#logic route

not the yttd chapter 2 endings being logic, emotion, and the lesbian one

[beedlex]

in the way

[maryfailstowrite]

I have to confess that my first route when playing YTTD was the logic route, NOT because I wanted to vote for Kanna or cared about Sou in any way shape or form, but because I thought that if I made the wrong decision I’d get a game over. So my dumb ass just went to the playthrough I was going to for help when solving puzzles and did what they did. I was DEVASTATED by Kanna dying, and then I went on with the game and it asked me who died and I was like “wait, you could CHOOSE?!?!?” so yeah. I’m stupid.

Lot’s of things to mention here! 

1. Shin hesitates before saying “I’ll kill you.” The three little dots indicate that, but it’s hard to tell if his pause is from the shock of watching Kanna die, or if he’s trying to find words for a new thought process that he hadn’t fully embraced. 

2. Shin saying “It’s all worthless,” is rough. He’s gone through the death game  assuming he’ll die, and at the end finally found the resolve to do so by dying for someone he loves. But that was stopped, ironically enough, because he’s a stronger asset then Kanna. And the people who tore away his choice are the people who he almost began to trust. 

Putting his faith in people, becoming stronger, protecting someone he cared about, trying to escape, it was all just worthless. 

Two More Points Undercut

3. The tragedy of Shin’s character is that he wants to trust everyone. Even the floormasters are people that he hoped were good deep down. But then Gashu takes his own life so his sister will die, and Tia carries out her execution without remorse. He’s shown that he can’t rely on anyone. Not the floormasters nor his “allies.” He’s alone, and all his hope for humanity has shattered. 

But the more interesting implications are that he wants to kill the floormasters as well. He does say he wants to kill everyone “that killed Kanna,” so I think it’s fair to think that he’s gunning for them too. Which...wouldn’t it be a jaw drooping plot twist if he killed Tia? Or even someone as powerful as Meister? And how would it effect his rivalry with Sara if he murdered her Father? So many things could come of this. 

4. Shin says Sara will be first. If that ends up being true, we might play as a protagonist other than Sara for a bit in the final chapter. Which I imagine would likely be Shin. 

This dialogue is so interesting and gives you plenty to analyze. The end of the second main game is so well written.

FOR SCIENCE!!

I had first seen a play through of yttd (Michaela laws) and she did the emotion route (reko/kanna).

I found out that I could just play the game for myself so I started playing from chapter 3A. I decided to skip the recap and just play. I chose the alice and shin route because I hadn’t seen it before.

I pressed on like “oh Sara is kinda fucked!” Thinking that was normal. And then the scene in the classroom happened with ranmaru and I was thoroughly baffled.

And then Alice fucking died and I was sad all day.

3b Spoilers

This is something I haven’t seen discussed much despite having a lot of potential— what��s your opinion on the surviving dummy (Kurumada, Mai, Hayasaka) at the end of the banquet?

It’s easy to miss it, I’d assume in no small part to to the fact it’s not an active choice but based entirely on which coffins you randomly select.

I’m just surprised I haven’t seen a single theory mention this at all. What do you think?

[flamingspud]

Alr, be honest, who did you kill the first time you played yttd?

YOUR TURN TO DIE - CHAPTER 2-2 SPOILERS!!!!

[entowento]

YTTD: 'Goddess of Victory/Angel of Death'

I've been replaying YTTD and one of Keiji's lines to Sara (Chapter 2, Part 2 in Miley's Room) stuck to me:

"Are you going to be our goddess of victory... or our angel of death? / It doesn't sound too bad to bet my life on that."

And it got me wondering whether or not this may be foreshadowing for the events yet to come; in particular, the outcome of the Emotion Route and Logic Route in particular.

Spoilers for all chapters below the cut!!

I think that the 'Goddess of Victory' title will fit Sara in the Emotion Route, and 'Angel of Death' will fit her in the Logic Route. So far, the Emotion Route, Sara is prioritising teamwork and the group's wellbeing and survival, whereas in the Logic Route, she is having an inner conflict with herself as she's having thoughts of betraying the group. Thus, I've assigned the title 'Angel of Death' to her in the Logic Route, and 'Goddess of Victory' to Sara in the Emotion Route.

So what does this mean for the routes?

If this line was actually foreshadowing the future events of the different routes, then from inference we can determine what may/may not occur.

Goddess of Victory and the Emotion Route

Goddess of Victory - 'Goddess' implies admiration, worship, and leadership. Victory, in this context, I assume meant surviving the death game WITH all of her friends (or at least the surviving cast we have currently - Kanna, Keiji, Reko/Alice, and Gin). And we do see this kind of admiration from fellow participants, especially considering Sara has taken her place as the 'leader' of the group. Thus, it can be inferred that in this route, Sara would lead them all into victory. It would perfectly align with the title 'Goddess of Victory.'

Angel of Death and the Logic Route

Angel of Death is easy to define - an angel (messenger of God, holy, good) bringing about death. The contradictory nature of an 'angel' and 'death' implies that in this route, Sara would continue to act 'good'; act as the group's leader, continue her charismatic act, etc. all while bringing about death. And we've already seen this. Using her charisma, she's manipulated Ranmaru to kill the surviving Yabusame sibling. Extrapolating on this, it would imply that the other surviving candidates (Keiji, Gin, Shin) die as a result of Sara's desire to survive.

And while we're at it, I'll go and look at the second part of the quote:

"It doesn't sound too bad to bet my life on that."

This could also be foreshadowing regarding Keiji's fate. While it's pretty speculative for me to be like "in this route they live/in this route they die" because of this line I'm more confident in saying that maybe in Emotion Keiji lives and in Logic Keiji dies as a result of this 'bet' he's placed on Sara. If she becomes the Goddess of Victory, he survives at her side, his trust in her paying off. If she turns out to be the Angel of Death, he dies at her side, his bet lost.

Kanna > Shin there I said it CAN I GO HOME NOW...

[reminiscentrainclouds]

I finally finished playing the yttd emotion route AND the mini episodes (I had only played through the logic route beforehand), and it made me want to doodle a bunch of characters I haven't drawn yet. Except for the top two. I just wanted to draw Joe and Ranmaru.

What I want to know is WHY?

Why'd you say it, Jensen? You didn't have to. You were talking about cooking for fuck's sake! COOKING!! You said you like spicy food-- and that your wife often makes you spicy food.

How great.

How wholesome.

Sure, you kinked it up a bit. You went on to say that she knows how to "spice things up in the kitchen."

Ha Ha

*wink wink * nudge nudge*

And Misha of course responded in his very Misha-like-way with -- "Oh yeah she does!"

So you go "Ayye!" in your trademarked Dean-ish, mock-grumpy tone.

And that was fine.

That was all good, Jensen. You could've left it there, son! You could've gone back to the fucking innocuous topic of cooking.

Go on and share Danneel's recipe. Maybe your favorite spice while you're at it. Or even just go back to saying Italian words in your very Mario & Luigi type accent ... any of that would've worked, my guy.

The world is filled with non-implicating topics!

But NOOOOO .... instead you take a fucking eon-long pause, rub your thigh in the universally known nervous-jackles way, and then you say:

"SHE DOES REFER TO MISHA AS HER BOYFRIEND"????

and then

AAANNDDD THEN

ANNNNDDD THEN YOU SAY

"WHICH IS FUNNY 'CAUSE SO DO I????"

YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT COOKING, SIR!!!

COOKING!

MOTHER FUCKING COOKING!

I think this argument is the most interesting one Kanna makes. Warning for this post: I’m going to be talking about suicidal tendencies. If that understandably upsets you, I wouldn’t read this one.

The first time I played YTTD, this argument swayed me to pick the logic route. At the time, I couldn’t come up with a good argument against it, and I felt bad choosing Shin, who wanted to live so badly up till this point.

But I don’t agree that this is a good argument anymore. Even though I’m still a logic route player for the ✨drama ✨of it all. 

Kanna taking Sara’s card is an action born out of resentment. She couldn’t save Kugie, and she can’t forgive herself for what happened. In her mind, dying is the only way to atone for her mistake. And that belief is why this argument is a cruel one. 

Kanna is arguing here that she was already attempting to “atone,” so Sara should let it happen now. For Sara to vote for her based on this argument is to agree that Kanna has something to make up for. That the sacrifice Kugie chose to make to save a loved one is something she should feel guilty about.  

Things like this are why I love going back and analyzing games. It gives me a new perspective on moments I took at face value on a first playthrough.
