spoiler warningggg for casual scrollers: The Mai's gloves thing is especially wild to me, considering what a key horrifying plot point it ended up being!
Surprisingly, a couple of Gin mysteries gets explained. Unfortunately none of them about him going to Floor 1 *yet* . I imagine it’ll be revealed in the FINAL final chapter.
@@Wren_C Just everyone looking on in pure shock as Kai is very clearly not bleeding despite looking to be in severe pain, and Miley being completely in the know in terms of what's going on. That's both hilarious and a little scary.
I admit it, the best part of the last part that the creator took out, WAS THE CHANGE OF RANMARU, literally, I was very excited the hdp, well more than everything, what really impacted me, was when sara succumbs to her survival instinct and approaches rannmaru and SEDUCES him, OK NO XD but, she manipulates him.
Now that 3B has come out...... we can dispel the "Gin mastermind" theory since it's canonically confirmed by gin himself that he is autistic- therefore his behaviour can be explained by that- i.e he refuses to take all those clothes away and reveal his collar is likely because those clothes make him feel a lot better, and calm his anxiety/ help his senses not get overwhelmed
I finished it a bunch of times but I played the whole game in one runthrough and didn't understand the mai or hinako thing through and playthroughs LMAO can u please explain it to me? I know it has something to do with Shin stealing a hand or something but its all a blur
who knows, he may be alive (i hope) I think he was the only one who wasnt confirmed actually dead since after he collapses, the game flashes back to Joe dog keychain flashbacks. And he may have been the guy in that room with Miley doll. I hope. I hopeeeeeeee
If I may share a theory on one of the missing first trials, believe Alice having been partnered with Hinako, this assumes Hinako was killed in the room with the magnet trap, because the room above has an explanation, as to how the participant can just leave and not do the trial, this theory assumes that Alice left Hinako to die, considering he said he abandoned his first trial, this makes sense, and the reason Hinako is one of the dummies is because they were not in the same room. And if I recall each of them have some form of reaction to the two respective rooms.
So, Joe being a non-candidate with a doll, lots of Joe-esque people popping up in backstories, could Joe have been a doll the whole time? I'm watching this at 1 am and just letting my brain go ape
Well unless it was to purposefully mislead it we do know that dolls don't bleed which doesn't make sense since he looses tons of blood during *ahem* that scene. But i have a theory that he was intended to be a candidate but was removed from the candidate status shortly before the game. I believe that he was in a similar situation Kai could have been knowing more than he lets on but I don't believe he was evil, though. I posted a theory about it on reddit if you're interested I could explain my thoughts some more.
Really neat video! I especially enjoyed the Hinako bit. It's one of my favorite theories/predictions thus far. I also never noticed the picture you show at 23:53 That's soooo interesting. I'm really convinced she might have a bigger role to play in the grand scheme of things. Especially with the "if you reveal your entire hand" line she gives. Awesome stuff!
the lack of Gin reveal in the game has caused me to find him interesting, his hairstyle also looks like Miley’s... even more of when miley’s as scientist when she had short hair
I've got many theories about what may happen in yttd. But I'd like to discuss just the last I came up with, because I need an external opinion. It's about something that may be revealed very far in the game, so... POTENTIAL SPOILERS. If I'm right, this comment will spoil the game a lot. Still, I'm just speculating. Premise: I think it's strange that Nankidai called the "Nao ending" in chapter 2 "Massacre", considering that in the kidnappers' plan just one person will survive anyway. And what will happen if a non-candidate wins? Probably, we won't archieve "victory". But what does "victory" mean, exactly? The floormasters want us to archieve "victory" so bad. - Option 1: since the floormasters want us to "win", "victory" is a bad thing. So, maybe we should try to "not lose" instead. [Kurumada saying that "winning" and "not losing" are completely different things; Sara saying "I won't lose" to Joe's AI, and "we won't lose to the likes of you!" to Safalin at the beginning of chapter 3 in Kanna's route (so, she says "I won't lose" when she's "cured", using Safalin's words); Sara thinking "if I win, it'll end" in those eerie red words in Maple's room, but only in Shin's route (so, she wants to "win" when her conscience is still tormenting her, when she isn't cured)]. - Option 2: "victory" is important both for us and the kidnappers, because we don't know what will happen if we don't "gain victory". Maybe "victory" is the lesser evil. Plus, there will be just a winner, but the floormasters speak as if "victory" is a collective goal. So, the questions are: - shall we aim for "victory"? - is it ok to let a non-candidate win? Why Gashu, who's so loyal to the organisation, wanted to prevent a non-candidate's victory so much that he even made a trangression? Now, my theory. It's regarding the second question (can a non-candidate win?). I made this theory when I noticed that Gashu said, at the beginning of the second Main Game: "Best of luck. And may you avoid total destruction at all costs". And Sara thought to herself "that goes without saying": it means that this Gashu's sentence wasn't said at random, because Nankidai is aware that it may sound out of context. So, considering the name of Nao's ending ("Massacre"): what if when a non-candidate wins, "total destruction" happens? Maybe, that's why Miley said "Gashu wants to DESTROY the Death Game", when she wanted to get rid of Gashu. She took advantage of it, and she made it seem like Gashu wanted Nao to have a chance to win. And in Nao's ending is said that Safalin carried out the executions "tearfully". I mean, it's normal, since Safalin is always half crying, but maybe... idk, was it something that really needed to be told? Well, in this assumption, we still don't know if "total destruction" is a bad thing just for the floormasters or if it would be bad for us too. So, in short, my theory is: there's a less obvious reason if Nao's ending is called "Massacre". Whether it's a good or a bad thing. And "not gaining victory" could lead to a "total destruction". Again, whether it's a good or a bad thing. At this point we can ask: if the victory of a non-candidate is so bad for the kidnappers, why did they kidnap non-candidates in the first place? Maybe it's because they had to reach the number of 20 partecipants. Maybe some other candidates besides Midori were alredy dead. But this is just a random guess. Making theories in yttd is easier than it seems, because the floormasters are basically omniscient, and they talk A LOT. Maybe my theories are wrong, but it's super funny! To make assumption, I rely on few things: emphasized words or sentences; repetitions; weird/out of context statements; withheld informations (Nankidai uses the "silence" a lot, and it's very frustrating sometimes. I mean... sometimes there are informations that we should/could know, but Nankidai omits them on purpose. Why? Usually, it's because they will be important later. For example... why has no one asked what first trial each person had? Or why has no one asked what would have happened if Sara voted for Keiji, during the 2nd Main Game? Nankidai knew the answer (scrapped scenes). Maybe, it's because this uncertain detail will be important in the 3rd Main Game. Who knows. I lost count of how many times I thought "why hasn't anyone asked it yet????" during the game. Or when Sara missed the opportunity to see if Sou really gave the Sacrifice to Joe on purpose... it was annoying! Or the fact that the partecipants alredy know if Gashu was a doll, but we still don't. But I really appreciate that Nankidai doesn't feel the need to explain everything. Some informations can just be inferred, and that's fine. For example, we can deduce that Keiji used Sara as a glue in chapter 1, to hold the group togheter, because she seemed easy to trust. And probably it's because he wanted to avoid the lack of cooperation and pointless suspicions. Like when he said that it was better not to search the culprit for Mishima's death; or when he silenced Joe ad soon as he suggested that there could be a traitor. Another example: we can deduce that Kanna touched more tokens than Sou because she traded some tokens that Sou gave her for the laptop. Nankidai uses two types of "silence": one that I like a lot; and another that I don't like at all, but at least it's useful to make assumptions)
yes!! i’ve been wondering what would happen if you vote for keiji for the longest time (i’m going to assume you revote but if there was an even number of people then what?)
i think Kai's left eye is covered because nankidai is very very sneakily implying that he is always right or is right about something. it might just be a character trait, But there might be something more to that. maybe it can also imply he only thinks and sees things logically.
my theory is that Keiji voted for prof Mishuma. Knowing that Sou's motivation for acting is his fear of death at his 0%, as well as believing that high scoring players are bad, it seems really unlikely that he would vote for Mishuma who had a low score (around 3%). Instead I believe Sou's statement about him voting for Joe is true. He wanted to cripple Sara by getting rid of her ally, and didn't feel too much guilt about it since he knew anyone not on the list was gonna die anyway, this is the same reason Sou leaves the sacrifice card somewhere near joe for him to pick up. The game would want us to think it was Joe who voted the professor, but then why does joe insist the votes be discussed? Did he notice something? Keiji shuts down any discussion, because he knows it was Nao who voted the prof too, but is that the full reason? Joe was really suspicious of Keiji, he might have voted him, and Keiji knowing Nao voted the prof means he overheard and read between the lines of their convo...Joe does say latter he voted for himself, but its during the majority vote. As the sacrifice we cant trust what joe says here, he could easily tell any lie that he thinks will help him. Lets be honest though, are you really gonna tell me you believe Keiji didn't see the sign about the rules because it was on the back of the door, you think a detective like him would miss that? come on....
12:12 I have a (honestly pretty weak) Theory (maybe more like a head cannon) that Sou and Shin actually worked together to design dolls. Shin has been shown to be very computer savvy being able to make a Joe AI at is death bed in the Kanna ending (or just an evil Joe AI which is still impressive in his ending) as well as showing hacking ability. Sou/Midori says here that he is better with 3D shapes than with painting and possibly 2D art. He could possibly mean he is adept in engineering and/or sculpting which is required for actually making a body for the dolls. Sure Tia and Gashu are responsible for the emotions of the AI and Shin is responsible for the logical and without the other two to add the emotions, it’s possible that the AI he makes are one track minded... or Midori could just be a 3D modeler and He and Shin we’re actually game designers.
I too had the doubt that Shin wasn't just a job hopper. On the rosters he's called "self-employed", even in japanese: why didn't they use the word "freeter" or "job-hopper"? Maybe they didn't want to make the connection between Sou and Shin too obvious, but we can't be sure. And also... in chapter 3 we can ask info about Shin Tsukimi to Shin AI. In Kanna's route, when Shin AI says that he's just an ordinary job-hopper, Sara thinks to herself "Is that true...?". Maybe it's a clue given by Nankidai. It's strange that Sara had a doubt. But idk if they were making dolls togheter. Maybe Midori still took advantage of Shin's ability with computers, but in another way. But it's definetely possible that Midori made the dolls. At some point you can ask Safalin who made the dolls, but she just answers that it wasn't her. Anyway... apparently, Joe's AI existed even before. But it looks like Shin corrupted it in a very short time in the other route, and it's still impressive. I'm saying that it existed even before because I think that Joe's AI is the "one thing wrong" in Sara's reasoning that Shin was talking about. In fact, Sara said that Nao hadn't an AI because she wasn't a candidate, but Joe isn't a candidate either and he has an AI. Plus, making a realistic AI requires a lot of time, and you have to know that person very well. Sou didn't know Joe so well. And maybe Safalin was proposing to show Sara Joe's AI, when she talked about a "function" to make Sara feel closer to Joe's doll.
It’s so amazing how KGO called MOST OF THE GAME through theory’s after 3-2 can’t wait to see more videos as a follow up after 3-2!! Keep up the good work
Edit: it's regarding my previous comment, specifically the part about the Hades Incident. I can't speak Japanese, but... In the translation notes the Japanese name for "the Hades incident" ("Tengoku Jiken") is given in kanji as well. "Tengoku" in kanji is a mashup of a word that means "heaven" and a word that means "organized crime" or something like that (source: the translation notes). "Jiken", according to Google translate, means "incident, trouble, case, event". I thought that even the word "incident" was translated differently from japanese, like "Hades", but it's actually the same. And then I checked a japanese let's play of the game. The Memorandum is literally called "That incident" indeed. (The title consist of the hiragana for "that" in Japanese and the kanji for "Jiken". I searched how "that" is said in Japanese on the internet). So, it isn't a coincidence. I'm even more certain that the Memorandum was written by the winner (and, likely, the only survivor) of the Hades Incident. Oh, also I can't speak English very well either, so... I hope I made myself clear. Sorry if my grammar is a bit weird sometimes.
⚠️SPOILERS⚠️ I heard that there's an unused intro to chapter 3-A with a conversation between Midori and Sara's fake dad. The dialogue obviously depends on the route. They talk about how the dolls are ready and it's time to begin the final death game. It also includes their thoughts of Shin/Kanna, depending on who died. Here's the link, don't forget to turn on captions!: ruclips.net/video/uCWUrSiNdGw/видео.html
spoilers for new yttd chapter; I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING. the meister at the end of the chapter, with the new russian roulette, uses some of the same sprites as sara's dad (14:55), and acts a lot like him as well. this would also explain why midori couldn't control or defy him or his fate...
Surprised the among us update wasn't on here. For those who don't know, there was an update to the game that replaced every instance of the words "among us" with some other similar phrase.
21:21 I’m pretty sure covering one of your eyes symbolizes something like a “seeing eye” thing, like to represent that a character knows more than you’d think, I’ve seen it a few times in japanese media. And it does fit Kai so!! Maybe that’s it?
Theories confirmed so far: - Kanna and Shin are blood related -Hinako is the human among the dolls and she is from Asunaro - Q-Taro really died by burning to replace keiji -Mai's hands aren't actually hers, and so that's why she doesn't wear her gloves (Please reply if i forgot any)
then again if t thats the case, there would be more questions related to why gin's clothing was changed what is the fake gin's purpose, how come hinako doesnt actually have a collar, etc
Algorithm thought I wanted to watch a week-old video with 10k views about an iceberg for a series I had never heard about in my entire life. It was goddamn right.
Danggg some of these were actually were actually well predicted 👀. Ch.3-b Spoilers: -Qtaro burning (rip) -Mai's gloves being important -Hinako being a fake -Kanna and Sou (Shin) being siblings Good job keV!💚💖
i believe nankidai’s sketches of keiji eating eggs is a reference to the rivalry he and kai (whose signature dish is eggs benedict) have in many of nankidai’s sketches due to them being the same age
I'm very happy to getting back into your turn to die. Gonna try to keep up with the lore icebergs. That theory about the white room being where Ranmaru died seems plausible, yet in the next image we see him sliding on the ground. Wouldn't the blood have pooled where he was, near the floor? I think the person who died there must have had either their head or stomach blown out to have that much blood splatter like that.
"maybe they're all actually alive"(8:05) spoilers for 3-1-b (how the fuck do I write that ;-;) well you weren't wrong with Hinako oh wait whenever you mentioned that Q-taro might die from burning also not wrong goddamnit 😭
I'm rewatching this after playing through Chapter 3-1B, all I can say is that it hurts to watch this. For confidential reasons under spoiler territory.
I had an idea where instead of instantly getting Plant-ified, Kanna slowly dies throughout the next chapters, and you get to see her slowly getting weaker and weaker, and you get to see the flowers stabbing out of her skin.
hii! i'm iLUVSTAZUNA, i'm so happy you made a video about my iceberg, it makes me really really happy because i LOVE your videos! so thanks, i hope you see this 💕
4:49 Can someone please explain to me why the Reko route is more "uplifting" than the Alice route? There's like... nothing that changes between them, and Chapter 3 makes more sense with Alice being alive instead of Reko.
@@midnalazuli793 maybe because the brother route is much worse Like -Him forgetting about memories of Reko even the part where she died -Never got to know or be at peace with his sis (Reko route has Reko breaking down at the sight of dying Alice, wanting to be siblings again and moving on with the crime he committed) -More Reko doll suffering also Nao's choice didn't even matter because the doppelganger killed the real one and then died because she didn't get chosen to be kept alive -but one good thing was Reko being able to be reunited with Mishima and Nao at the afterlife Maybe Alice route looks so bad That the Reko route looks good
@@匚尺丂乇-k3v Thing is that Reko had always been a much more stronger person emotionally than her brother was. That much is evident when you take a look at their backgrounds. Reko was a famous musician who got to travel the country, perform with her friends, appear on magazines, etc. Meanwhile, Alice spent the last few years of his life rotting away in a prison cell for a crime he didn’t commit, knowing his sister hated and thought he was a killer. The only thing that Alice had left to live for was the opportunity to reconcile with his sister, and after that was taken away, he was completely destroyed. Safalin’s device didn’t remove his memories of his sister, it took away all the unpleasant ones. It was the only closure that Alice could’ve received, and it was because of it that he was able to press onward. Reko of course didn’t need it because she was already a strong person, and it also probably helped that Alice didn’t mean as much to her as she did to him. Also, the Reko doll dies in both routes, and I never really cared about her either way.
Keeping the girls: more lore (learning more about /interacting more with the past, lighter tone) Keeping the bois: more plot (changing/interacting with the current story - may not be good change, but still VERY interesting)
I still believe Kanna was probably actually the logical choice. It's not a matter of the emotional appeal to keeping Kanna alive; rather than it is the logical position to kill off Sou/Shin. Through the entire game he presented himself as a threat and antagonistic to your goals, he frequently lied and backstabbed; even after supposedly making amends. And without meta knowledge going into chapter 3; you're making a decision in the prior chapter that would motivate Sou to be even more antagonistic, while he has the largest set of skills to specifically screw an individual (you/Sara) over in particular. Meanwhile in the darkest interpretation, we've gained a potential and likely willing scapegoat in Kanna. Someone who is a liability is a worse choice than someone who is useless... And in truth no one is truly useless in a death game.
Speculation time!! :D (Potential spoilers below?) I think that the scene with Sara's father at the end of chapter 2 comes from the very last simulation (because we are in the winner's room and because Sara's father mentions "the final Death game"). So, instead of a flashfoward, it's something that happened before. After all, probably Sara's dream before the 2nd Main Game comes from a simulation too. I have no idea why Sara has a memory from a simulation, though. I think that the real flashfoward is the recap scene at the beginning of chapter 3. I think that that scene will take place when the Death game is over. There's a chair, and someone says that they want to know soon "about that Death Game you were involved in". Then, you can choose whether "leave" ("Got it. Some other time... Contact me whenever you wanna talk") or "retrace memories". The dialogues in general are very fitting with this scenario ("it's not anything too difficult, is it? I'm begging you"). And, guess what, it seems like the other person is not talking to Sara. But maybe they're not even talking to a survivor/partecipant. Otherwise, the list of possible survivors is veeery short. Take out Shin, Kanna, Alice and Reko too, because they're mentioned in the recap, and we just have Gin, Keiji or Q-taro. Actually... we can guess what Alice's first trial was (Hinako, coff coff). Poor Alice, he ran away without even listening to the speaker. He basically killed another person and he doesn't even know. So, Alice and Reko hadn't the same first trial. 19:52 There are four grey shapes of other dolls in the background in this picture. I tried to guess whose those dolls were by their silhouettes. There's only one shape that looks a bit familiar, and it looks like Kugie. So, maybe Kugie has a doll too. The theory of Hinako being swapped is super interesting! Another interesting theory is Ranmaru being alive, since his video was cut (maybe he was the person under the glass?), and also us being all part of Asunaro. But... Ranmaru was heavily injured anyway, I doubt that he survived. Hinako's behaviour is very strange. I thought that maybe it was because she knows more about the Death game, because she received the most important piece of information. We'll see. Oh, in Hinako's first trial room there's a black stain on the floor, and it's precisely under the stain on the ceiling. I though that the stain on the floor is connected to the fact that in Hinako's painting we can see a black stain instead of her pink hair. But now I'm even more unsure. Could Sou have taken the key from the first or second floor? I remember Miley saying that someone took a key, when we overheard her conversation with an unknown person. Gin is shady, but I don't think he's the mastermind or something like that. But he's still shady. And he was either passed out or in some other place when we saw Midori's photo or the contract for the first time. Maybe he wouldn't have recognized them. The Memorandum book is called "that incident". And the scrapped version of the memorandum seems to suggest that it describes the Hades Incident as well. In order to have the final proof, we should check what's the Japanese title of the Memorandum, because I read in the translation notes of the game that "the Hades incident" was translated in a very different way. If it's called something like "That incident" in Japanese as well, then the correspondence in English is just a coincidence. But I don't know Japanese at all :')
When I said "under the glass" I meant *over -.- And I wrote "whether "leave"", without "to". Sorry for my English, I know it's not perfect. I hope you could understand it easily anyway. About Ranmaru... we didn't see his video to the end, but I've just realized that Ranmaru probably did. So, I don't think this is a clue. Talking again about the possible survivor, it seems like the most plausible is Keiji, Gin or Q-taro (if the person in the recap is talking to a survivor, at least). But at first I wouldn't have bet on any of them: not Q-taro, because he needs a good redemption arc; not Keiji, because he's too powerful, because he alredy endured too many traumas and because the "mentor" is usually set aside at some point; not Gin, because he's too weak (he isn't "mentally" weak, but... He's still vulnerable because he has to depend on the others in the Main Games and he has a very low percentage. And look at how many times he was in danger). I wouldn't have bet on Shin or Kanna either (I doubt that Shin will manage to beat his 0.0%, because there must be some serious reason for it. And Kanna was always ready to sacrifice herself). At this point, I think that either Gin or Keiji will survive. But idk. We'll see. I still hope that more than a person will survive, but I'm really dubious about it. Edit: but it's strange that the recap follows Sara's point of view, if the survivor is someone else. Maybe they're still talking to Sara, but using the third person instead of the second. About Gin. When I said that he's "shady" I meant that there's a lot that we still don't know about him, but I think he's actually in good faith. Maybe he's like Keebo (an unaware spy or something like that). But he has a collar, a percentage, and so on, like everyone else. The only "strange" thing is that there are a lot of missed informations about him: we don't know what his first trial was like, what he did on the first and second floor, what his collar looks like, if he met Midori before the Death Game or if he signed that paper. The only reason why he's suspicious is that there's a lot we don't know about him. Other than that, he's like any other partecipant, and he actually did anything suspicious.
I think the possibility of Sou getting the key from the first floor while Keiji and Sara were snooping around isn't too likely, since he was working together with Q-taro and Kanna during that time. But Miley did say Gashu was 'trying to destroy the death game' and Sou was the one who brought up the possibility of Gashu being an ally to put an end to the death game during the Main Game. He must've gotten that belief from somewhere. ....Wait, I'm stupid. Scratch 'not too likely' and make that impossible because we see him having the key before the final attraction started, when Keiji questioned him about having a collar. Nevermind, he must've gotten it way beforehand. Probably at his first trial... although Safalin seemed surprised at him being able to take off his collar. Maybe when we were all investigating, but Kai was in the kitchen during that time. Midori and Sou are the only people who were confirmed to be capable of removing those death collars... funny how it's only the Sous that get that right, huh? If we know how Midori get his off it'd become clearer how Sou removed his, maybe.

I finished it a bunch of times but I played the whole game in one runthrough and didn't understand the mai or hinako thing through and playthroughs LMAO can u please explain it to me? I know it has something to do with Shin stealing a hand or something but its all a blur
OH SHOOT KANNA HAS A GUN-
I want Kai back
Nankidai took him away from me too soon :(
same
he deserved better
kai,,
who knows, he may be alive (i hope)
I think he was the only one who wasnt confirmed actually dead since after he collapses, the game flashes back to Joe dog keychain flashbacks. And he may have been the guy in that room with Miley doll. I hope. I hopeeeeeeee
@@souhiyori8032 yeah exactly !! it was never written "kai has expired",,,,,, I think
In Nankidai’s name, you can spell Kai woof😳 Coincidence meow??

Hi!
If I may share a theory on one of the missing first trials, believe Alice having been partnered with Hinako, this assumes Hinako was killed in the room with the magnet trap, because the room above has an explanation, as to how the participant can just leave and not do the trial, this theory assumes that Alice left Hinako to die, considering he said he abandoned his first trial, this makes sense, and the reason Hinako is one of the dummies is because they were not in the same room. And if I recall each of them have some form of reaction to the two respective rooms.
WHAT THE FUCK I WAS RIGHT???

So, Joe being a non-candidate with a doll, lots of Joe-esque people popping up in backstories, could Joe have been a doll the whole time?
I'm watching this at 1 am and just letting my brain go ape
Well unless it was to purposefully mislead it we do know that dolls don't bleed which doesn't make sense since he looses tons of blood during *ahem* that scene. But i have a theory that he was intended to be a candidate but was removed from the candidate status shortly before the game. I believe that he was in a similar situation Kai could have been knowing more than he lets on but I don't believe he was evil, though. I posted a theory about it on reddit if you're interested I could explain my thoughts some more.

"Kanna is related to the REAL Sou"
So close, yet so far
wait kanna is related to sou? I played the whole game in 1 sitting so I was rlly tired and didnt understand lots of the final part

Nice pfp omori girly ITS COMIN OUT ON NITENDOOOO
Really neat video! I especially enjoyed the Hinako bit. It's one of my favorite theories/predictions thus far. I also never noticed the picture you show at 23:53 That's soooo interesting. I'm really convinced she might have a bigger role to play in the grand scheme of things. Especially with the "if you reveal your entire hand" line she gives. Awesome stuff!
the lack of Gin reveal in the game has caused me to find him interesting, his hairstyle also looks like Miley’s... even more of when miley’s as scientist when she had short hair
I've got many theories about what may happen in yttd. But I'd like to discuss just the last I came up with, because I need an external opinion.
It's about something that may be revealed very far in the game, so... POTENTIAL SPOILERS. If I'm right, this comment will spoil the game a lot. Still, I'm just speculating.
Premise: I think it's strange that Nankidai called the "Nao ending" in chapter 2 "Massacre", considering that in the kidnappers' plan just one person will survive anyway. And what will happen if a non-candidate wins? Probably, we won't archieve "victory". But what does "victory" mean, exactly? The floormasters want us to archieve "victory" so bad.
- Option 1: since the floormasters want us to "win", "victory" is a bad thing. So, maybe we should try to "not lose" instead. [Kurumada saying that "winning" and "not losing" are completely different things; Sara saying "I won't lose" to Joe's AI, and "we won't lose to the likes of you!" to Safalin at the beginning of chapter 3 in Kanna's route (so, she says "I won't lose" when she's "cured", using Safalin's words); Sara thinking "if I win, it'll end" in those eerie red words in Maple's room, but only in Shin's route (so, she wants to "win" when her conscience is still tormenting her, when she isn't cured)].
- Option 2: "victory" is important both for us and the kidnappers, because we don't know what will happen if we don't "gain victory". Maybe "victory" is the lesser evil. Plus, there will be just a winner, but the floormasters speak as if "victory" is a collective goal.
So, the questions are:
- shall we aim for "victory"?
- is it ok to let a non-candidate win? Why Gashu, who's so loyal to the organisation, wanted to prevent a non-candidate's victory so much that he even made a trangression?
Now, my theory. It's regarding the second question (can a non-candidate win?).
I made this theory when I noticed that Gashu said, at the beginning of the second Main Game: "Best of luck. And may you avoid total destruction at all costs". And Sara thought to herself "that goes without saying": it means that this Gashu's sentence wasn't said at random, because Nankidai is aware that it may sound out of context.
So, considering the name of Nao's ending ("Massacre"): what if when a non-candidate wins, "total destruction" happens? Maybe, that's why Miley said "Gashu wants to DESTROY the Death Game", when she wanted to get rid of Gashu. She took advantage of it, and she made it seem like Gashu wanted Nao to have a chance to win. And in Nao's ending is said that Safalin carried out the executions "tearfully". I mean, it's normal, since Safalin is always half crying, but maybe... idk, was it something that really needed to be told?
Well, in this assumption, we still don't know if "total destruction" is a bad thing just for the floormasters or if it would be bad for us too.
So, in short, my theory is: there's a less obvious reason if Nao's ending is called "Massacre". Whether it's a good or a bad thing. And "not gaining victory" could lead to a "total destruction". Again, whether it's a good or a bad thing.
At this point we can ask: if the victory of a non-candidate is so bad for the kidnappers, why did they kidnap non-candidates in the first place? Maybe it's because they had to reach the number of 20 partecipants. Maybe some other candidates besides Midori were alredy dead. But this is just a random guess.
Making theories in yttd is easier than it seems, because the floormasters are basically omniscient, and they talk A LOT. Maybe my theories are wrong, but it's super funny!
To make assumption, I rely on few things: emphasized words or sentences; repetitions; weird/out of context statements; withheld informations (Nankidai uses the "silence" a lot, and it's very frustrating sometimes. I mean... sometimes there are informations that we should/could know, but Nankidai omits them on purpose. Why? Usually, it's because they will be important later.
For example... why has no one asked what first trial each person had?
Or why has no one asked what would have happened if Sara voted for Keiji, during the 2nd Main Game? Nankidai knew the answer (scrapped scenes). Maybe, it's because this uncertain detail will be important in the 3rd Main Game. Who knows.
I lost count of how many times I thought "why hasn't anyone asked it yet????" during the game.
Or when Sara missed the opportunity to see if Sou really gave the Sacrifice to Joe on purpose... it was annoying! Or the fact that the partecipants alredy know if Gashu was a doll, but we still don't.
But I really appreciate that Nankidai doesn't feel the need to explain everything. Some informations can just be inferred, and that's fine. For example, we can deduce that Keiji used Sara as a glue in chapter 1, to hold the group togheter, because she seemed easy to trust. And probably it's because he wanted to avoid the lack of cooperation and pointless suspicions. Like when he said that it was better not to search the culprit for Mishima's death; or when he silenced Joe ad soon as he suggested that there could be a traitor.
Another example: we can deduce that Kanna touched more tokens than Sou because she traded some tokens that Sou gave her for the laptop.
Nankidai uses two types of "silence": one that I like a lot; and another that I don't like at all, but at least it's useful to make assumptions)
yes!! i’ve been wondering what would happen if you vote for keiji for the longest time (i’m going to assume you revote but if there was an even number of people then what?)
i love how ranmaru and nao are just seen as fluff balls by both the fandom and the creator himself
i think Kai's left eye is covered because nankidai is very very sneakily implying that he is always right or is right about something. it might just be a character trait, But there might be something more to that. maybe it can also imply he only thinks and sees things logically.
3B IMPLIED SPOILERS
10:04 are you some sort of prediction master?
I was thinking the same omg 😂
my theory is that Keiji voted for prof Mishuma. Knowing that Sou's motivation for acting is his fear of death at his 0%, as well as believing that high scoring players are bad, it seems really unlikely that he would vote for Mishuma who had a low score (around 3%). Instead I believe Sou's statement about him voting for Joe is true. He wanted to cripple Sara by getting rid of her ally, and didn't feel too much guilt about it since he knew anyone not on the list was gonna die anyway, this is the same reason Sou leaves the sacrifice card somewhere near joe for him to pick up. The game would want us to think it was Joe who voted the professor, but then why does joe insist the votes be discussed? Did he notice something? Keiji shuts down any discussion, because he knows it was Nao who voted the prof too, but is that the full reason? Joe was really suspicious of Keiji, he might have voted him, and Keiji knowing Nao voted the prof means he overheard and read between the lines of their convo...Joe does say latter he voted for himself, but its during the majority vote. As the sacrifice we cant trust what joe says here, he could easily tell any lie that he thinks will help him.
Lets be honest though, are you really gonna tell me you believe Keiji didn't see the sign about the rules because it was on the back of the door, you think a detective like him would miss that?
come on....
My sister made the iceberg!! Thank you so much for picking it up! ☺️
12:12 I have a (honestly pretty weak) Theory (maybe more like a head cannon) that Sou and Shin actually worked together to design dolls. Shin has been shown to be very computer savvy being able to make a Joe AI at is death bed in the Kanna ending (or just an evil Joe AI which is still impressive in his ending) as well as showing hacking ability. Sou/Midori says here that he is better with 3D shapes than with painting and possibly 2D art. He could possibly mean he is adept in engineering and/or sculpting which is required for actually making a body for the dolls. Sure Tia and Gashu are responsible for the emotions of the AI and Shin is responsible for the logical and without the other two to add the emotions, it’s possible that the AI he makes are one track minded... or Midori could just be a 3D modeler and He and Shin we’re actually game designers.
I too had the doubt that Shin wasn't just a job hopper.
On the rosters he's called "self-employed", even in japanese: why didn't they use the word "freeter" or "job-hopper"? Maybe they didn't want to make the connection between Sou and Shin too obvious, but we can't be sure.
And also... in chapter 3 we can ask info about Shin Tsukimi to Shin AI. In Kanna's route, when Shin AI says that he's just an ordinary job-hopper, Sara thinks to herself "Is that true...?". Maybe it's a clue given by Nankidai. It's strange that Sara had a doubt.
But idk if they were making dolls togheter. Maybe Midori still took advantage of Shin's ability with computers, but in another way. But it's definetely possible that Midori made the dolls. At some point you can ask Safalin who made the dolls, but she just answers that it wasn't her.
Anyway... apparently, Joe's AI existed even before. But it looks like Shin corrupted it in a very short time in the other route, and it's still impressive.
I'm saying that it existed even before because I think that Joe's AI is the "one thing wrong" in Sara's reasoning that Shin was talking about. In fact, Sara said that Nao hadn't an AI because she wasn't a candidate, but Joe isn't a candidate either and he has an AI.
Plus, making a realistic AI requires a lot of time, and you have to know that person very well. Sou didn't know Joe so well. And maybe Safalin was proposing to show Sara Joe's AI, when she talked about a "function" to make Sara feel closer to Joe's doll.
Spoilers: omg the qtaro bbq and death by burning was so spot on
Gin is adorable and I love him but I do think he could be the mastermind. ALSO TOPLESS KEIJI WHAAAAAT 😍
It’s so amazing how KGO called MOST OF THE GAME through theory’s after 3-2 can’t wait to see more videos as a follow up after 3-2!! Keep up the good work
Edit: it's regarding my previous comment, specifically the part about the Hades Incident.
I can't speak Japanese, but...
In the translation notes the Japanese name for "the Hades incident" ("Tengoku Jiken") is given in kanji as well. "Tengoku" in kanji is a mashup of a word that means "heaven" and a word that means "organized crime" or something like that (source: the translation notes). "Jiken", according to Google translate, means "incident, trouble, case, event".
I thought that even the word "incident" was translated differently from japanese, like "Hades", but it's actually the same.
And then I checked a japanese let's play of the game. The Memorandum is literally called "That incident" indeed. (The title consist of the hiragana for "that" in Japanese and the kanji for "Jiken". I searched how "that" is said in Japanese on the internet).
So, it isn't a coincidence. I'm even more certain that the Memorandum was written by the winner (and, likely, the only survivor) of the Hades Incident.
Oh, also I can't speak English very well either, so... I hope I made myself clear. Sorry if my grammar is a bit weird sometimes.
it's blowing my mind rn
Thanks KGOKev! Amazing video, very high quality and it was great to help out.
Everyone talking about how accurate the theories were while I'm here hoping to see more shirtless Keiji
the theory where Mishima's head is hidden in Mew chan is so fucked up bro
⚠️SPOILERS⚠️
I heard that there's an unused intro to chapter 3-A with a conversation between Midori and Sara's fake dad. The dialogue obviously depends on the route. They talk about how the dolls are ready and it's time to begin the final death game. It also includes their thoughts of Shin/Kanna, depending on who died.
Here's the link, don't forget to turn on captions!:

that’s interesting!
@@ris1111 It is!
The way like half of these predicted part 3-B
now that I’m rewatching this- Q-taro really did get bbq-ed
spoilers for new yttd chapter;
I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING. the meister at the end of the chapter, with the new russian roulette, uses some of the same sprites as sara's dad (14:55), and acts a lot like him as well. this would also explain why midori couldn't control or defy him or his fate...
Surprised the among us update wasn't on here. For those who don't know, there was an update to the game that replaced every instance of the words "among us" with some other similar phrase.
21:21
I’m pretty sure covering one of your eyes symbolizes something like a “seeing eye” thing, like to represent that a character knows more than you’d think, I’ve seen it a few times in japanese media. And it does fit Kai so!! Maybe that’s it?
I LOVE HOW HE USED THE MIDORI HIGH FACE FOR THE "KEIJI DYED"
The Q-Taro theory aged so so so poorly......... :(
"Which lead many to believe, that Q-taro will die from burning."
*sighs*
*opens comments*
Looking back onto this again after watching the latest Chapter... That Qtaro BBQ reference hits quite different-
there is a frankly worrying amount of theories mentioned that turned out to be important in 3-1b
Theories confirmed so far:
- Kanna and Shin are blood related
-Hinako is the human among the dolls and she is from Asunaro
- Q-Taro really died by burning to replace keiji
-Mai's hands aren't actually hers, and so that's why she doesn't wear her gloves
(Please reply if i forgot any)
i know gin is sus but i hope he doesnt know hes a traitor. maybe hes actually a really valuable person to the mastermind. ...im in denial
9:52 oh no
Seeing some things that have been proven later shows how keen eyed some fans are.
the fact you got so many things right scares me that other predictions like evil Gin might be true as well
Maybe the Gin we see in the game is a doll and the Real Gin was the Real Hinako who's dead body we see in the Painting room.
then again if t thats the case, there would be more questions related to why gin's clothing was changed what is the fake gin's purpose, how come hinako doesnt actually have a collar, etc

YTTD ICE BUGERBERG IM SAVING THAT IMAGE TO MY PHONE
i believe nankidai’s sketches of keiji eating eggs is a reference to the rivalry he and kai (whose signature dish is eggs benedict) have in many of nankidai’s sketches due to them being the same age
I was just going through an iceberg phase, ty for making this ily
I'm very happy to getting back into your turn to die. Gonna try to keep up with the lore icebergs. That theory about the white room being where Ranmaru died seems plausible, yet in the next image we see him sliding on the ground. Wouldn't the blood have pooled where he was, near the floor? I think the person who died there must have had either their head or stomach blown out to have that much blood splatter like that.
Homie be droppin that vid for me, thank you good sir

spoilers for 3-1-b (how the fuck do I write that ;-;)
well
you weren't wrong with Hinako
oh wait
whenever you mentioned that Q-taro might die from burning
also not wrong
goddamnit 😭
I'm rewatching this after playing through Chapter 3-1B, all I can say is that it hurts to watch this. For confidential reasons under spoiler territory.
I had an idea where instead of instantly getting Plant-ified, Kanna slowly dies throughout the next chapters, and you get to see her slowly getting weaker and weaker, and you get to see the flowers stabbing out of her skin.
I think the clothes that Rio Ranger "doesn't wear" are just clothes that wouldn't be immediately visible such as underwear or socks
hii! i'm iLUVSTAZUNA, i'm so happy you made a video about my iceberg, it makes me really really happy because i LOVE your videos! so thanks, i hope you see this 💕
4:49 Can someone please explain to me why the Reko route is more "uplifting" than the Alice route? There's like... nothing that changes between them, and Chapter 3 makes more sense with Alice being alive instead of Reko.
Reko chose to have hope and not erase the "bad" memories of her bro since she barely has any happy memories with him
Also Nao gets to thank Reko for getting to meet her before dying
@@匚尺丂乇-k3v
You do have a point there, but it's so minor, I don't see how anyone could dawn on it.
@@midnalazuli793 maybe because the brother route is much worse
Like
-Him forgetting about memories of Reko even the part where she died
-Never got to know or be at peace with his sis (Reko route has Reko breaking down at the sight of dying Alice, wanting to be siblings again and moving on with the crime he committed)
-More Reko doll suffering also Nao's choice didn't even matter because the doppelganger killed the real one and then died because she didn't get chosen to be kept alive
-but one good thing was Reko being able to be reunited with Mishima and Nao at the afterlife
Maybe Alice route looks so bad
That the Reko route looks good
@@匚尺丂乇-k3v
Thing is that Reko had always been a much more stronger person emotionally than her brother was. That much is evident when you take a look at their backgrounds. Reko was a famous musician who got to travel the country, perform with her friends, appear on magazines, etc. Meanwhile, Alice spent the last few years of his life rotting away in a prison cell for a crime he didn’t commit, knowing his sister hated and thought he was a killer. The only thing that Alice had left to live for was the opportunity to reconcile with his sister, and after that was taken away, he was completely destroyed.
Safalin’s device didn’t remove his memories of his sister, it took away all the unpleasant ones. It was the only closure that Alice could’ve received, and it was because of it that he was able to press onward. Reko of course didn’t need it because she was already a strong person, and it also probably helped that Alice didn’t mean as much to her as she did to him.
Also, the Reko doll dies in both routes, and I never really cared about her either way.

“Sou Route May become happier”
Spoilers
Cotton Candy: yeah idk about that man. I’ll handle it skillfully
kev you are epic, ur literally like a yttd version of dangan mandy
Yeah I like having either Sou or Alice alive since Kanna and Reko both feel too bright
Plus I want Midori deets
the greatest pun of all time: cubetaro iceberg
... Q-taro did meet an firery demize...
Just saw that Chapter 3-1B got translated a couple hours ago..., now I'm super hyped 😭👏
I still believe Kanna was probably actually the logical choice.
It's not a matter of the emotional appeal to keeping Kanna alive; rather than it is the logical position to kill off Sou/Shin.
Through the entire game he presented himself as a threat and antagonistic to your goals, he frequently lied and backstabbed; even after supposedly making amends.
And without meta knowledge going into chapter 3; you're making a decision in the prior chapter that would motivate Sou to be even more antagonistic, while he has the largest set of skills to specifically screw an individual (you/Sara) over in particular.
Meanwhile in the darkest interpretation, we've gained a potential and likely willing scapegoat in Kanna.
Someone who is a liability is a worse choice than someone who is useless... And in truth no one is truly useless in a death game.
Speculation time!! :D (Potential spoilers below?)
I think that the scene with Sara's father at the end of chapter 2 comes from the very last simulation (because we are in the winner's room and because Sara's father mentions "the final Death game"). So, instead of a flashfoward, it's something that happened before.
After all, probably Sara's dream before the 2nd Main Game comes from a simulation too. I have no idea why Sara has a memory from a simulation, though.
I think that the real flashfoward is the recap scene at the beginning of chapter 3. I think that that scene will take place when the Death game is over. There's a chair, and someone says that they want to know soon "about that Death Game you were involved in". Then, you can choose whether "leave" ("Got it. Some other time... Contact me whenever you wanna talk") or "retrace memories". The dialogues in general are very fitting with this scenario ("it's not anything too difficult, is it? I'm begging you"). And, guess what, it seems like the other person is not talking to Sara. But maybe they're not even talking to a survivor/partecipant. Otherwise, the list of possible survivors is veeery short. Take out Shin, Kanna, Alice and Reko too, because they're mentioned in the recap, and we just have Gin, Keiji or Q-taro.
Actually... we can guess what Alice's first trial was (Hinako, coff coff). Poor Alice, he ran away without even listening to the speaker. He basically killed another person and he doesn't even know.
So, Alice and Reko hadn't the same first trial.
19:52 There are four grey shapes of other dolls in the background in this picture. I tried to guess whose those dolls were by their silhouettes. There's only one shape that looks a bit familiar, and it looks like Kugie. So, maybe Kugie has a doll too.
The theory of Hinako being swapped is super interesting! Another interesting theory is Ranmaru being alive, since his video was cut (maybe he was the person under the glass?), and also us being all part of Asunaro. But... Ranmaru was heavily injured anyway, I doubt that he survived.
Hinako's behaviour is very strange. I thought that maybe it was because she knows more about the Death game, because she received the most important piece of information. We'll see.
Oh, in Hinako's first trial room there's a black stain on the floor, and it's precisely under the stain on the ceiling. I though that the stain on the floor is connected to the fact that in Hinako's painting we can see a black stain instead of her pink hair. But now I'm even more unsure.
Could Sou have taken the key from the first or second floor? I remember Miley saying that someone took a key, when we overheard her conversation with an unknown person.
Gin is shady, but I don't think he's the mastermind or something like that. But he's still shady. And he was either passed out or in some other place when we saw Midori's photo or the contract for the first time. Maybe he wouldn't have recognized them.
The Memorandum book is called "that incident". And the scrapped version of the memorandum seems to suggest that it describes the Hades Incident as well.
In order to have the final proof, we should check what's the Japanese title of the Memorandum, because I read in the translation notes of the game that "the Hades incident" was translated in a very different way. If it's called something like "That incident" in Japanese as well, then the correspondence in English is just a coincidence. But I don't know Japanese at all :')
When I said "under the glass" I meant *over -.-
And I wrote "whether "leave"", without "to". Sorry for my English, I know it's not perfect. I hope you could understand it easily anyway.
About Ranmaru... we didn't see his video to the end, but I've just realized that Ranmaru probably did. So, I don't think this is a clue.
Talking again about the possible survivor, it seems like the most plausible is Keiji, Gin or Q-taro (if the person in the recap is talking to a survivor, at least). But at first I wouldn't have bet on any of them: not Q-taro, because he needs a good redemption arc; not Keiji, because he's too powerful, because he alredy endured too many traumas and because the "mentor" is usually set aside at some point; not Gin, because he's too weak (he isn't "mentally" weak, but... He's still vulnerable because he has to depend on the others in the Main Games and he has a very low percentage. And look at how many times he was in danger). I wouldn't have bet on Shin or Kanna either (I doubt that Shin will manage to beat his 0.0%, because there must be some serious reason for it. And Kanna was always ready to sacrifice herself).
At this point, I think that either Gin or Keiji will survive. But idk. We'll see. I still hope that more than a person will survive, but I'm really dubious about it.
Edit: but it's strange that the recap follows Sara's point of view, if the survivor is someone else. Maybe they're still talking to Sara, but using the third person instead of the second.
About Gin. When I said that he's "shady" I meant that there's a lot that we still don't know about him, but I think he's actually in good faith. Maybe he's like Keebo (an unaware spy or something like that). But he has a collar, a percentage, and so on, like everyone else. The only "strange" thing is that there are a lot of missed informations about him: we don't know what his first trial was like, what he did on the first and second floor, what his collar looks like, if he met Midori before the Death Game or if he signed that paper. The only reason why he's suspicious is that there's a lot we don't know about him. Other than that, he's like any other partecipant, and he actually did anything suspicious.
I think the possibility of Sou getting the key from the first floor while Keiji and Sara were snooping around isn't too likely, since he was working together with Q-taro and Kanna during that time. But Miley did say Gashu was 'trying to destroy the death game' and Sou was the one who brought up the possibility of Gashu being an ally to put an end to the death game during the Main Game. He must've gotten that belief from somewhere.
....Wait, I'm stupid. Scratch 'not too likely' and make that impossible because we see him having the key before the final attraction started, when Keiji questioned him about having a collar. Nevermind, he must've gotten it way beforehand. Probably at his first trial... although Safalin seemed surprised at him being able to take off his collar. Maybe when we were all investigating, but Kai was in the kitchen during that time.
Midori and Sou are the only people who were confirmed to be capable of removing those death collars... funny how it's only the Sous that get that right, huh? If we know how Midori get his off it'd become clearer how Sou removed his, maybe.
im so glad i watched this after playing the recent update cause geez some of the theories were WAY too accurate slkfjsd
