bit of translation+parsing through the shooting scene

saw someone say they didnt know it was a model gun so yeah. gun's not real guys free my boy he did nothign wrong

so the insomnia mv was edited together in a purposefully ambiguous way, with scenes that are nonchronological or metaphorical, representing fuchi's chaotic mental state.

first there's the shooting

then this shot of a truck driving itself

which then cuts to the seven car pileup

and then transitions to the news story covering it, presumably the next day

translation: indiscriminate shooting with a model gun at shibuya scramble crossing. an indiscriminate crime?

below that: passenger car, truck, minivan etc. involved in seven-car serial collision incident

the date and time is 11pm on the 28th of march, which happens to be 1 hour before what I'm assuming is fuchi's 18th birthday

sidenote: this crossing is literally the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world

anyway the police come for him and he runs for it.

'under arrest: occupation unknown, suspect fuchi sunao (18)'

then there's this sequence of him wrestling for control with his inner child, which is obviously not meant to be taken literally

along with this shot of him tumbling down the stairs into the path of a truck

however, that stairwell is nowhere to be seen in the shot after he's actually been hit by the truck, and if you look closely he still has both shoes on his feet

so we can infer that the whole sequence did not happen in reality

then there's this newspaper from the 30th of march. the headline says 'successive accidents in tokyo'. on the right: 'collision with a driverless* truck' and on the left: 'accident in the same spot as...' (cut off) *literally: in motion with no driver(human), not referring to self-driving technology

the words are blurry but basically the right part describes the seven-car pileup from the 28th again, and the left part describes fuchi's collision with the self-driving truck. the good news is at least the pileup doesn't seem to have killed anyone, with the text describing 10 people with light to severe injuries, and 2 people in a coma.

the caption to the left of the photo says it's the scene of the accident, taken at 11pm on the 29th in shibuya, tokyo

so yeah piecing all that together, fuchi went on a sleepwalking shooting spree with a model gun on the night of the 28th of march, caused a massive traffic accident that injures several people, presumably just??? left?? and went home?? they just let him? i guess all the people ran away or were too busy dealing with the 7 smushed cars. then on the night of the 29th he sees the news on the tv, the police knock on his door and he runs. one mental breakdown and dreamworld sequence later he ends up getting hit by a truck in the same intersection as before.

edit: as some in the notes have pointed out, the truck is reported as 'driverless' because his zingai mr. creepypasta was the one driving it, and it's invisible to most normal people. it's also foreshadowed (represented?) by this shot during the scene where his child self is rampaging.

anyway now he's in jail. rip.

And even after all of that, Ruby still has the same emblem

So at this point I think we need to agree on the fact that this isn't Summer's emblem at all. She gave it up and walked away, just like Ruby did.

But now this is Ruby's emblem. It always has been as far as we know, but now this proves it. The emblem, the aesthetic, everything has always been Ruby's. Ruby more than anyone else in the show is a conglomeration of everyone she loves and looks up to but she still takes it and makes it her own.

Ruby chose herself I'm going to lose my fucking mind

So some of my friends are shooketh by the fact that ranpo is 26 instead of 18-20

And honestly

I think I know why ranpo's 26 (other than the fact he was 14 when the agency was made)

Poe.

Poe's borderline obsession with beating ranpo started 6 years ago, aka when ranpo was 20 & Poe was 22

Ysee, a 6 year obsession with proving he is equal to ranpo would be absolutely fucking halarious if it was something that happened when ranpo was 14

I know that Poe's rivalry is. Already silly enough bc . It's been 6 years. They were in 2 entirely different continents for most of that.

But it'd be completely unable to be taken seriously if it was bc of something from when they were teens

Poe, in a universe where they're both ~ 20: you beat me 6 years ago, so now I've been dedicating my life to proving we're equal!

Ranpo: you... you wasted almost your entire teenage life for something i didn't even bat an eye for... are... Are you okay? Do you need help?

I'M SORRY POE IS 28?!?!

...OMG HE IS HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS

Ranpo would say that hehe. And then Poe would suddenly realize the foolishness of his actions and die from shame/j

They rival skk in their shamelessness. But yesss them being rivals is really funny especially since it's all one sided.

I just found out that there actually cars and buses that were powered by steam but the steamed car got killed off in 1930. While Steam power buses still have morden operations like this one:
