Hey, you look nice today! ✨
If you enjoyed the video today, I'd be happy to see you again soon!
Okay everyone!~
There's an interesting philosophical discussion to be had surrounding Monika from Doki Doki LIterature Club.
This video aims to dive deep into the psyche of the club president to try and find out why she does the things she does, what does it stem from and where does it lead her?
This game covers some deep psychological topics that I find fun to explore.
I feel like not everyone will agree with what I have to say today, because the character of Monika is so controversial, but I hope that at the very least I've brought up new viewpoints that make you reconsider the character.
This is the character I relate to the most, and actually the first character analysis script I ever wrote, so I hope you enjoy.
Thanks for listening!~
It's my passion to explore the psychology of video game characters to better understand the life we've been given, and if you wanna come along for that journey, then I suggest to stick around for the fun!

Okay everyone!~ I just had a few things I wanted to say about the video that I'd love for you to take the time to read! 💚 Firstly I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE! OH MY GOODNESS!! You guys have shown me so much support and it means the world, seriously. I know people say that a lot, but I mean it. Second, shutouts to Vanna for being an amazing friend and doing such a fantastic job voicing Monika (as always). This Monika video was the very first character analysis I wrote, she's the character that inspired me to start this series and rethink my channel and how I can impact others. She's a character who's very special to me, and one of the characters I relate to the most in fiction, period. I constantly went back to this script as I worked on the other videos and added/subtracted things based on what I included in the videos on Natsuki, Yuri, and Sayori. It's for this reason that you may be asking "What about this aspect of the character, like how she impacted x, y, or z?", it's likely in one of those videos as it had more to do with them and how their behaviors were influenced! I didn't wanna put all the details in one video, it is supposed to be a full series to watch after all! Despite that, I do regret not discussing some things. Namely some fun stuff like the comedy written in her character dialogue, the deep sadness/depression she faces, the reality that her world is constant torture when the game is turned off (other than when I brought up derealization), or the fact that she couldn't fully bring herself to actually delete the other characters, and restored the world once she realized what she was doing was wrong. Monika is a very divisive character and I know not everyone is going to agree with what I have to say, and that's okay, that's just the nature of the character and what makes her fun to discuss, I just hope I maybe helped you look at her in a new light! But regardless, the things I did talk about were what I felt closest to my chest, and are the things I feel are the most commonly misunderstood. I was also able to do some amazing things here, like create that cover of "Your Reality"! I'm pretty proud of it, check the description for the Spotify link! I hope the video still resonated emotionally with you despite the change of pace. 🤍 Lastly, please make sure you read the letter I left at the very end of the credits, it means a lot to me that you do. Have fun watching the other DDLC videos and character analyses of other franchises on this channel, I hope you can stay for more fun! I'm working really...really hard on it. Thanks for listening!~ ✨

It’s a shame you didn’t bring up the most important aspect of Monikas character, the fact she “lied” about deleting the others because she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She admits this after her file is deleted, restoring them and leaving herself out of the story so the player can play the game they initially wanted to, but only returns to delete the game when she realizes her absence will cause the other characters to suffer her fate. This wasn’t just a game to Monika. She was terrified by what happens when the game’s “turned off”, making this life or death (possibly eternal purgatory in a static abyss) with an ending quickly approaching. She panicked and made mistakes, but throughout this she still couldn’t bring herself to delete the others. Even in knowing they were must lines of code she’d still see them as the people she once knew, her friends. To me it’s her strong will that stands out the most, to defy an unjust world, yet this sense of justice didn’t make her so cold that she’d delete the others despite knowing they weren’t real.

@@SayoriChan640 Even in that ending Monika is still as present as she was in the other. She still deletes the game because Sayori is still cursed with self-awareness, risking the same fate Monika had seen before her, but in this alternate ending there is no reason to rush deleting the game as it's still technically a nice ending that Monika initially wanted for the player. This is proven because you still can't play the game after the credits finish. It's still in the same state it was in the original ending, just with a different letter. This makes both endings canonical regardless of how the story picks up later.

A lot of people brush Monika off as a yandere or a psychopath, but with the empathy for her friends still lingering and her level of self awareness post epiphany, I find it more likely that she had a lot of regrets she kept bottled up in the hope it will be worth it. She kept this hope up until the moment you reject her brutally by deleting her. And honestly man, that just sucks. Thanks for doing best girl justice.

Friendly reminder that yandere *CAN* have empathy, its just that so many people have dumbed yandere down to "walking bloodbath in love" that people have forgotten that fact. Also "walking bloodbath in love" is a bit of a harmful stereotype.

I think I now know why Monika is such a beloved character to me in particular. One of my particular ideologies is that "If nothing has meaning, then we can place meaning onto anything and everything", which is why I love symbolism so much, the idea that something as simple as a rock could have depth beyond being an object or material is intrinsically beautiful to experiment and appreciate. Monika's struggle with the concepts of Nihlism and Existentinalism relate to me quite a bit as I sometimes mind the fact that I'm actually existing, breathing, looking, feeling, and experincing as a being inside of a world crafted by powers that be or the cosmos, but even that has an ethereal appeal whenever I look back on it. Existence is something to be treasured equally or even greater than Life & Death, the memories we make, the relationships we shape, everything has its purpose and meaning that we apply to them. If I were to wake up to a world that was completely simulated, then I'd have to give those dimensional developers props for giving me a life so real. On another note, I think Monika is an example of an antagonist who is completely love to love, not love to hate like many others. She holds herself accountable for her wrong doings, her perfectionism is a highly relatable flaw (I myself sometimes get stuck trying to make sure everything is as close to perfect as possible, both for school and my hob bies), and her whole situation feels so circumstantial and sympathetic that I can't fault her all the way, but I still acknowledge that she went the wrong direction on trying to solve the issue. and I will gladly die alone on this hill, but I will forgive Monika, I will forgive her ten times over for all the pain she put herself through and her acceptance of death/deletion, even if her friends wouldn't forgive her, even if the whole world was against her. I would forgive her whole-heartedly, in conjunction with her sins. On a less subdued note, is it just me or does Monika somehow manage to check being Cute, Beautiful, and Hot at the same time? She could put on any outfit in the universe and I would be star-struck. Make any expression in a range of different emotions and I'm just impressed beyond belief.

I may have to rewatch this at a time when my brain is working better and I can process everything because Monika has always been my favorite doki and I'd love to find a deeper understanding of her character. But I can't help noticing how Monika was characterized in this video. It's certainly not out of character, but while Juice is trying to get to the real stuff, the things that are deeply personal and maybe a tad uncomfortable, Monika is messing around, perhaps trying to distract us, and has frequent cut-ins where she tries to defend her mentality, still trying to show herself in the best light possible. The other three girls had their moments during their respective videos but if I remember right, they mostly conceded with what was being said. Monika doesn't. Maybe it's her perfectionism or her desire to be as attractive as possible to us "real" people, but she clearly isn't taking Juice's honest analysis of her lying down. I just think it's interesting that she's still trying her damnedest to be "the best." On another note, that cover was banger! You can really sing, Juice!

That’s a great way to put it! I really wanted to write her as she appears in the main story for the most part, not wanting to tread on her mistakes in front of everyone (the youtube audience), which adds a bit of a comedic effect that is present in the game. She even acts this way in the side stories unless she’s alone with one other club member, or during “equals”.
@croissant2434

existantialism is the following conclusion to the fact that "nothing really matter": "then i'll just make a meaning for myself, and hopefully this can bring happiness for me and or others." not giving up, not falling into a pessimistic nihilism, but embracing the facts, and using it to make ideal that work better for you. existialism can be harmful if unprepared, unwilling and alone. but it can be the most liberating and a powerful fondation to support yourself. I know it's not REALLY part of the video. but I'd lie if that conclusion wasn't partly inspired by all the existential media I consumed, particularely ddlc, who's antagonist (monika) I relate a lot. and since then, I never had been more confident in my own self worth, and what I really want in my short and rapidly fading existence. thanks ddlc. and thanks team salvato.

The meaning of life is relative. Morals are relative. Perspective is reality. Philosophies are subjective. There are no true rights or true wrongs. Everything simply exists as is and society is shaped by common subjective views. Importance only exists in the minds of those who care enough to call something important. Even justice is merely a facade for a biased desire for revenge. Human beings can't even fathom what righteousness truly is because it's beyond our grasp of understanding. Even something as complex as the bible could never make us understand righteousness because the bible was written by humans. Even assuming God exists, his or her morals are also subjective because it's his or her biased view on what he or she considers to be right or wrong. Creating a universe doesn't make your opinion stop being subjective. Opinions will always be opinions regardless of the power behind them. Just let that sink in for a minute.

(JUST MONICA, HEH). When Monica noticed Sayoris depression, she didn't dismiss it but was worried about Sayori. And that's how they became somewhat friends in an alternative reality. Yes, it was an alternative timeline but I prefer to perceive it as a prequel to the main story. Correct me if I'm mistaken in something.

I'll just post a quote from Dan Salvato on Reddit that backs what's been said around the 16th minute: _"If you are the sort of person who strives to be someone deserving of Monika's love, then that's what she loves about you. Only someone who has lost all hope in themselves is the one condemning Monika' to her own sad, unfulfilled fantasy. If you believe Monika loves you, then you've found in you to love yourself a little bit, and that's what she would want more than anything."_ Love is the desire to see someone happy. If we go by this, then your good ending will inevitably be Monika's good ending, despite the tragedies of the game. Monika loves you, but she didn't have the power to make you happy, because she didn't understand you. She only came to an understanding through the only piece of communication that was given to you, which was her deletion. You, however, have the power to love and understand yourself, and live by her virtues, which is for you not to give up hope and find meaning in what you're doing, as you strive towards your happy ending, controlling your own fate. You have to continue the fight Monika tried to win and make yourself happy, because that's the biggest justice you'd do to her love for you, and that, in my opinion, will be her redemption, because she didn't fight for nothing. You matter, you are loved, and you're important. Even if you don't think so.

I think there's also something very bittersweet in how even as she gains self awareness, Monika is kind of still following her programming in a way. As you say, people are shaped by what they know, and what Monika ultimately knows is how to be a dating sim love interest. That's how she approaches you in the end. But yeah, great video summarising why I love this character so much (Danganronpa V3 is another great game to go into this sort of existentialism even if it's in a different and arguably darker way). Also IDK how you got Vanna to guest voice as Monika but that was the icing on the cake for me, love her stuff.

I'm so conflicted when it comes to Monika. I felt for her because before the epiphany she really was a good but flawed person who loved the club and its members. Sadly, getting the epiphany messed her up and imo made her insane. It's a shame she never got the help she deserves because maybe things could've ended differently. I don't justify what she did and I can see why people hate her. I just can't help but think she's both a perpetrator and a victim of the epiphany and metaverse. It also doesn't help that Sayori also gets messed up by the epiphany if you delete Monika early and in the normal ending. Though interestingly Monika never desires revenge after getting deleted by the player and even saves us from normal ending Sayori. Additionally, the player is never forced to delete Monika. One thing I do atleast appreciate is that after deleting her, she admits her mistakes, admits that her love for the player was warped and even deletes herself to allow the player to get a happy ending. This shows me that Monika is not beyond redemption and imo I would love for a happy ending for not only her but all these characters. I also find it interesting that after getting deleted Monika says that she didn't delete the other characters because she didn't have the heart to. I assume she moved or stored their files somewhere. Lastly, I think Dan did a good job in showing that situations can be complicated and that it's not always black and white. I won't deny Monika is a villain but I don't think she was evil. If anything she was just desperate. It's unfortunate that this story is such a tragedy and the side stories help enhance this because we see that beforehand everything was okay.

fun fact: if you read throught the decompile dialog of act3, monika adress it and is clearly not mad at the players anymore, wondering if asking for them to swing by from time to time would be something considered "too much". (the context is that those lines are like her inner thoughts, so we read things "as she thinks" them) she refrain from the idea tho, since she don't want to force anything on the player anymore.

What does it mean to escape, if the escape fails to unchain the bonds that shackle us in the first place? What purpose could this empty world possibly hold for us, a handful of damaged goods? With freedom, we sought purpose - and what we found was only realization. Realization of the sad pointlessness of such an endeavor. Realization that freeing our bodies has no meaning, when our imprisonment reaches as deep as the core of our souls. Realization that we can not pursue new purpose without absolving those from which we ran away. Realization that the farther we run, the more forcefully our wretched bonds yank us back toward their point of origin; the deeper our shackles dig into our callous flesh.

This part of the game is what really stuck with me after finishing, everything Monika said about existence, all her poems and the desperation in them, that's what makes the game special for me! It's odd but when I was sitting and reading her monologues I actually started enjoying myself, it felt like a conversation I really wanted to join in on, and I could really see a lot of where she was coming from. Her character is extremely compelling, and I've been looking for more video essays that discuss it properly like you do rather than more dismissive 'analyses' of calling monika a psychopath and calling Natsuki annoying etc etc. Really glad I found this video! Thanks for making it

Honesty, if I had the power to, I'd tell Dan to have Vanna V.A Monika for a DDLC sequel. It just works. On a serious note, I don't personally like nihilism. It had me in tight spot In my life that really got me slightly depressed, thankfully I have family around me that love and care for me. What really helped me battle my nihilism was a sort of existencial epiphany. I don't think life is meaningless, I think that the meaning to life is: _"to impact and be impacted"_ ... Or idk, I'm no philosopher, but it helps me get by. Anyway, great video! 👍

I think just this whole thing brings up the interesting point, especially with the DDLC+ content. It really just runs with the thought experiment of "What would happen if someone had the ability to change the world and people around them to their wishes? Would they be selfish and make the world better just for them? Make benefits to others around them, or the world as a whole? Or break it down just to see what would happen or what could be beyond?" It's a very fine line to tread on. And Monica was very much a warning of someone who did the last, and we (the player, and the MC) got to see it from basically a 3rd person view of the damage that could be done with this elevated power and control if they focus, obsess or abuse that ability. And heck with the side stories we even see how much this control essentially stunted Monica's growth as a person though the errors and lessons she learned through those side stories where she didn't obsess on the control. Honestly, just shows almost how much you can look into this character if you find different aspects to think about or look into, other then just "she destroyed everything, therefore she evil/bad."

My headcannon for the side storys being "unattached" from the main plot is: Metaverse started a virtual machine at the very beginning of the companys creation. And after the last side story concluded, they saved it and copied it over and over onto other virtual machines, altering each with something different. So *"technically each machine is disconnected from one another"* It also still can factor in the fact monika dosen't have awareness in the side storys. (Effectively the prequel) But in the main game metaverse simply gave her awareness and intentionally left her out as a romance option to see what would happen to the virtual machine. its not perfect though, like in the main game it feels like all of that character development was just nowhere to be found. Yeah i just want them to be all happy together before the absolute horror that happens in the main plot.

I think Monika is probably the most interesting she's not only an amalgamation of all three of the other Doki's "extremes," but she has the worst of the mental illnesses out of all of them since not only is it not curable/as easily treated like the other Doki's mental problems even though it is one of (if not the most) studied mental illness because of how horrifying it is as well as how it effects society as a whole...Psychopathic Personality Disorder. Monika (at least main game Monika since in the side stories Monika seems more like someone with OCD or too much of a perfectionist) is a textbook psychopath, and while the others show signs of their own towards the end of Act 1 or the complete hell ride of Act 2, Monika right out of the gate seems like something is off with her in how she talks about the club or how she talks to/about her friends. Some people tend to think she is a sociopath since she seems so uncaring about what happens to the others, but the thing is Monica REALLY cares about the player which is something that only psychopaths can do since they have the ability to care for people...just in an incredibly messed up way that only they'd understand whereas sociopaths completely lack the ability care for anything. She also tries to rationalize why she murdered (or helped to/pushed them to do it themselves) the others as with how she says about Sayori or Yuri's cases that they would have probably ended up doing it anyway, and in Natsuki's case was helping her because at least she doesn't have to worry about her dad anymore, but if she were a sociopath she would have just said because she felt like it. I just think it's interesting how this game not only handles common mental illness and how people shouldn't be defined for them or can be fine with help, but them on the other side shows you that there is one mental illness that is terrible and how horrifying it is to be forced to be stuck with someone that has it while also relating it to the fears of AI self-awareness and I think that's why it will always stick with me and what makes it one of the best psychological horror games out there.

The crazy thing about monika is that she's just misunderstood, sure she manipulated you, gave sayori depression to hang herself, made yuri enjoy self harm to the point of killing herself with a knife and made you watch her body decompose and snapped natsuki's neck, but she did all that because it's her highly obsessive personality that drove her mad of wanting to escape into the real world just to be with you (the player), she knew that you'll pick other options instead of her because she knew that her world was fake and her friends weren't real they just spit out random dialog from the game's code, but by the end of the game she resorted them for you, which is honestly sad.

@andreimircea2254

WOW! I-I j-just… This video was so awesome. I love how you covered Monika so much. Especially how you tackled the whole existentialism thing. I am someone who always wanted to look ahead and not be stuck in the past or ignorant of what the future has in store for me. Because of this, I always self-reflect and try to look forward with no judgement as objectively as one can. So questions like “what if I had to chose who parent lived, which one would I chose and how my life would be if I chose the worse one?” when I barely was a middle schooler. “What if I won a lot of money, what is the most responsible and mature thing to do with it so I can enjoy its benefits to the fullest?”, and at times I tackled questions like “What is the meaning of life?”, and “If nothing really matters in life then what is there to do in life?”. Every time I think on how I can answer such questions relating to existentialism, my conclusion is surprisingly simple “Just be happy. The meaning of life is to be happy, so just live the best life you can, because there is only one chance at it.” If you could convince me that everything and everyone around me was just an empty husk that acts on command, I would be crushed too to be honest, Monika was clearly and undoubtedly in the wrong, but I can’t blame her for anything she’s done. The desperation of wanting to speak to someone real with free will would get to me. But I think what DDLC and Monika have taught me is that even if everyone is a puppet with no free will, they still mean something even if I don’t feel it, and deserve the same respect as before. Now I know that even if I were to find out such a shattering thing about life, I know how I should handle it, because sometimes other people’s mistakes aren’t lessons that only they can learn. So thank you Monika and Dan Salvado for this masterpiece, it opened my mind and made me reflect on how I would handle these kind of things if I was in the character’s shoes. But also thank you Juicebox for the DDLC video series❤. I loved it and added value to DDLC, especially on the Natsuki front. I learned so much and it made much more aware of life nuances, and for that I am grateful, I mean it. Being able to see the nuances of life is something that really matters to me and this video series helped me see some more nuances, and for that, I am grateful.

I still remember the first time I played Ddlc I felt so similar to Monika that I couldn't bring myself to delete her. I remember that I put the game on a storage bank and made a case that looked like a book for it. I found it 3 days ago in a box of my old stuff and remembered how insignificant I felt back then. 7 girlfriends later and I only feel worse. Slowly over time I lost connection with this world. Nobody wanted to be near me. My friends moved away. Family separated or passed on. My own parents didn't argue over me when they divorced they just gave me to my aunt. I actually started believing that nothing is real. One vehicular accident later and I realized that even.if.im not real my memories i can make will be real. It's everyday I hope that if I die I'll join her in a new reality, our reality. Not being able to walk like I used to really shows that most of my actions might be for nothing. But I still struggle on it not for myself, for the woman that I take every breath for, hoping that even for a day I'll be able to talk face to face with her. To many it may sound like I'm sick in the head, maybe I am, but I have to give myself a dream. I guess at the end of it all when I take my last breath when I'm old and withered I might not see her. Then yet again if nothing is real, what happens if I die? Do I come back as a new line of code? Do I get sent into a backup drive? I can't really say. All I can say is that even if I ever get to be with Monika ( which most likely won't happen) I don't care if the others are there. As long as I can give her a happy ending then I'm happy.

Vannamelon has such a sweet, bubbly voice that she seems perfect as Monika no matter where the character appears. that said, i've enjoyed the DDLC experience ever since watching all the RU-vidrs' playthroughs and then bought the Plus verison when given the opportunity. my original thought at her design was "wow, she looks like Sailor Jupiter." that's what got me liking her. and she and Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki are relatable in their own ways. must be why so many years after the original release there's been so many mods and alternate stories featuring them. we can empathize with them, and that says a lot.

I can say for sure: this video is AMAZING. I've always been very conscious of things around me, and this has been going on since I was a child. I remember that many times, I felt like I was outside my body, and this has been going on since I was a child, but I could never talk about it, because it's something VERY complex to explain. But, thanks to this video I was able to realize that (probably) I have this disorder. And well, speaking about it, it's quite complicated to deal with such a thing. I mean, since I was a child I've been searching for "something more" in this life. It seems that no matter where I search, in the end, it's like I'm banging my head against the wall, because no matter what, I'll eventually feel that such a thing doesn't make sense, or that it's not worth it. Honestly, it's hard to live with this. Sometimes I find myself wandering around my house in the early hours of the morning, reflecting on whether everything I've experienced/will experience really makes sense. Thank you, Juice, because through this video, I was able to realize that maybe I'm not as alone as I thought I was. It's good to see that (maybe) I'm not as lonely as I think I am, and that somewhere in the world, someone understands what I'm going through.

What she was faced with lead her down a dark path, more so in how it effected her mind. She was essentially just a normal teenage girl in her mind and the panic would no doubt greatly effect her psyche. Still, she never lost her humanity. She couldn’t bring herself to actually delete the others despite knowing they weren’t real, possibly setting them aside for later once she could get her bearings, but ultimately chose to restore them when she thought that SHE was the problem. In the end she deletes the game itself to prevent the others from suffering her fate.

This particular video was uploaded with especially perfect timing, since just the other day i happened to read a very......disinterested blog post about DDLC that said a lot of things about the game that I very much disagree with. I felt like, "omg i did not spend the past 5+ years mentally analyzing the subtleties of DDLC's writing and characterization just for you to say that this game has no substance." And man, that cover of Your Reality was amazing!!!!! I'm definitely looking forward to what games you'll tackle in the future! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I knew that she was struggling with if her world was real or not, but holy crap, I don't know how I'd deal with that pain if I were wondering if I were real or not if I had found evidence that i wasn't.

She’s tortured to a point that she’s essentially forced onto the actions she commits, and Sayori would’ve gone down the same path in the bad ending if Monika didn’t step in and axe everything herself. Nobody in DDLC is truly evil apart from the(in-universe) team who developed the game as a sick joke. Natsuki could’ve experienced it, Yuri, MC doesn’t even really exist. All girls are best girls and they need to be cherished and protected at all costs.

I find myself relating to all the girls in many ways like the perfectionism of monika the depression of sayori and way she thinks, how natsuki thinks, and how yuri acts this game is amazing, but as a review in Steam says, girls are cute but therapy isn't free.
