@@Keijikink I think John more so apologises for basically getting Mikoto into trouble. also there's the use of 'Ore' just before so I'm inclined to think this was John and not Mikoto.
Pointing out some details that maybe you already know: - The messages from 0:12 to the phone call at 0:18 was from someone called "Chief". I can't read what the first two messages are (since they are very long and I can't see them clearly) but the other two are "Hey, come back" and "Do you intend to ignore/abandon/give up your missions/duties/jobs?" -> The "Chief" was calling Mikoto to "come back" to work (so the first two messages might be about work) => Clearly Mikoto was overworking, and this is also a normal issue in Japan. (also Mikoto''s phone wallpaper is the tarot card "The Hanged Man" on his shirt in "MeMe") - At 0:18 and 1:18, the Japanese words are "Good morning" and it seems that Mikoto also saying "Good morning" at those frames too. - At around 1:19, Mikoto is sitting while his reflection on the window breaking down (sorry if I'm not using the right word). The next scene is Mikoto standing up, holding the baseball bat and smashing the mannequins => The one sitting and then standing up with a bat is John (for anyone who have no ideas who is John, he is Oretoko. John is the name Es gave to him, originally from "John Doe"), and also it's clearly a fact that John was formed from Mikoto's stress (that's why they showed him being stressful). - From 1:49 (Mikoto running), the word showing repeatedly is "Dream", and from 2:02 (John walking), the words are "savior" (there is an arrow pointing at John) and "save you". From 2:17 and 2:20, the words appearing are "Double" and "MeMe", respectively. [There are also a lot of letters (I don't even know if they are letters) that are blurry and unreadable appearing with these words, and some more at some other frames) - At 1:53, there's a pair of red eyes and at 2:17, there's a pair of blue eyes, both looking angry. - The lines, "If only I were never born, if only." "I'm sorry." can be seen as John's lines, showing that he feels guilty and sorry for Mikoto. What he did was to "save Mikoto from breaking", but in the end, what he did was still murdering, and since Mikoto has DID, what John did also affects Mikoto. In the voice drama, Es said something like "What John did is considered a sin" (I don't really think it is to blame Mikoto since the context of the sentence is about "What will happen to Mikoto, legally speaking"). I think John feels guilty for something like dirtying Mikoto's hands. (I am very sorry if what I said here is wrong or offend anyone since I'm still trying to get used to DID related terms and English is not my mother language. Please gently correct me if I'm wrong, thank you very much.) - The mannequins might represent the society, the strangers around Mikoto (and it kind of makes senses since John said he killed "some random strangers walking around"). The mannequins are also the same kind that appeared in "The Hanged Man", and since Mikoto is a designer, mannequins was used for symbolism. Overall the MV was amazing I have literally no words. In the end I just want to hug this poor dude he did so much for his family and his future, he really tried his best. Will forgive him for sure. *I edited it a bit after wandering on Twitter and other comments!

In the end, he realizes that he was moving on the wrong path. Because he wanted to protect his main personality and not be an enemy to him.

Just want to bring up a theory I’ve been interested in lately. Basically it goes that Mikoto and John aren’t the only alters, but there are underdeveloped fragment alters as well. As John is referred to being newly born but DID can’t form in adulthood. But this is rather than the whole theory that there’s a secret 3rd one behind the scenes. Basically from what I’ve heard a fragment is a lesser developed alter that are dedicated to perform specific tasks. And that’s essentially what the mannequins represent, and especially with the shot at the beginning of John standing limp along the mannequins representing how he’s much more fully formed compared to the others. And it’s especially hinted it with his voice line in the trial 2 teaser trailer. Where we hear John screaming at people who are being annoying and threatening to kill them. At first this would seem like it’s referring to what he said in Neoplasm, about killing a bunch of random people who annoyed him. But what he said there was clearly a lie especially how he would’ve immediately been arrested if he did that, and how Mikoto was waiting for a single person to come by at the train station. So then the only explanation I can think of is in that line John isn’t referring to other physical people, but when he was first born referring to the voices of the other fragments. And how he was fearful of them and threatened them and perhaps believing they would hurt Mikoto. It’s also implied that because of this John might’ve repressed them, trying to leave only him and Mikoto (although I’m not sure about the logistics of this). As if the mannequins represent fragments then John killing them in the train could be representative of that, and how he regrets what he did and views his actions as violence. And with him saying “just the two of us, relieved aren’t you?” definitely implies how perhaps he did that to “protect” Mikoto in his own eyes. And when it comes to the physical murder, it’s represented in Double with the mannequin pieces flying outside the train (eg outside of his mind) where interestingly enough John didn’t hit anything himself with the bat. I do think this is interesting though about even if John isn’t the killer physically, what he could’ve done could be considered murder as per milgram tackling topics of wether something can be considered murder or not. And perhaps he wasn’t entirely lying in Neoplasm, but rather twisting the truth or believing that’s what happened.

@@LanieMae Alters or fragments cannot ever disappear, die, etc. It is only possible that they fuse together (you can research fusion/integration of alters if you want, since it's really hard to explain). I doubt John integrated with a bunch of other alters because that would mean he would have to form a strong relationship with them (ex: be able to communicate with them and share similar beliefs and ideals with them) to eventually fuse together into the same person. DID/OSDD are severe trauma disorders. As we are children, we all have ego states. These ego states are different parts of ourself/emotions/needs (ex: one ego state is hungry, one is mad, etc). At ages 6-9, these ego states fuse together to form one personality- but if there is severe trauma, some ego states may disagree (ex: one ego state can think a caregiver is safe and another may think that they're not). At this point, these ego states split further apart and develop different identities. To protect the person in the body, they usually set up amnesiac barriers as well. These alters cannot kill each other because they'd have to physically interact with the brain's chemistry and functioning which is impossible. It's like saying you can freely seperate your personality into ego states and destroy ego states at will, which you cannot do. Sorry for the long explanation!

I'm sorry to break it to you but this isn't the good DID representation you're thinking it is. If you listen to the voice drama the aggressive alter (named John by Es) admits that he's just killing people because he wants to hurt people and take out Mikoto's stress on others. He is definitely not the protective alter you think he is. Yes, he wants to protect Mikoto but from his own (Johns) actions. His argument is that Mikoto didn't commit the crimes so he should not be guilty for them which isn't how systems should work. If one person in a system committed a crime, all of them are responsible. He's definitely guilty.

@@kyebunny66 From another DID system, I'd argue that the milgram team is still giving some justice for this condition, acknowledging the alter roles & the diagnosis. With the way Milgram works, not even the voice drama can be judged at face value 😭😭 Forget the story context though! Like just because the guy with DID is guilty, doesn't mean the show is representing it badly. Probably with this, people can explore the concept of writing a DID character too. Milgram's setup allows you to dissect motives within each character, and with Mikoto even more so. (this is like 3 steps ahead of where we wanted this to go: wanting people to know that people with DID aren't monsters) He could just be a first good critique of media (and us on the internet, regardless of having DID or not) failing to address the consequence of this disorder- somehow we always end up with two extremes: Moon Knight, or Split. In the end, you being an alter cannot exempt your host from consequences. And the host shouldn't hide, glorify, blame or rid their alters out of inconvenience. No superpowers to make you sympathize or idolize him, no sugarcoat, nothing. Just some guy and his alter, with an exaggerated example of consequence (murder).

So about Mikoto’s motive. I’ve seen a lot of people here say that he probably killed someone because he was stressed and lashes out. Or that John killed a bunch of people who annoyed him (which I highly doubt, but I explained that in another comment). So I wanna talk about a theory for why he killed someone which hasn’t been bought up here that often. It’s kinda hard to explain it here but here’s what I think happened. Mikoto was being stalked by someone, as MeMe has alot of motifs of cameras and being watched, and double has alot of eye motifs. I believe this was likely for sxual reasons as there’s lots of fanservice imagery in MeMe, especially when compared to other characters which have none of that imagery (especially Yuno) so why would Mikoto have both that sort of imagery if it’s not important in some way? I think something happened for Mikoto to realise this and possibly due to prexisting trauma he was particularly affected by this. Possibly to the point he felt like something like this could never happen again and attempted to hunt down the stalker and kill them. That’d explain why he had a baseball bat in a scene that looks premeditated. I’m not entirely sure on this but it could also be that he accidentally killed innocent people (or maybe not so innocent, as he killed a gang member) in a quest to find the true stalker. I believe this is what happened to lead Mikoto to kill, but he was so shocked and traumatised by the whole sequence of events that John took over, inheriting all of Mikoto’s memories of what he did and attempting to shift the blame onto himself. Because he’d never want Mikoto to get hurt for his actions, so he started portraying himself as an evil monster that poor innocent Mikoto has to deal with. Again this is just a theory but I feel like it’s interesting to bring up here as I definitely think he has a much more complex motive than “I just did it because I was stressed”. I feel like I might’ve not given the full context of this theory so I’d recommend checking out the original theory that was made for this which is a comment on the trailer video for double. And I also made a big theory on this on tumblr which you may find interesting.

I've been thinking about why we are judging Mikoto and not 'John'. I currently have three theories about it. 1. We are judging Mikoto's passiveness. I don't think Mikoto remembers much (or at all) of what 'John' did, however I do believe that he may be aware that there might be something wrong but is ignoring it. This is also in line with the differences the 10 prisoners has (faithful and unfaithful, bully and the bullied, etc.). Kotoko actively tries to save others while Mikoto dismisses and denies the feeling that there's something wrong since he's been under immense pressure already and what 'John' did may break him down more. 2. Mikoto is the one who killed. I still don't think he remembers. It's either 'John' was born/woke up from dormancy when Mikoto snapped and therefore he doesn't remember that he did it since the immense pressure and stress it gave him makes him break down and 'John' is his protector alter or Im not sure if it's possible to pass memories when 'John' split if it's the time he was born. 'John' wants to save him and protect him thus admitting to Mikoto's crimes since Mikoto doesn't know what he did and he doesn't want Mikoto to break down. This is his difference with Kotoko saving others, and him saving himself. 'John' doesn't want Mikoto to find out about his murder in order to protect his mental state. 3. Mikoto may really not be aware of 'John's' actions. He is the one being judged for he is the 'main personality (? Im not sure of the correct term)' and he has to be held accountable for the actions of the other identities too (I think it's called system accountability?). I'm really not well-versed about DID but I hope I didn't say anything offending;; I'm voting forgive either ways but I really hope the best for 'John' and Mikoto. Both of them looks really tired. I wish I could just hug them.

the animation has improved so much... anyways, my thoughts/notes on double - in the beginning, mikoto goes down and the screen starts cracking. in neoplasm, john mentions how mikoto was gonna break from under the stress because he kept it all in. this is also meant to probably resemble johns' split? since he mentions he was just born. - he also starts getting calls and texts from someone called "chief", and since (i assume due to mikoto's personality, i don't think he'd just throw the phone away like that!) mikoto isn't fronting during this, john "throws" the phone away. he might've actually thrown it away, but he probably didn't since the train isn't actually where he killed! (u can see it in undercover) - the mannequins... hm, i think these are actual people, but they may just be mannequins due to either 1) de-reality. derealization is a state of mind where you feel disconnected from your surroundings, and people and objects seem unreal. 2) this can be interconnected with point one, john does not remember the mannequins/people he killed, and his memory is "fuzzy" (he says this in neoplasm i didnt make this up wjkdkdk) 3) john just.. doesn't care? - the doors to when john enters the train are green, but afterwards you can see the doors actually.. aren't. i don't think this is just a simple animation mistake, and it's meant to represent the possibility of a 3rd alter (mido, in this sense). i still believe in 3koto due to the fact this isn't yamanaka's first time writing a sys, and if he made john and mikoto the only alters, it would be very unrealistic. john split in mikotos 20s under stress, and DID forms in the childhood. - 0:38 white is mikoto, and 0:50 black is john. black spiritually symbolizes the unconscious and mystery, while white is a good healing color for the removal of pain and suffering.

if you havent listened to the vd yet, john (mikoto's alter, the name is given by es) gives us two possible outcomes: with an innocent verdict, john will no longer be needed as mikoto wont be in danger anymore. he will likely go dormant and "dissappear" with a guilty verdict, mikoto will stop fronting altogether and probably go dormant, as the stress will become so bad that only john will be able to hold it for them. of course the reality is more nuanced than that, but taking john's words at face value gives us an interesting dillema. going innocent though because he does. not deserve to suffer. neither of them do.

@@jyutoiruma Well. I don't know about "Neither of them". John, be it for Mikoto's case or not, killed at least one to a few innocent people who did nothing nor had anything to do with Mikoto's situation. Let's not forget that from the outside in John had essentially murdered people for no other reason than "they looked at me funny." Understand that this has a greater affect to the people related to the victims, families and loved ones. This would've been a different scenario all together if the people John killed were directly tied to Mikoto's suffering, but unfortunately they weren't. In the world outside of Milgram, the people would not stand for it and demand justice. Mikoto's life is forfeit because of his alter's actions. That said I do want to believe in what John was saying. That he doesn't care what happens to him so long as Mikoto is spared. We're also given the unique privilege of being in a sort of super natural situation to where we could theoretically confirm weither or not John will keep his word and disappear on a forgiven virdict. The ultimate proof of this would be giving John another chance to act out violently... that being giving Kotoko a GUILTY. the one who hurt and harmed Mikoto, now left in a vulnerable position. If he takes NO action, and John does as promised, then this should all ultimately pan out to where Mikoto will be able to move on. There is also the possibility that Mikoto becomes fully aware of the consequences of John's actions as well as John's existence and decides to take responsibility for it all. In short. Due to these circumstances I'm willing to give Mikoto the innocent vote because I as well as many others find Mikoto himself innocent, not John. Should John not follow through on his word and his existence continues to remain active within Mikoto's mindscpe via Milgram's T3 introvideo, then Mikoto will ultimately end up Guilty.

I feel so sorry for Mikoto+John, Milgram really made them look as guilty as possible in the first trial by giving us almost no context for why John murdered someone, and Mikoto denying it because he mostly has no clue what's going on, except that part was less clear and it seemed like intentional manipulation to most of the viewers instead. Guilty before innocent happened and its ended up not so good. And even now we don't know exactly why John did all of that other than some sort of abstract "I'm protecting myself/Mikoto." along with the voice drama where John said that he killed the "annoying" people nearby him when he was first born, presumably after Mikoto was put under enough stress/trauma through a single big incident or a long term pressure to gain an alter, in which case John might have been lashing out at actual aggressors or just abusiveish people Mikoto hated putting up with? John keeps mentioning that if he wasn't made, then Mikoto would have "exploded" from the stress, which uh.... oof. There's also lines like "I think… I might be the person Boku(Mikoto) wishes he was. The person who stubbornly stands his ground, who doesn’t cry himself to sleep from stress, who gives people their payback." Which suggests some very toxic work environments, and coworkers/bosses that might've been the people John lashed out at, but maybe not since he didn't recognize them but at the same time he admits his memory was blurry from just coming into existence? Its complicated. The most worrying thing right now is that according to the voice drama, voting Innocent will probably lead to John disappearing since he won't be needed to protect Mikoto, which carries risk if the prisoners start trying to kill each other again (probably not since people aren't a fan of Kotoko trying to murder the others, but we do need to worry about Shidou potentially murdering her since he's innocent and able to do more things around the prison, and has mentioned "pulling out that fang" in his song, which Kotoko has called herself before). Voting Guilty will lead to Mikoto supposedly disappearing instead since according to John, all the stress of being guilty has led to John fronting more often, to the point that Mikoto might disappear from being unable to handle the stress? Either way there's not a lot of good options, and if Mikoto/John see this, I'm really sorry that yall were basically set up by Milgram to end up like this, and I just really hope that there's a good ending at the end of all this.

Listened to the Audio Drama and...!!! Even if Jonh (Orekoto) admits to be the murderer, how much he wants to protect and save Mikoto makes me think he could be lying to save him Milgram can recognize them as two different people, so why is it Jonh who is immune to milgram rules? I mean we don't know if Mikoto is immune to it too as he never tried to harm Es but I think this could potentially be a hint At 0:12 it's Mikoto's boss sending him messages notifying him late at night about work due to the morning, Mikoto worked for an abusive company and it kept penting up his stress, on undercover we can see him sleeping on his desk with energy drinks (probably working until late) and on MeMe he falls asleep as soon as he gets home, he was sleep deprived, getting told he wasn't doing enough by his shitty boss and just laughing it all off I think Mikoto could have exploded one day, and killed someone by accident, he blocked this memory due to trauma/was already dissociating (he is not lying about not knowing what is happening) and Jonh is trying to take the blame so Mikoto can be saved (forgiven), otherwise Jonh is saying the truth, and he really ended up releasing pent up stress at someone random when he couldn't really simulate what was even happening, and now feels guilty for getting Mikoto on this situation (But idk I'm not feeling this "someone random" talk) But his way of dismissing his victims make me think he's trying to seem bad on purpose so we put all blame on him and not on Mikoto I think neither of them are bad people (the villain was capitalism all along) so I'm voting to forgive, I can see how much Jonh loves Mikoto Edit: I was rereading his 1st Trial interrogation and it's interesting to think at that point Mikoto still thought this was all a reality show, so him saying he liked the company he worked at, or that he went with a bike to work is more what he wishes was true and as a employee what he should say to make the company look good than his current reality, we see him at a train here and him in front of a train station(?) in MeMe, there's no way this overworked guy could have time to ride a bike to work

Also, in Mikoto's interrogation questions he states that he still practises his baseball swing when he's stressed (which is a bit suspicious since the murder weapon was probably a baseball bat) and that he used to be a night person (which is also suspicious since as far as we know all of the crimes have taken place at night) But it is weird since he implied that he didn't go on trains

Personally I think that Mikoto’s murder was planned and it wasn’t just “he exploded and killed someone”. The fact that he had a bat in the first place really points to this. Personally I believe in the stalker theory, as there’s lots of cameras and references to being watched in meme and eye motifs in double so I think he killed someone who was stalking him.
I’m thinking maybe Mikoto was an office slave who was so overworked that he barely had any time for himself and his dreams which is why in MV1 he comes home and immediately goes to sleep and in this MV he’s more stressed. It’s most likely that Orekoto unleashed the stress that Mikoto faces in his work environment and is the one that is helping Mikoto survive by unleashing that stress and Orekoto thinks that they’re saving Mikoto because that’s his purpose.

I just love how we can now clearly see the differences between Mikoto and John in this mv than the MeMe mv, aswell as new physical attributes; Mikoto now has dark under eyes and a few of white hair strands that were not in his first Trial ( probably from the intense stress :'( ) In 0:46 while mikoto sits, the seats beside him are empty and the shine in his eyes are at the top. But at 0:52 where John sits, bodies of mannequins and blood surround him and the shine of his eyes are at the bottom And in 1:12 , we see that mikoto is in a panicked state, gripping his hair anxiously. When John sits apart from Mikoto and sees him, he immediately grabs the bat and is ready to strike anyone as a way to protect Mikoto

From what it seems, the ‘real’ self is the one full of remorse, the ‘duplicate’ is the identity he had created to protect himself. The question of “So why are you crying,” is being asked by his double, who is only capable of seeing all else as ‘dolls’ (people not of any significance). Miko-Two (double) wishes to be acknowledged as something more than a ‘scoundrel’, the one who was able to preserve Mikoto from his insanity. He resents us for demonizing the both of us.

The voice drama makes it clear that John was a personality created from Mikotos stress that went out and whacked some random people to blow off steam. John's only goal is to protect Mikoto, who's a people-pleaser, from breaking. Also unlike the first trial Mikoto now knows about his second personality, since the other prisoners confirmed the story. John also tells Es that he'll disappear on his own if Mikoto is voted innocent, again since his only goal is to protect Mikoto
