#im sorta eepy atm

by the way, the comments in one part seems to be at around 10 years ago, for some reason? i think its related to the broken clock, but i dont know lol

Many people have pointed out how it may tie into the “time loop” theory based on the book Veronika talks about in her introduction, but I actually think it’s something else entirely. You see how the phrase in the background is “the world won’t change”?

I believe the different years are meant to emphasize David’s philosophy that people can’t change.

If you don’t mind, I’ll use this as an opportunity to register a timeline and the like count just in case it’s somehow important (I don’t think it is, but with this MV, I’m not assuming anything):

“I like that •••••• is a protagonist who also plays the antag-“ ~ 14 years ago, 302 likes

“• and •••• totally swapped places” ~ 13 years ago, 1453 likes

“let’s play spot the komaeda” ~ 10 years ago, 2419 likes

“mm •••• anyone?” ~ 8 years ago, 55 likes

“••••• is like the byakuya/nagito/kokichi of the cast” ~ 4 years ago, 3 likes

“I just hope •••••• doesn’t go crazy and kill in chapter 3. That would be way [too] predictable” ??? (I can’t tell what the number is, honestly) years ago, 103 likes

“••••• will obviously die in ch5” ~ ??? (time is covered by the screen), 24 likes

“Everyone in the comment section is a fucking idiot” ~ 0 seconds ago, 0 likes

I don’t see any relation between the exact numbers and any of the ARGs, or the broken clock for that matter.

However, when paired with the aforementioned “the world won’t change” line, the fact that such similar comments are made years apart seems to support David’s idea that people never change. In particular, the “byakuya/nagito/kokichi” and “spot the komaeda” comments are practically identical; while “hope Arturo isn’t the ch 3 killer”, “David will die in ch5”, and “mm ••••” [mm = mastermind, probably] all fit the archetype of ‘possibly premature theory based on what happened in other killing games’ (didn’t include “J and Arei swapped” because that one’s a bit more of a legitimate theory). The other comment about “Teruko is a protag and antag” shares a sentiment you can find in practically any DRDT comment section of any relatively large Youtuber who reacts to it.

In a way, it’s a lighthearted way to poke fun at the community for always commenting the same things and thinking we’ve got everything figured out just because we know fangan tropes, while also calling out how silly that is in the 0 seconds ago comment. But because the comments in the MV are made in the span of years, they also illustrate the point: “the world won’t change”. The in-universe killing game fans, presumably similar to the actual DRDT community, always comment the same stuff and reach the same conclusions, because they’re all the same and never change.

(Do keep in mind, the story actually disagrees with David’s philosophy, so we’re not actually getting insulted here, just teased)

Hope this helped!
