MILGRAM - Haruka's Second Voice Drama (Metamorphosis of the Weak Mint)

[@eeperrrrrrrr]

"muu-san is my mother" so close!!! thats called friendship

[@coltonturbville3851]

Haruka’s mentally and emotionally a child. It’s understandable he would take being viewed innocent after killing a person, children take praise or disapproval for everything that they do

[@SuperGreenSmartie]

The saddest part of this is that no matter how people voted for him before or vote for him after this, Haruka is clearly just very unwell mentally. He clearly was struggling with some form of abuse or neglect that led to him snapping. What he did was wrong but even now he's just completely unravelling over it. If he'd been voted guilty before, he would just continue hating himself and it would reinforce the kind of thinking he already had about himself. But being voted innocent has led to him completely swinging the other way and trying to convince himself that it was okay for him to kill someone. He seems very confused and almost angry at his verdict, like he can't understand why anyone would forgive someone as lowly as him. It's heart-breaking but I don't think Haruka is gonna recover or improve without some proper therapy/emotional support, and they seem to be hinting that Muu is the person he's looking to for that support which is really bad. Her own dysfunctions and trauma just feed into his; he wants to be acknowledged and she wants to be validated. They're both awful for each other and are likely gonna spiral down hard unless someone snaps one of them out of it. Unless an emotionally stable third party intervenes, he's gonna fully derail no matter what his next two verdicts are and there's nothing we as the audience can do to help him.

[@stinkyrat3744]

These r my exact thoughts.. omg thank you. I literally worry abt Haruka so much bc of how unwell he seems.. I personally didn't enjoy how he was captured as a "bad guy" without pin pointing maybe why he's the way he is. You said exactly everything as to why. But it's just nice to know someone else out there is also thinking of his mental state. I feel like just him being neglected and not taught a lot on life; just gave him his own narrative in the real world. So he taught himself the best he could to be a human being. It's really rough and not to get personal, but he reminds me of my past self so much. My child self is still so hurt from their past, seeing how similar me and Haruka r just hits home and makes me wanna literally protect this man with every fiber of my being lmaooo I hope he'll b okay omg. I'm doing okay now tho, and therapy and getting help does work lol. If Haruka were to get help, I feel like he'd understand what he did was wrong and feel horrible. But still have twisted parts to him, sadly. Murder changes u mentally in ways idk how, but he lost parts of himself and soul from that I think : ( Same with his childhood. He has a lot to learn and I really hope we get to see more growth from him! ( obvs not a whole lot, but it's nice to hear him speaking up more! ) sorry this got personal and long 😅

[@myffisunn2919]

THIS I have such a hard time finding a verdict for haruka, he both need validation and a way to stop him from being violent towards other and himself, but i don't think milgram, by it's concept, will ever be able to provide him that help, wich is kinda sad.

[@LanieMae]

The problem with the Muu and Haruka thing is that it seems they’re both legitimately friends with each other. And they both have their own problems that get worse when their with each other any Muu might be a little bit manipulative but that’s a problem. Keep two characters that have never had any friends stay friends and be happy, or distance them from each other to stop their problems from getting worse?

[@asuko-san7440]

Haruka has that BPD vibe -some one with BPD discovering the show and kinda relating

[@facelessbrutality3710]

I want Haruka to be okay. I really just want him to be given therapy, or a safe person to help him, which is most definitely not Muu. I am very attached to Haruka, relating to him as a character and the abuse/neglect he had. I hope he will make it... :,

[@johnj.j.8159]

they spend most if not all the time together so he calls her his mom every single chance he gets to do so. like haruka didn't come up with the mom thing only during the voice drama and he wasn't afraid to call es not his mom even though he himself wanted them to be his mom. haruka thought he could be his real self when around es(which includes calling them his mom). why would he proudly claim that muu is his mom? she must've accepted that title lmao bc if she hadn't he'd say that she isn't his mom either. muu still sticks around him and isn't weirded out by being called mom. also yknow being called a mom means that you're some kind of authority figure, remember: muu dominates him

[@honamimochizuki]

yeah, and he really does have more of a childlike mentality due to his mothers neglect…. so it makes me wonder differently this voice drama would be interpreted by people if physically, he was a child

It's pretty interesting. We have Haruka, an older teen/adult who acts younger, and Amane, a little kid who acts older. Two different sides of abuse and the way it can mess with your mentality.

[@Kaedientes]

That tantrum scared me the fuck up. I also think it doesn't help Haruka that he thinks of Es like an authority/parental figure (like his mum) so it's completely reasonable for him to act cocky. However, positive reinforcement doesn't work on him (like another commenter said) and he needs to see what he did was wrong! I know he's behind developmentally but he knows what killing is and deliberately did it

[@T3RM1N4llyOffl1n3]

Quoting a classic, he doesn't have enough brains to use as lube

[@T3RM1N4llyOffl1n3]

I don't think so he thinks MUU (younger than him) and fucking ES (who addresses himself with male pronouns) are his moms if he doesn't understand birth he probably doesn't understand death either

[@T3RM1N4llyOffl1n3]

i don't think it's gonna work, we tried voting him guilty and he just got frightened

[@Haru-sg9vj]

" he thinks of Es like an authority/parental figure" This!! He was throwing a tantrum and acting like he HAD to be right--but the moment he abandoned the idea of Es being his "mother" he started being polite and shy again. He only screamed and acted like himself when he felt he could trust Es! Which gives so much insight into how he has been acting up until this trial

[@soda2339]

I can't say I forgive Haruka, but I really pity him. Its obvious he has a learning disability, and by how much his mother neglected him its obvious it was never accommodated, instead the boy was raised without any real support it and it only worsened by the inferiority and victim complex he gained from the failure and neglect he continued to be met with. Now I'm unsure if ANYTHING can be done for him within milgram because of just how traumatized the boy has become. Vote him innocent and he learns nothing and will eventually do it again. Vote him guilty and he'll just continue to hate himself and likely end up doing it again desperate for any attention to help offset his own despair. Haruka needs therapy, I can only hope that voting both him and Mu will lead to some sort of growth for him, if he doesn't succeed at killing himself that is, but shidou should be able to save him if he tries.

[@T3RM1N4llyOffl1n3]

If that makes you happy, Milgram is a experimental prison for criminals like Haruka (hence the name)

[@c0d3.c0dy]

i also really pity him. his freakout reminds me of my own - i can relate (i'm autistic) so i can only feel bad for him. i hated every time S called him an idiot, because he isn't. what he did was wrong, but i wouldn't say it was entirely his fault. he has a lot of issues, none of which were his fault. i'm probably way too forgiving, but i just feel really bad for him and i want him to get the help he deserves, that's all he really needs in my opinion.

[@HiImLavvy]

*spoiler* The only problem with Shidou would be Amane, who said it straight to our face that she's going to kill Shidou sooner or later, so let's just pray that he'll be able to save Haru before Amane will strike :(

[@missria3739]

I was on the fence second trial, but now I know I'm gonna vote him guilty. In the first trial, I assumed he was on the spectrum and didn't really know what was going on, just killing = attention. (Didn't help he got a banger song lol) but now I'm seeing positive reinforcement doesn't work, there's too many issues with his logic to teach him properly in the timeframe we'll have with Milgram. This shows me he probably won't change in time (get the help he needs to be released into the world again stable enough that he's not gonna go find some more victims), knows and is aware of what he's doing in a sadistic fashion (the acknowledgement of his "attention attracting kills" "I can kill anything smaller than me") and as Es has put it, he's become cocky, and therefore kind of intolerable as a person. I don't really root for him anymore, but appreciate the writing in that he's not just this one note sad tale of someone who can't understand they've done wrong for 3 songs. But he's totally guilty to me as he is now. Plus, about his threat, if he gets treated as guilty he'll get more restrained so probably won't be able to fulfill it, don't worry.

@@pomme2903 He does not understand what a mother is, how tf he's gonna understand death

[@X0.xoox.0X]

I would still argue Haruka doesnt fully understand what he’s doing. Haruka has a developmental disability and clearly has a simple understanding of things, this is evident from just his description of what a mother is alone. Haruka has come to learn that Killing = attention, he doesn’t do it cause he likes it, in his very distorted perception its all he can manage to do to be seen as a person born ‘weak’ in a world of people born ‘strong’. The worst part is that he’s right, had he not done those things what would have become of him? Surely there might have been better answers but how could you expect Haruka to understand that with no outside resources and limited critical thinking. Its terrible that an innocent life was lost and Haruka certainly killed them, but who is really to blame here? Shouldn’t the parents who abused their disabled child be more culpable? Had Haruka grown up with proper care and supervision he would have never turned out how he is now. Haruka is a very troubled youth, he’s done bad things, theres no arguing against that. But he is not sadistic, he takes no pleasure in hurting things. All he wants is to be loved, but due to the abuse he no longer thinks thats possible and instead seeks attention. Its really just sad. That’s why it makes me sad to see people judge Haruka so harshly. I voted him ‘guilty’ this trial as well. its true we should try to stop this type of thinking but he’s not beyond redemption. He needs help more than anything, it hurts that others are quick to say hes gotten too cocky… he’s obviously just trying very hard to become a better version of himself (and is just following Mus influence)… just look at his T2 interrogation answers, “everything is wrong with me” and etc… he still hates himself more than anything. please dont be quick to write him off as cruel and cocky, that isnt Haruka.

[@baristascallmewolfgang]

Is it bad that I didn’t really feel that sympathetic towards him *until* this voice trial?? The first trial I just saw that he killed a dog and obviously a person, too. He wanted attention but. That’s pretty much all I got. I was shocked when he was voted innocent, he literally says “yes it was me” in his song. But now, this trial says a lot more about him and how he just never was enough and was neglected etc etc. I’m still voting him guilty, as voting him innocent just made him worse (I think at this point there’s no saving him, he’s just getting worse for a different reason depending on if he’s innocent or guilty) and I think he is absolutely guilty of murder, but dang now I understand the love for him lol

[@alieren9740]

its not really about figuring out whether they are innocent or guilty. Milgram is about whether or not you forgive them for the crime they committed as seeing their circumstances that led to the murder. Its already known all of the prisoners have committed murder one way or another

[@shhgobacktosleep8166]

it's scary when he switches to that emotionless, cold tone tbh like if he's gonna use only this one in the third trial it feels like es won't be able to reach him at all when he's blaming himself or throws a tantrum it's still something, some kind of dynamic, him actively reflecting on what he did

[@acrazyp]

Haruka needs a lot of therapy. He shouldn't be blamed for acting childish or not understanding some things. When a mother neglects a child, that child shouldn't be held responsible I think. But it's good that people voted to not forgive him this time. Even if Muu wasn't forgiven either, if his ideas are rejected, then he might return to his previous self, and maybe Muu will do something that'll stop Haruka from killing himself

[@Ncorpsnails]

ITS TOO FUNNY I CANNOT HE WENT FERAL

[@11th-lemon]

I didn't expect him to change THAT much. I feel kind of bad for him, if I understood correctly he's only acting like that because he was brainwashed. Maybe he wouldn't have made those leaps in logic if his ideas hadn't been forcefully reinforced. Or maybe I just took Jackalope's word too literally. I doubt Haruka will really kill himself, if that was possible Mahiru and Shidou would have done it already. I wonder how Es managed to understand something from Haruka's first MV. I knew he was suspicious, but I didn't expect him to be that evil. It was very weird how at first it seemed as if they were talking about Sakurai's crime only for they to reveal they were speaking metaphorically about "killing his undesired self". I don't understand how that is a murder. I wonder who he killed. It can't have been his mother, killing her for her own attention makes no sense. Anyway, thanks for making this video!

[@elyly]

they were probably referring to the girl in his first mv

[@Felix-jo7nj]

i think milgram brainwashes the prisoners somewhat depending on which way you voted, it either makes them worse or better depending on how you see it. though not everyone is affected by it [as far as we can tell] OR doesnt have major changes we can see yet

[@johnj.j.8159]

he wasn't brainwashed rather id say that he was unsure whether he was right or wrong but he was hoping that the reason for doing it would justify his murders so he was beyond happy to know that that many people agreed what he did was right and voted him innocent. this is the real haruka sakurai he isnt some innocent boy who killed himself and didnt commit any other murder haruka could kill himself just like that using a knife he'd obtain from dinner, by wrapping restraints around his throat etc then theres the possibility of a double suicide with mu... it's very obvious that he killed a dog in weakness and then theres the new mv where he killed a bunch of animals. he also killed the girl in pink dress(proof at the end of the second mv lol) only he didnt smash her head with a rock just rewatch the first mv a few times and you should be able to see it

[@11th-lemon]

@@johnj.j.8159 I wrote this before watching that video. It's clear he killed animals even from this video, but that's not why he's in Milgram. As for the brainwashing, it has to be a thing. Not only Es acts as if he had been brainwashed by some sort of cult (figuratively), there's also the fact that Mikoto is somehow the only one who's immune to Milgram, which means they are definitely trying to mess with his mind. I do want to believe I'm wrong, though, because brainwashing makes the story less interesting. As for the suicide I guess it has to be possible since murder is possible too, I just wonder why those 2 didn't do it. And yes, now I know he killed the girl but we don't know who she is.

It's too bad, I feel like if he were perhaps voted guilty first, and then innocent second with at least a few reason why explained to him, it would've helped him better. Having the second judgment come with a worse punishment after all... Then again, Kotoko's violent "justice" really complicates things. In the first place, I doubt many voted Kotoko innocent just to have her on our side. I'm worried most about how to vote Kotoko now that we know how she responds. I mean... Having her beat people may even be useful in some sense though it wasn't this time, but it mostly seems to have detrimental effects. After all... her actions clearly are meant to have a huge impact on our judgment and the life or death of other prisoners. If we vote Mahiru guilty again, Kotoko will kill her, so many of us may not want to vote her guilty now, but what if we feel she deserves it? That being said, if we vote her guilty again, is final fate chose by final verdict or best 2 out of 3 trial results? Our judgment whether we like or not will now be heavily skewed.

[@zanthiablue5254]

I stand by my principles. He may be wrong saying he did nothing bad but how exactly is giving him a guilty verdict going to help?

[@ac-gf4zt]

That was actually my line of reasoning, too. I have been voting him innocent. I really don’t think a guilty verdict would help him to understand what he did was wrong (especially because it’s Haruka), but rather just make him extremely miserable. I’m a bit worried about what actions he might take if he gets an innocent and Muu gets a guilty, but it looks like he’ll be voted guilty anyway.

[@johnj.j.8159]

es is behaving differently based on the prisoner, they didn't change after fuuta's voice drama like take for example their attitude in muu's voice drama es has had a dislike for haruka since first trial's voice drama(could possibly attribute to es subconsciously knowing the crime, knowing him before milgram etc or just plain simple disliking him) also, it could be possible that es is this way because of the audience thinking of haruka as an "idiot"

[@tecneon]

Yeah it doesn't sit right with me either how Es goes on to use physical violence especially because we know Haruka was abused.

[@gyrasolune5436]

I actually have a bit of a theory about just why Es seems to behave so differently between voice dramas - I think in trial 1, Es is acting as something of a 'proxy' for each prisoner's victim, and in trial 2, they're a proxy for each prisoner's 'witness', so to speak. I think a lot about Amane's, for example - where Es is at their MOST rancid and horrible, like straight up so authoritarian that Amane's provoked into cult-navigating mode - but in trial 2, the infamous 'i'm an adult in haiti and puerto rico so nyah nyah' line makes them a LOT more immature and bratty - it's like Es switched between Amane's victim (some figure of authority, one of the people who abused her) and that fellow cult-member-classmate of hers, who I can easily see her bickering childishly with. And, well, for Haruka here - it's obvious, huh. Es is serving as a proxy for his mother - Haruka even, essentially, says as much, that he was sorta conversing with them /like/ they were his mom. ...As for trial 1, well. Well. WELL I SURE HAVE SOME THEORIES ABOUT WHO HARUKA'S 'VICTIM' WAS but that's for another day (okay i think this is all deep misdirection about closet transness and the victim was his potential future self)

[@X0.xoox.0X]

“just looking at you makes me sick. Idiot. Idiot.” it really was overly cruel especially when its obvious by now that Haruka has a developmental disability. Its very ableist and its hard to watch. I do wonder if its supposed to be a critic on how Society would treat Haruka considering ES is supposed to be a boice for the public… either way its really sad

I see lots of people saying that no matter what we do Haruka can't be saved, but I disagree. I think all 10 of these people have a way in which we can save them, or at least there's probably a "good ending" for each of them. Not sure if it's possible to get all 10 good endings all together, or whether we are already too late for that, but I'm still holding out hope. So yes, I don't think it's too late for Haruka, and I think voting him guilty this time along with Mu was the right decision.

@@mizuener whoops- yeah that’s what I meant :,)

[@zackj6751]

It was said that when someone is voted guilty/unforgiven, then they would be physically restrained, so if Haruka was voted guilty, wouldn't that make it harder for him to take his life if Mu were to be voted guilty? Of course, that does not mean it would be impossible but might make it harder for him to try to take his life if the group keeps an eye on him. Also if people try to stop him he could lash out at them, injuring people who are voted innocent, so if he is voted guilty, it could make it safer for them. I could be wrong about this and it might make things worse but it's just what I think right now.

[@voidopall548]

@@zackj6751 Currently me and my friends belief is that everyone should have been voted guilty in the first round to make sure everyone knows they’re place and also receive the least consequences from it and then be voted innocent no matter what during the next two trials to try and secure the best ending for everyone- But that didn’t happen so things are more complicated now- while I do agree with voting Haruka guilty now rather than later I still believe he’s innocent deep down.

[@zackj6751]

@@voidopall548While I do agree that voting everyone guilty would be better for them in the long run, the problem I can see from this would be that Mikoto alter was not affected by the restraint so he would be able to attack and possibly kill the other prisoners and won't be able to defend against him although we would not have known that he was able to do that. The same can also be said if we voted everyone innocent since I can imagine Kotoko believing that there is no way everyone can be innocent and start attacking people who she deems to be guilty, while also just making everyone think they did nothing wrong with their actions. I do hope there is a way to give everyone the best ending possible at this point but I guess we will find out.

[@clockboi1238]

Honestly I cried at this. Ik im getting into milgram long after this vote ended but i honestly just feel really really bad for haruka. He's obviously way to vulnerable to the judgement of others to be in a scenario like this. I want him to be voted innocent if only just so he can get out of milgram and get help. Like i genuinely really feel for him. Idc if he seems insane or if he's being unreasonable, he deserves a life where he was properly nurtured instead of being put in a spiral where he can only get worse and worse. I love haruka he is my favorite and I really hope he somehow gets a happy ending even if he probably won't since it seems most people think, any kind of hostility = bad and needs to be guilty. And im not even gonna mention the severity of his crime since shidou killed multiple people yet he's apparently innocent because he did it for his wife. Why not haruka who killed one person because he was incredibly misguided and mistreated and driven to a place where he would do anything to be seen? Also he said he didn't know how to feel about it in the video so he's obviously still very impressionable. I love haruka i just want to hug him and tell him that things will be okay (i may relate to him a bit)

[@T3RM1N4llyOffl1n3]

Shidou haven't killed, in his VD it's said that he harvests organs from braindead people without their consent.

[@X0.xoox.0X]

I’m so glad to see others who understand this as well. While its true Shidou was consumed with grief and that surely had to influence his decision making, he was an adult with all of his faculties intact and still capable of critically thinking. He still chose to prioritize his wife over the lives of multiple innocent people, and yet he was forgiven twice now. Meanwhile Haruka is a minor with a developmental disability who lacks proper judgement due to the abuse in his upbringing. Is it really fair to be more lenient with Shidou over Haruka?

And i've felt nothing but regret and disappointment, that we chose THIS path over other ones, and now we can't take it back, because our decision was final... 😢

[@vantom253]

Thanks a lot for the voice drama, this gives me a much better understanding of the characters Haruka is for me personally guilty in the second trial and this voice drama gave me more reasons to why he should be guilty I don't like the thought at all that he thinks what he did was okay. He's emotional very manipulative and his entire way of reasoning and thinking is very wrong for me. This emotional blackmailing by "If I don't get my way I'll kill you / myself" is an insta guilty for me. Huge red flag. Honestly if anyone does this to you, best thing you can do is leave this person.

[@Octavewiththegills]

To be honest I feel like we messed up by voting BOTH Haruka and Mu as guilty. While yeah their both in the wrong with their views we basically dug Haruka into a whole. Even if we tell Mu she’s guilty if she sees Haruka’s verdict switched right along with hers who do yall think she’ll target? I feel like she’ll continue to try to take the blame off herself in any way possible, even if means getting rid of her follower. I feel like this will swing him back to where he started.

[@IzzyD.Anarchy]

It's sad. Even now, Muu is actively keeping him alive, as I heard around that Haruka is not eating, and the only person checking up on him is Muu. So, while he meant by the threat, I think Muu is hoping he doesn't go through with it.

[@Octavewiththegills]

@@IzzyD.Anarchy as far as I know Kazui and Shidou also check up on him (they’re the main one’s keeping the peace so they make it a point check up on everyone based on the interrogations/ QnAs) but Haruka only seems to care about Muu since that’s his “mother”. looking at the others interrogations (Especially Yuno’s) it seems like the others avoidance of the two is out of discomfort of how they when they’re together. Also I’m not quite sure if you heard Muu’s interrogation but she doesn’t care that Haruka threatened to kill himself at all. She even says that she’s not gonna try and stop him because “real friends lets their friends do what they want.” She holds no concern for Haruka in the slightest. Infact in her interrogation instead of agreeing that she should talk to Haruka she instead say “Well it simple, just vote me innocent again and he won’t die.” She is using that boi as a hostage to insure her own freedom. Him dying would also work in her favor. Haruka wants to stay in there forever and she wants to leave. Those conflicting plans are gonna rear its head because Haruka isn’t gonna take so likely to being told she doesn’t wanna stay here would him. The only reason I could see her trying to keep Haruka alive atp is to use him as a scapegoat for her actions and try to make a parallel to why she’s in there (something along the lines of “because people always held me in high regard of course I did bad things, it was to much pressure trying to be perfect. Thats why I started acting so weird, because Haruka treated me just like everyone else”)

[@IzzyD.Anarchy]

@@Octavewiththegills maybe, but if shidou and kazui were really watching over haruka, then both would realize that he is trying to starve himself and would have taken immediate action, but so far there is no evidence that they have, as there is no known interaction between the three during the second trial (check the milgram wiki or the app if you have for portal timeline conversations since there may be more there). Throughout the second trial, Haruka has interacted with a total of two people, Muu and Mikoto. Muu is especially important because she went to him during his birthday and addressed the situation that Haruka has not been eating. Hell, she even brought him food, which is completely antithetical to what she said in her second audio file.

[@Octavewiththegills]

@@IzzyD.Anarchy ok I stand corrected about Kazui and Shidou then. However could there be a possibility that Muu is purposely isolating him from everyone else? Thats usually one of the signs of domestic abuse or forced co-dependency. Idk I’m personally feel like Muu was very serious about not going to stop Haruka. Looking at her personality from the video’s she’s the type to use people for her benefit and turn on others who she views as a obstacle. At this point haruka basically leverage against us to her. I mean yeah of course she wants his attention as well but rn her survival is most important to her so haruka making her life more important then his own works in her favor so why try and stop him?

[@johnj.j.8159]

​@@Octavewiththegills why would muu blame haruka if all of the prisoners know its es who gives out the verdicts like lets think what the guilty prisoners so far have said and they all condemn es's choice to forgive kotoko and don't exactly put all the blame on kotoko like its in no way haruka's fault muu got guilty lmao haruka tried to get innocent for her but its es who chose guilty for both of them and if the voices in their heads say what yall be saying then they know its es also in first voice drama she says that she won't forgive es because of their choice she knows its on es muu blames only rei and not everyone else that bullied her i wonder why... because she just likes to put the blame on everyone am i right? muu wants to stay in the prison - her season 2 5th voice line on the milgram website says so, thats one of the reasons haruka wants to stay in the prison. like i bet in t3 she'll say something about wanting to leave and haruka will echo it haruka chose to isolate himself to focus on his future course of action but if you want to use the argument that "friends should be able to do what they want" wouldn't it fit that - its harukas choice so muu supposedly can't do anything about it but she legit wants him to come out of the cell like are you reading the translations with closed eyes; read haruka's birthday timeline this instant!!
