    It was done very quickly, so please try to thank them for their hard work. I took the liberty of editing some of the lines to sound smoother in English.
    Hello, it's ac. I hope you are doing well as always.
    I am still sick, but I feel much better than I did yesterday. Thank you to everyone who left kind comments on the community post, it was very sweet!!
    Honestly I couldn't even find a translation of the VD title so I just put it into google translate. It's a clear translation so it seems likely it's accurate, but if it's not just let me know and I'll change it 😭
    Of course, I feel very bad for Amane. I'm kind of frustrated that Milgram keeps saying "these characters have been abused and that's bad, but we're going to have Es physically abuse them too". Poor girl. I like Es and I think their attitude is what makes them interesting but sometimes it's a lot...
    Have a nice day!
    Voice Actors:
    Es: Amami Yurina
    Amane: Minami Tanaka

    Certain Milgram trials demand more active consideration than others, and I think this is one of them. Remember that Amane’s story deals with child abuse/torture as well as religious trauma and indoctrination, among other things. Please do your best to be respectful and mature when discussing it. There are many real life cult survivors.
    I imagine Mikoto’s trial will call for a similarly high amount of courtesy, so thank you for your efforts 🙏 I will be (trying to) monitor comments, and will delete yours if you are particularly disrespectful or ignorant. This is no way means that you can’t express a more unpopular voting opinion, just don’t be stupid, basically. Thank you!

    I’m glad it was confirmed that the characters don’t age in real time. They’ve had several birthday conversations on their timelines, which made people think that Amane would have been 15 now. Thankfully that’s not the case. It’d be kind of depressing if they were stuck here for years.

    Her voice changed back to sounding more like how she originally sounded when she got worked up, as though when her coping mechanism as "we" was shaken you could see glimpses of how she actually feels. Lashing out against being rejected and judged, she tries to become a concept, something irreproachable and undefiable, so that it is not her, the child, who is being rejected, but her religion, which can fight back. in a way, isnt this what the meta voters wanted? to attack the religion instead of the child? of course, it doesnt work like that. even this is only an expression of the damage suffered by the child. I think she denies being a child so that she doesnt have to be helpless to judgement, even though she is clearly still psychologically vulnerable to that judgement. through religion she was able to fight back against those who abused her through the religion. it would be more accurate to think of the cult as a set of rules that was originally imposed on her that she has made into her own sense of power in the moment she killed her abuser. why would she give that up for milgram, a set of rules where she is in the weak? by the end of the voice drama her voice is as it used to sound, awake and aware, pointing out the hypocrisy of those of "us" who judge her with as arbitrary a system as her own. "Playing pretend" is what we are doing.

    Es's "I'm 15, so I'm considered an adult in some countries, and ur not" IS SO CHILDISH!! This is basically just two children bickering lmao. Amane is absolutely right about Es being just like her and respect to her for realizing we (the voters, the "we" Es uses) exist! Like everything she says is basically right except for the fact that murder is wrong (girlie. it is. come on.) and the fact that Shidou shouldn't have done what he did.
    But also this feels contradicting to her mv - didn't she kill her abuser, the one who's been "brainwashing" her? How does that even work in her worldview?

      ive been seeing ppl say that the abuser killed the cat amane was seen taking care of, and in amanes eyes that violates “’Tis ordained, thou shall follow thine destiny”. I think this means something about not changing the fate god had laid for them. so things like medical care (also why shes out for shidou) and killing would break this since they either extend ones life or shorten it. amane mightve killed her abuser as a form of punishment for breaking this rule (killing the cat) but thats just my thoughts on it

      I think her motive was 50% revenge (shown by her last lines in her music video) and 50% religious punishment (since otherwise the song wouldn't be so religious). I imagine her victim showed hypocrisy in some way.

    So as Amane said it wasn't murder to her it was just punishment.. Her father broke a vow in their faith. Possibly brushed it off or ignored it. However, Amane got brutal punishment for breaking the same vow or other vows. So in her mind she delivered a punishment in alignment with her faith proving she did nothing wrong but give punishment for breaking a vow of the religion. She did kill her abuser but she didn't see it that way she was just doing the same thing her abuser did. She stopped her abuse but with the wrong view of the world...

      Amane literally is another Kotoko waiting to happen. The only difference between them is Amane's doing it for religious reasons, Kotoko's doing it "to protect the weak". Although Kotoko's really just trying to justify her violent tendencies rooted at vengeance at her past abuser. She's so caught up in trying to act out as the punisher of the oppressors because she loathes the fact that she had no power to protect herself in the past. Violence satisfied her lust for vengeance and gave her a false sense of control, meanwhile Amane's beliefs in her religion is what gives her her own false sense of control. In reality, none of their actions are really helping them nor do they have any control over themselves. Personally from my perspective, Amane's hopeless at this point.

      @emmavanvelzen9890 A little arguable. Shidou was conflicted between being validated in the second trial. He knows what he did was sick and unforgiveable and he understood what it felt to have something important taken away from you, hence the only way to rectify his sin was death.
      Take it as the perspective of a suicidal person who wants to die, but finds a purpose with the skills that he has. Not to mention Amane reminds him of his own children. If Amane does find a way to inflict divine punishment on him, Shidou wouldn't do anything because he knows he deserves death for all the lives he's taken away, and it was only a matter of time that his own actions would finally catch up to him. The fact that Amane's the one doing it to him can also be interpreted by him as his own children scorning him for his own actions.
      Why would Shidou choose to stay and help these strangers when the people he held so dear are already dead? Wouldn't it be more in line with his desire if he accepts death when it comes knocking on his door if it meant that he'll finally be reunited with his loved ones?

    edit: after reading some other comments i think it's pretty clear that amane only dissociates(?) and views herself as the cult's teachings as a way to protect herself. so if we give her the innocent verdict for trial 2 there is a possibility that we can get her true feelings (hopefully not through violence this time) once she feels more secure, since we can kind of hear how her cult persona cracks once es told her how she was influenced by her environment.

I think she’ll pull a Mu and believe more in her philosophy which would make it even harder to change her world view. Milgram is the worst thing that can happen to Amane right now. It’s either her world view is destroyed or affirmed to the point it won’t change.

We don’t know the consequences for being voted guilty in trial 3. Seeing how far Milgram is letting the prisoners fight makes me think death could be a consequence. As long as Amane gets voted innocent in trial 3 she’ll think we didn’t have enough information in the last two trials and that we finally saw the “truth.” Unless we’re told the consequence of trail 3 voting, I doubt she will leave Milgram without her ideals being affirmed.

    Based on the MV I was gonna say "oh it was self defense from abuse, innocent"
    But she didn't speak of abuse. She referred to her crime as a punishment for breaking the rules of her religion, and she stated she'd do it again.
    A lot of people in the comments of this voice drama are saying that she has complete awareness of herself, and I can see why they'd think that, but I also don't think they realize the extremity of religious indoctrination and abuse there is in her story, because these are incredibly important to consider when judging her case.
    She's *twelve.* She's said before that she doesn't want to be treated like a child, but regardless of what she wants, that's exactly what she is. She's a child who's gone through hell. Her cult background and abuse she's suffered are incredibly important to take into consideration.
    She has such strong faith, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the way it's been shown and taught to her is extreme and brutal. She's willing to kill for her faith, but I don't think she's ever once completely grasped what her "punishment" for presumably her mother had entailed. She understands what she's done, but her judgement is warped by her background.
    If she is voted innocent, it will only solidify her belief that she did the right thing for her faith.
    But if she is voted guilty again, it will trigger a mental breakdown. I honestly don't see a win-win solution here.

With her doctrine as the excuse, it will just be a continuing cycle of pain and abuse .
    For me, Her crime is understandable, but not forgivable. Especially with her current mindset. And that's okay! A crime or wrong that is not forgiven doesn't mean you've given up hope for the person in general. Just that a PARTICULAR thing needs to be remembered and if possible, atoned for.

    Milgram is complicated, but it's also pretty simple. On one hand, you have all these factors going into voting, like internal politics, the safety of other prisoners, even the personal likability of them . . . But that was never the question, really. It's to judge if a murder is forgivable, right? Of course, it's fine to justify a decision with how it will affect the character, but that’s literally never gone well in the past, except with Shidou, and he would have been forgiven regardless, I believe. Well, anyway -
    I don’t like Amane. She needs help, and Milgram isn’t the place to get it. And I worry just what might happen if she's allowed to act as she pleases. Her doctrine . . . Really, that's a good word for it, as it's less a religion and more a set of rules. "Those who follow the rules are good, and those who break them are bad." It's fine to think of it that way. Of course, somehow managing to fit murder into that . . . Well, it's something, alright. I digress. Either way: Regardless of the consequences, I can't in good faith tell a child, "you were wrong to kill your abuser. I can't forgive you for doing such a thing." I don’t like the reason it was done - but that’s just a justification, is it not? Really . . . Amane was probably desperate and killed her abuser the first chance she got, within the rules. How awful, that she'd be pushed so far. . . But, she's still accountable for it. She had no other option, but she still committed murder. My problem is that she'd do it again. *That* is certainly . . . Not something forgivable, is it?

    i'm at a complete loss as to whether to vote her innocent or guilty, or i suppose rather forgiven/unforgiven. as others have said, voting her innocent will only affirm her worldview and that she's right--we punished her, and now she's been punished we're giving her our blessing to carry out her punishment toward shidou. that said, the idea of voting her guilty doesn't sit right with me--i only got into milgram during fuuta/mu's second trial so i never voted on amane's first trial, and in hindsight i don't think much would have changed if we'd voted her innocent; we'd have affirmed to her that her murder was understandable and justifiable, so her worldview would've been affirmed anyway. i think she would probably be less homicidal on account of not having endured the emotional/mental stress she did, but she would still have felt what she did was right and may have perhaps tried to punish shidou for 'interfering' in fuuta and mahiru's trials anyway, because she was punished for that and we would have affirmed that her doctrine is correct.
    back to this trial, the idea of voting her guilty doesn't feel right with me either. it *could* lead to her having some kind of breakdown and accepting that her doctrine isn't all she's been raised to believe it is... or she could just have a breakdown, if not worse. we don't know what being voted 'guilty' in this trial will entail. i think it's also wrong just to vote her guilty for shidou's sake--he's innocent and (at least at the time of writing) it looks like kazui might barely make it as well, so there's every chance he could defend himself (whether or not he/kazui actually *want* to is another matter, mind, and if not then it spells disaster for other characters)--and we also have to remember that the original milgram experiment proved that people were willing to inflict pain upon others, just because an authority figure told them to.
    i don't want to affirm her worldview further, but i also don't want to harm her more than we already have. as es says, some blame can be attributed to her environment, but also in my country, the criminal age of responsibility is 10--here, amane would be responsible for her crimes. i'm very, very conflicted on how to vote for her, or if i want to vote at all.

      Its called accountability. We're the ones judging these prisoners, hence the responsibility of the consequences falls on us. If people don't want the prisoners' lives to be at stake, then vote her guilty, if people would value an abused child having tantrums over three prisoner's lives, then vote innocent.
      What I find interesting however, I wonder why is Haruka guilty meanwhile Amane's innocent? If we're voting based on the circumstances of the prisoners alone, I wonder why Haruka, the intellectually disabled prisoner is being held accountable for his relapse with Mu? Meanwhile the one who is with proper cognitive functioning (although a little detached from reality due to abuse) like Amane's being voted innocent? When essentially, these two prisoners are parallels of each other?

      I'd say it's actually the majority voting prisoners for individual circumstances. Due to the ease of access, it's likely that most people only watch the videos and vote based on their thoughts, rather than checking what the community puts together about prisoner interactions / watching older Milgram videos about prisoner interactions. Amane's 2nd MV in particular attracted a lot of people who justify a forgiveness vote on account of her killing an abuser, not so much metavoting this time around. It may just Seem like there's much metavoting because you (and me, and others in this thread) are the theory-reading section of the audience who do come across metavoting justifications more often compared to the casual fans.

    Mikoto and Amane are kinda similar. Only similar because they both feel like they have multiple personalities or people in them. But at the same time. Amane cares a lot about her judgement while as Mikoto careless about it.
    Edit: I also want to note how it's kinda like Fuuta and Kotoko, they are both similar because of their judgement towards others and their "murders".
    Technically speaking, Mikoto and Amane "murders" are probably based on their other personalities.

      edit: and after thinking about her using the pronoun "we" a lot, I think it might be not that there are multiple people present in her body, but that she is used to the way that cults chant- like when they say things like "we are one under our leader" and shit like that

    i went into Amane’s second trial fully expecting to vote her innocent to make up for the fact she should’ve been innocent in trial 1 but now… I’m not so sure. I still think she should be declared innocent in the end, as MILGRAM is a 3 trial system, and one I assume doesn’t work off of best 2/3, but the final verdict, which is why I think for trial 2, Amane needs to be found guilty again. Now it seems like it’s a matter of belief vs belief, and I feel as though an innocent vote for this trial would make her think we’re bowing to her cult’s teachings, when now I think more than ever we have to deny them.
    I don’t think it would have come to this if she were voted innocent to begin with, but now it feels like MILGRAM is saying “you made this bed, now lie in it.”

    I don't think she'll hurt Shidou or anyone because they're not believers, they aren't part of her religion. What Amane did was deliver punishment to someone who was an hypocrite, who preached something, tortured her for years, then acted a different way. She's ofc not right for it but she's a child and the way she sees her doctrine, voting her guilty a second time will do more damage because she will keep refugeed on her religion instead of finding a new faith through Milgram (which is, eh, something i'm not a big fan of in the series because, unlike real life, we judge through black and whites and the characters don't have lawyers/defensors that can prove their cases to be innocent or guilty.)

She was told that it's right to behave like that since she was a kid, when she did something "wrong" she was punished, so she's doing what those people considered "right", it's not her fault, it's the fault of people who taught her to behave like that. Of course now, after living her whole life like that she won't realise it's wrong, no matter what's the verdict. I know it's bad that she doesn't understand that what she did was wrong, but again, that's not her fault and we can do nothing about it.

On one hand, child or not, religious or not, she killed an abuser (probably) and I think that's entirely deserved. On the other? What would forgiving Amane do to her? She's already decided not to forgive us, would it piss her off more for hypocrisy? Would she be entirely convinced she's in the right and kill more? And if she isn't forgiven would she try and harm others? Would SHE be harmed? I think I'll vote that I forgive her since personally I do but I think the outcome might be bad either way.

    The point of Milgram isn't to judge an inmate based off how other unrelated people might react to or be affected by any verdict they receive.
    The point of Milgram isn't to play favourites - or at least, it shouldn't be.
    The point of Milgram is to take what one knows about a person's crime as it stands, and answer a question: do you forgive them, or do you not?
    Is murder wrong? Of course it is. Goes without saying. Yet -- Amane is a minor. An easily manipulated, brainwashed 12-year-old, raised in a den of fanaticism and violence, made to accept contradictory and vague rules by her parents and guardians and seemingly routinely punished for minor infractions by the cult's leaders, assuming they're not just visual representations of the kinds of punishment she received at home. Everyone has a breaking point. Anyone with a functioning moral compass should believe that physically and mentally abusing children is absolutely monstrous and that anyone who does it deserves retribution. At risk of courting controversy, I believe that there are instances where retributive justice is justifiable -- this is one of them.
    Is what Amane did acceptable within the bounds of the law? Absolutely not. Should she be voted guilty to 'protect' others, when surely the better option - as someone who makes it his business not to meta-vote - would be to vote innocent, thereby preventing her from descending into full-blown mania and dedicating herself to finding a way to make good on her threats? I don't think so. Is what she did morally forgiveable? I honestly think it is. Voting characters guilty (or innocent!) to shield others to try and impart some lesson hasn't worked. It didn't work with Amane, it didn't work with Yuno, it arguably made things even worse with Amane and with other characters like Mu. And strangely, Amane seems to be the recipient of this behavior more than most.
    What if, when the third trial comes round, the punishment for three straight guilty votes is revealed to be death? Will people still feel compelled to try and insist that she needs to know what she did was wrong because the cult was bad, or try to protect whoever it is that she's threatened the second time round? Would be a funny thing to see, justifying the death of a child by way of playing the meta game...

      And for me, my basis is based on how prisoners aware/regrets their action, and they may not doing it again,
      Or
      If a prisoner believed their actions are right = guilty
      If not and they regrets it = innocent
      (I'm also basing on the consequences of the vote)
      So every person's have diff basis, like yours who only based on their crimes,
      (I do understand why people voting amane innocent an abused child, a minor, a 12 years old, a young girl)
      ( but would an "innocent" vote really help Amane especially there are proven risks? And an innocent vote would just reaffirm their beliefs? )
      (Or is it best to vote guilty to prevent consequences? but it may worsen amane condition?)
      Well it's up to you,
      For me saving amane is already too late, but every person has their own perspective and a theory doesn't mean it proven.

    I think that she devoted herself to the doctrine that had enslaved her, because that very same doctrine is also what allowed her to kill her abusers. At a point where she had nothing, it was there for her. It must have felt like a miracle for her, that thanks to these rules, her killing her abusers was signed off on, by God themselves. I think all they wanted was validation.
    But no one would give it to her, except the doctrine itself. As a victim of abuse and indoctrination myself, I feel more deeply for Amane than any of the other prisoners. To have this kind of thing happen, and have everybody just stand by and watch as you are knowingly destroyed. Then when you finally have enough, and snap on the ones hurting you SUDDENLY everyone is 'so concerned for you, you can't do that." It's maddening. I hope we can help Amane find her way out. I will never shame her for what she did to them.

    • @rationeextrema3776
      @rationeextrema3776 11 місяців тому +2

      My interpretation is that she uses her doctrine to quell the guilt she feels. I don't believe she feels guilty about killing her abusers, but guilty about feeling joy for taking control and killing her abusers. Her joy isn't from following the principles her religion set out for her, but a selfish act of revenge (I'm not saying this is bad). By claiming herself as the embodiment of those principles, she can justify her actions.
      You can say see that kind of crack when people begin laying out what she's done. It's particularly apparent that she doesn't like being judged for it, because it makes her feel powerless and aware of how it was *her* who desired their deaths, not God. What it ultimately comes down to is getting her to recognize and accept that she was a desperate child trying to escape a bad situation. From there, Amane needs to be reassured that it's normal and okay to feel happy about getting out of such a terrible environment. They were young and didn't have many options. What could she do when her cult isolated her from society and assaulted her for violating any rule? No support system, no one she could go to for help because the mere association with her cult made her appear naive ("You're being deceived." "There's still hope for you.") or insane ("You're crazy."). Her religion gives her control where she had none before. As you pointed out, it must feel terrible to be invalidated for doing something for once. It pushes her deeper into her harmful beliefs.
      Anyway, I've rambled long enough. The long and short of it is that I agree with your view of her.

      it was a good choice not saying yeah your right at the start is good because now if we go innocent she will warm up to Es possibly an we learn more about why she is building this custom WE empire persona @@bisuopp8049

      If that were the case, an inno>guilty>inno vote would be best. I think haruka has been handled much better than amane by the fandoms votes. Id rather her fall deeper peacefully then fall deeper while losing it

    I feel like meta voting isn’t going the be useful at this point. No matter what you do in this stage of milgram there are going to be negative. They’re raising the stakes really high and it’s very likely that deaths are going to happen. No matter what we vote they’re going to change the story appropriately. Vote for each character individually and see whether you forgive them or not, meta voting has only caused more problems in the past.

      I personally forgive her in spite of the things that may happen if she’s voted innocent, voting her guilty will just mess her up even more then she already is. Especially considering we don’t know what will happen to guilty prisoners in trial 3.

    i think it’s interesting that Es brings up orekoto being able to hurt them to say that Amane’s just “playing pretend.” Cause if Amane’s murder was her carrying out her doctrine, than the “we” Amane, who’s acting as sort of a personification of her religion, would be the intended prisoner, no ? So it makes sense to me that she wouldn’t be able to hurt Es at that moment, but I guess unless “i” Amane also tries to attack Es then we can’t know anything for sure.

    I feel like maybe if she was voted innocent maybe she wouldn't be so deep down in this rabbit hole of the beliefs she was taught. As the pinned comments shows, there are people who survive from cults. For Amane though feel like the guilty verdict pushed her deeper into the beliefs of no return.

    Now that both Amane and Shidou were deemed innocent I wonder if Amane won't kill Shidou, if she starts running at him with scissors I doubt that he'd defend himself (maybe he would try to help her in some way idk)

    I think it would have been cool not to forgive Amane, since that way we could have talked to Cthulhu in person during the third trial.

    I don't know why people are having a hard time with voting. It's pretty easy for me
    She is innocent for the charge of committing murder against her mother.
    However, she should be charged for attempted murder of Es, and 2x verbal threats against Shidou.

    Look my guys I get it shes 100% going to try to kill Shidou but a. He is innocent so he will be in a better place to fight back than Mahiru and Futa were b. He has regained his will to live since the last trial and isnt likely to just let it happen c. She's 12. She's not an athletic 20 year old like Kotoko is d. It has been implied that prisoners that are judged guilty in the end die. I cant approve actively killing a 12 year old for the potential to protect someone else. I dont think Shidou would really approve of us hurting her to save him either.
