If you look closely you can see that there are some aliens holding signs with the word "Prince". Also Luca was the winner of the previous season of ALNST, so it makes sense that he's popular, apart from his clear ability to sing.

Fun fact: Round 4 was never posted because Luna's opponent (the boy with black hair we see at the beginning) refused to sing and therefore got eliminated before they even begun.

[@tentaclest.tentacles5090]

Most fun part of this is how violent his singing feels, like it's a romantic song a serenade but with the situation they're in, while she stands there frozen and he sings with so much passion he is basically killing her, sealing her fate, and you expect the whole time for her to attack back in the same way, like deciding she needs to win for Sua she will hopefully sing with force and drown him out. But instead she uses actual violence, it looks less pretty it's not what the aliens paid for, she's not trying to win the system where she's not even a Real player in, she just beats the shit out of him. And I think that's iconic I hope she gets to commit more violence somehow

[@dreamerme36]

On the contrary, I think Luka's a manipulative monster BECAUSE he's under so much pressure. He's so desperate to survive that he learned to manipulate others, and that's why he keeps winning. You can't win multiple seasons of Alien Stage without being cutthroat!

[@CloudedGaurdian]

OKAY, SO I HAVE A THEORY. While listening to Luka's cover of Sweet Dream it occured to me that, while he's definitely manipulating Mitzi here... that might not be a bad thing, or for cruel reasons. First off, the whole idea of him trying to make Mitzi snap for an "easy win" is inherently flawed. Luka is *popular.* He already has fans, and probably had this win in the bag before he even stepped on stage. Secondly- As Till proved, attacking, or even *killing* your opponent doesn't disqualify you. Hyun-A backed out at the last minute, so it's not like contestants can't be replaced. So getting Mitzi to attack him doesn't accomplish anything if his goal is just "to win." So... if that isn't his goal, what is? Why taunt her, why provoke her? Simple. Fight or flight. This song is *barely* a duet. Luka's singing just about every part, and it's not because he's overriding Mitzi, he's clearly trying to involve her, make her part of the show, but she's barely interacting. Watch her expressions in the first minute. She's dead-eyed, on auto-pilot, only showing any emotion when imagining Sua, and lashes out at Luka whenever he snaps her out of it. Mitzi isn't trying to win. Mitzi is trying to be with Sua. Mitzi is trying to die. Luka's entire goal... is to piss her off and make her want to live. To fight back. He's not smiling because he made her snap- he's smiling because when the guards showed up, *she fought back.* She struggled, she screamed, she through dignity to the wind and tried to escape. And the moment she does, Hyun-A appears and provides that escape, exchanging a look with Luka before disappearing into the smoke. Luka's a previous winner. One shown to be fairly uncaring of his fame or status. I think the only reason he'd come back and risk his life again is either to go out in a blaze of glory, or to take down the show from the inside. Possibly both.

Luka was definitely taunting Mizi, but I think another reason she attacks him is because he is so representative of the entire competition. He is the previous winner, and in the beginning she seems shocked and a little afraid when Luka spins her around and she can't avoid his gaze. She sees nothing there in terms of emotion. He might as well be another alien, with the way he powers through the song almost effortlessly. No regard for her mourning, his fellow trapped humans, no goals or aspirations outside of pleasing his masters. He is the opposite of playful, rule breaking Sua. Why should Luka, this cold, robotic creep, get to live when a beautiful soul like Sua had to die? I can almost see her thinking that before she snaps.

At first I thought that Luka’s purple fingers are just part of his design (which is probably true), but today I found about Raynaud’s phenomenon. This problem causes decreased blood flow to fingers. I searched for some pictures and one of the forms of manifestations of this disease is very similar to Luka’s hands. Here’s some more information: “this happens due to spasms of blood vessels in those areas. The spasms happen in response to cold, stress, or emotional upset.” Luka looks very depressed sometimes, which can relate to “emotional upset” criteria. Probably he hides his emotions from other people

[@nonafie]

I noticed something about Luka's design that perhaps makes him so enthralling and grabs your attention. While the other characters have pretty vivid colours on their faces as they perform, making their expressions easy to digest at first glance, Luka's paleness and blonde hair + eyebrows + lashes combination makes the expression on his face not quite evident at first glance and not as easy to grasp as it is for mizi, or ivan, for example. It really makes you have to focus on him, and to top it off he's such a mysterious character who hides his emotions, making it extra hard for us to decipher what he's thinking just from a glance at his face. Vivinos did a really good job with this. I wouldn't call myself a fan of Luka, but he's such an elegantly crafted character, so he deserves that credit at least.

To support this, we know Lukas is a very calculated person, a solved rubik's cube in round 3 and his interview highlighting that he prepared ahead for unexpected outcomes. Also notice how it also mentions that Lukas took it pretty easy after his first Alien Stage competition. It's almost like he left to plan some sort of scheme and now he's back to set it into motion. Contrary to some of the theories, I don't think he meant to piss Mizi off, he seemed really surprised he got attacked. The song came off as persuasive, saying things like "you're the perfect subject" and "you're my savior" which could mean that she is the key to ending this Alien Stage competition somehow, and she says that he's lying. I think he's just bad at talking to people, because again the song says "Let me be your God, I'll give you everything" - he's saying that he should replace Sua (who was referred to as Mizi's God) and he'll give her what she wants. He wants Mizi to trust him the way she trusted Sua. Their darknesses overlap, they now have the same goal - to end Alien Stage. You can tell Mizi just wanted to be with Sua, not necessarily win the game or end it. Now while it might be "logical" for him to say that, you can see how furious she is at the thought he could replace Sua. Mizi would never have won against him even if she wanted to, as he's one of the best competitors featured on Alien Stage (Lukas Interview). So she was bound to die. He saw that her hopelessness and anger is what the rebellion needed. He smiled at 2:39 because even though everything didn't go to plan, he still got what he wanted. He prepared for the unexpected, and Mizi was saved by the rebellion. Quick edit: I'm debunking one of the floating theories in the comments. Rather than a flashback to Lukas' first love dying in his first Alien Stage tournament, I think it's just showing how round 4 went. Notice how the corpse has that same short, spiky-brown hair as his round 4 competitor. Hyuna has long straight hair. It's almost like he's thanking his competitor. Don't worry guys, Lukas is just a little unhinged. It's his charm.

This is probs the best theory I’ve seen so far

[@7yearsoldcrow]

[@Ms.Matcha-u2y]

"It's his charm." 😭😭 I think it could make a lot of sense if Luka is aiding the human rebellion, but my mind wanders back to that one bit of art from QMENG's community tab.. The one pic where Hyuna seems like she's trying to stab Luka, and Luka's got his eyes closed as he smiles. Was that image a showcase of a previous season of ALNST where they faced off and Hyuna somehow survived? Or is Hyuna somehow going to come at Luka in an attempt to kill him? What even is the relationship between those two???? In few of the artworks, it also shows Hyuna acting like a big sister to Till. Is she older than all of the contestants? If she was close to Till, then maybe that's why Till was so shocked??? Forgive me for overanalyzing but I am LOST 💀🙏

[@Laura-l0rr41n3]

the concept of this being an arrange wedding is so creative omg

[@baljeet7041]

I think the reason Mizi began to breakdown and remember Sua from Luka is because some of the lyrics from this song parallel and/or contrast the song in the 1st round, Clematis. Like how in the climax of round 1, Mizi calls Sua "My God, My Universe", while here, Luka sings to Mizi to "Make me your God" and calls her "My savior", which obviously seems to be mocking how Mizi called Sua her god. The lyrics here also say "My world is collapsing", again mocking Mizi calling Sua "My universe". Because Universe and world are kind of synonymous. He is even grinning while watching Mizi sing this line in distress. This might be a reach but Luka also sings "The endless walls, a fall with no ground.... .....I go blind and deaf", while in Clematis, Mizi sings about finding Sua with her "scent". The lyric specifically is "In the endless darkness, I find you with your scent" They're interconnected in some way. Both about being lost in a void and losing all senses in nothingness, but while Luka's lyric is more tragic as it is followed by the lyric "My world is collapsing". His lyrics can be interpreted as "I can't see you and hear you anymore, what is the point of living when I can not love you?" While Mizi's is sweet in the sense that it's like "Even in the darkness where I can not see and hear you, I love you so much that even your scent is enough for me to find my way back to you." Also in relation to the aforementioned lyric, "In the endless darkness, i find you with your scent", it may also be referenced by the lyric in this song, "Our darknesses overlap, let me take it all away." Because the moment that this lyric is sung, it shows imagery of Sua disappearing again. It could be referencing the clematis lyric in the sense that "let me take it all away" refers to the scent in the darkness, so basically taking away the only thing mizi can remember sua by. So now she is left with darkness and nothing to lead her way. And there's the fact that he's acting seductive around her when she had just watched her lover die infront of her eyes, I'd be pissed too lol

There’s so much to unpack in this round, but one thing for sure is that you can really feel the divinity in this song when Luka starts singing, and it is so incredibly fitting-even the way their voices overlap when they sing together has an alluring enchantment to it that solidifies that. Such a great round

Theories I'm seeing and jotting down: 1.) It has been stated that Luka won the last competition of ALNST. This is a flashback to when he won that. 2.) Hyuna was supposed to be competing in Round 4, but A.) She is on the run from the aliens B.) She killed herself (explaining the teaser) C.) Something else is up with her, so they skipped/delayed this round. Some people theorize that the community post Vivinos posted is about Round 4 and Hyuna. 3.) The number 4 is seen as a number representative of death in some cultures, therefore a lot of people exclude this number. That's why Round 4 was excluded and Round 5 is basically Round 4 (and we're carrying on with the regularly scheduled programming). 4.) Typo Edit: I didn't expect this comment to blow up lol. But a lot of people think these are my theories, so just to clarify they ARE NOT mine. This was just a recap of what others stated. Also, I don't think this is accurate anymore, because I wrote this before the premiere. However, this time I have my OWN theory/retelling. It ties a bit to theory #2. Hyuna is on the run from the aliens because she is a vigilante who is against this mess. Whether she escaped from the aliens or she was never in the competition is unclear. What I believe happened is that Hyuna and her group of rebels forced themselves in and saved Mizi. When the aliens pull Mizi away after she beat up Luka, you see these robotic-like guards. ( 2:49 ) They prepare to shoot Mizi, yet this never happens. ( 3:02 ) We cut to the scene where the audience and Till are shocked. (This is either because this is where Hyuna appears or they are still shocked that Mizi would do this to Luka.) Now when Luka was beaten, his face was bloody, not bruised. ( 2:36 ) It is proven that they probably broke in and caused a huge physical impact, because Luka is bruised here. He also gets up very grogily and looks like he's going to pass out from the impact. (3:25) At this point, there is hooded figures hiding themselves in the smoke (they probably threw in a smoke bomb or something), not the robotic ones. The rebels leave with Mizi in tow, therefore saving her.

[@AlienStageFan_831]

That is a really good theory, but I honestly think that the dead girl is Sua, still dead in the stage. Because then we can see how Sua is in the background so maybe Luka had something with her. He probably liked her. Edit: Im here after you edited the comment and I agree with your theory lol

i love the small details of how even when mizi makes the weak attempts to sing, luka continues to sing basically over her part which shows how helpless she is in the moment.

[@lonelypizzaslice4845]

I love how each contestants winning strategy is different and exposes their true nature: Round 1: Mizi tries to sing *with* her opponent in hopes of them both 'winning', showing that she has selfless goals in the competition. Round 2: Till wins by singing *over* his opponent and not giving him a chance, showing he's desperate to win and doesn't care how he does. Round 3: Ivan plays by the rules and sings *in turns* , because he knows he was better than his opponent and would easily crush him. Round 5: luka uses antagonism to make Mizi *disqualify herself* (maybe he knew he couldn't win fairly? Or was hoping she would be saved last-minute?) Even without dialogue, each characters' nature is so distinct based on their strategies and emotions during their song. I love this series so much so far

[@Ms.Matcha-u2y]

I'd personally like say: ROUND 2: It is likely that Till was not confident he would win, but his actions were definitely VERY influenced by his emotions. His song is extremely passionate and I think not ONLY is he trying to win, he's doing everything in his power to finally express himself to Mizi. We know Till is very timid around Mizi and I think he's taking advantage of his spotlight to say what he feels about Mizi, therefore he can't let anyone interfere (so that's why he didn't let the other contestant sing) ROUND 5: Luka had already won a previous round of ALNST, he's a FAN FAVOURITE. Not only that, Mizi was totally mentally unstable after Sua's death. Before Luka could even try nd mess with her, she already appears less confident and not very passionate about performing like she was in ROUND 1. I'd like to believe Luka knew he got all his fans wrapped around his fingers and maybe just WANTED Mizi to snap? It's possible he's just a full-on sadist lmao

[@natifer_]

Just some thoughts I had. The dynamic between Mizi and Luka was executed so masterfully, that the music and visuals alone are enough to gauge exactly what is going on between the two characters. They are stark contrasts in the way their movements are animated, which acutely expresses just what they are feeling and the power imbalance between them. This is ironic given that they are dressed so similarly with the intent to “match”. Mizi can’t stomach replacing her real lover with a man who is so eager in playing the role of her lover, solely for the sake of self preservation. It’s uncomfortable as Luka uses this to torture Mizi psychologically. Luka is swift and graceful in his movements, whilst Mizi is almost robotic as she struggles to keep up with him. The way Luka is so sensual and intimate in his movements is so unsettling. He moves in a way that’s close enough to provoke a reaction out of Mizi, but withdraws at random moments, making him eerily unpredictable on stage. Especially in the scene where he circles Mizi, he’s close, but not close enough to break her. Rather, he surrounds her, entrapping her in a rhythmic taunt. The animation becomes really fluid in the most climactic moments, where Luka grabs Mizi’s waist, pulling her into such an oppressive waltz. Mizi’s head hangs from her neck as her expression remains stunned, yet unable to express it properly. Luka sways and bounces into Mizi’s personal space. She is powerless to his advances, throughout the sequence her expression remains wide eyed, as if harbouring a distress that is seconds away from bursting out of her. The way Luka always initiates first is so invasive and I love it. He’s such a manipulative motherfucker in that, the audience cannot understand him other than the fact that he wants to win, and he intends to do it maliciously. We don’t know his motives or insecurities, only that he is a cunning bastard who’s able to dazzle an audience. His eyes contrast Mizi’s so much. His are half-lidded, unbothered, super cunning as he so fluidly expresses this false desire to his co-star. Mizi’s eyes are intense. They are unwavering in that her pupils are blown and unmoving, she’s staring into something that isn’t there, Sua. She doesn’t have the mental fortitude to comprehend what’s happening, but it’s not up to her. When Mizi breaks, the power dynamic doesn’t shift. Ironically, she’s the one beating Luka to a pulp, yet he doesn’t crack an expression that suggests he’s lost. He’s either neutral, smiling, or smirking, adding this layer of uncertainty around him which I find really compelling. I find it compelling because he unsettles me, he provoked not only a reaction from Mizi, but the audience. Luka carried himself on stage with such an air of insincerity, he was so enthusiastic in his performance that it really drew the line between he and Mizi’s character. Despite her situation, Mizi physically cannot perform with Luka, her devotion and emotions are too real to allow her to function. This doesn’t apply to Luka, he can so boldly touch her, in ways that scream “I WANT YOU SO BAD” but it’s far from that. He lies with his movements. This shows how callous he is, to which he smothers Mizi, teases her as he so gleefully takes the rightful role of Sua. I just love how they be dancin

The line she sung at the end saying “let me take it all” showed her anger towards Luka in general for both reminding her of sua and trying to cut her?

[@DementedKnight]

Yeah, I very much think Luka knew how the events would play. So he had to play "the bad guy" in order to get Mizi to lash out and hit him to give Hyuna the moment to come in and take her. The song and actions were made to make Mizi snap. He plays the role of the antagonist to test Mizi's faith, point out her pain, and even insinuating to just give in and give up as he is her "God" all to get Mizi scared and angered. He stares off at Hyuna's rebellion blankly knowing this game of playing with lives might come to an end soon...but since he's won last alien stage and possibly more, he has to be the one to stay behind in a self righteous sacrifice for all in this moment and not go with the rescue team. A plan I'm sure he chose as Hyuna looks back in possible respect but also feeling bad for the role he decided to take. Can't wait for the rest.

[@prnc96]

Idk man, while your theory makes sense Luka's grin isn't like a "all went according to plan" like a normal smile would, but more like "ah, you're getting eliminated" and his blank stare when she got rescued instead seems more like being indifferent to the whole commotion like "hm, didn't expect that"....idk just how I interpreted things

[@qahiraaaaa]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@DementedKnight]

​​​​​​@@prnc96 I just think he is a good guy only because during the singing, he does at times side eye her without that cocky grin (as if watching her concerned) but when Mizi glances at him, he soon turns away and grins cocky again when he knows she's watching. I just think the momentarily blank stares or him grabbing her from slapping him in song but not looking at her in that moment is to show her "Hey, I'm trying to help you here" but Mizi doesn't get it. But you may be right. He might be to cold-hearted at this point from previous stages, the morbid kissing of the corpse, and his song seeing him as God is probably and truly a bad trait he has and there is a darker ill intent behind him. He may really think he is God himself at this point because he ultimately holds everyone's lives in his hand. Since he's the one that has killed a lot to present time. "Looks like an angel. But is Lucifer in disguise". Or he represents death himself. Either role he plays, good or bad, I will still like those turn of events.

[@ashisawsome621]

Yeah like why would he avoid the first blow she aimed at him but just lay there and take it when she started to punch him after? His arms weren’t restricted at all and it’s basic instinct to defend yourself so…me thinks he saw this coming lol who knows if he’s in on it with the rebels though

THEORY TIME LET"S GOOOO Okay so, based on the opening, I think that Luka's partner died in the previous season and he's determined to win, judging by how he likens Mizi to a star and himself to the sun. he seems to be trying to convince her to give up. It's obvious he's dead inside, showing no emotion even as he prowls around Mizi and puts on this elaborate performance, so I think he' acts as a foil to Mizi. Both lost their world, their saviors, in this horrible game, but while Lukas knows he wants to win regardless of the cost, Miziz is struggling to find the will to win without her love, especially as Lukas continues to taunt her and she's forced to be a spectacle for these aliens' sick amusement, dressed up like a doll to match a person she has nothing but loathing for and judging by Lukas's smile at the end , he was singing like that to make her act out, to provoke her so she would hit him and in doing so ensure her death and his win. ADDENDUM: Judging by how much he smirks at Mizi as she visibly breaks down, but always keep a princely face to the audience, it's possible that he won the previous alien stage by manipulating the audience by adopting a princely persona; doing the equivalent of making himself out to be a harmless, angelic, and princely being to be doted on by the "superior" aliens. He's enjoying her suffering and knows that the more he provokes her, the more her own facade cracks and her chances and winning plummet. THEORY 2: Hyuna and Lukas are working together. As Mizi is about to be shot, a lot of smoke covers the stage and we see humans fighting the security guards, and Lukas no longer looks as aggressive or hostile as he was earlier. Just a calm, blank gaze as he makes eye contact with the interloper rescuing Mizi who looks strikingly like Hyuna. Considering that round 4 was "delayed" due to Hyuna going AWOL, it's possible that Hyuna left and returned with reinforcements and She and Lukas plotted to make Mizi act out, which would cause enough pandemonium to allow Hyuna and her forces to break in. It would make sense as it's implied that Lukas's lover died in the previous alien stage, so he would know first hand the rage, suffering, and misery that awaits the other contestants if they win. OTHER NOTEWORTHY THINGS: Mizi looks nothing like herself onstage, and that shows how much Sua's death has affected her, like she lost part of her soul. She only begins to resemble her original self when she lashes out at Lukas. when Lukas says "our darknesses overlap" he's most likely referring to their shared experiences Ivan is not seen ONCE in the whole video. He could just be chilling in his own pod like Till, just out of sight. He could be hanging out with his sponsor, playing nice with "fans", OR he could have been working with the rebellion behind the scenes, since Round 3 shows that he had enough power/knowledge to be able to free Till and himself when they were younger, and that could remain true to this day Lukas's stage has multiple platforms and floating stairs stretching high into the arena. I think it's meant to symbolize how far Lukas has climbed, standing atop of the corpses of his fellow humans to stand above the rest. Which would especially be striking since Mizi is relatively motionless throughout this round, seeming to lack to will to dance or even step around Lukas (especially considering that she's wearing a VERY cumbersome looking dress that drags along the floor, kinda like chains) Also the stage has a spine in the background? Maybe it's because a lot of the imagery of Lukas is white and ethereal so throwing the spine in there puts the connotation of death and decay alongside the cold light of his moon to really push how dangerous he is and his two-faced nature. after all, he has a ribbon around his neck and is referred to as "prince" so to the aliens he's like a cute Pomeranian, but underneath his mask he's willing to use dirty tricks to secure his victory It's likely Mizi was bound to lose from the beginning. From 1:44-1:50 we see that the stands are FILLED with aliens wearing purple masks to show their support for Lukas and the entire arena is lit up by purple as he looks back at Mizi. It's almost like he's telling her "there's no way you can win" AND ANOTHER THING the contestant Lukas does go up against has black hair (both at 0:06 and 0:14 ), in the Alien Stage intro video, we see a black haired child run behind Hyuna and her turning to look at him, implying a connection. Maybe that person was important to Hyuna and Lukas beat them in Alien Stage, causing their death and Hyuna's hatred towards him. Or maybe she just hates him because he's playing the game to win as opposed to trying to rebel against it idk

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH YOUR SECOND THEORY or at least I just really hope that they're finding a way to get out of this killing system 😭 I also wanna add just to make the entire reinforcement thing more clear, that the white soldiers seems to be the one that work for the aliens but at the end when we see Luka having eye contact with Hyuna, 3:28 , one of them is laying on the ground and another one is being pushed by people in the same uniform as hyunas. I'm pretty sure they do NOT work for the aliens

[@G0m3rion]

A year has passed since this came out and I am still in awe in the amount of rage in Mizi's expressions.

[@effera]

This song is great... and so wicked! You can clearly see how right from the start Luka tries to taunt Mizi, knowing that Sua's death definitely took a toll on her. He's set on playing the part of a seducer, when he's obviously aware that Mizi just lost the one she loved (at 1:28 the image of Sua singing in her white dress is literally right begind him while he towers over Mizi), taking advantage of that weakness, barely giving her a chance to "sing back" to him : most of the lyrics are sung by him, and when it's supposed to be Mizi's turn, she seems completely dazed, out of it... most of the time, that is. What's even more unnerving is the fact that this song, a "romantic duet" on the surface, is nothing but a cruel parody of Sua and Mizi's duet -- like, almost every freaking line references their performance, to the point where it's almost physically painful for me (let alone for Mizi 😢). The tenderness and sincerity in 'My Clematis' are replaced here by the aggressive undertones beneath the appearance of "courtship", and rather than a true duo, Luka takes control, both of the song and the space on the stage, dancing around an almost still Mizi, invading her personal space, confidently pacing the stage and mesmerising the public whereas she can't even maintain eye contact and seems hesitant when singing back. However he didn't think that he was playing with fire here, Mizi reacting in a way that he apparently didn't expect, fighting back physically rather than vocally, something he would probably expect from rebellious Till, but certainly not from sweet, tender-hearted, loving Mizi. But the signs were here from the beginning, even before she snapped, she was actively avoiding him when he was getting too close, pushing him away when he was trying to make her dance with him. Yet he continues to mock her, sure that victory is already his, until she does the unthinkable and fights back *for real*, leaving Till himself wide eyed. Even the "guards" didn't react immediately ,when they were so prompt to put down Till the moment his performance started to go awry. I really like how Luka is characterised here, it goes beyond what I was expecting from him haha. According to the few glimpses we had on the other songs and in Vivinos' artworks, I think he uses his dreamy, angelic appearance to cultivate a "pretty lover boy" image in order to gain popularity. I believe the scene at the begining is - despite a lot of other theories I've seen in the comments - simply him kissing the blood covered hand of his previous opponent, to lean further into that "tragic lover" role he's always playing. In truth, he is more cold and calculating, cunning and ruthless than he seems at first, but rather than hiding it completely with a sweet facade, he seems to play with that aspect of himself, giving him a predatory edge, the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing, all of this contrasting with the nonchalant/indifferent demeanour he displayed in his few appearances so far (God, this is some delicious stuff right here lol). He seems to believe that he can win this game they play with his intellect (kinda foreshadowed with him playing with a rubix cube at the end of round 3, I guess), and relies as much on his ability to read others and manipulate them, as on his attractiveness and singing talents, if not more. On a side note, Mizi is just gorgeous in this round, I'm literally obsessed gsjskavdjsk About the appearance of Hyuna at the end, and the glance Luka exchanged with her, I don't know what to say yet about it, except that the fact that she doesn't seem to be a participant in the competition is an exciting plot twist, and the "disappearance" of Mizi after being taken care of by her is promising 👀 (and made me feel relieved, I don't want her to die lol 😬😬😬... yet) edit: upon rewatching the video (yet again),I'm starting to think that Mizi snapping did not actually come as much as a surprise to Luka, and that it was what he planned from the start to get her eliminated (look at that smirk at 2:38 ), or at the very least it was one of the outcome he was aiming for. Either way, he was clearly expecting to win this round even before stepping on the stage

[@Bianca-mt3qv]

[@Tayday12]

i loved reading your evaluation!! If I may, I'd love to add on to your words. I think that Luka certainly did not expect Mizi's violent reaction, but even so it was within his "calculations". The fact is, kind mizi, in her frenzy, took too long to finish the job. She was bent over him in a violent animal rage and I think she /could/ have killed him, but she didn't. She had her hands wrapped around his neck (Luka panicking!!) but she took them /off/ in order to beat his ass instead. Rewatching it, it even looks like she only had her hands around his neck in order to tackle him to the floor, because she goes for the punching so fast as soon as hes on the ground. It's all animated seamlessly into each other, but it matters. Mizi did not kill. I'll get back to this. I think Luka's style of winning is extremely aggressive towards other singers. He duets with love ballads (a very common topic for songs) in a way that pulls everyone into its flow. He already has fame built on his reputation as that tragic lover character -- so if anyone tries to match his love song, they're already in his area of expertise, served up to the slaughter. He promises to take all the pain away if they give into him, and he delivers on that by winning. If the contestants /dont/ go into his love song, then Lukas love looks one-sided and pitiful, still giving him the advantage. If they snap and fight back, then theyll be executed for breaking the rules, like Mizi almost was. It's an extremely smart way to play that corners others by prying trauma disguised as romance. (the only way I can see someone winning against him is with positive idealism instead of his showy romanticism, but with the way the aliens calculate worth in a song, even that's a toss up honestly) Furthermore, in the world, I'm sure humans being pets inhibits their ability to be in consenting relationships with other humans -- and Luka offers a love they cant have. There are so many angles to his strategy. He knows how far he wants to push his partners. After Mizi stops moving, he gives up pretending to her. His "emotions" turn off because theres no reason to corner her further. He even looks disappointed after a while that Mizi was so easy to conquer (especially when they reach the last arena and he turns around). You can see that in other ways too, like how he looks at her with disdain before smiling to the crowd. Mizi is a powerful singing force. Even when she's out of her mind and listless, she still has a singing presence! And lets not forget her almost perfect rating in round 1! I think Luka came on strong at the beginning because he saw her as a real threat. But Mizi was too vulnerable to counter Luka's trap. And for her not to counter him means shes just another "dead lover." It's not him, but Sua's dead body that puts Mizi over the edge. With all of this said -- Luka's tight strategy means he covered all his bases. The show's premise is to sing in order to stay alive. There are armed guards surrounding the whole stadium. Even if Luka pushes someone into a corner mentally, he's safe physically..... except, this time, he wasn't. I think there's genuine fear in his eyes when he's being attacked by Mizi. Something he didn't account for. And that smile... Luka's smile, when she's pulled away, means that she didn't kill him. She was listless and unshowmanlike the whole time, and attacked him -- she's done. He won. Even if they don't execute her for trying to kill him, she'll be executed because she's a loser. Luka was afraid, there was a setback, but ultimately, everything was within his calculations. That said... his genuine at-a-loss expression at the end is delicious. All of this said, I have a bonus headcanon that I subscribe to now: I think that Luka is famous because he has survived a past alien stage. This may or may not be true, but it's an interesting theory.

I felt like he's deliberately trying to make Mizi sees Sua in him as if saying that "You have your weakness written all over your face" and proceeds to show you just how that weakness could be used against her, and by the time Mizi lose her control, he already made his point.

we DO see them together as kids though, at the garden they are all practicing together and appear to be roughly the same age. i'm guessing they retconned it after the first few rounds or something because luka is also very clearly meant to be as young if not younger than the others up until promotional material for this round came out.

​@@rosen_venuswe never see Luka and Hyuna with the other kids, the others are all roughly the same age, only Luka and hyuna are older. We saw them as kids but never in the same frame, I think it wasn’t clear before but they might’ve kept it open/ ambiguous at first so they could decide on it later? But for sure the two of them were never in their childhood and or in the same frame when they were younger (with the other kids)

[@Milk-ck1wv]

We do see luka and hyuna as kids! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrMnKCphbuklcU ^ In this video of Alien stage they're besides eachother at the time 1:09

[@yunayuns]

@@Milk-ck1wv yes they are shown as kids but not in the same frame as I was saying, its the same bg and all but it could've been years apart because its not clearly in the same frame and or time frame even. there's a post on ig with Luka and hyuna as kids too but never in the exact same frame with the others, I feel they left it in the open for people to speculate. the link you sent is probably to show they went through the same training / audition (?) but it doesn't show them being the same age since they aren't in the same frame and it could still be years apart

[@athe3695]

wait where did u see each of their profile? how old are they all actually?

[@KerkorDragonblood]

Me and my husband have been watching these, and we have a bit of a crazy theory. Neither of us think Mizi is dead, and we'd been assuming that those people dragging her away were working for Alien Stage, taking away the "body", but then we had the thought, what if they are rebels. With the mist, the lack of blood, and it being what seems to be Hyuna, another contestant, dragging Mizi away, we're theorizing that whoever this is took the opportunity to swoop in, take down the guards, and spirit Mizi away. Add that to the "ERROR MIZI MISSING" message at the end, I think its safe to assume Mizi is both not dead, and is now involved with whatever this mysterious group is. So excited for more!

[@anamariamalo]

They are clearly rebels; look at the robots that were going to execute Mizi on the floor. Mizi alive is a fact.

I dont think skipping Round 4 was a typo. VIVINOS plans these carefully. At the start of the video you can see Luka past Round 4 and made it to Round 5. Yes, this is the fourth round we are seeing, but the 5th in the Alien Show. VIVINOS either intentially skipped it with no intent of going back or will go back to show that Round at a later point. 👀 My guess is either Luka fought Hyuna in the previous round and won and they'll later show it at another time, but it doesn't look like it from the chart at the start of this video. Unless Hyuna died before that battle, that could be a possibility too. But honestly I think he fought a miscellaneous non-important character and he is kissing their corpse in the beginning after defeating them and not Hyuna. Luka seems like the person who is romanticizing these song battles, which was too much for Mizi, who was already having PTSD of losing Sua triggered by the environment of being back on stage. I think Hyuna might battle him in place of Mizi who couldn't finish the battle properly. There might be a Round 5.5 or something? Where he fights Hyuna? 🧐 ALSO 3:12 SHORT BLACK HAIRED CHARACTER? My heart wants to believe its Sua still alive somehow but I know that's not possible but I cry 💔

[@shimple6021]

3:31 isn’t this hyuna?

[@jazz_vvs]

It's just hallucinations of Mizi

[@stillcupid]

3:12 could it be the little kid in ALIEN STAGE teaser, the one that runs past Hyun A ?

[@iinumae]

if you look at who he won against at 0:16 you can see that hyuna was not in the previous round

[@mellocatart]

​@@shimple6021 ya I think so too 👀

[@partialcorpse]

No matter how many times I come back to this it’s always so amazing and makes me just stare in awe, it’s so insane the video gives the implication that’s not the song they’re singing to the audience/hidden trauma they cannot show on stage, but instead the song is a representation of the tension going on between the two of the characters

[@limentte]

Guys, round 4 happened in the beginning. The dark haired person who died was his opponent. At about 0:17 you can see another bracket and the light go dim. There’s also no way it could be a typo because it also says round 5 at the end + the bracket having no one shown in round 4. Now that that’s cleared, what doesn’t really add up is why the opponent AND luca’s pictures went dim.

[@-zozet-5996]

if u look at the other's pictures, everyone's picture was dim on their first rounds. I think it was just a direction choice to only show their pics in their current round
