MILGRAM / Kotoko - Deep Cover [The Second Trial Music Video] 

OMG love the fact that she sings "Under" to mimic Es , that's peak story telling

I just realized the literal thumbnail of the video is her snapping fuuta’s chess piece in half. He cannot catch a break

I really like the last shot of the bloody scales showing how her sense of justice is distorted into just a weapon

It seems Kotoko's 2nd trial shows her extreme distaste and hate for all the other prisoners there with her. She hates them for giving reasons to justify their actions yet hypocritically acts the same way that they do; harming other people in order to "justify" her way of living. Suprisingly, she also calls out Es (Speculated Prisoner No. 11) and how we judge the prisoners the same way that she does. I do agree that we are one in the same trying to judge the problems of other people, despite knowing that we have no right yet do it anyway. Just like how we make impressions and judgement of people before we truely get to know them. We spread gossip and lies around because we believe it doesn't affect us. When in reality, our actions carry more weight in the eyes of the victims. I don't know how to vote her this time. If she's voted innocent, we'll be proving that we are in the same vein as her in that we judge the actions of others and condemn them ourselves. And if we vote her guilty, we'll become hypocrites because we try to convince ourselves we're different from her. No matter how dire Kotoko's actions were, it still reflects the same message in today's society; we all like to judge people for what we believe they are, no matter their situation, no matter their circumstances, we are judging them "impartially" because we believe we are right.

It's ironic that Kotoko says "I want more 'guilty'", while her reaction to first trial's 'guilty' verdicts was one of the driving forces for second's 'innocent' ones...

If a hero runs out of a villain to fight, they will do everything to make one a villain to be the hero once again.

Something I noticed which is quite interesting to me is the fact that even though she's wearing a uniform similar to Es's, there are a lot of differences too! The ones I can see here are that: 1. She doesn't have the sash 2. She doesn't have the keys 3. Her hat is different (the patterns are different and it doesn't have the MILGRAM logo on it) Apart from that, I just wanted to say that the art is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to the mv's premiere!

can't believe milgram is 2/3 done now, everything the team has done makes my jaw drop constantly. so excited for this MV being the epic conclusion to T2, its def worth the wait !!!!!!!

コトコの正義が「弱者を救いたいから」→「悪を裁きたいから」へ変わってしまって、それを満月で変貌する狼男で暗喩してるのがまた…いい… コトコの正義を変貌させた満月はエス(+俺たち)なのがまた…心を抉られて…いい…

This is interesting, it seems like Kotoko both wants to be the 'fang' delivering justice, but doesn't trust Es to be her wielder. She even derides them at the end, 'Inept 011 Guard', putting Es in the same category as the forgiven prisoners who she despises. Yet she's still asking for someone to tell her who to target. Maybe she's realized that Es isn't really the one who's giving the judgements...

Chess Pieces: Blue: A morphed pawn. The bottom 2/3 and the upper 2/3 are connected. It came from a small pawn, but has a body of a larger pawn due to morphing. Pink: A tall pawn with a large stomach Red: This one has a sharp head, but doesn't look like a pawn piece like the rest. Yellow: Can be seen as a queen piece, or a pawn piece with a fake crown in it Purple: A rook piece or a king piece missing its cross Orange: A queen piece, but looks like it is standing in a cup/goblet(?) Cyan: A pawn piece with one head and two bodies. On a closer inspection, one has a flat end while the other has a curved end. Green: A pawn with a hat. I deduce it is a hat since the head cracks discontinues. It makes the small piece looks tall. Light Blue: An abstracted piece with three layers. Center piece: A scale ⚖️. The center piece at the end has pink highlights (from blood?) when kotoko handles it.

i think the most striking part of this mv is that when we see kotoko interacting with that girl shes never truly paying attention to her. shes an excuse for kotoko to dole out "justice". the only answer she will accept is "guilty", after all.

こうやってミルグラムで、簡単にユーザーの私情で簡単に有罪無罪が逆転している状況見て、リアルの裁判官さんとか本当にすげぇなって思うよ

ボイスドラマ聴いてMV見た感想、考察 ボイスドラマと曲だけ聴いた時点ではコトコは自分のした事に対して全く罪悪感を感じておらず、自分が正しいと完全に思い込んでいるように感じた。 でもMVをみて、その考えは変わった。 コトコは裁きを下すことに対しての罪悪感を心の底ではしっかり感じている。しかし、自分を守るために「自分は正しい」と自分に言い聞かせているように感じた。 初めて私刑を下そうとしたとき(と思われる)の表情には怯えや焦り、葛藤が見られる。でも女の子が頼れるのは自分だけだし、私がやるしかない。こう考えて拳を握り、実行。しかし女の子は(何故か)コトコに助けて貰ったという証言を撤回。これに対して「私はこの子のためにリスクを犯したのに。間違っていたのか？」と戸惑いを抱える。そうなると自分は無意味に人を殺害したことになることに気づく。そして「力のない人を助けることの何が悪い？私が正しい。」と自分を守るために続々と犯行を重ねてしまう。そのうち自分が快感を感じてしまっていること、裁くこと自体に価値を感じてしまっていることに気づくが、これもまた自分を守るために見て見ぬふりをしている。 MVの最後の表情には、自分がオオカミになってしまっていることへの恐怖、誰かに止めて欲しいと思っていることが表れている。 また「赦さないがほしい」の英訳は「Give me the verdicts of GUILTY」となっており、対象が自分になっている。

I can't wait for her 99.99% guilty ratio even if i'll be watching & vibing on her mv for the 3 next months

WE LOVE KOTOKO BUT SHE’S GETTING THE HIGHEST GUILTY RATE

I like how from this moment on, (2:21 - 2:48) the MV emphasized how Kotoko's supposed "justice" (aka violence) is indeed going out of control-- HER control to be specific. Truly shows how Kotoko's justice knows no limits.

アンダーカバーのエスは囚人の気持ちになって歌ってたり被害者のシルエット代わりになったりして囚人に寄り添うスタンスを取っていたけど この曲のコトコは彼らをコマ扱いし徹底的を見下し、看守気取りの自分が常に中心に映ってて明らかに対照的に描写してるのがわかる

私たちが一審ぶっちぎりでコトコを赦した結末であることをもっと考えないといけないって聴きながらいつも思う コトコが「私だけ赦すで良かったのに」じゃなく「赦さないだけ選んでよ」と言うのは自分のこともなのかなって思う 赦しちゃいけないことも、赦すがコトコを救えるわけじゃないことも分かるけど、みんながコトコのこと冷たく突き放した訳じゃないって伝えたくて今日も赦すよ この私たちのグラデーションまで伝わるのがミルグラムの面白さだな〜て思う

Congrats to Kotoko for coming out as a furry!

今まで女性陣の第2審楽曲には第1審のタイトルを彷彿とさせる歌詞が入ってるのに、コトコの楽曲だけ歌詞にHARROWじゃなくてアンダーが入ってるの、自分を理想のエスとして模倣してる感があっていいな

2:28 ここキレッキレで笑う 使えない011の看守ってところ、囚人番号振り分けてるしエスよりも自分の方が正しく裁ける、エスに成り代わって自分が看守になるのがふさわしいとか思ってるのかな…好き… それはそれとして多分赦さないけど…

0:49 1:40 『次の夢をくれよ』の英語訳が『Give me the next target』なのがもう好き 2:28 こっから自分以外の第一審で赦さないじゃなかった人達全員馬鹿呼ばわりも大好きさ。だけど007だけ隠していたいって『ない』がついてないのは何故だ。なんか情報見落としたか意味はないのか……囚人番号3の倍数は漏れなく第一審赦さないだったの覚えやすいな。ｱﾏﾈﾁｬﾝ……これ書いて気づいたけど歌詞にアンダーが付いてない奴らが第一審赦さないの奴らか

2:16 the red lights in the background telling kotoko to stop her actions but she kept going is honestly such a nice detail(?)

『正義に溺れる』ってまさにコトコちゃんのためにある言葉だなって改めて思いました。

コトコの対応からホンマに 「弱者を救う」ことではなく 「悪を滅する」ことが行動原理なんだなあ、って思ってしまって悲しい。

終わりがあるからこそ成り立つコンテンツなのは分かってるけどもう3分の2終わったのが信じらんない…続いて欲しい…

アマネの「信仰心」を英語版ではMAGICって訳してるの、いいねえ

Ik most ppl know that Kotoko talks about the inno prisoners near the end of the song but I literally haven't seen anyone talk about the first lyrics, it took me a stupid amount of time to figure out that she's talking about everyone 00:00 "Doltish, a codependency of the weak." If that's not Haruka idk who it is. 00:03 "Obscene, pulling all cords to stay warm." Haha get it? Cords. Yeah. (Yuno) 00:08 "Bringing back the cocky hero again? How embarrassing" That's Fuuta 00:10 "Incessant, this sorry round-robin of who's queen" Sorry QUEEN?? It's Muu 00:13 "Doomed, a peddling flower thief" Reference to Throw Down (Shidou) 00:18 "Still saying this is love, this is love, that's tough" She's attacking Mahiru physically AND mentally now istg 😞 01:01 "Concealing, coveting, glass half empty or full?" Reference to half (Kazui) 01:05 "Unstoppable, unbreakable MAGIC" Reference to Magic (Amane) 01:09 "Don't remember a thing, not a thing, poor Me poor Me" Basically mocking mikoto saying he doesn't remember murdering anyone (Also I see what you did there with the Me Me) 01:11 "Inept, inside a prison of the mind" now I'm GUESSING that's supposed to be Kotoko since she's literally the last on left (Okay it MAY be a second line for Es be of the whole inept thing but yk still not sure 🤷‍♀️) 01:14 "Swaying to and fro? Laughable justice" Basically criticising Es' (our) sense of justice I like that they I added all this because it's practically a reference to her voice drama, when she admitted to listening to all the interrogations before hers so she knew all about the personalities, the murders and the reactions to the first trial verdicts plus how Es interacts with each prisoner (Also I think that's why she asked Es if he has gotten attached to the prisoners in her new voice drama) ( ´꒳`)

ミルグラムは自分の手の中にあると思ってるコトコをチェスの駒で表すの天才

今更ボイドラから現状出ている曲を一気見した人間です。一審にも二審にも関われてませんが、コトコさんには出会いから二審MVに至るまでずっと純に「カッコいいなぁ」と思ってしまいました。　その感想を長文失礼します。 一気見だった弊害もあり感情がブレまくっていたからこそ、表裏なく一貫しているコトコさんに強く惹かれてしまったのかもしれません。それに私自身彼女のような熱情、悪に対する底知れない憎悪が生活する中で見え隠れしているのを自覚しています。価値観に強く共鳴してしまいました。当人が語っていた「なぜ悪人がのうのうとのさばっているのか。」「悪は問答無用で裁かれるべきではないのか。」私は考えないようにする事で正気を保っています。彼女はそれを『見ない・知らない・考えない』を選択して自身が悪に加担する事が許せなかったのかなぁとか勝手な妄想を。「その気も力もないなら私に任せろ。」その通り過ぎて何も言えないです。活力が削がれることを牙を抜かれるだなんて言いますが彼女は牙を担ってくれてたんですね。凄いや、やっぱカッコいいです。今は悪人を裁いていないと牙が疼いて仕方がないのも事実なんでしょうが。 彼女は私刑を続ける事で悪を全て抹殺、最後に自らが裁かれることで訪れる悪一つ無い世界を本気で信じている(た？)のだなぁ…と。それも語られるべき一種の思想であり、すぐに掌を返す私なんかよりは間違いなく正義。彼女の思想を「傲慢だ」と訴えても彼女は周りに「思考の放棄だ」と反論するでしょうから、一生相容れない気がしてしまいます。 Twitterも見に行きましたが彼女の審判は許さないに傾いてたので、三審で彼女の思想と過去への向き合い方がどう変わるのかなと期待の面持ちです。リアルタイムで追えてるのかな？これは。色々と楽しみに待ちます🙌

一瞬エスくんかと思った、、、どうなってるんだろうなんか嫌な予感しかしない、、。

1. Holy shit she’s insane 2. Insanity aside her drip is immense 3. SHE FINALLY CAME OUT AS A FURRY

フータとマヒルの駒が壊れてんの作りこまれてて好き。完全にエスの代役として振舞ってる、というか最後の「使えない11の看守」って言ってるようにエスより自分のほうが裁く立場にふさわしいと思ってるように感じる。コトコからしたらそこにどんな理由があれど人を殺したことのある他の囚人達を赦すことが理解できないんだろうな

バックコーラスでアンダーカバー流れてるのエスの代役を担ってる感じして好き

完全に許されたみたいな顔してるの傲慢すぎて好き

I think this MV shows that Kotoko is more obsessed with the idea of dishing out violent retribution than she is with actual justice. The scales first appearance in the MV has them shown askew. Scales typically represent weighing evidence and coming to a fair conclusion in law, though I imagine Kotoko is very biased towards seeing others as guilty, due to her desire to see the others being punished. She repeatedly pushes for the others to be considered guilty though she very clearly only has a shallow understanding of each prisoner. She isn't taking all of their circumstances into account at all, just focusing on their crime. Second of all, the child is an interesting factor in showing how committed to her vigilantism she is. It feels more like Kotoko is going through the motions, only seeing the girl as a distraction. She does not comfort the girl when she first clings to her, grabbing her shirt as if to pull the girl off of her. Her expression doesn't look comforting, but rather annoyed. When interacting with the girl the second time, she only briefly acknowledges the girl and mindlessly pats her head before going back to her phone and continuing to browse the news, likely looking for more crime. Later on, the girl sees Kotoko again, but gets scared. Perhaps this is because Kotoko practically ignored her, as well as the cold expression on her face. Kotoko cares much less about the victim more than she did the perpetrator. To her, the victim isn't important, the girl just gave her a reason for her to dish out violent justice and now that she's been saved, she's worthless to Kotoko. (Edit: I have been informed that it was likely that the girl pulled out of testifying, according to the article that Kotoko was reading in the second scene with the girl. This may have made her turn against the girl in anger. This showcases her black and white thinking, as she seems to assume the girl did this with malicious intent, not even considering if an outside force was at play. Also, the article says Kotoko claimed self-defense for killing the kidnapper, when it is very clear in the Harrow MV that it was not self-defense and Kotoko had the upper hand the whole time. Someone in the article even points out the excessive injuries on the kidnapper's body as a sign it was not self-defense. This is another example of her desire for bloodlust. There was no actual need for her to kill the kidnapper, but she continued attacking him until he was dead. Also, just to be clear, I am not saying the kidnapper was innocent by any means. Whether you think his murder was justified or not, I think we can all agree this was not self-defense.) I think the wolf growing and growing into more of a monster represents her growing bloodlust, or a growing desire to hurt people. It's the same reason she is unsatisfied and clearly seeking more crime after wrapping up the case and killing the kidnapper. She has nobody else to attack, to satiate the bloodlust inside of her. She wants to be seen as justified in what she does, she cannot attack "innocents" because that would be being hypocritical. That's why she is pushing for guilty votes. She wants an excuse to hurt the other prisoners again. She even calls Es inept, because after all, Es is just a tool for her. This is why all of the prisoners are shown as chess pieces. They are just toys for her to play around with. As a result of voting her innocent first trial, we have allowed her ideology to take root deeper in her mind, and it has grown into a monster as a result. Over the course of the MV, we see the moon going through its cycles until it becomes a full blood moon, then Kotoko begins transforming into a werewolf. I believe this showcases her ideology growing in her mind and making her more monstrous in her behavior. The final shot of the bloody scales in her hand shows how she uses justice as a weapon, rather than as an actual tool to help people. She doesn't care about justice, she just cares about getting to do what she wants, and she uses the concept of "justice" as a shield for her actions. Even her being dressed as the warden is another farce. The warden is the one who is allowed to punish as they see fit, and Kotoko desires that sort of power for herself. She is essentially using Es as a proxy to get that type of power. In conclusion, Kotoko is a good example of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. She stops crime not out of care for the victims, but out of the fact that she can feel justified in hurting the perpetrators and she uses the concept of justice as a shield against criticism of her actions, without actually caring about justice itself.

まだにわかだけど、どんなに傲慢でも、私はコトコちゃんが好きだよ。

I can't get over the fact that Yuno's piece has a belly because of the pregnancy haha😭

1:57 What i find most interesting is the moment she feels like the kid is done showing her the cap she turns back to her phone. Not continuing to look at the kid. Her phone, and whatever news was on there, is more important. She's prioritizing her next target over the kid she saved from her last. I feel like it's pretty clear in this that she cares more about her enaction of "justice" than the consequences. Sure the dude deserved it. Sure she did good by saving the kid. But that's as far as she follows up on because she can't help but hunt for something new. Kotoko's interesting and I am too brain dead to delve any deeper but There's something about the underlying chess motif. Kotoko does not have a chess piece. Did she shatter hers? Or does she just not have one in her mind, representing the "player" (warden)? Also something something every chess piece is inherently disposable as long as you win. Some are better than others, more versatile, but those can be disposed too. Edit: Haruka: pawn Yuno: pawn Fuuta: pawn/bishop? i cant tell Muu: Queen?/bishop Shidou: that's a rook Mahiru: bishop/pawn i cant tell what the actual fuck is it Kazui: rook Amane: Knight Mikoto: What the actual fuck is that????? fucking. Pawn???? sir what is wrong with your chess piece dear lord okay additional notes. i lied. i did not go do my important stuff due tomorrow. anyways. I find it interesting that these pieces all have a little touch to them. like. It's like Kotoko's personal notes Haruka's pawn is squished around the middle; currently think that's because Kotoko thinks it would be easy as pie to beat him up. Yuno's is round in the middle in contrast; Kotoko's thinking of Yuno's pregnancies and the round belly Fuuta. I can't tell whether that's a pawn or bishop but leaning a bit more to bishop due to sharp head. I have no clue if there's anything represented here. maybe Fuuta's own sense of justice? Muu's is taller than anyone else's so far. That's her ego. Kotoko refers to Muu as "queen" near the end iirc, so I am leaning towards that piece. However I would also. Would not be surprised if she ends up being a bishop, but since everyone's pieces is mildly fucked up idk Shidou is a rook. Thin around the middle but I'm fairly certain the ring is there for most rook pieces. technically i could walk out of the room rn and check but i am lazy. I'll touch upon the importance later Mahiru: lady. Lady What The Fuck Is That. Pawn??? hell if i know. Or maybe a bishop? The bowl-like thing at the bottom is interesting and im not sure what chess pieces milgram is using. im leaning more towards Pawn because I'm 98% sure that's what Kotoko would see her as Kazui: also a rook. These rooks are a lot taller than the ones in normal games but maybe the height is their own height?? wait but Muu's short. anyways. Rooks. So ya'see there's this thing called "Castling" in chess. Usually, the king can only move 1 space but Castling makes it so that the king moves inwards and rook moves outwards, being like. the only case where your pieces can walk through each other afaik. is there one for the queen's side? actually not the point. The point is: Castling is a defensive maneuver. The rooks are currently the "guardians"; Mahiru would be dead without Shidou and Kazui saved Fuuta from Kotoko. They're threats in Kotoko's mind, but defenders first and foremost. She understands that they can and will protect the others from her, which is why they are rooks. Amane: I was leaning towards knight but now I'm trying to figure out whether or not that'st just a weird pawn. If it is a knight that would be interesting because so far there's no other knight but. still. okay assuming Amane is a knight; knights have this weird ability to jump over other pieces. Perhaps it's Kotoko's mind jumping over Amane since she's a literal kid and she doesn't plan on hurting her? but also she just said she wants to beat up everyone so idk. I'm leaning more towards Pawn; Amane is still disposable Mikoto: like what the fuck is this i cant even. Mikoto. what the fuck. I'm leaning towards. He's some amalgation?? like. even if he's a pawn it's not a normal pawn. There are 3. cards?? in the middle; I'm putting this down as "if you grip it too hard it hurts" as Kotoko's form of "okay he can hold his own" Wow okay this went way off course I was not meaning to ramble this much but eh. Hope you found some use in this insight (Also. Kotoko sitting on a fucking throne don't think I don't see you Kotoko)

MILGRAMてコトコにとっては赦せない人の集まりなんだ。一人の女の子を助けた後にこの子以外にも助けがない人がいると気づいたんだな。でも、、あの女の子と一緒にいるときのコトコは本物のヒーローだったんだろうな。これ以上コトコを赦すとエスの私達のMILGRAMが壊れる暗示もある。

The animation in here definitely improved so much. The whole rotating animation is genuinely so satisfying to look at aaaa

If you watch carefully you might notice Kotoko's second victim. she also killed her entire career as best girl in one short video

2:42 she is staring directly at the viewers as she says "inept 011 guard"

三日月がどんどん満月になって、本性が現れ始めてる…

Kotoko fans it's so Kotokover for us when the mv releases

この曲だけ先行で聴いた時は「誰かを罪人にしてくれ。そして、そいつを自分に裁かせてくれ。看守が自分の暴力を振るう理由になってくれ。」って言ってるように感じたけど、PV含めてみたら「私を赦さないで。この衝動を止めて欲しい。」って言ってるんじゃないかって180度、曲への解釈が変わった。 前回も実は自分のやったことに恐怖を覚えていて、心の奥では赦さないでほしかったのかなとも思えてきちゃうね。 もしこの解釈が間違いで、コトコがたとえ赦して欲しいんだとしても、どっちにしろ前回の振る舞いは赦せないから赦さないよ！ 【追記】せっかくなので、自分なりの解釈をもう少し詳しく書きます。曲だけを受け取った状態ではどう考えても「囚人を誰も赦すな。私が行う私刑の大義名分のために。」ってこちら(エス)に言っていると感じる。だけど、PV含めて見ると、最初に出てきた女の子のシーンも「警察はあてにならない。裁きを下せるのが、女の子が頼れるヒーローが自分しかいない。私刑はダメだとわかってたし、正直怖かった。けど、自分がやるしかない」っていう怯えが混ざったような表情(と汗)と、やろうと決めた決意の表情と手の握りしめだったんじゃないかな。結果として私刑の快感に目覚めてしまうが、それを認めたくない。でも、制御もできない。だから、私刑に快感を覚えている自分に気づいてからは、女の子を威圧し、他人のふりをして通り過ぎる(PV中で読んでる記事の関係で女の子に裏切られたと思ったからの可能性も有り)。その後、MILGRAMでこの私刑までの行為含めて罪かどうかを問われ、1審で赦される。赦されたことによって、さらに自分の中の狂気が抑えられなくなっていく(私刑による暴力の承認)。終盤はオオカミになっていき、最後は血塗れでも自分の信義は貫けているのに凄く怯えた顔をしている。以上を踏まえて、曲とかドラマパート含めて冷静を保っているようにみえるけど、実は心の奥底で看守に「自分を赦さないで、お願いこの衝動を止めて」と訴えているんじゃないかなと思いました。

0:29 からの表情はもう自分がやってしまった事を自覚していて、ただこの子をそのままにして逃げていいかの葛藤だったのかな。結果見捨てなかったけど世間からはヒーローじゃなくて悪人としか見られなかった 大学にいられなくなって夢を追えなくなったから、せめてあの時の自分の選択は正しい、ヒーローであった事を認めて欲しいって感じ

At 1:10, not only can you see the claws, which is a good hint to the end, but when the table spins, the shadow has the wolf's feet as well! And as the song progresses, the full moon arises, so Kotoko transforms in the end, sort of like a werewolf Ps, the "poor Me poor Me" is a nice homage to MeMe

I am so excited for this. I also love Kotoko's uniform. The uniform looks a little militar and more imposing (her gloves even look like a weapon). It really shows how she sees herself like a tougher and more qualified Es. I wonder if this MV will be making references to Undercover in structure too. Maybe it will show us how Kotoko sees each of the other prisioners.

前の歌よりコトコ感が増して、かっこよくない？？？さすが愛美さん

最初にずっとアンダーって言ってるのエスが最初の曲でアンダーって言ってんの引き継いでるって感じなのかな、ほんとにエスが眠ってる間は私が全部やるよって言ってる感じする。

The vibe I’m getting from Kotoko here is that she doesn’t really care about the verdict. I feel like she already got what she wanted and she’ll continue to do what she wants regardless of the trial results. Either way, we’ll get more angry and feral Aimi and I love it haha

コトコを赦すにしても赦さないにしても第二審で誰も無事でいられる保証はないと思ってるからコトコを赦すに入れました 圧倒的赦さない率だよねコトコ… 裏で山中さんが計画通りってニヤついてるの想像出来る…

Kotoko basically starts beating evil for justice and now beating 'evil' is an addiction to her to the point she constantly seeks out people to beat up. Love my feral questionable hero.

1:34 ……ギルティ組… すきだ全体的にかっこよすぎる

This mv shows her going from a hero who saves a little girl to a monster that even that kid fears. I love the simbolisym going on with the moon fases and her turning into a blood thirsty werewolf.

曲の最後最後一審で赦された子たちの呼び方、 ｢寄生虫｣｢淫乱嬢｣｢偽女王｣｢解剖兵｣｢虚言人｣、そしてその子たちとエスに対して｢くだらない｣｢はしたない｣｢変わらない｣｢救えない｣｢隠していたい｣｢使えない｣て言ってて、その言葉聞いてくとやっぱ悪いことしてるてゆうふうに思わせようとしてる風に思えて、まるで｢赦さない理由なんてある｣て言われてるみたい……

助けた女の子が目の前では笑顔なのに、記事ではコトコが助けてくれたって証言をあとから取り消したって書かれていて、その時のシーンがすごく寂しく感じてしまう。最後の冷たい視線はコトコの正義を認めてくれなかった女の子や世間への憤りとかがあるのかな。曲だけ聴いた時は独裁イメージが強かったけど、映像がついてコトコの孤独ややりきれなさ、危うさを感じる曲になった気がする。

It's almost end of voting and still 928k 😢 people please help us... Kotoko deserves 1M... pretty please

「赦さないだけ選んでよ」って勿論ほかの囚人のこと言ってるんだろうなとは思うんだけど、変わってしまった自分に対しても「赦さない」を選んで欲しいのかなと一瞬錯覚してしまった。

コトコは少女が証言を取り消した記事を読んでも彼女の頭を撫でていたよ 多分犯罪者の親が権力者だったせいで色んな圧力がかかって最終的にその全てが赦せなくなったんだと思う

ミルグラムの囚人番号順頭から2人ずつに共通のテーマがあるって良く言われてるわけだけど ハルカ・ユノ　→　愛されたい フータ・ムウ　→　自分は悪くない シドウ・マヒル→　愛する人のために カズイ・アマネ→　救われたい (超絶個人的意見) で、そうなるとミコトとコトコの共通点はなにか。 順張りなら「ストレス発散・鬱憤ばらし」あたりが妥当かと思ってたけど、今回のMVのラストでコトコが衝動に任せて暴れて、最後の最後で我に返ったのか苦痛の表情(というか目)をしてたことから、ミコトほどとは言わないまでも多重人格気質なのかもしれないと感じたかな。 女の子を見た時に冷たい目を向けてたのも本気で覚えてない説もあるし。 追伸 「ミコトとコトコ」って語感可愛いね

正直第二審で他囚人を攻撃したってことに引っ張られすぎてみんな肝心の罪観てなくない？

If you look closely at the thumbnail, Kotoko appears to be crushing something with her fist and the shards have blood on it. It appears she cut her own hand destroying it. I wonder what this could mean… maybe representing her ideals going out of hand and hurting herself while trying to purge evil? Or is this representative of maybe there’s self loathing for her actions in here somewhere but her smile is trying to cover up those thoughts.

I’m not good at theories but the one thing I noticed was Kotoko talking about the other prisoners and calling them names at 2:28 and here she refers to Es as 011 and that they’re ‘inept’. I think it’s interesting to see how she views the prisoners who were forgiven.

コトコは狼人間みたいに変わってしまうのを月で表現してる感あって最高

i think that kotoko's "give me the next target" is a play on words in japanese, especially considering the wolf theme in the MV. "次の夢をくれよ" (tsugi no yume wo kure yo) means "give me the next dream," and it sounds like "月の夢をくれよ" (tsuki no yume wo kure yo), which means "give me the moon's dream." really cool

1:18 笑えちゃう正義でコトコが笑ってる凝ってるなぁ〜

コトコちゃんにとっては、自分以外全員赦されないのが理想なんだろうなあ、、、でもそれが正しいのかと言われるとなると、、、

the similarities between deepcover and UNDERCOVER is insane milgram you did good 🙏🙏🙏 massive lore drop bro we knew es was the last prisoner from the start

最後の目の下がピクピクするのって典型的なストレス反応だからコトコも内心は残虐な衝動に抗えないのがしんどくて堪らないのかもしれない

so, I just thought about something: its pretty clear by now that the more fantastical parts of each MV present the characters as they see themselves (e.g. "John" batting dummies to relieve stress, Haruka as a child, or, as seen here, Kotoko as a "better" warden). in Harrow, we see Kotoko in a blizzard-strewn forest, lost until the wolf (i.e. the part of herself that revels in violence) guides her to her destination. Maybe she yields to her sadistic impulses not because she simply enjoys it, but because she feels lost and purposeless without them (which is why she also needs to rationalize it as punishing wrongdoers, as that gives it an objective). she's now found that purpose (replacing Es as Milgrams warden), but in exchange that violent part of herself has grown so large that not even she can stop it.

Amazed by the visuals alone and how strikingly violent and eye-catching it is which fits the context, It's very obvious how clearly unstable she is and she's somewhat aware of it. If the werewolf and bloodlust metaphor isn't evident enough, the kid she helped was scared of her in the later parts of the video and knowing that the MV's are in the prisoners point of view we can deduce that yeah the kid knows how the person who saved her from harms way is turning into this scary violent person that won't be budged until she gets the justice that she craves. And Kotoko knows that, She knows impartially that she's turning into something that is clearly destructive but may think that it is an inescapable role that she needs to deliver because external factors won't let her view of justice happen. (this reasoning coming from the moon phases imagery and the werewolf itself, maybe showing how this was bound to happen one way or another) Excited for the theories and observations from the community!!

コトコちゃんが女の子を助けた時は女の子を助けたいが正義を執行したいより先にきていたと思う 今は完全に誰かを助けたいより正義を執行したいが勝ってしまっているよね

So this is obviously a parody to undercover - it shows how kotoko sees the prisoners and Es, the last chorus was absolutely insane how she counted everyone who wasnt voted guilty in the first round. And then we have her dissecting Es as an inept guard , it annoys her that we forgave anyone to begin with, everyone (but herself ? Unsure if she counts herself as guilty) is guilty in her eyes and deserve death as a punishment. We also learned her reason to fight, that being the little girl in the MV, shes either someone who Kotoko saved or a family member that got abused and saved by her ( dont know which one it is not do i think it changes the fact how much she hates injustice with every fiber of her being) So conclusion, dont let her out, give her the guilty verdict that she desires and lets see how or if she changes her views.

Being a kotoko defender is a literal hardcore cuz I can't believe so many of you guys vote her guilty like bro she literally dropped this banger like what? 💀

The article she was reading shows the little girl was a witness for when she attacked and killed a guy in self defense, but later took out her testimony (defending Kotoko) Some people think she may have gotten mad at the girl for that but in 1:59 she is patting the girl on the head, while she reads the article, if they wanted to showcase Kotoko read it and then distanced herself from the girl right away, they could have showed her taking her hand out of the girl's head or something?? In the scene right after, the girl goes met Kotoko as if nothing is wrong, I think if the reason was the article itself, Kotoko would have reacted instantly, not act like it was fine and just be mad the next time her and the girl met Also the girl was a witness, not the victim in this case I think the little girl, as she idolizes Kotoko after saving her, started following her around even when she was doing vigilante work, when she killed the guy and could have gotten into trouble the girl acted as testimony in favor of her, but Kotoko was the one who told the girl to retrieve her statement as she didn't want the girl to get involved Her acting cold towards the girl, might be because she decided she wanted the girl to be safe and get away from her, or that she should focus more on her "goal" instead of making conections (lonewolf imagery) as she went bigger on her justice trip, ending up cutting ties with the little girl Edit: typos

もうコトコちゃん歌声もビジュもかっこよすぎる…😳

I believe Kotoko herself is aware she is morally deemed as guilty. At the end of the MV she is seen with red eyes, the same red eyes as the guilty prisoners on the voting page. Secondly, at the end of the MV her eyes seem to swell with tears and it feels like she regrets what she's done. I think voting her guilty will make her fully realize that her previous behavior was wrong.

CONGRATS ON 1M, KOTOKO! next target is deep cover 1M streams on spotify 🙏

0:32 0:37で現れる2つの駒を0:11から現れる囚人たちの影と駒に照らし合わせると、それぞれフータ、マヒルのものだと考えられる なぜ赦されなかったミコト、アマネの駒が現れなかったのか それはコトコ的に「解答を刻み込んだ」ことが出来たのはフータとマヒルだけだと考えているからではないかと思う ミコトには互角の勝負をされ、アマネはジャッカロープが言っていたように時間切れか、もしくは個人的な考えになるが、このMVの女の子と重ねてしまった なのでこの2人は「解答を刻み込んだ」のは中途半端に、もしくは出来ずに第二審が始まり「解答を刻み込む」ことが不可能になってしまった あくまで個人の見解ですのでご容赦を……

「あなたの牙になったよ」が「あなたの''希望''になったよ」に聞こえる…… やっぱり「弱きを助く」が「悪を裁く」っていう自己満足に目的がすり替わってしまってるんだろうか…

reasons to vote not to forgive: 1. her violence is demonstrably completely out of control, something she may or may not be aware of since it seems to be totally consuming her 2. she believes that anyone deemed as evil deserves to be punished extremely harshly, regardless of any circumstances around the crime (because people enjoy seeing the evil be punished/have bad things happen to them---from the voice drama) 3. (voice drama) she finds it cowardly for her actions to be seen as unreasonable when most people would simply do nothing at all when faced with evil, which is kind of an understandable sentiment, except that these ACCUSED crimes are NOT AT ALL equal with each other in severity LMAO 4. she doesn't actually care about justice anymore and just wants to find more targets (she is seen as scary to the girl she saved instead of being seen as nice/comforting, which she used to be) 5. she wants to beat/kill basically everyone in milgram anyway if she can just get the permission to. so it's pretty critically necessary to get her to stop rampaging lol 6. basically she's like a cop on a power trip. suffice to say i imagine the ratio will probably be 90% or more reasons to vote to forgive: 1) she's a VERY hot werewolf.................... awooga 2) it would be EXTREMELY funny and INCREDIBLY CATASTROPHIC if she got even worse than this (said like a true kotoko fan)

月とどんどん凶暴になっていく姿のカット、オオカミって感じでかっこいい…そして看守風衣装が良すぎる…

歌詞というか曲だけ知った状態でMV観るっていうのも違う楽しみ方ができて良き(*^^*)

三審通達までには100万再生行きそう…それはそれで結構すごい事だよなぁ 月日の経過ってのもあるだろうけど確実に人口は増えてきてるよね、もっと知れ渡れMILGRAM

1:58 My Japanese isn't good enough to read it, but the article Kotoko is reading on her phone seems important, doesn't it? Using a translator, it seems to be about the case in which Kotoko murdered the kidnapper, and the subsequent trial. It mentions that Kotoko used "more violence than necessary". Then it mentions something about an elementary school student retracting their testimony...? It would be really cool if someone was able to translate this!

単純にコトコさん好きです🎀🌸

ドラマパートでも、エスのような監獄の主導権を握る立場になろうと、なりたがってるから、サムネ見た瞬間にアガった。一瞬エスかと思った。 17日はマヒルの誕生日で、数日前後には自分の誕生日、そして公開の4日後にはライブ。 投稿が遅れたのは悲しかったけど、タイミングを考えれば個人的に最高。 監獄の中が、小説や漫画とめっちゃ一致してて興奮した。 0:31　第一審で赦されずにボコされた人たちね。 1:35　第一審で赦されなかった人たち コマの破壊だけど、死んだらどうなるんだろ。 月が満ちるほどに正義が暴走していってる。 なぜ犯罪者を私刑し始めたかは分からないが、女の子を一人助けて救えた事から正義が暴走しているのか。 少なくとも正義を貫いて幸せそうには見えなかった。一度誰かを救けられてその人がどれだけの思いをしたのかが肌に感じられて、そこから怒りの増幅と犯罪者に対する憎悪が増えてた。その感情で辛そうに見えたね。正義を執行できないと晴れる感情じゃないから監獄内では多少しんどいんじゃない？

Last MV of 2nd trial! "Deep Cover" seems to be a nod to Es' song,, and the song itself focuses on Ktk's role as their 'fangs'. The uniform fits her well, it's definitely befitting for an assistant warden/executioner. Damn, that's so cool.

HOLY SHIT SHE LOOKS SO GOOD

Kotoko has potential to do good, I want to believe there is a real kind side to her, but she has SO MUCH bloodthirst! Her words can sound logic, but it is hard to believe them when we can clearly see she wants to hunt and sink her fangs more than anything, the reasons for it are just excuses, just like she lists it at the end of the song. In Milgram, the veredict of the trial affects the prisioners mind, she will just spiral down the road of blood if we vote her innocent, not saying we can "save" or "fix" her but we can at least make it "not worse".

can we get this to 1M

001~011の最後のくだりをこんなに歌に落とし込んでかっこいい曲を作るでこになさんが大好きだ

OMG SO GOOD! I CRIED WHEN SHE SAID "I'M INNOCENT" I'LL VOTE HER **GUILTY**

Did everyone notice "011 Inept Guard" at 2:41? Es is just as much of a target to Kotoko as everyone else, and girlie's going to start a prison riot soon.

She’s the embodiment of that meme of a werewolf sitting under a tree

コトコの力強い声とストレートなロック良すぎる 今までで一番好きかもしれん
