The truth about The hermit set - a Project SEKAI analysis

I'm so sorry for the audio quality change at the beginning and end of the video, I swear I'm working to correct that.
I recorded this video almost at the moment of having released my first video, but I had to leave it pending until I found a break between work and university, I am glad to be able to deliver another video made with a lot of passion in it :3
The theme of the "hermit set" has been going around in my head for a long time and I wanted to give my own point of view with a very strong inclination to the tarot theme, please enjoy the video and tell me what you think about it!

I read about another interesting interpretation of the horns somewhere, about its relation to mizuki's gender. All the members have two horns while mizuki has one horn and a broken one, which could represent XX & XY chromosomes at birth.

[@jellystualy]

my interpretation of the horns is that they are linked to how in the animal world male animals fight other males to win females with their horns, which ends up in them becoming broken and alludes to mizuki being amab as they are the only ones with their horns broken while everyone else's intact

[@darkgoat89]

Why would mizuki be fighting though and for who? I see it as more of a withered object since other horned animals take great pride in their horns. Those horns being broken means they lost a fight due to the animal being weaker than the other. Mizuki's horn being broken because of them being hurt by others and getting even more damaged over time from the battle with themselves.

[@kaito9417]

another way the horns allude to mizuki being amab is the pattern of the member's horns. Everyone has two matching horns while mizuki has one and the other is broken, which could symbolize XX and XY chromosomes.

it’s interesting how all of the other members, except for mizuki, have two full horns. mizuki has a broken one, which would be associated as them being amab (assigned male at birth). i also noticed how all of the others have very similar horns (curved towards upfront or backwards) while mizuki has one pointing at the top and is more “spiky” than curved. it makes me think that male horns are like mizuki’s, (spiky and pointing at the top) but after transitioning into a female they tried to “change” the horn by breaking it, like if they wanted to show others that they aren’t a male anymore. but after breaking it they probably realised that now the other members will see the change in the horns, and they will all discover mizuki’s secret of being trans. mizuki doesn’t want that to happen yet, so they run away. it’s like from a normal hermit (positivity) they turn into a reversed hermit (negativity), while ena, the hermit searcher, goes to search for mizuki to find them. ena is not reversed, which is nice considering the normal hermit means positivity, while mizuki, the reversed hermit means negativity. i like to think that ena (or maybe also the others, but especially ena) will give her positivity to mizuki by comforting them and making them realise that it’s ok if they are trans and they shouldn’t be worrying too much about it, making mizuki’s reversed self turn to normal. this is just my opinion and theory, correct me if i’m wrong about some things as i didn’t do an actual and accurate research!!

8:44 I want to add that Kanade is very attentive to details, like she already describes someone's feelings or personality just by hearing them singing, or she notices when someones feels off by the way they're talking... She also once talk about Mizuki's voice having "a quality that the others memebrs don't have", when Mizuki ask her why she choose them to be the vocal of their next song, in the map conversation. Mizuki answered that Kanade was really attentives to details like this, while looking away (And tbh that very conversation is what convincing me about Mizuki being trans especially, but well that's personal)

[@jellystualy]

kanade the greatest trans ally!

[@_Chxco_]

Yep, or maybe it's because Mizuki has the strongest vocal in the group? Eh idk

[@nocturne_interlude]

@@_Chxco_ I don't think it's about that... ''Your voice have a quality that the others members don't have'' If it was about her vocals being powerful she would say it clearly, but she talked about voice quality, so it's more about how it naturally sounds The voice tone ? Voice Timbre ? (I'm not fluent in english so idk how to say >

[@_Chxco_]

@@nocturne_interlude Well it's just "maybe" I don't believe in this probability too Now I feel bad that you even type a whole paragraph, I'm really sorry to waste your time because of my comment...

[@nocturne_interlude]

@@_Chxco_ It's fine, don't worry ! Typing whole paragraph is just in my nature, I physically can't write less than 5 lines xD And if I didn't feel like answering or didn't have the time I just wouldn't do so, so don't worry at all, it's okay !

[@leeffeex]

Can't believe we're finally getting a channel with sekai theories and in-depth analysis; I am soooo so excited for more content from you!! So, thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

[@niicespiice]

fructose tolerant also does this

[@lightblubble]

while it's only your second video, i just wanted to say that your content brings me lots of joy not a lot of people talk about project sekai here on yt from the lore/analysis side of things (as of rn i can only really think of fructosetolerant), so it's really cool seeing someone pick it up it's just nice to see someone talk about such a symbolism heavy set in more detail, a really good video overall looking forward to more of your stuff! don't overwork yourself and good luck

[@lavenderiris9744]

Take as much time as you want making your videos! Your videos are already really high quality despite your lack of experience. And I was hoping you cover the ‘immiscible discord’ event cards and the song. That whole event has so much to uncover. But don’t overwork yourself! Your health is important too.

[@52paces]

Wow! I literally never thought of the cards that way. This seriously opened my eyes, and now I’m tempted to do my own searching into the other cards sets, just to see if they have this much attention to detail! I have a friend who’s really into tarot, so I’ll have to see what they think about this. Looking forward to new vids!

[@cloverwhite4557]

This was a great analysis! Take as much time as you need to make your next video. I love your videos!

[@fishtailsauce]

tysm for taking the time to make amazing content and carrying ensekai youtube 💗

[@childeofepickness]

as a mizuki kin and a mizuena shipper, this is a really well-made video and really captures mizuki (and n25 as a whole)’s character! will definitely be continuing to watch your theories and analyses.

[@TViewier]
