What's in an OP? - The Best Part of ERASED 

Honestly

legit

Game theory in a nutshell

Ela teachers be like

He would make a great english teacher

it fucked us all up tbh

ikr when i saw that op I was like wait a minute something is wrong replayed it and saw that he has disappeared i was like da fuq he got erased

When I saw it I litteraly screamed and my parents were like "hey ... are you okay ..?"

cookie i thought he died..

cookie lmao I thought he was dead

Wow. I never noticed that. Well spotted!

Your a god

i bet you win every spot the difference XD

I had noticed that those two "i" hiragana characters were different from each other, but I never figured out the meaning behind it. Good find!

damn baby girl good find I can only understand 3 characters so I couldn't spot the difference

+Crick1952 "When I watched the ep 11 intro I immediately noticed Saturo was gone" Only for the viewer to realize that Satoru appeared in that very same episode, therefore making the change completely out of place.

+amon nunes FarofaPoop Some people might say that And I cant blame but Its not out of place. it was a hidden concept of the plot that satoru's timeline now changed Because of a jump leap for being in a comatose state. So now the future/life he once had has been erased and the future of his friends are now moving forward without him which is why he was not there. Kinda Feels like HE was the one who was erased(not kayo) from the reality/original timeline he once knew, You see what I did there, No? okay :(. It was just rushed because the anime rushed some parts and changed some parts from the manga because they didnt want a s2 . If the show was more than 12 I can see that opening be used several episode before going back to its original op People would easily Understand its deeper meaning and about the story about kayo and Airi's Role. Ep 10 and forward really felt rushed to me when I read the manga with its differences.

denzel padilla I see what you mean by that, but really it's just my opinion on how Episode 11 turned out. Honestly, when I watched the OP I was thinking about Satoru's fate, if he died or if he just went comatose and when he appeared in that episode he was... in a coma. For 15 years. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T JAM THE SEATBELT.

I understand :D

me too. a few hours ago

+charissahoo I did, I thought Kenya and the teacher were in it together lol

+charissahoo In the series his eyes also flashed red when talking satoru, as well as the last scene of him talking to yashiro, therefore one can assume the anime was trying to make him seem somewhat suspicious.

+charissahoo I DID suspect Kenya for the same reasons. And i also thought that he was the killers partner. But then all my suspicion went away when we see him all grown up after....i can't spell his name, the main character wakes up from the coma.

Your not alone

I thought he was gonna die or at least targeted though ngl he seemed sus also when I saw Yashiro with the mom I though it was cause they were involved with child services boy I was wrong

yea I can't believe I didn't see that.

+Beelzebub I noticed it in the second episode and I was totally freaking out! i didnt know who it was!

yea it was a nice touch

the failsaves of the eye catching blew my mind. Those screens are really huge, and filling them with important enough information that all of it leads to one conclusion while transitioning screens is incredible.

+ZerogunRivale +1!

+ZerogunRivale please make it happen

+ZerogunRivale Oh my god this is AMAZING Please do this!

+ZerogunRivale OR STEINS;GATE REVIEW OR SCENE ANALYSIS ANYTHING WITH STEINS;GATE

Yes!!!!!!

+Mlpmrenterfan ( knight of heart ) You'll be happy to know he has his own spin off manga!

+z55177 what's it called?!

***** Really?!

+Mlpmrenterfan ( knight of heart ) That's not how you spell Kayo

Carlos Bonilla That is not how you spell Kenya

Cider Bizet you got a good eye, never noticed that until i put the pieces of the show together.

Yeah also you had watch this in like a week I watched a month ago and no one had watched it back then

you are a genius

plus you can see shards of what seems to be metal or should I say car parts

Yes yes yes .... I feel exactly the same ! The ending was so good and satisfying like , no loose ends or unnecessary melodrama or deaths. I saw many people commenting that they were pissed when Hiroumi got married to Kayo. That was definitely out of the blue but .... She's happy and not abused anymore and that's what matters 🤗

@@rakhi3018 they should’ve at least shown her being happy they didn’t do shit with Hiromi and Kayo and that’s what pissed me the most

@@Deathmare235 didn't have time (also what they did show was much more important its called story.)

@@elismart13 they didn’t show the full story and it even happened in the manga it should’ve never just happened it’s not my fault for getting attached to said story

@@Deathmare235 what well sorry but just think logically they had to decide I thought the ending was great and realistic. That's a +

viva Israel 😃

+Edgewen and the amount in the box: "$Like a million"

I've gotten like seven new pledges today so apparently it worked.

Honestly? If it weren't for the fact that I'm broke atm, you'd have eight. :D I love your work, though I'd love to see more throwback work.

+Mother's Basement You'd get more if you were actually passionate and was serious, like if it ment a lot to ya. But thats just me, I know you have a style and you'll stick to it.

Such wow

+Jorge Rivas YESSSSSSS

+Jorge Rivas whats an ed

+Ivan Entrialgo Ending. Meant a video like this for the ending of Erased. This is the first video dissecting an opening like this and was pretty good.

+Ivan Entrialgo an ed is a ending.

yes please!

Yo I was like: THATS WHYYYY. Holy shot

it wasn't unfitting though

+Darkion Beat me to it ;)

honestly, if you couldn't work out who the killer was you're pretty stupid. it was painfully obvious.

Yeah, it was so painfully obvious that I convinced myself that he wasn't the killer because that'd be too painfully obvious. But I was wrong

you could know who the assasin was like in episode 3

Lol me too. I thought "okay it's so obvious they're trying to make it look like the teacher is the killer. But there's gonna be a twist and he's not gonna be it." Then well... damn.

TastesLikePanda not to dissapoint you but i knew who killer is on ep 2. like they made it so obvious i didn't want to believe it at first.

I didn't notice these things, so I'm pretty sure they're not very obvious haha

True

I finished it yesterday too

Same here

I already finished it, but good for you.

I am 3 years late.

+AnimalLover99 *boy

+Gabriel New oh Yah haha. I'm still confused.

I love how the series points out that too.

+AnimalLover99 boy* but yea that was indeed surprising...

+Shruk Pls I know I messed up lmao please forgive me.

kingargola Same

yeah, plz

Yeah fuck yeah plz plz

+Diablo Mask I agree!

yes please!!

+Shan Veniot I figured that's supposed to show us how Satoru's actions that resulted in him being put in the coma also saved Jun from being framed for the murders.

As in, Satoru has been "jailed" instead?

+Alex M but if you look on both sides there are three black and four white. I think it's mostly because he needed to short down the video so we don't get an long video.

s-ockerdricka maybe you should shorten your comment by 1 letter

lol cmon man

Volt65 I was glad that she tried to be happy and make the most of the life given to her. What bugged me was the fact that she didn't wait for him while the killer did...

+Volt65 There's an extra chapter in Erased GAIDEN. It says Kayo waited 2-3 years for Satoru to wake up. But she wasn't living up to her full potential and she was wasting valuable time in her teenage years, just sitting at the hospital, waiting for him. Satoru's mom noticed Kayo and told her to go live a better life. That's when Kayo stopped and decided that she was going to move on, whether Satoru woke up or not.

When your killer waits for you but your girl doesn't...

whyamiseba These girls ain't loyal

+Lucas Bons I know right~ there's a lot in the ED to explain too, plus the song sounds really good, like it's my current jam

In my mind Kenya being gay is canon no joke 😂

+Alex Isn't cool I thought it was Hiromi, but then he totally cockblocked his best friend

+Connor McCloskey I still haven't forgiven that mushroom for ending up with Kayo. Uncalled for 😆

Alex Isn't cool How did you find this out?

Yeah, Hiromi was like super close to totally kissing the MC in one of the episodes when Satoru is walking him home, but I guess he decided to go from cocksucking to cockblocking.

+A Random Otaku there's more face in some of my game reviews Oh, and Cory. Also, if your friends don't agree with you, tell them THEY'RE weird

Mother's Basement Ah, really? I had no idea! It must've slipped my mind that you made game reviews... And Cory? As "In the House"? That I absolutely HAVE to see. Also, just wait till my friends hear that THEY were the strange ones! MWAHAHA!

He's pretty cute ^~^

+A Random Otaku I don't see it but maybe it's because I'm a heterosexual guy XD

I don't see it either. He's not ugly but she's definitely not handsome/attractive either. I would give him like a 4 or 5 out of 10.

+MrChocolatez a lot of money and all my dignity

+Mother's Basement I'd say just stick to clickbaiting pics like Sao one xD

+Charlie Crack Corn what?

+Mother's Basement hey I have a question why diden't you cover the third version of the op and what does it mean when characters have red eyes

+Poppa G he covered the theme of red in Erased in a different video ^^

DEATHxTHExKIDx1 I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL NOW JOLY MACAROONS

+ohgodmynutbladder FUCK

+Lanvidia12 MY

KAYO

UP

, HIROMI

That would be cool, but which version?

Adam De Julius the first one at least and hopefully all

+Oikawa Tooru All of the OP/EDs in HunterxHunter are pretty simplistic, I think OP5 has the most creative imagery overall. Would still love to see a holistic view on on all 6 though. Still holding out for Rurouni Kenshin.

YEAH!

YEA

+SirDarkHero *JIBUN WO*

+shelby ladra Well, given that only one female of this anime isn't underage, it would be quite weird to see a cameltoe... Oh, wait... In SAO... OH WAIT...

+mariosonicboom123 YES PLEASE

What am I supposed to be seeing??

rowan henry His right foot goes through the ground

I don't see it. Never mind. I see it now. Ghost powers.

+Katromore DxD Suggested amount, "Like, a million". 0:50 xD talk about details.

nope, they showed that same image in episode 1 or 2 when talking about Jun. The reason he wasn't in the cell in the ep 11 op was probably bc satoru prevented him from being framed so he never went to jail.

oh okay my bad

+Percy Pikmin I thought so too initially but there's a small detail that contradicts this: - The person in the prison cell was back behind bars in the final episodes opening. The question is: "Could that even be Satoru? He was never shown in a cell after all..." True, but the opening works with metaphors and (potentially cut) concepts just as much as it employs foreshadowing. And since he was captured as well as handcuffed by the police it's obvious that this is the future awaiting Satoru in his fucked up (default?*) timeline. Now, much more important, could that still have been Jun? No. No, it couldn't have been him. Because, as you yourself pointed out, Satoru changed the past so much at that point, that "Yuuki" never got incriminated. "But wait! It may just be the Jun from the fudged up timeline, right?" Not exactly. First of all, if that was the case, why would he be missing in the previous episode's op? And secondly, at that point in the series, the future was already changed for the better so why would that future even still be relevant? It's way more plausible, that this is a metaphor for the murderer screwing up the protagonist's life, one way or another. Not to mention Satoru's (and co.'s) entire life(s) was (were) forcefully impacted/restricted, which is implied by a jail sentence, whose entire point is to restrict contemporary freedoms. But hey, that's just my train of thoughts. If there's any detail I overlooked, which may turn all of my inane ramblings upside-down, please feel free to point it out! *Whether the first timeline we observe is even the first or not can be debated. There isn't all that much pointing towards such a possibility, but there isn't much disspelling it either. So it's very possible, that when Satoru as a child said, he could have prevented Kayo's murder, he may not have blamed himself for no reason. Chances are he already had "revivals" as a kid or another older version of him already tried to change the past, but failed and was stuck too long in his child body. That, coupled with the traumatic experience/depressing reality that he was powerless against fate, prompted his mind to erase his more mature/intelligent/calculating part as a result, Admittedly that is, if anything, not much more than an impressive display of hugely grasping at straws, but... eh... speculating is fun at times. I'm somewhat niffed, that Jeff didn't mention how similar Satoru's and Yoshio's poses are in the shot with Airi, Kayo and the mother. It was a great... red herring, as it turns out, for Satoru BEING the killer, but at least it implied their two-sides-of-the-same-medal relation. But oh boy, I'm rambling again... sorry, I kinda tend to get sidetracked on occasion. Not to mention that wasn't even part of the original conversation, so I'll stop here.

It follows the timeline, so he saved everyone in exchange for being in a coma, thus jun not being in jail
