Deep Cover Spoilers!!!!

One of the first things I thought of. “01 — Parasite”

So Deep Cover kinda slapped. Girl did not have to call Yuno a Slut though…

All I have to say about Kotoko at this point is that She’s guilty of something. Maybe what she did before milgram is just, but she’s not as righteous as she (and some people in the fandom) thinks she is. I’m going to hold my final judgment until the music video comes out. But right now, I’m definitely leaning toward Guilty. Girl threatened Amane and that’s not going to fly in my house.

Kotoko is not any better than Fuuta. Her sense of justice is just as messed up (at least). She’s not any better than any of the other prisoners, and if the lyrics of Deep Cover, and what she says in Yonah are anything to go off of, she would beat them all up if she were allowed.

So yeah. Guilty unless the MV pulls something insane out of the void.

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PERPETUATING A CYCLE OF VIOLENCE THAT WILL ULTIMATELY HURT YOURSELF IN THE END!!! YOU ARE BECOMING THE WOLF YOU ARE NOW THE MONSTER!!! KOTOKO!!!!!!

[arcusnoel]

Whoever made the french sub for deep cover is INSANE, WHY IS KOTOKO CALLING KAZUI A "REPRESSED" ??? (Also crazy how she called Mikoto the R-slur, like... WHAT HAPPENED ?"

At least it gave me an idea

[fankawashitpost]

how do you think es reacted to hearing deep cover for the first time

Deep Cover title callbacks?

It's purely an English translation thing.

If someone has done this already, then this is your second cake. (I'll never get that analogy out of my head.)

-

“UNDER” Doltish, a codependency of the weak

“UNDER” Obscene, pulling all cords to stay warm

So ridiculous, isn’t it ridiculous

Bringing back the cocky hero again? How embarrassing

“UNDER” Incessant, this sorry round-robin of who’s queen

“UNDER” Doomed, a peddling flower thief

So ridiculous, isn’t it ridiculous

Still saying this is love, this is love, that’s tough

“UNDER” Concealing, coveting, glass half empty or full?

Unstoppable unbreachable MAGIC

So ridiculous, isn’t it ridiculous

Don’t remember a thing, not a thing, poor Me poor Me

-

Seems she didn't call back Muu or Shidou's titles, but "sorry", "round-robin", and "queen" are all big parts of Muu's songs.

So Kotoko does have title callbacks, just not for her own title.

Alright, time to actually go to sleep now.

okay I know this is bisexual lighting but also I had thoughts on this lighting, too!!

So, uh, red and blue lighting! It could also be a reference to law enforcement (at least in the U.S., the stereotypical police car had similar lighting.)

So, she's acting like her own law enforcement, which is basically what she says in YONAH. She says something to the effect of "I know you can't punish them, so let me do it for you."

Also, didn't she drop out of law school or something??

(Edit: She paused her classes, you can check out my theories on why she did here!)

[prisoner-000]

UNDER - Doltish, 001, Parasite

The chess piece's head has been ripped off and crushed.

UNDER - Obscene, 002, Slut

The chess piece's base has been ripped off, but a small round part remains. Yuno's 'murder'.

UNDER - Incessant, 004, Phony Queen

The chess piece's headpiece, its crown, has been removed. A queen piece. It almost looks twisted in its main body.

UNDER - Doomed, 005, Dissection Pawn

The chess piece's headpiece has been removed(?). Either that, or the figure's head has been removed, while another figure's main body remains.

UNDER - Concealing, 007, Deceiver

Headpiece, base and middle part all ripped apart? Or multiple pieces with a strange fragment piece in the middle.

I think all of these are representative of the prisoner's murders in some way. Yuno's is the most obvious, but Shidou's is also fairly obvious if you interpret the piece above as the body of another chess piece (his comatose wife)? Haruka and Muu I find difficult to crack. Kazui's as well.

deep cover thoughts, or: who is kotoko's victim, really?

ok. so now that we've seen the deep cover mv, it's late but before i go to bed i want to post my biggest thought/theory on it. that being?

this girl is the victim that kotoko is in milgram for, and the murder we see in the warehouse is a red herring.

now. one thing about the prisoners that are grouped together is that each duo appears, largely, to have a direct murder and an indirect murder in it.

haruka is seen directly killing in his mvs; yuno's murder is an abortion, something so indirect many people don't even consider it to be such. muu is clearly seen directly stabbing rei in her mvs; fuuta's victim dies indirectly due to him starting online backlash against her. whatever shidou is doing to his patients appears to be pretty direct, while mahiru's boyfriend seems to have died indirectly due to having killed himself. kazui is in the same indirect boat as mahiru with hinako's apparent suicide; meanwhile amane is shown in purge march to have directly attacked and killed her mother.

with one duo, up until now, having been an apparent exception.

we can see these groupings clearly in the first anniversary art with all the prisoners together:

all the direct murderers are on one side of the table, and their indirect counterpart on the other. all the patterns outlined above, we can see here.

mikoto is on the direct murderers' side of the table, and this makes clear sense with what we see in MeMe's opening shots: as vague as mikoto's mvs can be sometimes, we definitely see him hit that guy with the baseball bat pretty explicitly.

and kotoko? kotoko, as his counterpart, is on the indirect side of the table. this seemed weird, because from what we knew of her murder in harrow... we see her track a guy down into a warehouse and kill him pretty directly. it seems like these two are an exception. but now, we have deep cover, and... are they really both in milgram for a direct murder?

it seems like something bad is happening in this shot, judging by the girl's expression. what do we see right after? kotoko leaving this girl behind, walking past her. she's looking for her next target, and she doesn't have time to play around right now. only... i think it goes wrong. i think kotoko leaving this girl when she does is a mistake, and that her disregard for the girl leads to her getting hurt and dying somehow. after all... the images on the prisoner cards appear to correspond to the murder location. and kotoko's...

kotoko's looks an awful lot more like this than it does like that warehouse.

it seems like this girl idealizes kotoko an awful lot for having saved her. maybe she tries to follow kotoko, but something happens. maybe she gets caught by whoever it is that kotoko is trying to hunt down... and maybe this time, she doesn't make it out okay.

Kotoko's murder isn't what we think it is

Take at look at this here

This is a translation of what it says on Kotoko's phone in Deep Cover( by @ranmaru-kageyama (sorry for not asking first, I had to make this post before my thoughts disappeared). This whole thing is obviously important, this paragraph is the core of this theory.

"The verdict ruled in this case was 'legitimate defense'. According to the university student, she had no choice but to kill the victim after getting into a scuffle with him while he was 'red-handed kidnapping a minor'. The defense argued that an elementary student witness gave a similar testimony, and that this counted as self-defense."

There's a lot to note here so I'll dissect it best I can.

"the university student"- At the point the murder shown in Harrow occurred, Kotoko was still a university student, but by the time she entered Milgram, she had already dropped out. To quote, "I'm a university student, but I dropped out." Now, it's been more or less shown that the prisoners aren't taken immediately after their murder takes place. In Bring it On, we see Fuuta's supposed friends turn on him after his victim committed suicide and blame him for it, In both Weakness and All-Knowing, All-Agony, we see Haruka seemingly be caught by the police. But they're still taken a short time after the murder takes place, since we never see anything that seems like it could've happened more than an hour after their murders took place. I don't know for sure but I'm pretty sure fully dropping out of college takes more than an hour. This implies that Kotoko wasn't taken to Milgram anytime soon after the events shown in Harrow.

Supporting this idea is the fact that it says, "a verdict was reached", meaning she was on *trial*. I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure trials take a long time. Also-hey wait a second- Kotoko's murder here was already judged, wasn't it? That murder had already been given a verdict. Why would Kotoko be on trial in Milgram for a murder she had already been on trial for?

In conclusion, the murder shown in Harrow is *not* the murder she's in Milgram for. We don't know what her actual murder was. We know literally nothing about her murder, especially since Kotoko herself has literally never talked about her murder once. Has anybody noticed that she has literally never talked about her crime? She only ever talked about her ideals; her crime was never directly addressed by Kotoko herself. Maybe she also thinks the one she's on trial for is the one from Harrow.
