Ok here's my theory on this video: I went ahead and rewatched Doctorine, Traffic Jam, and Tricologe since they all are referenced here. There are two important characters in this: The Judge: This is the woman with the blue face and the yellow eyes and hair sitting on the throne at the beginning of the video (0:31), and who we see throughout the video. It seems she is responsible for deciding if someone is a sinner (devil, sent to Hell) or if they deserved to be saved (angel, sent to Heaven). It seems she also targets people she wants to judge (0:36). This is further proven to be the case by the lyrics at 2:43: "Sinners never admit their sins, but they'll be judged equally by the 'omnipotent being' when they get here." The Lover (From Tricologe): In Tricologe, he saves the protagonist (Lady) from suicide, and falls in love with her. He is killed by the antagonist because of his love for her. In this video, he steps into The Judge's sights at 1:11, meaning she wants to judge him next. I'll get to what happens to him later in this comment. I am going to be going chronologically through the video, minus the first 20 seconds. I will be explaining that at the end. First of all, we need to look at how someone gets judged. The judging process occurs when someone throws a rock. If the person throws the rock and it sticks to their hand, as shown at 0:47, they are a sinner. As @Liben pointed out, the lyrics "Let he who is without sin be the first to cast stone" imply that when someone throws the stone, it will lead the saved to the sinners (or it will show who is a sinner). If one is without sin, the stone will not stick, and vice versa. An important side note is that blue skin and the color yellow represent a sinner (devil), while normal-looking skin and green hair (and color green overall) represent someone who is saved (angel). We know this by looking at Doctorine and Traffic Jam. In Doctorine, the protagonist (The Doctor) has blue skin throughout the entire video, up until the last couple of seconds, when his skin reverts to normal and his hair turns green, while The Nurse has these traits throughout the entire video. In that video, The Doctor is a good person who made a miracle drug that he was initially praised for. However, it comes out that the drug he created had unintended side effects (turning people into zombies). The Nurse, who had worked with The Doctor throughout his time creating the drug, knows The Doctor had good intentions, and, as an angel (denoted by her green hair color), attempts to save The Doctor. The video shows him almost succumbing to the miracle drug he created and becoming a zombie, but he is saved by The Nurse and shown to be a good person and is thus saved. In Traffic Jam, the two main characters are sinners who gossip and have no regard for human life (shown by their yellow hair and eyes, similarly to The Judge). They are average people who turn into sinners. Note the banana and lemon slice are present in Traffic Jam. They are also present in this video, and they represent people who go along with the trend or the pack. I think of them as guilty bystanders, they either do nothing though they see people being gossipped about, or they actively partake in the gossip set in motion by others (in Traffic Jam, the "others" are the two main characters), and as such, are judged to be sinners. Next, people with halos are people who believe that when they are judged, they will be saved, but are actually clear-cut sinners. The man with the blue hair and the halo at 0:44 is a prime example of this. He thinks he is an angel, but he is shown to be a sinner (devil) at 0:48 when he partakes in the gossip with the main characters from Traffic Jam, and at 0:57, when he is shown by The Judge that he abused his partner. At first, he can't believe that the stone sticks, so we see him try to shake the stone off his hand at 0:50. After which we see him beg for forgiveness at 0:54, and then get forcibly shown by The Judge some blatant examples of his sinning. Note The Judge also taunts him with the visage of his partner at 0:59. This is where it is also important to point out that when someone is killed by The Judge, the judged person gets definitively sent to Heaven or Hell, denoted by the color displayed at the time of death (discussed earlier). For example, when the blue-haired man is killed at 1:01, it is in complete yellow color, showing that he is to be sent to Hell. Later, when The Lover is killed, his hair shines bright green, showing he is sent to Heaven. We will get to this in a moment. At 1:08, The Lover steps into the target of The Judge. The Judge sprouts angel wings as she catches a glimpse of The Lover's entire backstory from Tricologe at 1:14. At this moment, she decides that The Lover should be sent to Hell, even though she is shown the kindness and goodness that he displayed to Lady in Tricologe (1:15). The next section, or the melody of the song, talks about letting go and giving up to the judgment. @Liben points out that The Judge 'judges' souls, "exhausting them until the sweet line 'Heaven Dope' tempts them to not fight back", or in other words, let the judgment take hold, even if it's wrong. Heaven Dope means that someone should be satisfied with their place in life, and trying to break out of that mold or fight against wrongness is for naught. It means that people should accept "how it is". The moral of this video, as shown later on, is that one should fight for what's right. Note we see the lemon slice dancing in the background because that represents someone who has already given into the "Heaven Dope", or is judged to be a sinner and won't fight the judgment. At 1:27, we see The Lover, with green hair and angel wings, in a cage held by The Judge. The Judge believes that her judgment will reign true and supreme and that The Lover will succumb to the "Heaven Dope" like everyone else. The next section looks at The Judge trying to make The Lover, who is a clear-cut angel, into a devil. Or, at least, The Judge is trying to make it seem that he is a devil. The line "Each with an ax sharpened by hypocrisy..." at 1:40 is directed both at the halo people and at The Judge herself. I think the Judge assumes that The Lover is a halo person, but I am not sure about that. There's also a shining reference here ("Here's Johnny!") at 1:46, showing that The Judge comes after unsuspecting people to judge them. For the next section we see parts of Traffic Jam and Tricologe, and some other things. Over the next section, The Lover is shown visions where Lady from Tricologe was either killed or taken by the antagonist of that video. He is basically being tortured (beaten down) to succumb to the "Heaven Dope" (2:03). At 3:07, we see The Judge with green hair. I think this is how The Judge sees herself, as she says "You look like the devil", as she is judging someone. At 3:12 we see the final judgment room. The Judge tells The Lover to live life even if it's pathetic (3:16), among other things (basically, "give up"). The Lover finally breaks upon seeing Lady happy with the antagonist from Tricologe, and sprouts black devil wings and green hair, showing that he is on the brink of becoming a sinner from the constant torture by The Judge (devil wings), but his goodness still shines through (green hair). The Lover attacks The Judge, making her bleed (showing she is not a god and should stop acting like one). The Lover wears a golden ring (3:36) because he is loyal to Lady and wears it for her (shown in Tricologe). The ring reminds The Lover of Lady, and the blue skin that was appearing on The Lover's face fades away (3:38) as he rises into the air, towards Heaven (3:40). The Judge attempts to throw a rock at The Lover, but finds it sticks to her hand, and that she is a sinner (3:43). She can't believe that she has become a sinner (3:46), and immediately kills The Lover (3:50). When he dies, he sees what really happened to Lady, and her happy life (3:51). Right after this he spews red blood, a sign that he is nothing like The Judge, who has blue blood - The Lover is human. At 3:59 we see a green-colored figure in Heaven. This figure is The Lover, and we know this because he is wearing the same ribbon around his waist from 1:07. This scene is to show that The Lover has made it to Heaven. Coming full circle, the man on his computer at the beginning of the video is a sinner, which is why he is completely covered in the color yellow. We know this other than by the color because he is watching the same hanging body as the blue-haired man and the Traffic Jam people watch at 0:48 (and he also is uncaring about human death, typical in Traffic Jam). He says "Hm?" and "What?" before the title is shown because he doesn't realize his judgment is just starting. By the end of the video, when The Judge looks at the viewer (4:03), she is actually looking at the person at the computer, who is currently being judged. The video becomes unlisted because he solely is being judged, it's not for others to see. I think that The Judge is also saying to anyone watching that The Lover was that last one who will go to Heaven, and all others who come to her will be sent straight to Hell (Also note how the computer guy is silent at the end, he knows he is a sinner, and he has given up). Big thanks to @Liben for the comment. I had to put some stuff together but his comment was really good to put me on the right track. Let me know if I missed anything or if there was another interpretation of something.

Also I would like to mention that the judge (Jupta) watches Black haired guy (Ōro) 's Life alongside Plut, the very guy who killed Ōro implying that this judging was rigged from the start. In Tricologe it is implied that Plut is a supernatural being, maybe he "bribed" the judge in a way in order for her to judge Ōro unfairly Edit: I got Jupta and Ōro's names mixed up
GOSHH! the visuals on this r so amazing! the way the main lady just looks so wicked and silly when she says “heaven heaven dope!” and ahhh! it is so amazing to recognize all these charcters from past music videos! i wonder what all their stories mean together! so many stories and so many songs this is so amazing!

"let he who is without sin be the first to cast stone" this song is so beautiful, it's got a dizzying kind of energy which is fitting for how its about the lady "judging" passed souls, exhausting them until the sweet line "heaven heaven dope" tempts them to not fight back (or i suppose, let go of their morals). gotta say, i love the black haired man since tricologe and seeing him here is so wonderful, especially with him knowing that tricologe's protagonist did escape her unhappy life. too bad he keeps dying, even after death hahaha /it seems he'll be saved by someone 3:59 edit: on another viewing, it seems like he was an angel who became mortal, the lady here wanted him to become a demon (since she has a superiority complex) and so plotted to make him "cast the first stone" like other sinners, but just as he's about to, tricologe's protagonist saved him, either by rebelling or through her "shout", thus the lady loses her temper and ends up doing the very thing she looked down on others for. love how its implied these videos were sort of being released on HER terms, so when she's caught disgracing herself, she takes the video down(?) lmao

The tuning is so characteristic of Nilfruits but the mood is a little unique and i love it so much, I was not expecting that little rappy section near the end and it sounded so good 😭 also the character crossover from all his mvs is too much for me to comprehend omg i love nilfruits
