9:57 your reaction when you first hear Ivan's voice is so meeee. lol. When I first came into Alien Stage at the peak of chaos that was Round 6, the first time Ivan opened his mouth on Round 3 I was just fell silent and GOOSEBUMPS! Even now whenever I listen to Black Sorrow I'm still getting goosebump from the opening. Ivan and Park Byonghoon (his VA) is such a treasure. Still sad that he only contributed 3 songs--which all become my top listen in Spotify this year.
Basically why Mizi lost her composure is because of Luka mimicking and mocking her about her lover Sua (14:28) he's impersonating her. Specially with the line (4:56) where Mizi said her god is Sua, and Luka said here : "Make me your God, I can give you everything" (15:11) HE EVEN SMILED AFTER MIZI SMACK HIM BECAUSE HIS STRATEGY WORKED as violence is not allowed on stage which guaranteed him a win (16:02) My boy Ivan knew about that rule which is why his points were deducted purposely when he did that to Till as he can't bear to see Till go and rather be the one who does. Luka did this to Till too about Ivan fingertips on his neck it did work but lost it right away as Till saw Mizi (his one sided crush) giving him another energy to keep going and so Luka was disappointed by that (33:46) and (33:50). I HATE AND LOVE LUKA 👹👹
i lowkey always think that mizi also kind of was involved in till's downfall (ofc not on purpose). just thought that because of him seeing mizi in the crowd made him reach out, stop singing in the meantime. but thats just my view (which makes it more painful for mizi because i love inflicting pain on myself LMAO)
@@Omnisci33nt he actually started to sing better after seeing her, I'm pretty sure. Somebody posted the scoring screen and Luka and Till were pretty close, showing that maybe if Mizi, got to stage on time, Till would've had a better chance to survive.
mizi actually had no idea one of them would die as sua kept it a secret- and she thought they were going to draw, which is why they sang at the same time, sua lost on purpose however
the mizisua video was mizi and sua’s first meeting !!! their alien guardians were sending them off to anakt garden :) mizi’s alien guardian/owner (her name is shine) loved her and was very caring to her and thats why mizi had all the toys and things in her box. mizi loved shine and even called her mom !! shine’s planet where she and mizi lived was a deep sea planet which ruined mizi’s eyesight which was why she wore glasses lol sua’s guardian was named nigeh. she enjoys fame and attention. she had lots of pet humans and treated them like dolls. they were like nigeh’s toys that she dressed up in pretty clothes. nigeh didn’t care too much about their feelings and saw them more as trophies. sua was favored by her guardian because she’s so obedient, though still, wasn’t really seen as a person with emotions. in the beginning of the mizisua video, you can see that while mizi and shine are interacting, sua is just sitting in the box while nigeh walks away, showing that nigeh doesnt care too much for sua. when nigeh found out sua lost in round 1, she was disappointed, but more so pleased because sua was becoming popular from her death. however this was short lived as nigeh quickly moved on to try to find other things to gain attention and popularity.
6:15 THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEND TO ME 😭😭😭 I've been a long time VIVINOS fan so when Round 1 dropped I was flabbergasted, sad, amazed by animation but not surprised because VIVINOS has been doing this kind of tragic romance and psychological horror videos for a long time. The funny thing is, it took me until she dropped round 2 to realize that it was a series and I've been an alien stage fan since then!! It makes me so happy to see that VIVINOS, QMENG and everyone involved are getting the recognition they deserve for their hard work!!!!
Fun-yet-sad fact: at the end,the xylophone that was heard at the end of blink gone,was a gift from Ivan to Till when they were little. so even at his last moments,Till thought atleast a bit about Ivan.
Not a fact, though a theory. Since it wasn’t confirmed, though there is a big chance it was Ivan who gifted him the xylophone. (still not a fact though because it wasn’t clarified anywhere by vivinos 😭)
8:11 actually he's not scared or not fighting, but he doesn't know the song!😭 Till suddenly changed the music to the one he wrote himself, you can hear the glitch sound from the beginning. And idk why i've never seen anyone explain this in any reaction video i've seen lol but yeah, he also wrote the song for mizi and even named this "unknown" or "miji (미지)" in korean. But i still believe he would still win even if he's not changing the music.
THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH AND KINDA FUNNY. ''Can't outsing me if you don't know the words''. His poor opponent probably had his life flash before his eyes as soon as the music switched
some facts. in an official post, Ivan regarding his death as the quote "Thank you for being a victim of my shallow emotions." in regards to his love for Till. Where prior he had mocked Sua for her sacrafice. Till would never look to Ivan, and would only look to Mizi. Where Ivan could only get Till's attention with harsh actions, it's Mizi's gentleness that Till was drawn to, from a long life of heavy physical abuse. Ivan, struggling with emotions and a "favorite" couldn't understand. The boy dead in All in is Hyun Woo, Hyuna's brother, who Luka seemingly pushed down in a fight, which led to the boy cracking his head open on a rock. Luka seemed to have had feelings for Hyina, and made them clear in a less than wanted way. Till died the same day as Ivan, still having Ivan's blood on his pants. The battled was doomed from the start, Till's color green and Luka's purple. The entire room bathed in purple glowsticks. There's an implication Till may have been SA'd in round 6, the alien he pnched later petting his hair now without pants on Sua and Mizi technically broke convention, and tried to do a duet to get matching points so they both could live. Sua knew this would not work, and knew she would be the one to die for more lore this should work docs.google.com/document/d/1PYwknYstNdlNYdLbnT89DhwC_vkXyVMDeqNB6o_RX2g/edit?tab=t.0

i watched alien stage the day after the premiere of round 7 and my heart was SHATERED. I did not know anything of the show and i just lost it like aaaaaaarhghghjghhjdgbhjb so sad so sad 😭 And then i vented to my friend that had watched it all and pushed me to see it too and we looked at so many theories and analysis. And now rewatching everything, i see so much clues and littles details that i did not see the first ime and i realised if people want to really enjoy it to the fullest, they should also look up analysis, cause goddayum it's good. For exemple, Sua (black haired girl of round 1) loved Mizi cause she was so cheerful and happy and nice, but mizi was this way because she was always sheltered from the horror of aliens, had a nice owner that cared (gave her toys when enrolled in the program, see Mizi-sua video). While Ivan loved Till for the opposite, cause Till never gave up and continued to feel emotion, be kind and protect life (it is showed when he fight with ivan cause he stepped on a flower crown, PS :VIVINO shared on twitter i think panels where they encourage a flower to grow and it's so cuteeeee) despite having being experimented on and suffering. Also, i think looking up some articles can help understand some scene that can prehaps be confusing (Ivan and Till running under shooting stars in round 4 black sorrows) and even undestand the dynamic of some friendships/doomed gayships. i could talk about so much things for every single panels of it, so if you want to know more just ask me in the reply section, i'd be more than happy to share facts about this new obsessio of mine. Also i loved the video cause you had the exact same reaction as me and you had the words to describe how it felt like and omg, Alien stage is soooooo wonderfull, so glad you watched it, so so happy more and more people are joining the fandom, mostly constituted of depressed individual living in delusion of round 6 cause what da heck was that and also round 7 cause nooooo, our poor angel Till 😭😭😭 and i have such mixed feelings about luka, like he is SO ATTRACTIVe and i know why he act like a fucking manipulator but come on, i hate the twink. (there is some meme saying this twink should be gone, nd now whenever i sing link gone outloud near my friend i say twink gone just to annoy them)
I'm still watching so sorry if you figure this out later, but in response to "they're still kids" they're all in their 20s to 30s depending on the character.
the next video’s gonna be all about luka and hyuna!! 😁 there are theories saying that luka killed hyuna’s twin brother 😭 also luka’s super possessive over hyuna, he thinks of her as if she belongs to him 😭😭 In a recent official update, it was revealed that he's been thinking about her a lot but because of the way he grew up, he has no idea what 'healthy love' is. he’s even been reading romance books to try and figure it out 😖 this next video is gonna be insane, I can’t wait!!!
there's also covers with different characters singing the other rounds, plus comics or official art posted on the official alien stage twitter (or youtube) account every friday ^^
That opening song reminds me of the song from the first scene of Undead Unluck ❤ The OST isn’t out so I have no idea what the name of that song is but both are freaking beautiful! I’m so happy to see you making content again, thanks for this banger video!
The RUclips community tab and alien stage twitter account has lots of little comics and bits of lore! They’re mostly in Korean, but people have posted eng translations for most of the ones in the community tab in the comments :)
Btw!! Luka was the winner of round four, which is why he went against Mizi!! I’ve heard multiple explanations/theories for why it wasn’t shown so I’m not gonna try to explain it in case I’m wrong but yeah!! :33
Isn't it because in Asian countries the number 4 is considered unlucky? I've seen this in japanese anime, k-dramas, smth abt - it sounds like the Chinese word for death. if you know interesting theories, can you tell, please?
as far as i'm aware, it's because luka's oponent either died too quickly or ended their own life out of fear of competing with luka. i'm pretty sure the corpse shown at the beginning or round 5 is the opponent
Luka's whole thing is that he manipulates his opponents by reminding them of their past trauma, we wouldn't really care for a minor character's backstory that is only connected to Luka and no other character, that is why they skipped the round. I think the in-universe reason was that the person refused to sing and was killed.
I've heard a whole bunch of things and something I looked up wasn't very clear either. I guess leaving it open to interpretation makes it more mysterious and engaging. And who knows, maybe there will be some flashbacks to it later!
Ngl, that's a solid theory. But it's clear the round wasn't skipped. It's just that the opponent died too quickly(?) so the round wasn't worth a whole video AFAIK.
I’m not sure if anyone told you, and I didn’t see you acknowledge it in the video (if you did I’m sorry 😭), but Luka is called the “Winner of ALNST 49” which means Luka has been on ALNST before and that girl you see in Top 3 is likely the girl he had to beat in the final round (idk if that’s confirmed that’s my take away). So Luka is well versed in ALNST and is very well supported by the Aliens, he also uses manipulation against his opponents, as you can see when he manipulates Mizi into seeing Sua! He did the same thing to Till, and by the time Till saw Mizi, it was too late and the votes were already tallied, though you can see Luka get annoyed then shrug it off. Another thing is that one frame in blink gone after Luka manipulates Till you can see pure joy on his face, suggesting that he enjoys manipulating others. Luka has been previously confirmed to be the biggest eater at Anakt Garden but can’t due to his diet, so it is believed that he might be starved by his Alien… Also fun fact Ivan had to train on how to smile for photos, except he really doesn’t know when to actually smile, so he appears to smile when he’s in pain or hurt. (If I got anything wrong correct me!!) Love the video!! Keep it up!! ❤
OH WOW that adds a whole new layer to Luka's personality!! Thank you for sharing, I love that the layers keep layering :O And poor Ivan, baby needed a hug so bad :( 🫂
Ahh I know the lore is so deep!! You can get a lot of information from the little comics they post (though I can’t read Korean so I rely on the comments a lot lol)
I know this is SO late, but in Blink Gone, At the start, Tills earpiece is colored red, and its shown multiple times being red. Till is shown touching his earpiece for a second at the start, but Lukas earpiece was green. Luka most likely messed with the earpiece. Till is also shown grabbing at his chest and seen yelling, Because he realized that his microphone wasnt on. Luka was also seen laughing. But when Till saw Mizi, his earpiece was finally green. Thats what Hyuna was downloading, a file to turn on Tills earpiece, but it was too late. Great video by the way! ❤
13:03 Actually there is not a round 4 because in the history also there is not round 4. The opponent of Luka (the blond guy) in round 4 surrender because he already won 1 ALIEN STAGE before and is the fans (aliens) favorite so she knew that she didnt had a chance :( Besides, her hand was showed at the start of ruler of my heart (Luka kissed her hand if show of respect because even if he is manipulative, he knows that everyone in there just want to survive and so does he, thats why he has to manipulate them to win sometimes even if he is talented enough)
so sooooo... there is a specific scene that a lot of people seem to miss or not get, and i definitely understand it because i also took a few rewatches.. In R6 when till was forced to karaoke but attacked an alien instead because they were mocking mizi's disappearance. The really fucked up part in that scene is that Till was SA'ed by the same alien as some kind of "you hurt me so im gonna do this to you as an apology from you". thats why you see that alien with his shirt all the way unbuttoned, rubbing tills head in the aftermath like some animal. Till was in his darkest moments back then, keeping himself still together by imagining his love coming to save him from this hell he's being put through. instead, its ivan who comes and disables the collar on tills mouth. Ivan has that kind of special privilege because he's is favoured by the aliens. (there is also a theory that ivan also gets used in that way till did... but i wouldnt say it as a fact though). Also the reason ivan stared at till before going in to kiss him was because he saw till stopped singing in that moment. In that moment, he saw the person that he loved stop fighting. He loved till for how strong and resiliant he was, always fighting against the aliens, but this time he wanted to end it. thats partially the reason why ivan kissed and choked (acting) till, to lower his own score. I remember in a small comic that vivinos made, Ivan was making fun of sua for thinking about "sacrificing herself" for mizi. Saying its "selfish" and that it would only "hurt her more". at the end of the panels, its ivan thinking in his last moments about how much of a hypocrite he'd been. The flashback scenes in All In, younger hyuna with two other guys. the other of course being Luka while the other one that looks similar to hyuna is her brother. I dont think the scene really got explained but some people say Luka killed hyunas brother, or hyuna killed her brother on accident because her brother was lashing out at luka for trying to kiss his sister with no consent (in the split frame you can see her shocked face while on the ground with luka next to her leaning in for a kiss). OR it could be an accident on both sides but luka just enjoyed it, but i do think the first reason i wrote is the one that makes the most sense with 2. right behind. ANYWAYSSSSS thats the end with my rant teehee. PLEASE REACT TO THE COVERSSSS the ivantill clematis cover is such a fun listen! (little edit here oops forgot to mention one thing!) I DID forgot to mention that sua DID sacrifice herself. Mizi and sua (mostly mizi) planned to get the same amount of points so they'd both win (how innocent..). But Sua already had made up her mind to be slightly worse just so mizi could win. Another few (this time Fun and wholesome) facts: 1. Till is the youngest in the group! (mizi, sua, ivan and till). 2. they were kind of already close because they group up in the same garden (anakt garden where aliens put their pet humans for training for the rest of their lives kind of.) 3. Luka is 30 years old... he should leak his skincare i'd say
oHMYGOD thank you for telling me all that! I swear, everything I learn about Alien Stage makes it even sadder and it's still all the tip of the iceberg. 😭
@@Ezzydesu yeah is half way or something, maybe we will get mimimum 2,3 more videos if not more , not sure, someone said is half way but how accurate that info is idk
On Vivimos' RUclips account, images of the universe and characters are posted in the community, and sometimes in the comments there are people who want to translate it into English.
31:37 um yeah, if you watched round 6 until the end you can see the two there and that hyuna is injured, btw the way mizi is looking at the screen at 31:45 is her realising ivan is dead, bc there is no way they would know how the round ended (in many of the comics arts is shown that ivan and her are having very close friendship or at least for her it felt that way, being comfortable around him. there was a tweet with affection stats about all characters and ivans was bigger than till's, ofc sua had the 100% ) like i said under someone's else comment, there is A LOT people would never know if they dont check all official content and check fans literaly disecting each video and comics, there is alot that can be missed , that is if you want to get deeper into the hole ofc, that is only my suggestion :D
btw sua and ivan are the most complicated, and im too tired to try and explain their behaviors so i hope you will do your own research if you want to get to know them better
Ok so about round 5! Luka isnt really trying like at all..he knew he was gonna win. He was smiling the entire time. also omg CAPTIONS PLEASE, YOU GOT LIKE A FEW THINGS WRONG AND I WAS FREAKING OUT AAAAA😭😭😭 i've also never seen anyone this emotional over it but thats fine, interesting reaction! also another little reminder- none of the ships are healthy. Mizisua was codependent, ivantill is...ivantill, and luka did some,,,things to hyuna so uh yeah OK I KEEP ON EDITING THIS BUT. NO THE IVANTILL KISS WAS NOT SWEET AT ALL. IVAN WAS SACRIFICING HIMSELF BUT THAT KISS WAS NOT CONSENSUAL AND IT WAS MORE OF JUST A TANTRUM ON IVAN'S SIDE TILL DID NOT WANT THAT AT ALL till actually did have feelings for ivan, but they were just confusing for him so he never understood them but ARGHHH
R6 destroyed me. I remember a few weeks where I only thought about it, listening on repeat... I entered the rabbit hole afterwards (YT, X, Facebook groups, merchandising...) Ivan is my fav, the one who deserves more love. And Till had the WORST life ever. It's even sadder when you know more about them
The comments have been telling me some ''fun facts'' and it's still the tip of the iceberg.. Omygod all of this is just soulcrushingly depressing, whose mind spawned this from and are they okay 😭😭😭
My friend was watching round 5 and saw this thumbnail , not trying to say its ur fault but i rlly wish u didnt put a spoiler for the thumbnail 😭 bc i genuinely wanted to show them this series.
@@HighSempre I get that it might seem like a small thing, but spoilers in thumbnails can really ruin the experience for new viewers. I know it's not entirely in the uploader's control, but I just wanted to share my feelings about it since I was excited to show this to a friend. ( a online friend that lives across countries from me and I don't call them that much.)
AFTER MUCH REQUEST, here is my reaction to all official ALIEN STAGE covers!
ruclips.net/video/hxu9JC2mhNM/видео.html
The fact that they started round 7 nearly immediately after round 6 so Ivan and Till died on the same day is just.....
If you pay attention you will notice that both the rounds were posted on a Friday
That's so messed up omygod, they were just stacking trauma over there?!

It's amazing how music (and art in general) can create such a universal reaction to different people at different times from different places.
Basically why Mizi lost her composure is because of Luka mimicking and mocking her about her lover Sua (14:28) he's impersonating her.
Specially with the line (4:56) where Mizi said her god is Sua, and Luka said here : "Make me your God, I can give you everything" (15:11)
HE EVEN SMILED AFTER MIZI SMACK HIM BECAUSE HIS STRATEGY WORKED as violence is not allowed on stage which guaranteed him a win (16:02)
My boy Ivan knew about that rule which is why his points were deducted purposely when he did that to Till as he can't bear to see Till go and rather be the one who does.
Luka did this to Till too about Ivan fingertips on his neck it did work but lost it right away as Till saw Mizi (his one sided crush) giving him another energy to keep going and so Luka was disappointed by that (33:46) and (33:50). I HATE AND LOVE LUKA 👹👹

100% agree! Whether you react to them or watch them on your own, the covers are a must watch :)
till is “surprisingly gentle” because he’d finally lost his spirit after his assault and mizi going missing. i think that’s part of why ivan snaps, because ivan admits in a supplementary comic he hadn’t actually planned to self sabotage how he did. i think he couldn’t bear seeing him so despondent and only knows how to get bad reactions out of till.
tills vigor returns somewhat i believe to carry ivan’s name, then his spirit is restored when he sees mizi.
so… at least till died feeling loved. and he isn’t suffering anymore.
anyhow welcome to the fandom!!
also, the patreon is definitely worth its price!! can’t recommend enough
i watched alien stage the day after the premiere of round 7 and my heart was SHATERED. I did not know anything of the show and i just lost it like aaaaaaarhghghjghhjdgbhjb so sad so sad 😭
And then i vented to my friend that had watched it all and pushed me to see it too and we looked at so many theories and analysis. And now rewatching everything, i see so much clues and littles details that i did not see the first ime and i realised if people want to really enjoy it to the fullest, they should also look up analysis, cause goddayum it's good.
For exemple, Sua (black haired girl of round 1) loved Mizi cause she was so cheerful and happy and nice, but mizi was this way because she was always sheltered from the horror of aliens, had a nice owner that cared (gave her toys when enrolled in the program, see Mizi-sua video). While Ivan loved Till for the opposite, cause Till never gave up and continued to feel emotion, be kind and protect life (it is showed when he fight with ivan cause he stepped on a flower crown, PS :VIVINO shared on twitter i think panels where they encourage a flower to grow and it's so cuteeeee) despite having being experimented on and suffering.
Also, i think looking up some articles can help understand some scene that can prehaps be confusing (Ivan and Till running under shooting stars in round 4 black sorrows) and even undestand the dynamic of some friendships/doomed gayships.
i could talk about so much things for every single panels of it, so if you want to know more just ask me in the reply section, i'd be more than happy to share facts about this new obsessio of mine.
Also i loved the video cause you had the exact same reaction as me and you had the words to describe how it felt like and omg, Alien stage is soooooo wonderfull, so glad you watched it, so so happy more and more people are joining the fandom, mostly constituted of depressed individual living in delusion of round 6 cause what da heck was that and also round 7 cause nooooo, our poor angel Till 😭😭😭 and i have such mixed feelings about luka, like he is SO ATTRACTIVe and i know why he act like a fucking manipulator but come on, i hate the twink. (there is some meme saying this twink should be gone, nd now whenever i sing link gone outloud near my friend i say twink gone just to annoy them)
THE LAYERS ARE LAYERING WITH ALIEN STAGE HOLYSHIT???? I need to go watch a 10 hour video essay by some guy with 2k subs 😫 😭
i don’t know that there’s many video essays for this series!!!
I'm still watching so sorry if you figure this out later, but in response to "they're still kids" they're all in their 20s to 30s depending on the character.
I didn't know, but I'm 24 myself and I still feel like a kid in ways so I wasn't completely wrong 😭
@@Ezzydesu All of them are around 20-24, while Hyuna is 27 and Luka is 30
@@EzzydesuTill is the youngest and Luka the oldest
the next video’s gonna be all about luka and hyuna!! 😁 there are theories saying that luka killed hyuna’s twin brother 😭 also luka’s super possessive over hyuna, he thinks of her as if she belongs to him 😭😭 In a recent official update, it was revealed that he's been thinking about her a lot but because of the way he grew up, he has no idea what 'healthy love' is. he’s even been reading romance books to try and figure it out 😖 this next video is gonna be insane, I can’t wait!!!
15:02 AGTHA ALL ALONG MENTIONED IN ALIEN STAGE- YASSS
IM JUST A NERD THROUGH AND THROUGH
THERE’S ENGLISH CAPTIONS AVAILABLE 😭😭😭😭
OH UOU TURN THEM ON IN THE VIDEO NEVERMIND
YES JUST PRESS THE CC BUTTON AND THERE THEY ARE, ITS NOT ON THE VIDEO BC I EDITED IT OUT BUT I FELT SO DUMB WHEN I REALISED LMAOOO
26:15 yeah, till doesn't really care about ivan like THAT the doomed yaoi is fandom hopium 😭
there's also covers with different characters singing the other rounds, plus comics or official art posted on the official alien stage twitter (or youtube) account every friday ^^
Thank you for letting me know! Gonna make that video when I can :D
ive never seen someone cry halfway through My Clematis.
Happy to be the first o7
That opening song reminds me of the song from the first scene of Undead Unluck ❤ The OST isn’t out so I have no idea what the name of that song is but both are freaking beautiful! I’m so happy to see you making content again, thanks for this banger video!
WAIT YOU ARE RIGHT! It sounded familiar and that might be it indeed!!!
And I'm happy to get back into it too! I'm already planning for 2025 :D
girl your guesses have me STRESSED 😂
MY BAD LMAO
@@Ezzydesu you’re all good!

In Vivinos’s RUclips community posts and X page, there‘s art, comics, updates, etc about Alien Stage. Also on Vivinos patreon.
The RUclips community tab and alien stage twitter account has lots of little comics and bits of lore! They’re mostly in Korean, but people have posted eng translations for most of the ones in the community tab in the comments :)
Thank you for letting me know, esp about the translations!!! :D
Btw!! Luka was the winner of round four, which is why he went against Mizi!! I’ve heard multiple explanations/theories for why it wasn’t shown so I’m not gonna try to explain it in case I’m wrong but yeah!! :33
Isn't it because in Asian countries the number 4 is considered unlucky? I've seen this in japanese anime, k-dramas, smth abt - it sounds like the Chinese word for death. if you know interesting theories, can you tell, please?
as far as i'm aware, it's because luka's oponent either died too quickly or ended their own life out of fear of competing with luka. i'm pretty sure the corpse shown at the beginning or round 5 is the opponent
Luka's whole thing is that he manipulates his opponents by reminding them of their past trauma, we wouldn't really care for a minor character's backstory that is only connected to Luka and no other character, that is why they skipped the round. I think the in-universe reason was that the person refused to sing and was killed.
I've heard a whole bunch of things and something I looked up wasn't very clear either. I guess leaving it open to interpretation makes it more mysterious and engaging. And who knows, maybe there will be some flashbacks to it later!
Ngl, that's a solid theory. But it's clear the round wasn't skipped. It's just that the opponent died too quickly(?) so the round wasn't worth a whole video AFAIK.
I’m not sure if anyone told you, and I didn’t see you acknowledge it in the video (if you did I’m sorry 😭), but Luka is called the “Winner of ALNST 49” which means Luka has been on ALNST before and that girl you see in Top 3 is likely the girl he had to beat in the final round (idk if that’s confirmed that’s my take away). So Luka is well versed in ALNST and is very well supported by the Aliens, he also uses manipulation against his opponents, as you can see when he manipulates Mizi into seeing Sua! He did the same thing to Till, and by the time Till saw Mizi, it was too late and the votes were already tallied, though you can see Luka get annoyed then shrug it off. Another thing is that one frame in blink gone after Luka manipulates Till you can see pure joy on his face, suggesting that he enjoys manipulating others. Luka has been previously confirmed to be the biggest eater at Anakt Garden but can’t due to his diet, so it is believed that he might be starved by his Alien…
Also fun fact Ivan had to train on how to smile for photos, except he really doesn’t know when to actually smile, so he appears to smile when he’s in pain or hurt. (If I got anything wrong correct me!!) Love the video!! Keep it up!! ❤
OH WOW that adds a whole new layer to Luka's personality!! Thank you for sharing, I love that the layers keep layering :O
And poor Ivan, baby needed a hug so bad :( 🫂
Ahh I know the lore is so deep!! You can get a lot of information from the little comics they post (though I can’t read Korean so I rely on the comments a lot lol)
I know this is SO late, but in Blink Gone, At the start, Tills earpiece is colored red, and its shown multiple times being red. Till is shown touching his earpiece for a second at the start, but Lukas earpiece was green. Luka most likely messed with the earpiece. Till is also shown grabbing at his chest and seen yelling, Because he realized that his microphone wasnt on. Luka was also seen laughing. But when Till saw Mizi, his earpiece was finally green. Thats what Hyuna was downloading, a file to turn on Tills earpiece, but it was too late. Great video by the way! ❤
That's SUCH a small detail I wouldn't have caught anytime soon 😭 The layers are layering!
And thank you btw 🙌✨️💜
13:03 Actually there is not a round 4 because in the history also there is not round 4. The opponent of Luka (the blond guy) in round 4 surrender because he already won 1 ALIEN STAGE before and is the fans (aliens) favorite so she knew that she didnt had a chance :(
Besides, her hand was showed at the start of ruler of my heart (Luka kissed her hand if show of respect because even if he is manipulative, he knows that everyone in there just want to survive and so does he, thats why he has to manipulate them to win sometimes even if he is talented enough)
Instantly becoming ur fan after seing the mysta plushie lmao
Hehe, you should look at the topleft right above my microphone arm... You'll like the plushie second from the left too ;)
so sooooo... there is a specific scene that a lot of people seem to miss or not get, and i definitely understand it because i also took a few rewatches.. In R6 when till was forced to karaoke but attacked an alien instead because they were mocking mizi's disappearance. The really fucked up part in that scene is that Till was SA'ed by the same alien as some kind of "you hurt me so im gonna do this to you as an apology from you". thats why you see that alien with his shirt all the way unbuttoned, rubbing tills head in the aftermath like some animal. Till was in his darkest moments back then, keeping himself still together by imagining his love coming to save him from this hell he's being put through. instead, its ivan who comes and disables the collar on tills mouth. Ivan has that kind of special privilege because he's is favoured by the aliens. (there is also a theory that ivan also gets used in that way till did... but i wouldnt say it as a fact though).
Also the reason ivan stared at till before going in to kiss him was because he saw till stopped singing in that moment. In that moment, he saw the person that he loved stop fighting. He loved till for how strong and resiliant he was, always fighting against the aliens, but this time he wanted to end it. thats partially the reason why ivan kissed and choked (acting) till, to lower his own score.
I remember in a small comic that vivinos made, Ivan was making fun of sua for thinking about "sacrificing herself" for mizi. Saying its "selfish" and that it would only "hurt her more". at the end of the panels, its ivan thinking in his last moments about how much of a hypocrite he'd been.
The flashback scenes in All In, younger hyuna with two other guys. the other of course being Luka while the other one that looks similar to hyuna is her brother. I dont think the scene really got explained but some people say Luka killed hyunas brother, or hyuna killed her brother on accident because her brother was lashing out at luka for trying to kiss his sister with no consent (in the split frame you can see her shocked face while on the ground with luka next to her leaning in for a kiss). OR it could be an accident on both sides but luka just enjoyed it, but i do think the first reason i wrote is the one that makes the most sense with 2. right behind.
ANYWAYSSSSS thats the end with my rant teehee. PLEASE REACT TO THE COVERSSSS the ivantill clematis cover is such a fun listen!
(little edit here oops forgot to mention one thing!)
I DID forgot to mention that sua DID sacrifice herself. Mizi and sua (mostly mizi) planned to get the same amount of points so they'd both win (how innocent..). But Sua already had made up her mind to be slightly worse just so mizi could win.
Another few (this time Fun and wholesome) facts: 1. Till is the youngest in the group! (mizi, sua, ivan and till).
2. they were kind of already close because they group up in the same garden (anakt garden where aliens put their pet humans for training for the rest of their lives kind of.)
3. Luka is 30 years old... he should leak his skincare i'd say
oHMYGOD thank you for telling me all that! I swear, everything I learn about Alien Stage makes it even sadder and it's still all the tip of the iceberg. 😭
@Ezzydesu THERE IS SOOO MUCH MORE BUT I DIDNT WANT TO KEEP ANYONE HERE FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES 😭
Idk if you’re informed but there are more episodes of alien stage that will come after the final! I think
(Btw I’m half way through the reaction and I love it!!)
THERE WILL BE MORE??? HELL YEAH
(I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!)
@@Ezzydesu yeah is half way or something, maybe we will get mimimum 2,3 more videos if not more , not sure, someone said is half way but how accurate that info is idk
Yeah, while we don’t know how much is left. VIVINOS did confirm in her Patreon that there was more to come and that it’s not done yet 😭
On Vivimos' RUclips account, images of the universe and characters are posted in the community, and sometimes in the comments there are people who want to translate it into English.
Thank you so much! I'll be checking those out soon!! :D
Yipee another alien stage reaction XD
Glad to be of service! Hope you enjoyed :D
31:37 um yeah, if you watched round 6 until the end you can see the two there and that hyuna is injured, btw the way mizi is looking at the screen at 31:45 is her realising ivan is dead, bc there is no way they would know how the round ended (in many of the comics arts is shown that ivan and her are having very close friendship or at least for her it felt that way, being comfortable around him. there was a tweet with affection stats about all characters and ivans was bigger than till's, ofc sua had the 100% ) like i said under someone's else comment, there is A LOT people would never know if they dont check all official content and check fans literaly disecting each video and comics, there is alot that can be missed , that is if you want to get deeper into the hole ofc, that is only my suggestion :D
btw sua and ivan are the most complicated, and im too tired to try and explain their behaviors so i hope you will do your own research if you want to get to know them better
not you missing the subtitles aksgsksgsjdh hope u went back later to understand it better
Ok so about round 5! Luka isnt really trying like at all..he knew he was gonna win. He was smiling the entire time. also omg CAPTIONS PLEASE, YOU GOT LIKE A FEW THINGS WRONG AND I WAS FREAKING OUT AAAAA😭😭😭 i've also never seen anyone this emotional over it but thats fine, interesting reaction!
also another little reminder- none of the ships are healthy. Mizisua was codependent, ivantill is...ivantill, and luka did some,,,things to hyuna so uh yeah
OK I KEEP ON EDITING THIS BUT. NO THE IVANTILL KISS WAS NOT SWEET AT ALL. IVAN WAS SACRIFICING HIMSELF BUT THAT KISS WAS NOT CONSENSUAL AND IT WAS MORE OF JUST A TANTRUM ON IVAN'S SIDE TILL DID NOT WANT THAT AT ALL
till actually did have feelings for ivan, but they were just confusing for him so he never understood them but ARGHHH
R6 destroyed me. I remember a few weeks where I only thought about it, listening on repeat... I entered the rabbit hole afterwards (YT, X, Facebook groups, merchandising...) Ivan is my fav, the one who deserves more love. And Till had the WORST life ever.
It's even sadder when you know more about them
The comments have been telling me some ''fun facts'' and it's still the tip of the iceberg.. Omygod all of this is just soulcrushingly depressing, whose mind spawned this from and are they okay 😭😭😭
Even though at the end of the day he sacrificed himself, I don't like the non consensual kiss
In twitter the detail story explain for vivinos
Gonna check that out, thank you!!
AINT NO FRICKIN WAY YOU DIDNT TURN ON THE SUBTITLE WHAAT???😭😭
I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A THING UNTIL THEY STARTED YAPPING SOME WORLDBUILDING AND THERE WERENT BURNT IN SUBTITLES IM JUST A DUMBASS OKAY 😭😭😭😭
10:55 I CACKLED CAUSE I THINK THAT EVERY TIME
ivan also didnt sing a few lines and arrived late to make till have more points😭 (IM GOING INSANE)
My friend made me learn black sorrow on the drums 😢
That's lowkey evil omygod
Idk if someone said this already but i think we weren't shown round 4 bc lukas opponent forfeited
Unknown is love
It really is
ALIEN STAGE RAUGHHH
WHAOOOAAAAAOOAOA
Im confused why does she already know what happens
Mysta at the back 🦊
Supporting my oshi, even in death!
My friend was watching round 5 and saw this thumbnail , not trying to say its ur fault but i rlly wish u didnt put a spoiler for the thumbnail 😭 bc i genuinely wanted to show them this series.
bro then show them? what a weird comment geez
@@HighSempre I get that it might seem like a small thing, but spoilers in thumbnails can really ruin the experience for new viewers. I know it's not entirely in the uploader's control, but I just wanted to share my feelings about it since I was excited to show this to a friend. ( a online friend that lives across countries from me and I don't call them that much.)
fun fact! Hyuna vs Luka is next😈
The depression corner is growing…
Happy to have joined, and happy to contribute lmao
That was the end of arc 1 of alien stage ❤ please react when the other chapters come out!
THIS WAS JUST THE FIRST ARC??? Oh hell yeah! I'll definitely be reacting when new things come out, can't wait :D
WAIT REALLY?!?!? IM SO EXCITED
