@Lexa&! What's the BGM in the conclusion section?
@@kendonl.taylor5111 Aboveground Urban Area A [SMT IV]
Not a fan of death game Mangas or animes but this one I genuinely enjoyed. The non twist happy ending was refreshing to see.
Imagine not enjoying them. They're usually pretty fun.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v people don't like the same things you do lmfao
@@lightlylemony People who say "I don't like X but enjoyed [thing related to X] are just attention whores.
Black Tapia might be the nicest Death Game Admin I ever saw. Seriously it felt like the dude wanted everyone to stay alive.
He’s not nice, but he isn’t cruel. The game is brutal, but Black Tapia made it fair. When Meguru got stabbed, he disabled the bracelets so the trauma wouldn’t kill them. Though the same fairness killed the trans girl, since her hair getting cut didn’t count as violence.
I relate a lot to your personal struggle. I lived alone for the first time and I realized supporting yourself and pursuing your dreams can be extremely difficult. I lost a lot of my savings to rent and to prioritize my dreams I went back to living with my parents. I felt like a huge failure but now I'm at a point of acceptance and going back to not giving up. I'm glad you're still here and your videos are great hang in there fellow struggler 🙏
I am glad that you had family to rely on to not end up homeless. Rent is too out of control and I can't and don't want to imagine having to move back into a hostile environment because all of the places I had previously had access to get suckered off by greedy capitalistic bastards.
The indomitable human spirit ultimatum
Mood
the look on the trans girl's corpse gave me chills. Her killer managed to bring her back to the worst moments of her life and completely shatter her from the inside. The mix of distress and emotional numbness on her face was haunting
The danganronpa editing is on point, this is an insanely good video
Good, except for calling the tr' anny a "woman."
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v …
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v start clowning on this retard everyone
@@youfound9846 Humans cannot change genders. Please seek therapy.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v nah shes a woman. stay mad about it, coward
Your channel is going to fucking explode dude. I watched your School Days vid because of morbid curiosity with the series, and found this immediately after I finished that one.
You do excellent work and you're going to be boosted hella soon. I just know it.
I relate a lot having worked two jobs to keep my brother and I's apartment afloat and it took me a long time to break out of that hellacious Grindset.
Keep chugging guy, your work is fantastic.
47:53
"Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body, my holding cell
The dice has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul
Left me with life in hell!!!"
The amount of despair that comes from being financially insecure/poor is insurmountable.
Also I just want to say that in a decent,working society, a collective society which looks out for each other, ur hardwork would've/should've have paid out. People with connections and money/resources always have opportunities.
Also I loved this video ❤️
I remember reading this years ago, the death of the model character and disfigurement of her face actually reminded me of the movie “ Seven “ and the Pride murder.
As much as it sucks that the trans character dies. I still think she was protrayed really well. In a death game people will die. So as much as it sucks she dies i am still happy that she was protayed so well!
dude same, i was fucking praying for her happy ending
it made me really sad there was no good ending for her she's the character I relate to but it's alright at least she was there to encourage our mc to not give up even after death as a illusion.
@@soggy_auggy7191 YEAH SAME! I wanted her to be able to fully transition soo bad :'(
Well. It is what it is.
He would've done it himself eventually anyway.
Pain is a part of life. But learning from pain and growing stronger is the benefit of suffering. Even if your life sucks, learning to use that struggle to push you forward will make any new struggle trivial. Because if all the pain and suffering you've endured can only push you higher nothing can stand against that torrent of motivation.
as a trans gal, utsuromiya’s death really stuck with me after i read the manga~ and probs what made the story so good in my eyes, attacking the weakest of spots to gain victory, nobody was safe in this game.
As someone who’s also trans, Utsuromiya’s death was heartbreaking but also you can tell that she was written by someone who didn’t take into the nuances of trans existence. Let me explain; in a manga about nihilism, it would have been interesting to see Utsuromiya’s reaction to seeing her hair cut as numb or blunted. Growing up trans, I remember being constantly bombarded with emotional distress for not being born in the correct body, my peers bullying me, being socially outcasted, etc. If I was put in this death game as a teenager, Utsuromiya’s torture would have definitely been my end. BUT, the manga failed to consider that specific mental exposure over a period of time, eventually, people constantly berating me about being trans no longer has the effect it used to. Sure it can be demoralizing, it can still hurt, but someone cutting my hair? Someone telling me I will always be the gender I was assigned at birth? That shit happens every other day, it doesn’t petrify me anymore because I’ve lived my entire life being under that scrutiny. Someone using that in a death game now wouldn’t cause me to die, because even if it causes distress, it isn’t a new pain. My mind is used to it.
I know that is way too much to ask anyone who literally wouldn’t be able to understand that if they didn’t go through it themselves, but I just wanted to vomit out my thoughts about it. I honestly loved the fact that Utsuromiya was treated as a loved and respected character in the manga instead of being a negative stereotype. Just was excited to seeing another trans person have an interest in a manga I enjoyed reading! Cheers
@@midgematic8659 Yeah! As another trans person (Im a trans guy), leaving my hair to grow is still just weird and disheartening to me (but I put up with it bc Im still closeted). If someone forcefully gave me an extention after having short masc hair for months, I'd be devastated. While obviously, being berated and hated for being trans can and is deadly, but the action of making that statement a physical attribute by forcing you wear something you don't want to wear due to dysphoria when your used to wearing more gender affirming clothes and growing out or cutting your hair, those things are much more likely to kill me than being told I'll always be a girl.
@@painttedHyena1974 Whether your hair is long or short or how others perceive you still - please know what matters most is not the way your body is built, it's who you identify as, hun, you're a wonderful guy, I wish you loads of strength to one day come out of the closet as the amazing man you are, even if transitioning is always a scary thing to go through there WILL always be people who support you wholeheartedly, you've got this, you can do it, I believe in you :>
having her hair cut off was such an awful thing to witness. her identity was forcibly stripped from her.
@@midgematic8659I feel it's not just the hair cutting but the entirety of what he did to her. I'm not trans but he intentionally triggered her loss of her one important thing by destroying the doll that represents her dog then he ripped off all of her clothes which was already bringing to mind the dysphoria that that dog/doll specifically helped her cope with then also cut off all her hair and forced her to grapple with every inch of her trauma, all within a few minutes where she was physically unable to do anything to save herself.
Just a complete violation of every inch of her autonomy and personal choices and existence.
I feel it was a perfect way to really demonstrate it, by layering everything at once. Since it's not just triggering her dysphoria but also her traumas surrounding everything that happened to her in her past.
you’ve probably already gotten this a lot, but this was probably the best video I’ve ever watched. I’ve never read this manga before or have heard of it but listening to you talk about it and analyze it was just so entertaining for me. Definitely a life changing video. I constantly struggle with the wish to not exist but it was interesting to see your view and struggles and the characters. Please keep this up!
You had me sold with just the thumbnail.
You probably won't see this, but your personal struggle section really touched me, for I'm going through something similar right now. I was just a while ago sitting alone with all the intense thoughts and despair, and your video came up in my recommendations. Im not sure if I will make out of it, but I wanted to say thank you for sharing. I hope things are great on your end, and as well as anyone else going through it. Be safe and be strong.
Long story short this is EMOTIONAL DAMAGE the manga. I love it.
Man that ending hit me hard, your work is always a great watch and i always wanna show my support. You're amazing and thanks for another amazing video
Man ever since the school days video I’ve been hooked on your content, I’m genuinely glad I’ve found such a gem of a channel this early on. Your work is inspiring and I deeply appreciate your explanations of these amazing mangas.
I love the way you analyze mangas and also the fact you’re able convey the messages so effortlessly is admirable like you’re fucking awesome
Thank you for making this video. Words probably can't describe how much this means to me but fuck it imma try.
I've been facing my own spiral over the past few years. So many close family members gone. My partner's declining health. My own generosity twisted against me. But the nail in the coffin was when someone tried to take my partner's life by gunpoint. It made me feel powerless in a world I realized carried enough hate to snuff out our lives for some perceived slight.
Couple that with working myself as hard as I could to make sure our needs were met. That main character of this manga hits far, far too close to home.
By luck I stumbled on your channel, and I ended up binging your punpun videos but this one. This one was the one I needed to hear. I don't care how sappy I sound now. This video honestly touched me. I needed to hear this. Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't care anymore.
Thank you! Keep doing what you're doing! At the very least I'm a subscriber for life now!
Dude you videos are so good, Im so shocked by your story telling skils. Like holy shit?!?! Like that takes talent to create something like this. Im reminded of WormGirl when I watch your vids - mainly the video where she explains the plot of "Feat & Hunger: Termina". Both of you beautifully condense plotlines and characters motivations
Your videos are so... personal, man. I've only seen this one and the school days one but you genuinely seem like a good person. One who's just another human trying to live in this world. Please keep making videos man.
So youre telling me the bum just survived by saying next to nothing and just stinking in his corner until the shitstorm was over?
thats kinda funny tbh
I have no idea how you don’t have more subs, after this one I binged all your videos covering series I’m not in middle of and didn’t want spoiled. Fantastic work dude these are phenomenal!
So this got me in a way that I was not expecting. 1:06:06 Especialy from this part foward I droped of high school a few years back because of a lot of things and because I was a stupid teenager, I focused 100% of my time in in chasing my dream, I tried my best, but it felt like it was never enough, and then I started getting older, and now I am 20. And I fully understand your breakdown when you said that you had when noticed would not have time to do what you want, but instead would have to work and exhaust yourself to the point of not having time to do something you love. And I had the same experience just a few days back, because next year I will be back a trying to finish high school and I will definetly have to find a job. And like you, the only thing I could do when I realised that I almost would not have enough time to focus on what I love was cry.
I don't know how next year will be, I don't know if I really will manage to balance everything perfectly, but Like you did I will try to make something more constructive with these weird feelings and just moving on.
I am very happy that I discovered your channel, your videos are great!
And sorry If have some grammar errors english is not really my first lenguage
I'll be turning 30 in a little over a week, and I can confidently say that the period after high school is definitely a learning experience, both with yourself and life in general. All of us make mistakes, but what's important is how we come back from them. You still have a lot of time to take what's in front of you and use it to the best of your ability. Take things one day at a time, and I'm sure a new or renewed direction will open for you. Wishing you all the best, thanks for sharing :)
@@lexaand Thank you, really. And Happy aniversary I wish all the best for you too, keep up with the great videos :D
I absolutely love how theres constant danganronpa music in the background 😂 very fitting
19:54 that is my worse nightmare if it was made into art
Love the openness in the last part of the video. It's always great to see why someone resonates with a story in a personal way. Enjoyed it a lot man, love.
I recently discovered your channel from a random recommendation and man, it's really nice to have a channel making videos that is easily digestible
The production quality of these videos are insane, a long with the poignant analysis. Kudos and keep up the good work.
I love your vids. I've been binging alot of these types of videos ever since I got into literature and writing and I can say that your style for these videos are by far my favorite
i relate to meguru a lot cause I also only kept living for my own sister. When she was better off (and im glad she was able to make that progress over the years), i lost a lot of the purpose I had in life cause for a large portion of my life that purpose was supporting her. I had a nihilistic attitude once she started to get independent, thinking I lost all reason to keep going, but learning that I should start living for myself, but also still supporting her what ever way I can, helped me get out of the hole. I still struggle with doubts, like that I only should keep living if someone needs to rely on my support for something, but I just want to keep going just for the sake of living.
I found your channel thanks to your last video and I’ve been addicted ever since! I love the quality and the content! So here I am so ready for this one :)
Best yt channel, this and the school days video are the only 1hour videos that ive ever watched
Having read this manga so long ago, it was really cool to find someone do such a rundown of the story again! Thanks for the great coverage, I hope it brings other people to this underrated short story
Maan I love these videos, long form deep dive analysis on these topics and themes from a unique perspective and just the open and honest relatability... seriously keep up the amazing work!!!
I discovered your channel yesterday from your school days video and I am so happy I did, I've already binged my way through all of your videos lmao, please know that for as long as you choose to continue making these videos you will have a loyal viewer :]
You are legit my inspiration for video making like shhhhh, I love your video and also the cute little DR nods here and there
God dang, this video couldnt have been recommended in a better time than it had. I watched all your previous videos but youtube only recommended this video an hour, just in time when I was having my yearly existentialist moment, that comes with the year ending. The message in the end really got to me, giving me a new angle to look life at and a renewed drive to continue striving for the future. Great video as always man, hope ya'll enjoy the festivities that comes with December.
I was listening to this in the background and I almost couldnt focus at first because I thought the choice to use danganronpa music was so on point, this series’ premise is sort of a mix between danganronpa 3’s future arc, danganronpa 1, and squid game
Toward the end of the video, it started making me think about The Little Prince, which I had just listened to an audiobook for the other day.
The fox in the book explains the concept so simply, so plainly.
When you choose to get to know somebody, you tame them. And in return, they tame you.
When you have tamed something, you become responsible for it.
If you leave it behind, it will bring sadness. That sadness is worth it, however, as the act of being tamed itself is worth it.
And until something becomes tamed, it’s just another thing in an endless field of things.
The little prince has a flower. And despite having met a field of identical flowers, his flower is still his. And since he must go home to meet his flower, the flower that he is responsible for, he will do whatever is needed to get there. Even if it harms him.
People will always choose the things that they already know. And that’s not wrong of them. Once you know somebody, you are inherently responsible for them.
I relate to your end part very much. Keep hanging on man. Discovered your videos yesterday and I enjoyed what I've heard so far.
This was a great listening experience the story was really interesting and your use of sound effects really made certain scenes pop
I hate that you don’t have more subs like genuinely some of the best content on youtube
Love listening to your videos as I work, keep up the hard work!!!
22:17 "it's a trap" -Admiral Ackbar
Man this video hit hard. We all love your videos and definitely want to see you do well and support you. Keep up the quality content man!
Finally another video grateful for your hard work.
11/10 video man. this deserves millions of views for the quality and effort
Always amped to watch one of your videos
Such a great video. Makes you think about your own strugles and finding a way to overcome them
Been binging your videos and I appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing your connection to Life is Money.
I kinda went through a similar slump. Especially since what I really wanted to do, it has to be put on the back burner in the meantime (and a lot longer than I intended and wanted it to be). But also learning to find other meaningful things in my life. Like learning to make new friendships as an adult (which no one told me was going to be a challenge). And especially coping with my depression. I'm glad I chased after those things and learning new skills for myself and not chasing wanting to be an influencer (plus I'm pretty sure the fame and clout would've gone to my head).
I also very much appreciate your channel. It's a gem to find you talking about all kinds of manga. And especially short but meaningful mangas. I'm always on the lookout for those kinds of things (plus as an adult when I don't have much time to keep up with ongoing series all the time, it's just nice to read stories that already have an ending)
The danganronpa vfx amd music was a nice touch
Amazing video, great production. Had me heart beating
Love your videos but mainly the way you tell these stories is unique to you and it's awesome.
Cheers for this. I can relate in ways to your introspective part of the video, but alternatively my experience came from not applying myself wholeheartedly to the path I've chosen. The parallels in your account and my experience are interesting, as I feel I had a similar start and endpoint, yet very different journey. May just be as shallow as all forms of strife eat at the human spirit, but reward you with some merit in wisdom. The isolation and despair depicted as darkness consuming Megumi was well done, and the light in form of human connection and kinship I find is profoundly true. I've found that I oscillate between numbness, pain, and feeling thankful in what my journey has afforded me in understanding. I've also felt that these experiences have deepened the ability to support people who make themselves open to me with hardships. Unfortunately it seems I have been losing the connection lately and growing more numb, as I'm fence sitting a problem of arguable severity with pain medication. Currently still have the "control" to stave off physical dependency, we'll see how that goes. Addiction isn't described in literature as a "progressive neurodegenerative disease" for no reason, and I feel it encroaching upon my mental. Fortunately or not, the abyss to fall into is bottomless, we alone decide where is deep enough. Glad this channel is a good outlet for you, as I enjoy your content! I hope to find my own equivalent that's a little less temporary and destructive than my current outlet. It used to be skateboarding, but the recurrent injuries seem to be contributing to my situation more than helping past few years. Bless and thanks for all you do.
I'm so happy you uploaded something, I binged all your non oyasumi punpun videos (since I haven't read this yet, but I'm sure I'll watch them as well when I'm done reading) and I was worried when I saw you haven't uploaded anything in two months. I'm really glad to see new content from you!:-) Your videos are well put together, edited and are informative to the max, great work and can't wait for more. I hope you'll blow up soon since you deserve it, wishing you the best!
after finding the school days video i decided to watch a bunch of your other videos and theyre amazing! thanks for getting me through some uni work lol!
I first stumbled across your School Days video like many others, and after watching it I couldn't help but watch your other videos! You do a great job with these video essays and I'm excited to see more from you.
This video really struck me. I've been dealing with nihilism a lot lately due to my life circumstances, but this video and this story helped remind me I need to keep pushing through.
I hope everything works out for you
the danganronpa music is a nice touch lol
I just watched your school days video witch is how I found your channel. Really good video by the way so I'm definitely going to stick around. I wish you could be bigger your channel really is something special. But that's life so hopefully that can change but for now let's just appreciate what we have ok.
___________________________________________
Ps I hope you become bigger and we'll I think you definitely earned me as a subscribe. Bye can't wait to see what you'll do in the future!! :D
amazing video man reallyy without u would never found this cool manga
Woah dude that conclusion
I JUST have a speech about how I’ve come to terms with living a life defined moment to moment, and somehow found the same sentiment echoed in a UA-cam video essay.
Awesome.
Thank you for introducing me to this manga, i am so in love with it
It's great to see that you are close to 10k 👍
I love the art style
There is a good ending you just need to keep going on to see it come true.
This manga review was great.
Your channel is a hidden gem
The way the trans girl dies is pretty powerful as dysphoria and being outcast and not affirmed leads a lot of trans people to take their own lives :-( I’m sad she didn’t make it, but I think having her as a sympathetic character was very progressive for Japan
@@noorhafeda9497 Personally, no one asked you.
@@TheAlmightyJello Nah am gonna give my opinion, also this isn't "personally" about you so go away.
@noor hafeda It ain't personally about you either. You decided to come in and attack a group of people for no reason. No one asked for your ill informed opinion, especially since you clearly don't know enough about gender dysphoria to warrant giving it. Read up and then maybe you'll have something not totally useless to say.
@@TheAlmightyJello personally, no one asks anyone. You didn’t even ask me to chime in and yet I am. The comment section is for the purpose of discussing the video. I also loved how progressive the character was for Japan and their story is pretty impactful.
@* tatiana * I accept discussion of the video. I do not accept transphobia under the guise of "it's just my opinion doe".
Your videos are so good dude keep it up
Holy shit this was amazing just letting you know you releasing this a day after I found out about you from your school days video feels like this was a coincidence.
I enjoyed this more than Gamble Fish lmao, even though it's kinda apples and oranges.
The surrealist breakdowns are *amazing*, really cool to see that kinda stuff.
wow....To say I relate to most of the characters (even some of the worst ones) and parts of the plotline feels like an understatement. I was mostly alone with my thoughts from childhood to... well now, so reflection upon oneself and nihilism have always kind of been there, but something about hearing this video and your own personal struggle with it... I don't know what the feeling is yet. Either way, Thank you for making this video, it was really good!
Man, I related way to much with Utsuromiya, that was the biggest L for me, I hoped the trio would survive but a death game is a death game, no matter how brutal it is
Hell yeah new video
i love your videos sm i’d love to see you cover his and her circumstances, the manga has more dark tones, ooo and die wergelder. keep it up
You make very good videos ❤️ , thankyou.
So nostalgic. I remember reading this years ago, barely remember it outside of thinking it took a weird turn near the end. I was probably too young when I read it. It'll be interesting to see your take on it.
This is such a high quality vid
This guys videos are perfect. I think UA-cam stagnates the growth due to the subject matter. SAD!!
I like how you did the editing and the blood effects, considering how similar the setting is to Dangan Ronpa
It means a lot I relate so much!!!
This was fantastic. I genuinely didn't expect that somewhat optimistic ending to the story ❤️
Underrated manga sadly it suffers from being too short. Great video btw, been binge watching since the school days one
So i just discoverd this channel it's awesome i recommend the sub
Thank u for awesome content😊
The Danganronpa OST in the background fits perfectly. 🤌
Whelp I found a new channel to watch fucking everything on :D love your style and content so far! My first vid was goodnight punpun and now I am hooked!
This was nice 🙂
Man... This channel is something! Great work my dude. Just watched you School Days and Corpse Party videos now. You made a great work on your analysis of the franchises. If you are willing to do it, I would like you to review the Doku Mushi manga or the Lisa game franchise. Pretty dark stuff these two. Keep up the good work mah man! You deserve greatness
Man! I was not seeing much potential in the beginning, but as the story progressed the more I enjoyed the concept
I love the Danganronpa themed editing, it really feels fitting for Mangas like this one
Holy shit dude, that was great.
Happy belated Halloween!
This could make a interesting anime. I hope you do more reviews
What a privilege to watch these videos for free. I can feel your emotions.
I find very smart the game mechanic that removes the players’ senses as, once stacked on top of the other, they make for a great plot device to convey that feeling of nothingness Nihilism exhibits. Blind, deaf, unable to feel touch or taste or smell, you’re reduced to listening with no interruption to the dark thoughts of your mind, questioning life whilst at death’s door.
While some players have certainly won in this game, can it really be defined as an actual win? Ultimately is it really possible to win against the bigger game, life? Or maybe existence isn’t about winning or losing.
Society is such a complicated artificial construction, really, only an illusion, if we follow a nihilistic perspective.
Perhaps we can create meaning, as you mentioned at the end, in smaller things. Nihilism really can be helpful in realising the importance and value of what really matters around us.
Stay strong, we all are strugglers in this absurd game called life. Death or failure can’t be allowed to get the better of us.
You’re beautiful.
Sorry it took me this long to get to this very important video.
We've talked about it before, but nihilism goes both ways in terms of perspective. While it can be useful for keeping yourself grounded and focused on what's important, it can also be terribly destructive. It is interesting how many superficial things lose all meaning through that particular lens though. The game of life is a difficult one, and one without any real prize to win, outside of the experience itself. We all have to find our own personal satisfaction and hold onto that. Since the release of this video, I think I've made real progress with myself, and I want to stay on that path for as long as I can. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@lexaand yes, it’s interesting to say the least when you consider the two paths Nihilism brings you to, the constructive and destructive one. I know you’ve made a lot of progress, and I know you’ll keep at it, best wishes and good luck, we all need some luck in life!
TRANS CHARACTER LETS GO

A very passionate review from you! I read this when it was completed back then but it never connected to me to a degree. Glad you can relate to this series and made a video on it since it seems like another manga sitting under the rest of thousands of no name series. I wouldn't be surprised if you've read Alice in borderland, if not, I highly recommend it.
I can relate to you in the main character. Honestly you just took the UA-cam you're also pretty good man. Nihilist to nihilus
Once you fell down the only other way is up.
