tetraphobia thing sue me-)
UNDER With a fury and a passion, unstoppable, show them your fangs
Ace (05) snarls at the camera. His card shows a city street. He throws it to the floor angrily before the switch. 
(Note: Sometimes I wasn't quite able to tie their talent to their murder, so it's either tangential to their story or has been replaced with something similar. I am mentioning this with Ace for... no reason in particular, sure, you'll believe that)
UNDER Your fears and anxieties, Respond to the stress, show me fight or flight
Nico (06) hides under the part of their cloak which looks like a scarf, peeking out nervously. Their card shows a locker room. They take a step back as the scene switches.
INSERT CHORUS HERE
UNDER Each existence is like no other, Lucky, unlucky, showtime reaches all
J (07) holds up her card with an unsatisfied expression. It shows a bridge surrounded by camera equipment. She rolls her eyes as the scene switches.
UNDER And yet, it’s all the same In the end, this wretched still life goes on
Rose (08) yawns as she holds up her card lazily. It shows a large dining room. The card slips from her hand as she falls asleep.
UNDER It’s too much, too much, I’m high strung, please forgive my sins
Hu (09) looks nervous, glancing around as if to find a place to hide. Her card shows a zither in a non-descript room. She drops her card, and closes her eyes with a pained expression, a hand on her chest. 
UNDER Please do condemn me, Bloodletting, the horror inside us is what makes me feel.
Veronika (10) spins and gives the camera a bright smile as she pulls out her card. It shows a rooftop. She throws the card in the air dramatically, laughing as it spins around and falls beside her. Her eyes fall back on the camera, and she smirks menacingly. 
UNDER  Unopposable, incontestable Merry kings, life’s queens, for me they bow down.
Arei (11) is sticking out her tongue and looking to the side dismissively. Her card shows a bowling alley. She laughs into her hand before the scene switch.
UNDER My weakness haunts me, Alarm bells are ringing, there's no going back.
Eden (12) fidgets with her hands, shaking nervously. She hides her face behind her card as she shows it, but her teary eyes are still visible over it. The card shows a bedroom full of clocks. She cries into her hands before the switch. 
INSERT CHORUS HERE
[The music winds down, a bridge of sorts. As it plays, a few scenes are shown, where only the characters’ silhouettes are visible, white noise covering them]
[01: A steaming kettle covers most of the foreground. In the background, Levi is seen sitting at a table, head slumped forward. Most of the table is visible, but no one else is in the frame]
[02: Arturo is seen to the left, holding a white turtle neck shirt in his hands. Behind him, an open suitcase sits on a bed, clothes splayed haphazardly around it]
[03: David stands alone on an empty stage, arms wide out. The spotlights are all on him. The entire stage and some of the front row seats are visible, with David’s silhouette only covering a small part in the center of the frame]
[04: A computer monitor covers almost the entire frame. There are countless photos and words, but they’re all too blurry to see, with the exception of a small message on top which reads “Analyzing profiles…” Whit is reflected on the screen, resting his head on one of his fists]
[05: Ace sits on a motorcycle, looking up and admiring the night sky which takes up most of the frame]
[06: Nico is crouched beside a cat, holding out a pink mouse toy for it to play with. Only their legs are visible, but there is a puddle of water under Nico]
[07: J has her palm spread out all over the screen, as if blocking the camera. There are flashes of light behind her, but the source is impossible to see]
[08: Rose sits slumped in a chair, hands on her face. All around her, dozens of canvases can be seen, painted entirely in black. Small bits of color poke out at the bottom, but no full paintings are visible]
[09: The camera is entirely focused on the top of a zither. Hu’s hand is visible, touching the strings with her plectra]
[10: Only Veronika’s footwear is visible over a dark floor. The rest of the scene is filled entirely by blood]
[11: Arei stands in front of a bathroom mirror. She’s holding the right side of her hair, the only part that’s visible. It looks very unevenly cut]
[12: Eden is holding her head in her hands, slumped over a work desk full of small machinery. Behind her are a multitude of analog clocks of various designs, all showing the same time; 6:00]
[13: Min is sitting on a chair, slumped forward and apparently collapsed over a notebook. A pen sits just beside her right hand. A bit of the writing can be seen, showing this:]
Tumblr media
[The brown part being Min's hair. Don't make fun of me I'm using Paint and have zero art skills]
[14: Xander, the focus of the shot, stands in front of a crowd, standing on a simple chair. His fist is in the air, and so are the fists of everyone in the crowd]
[15: Charles is kneeling over a grave, the name on it hidden behind the silhouette. Charles is pulling at his hair with his hands. Other graves are visible around him, but the edges of the screen are darkened and it’s impossible to see them well]
[16: Teruko’s hand is reaching out to a black figure, this one without white noise. The figure is completely non-descript, more a simple shadow than a proper silhouette. Blinding white light surrounds this figure] 
UNDER No mistakes, no corrections, 100% Perfection, results shall not vary. 
Min (13) wears a neutral expression, and she holds her card perfectly upright. Her pose changes only to match the exact angles actual mugshots use. Her card shows an untidy bedroom. Before the switch, she lowers her hand, and looks briefly to the side, before turning back to the camera. When she does, her left eye flashes magenta behind her hair. 
UNDER Fighting for true justice, Stand strong, a reflection of the will of the many
Xander (14) is glaring at the camera, moving his card around flippantly. Said card shows a window overlooking an entire city. Xander throws the card away before throwing a punch at the screen.
UNDER Leave no room to hide, No hesitation, a chain reaction of truth unfolds
Charles (15) looks serious, if a bit annoyed as he holds up his card. It shows a laboratory table with several test tubes. He turns his back to the camera, adjusting his goggles, but gives one last, softer look behind him as the scene switches. 
UNDER Or shall the secrets remain? What lies beyond the lies, armageddon untold
Teruko (16) looks at the camera with cold eyes, but a hint of a frown on her lips. Her pose never changes; unlike everyone else, her segment is one continuous shot. It starts with her holding her card at an angle such that only her face is visible on it. She closes her eyes solemnly, before finally flipping her card around so only the backside is shown. It has the Milgram logo combined with the DRDT logo. She never shows the rest of the front of the card, as the scene switches moments after. 
[Pre-chorus, as the prisoners hold their hands to their mouths before a scene of them smiling plays. At the end, for a few frames, a white camellia blooms, before there’s a sudden shift in scenery as we hit the final chorus. All the prisoners’ silhouettes have a still shot each with Es, with a blood splatter always under the latter. The scene starts to focus on each individually]
[Levi’s punching Es in the face, Es thrown to the floor from the impact. Brass knuckles are barely visible on his hand. Levi’s shouting, as are all the other prisoners]
[Arturo is kneeling, facing away from Es. The latter is laying on the floor behind him in what would be a pretty uncomfortable position. Arturo is holding his head in his hands, his mouth visible from the side and open in a shout. One of Es’ shoes is off]
[David is holding Es by the neck of their shirt, shouting at their face (from now on I’ll stop clarifying that they’re shouting). The following symbol appears over where his eyes would be, glowing yellow: 正] EDIT: I forgot to mention one of Es’ shoes is off. RIP to the theorists I’m so sorry-
[Whit is pointing what looks to be a gun at Es, who is recoiling as if they’ve been shot in the heart]
[Ace is seen running, Es’ body falling to the ground beside him and twisting as if they’d been bumped into]
[Nico sits on top of Es’ back. With one of their hands, they’re grabbing onto Es’ hair and apparently pushing it forward. With the other they’re holding two ends of a wire firmly planted on Es’ neck]
[J stands normally, pointing what seems to be a remote control at Es. The latter is face-up on the floor, their limbs contorted in unnatural angles]
[Rose is standing, facing away from Es, who is kneeling and grabbing at their throat. A small jar sits beside them, the cap taken off]
[While standing, Hu is grabbing Es by the throat with both hands, blood coming from the Warden’s throat]
[Veronika is kneeling besides Es’ face-up body. Her hands are on her chest, and there is blood under her as well as the Warden. Meanwhile, Es’ limbs are contorted in unnatural ways, and one of their shoes is off]
[Arei is violently swinging a bowling ball at Es’ head, causing their body to twist around as it falls]
[Eden is standing, covering her eyes. Her right hand has a Ⅵ symbol glowing bright yellow. Es is uncomfortably laying face-up on the floor]
[Min is standing with her back turned to Es, who is kneeling on the floor and grasping at their neck. Min is shouting into a landline phone. Along her arm, an equation glows bright yellow:
ln(x³ - 2 . 13) = 0]
[Xander is grabbing Es’ shoulder, plunging a knife into their stomach]
[Es is standing neutrally, but there is still blood on the floor. A glowing yellow question mark floats above them. Charles is nowhere to be seen]
[Teruko is kneeling calmly besides Es, who is lying face-up with their hands crossed over their chest as if in a coffin. A question mark glows on Teruko's left hand. Teruko is the only prisoner besides Charles who is not screaming]
[The song winds down while a sped up and translucent version of the video plays in the background. A shadow begins growing in the middle, and for just a moment, two sharp yellow eyes stare at the camera from the center of the screen. The finale simply has Es exiting to the left as they do in canon Undercover]
