Lyrics:
If I could laugh, If I could go back
I’d play dead even though I’m alive right?
If I could end, If I could stop
How long would this dream go on
You don’t have to keep it in and hide it away
“I” will save “me”
Snuggle together and say “Good night”
Switch, Shake up that brain
Why am I here? It must be a mistake?
Take a good look at me Until you find me
The truth will come to reveal itself I won’t forgive you if this is happening to me even though I’m right
If I could break it, If I could change
Can I do it, I wonder from when I started to gave up
If I could lose it, If I could choose
Is this selfish? This isn’t too much is it?
The minus energy that I swallowed
Hugged me
Maybe it’s ok to try to keep on living
Split in half, Make that heart beat
Why am I here? It must be a mistake?
Take a good look at me Until you find me
The truth will come to reveal itself I will NEVER forgive you if this is happening to me even though I’m right
All those ridiculous accusations
Hurting it, holding it down, it doesn’t change anything, does it
Ahhh, It’s the same anywhere I go
It’s like what’s wrong isn’t wrong
I’m already the fake one
I’m probably not to blame, It’s probably nothing
I’m probably just having a bad dream, I need to wake up soon
Why am I here? It must be a mistake right?
Take a good look at me Until you find me
Why, hey why, I’m nowhere to be found
So I will NEVER forgive you if this is happening to me even though I’m right
Why, hey why, please let me out of here
Please tell me it’s a mistake, that’s it’s a lie
That I’m right, I’ll forgive you If you tell me now

[@jamespa7193]

I think that if you look at his lyrics and trailer for his next song, the alter is probably very stressed as well. He wants to save Mikoto, it’s not just a psychopathic side of him. It’s a side that probably saw Mikoto struggling, hurting, smoking to cope, and hated it. The alter doubts themselves too, you can see it such as “Maybe it’s ok to live” and such. The alter and Mikoto are struggling together, that’s why he’s in Milgram, he isn’t just a random serial killer.

[@jamespa7193]

Another point I want to add is that this song may be Mikoto’s POV on the situation. Maybe he wants to be innocent, and say his alter is a monster that is disgusting and different from him. That’s why the alter and him have such different sounding parts. Maybe in the next song we’ll get to hear the alters POV.

[@Rio-do2uz]

I think the is it ok to live side is mikotos host And that his “evil” sides the protector (FYI did spouts from really bad trauma so um… alters are usually there to help cope with that trauma) To me his seemingly evil alter looks like he’s aware and tells mikoto that the emotions he’s feeling are ok and I think convinced mikotos host to do it? I think the murder had something to do with his girlfriend especially cause I looked at monopoisoner I can’t tell what the guy he killed actually did to his girlfriend yet but I think he knew the guy personally I doubt his innocent alter is completely innocent too… maybe he’s aware of the crime but thought it was a bad dream , paying attention to his dialogue I got to that conclusion along with the fact people with DID don’t *actually have*multiple people inside their body in vague terms it spouts due to trauma so bad in your youth that your brain starts putting up amnesiac barriers blocking your personality from forming properly. It usually manifests around 6-10 years old… it can’t just go away after the abuse is gone too ,like any other mental disorder. Maybe mikoto was a delinquent ? And that’s why he says stuff like “if I could change”? I don’t know what mikotos trauma was but I know it was no joke so I guess that alter handles most of his emotions he tries to hold back and lashes out… i just pray es is the only child he’s beat up I think there’s 3 parts to his system cause the song has 3 different sounds The heavy sound, soft sound, and then the instrumentals come together I won’t lie it took me a while to realize but I really do think his host commit the murder I could always be wrong though since this is all just a theory I’m think his protector is the most aware of the system and his host just has (an idea of it) some theories I saw said he was recording himself out of fear. And his innocent alter said he stopped smoking actual cigarettes a long time ago. I think mikotos mv shows him in a serial killer perspective because he doesn’t understand that he’s a system along with the fact milgram doesn’t show the crime completely in one video just like how we haven’t seen amanes crime yet despite the fact it was shown in undercover. I’m still voting mikoto guilty for now cause I need more insight on why he commit his crime and him being voted innocent would do more harm than good

[@Nian91131]

from what i know of alter so far (from anime ofc) is that, alter is still a part of someone personality or more like manifestation of something deep inside of someone. So real mikoto looked like being normal while the alter being super aggressive tendency is just separate them completely, if u fuse them together you will just find the usual killer (without alter) they are normal at daily routine but can be aggressive when they want to. So the point is mikoto have alter because he have malice to kill deep inside his heart.

[@jamespa7193]

@@Nian91131 No, anime portrayed that really wrong do not use anime as a source?? It’s a manifestation of the brain being overloaded with stress, fear, and/or emotion. He COULD have malice but looking at his next song it doesn’t look like it.

[@sufferingmeguca7919]

@@Rio-do2uz the cover songs don’t actually mean much and simply encapsulates their personality so for Mikoto, the song’s most likely chosen for him because he’s manipulative(in that he wants everyone to believe he’s this perfect version he’s not) and he says he had a partner so he’s most likely currently single

[@iluVioletLink]

Something I observed: Mikoto is shown to have an ahoge/hairstrand. and John (the official name for his alter that Es assigned to him from the VD) is shown to have no ahoge/no hairstrand in Double. In 0:33 when Mikoto is killing someone off, he's wearing a beanie, and when he's throwing the body + hat in the garbage dumpster, they never show us how Mikoto's hair looks like. I think the creators are trying to conceal the true identity of who committed the crime.

Ay I see new people here in milgram and listen 1.) This isn't about who is guilty or not. All the prisoners all guilty about their crimes. The point here is if you think they should be FORGIVEN for their crimes or not. 2.) THERE ARE NO CORRECT THEORIES! They're theories for a reason, there are 3 trials, this is only the first! Their crimes are extremely vague, we don't have solid clues. What you see on the surface isn't what it seems. Read a lot of theories, don't just stick to one! 3.) If you cannot handle heavy stories, Milgram isn't for you. People might get mad at me for this, but if you guys are upset with this series because the prioners killed someone then- probably don't bother with this series. This is the literal theme of Milgram. They all killed someone, but it's the viewers choice if they want to forgive or not. Anyway have fun!! Oh and! Watch the first videos and jackalope's video first! Then probably watch all the songs in order :D There's a lot to unwrap in milgram, take your time! Don't vote yet if you don't know what you're getting into please! The votes WILL directly affect the ending of the story, we don't know what will happen to them if they're forgiven or not forgiven, so vote wisely :P

[@user-qv2kv6xo4g]

ミコトくんめちゃめちゃ赦さない派が優勢なのでここでひとつコメントを残しておきますね。 自分はタロットカードを中心に考察進めてるんですけどまあ皆さんお察しの通り二重人格やら強いストレスを感じているやらが色んなカードから意味合いを変えてたくさん出てくるわけですよ。 そのうち考察が行き詰まってしまったので母に助けを求めました。 ミルグラムのことは伝えずに「もしも自分が裁判長なら、何人も人をころしてしまったのは確かだが本人は全くその記憶がないと主張する多重人格者を有罪にするか無罪にするか」という内容で。 母はものすごく悩んで有罪にするか無罪かはわからないし決められないけどと、代わりに過去に読んだ本の話をしてくれました。 ビリーミリガンという実際にいた罪を犯した多重人格者の話らしいです。 詳細は見つけられなかったのですが母曰く「記憶にない罪で責められるという強いストレスを主人格に与えて自分が表に出ようと目論む人格がいた」らしいです。 おっと、ミコトのボイスドラマでも似たようなことが起きましたね。 エスが「お前はヒトゴロシだ」と断言した後ミコトは過呼吸を起こし、突如人が変わりエスに襲いかかりました。 また、ミコトは「やめてよ…そんな、嫌なこと言うの…」とも言っています。 「自分はヒトゴロシ」という事実を突きつけられることはミコトにとって強いストレスを感じることだと分かります。 ミコトの中にある人格は ミコトに強いストレスを感じさせて、弱らせて、乗っ取ろうとしてる可能性があるんじゃないでしょうか。 この動画でも片鱗は見せているんですよね。 1:40 辺り。 人をころして帰ってきたミコト。風呂で血を洗い流し歯を磨いています。 ぼーっとした様子で鏡に向き合った直後、はっとした顔になりがっくりするミコト(手前)とそれを見て笑う鏡のミコトが描かれています。 がっくりするミコトと笑うミコトが主人格と別人格だとすると主人格のミコトが弱る様を別人格は喜んでいることになります。 それとタロットカードについてです。 全部書いてるとめちゃくちゃ長くなるので部分的に話しちゃうんですが「吊るされた男｣というカード( ミコトが着ているシャツにプリントされていたり動画で何度か出てくる )に込められた意味として「今の状況は高みに登るための通過儀式だと考えている」というのがあるらしいです。 今の状況(ミルグラムに収監されている)は高みに登る(主人格を退けて別人格が表に出る)ための通過儀式… つまりミコトを赦さない、思想を否定ってちょっとだいぶヤバいんじゃないですかね。 そうじゃなくてもミコトは強いストレスを感じると人格が切り替わり凶暴な方のミコトが出てきちゃうので「思想を否定」というストレスの匂いしかしない行為はめちゃんこにリスキーなんですよね。 もうひとつ。9月2日のユノちゃんの誕生日にミルグラム公式アプリのタイムラインでハルカくんがユノちゃんの誕生日をお祝いする投稿がありました。 ユノちゃん曰く「やっぱ、ハルカちょっと変わったよね？ちょっと声も大きくなってるし、目も合うようになってる」と。 あんなにおどおどしていたハルカくんが、です。 ユノちゃんは好きな女ができたんじゃないかと睨んでいましたが恐らく第一審で赦され、思想を肯定されたことの影響です。 思想を肯定されると囚人達にいい影響があるみたいですね。 では思想を否定されるとどうなるでしょう？ ハルカくんの場合ならもっと塞ぎ込んでしまうかもしれません。 ミコトの場合は最悪ずーっとバーサーカー状態かもしれません。 第二審のことを考えるのが恐ろしいです。 ミコト実は赦した方がいい説、一考の余地はあるんじゃないでしょうか。 長文失礼しました。たぶん読みづらかったと思います。すみません。

Watching this after the second trial makes a lot of sense

[@Wince_Media]

THEORY TIME!: Even though he has a violent alter, Makoto DID commit a murder/crime and is being judged for HIS sins, not his alter's. In the voice drama and the beginning of trial 2, it is shown that Mikoto's alter does not abide by Milgram's rules (such as not being allowed to hit Es), which shows that Milgram sees Mikoto and his alter as two separate people. So if Mikoto was being judged by his alter's actions, shouldn't the situation be reversed? Shouldn't the rules apply to the alter but not to him? This shows that Milgram does see that Mikoto specifically is being judged, not his alter. Secondly, in this song, we can see that he and his alter have different beats. His alter uses a 4:4 beat (verses 1 and 2), while mikoto uses a 3:4 beat (chorus), but notice that after the second verse, the beat stays at 3:4, meaning that the rest of the song is about Mikoto. I do believe that Mikoto genuinely has DID (thats confirmed) but he's using it as a way to shift blame from his crime(s) while he plays ignorant. "See!? I didn't do that! It was my evil alter!" And since he does have DID and a violent alter, people believe him. When voting for Mikoto, do not take his alter's actions into consideration. Mikoto is guilty imo because of Mikoto and no one else.

maybe, probably, he is afraid of his own actions, and of all the possible consequences that they can bring with him, that is why he seems so agitated sometimes, he is afraid of himself ,but he is more scared of the possible punishment)? Maybe also,he is terrifying on admitting his own guilt, his own darkness.

[@PiesAreCircle]

A lot of people are talking about the tarot cards so as a ex-tarot card reading nerd, let me hit you up with my interpretation: So, I realized at 3:23 after his shuffle it was showing a 10 card celtic cross spread starting with the page of pentacles crossing the fool and conveniently, there are exactly 10 from the point The Fool is shown. We can imagine the reading space to be interpreted in two halves. On the left side you have the Wheel and the part where the Celtic Cross gets it's name from. It is what you think of yourself and your personal ongoings. On the right side is the Staff that sees the wheel from afar. This is what the outside thinks of you and thus the impact from the outside world. Then there are two ways we can determine their position in the spread 1) basic flip order of tarot cards which is a bit harder for the left side since people all do it slightly differently (i.e. when they appear on screen) OR 2) based on how they appear relatively on screen. You (Left side) - Present (Center): The Fool 3:20 Problem (The one crossing center): Page of Pentacles 3:22 Past (Left of Center): Five of Swords 3:26 Future (Right of Center): Wheel of Fortune 3:25 Goal (Top of Center): Ace of Cups 3:27 Subconscious (Bottom): Two of Swords 3:23 So obviously, he thinks he's innocent, hence The Fool in the center, but something new has started for him that he can't control (Page of Pentacles). Originally, he felt like what he was doing was just the cost of being right (Five of Swords) but in the back of his mind there's something nagging at him (Two of Swords). He ultimately wants compassion for himself (Ace of Cups) because remember, he thinks he's innocent but eventually, he can't escape fate (Wheel of Fate). The Outside (The Right Side) - You (Bottom): King of Cups (Reversed) 3:29 Outside Factors (Second to Bottom): Five of Wands (Reversed) 3:31 Fears (Second to Top): The Chariot 3:32 Outcome (Top): Death 3:37 I interpret this the persona he puts out is that of a person who feels like his life is out of control. Yet, from the outside people seem to think he's just avoiding the situation. I'm not sure if this is saying he's avoiding by pretending or if it's a case of someone creating another personality in order to avoid what had happened. In any case, he's afraid of moving forward, hence the Chariot in his fears and the fact that by the end he punches the viewer for digging into his mind for too long. Ultimately, things will change drastically for him. HOWEVER. And this is a huge however. His actual spread might be slightly different. If you pause a 1:14 you can see another spread which tells a little bit of a more disgusting story: You - Present: The Hanged Man (Reversed) Problem: Queen of Swords (Direction unknown since it isn't shown beside this moment) Past: Wheel of Fortune (Reversed) Future: Five of Swords Goal: Ace of Cups Subconscious: Ten of Wands (Reversed) This spread seems to infer that he knew what he was doing (Queen of Swords) when he killed someone for no real reason (Hanged Man). He had been over burdened (Ten of Wands) when he suddenly lashed out (Wheel of Fortune) but he liked the way it felt (Ace of Cups) and will do anything in the future to keep doing it (Five of Swords). The Outside - You: King of Cups (Reversed) Outside Factors: Five of Wands (Reversed) Fears: The Magician Outcome: The Devil How he is viewed is basically the same since those don't change but his fears and outcome did change. From this I view it as his fear being realized as someone who is stronger/knows more than he lets on but in the future he will be addicted... to killing... Random Bits and details: (Edited) I think the reason he's wearing "The Hanged Man, Reversed" which is labelled on his shirt since the first time he's on screen is because he's trying to give the impression that choosing him as guilty is a mistake by calling himself a pointless sacrifice instead of the actual person he killed. At 0:44 and 0:47 you can actually see "The Fool" sitting in his apartment, almost as if he can manipulate it to show you that this is him and thus the second tarot card spread I believe is faked. On his single card draw at 1:16 he draws a blank which very few people use because it literally just means you are not meant to know at this time... A cop out if I've ever heard of one. My friend also pointed out to me that being overworked and snapping aligns with his screenshot in Undercover at 2:11 where he is literally sleeping at his desk with a redbull and coffee like he was trying to pull an allnighter at work.

[@kayasaki]

Woooww thank you for blessing us with your existence and for taking your time writing all of this. This is a lot of information to swallow and a lot of *important* details that meant to be "coded" with the cards. Especially when you said "but he liked the way it felt (Ace of Cups) and will do anything in the future to keep doing it (Five of Swords)." "In the future he will be addicted to killing" So even if he thinks of himself as innocent rn he will keep on looking for the "wrong ppl" as an excuse to kill them and "be good" to society by "cleaning" the bad guys out of town. I really liked your theory when you said "it might be the creators idea to threaten the viewers to keep him alive" and they even made him good looking and add the option to vote innocent prisoners you favor. Maybe there is something upcoming in the future. I'm new to milgram, discovered his song yesterday by accident and I'm really happy about this accident 😂 I'm still think about the other music videos I've seen and can't wait for the other songs. I've heard that milgram is coming back this July so I hope I'll be able to participate live this time. Thanks again for everything. Wish you all the best 💕

I think he just lies to himself and pretends that he's innocent. He created a whole innocent persona and happy place to get away from real life. It's probably a defense mechanism or escapism. Seems like he eventually realizes he can't run away from being a murderer, so he just freaks out. His happy place becomes bloody and dark, which shows that even his innocent self isn't really innocent at all. He definitely doesn't have DID and he's definitely guilty lol. Edit: People are saying he might have dissociative amnesia and I think that makes a lot of sense! There's a scene where you can see cctv footage (2:36) and I feel like the reason for this is bc Mikoto doesn't fully remember what he did wrong and feels the need to watch himself everyday. Maybe after seeing something messed up in the footage, he remembers he's a murderer? And once he remembers, his fake persona becomes ruined and he starts to question everything. The lyrics after this scene start to make a lot of sense now. It also explains why the happy place Mikoto turns evil at the end.

The thing people seem to be forgetting is that it is canon that every character is guilty, in one way or another. The PVs are shown for viewers to decide if you forgive them for whatever "crime" they commit, or not. This is only the first ones too, the eventual outcome of the voting will most likely impact what else we'll be seeing in upcoming PVs

[@idolside7619]

I agree but typically with how lyrics and poems are written, the final word is the one with the most emphasis. Mikoto's personality throughout trial 1 seems to never really cares about others deeply. I think that's a part of the reason why the creators and translators decided to have it end the line with "I'm right" instead of anything else. Mikoto is quite determined that he is in the right. And if you do not believe in the DID theory, it helps show Mikoto slipping up. Showing his true side. (Although, I believe in the DID theory lol.)

Mikoto’s Milgram interrogation questions. (His speech style alternates every couple of questions) 1. Family? “My mother and me and my little sister. She’s in high school, the springtime of her life” 2. Do you have baseball experience? “I played in high school. It’s not like I’m good at it, but I still swing a bat when I have a bad day at work” 3. Have you ever had a partner? “Hey, of course I have. Do I look that unpopular?” 4. Are you particular about fashion? “Obviously. Who would want to depend on an unfashionable designer?” 5. Do you like drawing? “I do, but I’m not good. My department in art school was more academic, and drawing was a bare minimum. Not all designers are drawers!” 6. Tell me what you hate. "Pulling an all-nighter for work/reptiles/violence" 7. Hobbies? “Shopping/darts/taking photos/biking” 8. What makes your job worthwhile? “It’s the best advertising agency in the whole industry, you know? Just being in it’s awesome. I worked quite hard to get in” 9. Why do you call people by nicknames? “I think I learned to do that in uni. A nickname used by only me ‘works’ with some people. I recommend it” 10. Do you ever feel anger towards others? “I don’t think I ever have. It’s kind of ugly to get mad” 11. Are you the kind of person who's very considerate of others? "I am. That's what being an adult is. Working comfortably is all about communication" 12. How do you commute? "Road bike. It's one of my hobbies, and good for exercising. Not having to worry about the final train has its ups and downs" 13. Do you ever forget things? “Uhh. I think I often do these days” 14. Where do you think you'll be in ten years? "I hope I can create my own design company. Freedom, you know" 15. Do you really have no idea about having murdered someone? "I said I don't! Aren't you being too persistent?" 16. Do you get along with your parents? "They're divorced. I do well with my mother who raised me. Can't make her worried" 17. Do you smoke? "An e-cigarette. I smoked normal ones before, but put them away after getting a job" 18. Favorite food? "horse meat sashimi/pasta/bubble tea" 19. Do you believe in God? "I don't. I wouldn't go as far as denial. But you know, there's no practicality" 20. Morning or night person? “I used to be a super night owl, but these days I go to bed pretty quickly”

HAPPY 7 MIL KITTEN

[@dontnoticeme9549]

I believe the "Real Mikoto", or the original one, is the killer. The guilt of what he's done was too much to deal with for him, so he created a false persona of "Nice Mikoto", that does not remember anything that has happened and doesn't have to deal with all of the emotional baggage. In the beginning of the song, after he was done with the murder and sits done on his couch, his face is completely empty, like he doesn't want to think about what had just happened, and he immediately switches to "Nice Mikoto". It looks like it wasn't the first time he's done this. The MV switches to Nice Mikoto, who is not aware of anything that has happened, and fully believes he is innocent. He shows signs of confusion, asking "Why am I here" I think he was already starting to suspect something is wrong, at that point. We return right back to the real Mikoto, commiting another murder, talking about how much he wishes he could change and lose the memories of what he's done. later, we see him looking at the mirror, seeing nice Mikoto. He switches to him, and Nice Mikoto is disturbed by what he sees in the mirror. He questions his whole reality, starts realizing what is happening and that he is "The fake one". It seems like, to confirm this, he put up security cameras in his room to stalk the "evil Mikoto". Even though he is faced with the evidence right before his eyes, Nice Mikoto refuses to accept it, and insists that he is innocent, that this is all just a bad dream, that all of this is a mistake. No idea what's happening at the end tho, lmao.

@@dontnoticeme9549 I think this is true because the PV is an extraction of his OWN mental image

[@yo...]

I think he is just strongly convincing himself that he has not fault even if very internally he knows he did it, but he doesn't accept it. Or that he has amnesia of the traumatic experience. Explanation edit: (sorry for my bad English) I don't know enough about DID to talk about it but for me this song seems more like the 'good' and the 'bad' he are the same. The 'bad' feeling guilty and the 'good' holding down his 'bad part'. But he thinks of himself like two different 'he' that's literally the name of the song "MeMe". Explanation of what I understood: At the start he says that: even if he could, would he have not done dose things? (expressed like he was talking as he was other person) So he express he feels guilty but would probably not stop. When he says "'I' will save 'me'" 0:43 is like he is going to do something to not feel guilty and says "switch" then he changes of scene. In that scene is the only part where he seems genuinely innocent but has the 'truth' (the tarot cards) in front of him. The part of 1:18 he is (the 'bad' one) clearly feeling bad of what he is doing, and decides to split in two the part of him that feels guilty and the part that wants to do that. But he is the same person there. In the minute 2:13 he seems surprised because he 'found' the truth and express that even if he tries to stop "Hurting it, holding it down" he always ends making something bad. In 2:47 is just a sequence of words of he convincing himself he did nothing wrong after "realizing" his lies. Finally in 3:02 he is lying, his face seems fake and then converts in the other 'he' when he snap his fingers, but the other he is smiling as and talking as he was innocent, meaning he created the false one. To me it seems like through all the song he actually knows the truth, or he always knew it or that he has dissociative amnesia but by minute 2:23 already remembered and is lying to himself.

I find it very curious how the other characters have clearly redeeming qualities and are arguably very much not in fault for their crimes while Mikoto's song paints him in such a brutal light (a straight up murderer who is (if you don't believe in the DID theory) a master manipulator).

I saw a comment saying he might have untreated sundowner sydrome which seems more playsible because he only murders in the dark. Some symptoms are also memory loss and brutality in the night or anger issues in the dark.

@@creamtoned Yeah 🥲 sadge. Tbh, if they use DID for this then I really hope they use it accordingly and not as a stereotype. Could be fascinating if it was a persecutor before. Would be nice to see Mikotos trauma and why exactly his brain developed this way. Because if used wisely it could still be good. It could battle our moral judgement knowing it's just one Alter that's aggressive

[@creamtoned]

@@Naynin it's not a bad thing, theyve written it quite well so far and it was my first assumption when i saw his mv. they're definitely breaking the mold on how it works and i do believe theyre going to do more than "evil alter who kills people" with it, which i appreciate. so far i think theyve done well with it. i do agree that id like to see what caused it, however my friend has a theory that his parents are divorced / the marriage was not happy between his parents, and he split to cope with it, and that his alters almost work like a marriage structure. some evidence is the fact that his bday cake literally looks like a wedding cake.

[@creamtoned]

i wouldnt be surprised if his father is abusive/violent and that not only gave him DID, but also influenced his persecutor alter

[@Some__Guy]

So as someone who just googled how tarot works, let's see if I can't dissect what that tarot fortune reading thing works. So he's using a Celtic Cross Tarot spread, which is apparently the most common layout. Good start. I'm also going to assume he's drawing for himself, judging by the direction the spread is laid out in (pictures I find usually have the line of four cards on the right) First card is The Fool upright which is usually a new beginning, innocence, naive, trusting, etc. The first card usually acts as a representation for the person having their fortune read. Second card represents possible conflicts or obstacles for the subject, and is criss-crossed with the first. The Page of Pentacles (assuming it's reversed here) can represent rebellion, money problems, boredom and wastefulness, jealousy, and poor choices. Third card represents the distant past of the subject, and looks to be the Two of Swords reversed. So in his distant past, there was a hard decision that he had to made that resulted in a big change. Fourth card represents the recent past that might still be influencing the subject. The wheel of fortune upright represents good luck, opportunity for positive change, and the start or end of a phase. Fifth card represents influences that are likely to occur in the near future. The five of swords upright can represent competition, betrayal, manipulation, winning at a cost, or picking up the pieces. Sixth card represents fate or destiny, and will almost certainly come to pass in the coming future. Ace of Cups upright represents renewed and plentiful emotions, usually happiness, love, creativity, and compassion. Seventh card represents the subject's current state of mind. King of Cups reversed represents dishonesty, bad advice, manipulation, and scheming. Eighth card represents outside influences on the subject, usually family members, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Assuming that bats are wands, then this is the Five of Wands reversed. This can represent internal conflict or the avoidance of conflict, being overwhelmed, passive-aggression, and unhealthy competition. Ninth card represents the subject's own hopes and fears. The chariot upright represents courage and willpower, control, inner struggles, balancing emotions, and progress. Tenth card represents the final outcome of the reading. Not the final say, but a heavy influence. Death upright represents endings and conclusion, being reborn, new beginnings. it can represent purging something negative, allowing yourself to grieve, or being liberated.

So hear me out. He doesn't have a split personality. I've rewatched this video too many times to count and I realized something. These videos are meant to be symbolic of the prisoner's emotions, memories, and thoughts. The innocent personality we see in the video is just a representation of his outward lying persona he's showing in public. At the end of the video he says he'll forgive us if we say he's innocent while showing us the Death tarrot card, before punching us right in the face. He's threatening the viewers that if we don't mark him as innocent he's going to make sure he's not the only one that's gonna die.

[@asukaay10]

Have you checked out the voice drama? I really don‘t like the DID theory and I think your theory is better but I think the voice drama supports the split personality theory...

[@yumeyumedi]

FINALLY I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TOO!! Tho is really hard to believe it because of the voice drama but i believe he is still faking his personality, i think he does have angry issues and thats why he attacked Es, he wont have problem lying to the other prisoners because theyre all passive in some sort of senses, while Es is being "annoying" to him but i do believe the personality split theory more

genuinely i love MeMe mv so much and like I know it has the most views and all so it's not underrated but it makes me sad that when ppl think about MeMe mv they only associate it with shirtless mikoto and ppl thirsting over him because like. it is so good, the amount of details, the colors, the TAROT CARDS (we can learn so much from them actually thetes so many readings and interpretations please), the amount of symbolism is so good. I could say similsr thing about other milgram mvs bevause they are all so good and full of details but ngl this one is definitely my favourite and just makes me feel so many things. The final scenes are so good, like when the color's are mixing and everything gets so chaptic and messy and it represenrs stuff thatz going on in mikoto's mind so well, the way it shows how the like between what's subconcious and what's not blurres, his expression and despeeation to believe that he is right because if he realizes and accepts the truth his life will literally fall apart (and he's already super broken, like he must have an extreme childhood trauma bc its what causes DID but even without considering this, mikoto is a chronic people pleaser who overworks himself, lives in constant anxiety, changes himself to feel accepted and defines himself by his job) idk I love Mikoto, I love MeMe and MeMe's mv and im so tired of people thinking about these only as the "hot guy with psychopathic alter video!!" like. ugh. (no I absolutely dont consider his alter psychopathic or in ang other way evil. Im just reapeating what ppl say and yeah that's another things that absolutely angers me)

[@sasukexsm]

THIS!! it angers me how people see mikoto as this 'hot dude with an evil alter' and dont pay attention to his character at all. they also see DID as a disorder with a good alter and a bad one, when it really isnt all about that .. i think mikoto is actually a well written character that deserves more appreciation than just "OMGG HOT", hes so cool im vry insane about him

[@aldarara09]

@@sasukexsm YEAH EXACTLY like even though there's many things we dont know about him yet, we still know pretty much, enough to make detailed anyzysis, but people like to ignore most of his character and it makes me so annoyed and sad ngl

[@sasukexsm]

​@@aldarara09sameee i wish they paid attention to other things abt him!! its really annoying

[@willowtea3267]

i just got into this fandom and my GOD i think his music video is one of my favorites(cat, magic, and throw down are also with it) not just due to me liking songs with dramatic changes(doesn't help i also like metal), but with how intriguing the usage of color is and the tarot deck and how you can tell he's probably demonizing himself and goodness it's good video. i wanted to look to see if there was anyone else analyzing it especially since his t2 video is coming out in like two months and it's very tiring to see all the people just calling him hot and that's it.

I think that Mikoto has a condition known as Sundowners ie the reason he murderers at dark and doesn't know what's happening during the day. Sundowner's syndrome, also called sundowning or late-day confusion, is a group of symptoms that occur in someone with memory loss that can start around late afternoon and continue into the night.

Now that I think about it, it must have been developed after he started working days. He did say in one of his interview questions that he used to be a night person.
