    The real Dragon (Fifteen) in the present is 24 per to the dossier. Zero is 22. The war happened 7 years ago, meaning Zero and The Dragon were killing at the ages of 15 and 17 😰

      Or the Chronos has slowed their aging possibly? Zero has a monogue where he says he way in the jungle for 28 years, and every week that goes by feels like a year.

      @@chuvarova6052 I don't believe that this would have affected their age reported there. To everyone else, including those who would be reporting those details, they were still born on a set date and have a set age. They wouldn't just change their age to accommodate for slower ageing as a result, so I do still believe they would have been 15 and 17 at the time of the war. Those 7 years however would have felt much longer to nulls.

    I love the similarities between Katana Zero and Hotline Miami 1/2's stories. There's a lot that's different, obviously, but both deal with ex-military vigilantes in an 80's neon-filled setting slaughtering countless people, including innocents, due to their past trauma. I don't know what it is about that specific kind of story. But I love it. It's so depressing, yet the visuals are so colorful and bright, you just can't look away from it.

      Eneas Rodríguez. I’d say the girl is the accumulation of his guilt. I guess that the program didn’t destroy his emotions, so I’m sure he feels remorse and guilt for his actions, on a subconscious level. The girl is probably the reason he’ll do some things in the future that will be linked to a sort of redemption. Maybe he’ll find the girl trapped by the government and to save her take down the government, only to find the girl never existed but was his subconscious desire to redeem what he did in someway.

      Actually I was thinking (due to the therapy session after the mission of Leon von Alvensleben) that Zero likes to kill, also the Unnamed Null will mention that the Nulls like to kill, due their immortality, if you choose "I'm not here for Chronos" in The Bunker mission.
      So, he's isn't strictly "forced" to kill anyway...

      Nathan Nightfall interesting take on it, but what I don't get is why the therapist calls Zero the Dragon when he's really not. The reason I thought Zero was trapped inside his mind is only because in one of the last levels I'm pretty sure he is back in the mission where Zero was captured by V and he says something that feels very ominous, also what about the guy that V injects with the same drug that Zero is injected with. Only I'm pretty sure in that tape the guy is forever trapped in that loop of being killed by V over and over again. I could be wrong but I don't know this is just what I think is happening to Zero

    This "story" of Katana Zero is far too inaccurate.... there is too many inaccurate information in this video.
    1:08 we don't know whether Zero and Fifteen are the only NULLs to obtain the class "gamma", they are the only known gamma rank NULLs we know of.
    1:24 nowhere in the game does it mentions that Chronos was PURPOSELY engineered to have such a lethal withdraw symptoms
    1:38 also nowhere in the game mentions that Chronos was DELIBERATELY manufactured in limited supply, however, we can infer from the dialog during the Fifteen's prison infiltration mission (the prisoner answers to Fifteen, he doesn't believe there are many with the capability of producing Chronos) that the manufacture of Chronos requires lots of resources
    1:50 to clarify, Chronos is a drug that allows the user to literally rewind time but during withdraw, the user loses control of that power, constantly going back or forward in time without the user's will.
    2:00 1) it's clear that there are people trying to bring back Chronos, but it is also clear that no one has successfully been able to recreate Chronos. So what do you mean by "Chronos has found its way into the streets"? hmmm? 2) Also "causing the public to raise questions"? What questions? The public barely even believes in the story of Chronos evident by the bar scene with the two war vets: One of the vets tells you stories of government conspiracy about Chronos (even though he doesn't know the name of the drug), while the other vet thinks those are just one of his "stories"
    3:00 Fifteen and his NULL partner is not necessarily after the government, but rather is on a mission to kill everyone who was involved in the creation of Chronos and prevent the recreation of Chronos one in for all
    if you are going to do a "story explained" video, at least get the facts straight bud, disappointing...

      It doesn't rewind time, he does those things in the future until you clear the level and then he decides that's the route he will take, and he does the exact same thing you just did hence the security camera. The part about losing control is mostly correct but it's basically just him uncontrollably using the ability to see what happens in the future then going back to the start or a save point, which you do in the gambling scene betting all on a color.

His ability to rewind time only happens when he dies so I don't see how he can do something and "decides that's the route he will take" after killing all enemies.
      Literally every part of a level you complete he says "Yes, that should work" implying he's fine with the outcome, mainly because he didn't get injured during that section of the level. It's not him deciding out of the many times he's done that section which life he would choose. Because otherwise, we would literally have no game, since we are playing as his current life.

      Danster 549 I considered that but then wouldn’t he then know the best thing to say for every conversation especially in the Mr V kissyface scene? If he had precognition he wouldn’t be asking questions and he wouldn’t be dying.
      Also if he had precognition this means you could theoretically do things like talk to electro head but never have that conversation or know the outcome to every mission and knowing what chronos is before he’s supposed to which would just completely fuck up the plot.
      It is referenced in the game that chronos gives some precognition but I don’t believe it goes to any significant extent other than insane reflexes.
      Also it is referenced by headhunter (the null you fight) that she’s killed you before. That’s not because her precognition is not working, this would mean it’s not precognition, it’s because she is killing you but you just aren’t dying.

      @@r3dsnow757 I don't think that's entirely true... Tragedy and Comedy are definitely a more bizarre aspect of this game, and its narrative, seeing as they mainly interact with Zero through dreams or other scenarios where he can't interact with them... But I think writing them off as hallucinations is a mistake.
      Here's why.
      They most definitely have a physical presence. It's barely even referenced, but in the exchange where they prompt you to choose between life or death while you stand surrounded by the Police. One of the main officers seems frightened by Tragedy's appearance.
      "What the fuck? Get back!!"
      After this line, Zero, Tragedy, and Comedy all enter into the weird cosmos-time-stop dimension.
      Not only are they acknowledged by a police officer, whom we can assume to be more reliable than Zero, at least, but they also kill the ENTIRE SQUADRON surrounding you if you choose to live. This is referenced by your therapist in the phone call after your mission.
      "An entire fucking police squadron is dead. FOR NOTHING!"
      Zero certainly didn't kill them. At least not the last group. Chronos is a powerful drug, but I don't remember any suggestions that it could Old-Testament people out of existence.
      Symbolically, these two definitely represent the dying struggle for some form of morality within Zero's mind. But I want to re-iterate; I think writing them off as purely that, as purely symbolic, is a mistake.
      What do you think?

      1. Her interactions with V: V is real, we know that much since Zero's therapist begrudgingly acknowledges him after he kills Electrohead in the club mission (side note: this is an outcome obtained by talking with Electrohead for too long)
      he says that your organization and V "may be at odds."
      Since V is real, we can then work to the conclusion that the girl is real. She mentions that "some weird guy" asked her to make sure that you get V's snuff-tape of your neighbors' torture and execution. He wouldn't just leave the tape in the hallway, it would get yoinked by someone curious.
      2. Her interactions with Tragedy and Comedy (the guys in masks): My comment below lays out why I believe these chaps to indeed be real, so I'll just move directly to the point; The girl has seen them. She mentions that her dad's "friends" came by on the night that you come home drunk. A couple nights later, when she shows you the view of the city, she mentions that she "doesn't want the men in masks to come back," implying that her dad's "friends may in fact be Tragedy and Comedy. Not only this, but a post-credits sequence reveals them to be tormenting her.
      3.Your apartment at the end of the game: I know, this is the main basis for the argument that the girl was never real to begin with! But, there are a couple details from this sequence that lead me to believe that this sequence works to prove the girl's existence rather than disprove it. This game is very polished, every detail is purposeful and thought out, down to a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the opening sequence where a light in an apartment window flickers on after Zero kills the first henchman. My point with this little tangent is that this game doesn't skimp out on even the smallest details, and your apartment at the end of the game looks nothing like it did at the beginning. (before the girl enters the picture)
      - One of your dumbbells has inexplicably moved from the right corner of your room to near the middle
      - Your couch certainly looked cluttered and tattered before, but it certainly wasn't torn anywhere near to the degree that it is now!
      - Finally, the most noticable- a note has been left in your apartment.
      The police even mention that your apartment was broken in to, so it isn't entirely unreasonable to suggest that someone could've re-cluttered it.
      They also mention that there was a homicide next door, which they are there to investigate. It is implied that the man who was murdered may have been your psychiatrist, but that makes little to no sense, given that you murdered him in his office prior to returning to your apartment complex.
      Even if your neighbor was your psychiatrist all along, why and how would the police already know that he had been murdered? And why would they search his apartment, of all places, first, given how he was murdered in his office?
      Well... this comment turned out to be much longer than I anticipated...
      What do you think?

      @@yaboichipsahoy2760 I had similar thoughts one point 1 and 2, but what about the dream sequences? It made me question the existence of the girl and the symbolism of the two dinosaur toys.
      In the first dream sequence, a boy is playing catch with a silhouette of a girl (looks like the same little girl with pig tails). in a later version of the dream sequence, the girl in the dream turns into the toy leviathan. before the dream, you find the girl outside your apartment carrying a toy. she asks to be let into your apartment because her toy lights up when in close proximity to leviathan, so it must be in your apartment. you let her in, and sure enought you find the toy in your couch (in the final dream sequence you pick up the toy from the home, and must have kept it). in the final dream sequence, the boy is playing with the toy leviathan (that represents the girl?), you come in and kill the scientist, the boy hides under the bed, you use/destroy the machine, pick up the toy and leave. I thought the two toys that belong together represented the two children you killed. but it doesn't add up as the girl is looking for the toy that represents her and the boy did not die. any thoughts?

      @@mydude457 Yeahhh... this aspect of the story generated about the same amount of headache as a philosophy class...
      Umm... Let me start with this; I don't think the soldier from Zero's nightmares is him. I think it's the headhunter.
      For one, Fifteen is shown interacting with this soldier, and he has no clue who you are when you confront him and the headhunter in the Chinatown mission. Furthermore, Fifteen and the Headhunter seem to share a history, since they talk about "making them pay" for "what they did to us, what they made us do, etc."
      Not only that, but when you confront the Headhunter, before her second phase begins, if you ask her who she is, she'll say, "You don't recognize the uniform?" She thinks that her face/uniform would be familiar to you. She also sports the same hairstyle as the soldier from Zero's dreams.
      This may not be the case, however, because even though the hairstyle is the same, the hair color is different. The soldier's hair is black, like Zero's, while the Headhunter's hair is brown.
      There's also the issue of Zero's age. By the time that the story takes place, he is 22 (shown in his dossier at the story's conclusion). At the beginning of the final flashback, text flashes that says, "Seven years ago," meaning that at the time of the flashback, Zero would've been fifteen. I have a hard time seeing New Mecca military hiring child soldiers, but at the same time, I have a harder time picturing a fifteen year-old playing with a plastic "Leviathan" toy like the child in the flashback was.
      So, in conclusion, I believe that the soldier from the flashbacks is the Headhunter. However, this creates a bunch of logistical issues. How did Leviathan end up in Zero's apartment? If Zero was the child, how did he hear what the soldier said to his superiors via walkie-talkie? How was he able to see the soldier meeting with Fifteen?
      Like I said, massive headache.
      (Maybe we'll get clarification in a sequel? If that happens, of course.)

    Zero's story ark is memorable, I like how they explained the reasons why Null project was terminated due to massacre children, and how the secret of the Chronos serum was created to give a Null solder's super natural abilities, the game's plot show some similarity to Red Skull and the HYDRA Project that created their Serum. Fifteen and Zero are both like Captain America(U.S. Agent) and the winter soldier.

      Think about it. If the military invested time, money, and resources into a program it would be of utmost importance to have a fail safe mechanism built into the drug. The dependency of the drug ensures that the test subjects will return (for more doses), or will ensure their death upon capture or escape attempts. The only way to control an unpredictable creature (a human) is to predict what they will do with their free will.

It's more about the gameplay, exploration, world, etc. The story/lore just exists to create more depth/intrigue around the world. If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out mossbag because the hollow knight lore is very interesting imo.
