I honestly wish that the wings were white at the end like she flies away on pure white wings and the nun and all the other towns folk are like "we fucked up big time. We tried to burn a Angel. R e g r e t"
Well, if you look into Christian photos of Angel's they don't always have pure white wings. So, but that logic, she still could be an angel with black wings, it wouldn't make a difference.
*me re-watching this 6 years later* ok wow this was definitely my "hi i just discovered these cool voice effects" phase my old covers keep me up at night
I just caught something the line “long ago there lived a young witch ah yes she came too love a young prince” it’s not talking about pink haired lady it’s talking about green haired lady (miku) that would also tie up the line “ah yes she came to trick a young prince”
but it could also mean he liked her because pink haired (luka) cast a spell on him with the lyrics "she kept all the magic out of sight, how else to achieve what you feel?"
@@rubiot_wyn8343 I think it's that no one knows the truth of the story bc of how long ago it was. Stories are retold all of the time without people knowing what actually happened and different versions of the same story pop up.
While people say the ending is her using her witch powers to fly away or that she's actually a fallen angel, I think it signifies death and when it says "Take these tears, tell their story..." and when the prince takes the feather, it signifies that he is holding on to her story and will pass it down from generation to generation, hence the person in the beginning saying "...Behold such a saddening tale...". It show that they have heard the story, and is now once again passing it down to others.
i mean (i read this as i was scrolling down) apparently if u cut a witch's hair, it also weakens their bond to the devil which negates their powers so yeah she might not be a witch
Izzy The Lily oh? I've never heard of that. I read that it was common in witch hunts and trials to shave or cut a women's hair to deminish their power or to reveal any devil marks. Luka wasn't shaved but her hair being cut would fit the story of the song as well as what said.
@@keily6964 It would also keep the masses in line. Making an example of someone, especially in such a brutal fashion would deter others from stepping out of line. No one would want to meet the same fate eh?
I'm just going to say this right now: Miku might have convinced herself that Luka was a witch. She might have seen Gakupo and Luka and thought: "How can a man of his status love a girl of her status?" Remember folks, the classes weren't exactly allowed to mix in those days. So to ease her mind and to give herself closure, the jealous, and VERY religious Miku convinced herself that Luka was a witch that casted a spell over Gakupo to win his love in order to justify such a love and to justify what comes next. She tells Gakupo of this, and not he initially did not want to believe it, but Miku's status as a priestess can't make him say otherwise, since the church would be the real powerhouse of a country in that time. In order to ease his heart of watching his love burn, which he must attend as the prince, he cut her hair in order for Luka not to look like the girl he loved. Despair ridden and filled with spite that Miku filled the town with lies, Luka revealed her true form, that of an Angel or a fairy (since there are stories of mortals falling in love, and even marrying, fairies) and flies away from the town, leaving behind a single feather for Gakupo and leaving him to wonder of she'll ever come back.
@@bi-berkut9118 There was no indication that she was a witch and she didn't turn into a bird, she grew the wings on her back. Actually, going through the comments I saw some people thought Miku was a witch and Run was an angel who fell in love and went to Earth, and through hate had her wings darkened and she flew away to. The narrator sort of indicates this as they mention that their love was beyond magic. The shifting points also indicates that this through she shifting points shifting, as it is told as a story, indicating that this is a tale that has been passed down. The line "behold such a saddened tale" sounds like the story is not a good one. In addition, witches could not pray and the song mentioned that she was praying during the situation
@@miraiholmes While that's the version of the story I agree with, I don't believe it's concrete. A lot of vocaloid songs are purposefully vague so it's really up to interpretation.
I interpreted the “shouting curses” part as she was yelling out protection spells to save herself, and the townsfolk assumed that they were curses because they all thought that witches were evil. Although, I do believe that the girl could also just have been framed for being a witch because of the priestess’ jealousy, and that the black wings coming out of her back at the end were actually just a portrayal of her death.
Interesting fact for these "comment theorists" down below. The black wings are normally a sign of the grim reaper, the "angel of death", or for Lucifer, the "fallen angel".
I know I'm a year behind but it took me forever to find this song again but it is also said an angel wings black when they suffered extreme suffering or hatred and they lose the pureness they had with their white wings and only wish death to those who betrayed them
It's just a parallel story, in every song there is like another universe. Like those songs where the vocaloids die, this doesn't mean that they are dead and cannot be used anymore
My theory is that: The ‘witch’ is actually a fallen angel and the true witch is miku. Because people say “No ItS WiTcH oR rAvEn WiNgS” but I say witches don’t have wings and ravens aren’t that big and fallen angel wings are black so anyway so she was sent to judge humanity by ‘god’ and miku found out and immediately knew that the town was hunting for witches and the angel loved the same man that she did (the prince) so to keep herself from getting figured out she framed the angel who escaped in a hurry to survive and tell god on how their judgement went and by the time the prince realised that she wasn’t the witch miku was... *they were both gone...*
well to correct you in the "angel wings are black" they used to be black, then people now today decided to make it white so yes they where originally black.
You know at the end when the Prince cuts her hair and she thinks it is because he doesn't love her, I think it is the opposite. Back in old England James l released a book about how to find a witch, this sparked most of the witch hunts including the rise of witch killings especially by Mathew Hopkins. The book it says that all witches have a familiar to communicate with the devil, and a strange mark on there body that when cut won't bleed. Another thing the book says that is interesting is that witches have no shadow, live alone and can't cut there hair. Can't cut hair... What if the Prince was trying to save her life in a final attempt to prove to the people she isn't a witch. Sorry if you already new this and please correct me if any of this history is incorrect. 😀😀😀
Its wasn't that they physically couldn't cut their hair. They thought the longer a witch's hair was, the more powerful and connected to the devil she was. So cutting their hair before burning them was like taking their power away in some aspect.
While that's a good reading, I find it unlikely that the kind of Japanese people making vocaloid MV's are learned in somewhat obscure Early English Literature
cicada300 actually, I think that the different songs are made by people who might be interesting in particular things - this song has a hugely different feel from ‘Senbonzakura’ after all - but this is just a theory based on the fact that vocaloids started off as a downloadable computer program.
My interpretation: The supposed witch falls in love with the prince, but the green haired girl loves him as well. She accuses the other girl of being a witch out of jealousy. The prince does everything in his power to prove her innocence (praying, cutting her hair off). After she dies, the green haired girl changed the story up so no one would know she falsely accused her (eg. the changing line from "she came to LOVE a young prince" to "she came to TRICK a young prince"
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The nun thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch? A popular interpretation of the ending is that the girl was not a witch, but an angel whose wings were turned black from despair. The story is narrated by Kagamine Rin and Len. From vocaloid wiki
Everything you said was correct, but I don't think miku was jealous. I think she really did think she was a witch. They fell in love so quickly I guess she suspected it as witchcraft. She was trying to protect gakupo. After all, he is their prince. So yeah, I don't think Miku was jealous at all. But you might be right, that's just how I always saw it.
FUN FACT ABOUT WITCHES: back in the witch hunting era, people believed that a witch's power came from their hair, so people would cut off a witch's hair so that the witch couldn't use her magic. that's why the prince cut off her hair. 💇
No, you. The internet will eventually crush the trolls into the appropriate sized ghetto, which they will be welcome to leave at their choosing, subject to conforming to basic criteria... ok some ghettos might theoretically be fairly big... but is it really? really worth it? like really?
Three ways to know its a Vocaloid: 1. Len dies 2. Miku f'cks everything up for everyone. 3. Some Perverts stuff Goin on 4. Fangurls lay down. Dont cry. Cry Alot 5. Its a vocaloid. There u go!
Hyped Apple Len doesn't deserve this ;-; he almost always dies from being loyal to those who dun deserve it or because he's in the wrong place at the wrong god damn time or miku mainly miku miku doesn't even try but fucks everything up most of the time
So true, I was a investigator and every house I went to the person died so I called myself the angel of death in the Salem game and they tried to hang me so I had to give them all of my info
So true! Whenever I'm inno maf/sk/coven will come up with something to destroy me and the town will hang the only jailor claim cause everybody I jailed died and had the roles they claimed it my will.....ALSO SOMEBODY MADE A FAKE SHERIFF WILL WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED MAYOR IS SUSPICOUS AND FRAMER WAS DEAD AND IT WAS CLASSIC. ( I was the real sheriff in that and literally everybody thought he was inno....and yes they did lynch me but not him after they saw my role. )
What I think happened is that Luka was an angel who came down to observe humans. She then met Gakupo, who was a Prince, and they fell in love. Miku, who was a nun, saw them, and thought that Luka used her Witch powers to make Gakupo fall in love with her. She then began spreading around that Luka was a witch, and Gakupo believed her. He cut off her hair, because then she would burn quicker with less hair, and tied her to the cross. Near the end of the song, Luka finally gains the strength to break free and flies back to Heaven. Gakupo sees her leave, and realizes she was not a witch, but an angel. So yeah, I don't think Miku was jealous at all. I think she was just looking out for Gakupo, since he was their PRINCE.
You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. I always thought that hair would make it so that it'd take longer for the witch to burn, so they'd cut it off, but that makes a lot of sense too :)
i believe she isnt an angle dont angles hae white wings? not black wings?so she could be like an evil angle like in wizards of oz lol oooorr hes some demon human thing or hes a witch like the song says:/
***** last i heard witches got the powers passed down from the elders or where cursed by other witches the first witch got her powers from a magic flower.....(also witches arnt real so theres no scientific proof what any of us are saying is correct.
King Marcos aren't witches suppose be only able to do spells if there hands are free or with a circle or something so I don't think she is a witch I agree that she is an angel and turned bad at the end or maybe she was a fallen angel and that is why the nun girl thought she was evil I mean can't they sense evil or something????? or maybe I'm just completely wrong here which ever way
The Jealous Witch Theory: I think Miku was the witch and was jealous of Luka so she tricked the prince into thinking Luka was a witch when she was really an angel. (explaining why the song suggests she considered praying while she was being tied up and the appearance of wings at the very end) She used her own witchcraft to frame Luka and have her executed. It says the witch came to love the prince, explaining her jealousy. And then a similar line with a twist says the witch came to trick the prince, explaining the theory that Miku's jealousy drove her to frame Luka. The following line says she kept the magic hidden, and it shows an image of Miku walking with the prince, which could signify that he thought he could trust her when she was really lying the whole time to keep her secret and keep him to herself... (can't fit in one comment)
(continued) There is however, a line that conflicts with my theory where it says the witch cries as she is tied up, implying that the one who was tied up really is a witch. I have two possible explanations for this. Either it is because she is being treated as the witch and thus they call her one, or they consider her to be a good witch rather than an angel, while Miku is a bad witch. Then the song says that they are all fools who have been fed lies, which I believe were the accusations from Miku that Luka was a witch, and that it couldn't have been about Luka lying about not being a witch because then they would no longer be fools in that moment because she has already been "caught" or so they think, but in my theory they really are fools because they believed Miku.
(continued 2) There are also lines that say there's "no need for a magic to stop time, no spell can achieve what I feel" which I believe makes the point that Luka didn't need to do any witch-like things to earn the princes heart, because they already had true love. And mirroring that theory; the line "if my love was just a curse then I have only tears to shed" she is proclaiming that if her love was all fake because of dark magic, then her life was nothing but sad. As one final point; in the line "no god can help her find her way" she has been doomed despite being an angel because of the power of the witch Miku's dark magic which is why she gave up praying to God for help. This line could also be used to say she wasn't an angel because then God would have been with Luka, perhaps saying that she is simply a good witch rather than an angel or a bad witch.
What I think is Luka was an angel who lived in the village, soon falling in love with Gakupo, prince of the land. Luka was enjoying life in the village, not really thinking of returning to heaven. One day, a priest for the village, Miku, sees Luka with Gakupo. At the time, He and Miku were together so she assumes Luka was a witch who had cursed Gakupo to fall in love with her. Miku tells Gakupo this and He believes her. Out of anger, Gakupo cuts of Luka’s hair when she went to say hi to him. Luka was shocked and confused why Gakupo would do this. She had little time to think as she was rendered unconscious by Miku. Luka awoke tied to a cross with the entire village gathered around her. She turns her head and see’s Miku and Gakupo, just hearing them shout something out of the Bible underneath the anger filled voices of the village. She immediately You kaknew what they were doing. Miku and Gakupo were trying to rid of her using spells to kill witches. Luka starts crying, sad that her friends and lover would turn on her so quickly like that. After a while of nothing happening, Miku and Gakupo start to wonder why nothing they’re doing is working. Luka, having enough of this, reveals she is an angel, not a witch by sprouting angel wings. She returns to heaven, dropping one of her feathers. Gakupo catches it and keeps it as a reminder of how stupid he was to believe Miku.
That sounds like what happens basically but.... "A young witch came to fool a young prince" Miku is in that picture with Gakupo, not Luka, Miku is the witch that wants to have the prince and Luka is a fallen angel that was framed by Miku. And Miku wore a fake preist outfit and got the book somehow but she could've used magic to get it. That's my thought.
Good version Only it is highly likely that Miku was the actual witch Considering her silluette in the second verse A witch tricked the prince And she was with him It is actually hunger at from the very beginning that Luka was never the witch Miku was As it cuts to her face when talking about how she loved the prince And how she looked upset She was angry someone else had gotten his attention So she set her up to ba a with
My theory: Miku-Priest/Actual Witch/Girl With green hair Luka- peasant Girl/Fake Witch/Angel/Girl with Pink hair I feel as if the 'young witch' we're actually talking about is Miku. "There lived a young witch in the land . She fell in love with a prince.". This can work with either of our females within this song. Miku, disguised herself for either this song or for most of her life as a noun/priest of sorts so she'd be seen as the opposite of a witch, which would explain why the prince believed her so easily. It also explains; "There was a witch in the land. She tricked a young prince. She hid her magic. " ect ect. This also explains why when Luka is seen with the prince the lyrics show; "No spell can achieve what I feel" ect. Because, she's not the witch, no magic, so she cannot cast a spell for this. Miku saw the Prince she loved love a simple peasant girl.Miku prayed hoping they'd be friends, or it was fake, or something would happen to the young girl, which it did not.So Miku took it into her own hands , last restort to killing the young girl via burning her at the stake, and labeled as a witch. Again why the lyrics; "You fed them dirty lies" arises since Miku had done this. When this happening the Prince soon realizes whats happening, yet it's too late. As either she being Luka is an angel, or angels take her, both of these endings work. _________________________________________________________________________________________ So yes heres my theory :v
+Abbey Jones ;-; but that's what gets him all the fan girls. His devotion and care for his sister. Makes me wanna hug him so much and probably keep him in my attic unable to escape as I stroke his hair every night. The cries for freedom will be heard as they act as a lullaby for me to sleep... or, you know, something like that ^^ xD
I know she said she didn't like this song anymore because the voice effects are bad but 10 years later this is still one of my favorite covers of hers. She should 100% remake it cause I'm curious what it would sound like now. Happy 10 Years Witch Hunt!
My theory: Luka isn't truly a witch, but still not mortal. Possibly an angel of some sort. Miku is most likely a very well-respected villager that is deeply into religion. And then of course, Gakupo is a prince. Luka and Gakupo truly fall in love, no spells or curses needed, but Miku can't stand to see them together, because she wants to be with him. She accuses Luka of being a witch, not knowing if she is or not; Just trying to separate her and Gakupo. Since she's so well respected with her religious beliefs and what not, she's very convincing. She demands to put a stop to Luka witchcraft by burning her at the stake and chanting religious-related words to be rid of her and her "sins." Gakupo is obviously devastated that the women he loves may be a witch, and may have put him under some sort of spell or may have been using him, so he agrees to burning her at the stake. However, he still loves her very deeply, so he cut off her hair to be sure that she wouldn't look the same as before; To look like the women he loved. It made it easier for him to watch, imagining that it wasn't her because of the hair difference. Luka is in so much despair, wondering why her lover could agree to this. At first, she screamed and cursed all of those chanting for the flames to consume her, but then, she grew weak, and aware that they wouldn't stop. The thought of Gakupo allowing this made her even weaker, so she accepted death. She uses every last ounce of strength in her to sprout her wings, revealing what she truly was. She at least wanted Gakupo to know the truth before potentially dying. But then her wings seem to being to control themselves, which caused her to fly away, never to see her lover again. Miku is shocked, she didn't truly think Luka was anything except a mortal. The villagers were blindly leading behind Miku's claim of Luka being a witch, so they weren't as surprised. And Gakupo... Well, he went on with life, always wondering if she would return.
so what I'm getting from this is that Miku accuses Luka of being a witch due to jealousy. But is not a witch herself. Luka IS a witch, but the truth is is that witches are fallen angels. Miku probably didn't think Luka was really a witch but used that to take the prince away from her. Luka is burned at the stake, not using her powers because she wanted to live normally and if she showed her power she really would be a witch. In the end, she chooses to use her powers and escape the cruel humanity that she was probably put in charge of watching over as an angel. more on why Luka is a witch and an angel: I think this because witches in actual history were working on medicines and potions that can heal or cure. literally early drugs. angels are god's followers that possess abilities to heal and guide (maybe she approached the prince to guide him in ruling humanity well). so if Luka is a fallen angel, she might have lost that divine ability but have healing knowledge from god still. so I think Luka is a 'fallen' angel that humanity labelled as a witch. this is my theory. also, i think luka really did love the prince tho. like she may have approached him with the intent to guide him in ruling humanity but then came to love him as time went on.
Both of them are actually witches The witch that came to trick a young prince was Miku, you can clearly see that the silhouette in the second verse belongs to her
@@AugustaRaevenn Cobalt.Nethr Cosplays Not actually, Miku was a witch as you said but not Luka, she was an angel whose wings turned black out of grief for the loved prince who betrayed her.
luka is a witch and miku is a witch hunter (she has a power to sense witches so it can be claimed that she too, is a witch) miku was jealous but had no intention of killing luka as they were close friends until meiko came to luka to say goodbye. meiko was a fellow witch,, unfortunately while bidding goodbye miku was the one who heard everything meiko said. there she knew that luka too, is a witch. she was hesitant at first but it was her job
@@AugustaRaevenn I think it was to show there are different ways people prevent the story. One telling the girl was just innocent and didn't deserve such a cruel outcome and another telling she was evil and deserved everything she got.
There's no Witch pack I believe, but yeah, I have the burning at the stake death animation. But just listen to how the one being accused is talking. "You fed them dirty lies" Sounds like Mafia to me lmao.
Actually with the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts the accused that were charged with witchcraft were all sentenced/executed by hanging (and one case of execution by stone pressing). It was in European witch hunts that had burning at the stake as one of the methods of execution for someone charged with witchcraft or lycanthropy (along with other ways of execution).
After story: Escaping to a new country, Luka vows to never love anyone again. Keeping her hair short as a reminder of what love did to her, she travels around the new land. One day, she finds twin babies (Rin and Len) abandoned on the side of the road. With her angel instincts, she decides to take care of the twins. Years later, after growing to love them like her own, she finally tells them her tale of sorrow and how a jealous nun caused it all. Understanding, they tell her that they love her dearly and won't judge her like the prince did. Crying, Luka's wings turn from black back to white. Another few years later, Luka is sadly killed by Miku, who discovered Luka was alive, while protecting Rin and Len who are still children at this time. After they grow up, they get split up and Rin becomes a Princess and Len is turned into a servant. Her servant nonetheless. When Len falls in love with the "Green haired girl" and Rin finds out, she remembers of what Luka said, and demands him to kill her. It wasn't out of jealousy... It was to avenge Luka's death. This somehow makes sense to me.
I feel like this song alone could make a fandom. XD And a very nice community at that. I haven't seen anyone arguing or starting fights so far in the comments!
My ending (kinda B.S. and cheesey): when luka flew away Miku ran like hell, knowing there could be no punishment too severe for her betrayal of the prince and maiming an angel, but the prince was quicker, and grabbed her by her cowl, looked her in the eye, seeing fear as deep as the seas. The prince then grabbed her and tossed her onto the pyre where she screamed in agony, unable to escape as she could find no grip in the shifting wood fueling the fire. Meanwhile, the crowd looked at the pyre and the skies in horror, sure that God would bring a swift retribution for these acts. Soon they dispersed in fear, and the prince walked back to the castle in tears, naming himself a fool for being tricked so easily, and not realizing the true natures of the women. Later that night the prince heard wings flapping, and looked up from his notes (don't ask) and towards his window, to find a jet-black feather, too big for any bird on the windowsill... Some years passed and the prince was looking for a bride as to receive his father's throne. And as he walked through the streets, he heard a familiar voice, it sounded so much like the woman he had been tricked into betraying, that he couldn't believe his ears. He whirled around and saw her, barely different, but now instead of long, deep Carmel-colored hair, it was streaked with black lines, and she said in a voice like soft, sweet music, "well, are you going to greet me or not?" And they embraced and kissed right there for the first time in years. They later courted, married, and ruled happily together until the prince, now an old and beloved king, passed away one night in his bed asleep, next to the woman he loved so much. *THE END*
blacklight Deen447 I would prefer she found some happiness in someone who’d trust her honestly and not betray her the first moment some wench comes and spews bs without legitimate proof.
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. The witch named Lucca (Luka) and Prince Cougar (Gackpo) fall in love. A witch hunter named Michelle (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for Cougar for a long time. Michelle then tricks Lucca into revealing she's a witch. The town burns Lucca at the stake, with Cougar cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. Lucca begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and Cougar were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. I copy and paste this
I think this video could have been better if it was revealed that Miku was the actual witch, a nun of kept all her magic out of sight, and who framed and burned an innocent girl alive because of her jealousy. Virtue turned to vice. There was indeed a witch in the land who fell in love with the prince, just not the girl that was burned. She was a nun, so no spell could achieve the love which she sought, so she tricked a young prince into believing his love was a witch. In the end, she could return to her church or clergy, which would then mysteriously burn down with her trapped inside. "Penitence for your crime! Penitence and your life!" Divine retribution kind of thing. Since she was a nun, it would make sense for her to be praying, but no God would bother to help her, as the weight of the girl's death and her lies would be on her. This actual video is neat, but left me confused, which I realize is part of the point, but...eh.
They can't reveal Miku as an actual witch because shea would have to make a deal with the devil. She prayed with a cross on her hand that would've burned her or something. You can't have a witch close to the church or part of the it. She's the true witch by heart but not the actual witch. In my opinion, Luka was actually a fallen angel that betrayed God since angels can't fall in love with humans. She must've been sent to do a mission but fell in love with Gakupo. I really think Miku was jealous because of the way she stared at the two in the street and when she prayed she was crying. It couldn't just be because of pity.
+Bia Yumol so since you have named a bunch of these characters I'm gonna gonna say that this is an anime or manga. If I'm correct can you tell me what it's called? I finished watching Soul Eater and I'm back to having no anime or anything like that to watch. If I'm wrong please don't hate me☹️
So many people who see Luka as an angel. I don't. I prefer her just being a witch. Not all witches are supposed to be bad, plenty of supposed "witches" did good things. I think she was a good witch who just happened to fall in love. She gave up near the end, being forced to flee for her life.
Hails Mgee Hm..."Deluded"? I know a couple people like that. But I don't tend to get along with them because I have a low tolerance for people who seriously believe in that kind of stuff.
... Why do you think she is 'just a witch'? I'm pretty sure (Educated guess) that she revealed she was an angel, her wings were black because of the soot, at least that's how i see it.
Shimmer Star I don't have any exacts but i can tell you one thing, this song's ideals, which I've seen before to equal effect, intrige you drawing you to it time and time again. I find myself the same way.
I think the song is about a witch who fell in love with a guy. The first part of the song is her side of the story. She loves a guy, and doesn't use magic to make it happen, but the people find out she's a witch and put her at the stake. The second part of the song is the people's side of the story, where they think the witch charmed the guy into loving her. And so they put her at the stake. The end is how the girl has to reveal she is witch to escape from being burned alive, and flies away.
I just realized this song is based off of the Salem Witch Trials/The Crucible Miku is Abigail Williams Luka is Elizabeth Proctor Gakupo is John Proctor
Leigh W I think that the manga May have been a little based off of the Salem Witch Trials then Bc it sounds very extremely similar to what happened back then considering women were accused of Witchcraft for no reason even just falling in love. And one of women accused another of witchcraft after her husband had fallen in love with the women( I don’t know her name I just remember listening in to it during 6th grade History class)
Honestly people are saying that Gakupo cut off her hair for flammable purposes but your hair is the most flammable part of your body. Also I believe he sliced her hair because he couldnt stand the sight of the girl he had fallen in love with, obviously being under Miku's influence, he cut it off she that she wasn't as reconizable as this girl so that is wasn't as painful for him to watch. This isn't on any cite just my thoughts and I found it funny how the feather landed exactly how the bonnet did in his hand.
in a few myths, a witches hair was linked to her magical ability longer hair meaing more power. if we're going on this theme cutting Luka's hair would have weakened her immeasurably.
mylestoby2 Well yeah but considering the amount of Vocaloid songs about Love/Sacrifice I just came to a more meaningful conclusion on to which why he did so. But your's could be totally valid.
Le Darksided Cookie Also I believe that long hair was a sign of being an elegant, noble woman. It's like social status. So if your hair goes, it's like someone took your reputation to the city dump and threw it in there. I may be wrong, but ye.
Okay headcannon: the first person singing is a witch singing to some other witches about their friend and their fate. The other is a witchhunter trying to scare the towns people into burning witches.
A lot of people assume to think that Luka was a witch or an angel, but I tend to think a bit differently. What if she was a fallen angel? I mean from what I've read fallen angels tend to have a darker shade wings once they have "fallen". This is all just a theory so please don't hurt me!
Read this to know the truth ,,, Also known as "Witch Hunt", this song was uploaded on June 24, 2011 and is Suzuki-P's most notable song. Despite that fact that it features many other VOCALOIDs, it is marked as a Luka Original Song. The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The nun thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch? A popular interpretation of the ending is that the girl was not a witch, but an angel whose wings were turned black from despair. The story is narrated by Kagamine Rin and Len. This song has entered the Hall of Fame. It is featured on the compilation albums Vocalocluster and DEBUTANTE5. It's novelization was released 27th November 2014.
Kayla D. Or she could've really just have been a witch. We as viewers like to rationalize the purity of characters to fit our rigid definitions of what a tragedy should be like, but in the end without further information its hard to theorize about such, especially when we don't know the rules of the universe the song is set in.
Dunno about you guys, but look at Ruby from Rosario + Vampire. She grew six black crows wings that slightly resembled angels wings. What I do know from whatever I've scrounged around is that some witches could grow crows wings. I think that she was a witch and used the magic to grow wings and flew off like "FUCK Y'ALL YOU RUINED MY LIFE" But eh, that's just me. The song is fucking titled Witch Hunt anyways, I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be titled that if she were an angel of any form..
I came here for the music and I see all these people in the comments all like "Luka is obviously..!" "Miku is the real witch!" "Gakupo why?!" and I'm all like "wot .-."
+Lady de la rosa catline (ladytheunicorn) as stupid as this sounds, thank you, i never understood it... I always thought I was slowly and secretly being sucked on a weird Japanese song fandom...
I just noticed this now but it sounds like there are 3 versions of the story: ✿ ✿ ✿ ~ 1.) The sad version ~ || 0:22 - 1:14 "Behold such a _saddening_ tale" "There lived a young witch in the land- Ah yes, _she came to love_ a young prince" "No spell could achieve _what I feel"_ "Love bounding through every hour, _joy lights a new day"_ "If I _pray,_ who will hear? _I am drowning_ in their cheers" This version talks about a pitiful witch who fell in love with the prince (hinting that she loved him, but he didn't love her). The witch supposedly used magic to make him love her in return, but was then caught by the priestess and burned at the stake. The townspeople who share this version of the tale pity the witch, because she died as a consequence of loving the prince. ✿ ✿ ✿ ~ 2.) The bad version ~ || 1:32 - 2:24 "Come now, _open your eyes"_ "Those embers are the _final judge"_ "There lived a young witch in the land- Ah yes, _she came to trick_ a young prince" "She _kept all the magic out of sight"_ _"How else to achieve what you feel?"_ _"She'll_ light a new day" "Shouting _curses_ that may take away your life" This version talks about an evil witch who attempted to trick and bewitch the prince (saying that she didn't love him and that she had purely bad intentions). Using her magic, she was successful until the priestess found out and burned her at the stake. The townspeople who share this version side with the priestess and believe that the witch was pure evil. ✿ ✿ ✿ ~ 3.) The true version ~ || 3:28 - 3:57 "No spell can achieve _what we feel"_ "Love bounding through every hour, _joy lights a new day"_ "If I _pray,_ who will hear? _I am drowning_ in their cheers" This version, the true version, is what really happened. A pure-hearted girl and the prince fall in love with each other (no magic involved). The priestess, who also loved the prince, became jealous and decided to use her position to dispose of the innocent girl. She convinced everyone, including the prince, that the girl was an evil witch and attempted to burn her at the stake. With death coming near, the girl prays desperately to be saved. However, because the crowd was so loud, her words became distorted to them and they then assumed that she was casting a curse with her "witch powers." This led them to further believe that she was indeed a witch. At the very last second, her prayers were answered and angel wings sprouted out of her back, allowing her to escape. She was never seen since. Sadly, this version of the story wasn't told at all because no one knew the truth.
I play Town of Salem quite often. Whenever my role is Witch, I open up this song and play it until I die or the game ends. I just hear the 'Penitence for your crimes! Penitence and your life!' as they lynch me correctly... Oh, and the 'Come now, open your eyes' as I try to defend myself from dying... c': I love this song so much - I think the lyrics are amazing! Match the story and rhythm perfectly in my opinion ~
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. The witch named Lucca (Luka) and Prince Cougar (Gackpo) fall in love. A witch hunter named Michelle (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for Cougar for a long time. Michelle then tricks Lucca into revealing she's a witch. The town burns Lucca at the stake, with Cougar cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. Lucca begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and Cougar were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. The story is narrated by Lean and Lane (Kagamine Rin and Len).
I try to do a french version with this version so this is : Venez, dès a présent, écoutez cette triste histoire Venez, n’oubliez pas vos mouchoirs, ils vont vous servir Il était une fois, une jeune sorcière vivait là-bas Venant à aimer un jeune prince, l’histoire commença « La magie ne pourrait pas, me faire sentir comme je suis maintenant » « Mon amour résonne à travers temps, mon bonheur illumine mes jours » « Accrocher a une croix, mon regard est au ciel » « Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie » « Personne ne peut m’entendre ?

I just put the lyrics through several layers of Google Translate and ended up with this mess (feel free to say what you think): Come now, gather around Here's a boring story Come on, do not be behind your handkerchief It can keep a you well For a time, long ago, there lived a young witch in the country Oh yeah, she came to love a young prince The story tells No need for magic to stop time, No spell can reach what I feel Love bounding through each hour Joy suddenly a new He tied me tightly to the cross, I look forward to the sky Expiation of the crime! Reflection and life! If I pray, who will listen? I'm drowning in their cheers Devotion turned to dusty tombs If my love is just curse, I will only shed tears Repentance for your crime! However, repent of your life? Let it light, let it burn bright, and with him all his resentment Now feel the weight of death and soon Come now, open your eyes looking at the flames in the sky Come now, do not forget that these jokes are the final judges Once, long ago, a young witch lived on earth Ah, yes, she came to trick a young prince So the story goes She kept all the magic out of sight How else to achieve what you feel? Love burning the final hour He'll light a new day Hear the witch cries louder when she tied to her eyes Repent of your guilt! Punishment and your life! Just before shouting abuse that can take your life Virtue you can not continue to switch to taste If my love is just a curse then I only have tears to throw We will do what we need! Let it all become dust! Let the light, let it burn bright we only do what is right There is a hand to help him find his way Can not believe all the fools I see! You fed them filthy lies! Repentance for your crime! Repentance and your life! Searing flames rise higher as the sun begins to make Feel the weight of death now and soon There is no need for a magic time, magic can not achieve what we feel Love ran through every hour Joy light of new day Firmly tied me cross, I look at the sky longing Regret for your crime! Repentance and your life! If you pray to me, whom I am told? I'm drowning in their cheers Devotion approached the dusty tombs If my love was just a curse when I only have tears to shed Repent for your crime! Penitence and your life! Let it light up, to burn bright despite choke all of you! No God can help her find her way! As flame burning bloody red and tearing into sky Penitence for the crime! Penance and your life! Take these tears, tell their story and do not forget to cry Feel dead and lying
I'm just imagining this is what happened: Gakupo: Alright alright what's going on? Miku: Luka's a witch! Gakupo: A witch? How can you be sure? Miku: She turned me into a newt! Gakupo: .....a _newt?_ Miku: ......Well I got better!
I loved Miku... I HATE HER WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DO THAT!!!UGHHH... But at the final scene it seems that the prince still loved her without any spells on him.
What if the story is actually quite different than we actually thought? I've never heard this theory before: There was once a young wizard(Gakupo) deceiving a village as a young prince. Enraged by the thought of the dark wizard doing such a thing, a young Angel (Luka) was sent to fight against him. However, the Angel and the Wizard quickly fell in love - however, the priestess (Miku) whom had known of Luka's job was astonished that the Angel would disobey her Gob, and so, she decides that only one thing must be done; the Angel must be killed before she can turn into a Witch, and Miku asks God for forgiveness for what she may do. The Wizard, however, is unwilling, but wanting, to reveal his cover. In the end, the Angel returns to Heaven, now tainted by the Wizard, whom realizes that he truly loves her.
Took me a second watch to notice the witch flew away at the end. For me, some of Juby's songs never sound good the first time around, but when you listen to it a SECOND time, then I'm hooked. America wasn't the best with supernatural stuff like that at the time. "she's a witch, we'll burn her. If she lives, she's a witch, if she doesn't, she was human, and will she'll be a dead corpse." smart.
Turns out this song actually has a novel. Lucca is indeed a witch who fell in love with Cougar (Gakupo). Michelle is a witch hunter who accused Lucca of being a witch because she had harbored feelings for Cougar, and came to the conclusion that only with magic could Cougar have fallen for Lucca.
I actually think miku is the witch because at 1:48 they sing about a young witch who tricked the prince. So I think the witch is miku disguised as a nun, and she tricked the prince into think luka was the real witch! So that could explain that part of the song. That's just my thoughts on it anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts! :)
I think that after Miku did that, she immediately regretted what she had done. She was praying to god to forgive her, but she knew no god could forgive what she did. She promised to never do the same thing ever again.
She loved and that was called a crime. When they tried to burn her, when the final moment came, the wings came out and she was taken away, recognized as good while those who went after her while screeching their warped idea of justice were left as the evil ones who attempted to murder an angel.
my personal theory- miku is the witch, obviously-the beginning (when len is singing), it’s meant to lead the viewer into thinking of miku’s own point of view; luka being the witch, and inherently, her being evil. luka is a human girl, the appearance of angel wings signifying her death (gakupo is surprised to see her die in the end). luka dies due to miku’s own desires involving the prince, leading him to burning her at a stake. he has her hair because they believed that a witch’s power came from her hair, and cutting it would save them. in reality, luka was a human girl, and miku’s own desire caused the tragedy to occur.
want to know what would be funny? if she was a angel, and yelled before she sprouted wings "I CURSE YOUR RELIGION! I AM A ANGEL! YOU WILL ALL BURN IN HELL!" and flew off XD then everyone realises, they just tried to burn a angel, after cutting off her hair! LOL
*slaps torch away with magic* now why would, I, a witch, say a worthless amount of words just to someone you don't know. its the devil you should trust >:3
demi-lee mullins *Uses freaking awesome witch powers to get you down* RUN SISTER WITCHY! RUN BEFORE THEY GET THAT STUPID TORCH BURNING AGAIN!!! *Takes off like the devil's on my heels*
Yeah, not like he was brainwashed or anything. Shame he wasn’t immune to a literal witch. What a horrible man. The witch OBVIOUSLY has nothing to do with it. He TOTALLY doesn’t want his people safe or anything. (Most Sarcastic Voice you can make.)
No, I think the most common answer is that he was to fast when it comes to sudden conclusion, and isntead of finding evidence if her sudden lover was guilty of witchcraft he isntead burn her alive like "welp if the priest tell me, that the love of my life is a witch I would totally trust, I mean is not like she is lying only because she feels jealous of her or anything, right?." Yeah, my dude was way to sudden.
I think the story goes like this? A girl and a prince fall in love. A nun who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The priest thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. But that will mean she is a witch... uhmmm
or the girl was an angel the whole time. cause black wings are the wings from an angel of death ( at least as far as I know). or she just dies wishing to take revenge against the prince and the nun? or the whole church?
i this that she was a which the whole time but wasnt evil and in the end god decided she shouldnt be burned and helped her escape by turning her into a simi angle (i think this due to the "no god can help her find her way" and it happened)
I'm starting as a freshman next year and for the past 5 years I've been phasing in and out of the vocaloid community. During my in phases I can honestly say this place has impacted me and my life a lot. This might be one of the last times I listen to it for another while. This realized song made me sad and nostalgic.. I'll be dropping back to this comment every once and a while to look back and check on things.. Pinky promise :)
Wait..."I look longing at the sky"...mortal peril...sudden wing sprouting...GASP! OH MY GOD! LUKA'S NOT A WITCH AFTER ALL! SHE'S A +ANIMA! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE IT BEFORE!
F Naoun +Anima is a person who gains an animal ability (wings, fins/gills, claws, etc.) after or during a brush with death. They're from this awesome manga series called "+Anima" which I HIGHLY recommend!
I can’t help but wonder if this song is connected the “The story of evil”. The lady in red here fell in love with a prince of purple. A maiden in green loved him. But the prince in purple was in love with the lady in red. So the lady in green lied saying she was a witch to get her out of the way so she could have the prince in purple all to her self. At the end of this song, the lady in red flys away. Maybe to the kingdom where a 14 year old princess rules the land and fells in love again and this time he loves her back. They were happy until the 14 year old princess killed him for speaking against her. That’s 2 loves she had taken away from her. Meanwhile, because of her lies, the prince of purple dislikes the maiden in green and want nothing to do with her. So she moves on and finds the kingdom of green where she meets the prince of blue. For those of you that know the story of evil, I’d think you know what happens after that. Just a theory. And not a game theory XD
YES HELLO PERSON WHO IS ACTUALLY AMAZING AT ANALYZING THINGS HERE! Okay so lets start off with the fact that Luka in the beginning was not actually a witch (for those who thought she was. Okay she sort of was but like it's) she was a girl who fell in love with the prince (and the prince fell in love with her.) They were happy and in love except one problem....MIKU (who I am pretty sure was priestess or highly religious girl) was also in love with the prince. And Miku is JEALOUS because the prince loved Luka. So WHAT does she do to make this not happen anymore? SHE GOES TO THE PRINCE WITH SOME FLYER OF A WOMAN THAT LOOKS *_VAGUELY_* LIKE LUKA AND TELLS HIM SHE'S A WITCH AND HE'S REALLY DISTRAUGHT BUT HE HAS TO ARREST HER BECAUSE APPARENTLY FLYERS WITH WOMEN WHO LOOK VAGUELY LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS EVIDENCE ENOUGH. And some other stuff. And so he arrests her and cuts off her hair (not to burn slowly because I'm gonna tell you right now...he _loves_ her way to much in this you can tell) to break the spell (which I'm assuming doesn't break because IT WASNT EVEN THERE!) And whats happening to Luka during this? _Terror. Fear. What's happening?_ Feelings you'd get when the person you love so deeply believes you're a witch and arrests you and puts you up on the stake. You can see it in her eyes as Gakupo (the prince. Yes I know I'm _finally_ using his name) cuts her hair. And now Gakupo isn't the only one to feel betrayed. So now she's at the stake and by then everyone hears she's a witch and they're screaming at her to repent. Shouting how she'll never find her way again. Getting excited for her to burn and Luka is like "NO! I'M NOT A WITCH! HOW DARE YOU! YOU BETRAYED ME! I'M NOT A WITCH" Gakupo is there and during the lyrics that say _"If that love was just a curse, then I have only tears to cry"_ and I actually think this coming from Luka. In this sense of like how could you believe the love we shared was only a curse. Only a spell. And that she can only cry. Only feel anguish and pain. And then we have the lyrics that say _"Can't believe all the fools I see! You fed them dirty lies!"_ She's calling the people and the prince fools. But she's talking to Miku this time. Calling her out on what she did. The lies she spread. And by now the flames are getting bigger and bigger and the lyrics come _"No need for a magic to stop time, no spell can achieve what we feel"_ _ "Love bounding through every hour joy lights a new day "_ Here Luka is saying basically "I didn't need magic to make you love me. I didn't need a spell. Our love was real. OUR LOVE WAS PURE." And now we focus on Luka and now she feels hopeless. And most of all she feels anger. Anger at Miku for spreading lies. Anger at Gakupo for believing them. Anger at the people who rally with out thought or reason only because of rumors. She feels so much anger, so much anguish, so much pain. And then she sprouts black wings. Here's where some of you may have gotten confused assuming that the black meant she turned evil. That is not the case. If you look at her face you can see what these wing really represent. Anguish. Pain. And most of all *_Despair_*. Despair that no one believes her. Despair that she was betrayed. And so the wings sprout showing her emotions. And then she escapes. She doesn't actually die. She ascends. She becomes more than a girl on the stake. (_sorry if it's still pretty confusing I got tired by the end_)
Pancake Killer Well... No. She killed miku because she wanted her one and only special master. Miku tried doing the same, but couldn't because Luka kept *acting* like a sweet sister. So it wasn't because of that.
Ok everyone here's this one The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The priest thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch? There u go
I see a lot of theories and ideas for this song, and its video. Here's my theory, for anyone who's interested in it: They all knew she was a witch. What if she had admitted it to the prince, explained how it works, and he accepted that. perhaps he convinced her to talk to the jealous one, and she wasn't convinced? The witch had already admitted her craft, so the jealous chick would've probably just told the rest out of town. If that was the case, I think it likely she would've also convinced the prince that he had been enchanted/cursed, when it wasn't the case. Since he believed it to be the case, however, he would've confirmed the towns folk's fears, and charged her with treason and witchcraft, which is, by Christian standards, a double sin of Pride and Greed/ whatever else, as determined by situation. The last part of the video is open to interpretation, as follows: 1. The wings she grows is an allusion to her death, the black color representing her bitterness and resentment. 2. The wings she grew were a result of a spell, and her bitterness and resentment tainted the magic she cast, turning them black. It's open to anyone whether she survived, and fled the town, died in the fire, or escaped, and eventually died of her wounds. Since she grow wings, I think its entirely possible she was an Animagus, a Witch specializing in the magic of animal work(where we see the idea of familiars...) Meaning that its likely she wouldn't have been able to enchant him anyway. Which means, whether she lives or dies, it was all for naught, which is REALLY depressing. Anyway, feel free to agree, or argue. I happen to be pagan, so I ask we PLEASE leave belief systems out of a philosophical debate. At least this on. Well met, and merry part!
Possible, however I don't believe the ending would have been this complicated. I'm sure we would have seen the cliche'd "I'm your guardian angel" conversation. Either way, both theories are fairly sound, and frankly, quite popular. I guess you should simply believe what you want about it.
Wow... I must admit, I wasn't expecting this level of rationality, considering the video. I have to say that I appreciate it. Seriously, its a nice break from arguing with insensitive folk.
So here’s my theory of all of this cause I like connecting videos. I think this is after the song alluring secret. After Rin dies, Miku drops her title and moves to a nunnery to atone for her sins. She notices the prince and Luka and immediately feels like somethings off. She realizes that she is in fact a fallen angel, and feels bad for the prince because she was in the same situation. She prays to God and finds that the only way to save the prince is to accuse Luka as a witch. Luka then reveals she is a fallen angel. At the end, Luka leaves the same black feather as Rin did. Also in the beginning you see Luka wearing white, just like Rin is In the beginning of alluring secret, but then is spotted in black/grey clothing when being with the prince. You can even use the cutting hair as transforming Luka into her original form as the male angel. I’m just saying🤷🏼♀️
Don't worry,your voice is just as nice,I believe.Even though I haven't heard it before. My voice will always be more horrible than yours :) and I agree that Juby's voice is absolutely GORGEOUS! Juby I envy you,even though my friends say that my voice is nice and I am like, "Don't talk nonsense."
This was the first vocaloid song i heard, (it was this cover by Jubyphonic) and its been a while since then. Juby you got me through some tough times, thanks!
I honestly wish that the wings were white at the end like she flies away on pure white wings and the nun and all the other towns folk are like "we fucked up big time. We tried to burn a Angel. R e g r e t"
Chīsanatori this is honestly my favorite comment on here
Well, if you look into Christian photos of Angel's they don't always have pure white wings. So, but that logic, she still could be an angel with black wings, it wouldn't make a difference.

Ah, that's a wonderful idea!! :D
I don't think it's bad, it's a good cover
I just caught something the line “long ago there lived a young witch ah yes she came too love a young prince” it’s not talking about pink haired lady it’s talking about green haired lady (miku) that would also tie up the line “ah yes she came to trick a young prince”
RemixTheGames OH MY GOSH
but it could also mean he liked her because pink haired (luka) cast a spell on him with the lyrics "she kept all the magic out of sight, how else to achieve what you feel?"
but it said "so the story goes" for both lines ?
@@rubiot_wyn8343 I think it's that no one knows the truth of the story bc of how long ago it was. Stories are retold all of the time without people knowing what actually happened and different versions of the same story pop up.
which means its up for interpretation which also means we can tell theories of what the story might've been and share our ideas ;D
While people say the ending is her using her witch powers to fly away or that she's actually a fallen angel, I think it signifies death and when it says "Take these tears, tell their story..." and when the prince takes the feather, it signifies that he is holding on to her story and will pass it down from generation to generation, hence the person in the beginning saying "...Behold such a saddening tale...". It show that they have heard the story, and is now once again passing it down to others.
What a beautiful interpretation, my friend.
So it symbolizes her spirit/soul?
Shadow4 Cat yes
i mean (i read this as i was scrolling down) apparently if u cut a witch's hair, it also weakens their bond to the devil which negates their powers so yeah she might not be a witch
when did it ever say or show that miku (green haired girl) was the witch
if you wondered why her hair was cut, its because people used to believe witches power came with their hair, hence why he cut it.
Oh thx, I had always think that it becuase the prince want to make a memento LOL
Maybe hair was something precious? I don't know I mean that's what I think because why else would the prince keep his hair that long xD
No it was to shame them women were not allowed to cut her hair
Izzy The Lily oh? I've never heard of that. I read that it was common in witch hunts and trials to shave or cut a women's hair to deminish their power or to reveal any devil marks. Luka wasn't shaved but her hair being cut would fit the story of the song as well as what said.
It was difficult to grow long beautiful hair back then especially if you were a peasant due to lack of a proper diet.

Lowkeyyy
*throws cloth at everyone*
Magic!
*lifts blanked over my head and runs*
I'm just going to say this right now: Miku might have convinced herself that Luka was a witch. She might have seen Gakupo and Luka and thought: "How can a man of his status love a girl of her status?" Remember folks, the classes weren't exactly allowed to mix in those days. So to ease her mind and to give herself closure, the jealous, and VERY religious Miku convinced herself that Luka was a witch that casted a spell over Gakupo to win his love in order to justify such a love and to justify what comes next. She tells Gakupo of this, and not he initially did not want to believe it, but Miku's status as a priestess can't make him say otherwise, since the church would be the real powerhouse of a country in that time. In order to ease his heart of watching his love burn, which he must attend as the prince, he cut her hair in order for Luka not to look like the girl he loved. Despair ridden and filled with spite that Miku filled the town with lies, Luka revealed her true form, that of an Angel or a fairy (since there are stories of mortals falling in love, and even marrying, fairies) and flies away from the town, leaving behind a single feather for Gakupo and leaving him to wonder of she'll ever come back.
Destiny Acedo actually it was angel not fairy
Also the haircut thing is just a standard thing. People believe that hair is a witch's source of power, so they cut it off to weaken them.
"Witches and sorcerers were believed to have the ability to transform themselves into ravens and fly away, thus enabling them to evade capture."
Ummm.........she was an angel that had black wings because of extreme negative emotions after being betrayed
@@miraiholmes source?
@@bi-berkut9118 There was no indication that she was a witch and she didn't turn into a bird, she grew the wings on her back. Actually, going through the comments I saw some people thought Miku was a witch and Run was an angel who fell in love and went to Earth, and through hate had her wings darkened and she flew away to. The narrator sort of indicates this as they mention that their love was beyond magic. The shifting points also indicates that this through she shifting points shifting, as it is told as a story, indicating that this is a tale that has been passed down. The line "behold such a saddened tale" sounds like the story is not a good one. In addition, witches could not pray and the song mentioned that she was praying during the situation
@@miraiholmes While that's the version of the story I agree with, I don't believe it's concrete. A lot of vocaloid songs are purposefully vague so it's really up to interpretation.
@@miraiholmes so thats just all an assumption basically but its a pretty good theory

Agnes Nutter...sorta. more like with nails and gunpowder
I interpreted the “shouting curses” part as she was yelling out protection spells to save herself, and the townsfolk assumed that they were curses because they all thought that witches were evil.
Although, I do believe that the girl could also just have been framed for being a witch because of the priestess’ jealousy, and that the black wings coming out of her back at the end were actually just a portrayal of her death.
@@orangeismyfavoritecolor Damn that's dark... I don't want to think about that!
@@aqullya Yeah lol, but vocaloid does tend to be a darker genre of music
Interesting fact for these "comment theorists" down below. The black wings are normally a sign of the grim reaper, the "angel of death", or for Lucifer, the "fallen angel".
Yeah your right I heard of that Alex keister
I know I'm a year behind but it took me forever to find this song again but it is also said an angel wings black when they suffered extreme suffering or hatred and they lose the pureness they had with their white wings and only wish death to those who betrayed them
Or they are a fallen angel
there was a line about "no god to help her find her way". This would imply she was forsaken
not necessarily angels of the old testiment had wings of all sorts of colors
Its quite funny how miku tries to kill luka when at concerts there dancing together happily like nothing ever happened
LMAOOOOOO yeah XDD
It's just a parallel story, in every song there is like another universe. Like those songs where the vocaloids die, this doesn't mean that they are dead and cannot be used anymore
That's show business for you
@@simcard867 I just gotta say this-
Pretty sure they know that, it's a joke lmaoo 😅
in magnet theyre also lovers so XD
My theory is that:
The ‘witch’ is actually a fallen angel and the true witch is miku. Because people say “No ItS WiTcH oR rAvEn WiNgS” but I say witches don’t have wings and ravens aren’t that big and fallen angel wings are black so anyway so she was sent to judge humanity by ‘god’ and miku found out and immediately knew that the town was hunting for witches and the angel loved the same man that she did (the prince) so to keep herself from getting figured out she framed the angel who escaped in a hurry to survive and tell god on how their judgement went and by the time the prince realised that she wasn’t the witch miku was...
*they were both gone...*
Umm actually witches hates cross and the christ of god so miku is not a witch
judge humanity? not tryna be rude but like ain't that jesus job ? If this is because on christanity.
@@veicwnder7209 By that logic, Luka isn't a witch either.
I mean, still burn the fallen angel. because fallen angels are demons.
well to correct you in the "angel wings are black" they used to be black, then people now today decided to make it white so yes they where originally black.
You know at the end when the Prince cuts her hair and she thinks it is because he doesn't love her, I think it is the opposite.
Back in old England James l released a book about how to find a witch, this sparked most of the witch hunts including the rise of witch killings especially by Mathew Hopkins.
The book it says that all witches have a familiar to communicate with the devil, and a strange mark on there body that when cut won't bleed. Another thing the book says that is interesting is that witches have no shadow, live alone and can't cut there hair. Can't cut hair... What if the Prince was trying to save her life in a final attempt to prove to the people she isn't a witch.
Sorry if you already new this and please correct me if any of this history is incorrect. 😀😀😀
That was also just a thing they did. They always cut a witch's hair before they burned her.
Its wasn't that they physically couldn't cut their hair. They thought the longer a witch's hair was, the more powerful and connected to the devil she was. So cutting their hair before burning them was like taking their power away in some aspect.
I feel bad for Luka. Isn't Miku the evil witch here?
While that's a good reading, I find it unlikely that the kind of Japanese people making vocaloid MV's are learned in somewhat obscure Early English Literature
cicada300 actually, I think that the different songs are made by people who might be interesting in particular things - this song has a hugely different feel from ‘Senbonzakura’ after all - but this is just a theory based on the fact that vocaloids started off as a downloadable computer program.
My interpretation:
The supposed witch falls in love with the prince, but the green haired girl loves him as well. She accuses the other girl of being a witch out of jealousy. The prince does everything in his power to prove her innocence (praying, cutting her hair off). After she dies, the green haired girl changed the story up so no one would know she falsely accused her (eg. the changing line from "she came to LOVE a young prince" to "she came to TRICK a young prince"
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The nun thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch?
A popular interpretation of the ending is that the girl was not a witch, but an angel whose wings were turned black from despair.
The story is narrated by Kagamine Rin and Len.
From vocaloid wiki
My mind.....is blow.
Everything you said was correct, but I don't think miku was jealous. I think she really did think she was a witch. They fell in love so quickly I guess she suspected it as witchcraft. She was trying to protect gakupo. After all, he is their prince. So yeah, I don't think Miku was jealous at all. But you might be right, that's just how I always saw it.

At least Len isn't the one dying this time.
FUN FACT ABOUT WITCHES: back in the witch hunting era, people believed that a witch's power came from their hair, so people would cut off a witch's hair so that the witch couldn't use her magic.
that's why the prince cut off her hair. 💇
It’s also said that a witches hair couldn’t be cut, so he may have been trying to prove she wasn’t a witch.

Elizabeth Chan I can’t really remember the name but I’m pretty sure it’s town of salem
What I think happened is that Luka was an angel who came down to observe humans. She then met Gakupo, who was a Prince, and they fell in love. Miku, who was a nun, saw them, and thought that Luka used her Witch powers to make Gakupo fall in love with her. She then began spreading around that Luka was a witch, and Gakupo believed her.
He cut off her hair, because then she would burn quicker with less hair, and tied her to the cross. Near the end of the song, Luka finally gains the strength to break free and flies back to Heaven. Gakupo sees her leave, and realizes she was not a witch, but an angel.
So yeah, I don't think Miku was jealous at all. I think she was just looking out for Gakupo, since he was their PRINCE.
You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. I always thought that hair would make it so that it'd take longer for the witch to burn, so they'd cut it off, but that makes a lot of sense too :)
that does make since ^_^
i believe she isnt an angle dont angles hae white wings? not black wings?so she could be like an evil angle like in wizards of oz lol oooorr hes some demon human thing or hes a witch like the song says:/
*****
last i heard witches got the powers passed down from the elders or where cursed by other witches the first witch got her powers from a magic flower.....(also witches arnt real so theres no scientific proof what any of us are saying is correct.
King Marcos aren't witches suppose be only able to do spells if there hands are free or with a circle or something so I don't think she is a witch I agree that she is an angel and turned bad at the end or maybe she was a fallen angel and that is why the nun girl thought she was evil I mean can't they sense evil or something????? or maybe I'm just completely wrong here which ever way
Everything was all fine and dandy .....Then Miku showed up...
c a n i d i e y e t 😂
That's how it always works. Look at the song Francium. i think that explains the issue in its entirety.
Miku: Did I do that?????
Miku always fuck shit up.
She ruins everything
*ALMOST--*
The Jealous Witch Theory:
I think Miku was the witch and was jealous of Luka so she tricked the prince into thinking Luka was a witch when she was really an angel. (explaining why the song suggests she considered praying while she was being tied up and the appearance of wings at the very end) She used her own witchcraft to frame Luka and have her executed. It says the witch came to love the prince, explaining her jealousy. And then a similar line with a twist says the witch came to trick the prince, explaining the theory that Miku's jealousy drove her to frame Luka. The following line says she kept the magic hidden, and it shows an image of Miku walking with the prince, which could signify that he thought he could trust her when she was really lying the whole time to keep her secret and keep him to herself... (can't fit in one comment)
(continued) There is however, a line that conflicts with my theory where it says the witch cries as she is tied up, implying that the one who was tied up really is a witch. I have two possible explanations for this. Either it is because she is being treated as the witch and thus they call her one, or they consider her to be a good witch rather than an angel, while Miku is a bad witch. Then the song says that they are all fools who have been fed lies, which I believe were the accusations from Miku that Luka was a witch, and that it couldn't have been about Luka lying about not being a witch because then they would no longer be fools in that moment because she has already been "caught" or so they think, but in my theory they really are fools because they believed Miku.
(continued 2) There are also lines that say there's "no need for a magic to stop time, no spell can achieve what I feel" which I believe makes the point that Luka didn't need to do any witch-like things to earn the princes heart, because they already had true love. And mirroring that theory; the line "if my love was just a curse then I have only tears to shed" she is proclaiming that if her love was all fake because of dark magic, then her life was nothing but sad. As one final point; in the line "no god can help her find her way" she has been doomed despite being an angel because of the power of the witch Miku's dark magic which is why she gave up praying to God for help. This line could also be used to say she wasn't an angel because then God would have been with Luka, perhaps saying that she is simply a good witch rather than an angel or a bad witch.
how did you catch all of that info 😲But I agree with you're theory😄
how did you catch all of that info 😲But I agree with you're theory😄
Then how were her wings black???
What I think is Luka was an angel who lived in the village, soon falling in love with Gakupo, prince of the land. Luka was enjoying life in the village, not really thinking of returning to heaven. One day, a priest for the village, Miku, sees Luka with Gakupo. At the time, He and Miku were together so she assumes Luka was a witch who had cursed Gakupo to fall in love with her. Miku tells Gakupo this and He believes her. Out of anger, Gakupo cuts of Luka’s hair when she went to say hi to him. Luka was shocked and confused why Gakupo would do this. She had little time to think as she was rendered unconscious by Miku. Luka awoke tied to a cross with the entire village gathered around her. She turns her head and see’s Miku and Gakupo, just hearing them shout something out of the Bible underneath the anger filled voices of the village. She immediately
You kaknew what they were doing. Miku and Gakupo were trying to rid of her using spells to kill witches. Luka starts crying, sad that her friends and lover would turn on her so quickly like that. After a while of nothing happening, Miku and Gakupo start to wonder why nothing they’re doing is working. Luka, having enough of this, reveals she is an angel, not a witch by sprouting angel wings. She returns to heaven, dropping one of her feathers. Gakupo catches it and keeps it as a reminder of how stupid he was to believe Miku.
That sounds like what happens basically but.... "A young witch came to fool a young prince" Miku is in that picture with Gakupo, not Luka, Miku is the witch that wants to have the prince and Luka is a fallen angel that was framed by Miku. And Miku wore a fake preist outfit and got the book somehow but she could've used magic to get it. That's my thought.
Good version
Only it is highly likely that Miku was the actual witch
Considering her silluette in the second verse
A witch tricked the prince
And she was with him
It is actually hunger at from the very beginning that Luka was never the witch
Miku was
As it cuts to her face when talking about how she loved the prince
And how she looked upset
She was angry someone else had gotten his attention
So she set her up to ba a with
@@Sushiii8 I believe Miku was always a priest
To keep her profile as a witch very low
Needs to be a fan fiction
400th like
My theory:
Miku-Priest/Actual Witch/Girl With green hair
Luka- peasant Girl/Fake Witch/Angel/Girl with Pink hair
I feel as if the 'young witch' we're actually talking about is Miku. "There lived a young witch in the land . She fell in love with a prince.". This can work with either of our females within this song. Miku, disguised herself for either this song or for most of her life as a noun/priest of sorts so she'd be seen as the opposite of a witch, which would explain why the prince believed her so easily. It also explains; "There was a witch in the land. She tricked a young prince. She hid her magic. " ect ect.
This also explains why when Luka is seen with the prince the lyrics show;
"No spell can achieve what I feel" ect. Because, she's not the witch, no magic, so she cannot cast a spell for this.
Miku saw the Prince she loved love a simple peasant girl.Miku prayed hoping they'd be friends, or it was fake, or something would happen to the young girl, which it did not.So Miku took it into her own hands , last restort to killing the young girl via burning her at the stake, and labeled as a witch.
Again why the lyrics; "You fed them dirty lies" arises since Miku had done this.
When this happening the Prince soon realizes whats happening, yet it's too late. As either she being Luka is an angel, or angels take her, both of these endings work.

Happy 10 Years Witch Hunt!
I agree. Out of all of the vocaloid songs this is one of the few I actually go out of my way to listen to. She did a great job.
@@hura19 I know :)
My theory:
Luka isn't truly a witch, but still not mortal. Possibly an angel of some sort. Miku is most likely a very well-respected villager that is deeply into religion. And then of course, Gakupo is a prince.
Luka and Gakupo truly fall in love, no spells or curses needed, but Miku can't stand to see them together, because she wants to be with him. She accuses Luka of being a witch, not knowing if she is or not; Just trying to separate her and Gakupo. Since she's so well respected with her religious beliefs and what not, she's very convincing.
She demands to put a stop to Luka witchcraft by burning her at the stake and chanting religious-related words to be rid of her and her "sins." Gakupo is obviously devastated that the women he loves may be a witch, and may have put him under some sort of spell or may have been using him, so he agrees to burning her at the stake. However, he still loves her very deeply, so he cut off her hair to be sure that she wouldn't look the same as before; To look like the women he loved. It made it easier for him to watch, imagining that it wasn't her because of the hair difference.
Luka is in so much despair, wondering why her lover could agree to this. At first, she screamed and cursed all of those chanting for the flames to consume her, but then, she grew weak, and aware that they wouldn't stop. The thought of Gakupo allowing this made her even weaker, so she accepted death.
She uses every last ounce of strength in her to sprout her wings, revealing what she truly was. She at least wanted Gakupo to know the truth before potentially dying. But then her wings seem to being to control themselves, which caused her to fly away, never to see her lover again.
Miku is shocked, she didn't truly think Luka was anything except a mortal. The villagers were blindly leading behind Miku's claim of Luka being a witch, so they weren't as surprised. And Gakupo... Well, he went on with life, always wondering if she would return.
Its just a song based of the Salem period
+Emily Buccella It does have a back story,though.
+Emily Buccella that was my fav time to read about🙂🙂
I mean the Salem witch trials
I agree with u!
so what I'm getting from this is that Miku accuses Luka of being a witch due to jealousy. But is not a witch herself. Luka IS a witch, but the truth is is that witches are fallen angels. Miku probably didn't think Luka was really a witch but used that to take the prince away from her. Luka is burned at the stake, not using her powers because she wanted to live normally and if she showed her power she really would be a witch. In the end, she chooses to use her powers and escape the cruel humanity that she was probably put in charge of watching over as an angel.
more on why Luka is a witch and an angel:
I think this because witches in actual history were working on medicines and potions that can heal or cure. literally early drugs. angels are god's followers that possess abilities to heal and guide (maybe she approached the prince to guide him in ruling humanity well). so if Luka is a fallen angel, she might have lost that divine ability but have healing knowledge from god still. so I think Luka is a 'fallen' angel that humanity labelled as a witch.
this is my theory. also, i think luka really did love the prince tho. like she may have approached him with the intent to guide him in ruling humanity but then came to love him as time went on.
I like the way you think.
Both of them are actually witches
The witch that came to trick a young prince was Miku, you can clearly see that the silhouette in the second verse belongs to her
@@AugustaRaevenn Cobalt.Nethr Cosplays
Not actually, Miku was a witch as you said but not Luka, she was an angel whose wings turned black out of grief for the loved prince who betrayed her.
luka is a witch and miku is a witch hunter (she has a power to sense witches so it can be claimed that she too, is a witch) miku was jealous but had no intention of killing luka as they were close friends until meiko came to luka to say goodbye. meiko was a fellow witch,, unfortunately while bidding goodbye miku was the one who heard everything meiko said. there she knew that luka too, is a witch. she was hesitant at first but it was her job
@@AugustaRaevenn I think it was to show there are different ways people prevent the story. One telling the girl was just innocent and didn't deserve such a cruel outcome and another telling she was evil and deserved everything she got.
Town of Salem, anyone?
Seriously this is like every time somebody gets voted up to the stand.
so true
Nobody was burned at the stake in Salem thou. It was all hangings.
Unless they had the burning at stake death animation, which I think came with the Witch pack thing.
There's no Witch pack I believe, but yeah, I have the burning at the stake death animation. But just listen to how the one being accused is talking. "You fed them dirty lies" Sounds like Mafia to me lmao.
YEAH!! :DDDD
“Did you hear that scream?”
“Oh, it’s just a witch burning at the stake.”
“Ah, okay. Nothing to worry about, then.”
- The Salem Witch Trials
Actually with the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts the accused that were charged with witchcraft were all sentenced/executed by hanging (and one case of execution by stone pressing).
It was in European witch hunts that had burning at the stake as one of the methods of execution for someone charged with witchcraft or lycanthropy (along with other ways of execution).

After story: Escaping to a new country, Luka vows to never love anyone again. Keeping her hair short as a reminder of what love did to her, she travels around the new land. One day, she finds twin babies (Rin and Len) abandoned on the side of the road. With her angel instincts, she decides to take care of the twins.
Years later, after growing to love them like her own, she finally tells them her tale of sorrow and how a jealous nun caused it all. Understanding, they tell her that they love her dearly and won't judge her like the prince did. Crying, Luka's wings turn from black back to white.
Another few years later, Luka is sadly killed by Miku, who discovered Luka was alive, while protecting Rin and Len who are still children at this time. After they grow up, they get split up and Rin becomes a Princess and Len is turned into a servant. Her servant nonetheless. When Len falls in love with the "Green haired girl" and Rin finds out, she remembers of what Luka said, and demands him to kill her. It wasn't out of jealousy... It was to avenge Luka's death.
This somehow makes sense to me.

I was thinking the same thing!! 😱😱😱
My ending (kinda B.S. and cheesey): when luka flew away Miku ran like hell, knowing there could be no punishment too severe for her betrayal of the prince and maiming an angel, but the prince was quicker, and grabbed her by her cowl, looked her in the eye, seeing fear as deep as the seas. The prince then grabbed her and tossed her onto the pyre where she screamed in agony, unable to escape as she could find no grip in the shifting wood fueling the fire. Meanwhile, the crowd looked at the pyre and the skies in horror, sure that God would bring a swift retribution for these acts. Soon they dispersed in fear, and the prince walked back to the castle in tears, naming himself a fool for being tricked so easily, and not realizing the true natures of the women.
Later that night the prince heard wings flapping, and looked up from his notes (don't ask) and towards his window, to find a jet-black feather, too big for any bird on the windowsill...
Some years passed and the prince was looking for a bride as to receive his father's throne. And as he walked through the streets, he heard a familiar voice, it sounded so much like the woman he had been tricked into betraying, that he couldn't believe his ears. He whirled around and saw her, barely different, but now instead of long, deep Carmel-colored hair, it was streaked with black lines, and she said in a voice like soft, sweet music, "well, are you going to greet me or not?" And they embraced and kissed right there for the first time in years.
They later courted, married, and ruled happily together until the prince, now an old and beloved king, passed away one night in his bed asleep, next to the woman he loved so much.
*THE END*

The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. The witch named Lucca (Luka) and Prince Cougar (Gackpo) fall in love. A witch hunter named Michelle (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for Cougar for a long time. Michelle then tricks Lucca into revealing she's a witch. The town burns Lucca at the stake, with Cougar cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. Lucca begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and Cougar were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night.
I copy and paste this
what anime
Hungray *facepalm* the plot of the story
this seems the most realisic
I thought she was actually an angel.
+Sonia Nevermind someone says shes an angel but were not sure it says vocaloid wikia
I think this video could have been better if it was revealed that Miku was the actual witch, a nun of kept all her magic out of sight, and who framed and burned an innocent girl alive because of her jealousy. Virtue turned to vice. There was indeed a witch in the land who fell in love with the prince, just not the girl that was burned. She was a nun, so no spell could achieve the love which she sought, so she tricked a young prince into believing his love was a witch.
In the end, she could return to her church or clergy, which would then mysteriously burn down with her trapped inside. "Penitence for your crime! Penitence and your life!" Divine retribution kind of thing. Since she was a nun, it would make sense for her to be praying, but no God would bother to help her, as the weight of the girl's death and her lies would be on her.
This actual video is neat, but left me confused, which I realize is part of the point, but...eh.
They can't reveal Miku as an actual witch because shea would have to make a deal with the devil. She prayed with a cross on her hand that would've burned her or something. You can't have a witch close to the church or part of the it. She's the true witch by heart but not the actual witch. In my opinion, Luka was actually a fallen angel that betrayed God since angels can't fall in love with humans. She must've been sent to do a mission but fell in love with Gakupo. I really think Miku was jealous because of the way she stared at the two in the street and when she prayed she was crying. It couldn't just be because of pity.
+Bia Yumol you make it sound like black vow
Mikayla GRAY yeah I got some of it from black vow thought about it myself.
+Bia Yumol so since you have named a bunch of these characters I'm gonna gonna say that this is an anime or manga. If I'm correct can you tell me what it's called? I finished watching Soul Eater and I'm back to having no anime or anything like that to watch. If I'm wrong please don't hate me☹️
WarHorseFilly They are not from an anime or manga - at least not an official one. They are called Vocaloids and are synthesized voices.
So many people who see Luka as an angel. I don't. I prefer her just being a witch. Not all witches are supposed to be bad, plenty of supposed "witches" did good things. I think she was a good witch who just happened to fall in love. She gave up near the end, being forced to flee for her life.
Same
yeah~ I have a friend who's a "witch" and she's so funny and nice but she's kinda.. not rude but kinda idk how ot put it =3=
Hails Mgee Hm..."Deluded"?
I know a couple people like that. But I don't tend to get along with them because I have a low tolerance for people who seriously believe in that kind of stuff.
Damian Freeman I guess deluded could work :/
... Why do you think she is 'just a witch'? I'm pretty sure (Educated guess) that she revealed she was an angel, her wings were black because of the soot, at least that's how i see it.
I love how vocaloid tells storys that can become a 2 hours movie In 4-6 minutes
Why am I obsessed with this song. As well as Game of Life. SO GOOD MAN.
Shimmer Star this one and game of life are my favorite songs of hers!!!
Shimmer Star Same man, same.
Shimmer Star My friend is making a 1 hour version of the game of life :3
Shimmer Star I don't have any exacts but i can tell you one thing, this song's ideals, which I've seen before to equal effect, intrige you drawing you to it time and time again. I find myself the same way.
same
Miku, you almost killed luka for kaitos love and now you want gakupo too!? leave a man for luka ;-; leave luka alone
:'(
@@Catrainnah :'c
Poor luka
I think the song is about a witch who fell in love with a guy. The first part of the song is her side of the story. She loves a guy, and doesn't use magic to make it happen, but the people find out she's a witch and put her at the stake. The second part of the song is the people's side of the story, where they think the witch charmed the guy into loving her. And so they put her at the stake. The end is how the girl has to reveal she is witch to escape from being burned alive, and flies away.
LemurG np
I just realized this song is based off of the Salem Witch Trials/The Crucible
Miku is Abigail Williams
Luka is Elizabeth Proctor
Gakupo is John Proctor
Leigh W I think that the manga May have been a little based off of the Salem Witch Trials then Bc it sounds very extremely similar to what happened back then considering women were accused of Witchcraft for no reason even just falling in love. And one of women accused another of witchcraft after her husband had fallen in love with the women( I don’t know her name I just remember listening in to it during 6th grade History class)
@Leigh L-M What's the manga?
This is why Miku always gets the best stuff,she fucks Luka up.
look at scissoroid
I'm thinking she wasn't a witch at all. She was an angel. Sent to earth to judge humanity.
Well in that case humanity is doomed.
Esslan Vesslan Yup. They fucked up.
Blackrose Revan Shame on you Miku... Shame on you...
Esslan Vesslan Yeah. And the prince too.
Oh sweetie,Humanity
Was doomed For a long
Time before.Luka just made it worse XD
Honestly people are saying that Gakupo cut off her hair for flammable purposes but your hair is the most flammable part of your body.
Also I believe he sliced her hair because he couldnt stand the sight of the girl he had fallen in love with, obviously being under Miku's influence, he cut it off she that she wasn't as reconizable as this girl so that is wasn't as painful for him to watch.
This isn't on any cite just my thoughts and I found it funny how the feather landed exactly how the bonnet did in his hand.
in a few myths, a witches hair was linked to her magical ability longer hair meaing more power. if we're going on this theme cutting Luka's hair would have weakened her immeasurably.
mylestoby2 Well yeah but considering the amount of Vocaloid songs about Love/Sacrifice I just came to a more meaningful conclusion on to which why he did so. But your's could be totally valid.
Le Darksided Cookie Also I believe that long hair was a sign of being an elegant, noble woman. It's like social status. So if your hair goes, it's like someone took your reputation to the city dump and threw it in there. I may be wrong, but ye.
Trirage The long hair thing is just for the ladies.
Trirage wait you didn't know that about men? :P
Okay headcannon: the first person singing is a witch singing to some other witches about their friend and their fate. The other is a witchhunter trying to scare the towns people into burning witches.
A lot of people assume to think that Luka was a witch or an angel, but I tend to think a bit differently. What if she was a fallen angel? I mean from what I've read fallen angels tend to have a darker shade wings once they have "fallen". This is all just a theory so please don't hurt me!
Kayla Dechkampu That's what I think too!!!!!!!!
Read this to know the truth ,,,
Also known as "Witch Hunt", this song was uploaded on June 24, 2011 and is Suzuki-P's most notable song. Despite that fact that it features many other VOCALOIDs, it is marked as a Luka Original Song.
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The nun thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch?
A popular interpretation of the ending is that the girl was not a witch, but an angel whose wings were turned black from despair.
The story is narrated by Kagamine Rin and Len.
This song has entered the Hall of Fame. It is featured on the compilation albums Vocalocluster and DEBUTANTE5.
It's novelization was released 27th November 2014.
Kayla D. Or she could've really just have been a witch.
We as viewers like to rationalize the purity of characters to fit our rigid definitions of what a tragedy should be like, but in the end without further information its hard to theorize about such, especially when we don't know the rules of the universe the song is set in.
THE SONG LITERALLY SAID she was a witch o.o
Dunno about you guys, but look at Ruby from Rosario + Vampire. She grew six black crows wings that slightly resembled angels wings. What I do know from whatever I've scrounged around is that some witches could grow crows wings. I think that she was a witch and used the magic to grow wings and flew off like "FUCK Y'ALL YOU RUINED MY LIFE"
But eh, that's just me. The song is fucking titled Witch Hunt anyways, I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be titled that if she were an angel of any form..
Damn.. it's been 3-4 years now.. my first ever Juby song ;_;
***** My gawsh o-o Yes?
Same
I believe mine was Game of
life then i fell in love
same I found it on a I pod
the Huntress 95 I found this video when I fell in love with someone even though I have a boyfriend
I came here for the music and I see all these people in the comments all like "Luka is obviously..!" "Miku is the real witch!" "Gakupo why?!" and I'm all like "wot .-."
Lady de la rosa catline Yeah, I know about vocaloid, I just haven't looked too much into it, thanks!
+Lady de la rosa catline (ladytheunicorn) as stupid as this sounds, thank you, i never understood it...
I always thought I was slowly and secretly being sucked on a weird Japanese song fandom...
I just noticed this now but it sounds like there are 3 versions of the story:
✿ ✿ ✿
~ 1.) The sad version ~ || 0:22 - 1:14
"Behold such a _saddening_ tale"
"There lived a young witch in the land- Ah yes, _she came to love_ a young prince"
"No spell could achieve _what I feel"_
"Love bounding through every hour, _joy lights a new day"_
"If I _pray,_ who will hear? _I am drowning_ in their cheers"
This version talks about a pitiful witch who fell in love with the prince (hinting that she loved him, but he didn't love her). The witch supposedly used magic to make him love her in return, but was then caught by the priestess and burned at the stake. The townspeople who share this version of the tale pity the witch, because she died as a consequence of loving the prince.
✿ ✿ ✿
~ 2.) The bad version ~ || 1:32 - 2:24
"Come now, _open your eyes"_
"Those embers are the _final judge"_
"There lived a young witch in the land- Ah yes, _she came to trick_ a young prince"
"She _kept all the magic out of sight"_
_"How else to achieve what you feel?"_
_"She'll_ light a new day"
"Shouting _curses_ that may take away your life"
This version talks about an evil witch who attempted to trick and bewitch the prince (saying that she didn't love him and that she had purely bad intentions). Using her magic, she was successful until the priestess found out and burned her at the stake. The townspeople who share this version side with the priestess and believe that the witch was pure evil.
✿ ✿ ✿
~ 3.) The true version ~ || 3:28 - 3:57
"No spell can achieve _what we feel"_
"Love bounding through every hour, _joy lights a new day"_
"If I _pray,_ who will hear? _I am drowning_ in their cheers"
This version, the true version, is what really happened. A pure-hearted girl and the prince fall in love with each other (no magic involved). The priestess, who also loved the prince, became jealous and decided to use her position to dispose of the innocent girl. She convinced everyone, including the prince, that the girl was an evil witch and attempted to burn her at the stake.
With death coming near, the girl prays desperately to be saved. However, because the crowd was so loud, her words became distorted to them and they then assumed that she was casting a curse with her "witch powers." This led them to further believe that she was indeed a witch. At the very last second, her prayers were answered and angel wings sprouted out of her back, allowing her to escape. She was never seen since. Sadly, this version of the story wasn't told at all because no one knew the truth.
I play Town of Salem quite often. Whenever my role is Witch, I open up this song and play it until I die or the game ends. I just hear the 'Penitence for your crimes! Penitence and your life!' as they lynch me correctly... Oh, and the 'Come now, open your eyes' as I try to defend myself from dying... c':
I love this song so much - I think the lyrics are amazing! Match the story and rhythm perfectly in my opinion ~
I'm really bad at that game XD The only time I won a game and had a hand in it, was when I was an Escort...
I love this game^^ But never won with a Witch so far...
I love that game! I just found it out when I saw these comments and I played it. I haven't won with witch yet.
That game is so fun! We ever there's a witch my friends and I sing this song from the top of our lungs :)
I was rarely the witch..but when I am, I always get killed the first few nights.
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. The witch named Lucca (Luka) and Prince Cougar (Gackpo) fall in love. A witch hunter named Michelle (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for Cougar for a long time. Michelle then tricks Lucca into revealing she's a witch. The town burns Lucca at the stake, with Cougar cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. Lucca begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and Cougar were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night.
The story is narrated by Lean and Lane (Kagamine Rin and Len).
Amber Lee i love luka
Kuro Uzumaki Luka is my Favorite Vocaloid
Amber Lee yay
Kuro Uzumaki I like Rin and Len , Gumi , Lily , Sonika , Gakupo , Miku
But my favorite is luka
I try to do a french version with this version so this is :
Venez, dès a présent, écoutez cette triste histoire
Venez, n’oubliez pas vos mouchoirs, ils vont vous servir
Il était une fois, une jeune sorcière vivait là-bas
Venant à aimer un jeune prince, l’histoire commença
« La magie ne pourrait pas, me faire sentir comme je suis maintenant »
« Mon amour résonne à travers temps, mon bonheur illumine mes jours »
« Accrocher a une croix, mon regard est au ciel »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Personne ne peut m’entendre ? Je me noie sous leurs cries »
« Les tombe abritent la dévotion »
« Si mon amour était maudit alors je ne peux que pleurer »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Allumez, brûlez-tout avec tout votre dépit »
« Ressens le poids de la mort »
Venez, ouvrez les yeux, vers les flammes dansantes du ciel
Venez, n’oubliez pas que ces braises sont les juges finales
Il était une fois, une jeune sorcière vivait là-bas
Venant à piéger un jeune prince, l’histoire commença
« Elle utilise la magie secrètement, comment cela peut se passer autrement ? »
« Cet amour en ai venu à sa dernière heure, elle allumera un nouveau jour »
« Ecoutez la sorcière pleurer plus fort, comme attachée à ses yeux »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Avant de criait des malédictions qui peuvent vous tuer »
« Ta vertu est devenue ton vice »
« Si mon amour était maudit alors je ne peux que pleurer »
« Nous faisons notre devoir, poussière tu retourneras »
« Allumons, brulons-tout nous faisons juste ce qui est juste »
« Aucune main pour la guider »
« Je ne peux croire tous ces imbéciles, nourris de mensonges malsains »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Pendant que le soleil meurt les flammes continuent de s’élever »
« Ressens le poids de la mort »
« La magie ne pourrait pas, me faire sentir comme je suis maintenant »
« notre amour résonne à travers temps, notre bonheur illumine nos jours »
« Accrocher à une croix, mon regard est au ciel »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Personne ne peut m’entendre ? Je me noie sous leurs cries »
« Les tombe abritent la dévotion »
« Si mon amour était maudit alors je ne peux que pleurer »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Allume, brule-tout et étouffe ton dépit »
« Aucun dieu ne peut l’aider »
« Comme une flamme brûlant du sang pourpre et des pleurs dans le ciel »
« Pénitence pour ton crime, pénitence pour ta vie »
« Prenez-les, racontez cette histoire sans oublier de pleurer »
« Ressens les mensonges et la mort »
Please be indulgent it’s the first time that I do this x3
ps : WoW it's take me 2 hours to make this I have school tomorrow x,3 (When I upload it, it's 22:35 for me :3)
I just put the lyrics through several layers of Google Translate and ended up with this mess (feel free to say what you think):
Come now, gather around
Here's a boring story
Come on, do not be behind your handkerchief
It can keep a you well
For a time, long ago, there lived a young witch in the country
Oh yeah, she came to love a young prince
The story tells
No need for magic to stop time, No spell can reach what I feel
Love bounding through each hour
Joy suddenly a new
He tied me tightly to the cross, I look forward to the sky
Expiation of the crime!
Reflection and life!
If I pray, who will listen?
I'm drowning in their cheers
Devotion turned to dusty tombs
If my love is just curse, I will only shed tears
Repentance for your crime!
However, repent of your life?
Let it light, let it burn bright, and with him all his resentment
Now feel the weight of death and soon
Come now, open your eyes looking at the flames in the sky
Come now, do not forget that these jokes are the final judges
Once, long ago, a young witch lived on earth
Ah, yes, she came to trick a young prince
So the story goes
She kept all the magic out of sight
How else to achieve what you feel?
Love burning the final hour
He'll light a new day
Hear the witch cries louder when she tied to her eyes
Repent of your guilt!
Punishment and your life!
Just before shouting abuse that can take your life
Virtue you can not continue to switch to taste
If my love is just a curse then I only have tears to throw
We will do what we need!
Let it all become dust!
Let the light, let it burn bright we only do what is right
There is a hand to help him find his way
Can not believe all the fools I see!
You fed them filthy lies!
Repentance for your crime!
Repentance and your life!
Searing flames rise higher as the sun begins to make
Feel the weight of death now and soon
There is no need for a magic time, magic can not achieve what we feel
Love ran through every hour
Joy light of new day
Firmly tied me cross, I look at the sky longing
Regret for your crime!
Repentance and your life!
If you pray to me, whom I am told?
I'm drowning in their cheers
Devotion approached the dusty tombs
If my love was just a curse when I only have tears to shed
Repent for your crime!
Penitence and your life!
Let it light up, to burn bright despite choke all of you!
No God can help her find her way!
As flame burning bloody red and tearing into sky
Penitence for the crime!
Penance and your life!
Take these tears, tell their story and do not forget to cry
Feel dead and lying
Yeah, apparently putting a serious song like this through Google Translate can mess up the lyrics and skewer their original meaning
It sounds so much funnier though
Yandere Alchemist
Good job Google!!!!
You have failed me
I just feel like in every music video every time a boy is with someone besides miku then it's all mikus fault they die or cry
Dungunwhaa miku might be bad luck
Dungunwhaa ReAct is the complete opposite 😂😂
Maybe miku's yandere...
And then the ship Luka x Miku was born, meaning Miku became bisexual and now has all the men and women at her feet XD
well... *plays "daughter of evil" video and leaves slowly
I'm just imagining this is what happened:
Gakupo: Alright alright what's going on?
Miku: Luka's a witch!
Gakupo: A witch? How can you be sure?
Miku: She turned me into a newt!
Gakupo: .....a _newt?_
Miku: ......Well I got better!
XDDDD You made my day. I loved that movie
+Tei “Whoreo for Len-kun” Kagamine Nobody in my school has seen it and it's one of my favorite movies!
you are the reason i love youtube
Lol that's from Monty python and the Holy grail 4th annaversary
+Tei “Whoreo for Len-kun” Kagamine Ahahaha, love that joke.
I loved Miku... I HATE HER WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DO THAT!!!UGHHH... But at the final scene it seems that the prince still loved her without any spells on him.
She was an Angel not a Witch
Ayano Aishi hi Yan-Chan
With a lover like that, who needs enemies? He never loved her cuz he never trusted her.
"Joy lights a new day... tied me tight to a cross, I look longing at the sky!" Well that escalated quickley.
People be like: *theorizes about the witch thing*
Me: *trying to sing along with Juby*
What if the story is actually quite different than we actually thought? I've never heard this theory before:
There was once a young wizard(Gakupo) deceiving a village as a young prince. Enraged by the thought of the dark wizard doing such a thing, a young Angel (Luka) was sent to fight against him. However, the Angel and the Wizard quickly fell in love - however, the priestess (Miku) whom had known of Luka's job was astonished that the Angel would disobey her Gob, and so, she decides that only one thing must be done; the Angel must be killed before she can turn into a Witch, and Miku asks God for forgiveness for what she may do. The Wizard, however, is unwilling, but wanting, to reveal his cover. In the end, the Angel returns to Heaven, now tainted by the Wizard, whom realizes that he truly loves her.
Took me a second watch to notice the witch flew away at the end. For me, some of Juby's songs never sound good the first time around, but when you listen to it a SECOND time, then I'm hooked. America wasn't the best with supernatural stuff like that at the time. "she's a witch, we'll burn her. If she lives, she's a witch, if she doesn't, she was human, and will she'll be a dead corpse." smart.
Crap....if only I had watched it 3 times >.
I agree, except for the fact America isnt old enough to have been in the witch craze.
Well, y'know, colonies :/
And here we see, 'Is it Hetalia or Real Freakin Life?'
What are you talking about? The Salem Witch Trials did actually happen.
Turns out this song actually has a novel. Lucca is indeed a witch who fell in love with Cougar (Gakupo). Michelle is a witch hunter who accused Lucca of being a witch because she had harbored feelings for Cougar, and came to the conclusion that only with magic could Cougar have fallen for Lucca.
I actually think miku is the witch because at 1:48 they sing about a young witch who tricked the prince. So I think the witch is miku disguised as a nun, and she tricked the prince into think luka was the real witch! So that could explain that part of the song. That's just my thoughts on it anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts! :)
I think that after Miku did that, she immediately regretted what she had done.
She was praying to god to forgive her, but she knew no god could forgive what she did.
She promised to never do the same thing ever again.
She loved and that was called a crime.
When they tried to burn her, when the final moment came, the wings came out and she was taken away, recognized as good while those who went after her while screeching their warped idea of justice were left as the evil ones who attempted to murder an angel.
my personal theory-
miku is the witch, obviously-the beginning (when len is singing), it’s meant to lead the viewer into thinking of miku’s own point of view; luka being the witch, and inherently, her being evil. luka is a human girl, the appearance of angel wings signifying her death (gakupo is surprised to see her die in the end). luka dies due to miku’s own desires involving the prince, leading him to burning her at a stake. he has her hair because they believed that a witch’s power came from her hair, and cutting it would save them. in reality, luka was a human girl, and miku’s own desire caused the tragedy to occur.
That was So Beautiful!
Your voice is So Pretty!
want to know what would be funny? if she was a angel, and yelled before she sprouted wings "I CURSE YOUR RELIGION! I AM A ANGEL! YOU WILL ALL BURN IN HELL!" and flew off XD then everyone realises, they just tried to burn a angel, after cutting off her hair! LOL
imagine you were doing a card trick and someone just says HEY HEY GUYS. IT'S A WITCH KILL'EM. KILL IT WITH FIRE
Pick a card, any - HOLY CRAP! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE! D:
Haleigh Van Guard
JERRY I KNOW I STOLE YOUR WATCH BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN STAY IM A WITCH AND FRIGGIN BURN ME!!!
*slaps torch away with magic* now why would, I, a witch, say a worthless amount of words just to someone you don't know. its the devil you should trust >:3
demi-lee mullins *Uses freaking awesome witch powers to get you down* RUN SISTER WITCHY! RUN BEFORE THEY GET THAT STUPID TORCH BURNING AGAIN!!! *Takes off like the devil's on my heels*
demi-lee mullins Im not worthless >.< i luv magic >3
Hmmm....
*Sees the prince cut off the girl's hair*
Yeah, she's too good for you.😒
???
Yeah, not like he was brainwashed or anything. Shame he wasn’t immune to a literal witch. What a horrible man. The witch OBVIOUSLY has nothing to do with it. He TOTALLY doesn’t want his people safe or anything.
(Most Sarcastic Voice you can make.)
Hexa Swift no that was to prove she's not a witch. Supposedly you can't cut off a witchs hair.
No, I think the most common answer is that he was to fast when it comes to sudden conclusion, and isntead of finding evidence if her sudden lover was guilty of witchcraft he isntead burn her alive like "welp if the priest tell me, that the love of my life is a witch I would totally trust, I mean is not like she is lying only because she feels jealous of her or anything, right?."
Yeah, my dude was way to sudden.
No, because her hair was too long
I feel like she only called her a "witch" to say what they thought she was. But really was just an angel
Okay I usually hate when people dub these songs but I love this one you're awesome!
I think the story goes like this?
A girl and a prince fall in love. A nun who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The priest thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. But that will mean she is a witch... uhmmm
Maybe she dies and was taken to heaven by angel's?
or the girl was an angel the whole time. cause black wings are the wings from an angel of death ( at least as far as I know). or she just dies wishing to take revenge against the prince and the nun? or the whole church?
i this that she was a which the whole time but wasnt evil and in the end god decided she shouldnt be burned and helped her escape by turning her into a simi angle (i think this due to the "no god can help her find her way" and it happened)
Waiting to see who will realize it's based on something...no spoilers tho srry
Fai RuneK
Isn't this based off of the Salem witch trials?
I'm starting as a freshman next year and for the past 5 years I've been phasing in and out of the vocaloid community. During my in phases I can honestly say this place has impacted me and my life a lot. This might be one of the last times I listen to it for another while. This realized song made me sad and nostalgic.. I'll be dropping back to this comment every once and a while to look back and check on things.. Pinky promise :)
I wish you luck uwu!!
lol wanna listen to it once more?
@@epoch2844 oh my god i’m back here again.

This is literally the best Vocaloid cover I've ever heard. Congratulations.

F Naoun
+Anima is a person who gains an animal ability (wings, fins/gills, claws, etc.) after or during a brush with death.
They're from this awesome manga series called "+Anima" which I HIGHLY recommend!
I can’t help but wonder if this song is connected the “The story of evil”.
The lady in red here fell in love with a prince of purple. A maiden in green loved him. But the prince in purple was in love with the lady in red. So the lady in green lied saying she was a witch to get her out of the way so she could have the prince in purple all to her self. At the end of this song, the lady in red flys away. Maybe to the kingdom where a 14 year old princess rules the land and fells in love again and this time he loves her back. They were happy until the 14 year old princess killed him for speaking against her. That’s 2 loves she had taken away from her. Meanwhile, because of her lies, the prince of purple dislikes the maiden in green and want nothing to do with her. So she moves on and finds the kingdom of green where she meets the prince of blue.
For those of you that know the story of evil, I’d think you know what happens after that. Just a theory. And not a game theory XD
Nope
Ommmmmmggg that makes alot of sense
nah, sorry to pop your bubble, but this is a COMPLETELY different story.
IT'S NOT. This is false. If you want the true entire story, then read Evillious Chronicles and listen to a the songs.
Meiko is the lady in red, not Luka.
Miku always seems to ruin things
And Len always seems to die
Caßey Chu that was like I think
thus is the way of the universe
YES HELLO PERSON WHO IS ACTUALLY AMAZING AT ANALYZING THINGS HERE!
Okay so lets start off with the fact that Luka in the beginning was not actually a witch (for those who thought she was. Okay she sort of was but like it's) she was a girl who fell in love with the prince (and the prince fell in love with her.) They were happy and in love except one problem....MIKU (who I am pretty sure was priestess or highly religious girl) was also in love with the prince.
And Miku is JEALOUS because the prince loved Luka. So WHAT does she do to make this not happen anymore? SHE GOES TO THE PRINCE WITH SOME FLYER OF A WOMAN THAT LOOKS *_VAGUELY_* LIKE LUKA AND TELLS HIM SHE'S A WITCH AND HE'S REALLY DISTRAUGHT BUT HE HAS TO ARREST HER BECAUSE APPARENTLY FLYERS WITH WOMEN WHO LOOK VAGUELY LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS EVIDENCE ENOUGH. And some other stuff.
And so he arrests her and cuts off her hair (not to burn slowly because I'm gonna tell you right now...he _loves_ her way to much in this you can tell) to break the spell (which I'm assuming doesn't break because IT WASNT EVEN THERE!)
And whats happening to Luka during this? _Terror. Fear. What's happening?_ Feelings you'd get when the person you love so deeply believes you're a witch and arrests you and puts you up on the stake. You can see it in her eyes as Gakupo (the prince. Yes I know I'm _finally_ using his name) cuts her hair. And now Gakupo isn't the only one to feel betrayed.
So now she's at the stake and by then everyone hears she's a witch and they're screaming at her to repent. Shouting how she'll never find her way again. Getting excited for her to burn and Luka is like "NO! I'M NOT A WITCH! HOW DARE YOU! YOU BETRAYED ME! I'M NOT A WITCH"
Gakupo is there and during the lyrics that say _"If that love was just a curse, then I have only tears to cry"_ and I actually think this coming from Luka. In this sense of like how could you believe the love we shared was only a curse. Only a spell. And that she can only cry. Only feel anguish and pain.
And then we have the lyrics that say _"Can't believe all the fools I see! You fed them dirty lies!"_ She's calling the people and the prince fools. But she's talking to Miku this time. Calling her out on what she did. The lies she spread.
And by now the flames are getting bigger and bigger and the lyrics come _"No need for a magic to stop time, no spell can achieve what we feel"_ _ "Love bounding through every hour joy lights a new day "_
Here Luka is saying basically "I didn't need magic to make you love me. I didn't need a spell. Our love was real. OUR LOVE WAS PURE."
And now we focus on Luka and now she feels hopeless. And most of all she feels anger. Anger at Miku for spreading lies. Anger at Gakupo for believing them. Anger at the people who rally with out thought or reason only because of rumors. She feels so much anger, so much anguish, so much pain. And then she sprouts black wings.
Here's where some of you may have gotten confused assuming that the black meant she turned evil. That is not the case. If you look at her face you can see what these wing really represent. Anguish. Pain. And most of all *_Despair_*.
Despair that no one believes her. Despair that she was betrayed. And so the wings sprout showing her emotions.
And then she escapes. She doesn't actually die. She ascends. She becomes more than a girl on the stake.
(_sorry if it's still pretty confusing I got tired by the end_)
2 years later and I'm still crying.
This actually sounds better than the original.
I can't stop watching it.
same!!!!!!!!!
Nia Sohma same tho
Someone: (has a stroke and says gibberish)
Everyone: *WITCH CRAFT*
Now in modern day, Luka gets revenge on Miku with "scissorloid"
NICE
wait what?
_* BEAUTIFUL._
it's like "BITCH, YOUR ANCESTOR BLAMED MINE AS A WITCH! GO TO HELL!"
Pancake Killer Well... No. She killed miku because she wanted her one and only special master. Miku tried doing the same, but couldn't because Luka kept *acting* like a sweet sister. So it wasn't because of that.
Ok everyone here's this one
The song tells the sad tale of a prince and a witch. A girl (Luka) and a prince (Gackpo) fall in love. A nun (Miku) who sees the couple together grows jealous, as she has harbored her love for the prince for a long time. The priest thinks that the girl must have used black magic to have the prince fall in love with her and declares her a witch. The prince, a member of the church, reluctantly believes the nun. The town burns the girl at the stake, with the prince cutting her long hair and tying her to the stake. The girl begins to cry and reflects on the time when she and the prince were happy together. She then grows black wings and breaks free of the rope tied around her, flying off into the night. That leaves the question… was the nun right in thinking the girl was a witch?
There u go
+Joselyn Rivera No flippin' way; that nun was nuts!
+Risë Hickey Thats what I said when I read it
She was a witch just not a bad one. Miku had convinced herself that Luka had cast a spell on the prince.
I see a lot of theories and ideas for this song, and its video. Here's my theory, for anyone who's interested in it: They all knew she was a witch. What if she had admitted it to the prince, explained how it works, and he accepted that. perhaps he convinced her to talk to the jealous one, and she wasn't convinced? The witch had already admitted her craft, so the jealous chick would've probably just told the rest out of town. If that was the case, I think it likely she would've also convinced the prince that he had been enchanted/cursed, when it wasn't the case. Since he believed it to be the case, however, he would've confirmed the towns folk's fears, and charged her with treason and witchcraft, which is, by Christian standards, a double sin of Pride and Greed/ whatever else, as determined by situation. The last part of the video is open to interpretation, as follows: 1. The wings she grows is an allusion to her death, the black color representing her bitterness and resentment. 2. The wings she grew were a result of a spell, and her bitterness and resentment tainted the magic she cast, turning them black. It's open to anyone whether she survived, and fled the town, died in the fire, or escaped, and eventually died of her wounds. Since she grow wings, I think its entirely possible she was an Animagus, a Witch specializing in the magic of animal work(where we see the idea of familiars...) Meaning that its likely she wouldn't have been able to enchant him anyway. Which means, whether she lives or dies, it was all for naught, which is REALLY depressing. Anyway, feel free to agree, or argue. I happen to be pagan, so I ask we PLEASE leave belief systems out of a philosophical debate. At least this on. Well met, and merry part!
What if she was an angel instead, who was there to cure Miku of her jealousy problems?
Possible, however I don't believe the ending would have been this complicated. I'm sure we would have seen the cliche'd "I'm your guardian angel" conversation. Either way, both theories are fairly sound, and frankly, quite popular. I guess you should simply believe what you want about it.
+Chris Wedemann Certainly. That it's up for interpretation is part of this songs charm!
Wow... I must admit, I wasn't expecting this level of rationality, considering the video. I have to say that I appreciate it. Seriously, its a nice break from arguing with insensitive folk.
***** ?
I've learnt more about history in a five minute vocaloid than in all my history lessons combined!
I love his face in the end when he realizes what he's done. Pure regret. Can't believe this is still so good so many years later.
*Like a flame, bursting bloody red and tearing through the sky, the witch sprouted wings, blackened with the sin of those around her.*
anyone realized this bass line is really good
Imagine what people in the Middle Ages could have thought when seeing us doing supercomplex mathematics at such a young age.
So here’s my theory of all of this cause I like connecting videos. I think this is after the song alluring secret. After Rin dies, Miku drops her title and moves to a nunnery to atone for her sins. She notices the prince and Luka and immediately feels like somethings off. She realizes that she is in fact a fallen angel, and feels bad for the prince because she was in the same situation. She prays to God and finds that the only way to save the prince is to accuse Luka as a witch. Luka then reveals she is a fallen angel. At the end, Luka leaves the same black feather as Rin did. Also in the beginning you see Luka wearing white, just like Rin is In the beginning of alluring secret, but then is spotted in black/grey clothing when being with the prince. You can even use the cutting hair as transforming Luka into her original form as the male angel. I’m just saying🤷🏼♀️
It's so annoying to think people would sentence someone to death for being different.
Fear is a hell of a motivator.
YOUR VOICE IS JUST SOOOO GOOD ...and mine is just.....
Whenever I sing, my voice just made the end of the world . _.
Don't worry,your voice is just as nice,I believe.Even though I haven't heard it before. My voice will always be more horrible than yours :) and I agree that Juby's voice is absolutely GORGEOUS! Juby I envy you,even though my friends say that my voice is nice and I am like, "Don't talk nonsense."
This was the first vocaloid song i heard, (it was this cover by Jubyphonic) and its been a while since then. Juby you got me through some tough times, thanks!
