#mizu5 theories

[fromthespinawithlove]

These lyrics have been my favorite since Gehenna came out on English servers I REALLY wonder if they'll have anything to do with Mizu5

[grace-the-ninth]

mizuki oshis how are we all feeling 😊😊

[mimikyuno]

you cannot convince that back in 2020 when mafumafu was commissioned by colopale and he composed cellphone love story/keitai renwa (it was supposed to be niigo’s first single but it was rejected so mfmf wrote composing the future/kuyamu to kaitenmirai instead) he wasnt told ALL of niigo’s rough plotline up to mizuki5 bc what is this and why did the devs give it to mizuena specifically 😭😭 losing my mind fr

[shsl-simp]

you fools it wasnt the saki glue theory it was the mizuki glue theory

[sleeve-sleeve]

Ena5 Theory 😭

So we can see that there are plants to the left side buuuuutttt

The images of the rooftop they are at prior to this event don’t show any plants.

I kept thinking about this and then I remembered that Rui is part of the gardening club.

Rui probably tried to reach out to Mizuki to make sure she was okay after coming out and when she didn’t responded he got worried.

Perhaps Ena visited Kamiyaka High afterschool to try to see if she could find Mizuki, or any hints to where she is. But instead of finding Mizuki, Ena finds Rui and he asks where Mizuki is. I imagine a conversation between the two with Ena being suspicious of Rui after The Incident because she can’t deal with anyone making fun of her friend that has disappeared. But Rui says something about knowing she was supposed to say something but she won’t respond to any texts on his phone and he can’t find her anywhere. Ena notices that Rui is genuinely concerned and tells him that she can’t find Mizuki anywhere and that something bad happened when she tried to talk to her. But Ena doesn’t go into too much detail to respect Mizuki’s privacy. (Something like that)

After Ena leaves Rui knows that Mizuki often comes up to the rooftop, and he can deduct that’s probably where something bad happened. Maybe Rui planted those plants as a silent reminder that people do care about Mizuki, just in case she came back up to the rooftop.

I HAVE A THEORY!!

so we all know how mafuyu's recovering right

and now mizuki is really messed up in a similar way to how mafuyu was in the main story/early n25 events

and the cards are suspiciously similar

example:

and what do mizuki and mafuyu have in common??

1. names starting with m

2. ponytails

but minori also has a name starting with m and she isnt the same so its not that

conclusion: the ponytails are the problem

addition: mafuyu is recovering, if mizuki is following the same path they/she will recover too (which probably also means that another member of n25 will go through the same OR pjsk stories will end by the time mizuki recovers)

[angxliquel]

after the promo vid with Kiersten I can safely say that we’re all cooked

[w0nderhoyman]

ABSOLUTELY LONG AND PROBABLY STUPID THEORY ON THE MIZU5 ALERT!!!!!!!!

I AM NOT UPDATED ON THE STORIES SO FEEL FREE TO TELL ME!!!!!!! I WILL ADJUST AND FIX TO MATCH UP TO MY ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET ME THEORIZE ABOUT THE EVENT AND WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN

OKAY SO in the event title thing the niigo logo is breaking apart. people have been thinking that nightcord will kick mizuki out, disband, or whatever. BUT THEY HAVENT ACHIEVED THEIR GOAL OF HELPING MAFUYU GET BACK HER ABILITY TO FEEL PROPERLY. so i DONT think niigo will disband from her secret, BUT it might be more of "what Mizuki thinks will happen/is happening" after she tells their secret.

STILL TALKING ABOUT THE EVENT TITLE, the text starts to like fade and break down. i think mizuki is going to have a full on mental breakdown, considering her face in the card. also considering one of the letters makes a road of thorns, it's gonna be ROUGH for them.

STILL STILL TALKING ABOUT THE EVENT TITLE, there is a rooftop in the background. we see a rooftop in the bg of mizu's card. it's alllll gonna happen on the rooftop. AND. AND AND AND. You can see a pink butterfly (representing Mizuki) flying down, going down that road of thorns previously mentioned with a brown butterfly (representing Ena) going after her. i think this is gonna be ena somewhat to absolutely accepting mizuki for their secret, BUT mizuki was so scared of telling and overthought the whole thing that she ran away in fear. BECAUSE THAT IS NOT A FACE YOU MAKE WHEN SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR DECISIONS. THAT IS A THOUSAND YARD STARE. but with FEAR.

NOW GOING TO THE CARDS. The fact that Ena's 4* is named (something like) "In The Pained Twilight," i actually DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS COULD MEAN. It could be that Ena is like "why didnt you tell me this before...?" but in SUCH A PAINED MANNER. I forgot what mizu's card is named but WHY IS KAITO HERE?? HE'S THE BLUNT ONE. HE HELPED MAFUYU AND SPAWNED IN FROM KANADE'S RESORTMENT TOWARDS MRS ASAHINA. SO WHY IS HE HERE.

anyways I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE VA'S AND NAKISO'S WARNINGS. im gonna focus more on ENA'S VA because it has an IMPORTANT MESSAGE.

suzuki says "I hope this will be an opportunity to think about what it means to know and face another person." MIZUKI FANS WE NEED TO HOLD HANDS BECAUSE THIS DEFINITELY MEANS THERES GONNA BE A LOT OF EMOTION AND STUFF LET OUT. Ena is the one Mizuki is telling their secret to. Ena will LIKELY be faced by Mizuki, as in a kind of manner of Mizuki being so panicked and anxious that it feels like a stand-off of overwhelming fear of being unaccepted against the reality of Ena being accepting.

AND THEN AS WE KEEP READING DOWN SUZUKI'S TWEET SHE SAYS "We live in a world where we clash more than necessary in an attempt to make things black and white, but depending on the time and position a person has been in, even if they say or do the same thing, their feelings are different underneath. I want to remember this, both as a person and as an actor." OH THIS IS DEFINITELY TRANS. "In an attempt to make things black and white," as in "born boy, always a boy and born girl, always a girl" (probably) "... but depending on the time and position a person has been in..." Since Mizuki wanted to present feminine and her sister helped her out, she is now grateful because her sister helped her greatly, "even if they say or do the same thing," conforming to society, "say or do the same thing" as in follow what the crowd says (even though mizuki literally stands out at their school), "their feelings are different underneath." AS IN MIZUKI JUST WANTS TO BE A GIRL. PLEASE SUZUKI DONT DO THIS TO ME

and the fact that Mizu's VA cried after production and her voice acting definitely means Mizuki herself broke down in the story.

NAKISO. LETS TALK ABOUT NAKISO. TODAYS TOPIC. NAKISO. Their tweet was warning us about realities or whatever BUT THIS COULD MEAN A LOT OF THINGS:

- Ena facing Mizuki's reality of their secret, knowing what it is and how painful it was to even gather up the courage to spill it, after being motivated by seeing Mafuyu move forward

- Mizuki facing Ena's reality of either accepting or not accepting Mizuki's secret.

- Everyone (as in all of us) facing the reality of the dynamic between Mizuki and Ena and how that secret might change everything to our POV

OH MY HODHVAKADNANA

[ru-bwee]

just read the rui bloomfes story and i dont think im mentally prepared for mizukis sekai if ruis was this scary

[purpleparasol]

Furry: One every week

Professor Layton: Announcement of NWOS

I’m genuinely curious. What’s ur fandoms “you had to be there” moment

Examples:

Sonic: the release of TMOSTH and the hype around the third movie

Spooky Month: the post-tender treats fandom, the bob simps and the Candybats era

Splatoon: The Octo Expansion hype and the Splatoon 2 final fest

The Owl House: Hollow Mind. Everything about Hollow Mind.

STUDENT A WAS OUT OF FUCKIN LINE FOR SAYING THAT HELLOOOOO????

[omg-ame-chan]

theory that mizu5 mizuki outfit is foreshadowing downtimer solo mizuki cover it totally is trust me guys this is gonna be true

[emero0]

Ight im analyzing Bake no hana or “flower of transformation” cus its in my brain

Spoilers for mizu5 (obv but heres your warning)

(Lyrics from project sekai wiki)

This is mostly line distribution but feel free to add more

So the first lines are about mizuki (obviously)

Probably about people looking at them weirdly and how they’re used to it — and how they’re cute but its “wrong” its “a sin”

Also this is a music thing but enas lyric “its off” is off beat with the song as well

Then more about mizuki crumbling and breaking sown with their secret because it was revealed before they could reveal it themselves

Next, i find it interesting how every time this lime is sung its by kanade, mafuyu, or both (+kaito)

Which could be in reference to the fact that neither of them were there when everything went down

They also seem to take on more narrator roles like in the beginning

Following this, Ena sings this line every time as well — likely in reference to her not being able to say anything to mizuki and being unable to take back the look on her face when mizuki found her—a face that could be seen aa disgust or “ugly” - “makeup” because its not how ena truly feels

(Which btw—i believe was mainly in part to “oh shit i just found out the secret ive been patiently waiting for before i was told and now i feel awful” and not “oh my god mizuki is trans” or whatever your interpretation of that is considering THEY STILL HAVENT CONFIRMED ANYTHING—which is slightly frustrating but alas we can wait)

Next, either mizuki not wanting to go back because they are tired of running—or even (and im leaning towards this one) they cant go bavk to being a kid, to being “how they were”,

“Blossoming” into this flower, they cant go back and not be trans, theyve bloomed into who they are, even if its “off” and “a sin”

(Im trying not to push trans stuff (NOT /neg) and just look at it as it is but its really hard to see it another way for me /lh —a trans person)

Next, another song thing—when mizuki tells everyone to disappear—they do

No one else sings except kaito, and then when they sing “stay with me” they come back

Then they repeat lines with kaito which could mean something-but it may also just be adding kaito to make it different the second time around because music theory

Nearing the end—this may very well be 1: mizuki not knowing the future and mafuyu-ing into sekai

But it could also be a nod to the player—not knowing the future-and until they do mizuki not showing up in the “real world”

And finally—the curse of being born the way they are, they’ve had enough of running (away from their problems, their mistakes) and have essentially done the game equivalent of —well— disappearing

Overall i really want a full version and i think what we have so far is very interesting—i dont have jpsekai so im probably missing some stuff-but i have seen mizu5 so thats where most of this came from

(Will be avoiding most social media tho cus the arguments over this are—interesting… tumblrs been good so far tho ^^’)

[iceespizza]

more colour theory stuff i guess??? i'm in that kind of mood after i accidentally locked in with that mizu5 fanart yesterday

[pjsk-headcanons]

im srry to ask this but could u plz explain the mizuanrui see/speak/hear no evil thing???? ive tried looking it up on the pjsk wiki but nothing pops up?? is it a fan theory or something?

afaik its more a popular fan interpretation that came about from mizu5. people noticed gow mizurui both had parts of their face covered in a card set (see no evil, path of thorns, mizuki has her eyes covered to represent how she cant truly face anything and constantly runs from her problems; speak no evil, cpdb, rui has his mouth covered to represent how he silenced himself after figuring out no one wanted to hear what he has to say) and an got added to the interpretation due to the thematic parallels (hear no evil, im not sure any specific set goes with "covering ears" but lutf obviously pairs well with this). overall its just showing similarities between the three; this was likely an accident though. symbolism can make coincidences like these

(i do hope they lean into mizuruian parallels though, it would be nice to see.)

MIZUKI IS NOT CIS!!! (I made this for myself)

I just need to keep track of my brain

So, Mizuki is definitely not cis. We've all heard of it. I'm just gonna bring up some reasons why.

First of all, Mizuki's chest in their 3D model is much flatter compared to the other female in the game. Don't get me wrong, you can be a flat woman. However, with all the context we have about Mizuki, I think in their case, it has to do with their biological sex.

They also often use butterflies or flowers in Mizuki's event name thingies. Butterflies and flowers often represent change. Which can add to the change in gender

Mizuki's models when they were younger appear more androgynous or masculine. This was probably due to the peer pressure of to be a boy since it's probably their biological sex.

Also in the Kamiko festival event Mizuki doesn't change due to there being no privacy. A problem most trans people deal with is restrooms or changing rooms. Most of the time they have to go to their biological sex which is bad on their part since to them if makes them feel weird. So though Mizuki definitely passes as a girl they would still have to go to their biological sex, which makes them feel uncomfortable.

Also Mizuki's sex is stated as "?" In the official website. Which give us more of the feeling about their gender and how they're not cisgender.

Another point I'd like to add is that femininity is actually very important in Japan. Looking cute is important to woman in Japan since it's their standard. So being judged for wearing cute clothes would only apply of you're of the male sex. So being judged for this if they were female would be very odd.

Also Mizuki used the Boku pronoun which is often more masculine. However, it can be a more cutesy way too to refer to yourself. Also tomboys use to but Mizuki definitely isn't a tomboy. In recent events they started to use Atashi more which is more gender neutral but still more feminine. Japanese pronouns work differently from English ones so keep that in mind.

Also, about the crossdressing Mizuki theory. Crossdressing is more normalized in Japan so why would Mizuki take is so far just to hide their secret? If they were a crossdresser then they might feel happy about passing but in the end still identify as a boy. Wouldn't they correct Niigo when they use she/her pronouns of then? There's just weak evidence to show how they can be a crossdrssser.

Anyways, so what's Mizuki? Mizu5 is coming so we'll know soon but for now I think they're transfem. Transfem is when you identify with femininity. Not the same as transgender but that's not off the table either. Maybe non-binary or a non-binary gender identity but who knows? We'll find out soon!
