#milgram s2

[a-star-that-burns-brightly]

Kotoko Yuzuriha from Milgram has a suspicious amount in common with Taco from Inanimate Insanity and I do not know what to do with that information

[carlysky815]

I really hope someone hasn’t done this before

[good-beansdraws]

His ass is not going to be forgiven!!!

[shiro-hatzuki]

guess who improved the innocent sheep and guilty goat logos edit i made like about a year ago. i made them for a gif, but i never officially released them since the edit was bad and scuffed up the logos a lot, especially around milgram's custom script-stuff. hopefully this improved version helps you with whatever milgram project you want to do!

this is a transparent PNG file that's 400 x 300 pixels as a whole, but individually, the sheep is 141 x 141 and the goat is 136 x 141.

biggest ratio in milgram history so far. congrats on the awesome song + mv and in advance for the vote results shidou fans. & good luck tomorrow mahiru fans.

I'm putting 50 bucks on "Kei's glasses will be damaged or just gone in S2 if he isn't A) Dead or B) More wrapped in bandages than a goddamn mummy)"

you're right actually! his glasses breaking or him losing his glasses after being voted guilty was like one of the first details i came up with when i started thinking about everyone's t2 designs. those glasses are supposed to represent kei's habit of romanticizing things and believing that everything is better than it actually is, so him losing them after being voted guilty will mean that he has no choice but to accept that everything is much worse than he thought.

[justhereformilgram]

WHEEE this is my MILGRAM fic about a post s2 trial situation where they all get thrown back into real life and just have to deal with that!

Ongoing!!

October 7, 2024: Chapter 7 posted!

[milgram-en]

YONAH (S2 Kotoko VD English Translation)

Kotoko: You’re rather late, Es.

Es: Kotoko.

Kotoko: What? You look scared.

Es: What have you done? You-

Kotoko: Ahh, that’s right. I apologize for being unable to inflict satisfactory punishment upon Mikoto Kayano and Amane Momose.

Es: Uh- You… [impl.: Es percieves Kotoko as someone close]

Kotoko: I hunted them one-by-one, but I was unable to execute them due to continuous interference from Kazui Mukuhara, who was guarding Mikoto Kayano and Fuuta Kajiyama, and sustaining damage of my own. By the time I charged Mahiru Shiina, Amane Momose was out of time.

Es: Were you trying to pave off Amane too?

Kotoko: That’s right. Since you hadn’t permitted me to do so, I didn’t. But it’s only natural, you know? 

Es: They’re a child.

Kotoko: So what? That kid [impl.: derogatory tone] killed someone, that's why she's here.

Es: I see.

Kotoko: I figured I was unable to go forward with it on the grounds that she was a child. I apologize I let you down. It is simply my deficiency of ability. 

Es: …

Kotoko: I was unable to neutralize Kazui Mukuhara. Do you happen to know how one could… make things a bit smoother—

Es: Kotoko! Do you hear yourself?! You’re mistaken.

Kotoko: How so? I was under the impression that I’m supporting you as your foundation.

Es: Who told you to go that far? I had no intention of allowing you to do that when I forgave you. 

Kotoko: We do what the other can’t do. That’s what a partnership is all about, isn’t it? I only cover for what you can’t bring yourself to do.

Es: What’s so powerful about prisoners hurting each other? 

Kotoko: MILGRAM’s design in itself has made that assumption, I’m sure. There’s no prohibition against prisoners attacking one another. Well, at least your superior assumes this situation. 

Es: Even if that were the case, your actions were unnecessary. 

Kotoko: Good Es. A person who commits a sin can’t realize the severity of their crime until they lose something of their own. I’ve observed dozens of criminals and not a single one rights their ways without pain. 

Es: Enough is enough. This is a conflict in direction. I’m finished working with you. 

Kotoko: Why?

Es: I have no desire to resolve sins with more violent atrocities. 

Kotoko: Is it not violence to restrain a person for an extended period of time?

Es: We have determined that it is not.

Kotoko: What is it about prisons condoning this level of psychological abuse but not physical aggression? Double standard, right? 

Es: That’s nonsense. Furthermore, the one who decides the rules of this prison is… It is my freedom to do so. 

Kotoko: I say the rules are nonsense.

Es: You said you would cooperate with me. If that’s what you want to do, then act according to my intentions. 

Kotoko: I said I would be your fang. Did you forget? I’ll do what you can’t bring yourself to do. That’s it. 

Es: I don’t need it.

Kotoko: Why?

Es: Because.

Kotoko: If instead your stranger of a murderer was violently attacked by your stranger of a justice-fueled human being, would you feel as angry as you do now?

Es: Right now we’re talking about MILGRAM. Whatever you’re saying is likely irrelevant.

Kotoko: Come on, just tell me. 

Es: My answer might not measure up to your expectations.

Kotoko: Is that so? When a murderer gets to be on the receiving end, you don’t see that as just karma? 

Es: Maybe there’s a bit of a nice feeling. So what? 

Kotoko: How is that any different from what I did? 

Es: What? Because it’s MILGRAM. Because it happened in my prison. 

Kotoko: That’s not the real reason, is it? It’s none other than the fact you feel an attachment to the prisoners. 

Es: What?

Kotoko: Don’t you remember? You look at the prisoners like they’re your friends. Maybe at times you look at them like they’re family, like they’re something you’re trying to protect. 

Es: …

Kotoko: Ah～ Can you bring yourself to sever that? Are you really a guard? 

Es: Silence. 

Kotoko: The sins of one’s friends are lighter, punishment is less severe the more you get along. If you like what someone’s heart appears to be—the way they act in your company—, the longer you like each other, the lighter their sin will be.

Es: I’m telling you to shut it.

Kotoko: Keeping your mouth shut won’t get you anywhere. What I’m trying to tell you is that with the way you see and think about things, MILGRAM is merely a good-for-nothing interlude of a prison show. 

Es: Shut up! [Es slaps Kotoko]

[heavy breathing] Kotoko: Violence, right? Hurting a beloved prisoner is considered one. 

Es: …

Kotoko: Heh- Ahahahahaha! Something like that is no good for violence. It’s weak. You’re too weak. You‘re not going to stop anyone with that fragile body of yours. You can’t protect anyone. Go ahead, preach your virtues when you can’t even dispense your own “great” justice. You, in all that you are, are disturbingly defective. [t/n: lacking something in every aspect of being; ex. thoughts, conviction, actions, etc.]

Es: Defective…

Kotoko: If you really want to stop people [sin], crush them. Mercilessly. 

Es: I- I…

Kotoko: I get it. Realistically speaking, this is too much for you to handle. That’s why you have no choice but to need me. [impl.: Kotoko is an indispensable person/instrument that Es has to use]

Es: Fangs to break through stone…

[Es sounds indicating discomfort]

Es: My head–

Kotoko: Is your head alright?

Es: I’m… as a fan, I’m not without fault. I’m… just a warden. 

Kotoko: Is everything alright? Are you okay, Es? 

Es: Kotoko.

Kotoko: Rest yourself here. 

Es: No- Stop-

Kotoko: It’s going to be okay.

Es: Get away… Kotoko.

Kotoko: I understand how you feel. I’ve felt the same way even though I’m in a position of being able to bear the responsibility of overseeing alone. You’re too kind.  You can’t stand to be in a prison that’s built by your own choices. Yet, someone has to pick up the slack. You need a partner. I’ll do the dirty work. 

Es: Do I… look kind?

Kotoko: Does your head still hurt? Get some more rest. I’ll take it from here. The two of us, let’s make a proper MILGRAM. 

Es: I see. That’s right… MILGRAM. 

[Bells ringing]

Es: No. Get away from me, Kotoko. Don’t talk to me so casually. 

Kotoko: What？

Es: I’m.. not in the wrong. 

Kotoko: Es?

[Es hits themself]

Kotoko: What are you doing? Did you beat yourself up? Are you crazy?

[Es sighs. footsteps]

Es: No. I just got back to normal. 

Kotoko: Huh？

Es: Kotoko, I won’t do as you say. 

Kotoko: Eh?

Es: I have been confronting the question of crime and punishment in the way I see it. From your perspective, it may feel like I’m mistaken and inconsistent. That I’m incompetent, unable to find my own convictions. That my convictions don’t exist. It’s as though there’s innumerous people inside of me, cohabitating with all sorts of thoughts and feelings towards MILGRAM and towards the prisoners. 

Kotoko: In its current state, I intend to continue shaking up MILGRAM. 

Es: Even so, I’ve been facing my own accountability on everything I’ve caused here for a long time! I’ve been able to by frantically thinking about each and every one of the 10 prisoners, including you! Those feelings… I don’t consider them mistakes. No matter what sorts of hell may arise from here, I will not run away! I’m not going to leave it up to anyone else. For what it’s worth, it’s my responsibility to grasp the hearts and minds of the prisoners. For that reason, I’m reconsidering whether or not I should continue working with you.

[Kotoko lets out a sigh of air.]

Kotoko: Hah- What a waste of time. It’s always the same. It’s always the same with you weaklings… You all enjoy seeing someone suffer. 

Es: Maybe so. 

Kotoko: You take pride in watching sinners burn. 

Es: I don’t deny it. 

Kotoko: You want it to happen, but the moment it does around you because of your own choices, you start plastering the bare minimum niceties to avoid getting your hands dirty [avoid your own fault and responsibility]. All the time… Always! You’re all fools. 

Es: I admit it. You are the competition. We’re the weak. Maybe that’s how it is, but that’s who we are as of now.

Kotoko: You have no conviction to strive, you make no effort to attain power, and yet you keep talking about righteousness without a shred of consistency. You’re stuck an endless cycle, all because you’re in a position to talk, self-aggrandizing your own abject edicts as if it makes your irresponsibility justice itself. You’re so enraptured in people’s misery, but you can’t even face the truth of your own nature even if it stared you in the eyes.

Es: Whatever you say.

Kotoko: Don’t preach about your righteousness, pretending that you hate evil. Act on it. Trust that your actions will change the world. The world will continue to rot no matter how many people just sit back and watch from afar. If you don’t have the power, don’t tell me who has the authority, Es! I will personally see to it that MILGRAM’s policies are enforced without exception.

Es: You may indeed embody one of MILGRAM’s ideals. I may indeed get attached to my prisoners. I may indeed be an imperfect warden. Regardless.

Kotoko: If you understand that, you can’t seriously stop now!

Es: Still, this is where I stand. This is also my battle. Their current suffering is mine’s as well. Your strength is powerful, you could accomplish many things with it. But MILGRAM is mine. Even if I were to cooperate with you in the future, you will never rise above what you are. I am the king, you are a tool. 

Kotoko: Only if you have that kind of worth. 

Es: Prisoner Number 10, Kotoko. Sing of your sins. 

[mukuharakazui]

you know how in all s1 milgram art where kazui's left hand is shown, we can see his ring? how there is no piece of official content during s1 where kazui does not have his wedding ring on? even when there's barely room to show it in a chibi style for keychain and button merch?

take a look at his s2 portrait.

[kuneko-kokono]

milgram sketchbook pages!! (i think some i havent posted anywhere...

i call these milgram sketchbook "s2" over at twitter just because 1. its easier to locate all the doodles by typing s2 and 2. it stands for season 2... this is the 2nd sketchbook ive posted, again for post organizing.. just wanted to tell that to someone

i think you can tell how much i love deco stickers.. i have like 100 sheets of them they are so fun to stick around pfft

[dearmahiru-archive]

What would you consider your most unpopular/obscure milgram theory? Like a theory you don't see alot of people talk about but you believe

aaa when i mentioned i was more comfortable with receiving asks i didn't think anyone would actually send any. thank you for taking the time though it's just surprising haha

hmm this question has me pretty stumped since my thoughts are pretty mainstream i'd say? i'm not really someone who reinvents the wheel or cuts out my own path.

but! if i had to pick! i think the most outrageous one is that i don't believe kotoko killed anyone directly. i doubt i'm the only one out there but i haven't seen anyone propose it yet. although, rather than any outright evidence it's a combo of strange harrow details + my personal beliefs about the writing behind milgram. it's really hard theorizing about the remaining prisoners now because our current s2 roster have confirmed so much!

(our resident guard dog... so handsome... so cool...)
