Lyrics:
Magic
This happy pinky promise hurts to break
They said it more than enough
It’s the sorry spells
But it’s not scary at all, because it’s love
I can actually think of it as a good thing, see isn’t it a great thing?
Dear wise one, Am I worthy?
Is it ok to spoil myself?
I promise! A pinky promise is a pinky promise!
Even I can say "I'm sorry"
Even I have hope
I swear! I'm going to be a good girl now! That's it!
Not meaning to brag but I’m pretty happy
I’ve made up my mind so they don’t make that face at me again
But it’s not scary at all, because it’s love
I can really think it’s great. See isn’t it a great thing?
Dear wise one, Is this ok?
Is it ok to be weak sometimes?
I promise! A good girl that keeps a promise is like, mwah!
I won’t say “I’ve had enough”
Will you laugh with me and forgive me?
I promise! I can only become a better girl!
Only if, only if, only if I could be a good girl
I hope, I hope everyone can be happy and smile
Forever, forever together would be a dream
Dear wise one, Am I worthy?
Is it ok to spoil myself?
I promise! A pinky promise is a pinky promise!
Even I can say "I'm sorry"
Even I have hope
I swear! I'm going to be a good girl now! That's it!
Dear wise one, Is this ok?
Is it ok to be weak sometimes?
I promise! A good girl that keeps a promise is like, mwah!
I won’t say “I’ve had enough”
Will you laugh with me and forgive me?
I take an oath! I can only become a better girl!

In the Milgram app and Twitter, Amane answered 20 interrogation questions: 1. What are you good at? "Nothing that I can call a talent. Perhaps studying. I do well in my Japanese class." 2. Who do you admire? "My father. My father has been on a journey for a while, but that is something very honorable." 3. What would you do if you will be forgiven no matter what? "Nothing really. I am not lacking anything." 4. Is your family proud of you? "Of course. No daughter is as exemplary as I. 5. What would you want to ride in an amusement park? "That is a place I should not go to." 6. Difference between a grown-up and a child? "There is no borderline there. I think there are grown-up children and childish grown-ups." 7. Do you love yourself? "I have never considered it from the perspective of love and hate, but I do think I am a good child." 8. Which would you prioritize, morals or emotions? "Both are trivial." 9. Family? "It was my father, my mother, and I." 10. Any prisoners you are close with? "If I were to say, I guess it would be Yuno and Mahiru"

[@user-gy9vo8ql7e]

11. Favorite type of meat? "I do not eat meat." 12. What is the meaning of life? "I think it is something you learn for the first time when you look behind yourself when it ends. I do not want to have regrets then, so I live on with all my might." 13. Who do you want to meet right now? "My father. I want him to praise me for working hard." 14. Do you listen to music? "Not really to songs that are highly entertaining." 15. When do you wake up/go to bed? "I go to sleep at 9PM, and wake up at 6AM." 16. Do you believe in past existences and fortune-telling? "Although there are many fake ones." 17. What would you do if the world ends tomorrow? "If everything ends? Then, I might do all sorts of things I have never done before." 18. Do you regret your "murder"? "No. It was a natural obligation." 19. Do you want to be forgiven? "Of course. I anticipate that you will make the right judgment." 20. Any complaints about being imprisoned? "No. Because this is a trial by God."

[@hello--hello]

i think her answer to number 8 is really interesting. she says that both morals and emotions are trivial. while i understand why she thinks emotions are, saying morals are trivial is more curious to me. i kind of thought that she thought what she's done is right. that 'god's' ((really, what the cult tells her are his rules)) rules are her moral system, that he is moral, and therefore she is, and she's done what she must because it is right. but she thinks morals are trivial. so, if it was not a moral obligation that she had to commit murder for, perhaps she believes that the cult and her murder are amoral. they are wrong, but they are *necessary*. am i making sense? idk. it's just that a lot of fundamentalists and religious extremists hold onto what 'god has said' for the direction of their entire life. he is the ultimate good, the ultimate 'right', the ultimate 'just', and they must live by that because that's what's right. but she doesn't care about what's 'right' in a moral sense. it's just a thought, idk. ALSOOO, she's close with yuno? the leading theory for yuno rn is that she got an abortion, which religious people *normally* find to be sinful in nature. it could be that she just doesn't know about yuno's crime, or maybe it's that yuno didn't get an abortion, or even that amane's cult isn't pro-birth. -which might make sense because they had a kid kill someone, but i digress-

[@amedaishouri9975]

So there are quite a few theories for Amane going around, and a lot of it is scattered information, but I wanted to post something with what I’ve interpreted from the music video and lyrics as well as pose my own theory. The one that came to mind immediately was the fixation on the cult aspect because that’s all I had seen before the official MV and song’s release. I still believe that the cult plays a large role in this, for reasons I will disclose below, but after watching the music video I’m starting to think that the magical girl aesthetic plays a larger role than simply being a metaphor for how Amane feels about the cult. In short, I believe that Amane is acting as the poster child for the cult and they’re even televising their “teachings” under the guise of a children’s show. There seem to be a lot of elements to me that indicate that everything is staged (for one, the stage light that “accidentally” falls at 1:34) as well as the fact that there is an intro and an outro that are reminiscent of children shows I used to watch when I was younger (the first one that came to mind being Yo Gabba Gabba). The video continues onto a character introduction sequence--the first one is Gachata, the Strict Robot. Gachata seems to be a teacher of sorts that teaches kids how to behave “properly,” which wouldn’t be too out of place in a kid’s show. He seems to place a heavy emphasis on waking up early, attending to one’s studies diligently, and also keeping things tidy. The next character to be introduced is Yuri, the Compassionate Big Bro, who seems to be playing the role of a beggar asking for donations--and as seen in the music video he receives quite a few donations. This represents the underhanded methods that the cult may employ to get money from unsuspecting individuals, but it also could represent the donations that come from others who have been indoctrinated. (It’s important to take note of the animals that appear in this sequence). The sequence after Yuri’s intro is a scene that appears to be reminiscent of a Japanese game show where they are asking Amane for the “right answer,” and she evidently gets it wrong and she is then punished by Gachata who flicks her forehead and causes her to fall over comically. This means that Amane continuously minimizes the punishments she receives by seeing them as nothing more than light admonishments even though they likely went beyond what is normal when scolding a child. She is then helped up by who I assume to be Yuri (based on the white glove and five fingers), which seems like the fifth stage of cult indoctrination. They’re giving Amane “tough love” by punishing her and then being kind to her afterward once she learns to “be a good girl.” If that’s the case, then it means that Amane wasn’t fully indoctrinated into the cult, but I’ll cover its relevance later. After this, Gozake, the Strange Monk, is introduced and his role appears to be as the spiritual leader--the one who spreads the teachings and ideology within the cult. I hope you remembered the animals from Yuri’s sequence because if you’re paying close attention another animal seems to have joined--one who hasn’t donated to the cult--an orange cat. Then, Riyome, the Energetic Tomboy, gets an intro card, but no role afterward (although based on her bandaid design we could be led to believe that she’s a healer of sorts). However, instead of her helping those who are injured the next sequence that plays is the stage light falling on top of the orange cat. Here, I believe that Riyome’s role is much more sinister than the previous characters. After all, the cult has to spread their teachings, and what could possibly be more convincing than a live demonstration of their teachings? Just in case you didn't know, stage lights are pretty darn secure. They don’t suddenly fall like that unless they’re simply that old, but they’re often checked and tested _before_ anyone gets near them which means that the stage light was likely sabotaged, by who? Of course, you’ve probably guessed it by now, but it was likely Riyome. This is further evidenced by the fact that she conveniently manages to bring up one of the cult’s teachings--that spiritual medicine and guidance are all that is required to heal physical afflictions. This is where Amane not being fully indoctrinated comes into play. For the first time (that we see), Amane seems to doubt their words. She watched as the cat suffered and wondered if this was really something that could be solved by praying and wishing for better health (1:52). The next scene that plays is absolutely heart-wrenching. Amane heals the cat using actual medicine, you know, science and not some spiritual prayer. The four characters from before catch Amane just as she seems to be trying to convince the cat to keep what she did a secret which is why both of them are so shocked to be found. Some look disappointed, others (looking at you Riyome & Gachata) are downright terrifying. Then, we see a sequence of Amane receiving different punishments from each of the characters--a majority of them corporal punishments. First is Riyome, who appears to be electrocuting Amane, which, when considering her role in the cult (setting up “accidents” where people get hurt so that they can be magically healed through prayer and if they don’t get healed then they just didn’t believe hard enough) isn’t too surprising. Next, is Gozake which reminds me of the old tradition where monks would meditate under ice-cold waterfalls, he may have repeatedly poured ice-cold water on Amane to replicate this. Next, is Yuri, the supposed “Compassionate Big Bro” who seems to have no problem raising his hand against Amane and physically hitting her (extended arm and comic book effects often used when striking). Finally, we see Gachata who seems to be ringing the alarm that is too loud for Amane, representative of the fact that he verbally scolds her for her actions. I imagine that while this happens they try to push the blame onto Amane, that the reason she’s suffering is because _she_ broke a promise and wasn’t a good girl. And as the sequence would have us believe...they don’t punish her just once, they repeat until she’s been completely brainwashed and accepting of the cult’s teachings. This is evidenced in the following scene where Amane picks herself up and clasps her hands together in prayer before undergoing a “magical girl” transformation. There are rings around her eyes that weren’t there before, she gets a “magic wand,” her bowtie changes to a brooch of sorts with the cult’s symbol (a cloud with what appear to be smiling faces on it), and wings in the shape of a cloud appear behind her. Then, we see Amane’s crime take place--but only for a second (2:47). She raises the “magic wand” and administers divine punishment on the non-believer (the cat she helped from earlier) while the four characters watch and cheer her on. As we can see from Undercover, Amane appears to be beating her victim with a rod, and her voice line when committing her crime is, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for breaking the rules!” The next sequence that plays is Amane fully accepting her role and spreading the cult’s teachings while saying things like, “I won’t say ‘I’ve had enough [of this cult].’ Will you laugh with me and forgive me?” And behind her singing, you can hear Amane practically begging them to forgive her (2:56-3:03). And then the outro plays and we can see the credits roll--evidently, Amane’s title is “Happiness Support Sister.” So, overall, the video is a happy fun time where nothing goes wrong! /s With the information we have, I can’t see Amane as anything _but_ innocent, if anything she’s a victim as well. However, I can’t help but worry that if we vote her innocent it would only solidify her belief that what the cult had her do was the “right” thing to do. What do you guys think?

[@thefallenblue]

this is an interesting interpretation! and a good point I didn't think about at first, I wonder if voting her innocent will make her think her actions were okay... though I don't feel right putting all the blame on her for this either, since y'know... the straight up horrifying manipulation and abuse ;; I guess this is another reminder that this binary voting system is set up to be full of holes in the first place. We don't even know where voting either will lead, but we're in for the ride I suppose. what does the shifty rabbit want with us...

[@ruthalcantara3251]

Ahaha I love your theory and it’s so sad, but I do agree with you that She probably would end up going back into the cult and going through the cycle of abuse. Even thought I wanted to vote for her, but it might be better for her to stay in prison then go back.

[@thefallenblue]

@@ruthalcantara3251 Yeah... that's the thing, as with many of the trials the answer we're forced to make won't fix most of them. What does forgive mean? Are we setting them free? They don't have to atone for what they did? Because they are all essentially guilty of what happened. But what is not forgiving them, the death penalty? Life in prison/Milgram? If we look at it one way that won't solve it or be fair. Many of these characters need therapy, or the degree of their crime isn't only their fault, do they deserve to die on behalf of everything that happened? Like here, I agree, I'm so afraid she might be broken after all that but it's also not her fault, is leaving a child in prison okay? Or giving her the death penalty for this? If anything someone needs to go after that "cult" before they cause more problems... but I'm just rambling, this system was never stated to be fair haha. In the end the vote is your choice, we can only see how this goes and appreciate the amazing songs and animation along the way. It's interesting to think about how Milgram itself ties into this, I wonder how much we'll find out in the future

[@amedaishouri9975]

@@thefallenblue Yeah, I think that with a lot of these characters receiving _proper_ help and therapy is better than something like the death penalty/remaining in the MILGRAM (jail) forever or they get to go off scot-free.

I am interested to see what happens as a result of our voting in the second round of trials.

@@amedaishouri9975 since Milgram itself is the name of a psychology experiment I have the same feeling, and Es and the Jackalope are huge mysteries as well. Though, I'm also very curious to see the consequences of our actions. Just two prisoners left already hmm...

[@dia4657]

My theory is that Amane grew up in a cult akin to that of Happy Science (幸福の科学). She grew up in this cult and was forced to be a child actor to recruit more members for this cult in particular. [To provide some background context, Happy Science (also known as The Institute for Research in Human Happiness) is one of many new spiritual movements in Japan. However, this particular cult has connections within the entertainment industry. Some of the members joined through the influence of their parents at a young age, such as the case of actor Fumika Shimizu.] Mow, in terms of cast members, the main five are as follows: ハピネス応援おねえさん - ももせあまね Happiness Support Sister Momose Amane-The protagonist of the show. まさじめロボット - ガチャタ Serious Robot Gachata -Amane’s Father 思いやり兄さん ユウリ Compassionate Older Brother Yuuri-Amane’s Older Brother 不思議なお祈り屋さん ゴザケ Mysterious Monk Gozake-Amane’s Religion Teacher すこやかおてんば姫 リヨネ Healthy Tomboy Riyone-Perhaps a high priestess within the cult? 0:24 - The first one we meet is Gachata, who acts that as a teacher to Amane. Notice in all three images shown during Gachata’s section, the person is depicted to be smiling. 0:40 - The second we meet is Yuuri, the older brother character of the show. He wears a donation box with a smiling cloud placed on it. Coins are put into the box before it becomes over flooded with money. (Could be referring to people donating to the organization.) 1:16 - We meet the monk Gozake, who acts as the religious teacher of the show. In his section, he teaches Amane to sing and is joined by four other child co-stars. 1:32 - Finally, we meet Riyone. She doesn’t have a specific part in the show. However, due to the bandages on her character, she might be a priestess involved with the cult that prays for people who are sick and unhappy. 1:42 - An accident occurs, injuring one of the co-stars. Riyone joins in, reminding the others that praying is the only way for the injured person to truly get better. Amane starts to realize that this isn’t the case; that she can do something to help them. This is why she takes it upon herself to help them. 2:08 - Judging by this scene in particular, she knows she isn’t supposed to be helping them out like this, which is why she asks them to keep it a secret. However, it is in vain, as she is discovered anyway. This leads to 2:15, where it’s implied she was abused as punishment for her actions. “Only if I could be a good girl.” is most likely referring to her breaking the rules of the group to help someone, and views herself as a bad child. All of this builds into the line of 2:32 - “Dear wise one, am I worthy?” She realizes her actions are wrong, and she prays to be able to repent for her mistakes. She broke the rules of the group and has to pray in order to be forgiven by god. This is when she decides that the only way to repent is by removing the problem itself. (An interesting note at 2:40, this is the only time in the MV where her eyes are no longer hollow, for a lack of better words. This could be referring to her achieving happiness or being completely brainwashed into believing so.) At this point, she fully endorses the cult and embraces the nature of the happiness they’ve been trying to spread, thus leading to her transformation (into a magical girl) and reconciliation with the rest of the cast. We are now at the end of the video, at 3:21. Amane seems to be watching what appears to be the show in question, now with deadpan eyes. She is traumatized by the events that occurred. Now, in terms of the murder in this video, I believe it's heavily implied to be one of the extras, in this case, the cat that got injured. This is why the cat is not seen present at 3:10 with the rest of the extra characters, they are now deceased. The motive behind this was heavily related to the abuse she suffered after helping the cat after the stage light accident. This leads to the line of her yelling “I’m sorry! I’m sorry for breaking the rules!” in her voice teaser video. The murder was an act of repentance for breaking the rules.

[@dia4657]

take this all with a grain of salt tho this is just my personal take on what happened

[@starpeep5769]

Fun fact: yuuri can mean profitable

[@reinstancedump3931]

HELLO AFTER RELEASE THEORY I think it's extremely obvious that the robots were trying to tell amane what they're doing is love (out of religion), the robots represent fake animals, which means fake love. Whenever she approaches a "real animal" she gets punished, because she wasn't supposed to find affection and comfort outside of her religion. And at the end, she wanted to be a good girl and killed the person she truly bonded with so she won't get punished anymore.

[@reinstancedump3931]

+ God were supposed to give comfort and religious people are supposed to rely to God. So when she helped the real animal, it's as if showing that you don't need to rely to God for comfort, which is probably why she also gets punished from helping? It's just a theory, but it's possible

[@bonesnatcher]

I’ll drink to that !

[@newrogue5737]

Jesus that's dark... I love it. Also I think the stage light hitting the animal might represent them realising it's all lies as we see more animals gather as if more people are joint the cult.

[@reinstancedump3931]

@Newrogue haha yeah, being in a super religious family myself I can definitely understand what amane is feeling,, to outsiders it doesn't seem scary because you're just doing "religious practices" but it's actually some heavy brainwashing, just sugar-coated with religion :/ oppression and brainwashing towards children is extremely common but never noticed because it's sugar-coated with religion.

Honestly the overall idea that everyone should vote to "Forgive or Not forgive" is tiring Not only Jackelope already said in his mv that you can also just vote for any reasons you like, it's literally been confirmed the verdicts have an actual influence on the characters and their arc. I can garantee you no one ever thought Amane was guilty for being brainwashed by her cult, in fact I remember the votes being at literally 80% innocent back then. The only reason people still voted guilty anyways is because voting innocent might actually enhence her brainwashing. Hell there's literally some character development during her birthday diologue when Shido asks her if she wants cake. Amane is usually cold and acts super serious and hates stuff that she deems "childish" like cake but here it's hinted that it's a façade and that she does actually want cake.

[@monolinny1817]

If this theory is true about her character development, then the guilty verdict must’ve changed her, not only about the brainwashing, but that she cannot break the rules AT ALL (no more wanting sweets) Which could mean no hope in saving her now ;x; (Wish that it’s not the case)

[@user-lv6nc8gf5d]

考察(長文注意) アマネちゃんは小さい時から宗教を信じていて(信じさせられていて)、教理に反することをすると「愛」という名目で罰を受けていて、どんな罰を受けてもその宗教を信じることを「幸せ」と信じていて(信じさせられて)いた。ある時傷を負った人を信者たちが神様のお祈りで直そうとしたけど一向に治らず、見かねたアマネちゃんが手当しようとしたら「神様の力を信じていない」として罰を受けて、その時にその人を見捨ててしまいその人が死んだため、「殺した」ということになった(最後のエンディングのようなシーンに怪我をしていた猫がいなかったため)。 最後の画面をながめるアマネちゃんは、過去のことを振り返り、宗教のせいで何が正しいのか、自分はなんなのかわからなくなったアマネちゃん。また、MVが子供向け番組風で、最後にその番組を見るアマネちゃんがでてくることから、アマネちゃんは子供向け番組を見るくらいの年齢から宗教を信じさせられていて、最後の目が死んでいるアマネちゃんは洗脳されたと考えることもできる。 【追記】今回のMVとは関係ないが、アマネちゃんのランドセルには宗教のシールが貼られているが、それがはがされた跡があり、宗教を信仰していることが理由で学校でいじめられていた可能性がある。

something I think is really interesting is how childish both Amane and Haruka are. Amane makes sense obviously, since she's an actual child. comparatively, Amane's childish imagery is way more colorful. She's a magical girl living in a world of cartoon characters. Haruka has picture books and scribbles overlaying the real world. I don't have anything to say about what that implies, I just think it's neat!! anyways. I really don't see how an abused child could sincerely be "guilty" of her crime.... She's just a baby :(

[@rakshaa1664]

The only thing I'm certain of is that the orange cat died. There are 4 animals that show up several times throughout the song, but only the orange cat is missing at the 'end credits' scene. Whether the robots made Amane kill the cat or they themselves did it, I'm not sure.

[@sipoverish]

Now that I think about it, I never really understood her crime. Maybe the cat represented a person (as their are domestic but can be wild animals), and the robots (cult leaders) made her kill the cat

[@edim8207]

I think that they made Amane do it. They brainwashed her, told her that she broke the promise to their god or smth (maybe even threatened her that the orange cat won't go to heaven because of her or smth similar; or maybe that the cat was the "devil" that made her "stray off the good path" ); they did it until she broke mentally - I think in Undercover you can see her beating someone to death with a bat/plank(?) and she seems to be doing this in the heat of passion. Maybe that's one of the reasons that she has a magical girl transformation at the end - she wants to believe that she just killed an "evil" (or even that "healed" the cat from "evil", that could be smth the cult leaders told her)? She probably had very limited knowledge of the world outside the cult, probably only seeing it through TV/internet/cartoons,(as someone speculated before) so she coped with a whole thing in the only way she could...

One thing I'd like to point out is how the entire video (minus the spotlight falling) is in Amane's fantasy world. We don't see her in the real world till the end. This could mean that she was so far deep into the religion/cult that she didn't view it as 'real' anymore. Since it very much resembles a children's tv show, it's likely that she views her life this way to cope with the abuse her family/other cult members give her. She's viewing it in a way to make it seem okay. The scene at the end is clearly much different than the rest of the video. She looks tired and defeated, probably due to the abuse. But since she doesn't know anything else, she views her life like the tv show and tries her best to be the good girl she's meant to be.

A minor detail I found is that at 2:00, you could hear that the MV switches instrument and uses a church organ, bells, and a choir of people, which further supports that it has something to do with some religious cult. Edit: I would also like to add that a friend of mine told me that one of his friends seemed to have gone into a uncommon religion or cult, and one thing that he told me is that his friend and other childern used to collect money when they were still kids, pretty much acting like beggars and solicitors on the street asking for money (is how his friend described it), and that they would give all that money to their religion because that is their one source of income which can be seen here in 0:43.

[@ranpo_edogawa]

Also someone pointed out in another comment that this whole "educational show" might be a reference to a cult in Japan that controls/makes all the media that the kids of the cult consume. I think the cult was called "Happy Science" or smthn like that. Edit: Yeah its called Happy Science and they also control the education/schools the kids are in as well.

[@ltwezz7733]

Yup! Plus, in 1:18 the mv shows Amane singing, while the animals (Who in my theory are the people that came to the church) listen to her singing. It's pretty common on the churches around here to make kids sing there.

[@cockykhakis6265]

I really don't like how many of the comments are saying that she's guilty bc she... is clearly being manipulated and can't tell that what she's doing is wrong?? How is that. How does that make sense. In the video here, it's depicted as an accident, and that the worst aspect of it all is that she got in trouble. No one here has experienced the autistic child feeling of having done something wrong purely because of people's reactions and trying to avoid doing things that'll make them treat you like that again

0:31 早起き、勉強、片付け など、最初は宗教の色々を交えず普通のいい子として教えている 指切り→約束→宗教の教え 教えを破ると痛い目にあうし、何回もごめんなさいのおまじないを唱えてきたが、その痛い目も愛情だと思って、怖くないしむしろ素敵 0:50 ｢神様 こんなんだっていいですか 私も甘えちゃっていいですか｣ の後に、約束を破らないことを誓っているが、私には｢ちがいます｣と聞こえるしMVにも ❌ の文字があり、甘えはダメで、甘えると痛い目にあうことをさしているのでは そのあとの 誓います は、約束を破らないようないい子になると言う意味で、歌詞のままだと思う 0:55違います 1:03誓います こうして比べてみるとわりとちょっと違いがあるかもしれない 耳が勝手にそう聞こえてるだけかもしれないけど 1:18 やはり幸せだと思っている… それと、この場面はアマネちゃんとほかの子供たち＋宗教の人で、宗教の教えを唱えているも思った ｢またって顔をされないように｣ という歌詞で、また約束を破ったのかと痛い目似合わないように、いい子でいる覚悟を決めた様子っぽい 1:43 猫が怪我をしたところでキャラクターたちが出てくるシーン ガチャタとリヨネは驚いたような顔をしているが心配はしていなさそうだしあまり気にしていなさそう リヨネに至っては想定内って思ってそう ユウリとゴザケは嫌そうで困った顔をしてて、ユウリはガチャタとリヨネよりも感情がありそうで、この後にも書いてあるんだけどあまり宗教のことを信じてなかったのではということも関係してそう（詳しくは下に） ゴザケは嫌そうとか困ってそうっぽい顔をしてはいるけどどことなく面倒くさそうだなって顔みたいだと思った。｢対応に困るなぁ｣とか｢あーあ（適当）｣とか考えてそう。 1:50 リヨネは猫（話上は子供かも）が宗教の教えに反して天罰が下ったと思い、神様に謝ったり願えば怪我が治ると考えている ただ上に書いた通り猫の怪我が想定内であればリヨネが細工して、アマネちゃんがどれほど宗教の事を信じているかを試したり、ただのイタズラで故意であったかもしれない 1:55 そんな猫を見てアマネちゃんは可哀想だと思い、約束、教えを破った猫を助けるが、バレてしまい｢痛い目｣よりもっと｢酷い目｣にあう 2:13 キャラにバレてしまい、怒っている顔をしている だが、ユウリだけやるせない顔をしているのが気になった ユウリだけ服がボロボロなのはアマネちゃん達が父子家庭で宗教にお金を使っているため貧乏だが、ユウリだけ特に貧しい思いにさせられているのではと思った（募金活動もしている） だから、宗教の教えを破ったと言うより なんで自分だけこんな貧乏な思いをしてるんだ という気持ちで殴っていたのかもしれない 加えて、私の見落としかもしれないけどキャラクターたちには雲が2つに重なったようなロゴ、マークが描かれてるが、ユウリには描かれていないからユウリは神様を信じているフリをしていただけかもしれないと思った 前半部分でアマネちゃんに手を差し伸べているのもおそらくユウリなので 2:15 酷い目にあっているシーン ガチャタはアマネちゃんの父で、主にガミガミと叱っている ユウリはアマネちゃんの兄か宗教仲間のお兄さん的な存在で、主に暴行を加えている ゴザケは宗教の中心的な役割やそれに近い人物で、主に水（熱湯？）を浴びせている リヨネは宗教の事を完全に信じきった小さな子で純粋であるがために、主に電気ショック（犬用のスタンガンなど？）を浴びせている 2:31 神様にいい子で居ることを誓うことで、宗教のキャラクターたちは痛い目に合わせることをやめて、｢ちゃんと誓えば神様が助けてくれる｣と思い込ませ、アメとムチで洗脳させている そして神様を完全に信じるように ボイスドラマ｢使徒と死と｣では、この場面で洗脳されたアマネちゃんのヤバさが聞けます かなりの興奮状態で、最終的には丁寧な口ぶりだったはずが エスに対して お前 と呼びます その後キレたエスがアマネちゃんを抑圧したところ急に弱腰になっていて家庭での虐待の様子が伺えます 他に気になったとこ ・アーチが積み石（妖怪の餓鬼）みたいに見える ・天気→お天道様とか雷様みたいな、神様のイメージにされているとか ・アマネちゃん絶対どっかで自己暗示してそうだなと、登場人物が一応かわいいキャラクターたちだから怖いものを可愛く、怖くないものに見立ててたり、教えを破った時の痛い目にあうことを幸せなことって思っていたり、自己暗示か洗脳でありそうだなって思った ・茶色い猫役がアマネちゃんの手当ての後に消えていて、その猫の元である 決まりを破った子供 は、宗教が殺したかアマネちゃんに殺させた のだと思いました ・アマネちゃんが殺したのが茶色い猫役の人でないとこのMVでは誰を殺したのかが不明 ・アンダーカバーのラスサビでは人の上に乗って棒で泣き叫ぶように殴っている ・ユウリとリヨネの立場がどうかで大分変わってくる ユウリは宗教を信じているかそこまででもないか リヨネは大人か子供かで、大人だったらアマネちゃんを試すような行動をしていたり、子供だったら純粋無垢であるうえの狂気だらけだなって思った 他の方がちょいちょい注目してますが、2:57〜 の裏でアマネちゃんが言ってることは歌詞を繰り返しているだけで、CDやサブスクで見れる off voice はその裏で言っている言葉があるのか無いのかの差分です。 そのためラスサビから裏で何かを言っていることは他のキャラにもあります。分かりやすいのはハルカあたりかな アマネちゃんは 赦す 判決を1回下されると、やっぱり神様が！となってしまいそうだからあえて私は赦さないを選択してみた あと1:34の唐突なジャズ風アレンジ好き

起きた物事は神が与えた試練であり、それを自力で乗り越えることが正しい。って教えか。 それをアマネが手助け(治療)したために罰が下される。 世間一般や人の善性としての行動として正しいが、宗教的にはアウト。

0:00に出てくる積石には「道に迷わぬように正しい道へ導く」って意味があるみたいです。 もしかしたらアマネちゃんはいい子でいることが正しさって親に教育（洗脳？）されているからいい子でいようとしているのかな…？

My group of friends theorized over the MV and came up with this: Amane is the mascot of a promotional cult video. The robots (adults) are the creators of the cult. The animals are people she pulled into the cult. The victim is the cat who she helped after the accident. Proof: - Amane is shown watching the promotional video at the end. Her dead eyes suggest she had been brainwashed with this video, and later became the mascot. I place this scene before the MV because of the screen reflecting in her eyes. She's looking at the scene at 0:05 but without Amane in it. It was a prototype promotional video that got her into the cult. 3:22 - The adults tell them prayer will help heal the hurt cat. After they pray and nothing happens, Amane begins to feel doubt. She then helps the cat in secret, telling the cat to not tell the others. But the adults were watching, and begin to punish her. 1:40 - If you take the punishment scene literally, the ways of abuse are very telling. The pink one does shock therapy, the blue one drowns her repeatedly or possibly throws ice cold water on her (?), the yellow/brown one beats her, and the green one brainwashes her. 2:13 This is further proven when afterwards, she stands up with a smile on her face, praying, and her eyes look hypnotized. 2:35 - After her abuse, she seemingly becomes forgiven by the adults/robots, and she becomes even more devoted to the cult. Her outfit changes, and most notably, she gains a wand with a lightning bolt in it. I believe this signifies that she now carries out punishment as well. She is fully a tool of the cult now, with no doubt in her mind anymore. 2:40 - The cat is missing from the credit scenes. This proves she is the victim who Amane killed. 3:15 Other notes: - The credits of the MV/promotional video 3:05 : (credit for translation: twitter.com/wobbuun/status/1383017048876404740 ) Happiness Support Sister Momose Amane Vigorous Tomboy (pink one) Riyone Mysterious Prayer Seller (blue one) Gozake Considerate Brother (yellow one) Yuuri Overserious Robot (green one) Gachata - We believe the pink one doesn't have a big role in the cult, but is very ambitious. The yellow one seems to have doubts about the cult. He is the only one frowning at this scene: 2:14 . He is also the only robot with a real name. The other two are the main backbones. Blue one being the financial leader, while the green one does the brainwashing and teachings. - We also believe the pink one is the one who caused the light to fall on the cat. After each robot is introduced, we are shown their role. The green one is a teacher 0:23 , the yellow one collects donations 0:40 , the blue one is a choir teacher 1:17 , and immediately after the pink one is introduced 1:32 , the light falls on the cat (child), and she says prayer will help heal their wounds. We also believe the blue one was impressed by this, as he is shown a surprised look like, "oh, nice save!" 1:48

[@pinkybeeppy]

those are really really good theories!!!!! but i think that the water on amane means the rain pouring down, since on undercover she is seen on the street with rain? and the green one is meant to represent screaming and cussing, i think the 4 punishments are connected and happening at the same time. idk about shock therapy doe

[@user-hh4cl8ce9p]

The waterfall one could be referring to Zazen, a meditation method under a waterfall, and the blue one is modelled like monks.. So perhaps maybe she was forced to do zazen or some sorts?

[@mitzirocker7026]

Honestly I think the most heartbreaking part of it all is the implication that Amane doesn’t buy it anymore, and is desperately trying to convince herself she still does.

[@ahuman2303]

some points from initial viewing: - child idol on a game show of sorts - abused - The robots are either cult members or her family or her managers - That cat that Amane helped may have been an ex cultist or an actor that has been on that show before

[@darkphoenix9650]

Oh I just realized something, if it's an actor and singing with her it's likely to be a child (since this seems like a children's show and she herself is a child), and imagining it as a child makes it even worse
