ORIGINAL THEORY VIDEO: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtmBn6-EtZyompc.html

Okay, I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I feel like it’d be interesting if Sara’s plot armour went out the window, and we got to experience being the sacrifice. (or the sage!) I don’t think this’ll happen, but it’d be so interesting if it was what happened!

the biggest mystery is how midori got a teaching AND medical degree AND work at the local ice cream shop... maybe all that minimum wage is what's funding asunaro...

"Nobody is inherently bad". Then there's f*cking Midori.

I really like the Miley is Gin's mom theory for multiple reasons. First is the win percentage. The bottom five percentages have something done to sort of support them. There is Nao and Kugie for Mishima and Kanna (provides them support), the percentages for Sou (make him act for himself), and while it is a stretch, the traitor for Hinako (doesn't really make sense, but that's the best thing I can come up with). This leaves Gin with nothing, and being 3rd last, it makes sense for him to get something. So, it would make sense for the first floormaster to be his mon, helping him survive at least the first two floors. Second is Gin's weird things about him. While he does seem like a nice kid, with big stuff like sneaking back to lower floors, as well as us not knowing his first trial, which has been an important part for characters like Sou and Alice, it would make sense for there to be a secret that Gin is hiding from the group, with the secret being Miley as his mom perfectly fitting that. Miley could have easily told him that she was the first floormaster and will help him survive it. She could have also told him about the secret passage, and explain why he went down there, in order to check up on him. In general, that would explain a lot of Gin's weird things. Third is Miley's weird usefulness to the group. I like the theory in the video of her faking being a floormaster, truly being something like an assistant to the killing game. But than there is the mystery of why she has help the group quite a bit (like showing the percentages and saying Gashu has broke the rules). I feel like the connection with Gin explains it. As his mother, she wants to protect him, which can lead to her protecting the group in general to protect Gin (which leads to her helping the group). I can also see Gin being part of the game another reason why she decided to help, as a way for her to personally help Gin survive. And finally is the importance of his mom. In the story, they have emphasized Gin's mom multiple times, being a big part of Gin. So big that his wish was to protect her. But for some reason, we have never seen her, only having one sketch of her that isn't part of the game that only shows her back. It feels like Gin's mom is purposefully being hidden from the player, which wouldn't make sense, unless it is for a twist like someone we already know being Gin's mom, which Miley perfectly fits for that. All of these reasons is why I really like the Miley is Gin's mom theory, as well as why I think a reveal like this will happen.

I’m so glad you mentioned the Miley Gin mom theory because although I’m not sure I 100% believe it, I’m very sure Gin’s mom has something to do with the story. It’s just always been sus to me, considering his consent form wish was related to his mom living a healthy life but we haven’t seen or really heard anything about her yet… makes me wonder!

Really glad a video like this dropped. It would be such a betrayal of the themes of the game for ANY survivor combination to be objectively ‘worse’ than the other, and agree that people write off Kanna’s conviction way too hard, having done so myself once. I do genuinely think she’ll play some important role in her route, but it would be awful if the game took a look at the group’s pariah, the unpopular guy with a 0% survival rate, and said ‘there is no good ending with him alive.’ Even post 2-2 I fully took for granted that either route would have its way of ending okay. I disagree with the notion that Yabusame is effectively doomed in Kanna route, though. It makes sense to drop the least ‘important’ member of the cast to focus more heavily on concluding the Sou-Sara conflict and generally keep with the tone of Sou route, but there are compelling thematic reasons for them to survive too. Reko’s arc was basically done in 2-1 with a good cap in 2-2, but I genuinely think Alice still has room to grow and develop, and either of them have every reason to survive for the sake of Nao and their lost sibling. Hell even if neither gets anything to do in Kanna 3-2, I also genuinely can’t think of any POINT to killing them off there like the other route obviously did; there it was a culmination of Sara’s darkest impulses coming out, a horrible rock bottom that saw her resolving not to become that person, as well as the cap of Ranmaru’s own downspiral. I guess if the final main game goes through and there’s only three survivors it’s possible, but like you said it’d feel weird for final survivors to be Sara-Gin-Kanna. Regardless, just because a character doesn’t have much left to grow and develop in doesn’t necessarily mean they’re doomed for the sake of it. Keiji, meanwhile, has thrown up death flags basically the entire game long, has been Sara’s most important ally for most of the story, and so, for the Kanna route’s themes of sticking together and persevering through the cruelest of developments, does it not make sense for him to be lost when Sara needs someone in her corner the most? It’s possible to me that every participant who’s going to be guaranteed to die on Sou Route (there will very likely be a good and bad end to both routes) already has, and part of the routes ‘equalling out’ is going to be one last casualty on Kanna’s, one gutpunch. Hell, it even gives Kanna a chance to show her strength as Sara’s ally without particularly needing to invent new literal actions for her. My survivor predictions for each route’s Good End are Sara-Kanna-Yabusame-Gin(+/- Gin or Yabusame if only 3, Gin likelier to die of the two) and Sara-Sou-Keiji-Gin(+/-one of Sara or Keiji if only 3, Keiji far more in danger than Sara but I can see a version of Sou route where she dies). There’s no world where the ‘good endings’ involve 2 survivors or less and we obviously know the max getting out of this is 4 if they don’t want the routes to be fundamentally unbalanced. I can also see both having bad endings where, respectively, Sara or Sou escape alone while dooming everyone else or go through with ‘human and a doll’ in some way.

Personally I think theirs gonna be a HUGEEE focus on humanity ^_^ with Sara’s revelation about her view of the dummies at anzus death and midori seemingly being the sole rulebraker to the “nobody is a bad person” rule I think their gonna in some way delve into the topic of what it is that makes someone human with regards to midori nd the survivor dummy… i also think anzu will have a part to play as she was the ONLY dummy who is permanently gone who hasn’t revealed her secret information !!! The other being mai and it’s highly likely she will be able to reveal it being alive OR she told keiji when they were executing the plan with q-taro…I also believe she will NOT NECESSARILY COME BACK but have some sort of impact because it seems to be a running trend that dead or alive, EVERY character will have an impact on the characters or the storyline, so anzu (having as little screen time as she had) having some sort of influence seems vry vry likely to me… especially in terms of humanity, as her death was the one to make Sara realise that humans and dolls lives should be valued equally :3 I’d be interested to know what anyone thinks abt this !!!!!

I feel like if the Memorandum Theory were true in that full sense, the emotion route (as we've seen it play out so far) would be the Man from the Memorandum's ideal outcome. Sure, the girl loses her best friend, but she gets closure and her two closest allies are still with her, even if it comes at the cost of his (the Man's) own life. 2. I never felt like Gin was a villain, but I was (and to some extent still am) of the mind that he knew more than he let on. Like you, though, finding out his backstory kind of made that theory take a hit. 3. Isn't the drunk dad Gin's stepfather rather than his father?

Regarding Shin being redeemed in the Logic route, I can see a siduation where Sara will have an opportunity to trust Shin. If you choose to trust him, he trusts Sara in return and they are able to escape together. If not, he chooses not to trust Sara and either no one escape or he escapes by himself. After watching this video, I do agree that Shin still has a chance to be redeemed in the Logic route and escape along with Sara and maybe Gin. This makes sense because the only time the cast had a chance to escape is when both Sara and Shin worked together. If there was no route where Shin is the key to escape, it would make choosing logic the wrong choice which I do not feel like that will be the games message. Man I am so hyped for the next chapter!

I'm pretty sure Sara's dad is somehow involved with the game. Because at the start if 3-1 we get a cutscene, where Sara's dad talks about starting the last Main Game. We know, that Sara's father is clearly one of masterminds, probably the next Floor Master after Sou Hiyori. Her mother CAN or CANNOT be involved too, because we see her unconscious at the start of the game. Two possible variants: 1. She tried to stop her husband and was got rid off 2. She was consciously acting as a bait for her daughter, because Sara's dad knew, that Sara will start searching for him and will eventually fall in the trap Also this is, probably, how Kai's betrayal was discovered. Sara's dad ratted him out. Kai mentioned, that he was raised as an assassin, but never killed a person. Protecting Sara was his final test. This way, Gashu wanted to see, if Kai can be trusted. And Sara's dad, actually, was his... "secret prison guard", dare I say. After Kai started showing way too much affection towards Sara, he was ratted out as a potential threat and shoved in the game last moment (he's name is not on the list, that means, he wasn't a candidate, just like Joe, Nao and so on... And he doesn't seem to "weaken" any participants - Nao was there for Mishima, Joe was weakening Sara and so on. That means that Kai wasn't supposed to participate at all.)

Fantastic stuff as always! Really appreciated you drawing attention to the fact Sou lies a lot, meaning him promising to kill everyone is most definitely just another lie he's telling to himself

Oh my gosh what an amazing video! I agree with every point made, and I even wanted to elaborate on one of the theories mentioned in the second half of the video! The "Miley is Gin's mom" theory. I've been a huge subscriber to this theory ever since 3-1b was released haha! Anyway here are some extra points that I've thought about in it's favor. Apologies if I mix up some information, it's been a while since I've played YTTD or YTTS. There was this one line that Midori said (I don't remember when, I just remember frantically writing it down in Google Docs lol) that was something like "And to this day, Gin, your mother is healthy and looking after you, just as you wished!" A part of me is thinking that this is very literal. Gin's mom is quite literally looking after him, even in the death game. Another thing I noticed was how Gin's eyes are slightly different from one another in color. You can see it best during any discussion while his portrait his grey. One of his eyes is darker than his other. Y'know who else has eyes like that? This one might just be coincidence or a coloring mistake tho and it does not hold well on its own. Then I started to think about "what does this mean if it's true?" and started speculating on how it affected Gin's story. I think it'd explain his first trial. His trial could've been one like Shin's, where instead of being forced to do something or having a risk of being killed, he was given information from Miley. Perhaps she revealed herself to him and told him to meet with her after the Main Game, or she gave him reassurance that he'll be okay. Maybe she was the one who showed him the secret passage so they could stay connected. And lastly, and honestly I just kinda thought of this now, is that YTTD has a lesser theme. Definitely not as important as "Everyone is a good person" or "Logic vs. Emotion" but still one that remains in the background. And that is the importance of family. Time and time again we have characters talking about their families and how significant they were to their lives. Obviously, there's something going on with Sara and her father. Then there's the very likely possibility of Joe being the son of Mr. Policeman. There's Shin and how he wanted to meet his little sister. Kanna and Kugie's relationship, Kai's relationship with Gashu and Sei, Q-taro's perspective as an orphan, and so on and so forth. It makes sense for the last part of Gin's story to be about his family, especially seeing as he's a kid. For the other characters (save for Sara) it doesn't make sense to have their 'missing piece' so to speak be their family, as that is not their focus. I also think this is just a good way to connect back to Sara. Two kids who have a parent tied to Asunaro and what it means to their story. Perhaps, if the theory is true, then how it's used and how it's discovered in each route could determine Gin's place in the survivor roster. Apologies, this was very ramble-y! I'm not very good at organizing my thoughts but I really wanted to input my own opinion! Have a great day to whoever is reading this!! :D

Hey, great video! I'll start this comment with something kinda stupid, but, for a while, I had legitimately not considered the posibility of both routes having a "good ending", since most of the arguments people have tend to antagonize either one as a defense for the one they're arguing for, but it makes WAY more sense, considering YTTDs themes and just the games structure, that both could have seperate "good endings", with no "definitive" or "canon" one. Another thing: your criticisms for memorandum theory make a lot of sense! especially the bit with how Joe got the sacrifice and the whole "non-candidates are fated to die" conclusion that a lot of people get due to Gashu's transgression! However, I wouldn't disregard the possibility of Gin and Keiji both meeting their demises during a victim conference and the memorandum still being "fulfilled" in some way, maybe that could happen in the logic route if the player fails their escape attempt? Idk, I just can't see a scenario besides something along those lines where things like the "Sara?" at the end of Island Existence makes much sense (And I can't see why she would've been included if Island Existence was meant to be an AU). Speaking of Island Existence, do you have any theories regarding Rei? I have been fascinated with them and how they could connect to YTTDs story, since they don't serve much of a purpose in YTTS itself and are set up as a mystery. My best theory so far is that they would be the memorandum writer/the mastermind, since they state they have created the simulations and have written about their experiences in a sort of journal (I just came up with this while writting this comment, I'd assume someone else must've come up with this before, but still want to know your thoughts).

If one of YTTD’s main messages is “No one is a bad person” (Which I definitely see) then what are we meant to think of Midori? Is he an exception, and/or the message is “People aren’t always what they appear?” (If it is, I do think part of it is that most people aren’t bad even if they seem that way) Or could we possibly gain more information about Midori that changes our mind? I think Midori is a very important piece to understanding what exactly what role he plays in the message of Your Turn To Die, and I wonder where you think he fits. :)

Mad late to this but just to add on to the miley being Gin's mom thing. I'm pretty sure the Gin AI states his step father is the alcoholic and they were married when gin turned 2, this implies Miley and Gin's father split prior to this meaning she might have changed her name to ibushi and Had Gin before changing her name again. Also I believe in the kanna route Midori mentions their wishes had all been granted, and Gin's wish was for his mom to be happy and be able to watch over him. Watching over him as a gamemaster seems the most appropriate way to put it and her japanese name hoemi and Sue Miley (smiley) are all puns on laughter or happiness.

In fact, I like your theories. I agree with many of them, and I like the way you perceive Shin.

Seeing that my comment is featured in this video, I feel obligated to voice my opinions in this comment section. Overall, I agree with pretty much all of what you had to say. Also, I was also pretty surprised to see my comment in the video and I am happy to see you talking about what I had to say. However, when I first saw you talking about the logic ending, I thought that you were saying that the logic route was inherently better than the emotion route, which, I will admit, did frustrate me a little, but you ended up saying that these are not actually the views that you hold. However, even though you explained your reasoning for your beliefs on this topic, I wanted to explain mine as well. If you remember the comment that I left on your original theory video, you would know that I think that the two routes will end on similar tones. However, in that original comment, I didn't explain the reasoning for this belief: the game's themes. As you probably know, one of the main themes of YTTD is logic vs emotion. This is not a black and white theme. In fact, this theme is incredibly gray; Both, deciding using emotion and deciding using logic are completely valid options. Because of this, I feel that it wouldn't be right to show one of these options as being better than the other by giving one route the bad endings and giving the other the good endings. Instead, I feel like the two routes should show the pros and cons of each decision and how they can both lead to their own good and bad endings. Also, I have mustered enough self control to not click the link in the description. I want to remain as blind as I possinly can. I will not let my intrusive thoughts win.

Amazing video! Just feel like you forgot to debunk a big part of the memorandum theory (at least the version in the video you sited) You mentioned how it wouldn’t make sense for Joe to be Sara’s handicap if the games rigged in her favor, but the theory says all the percentages and balancing stuff is a lie Stuff about how the percentages don’t make sense, specifically Shin’s. He’s super intelligent and tech savvy so he should have a higher chance, they just scared him so he’d be less cooperative and ruin his chances (the idea’s that the mastermind guy DOESN’T want his counterpart to win, cus he never wanted to win at all) More importantly that Joe wasn’t brought to be a handicap, it was to keep Sara’s morals intact so she’d be more like the girl from the memorandum the mastermind guy is obsessed with It just feels weird to me to render the percentage papers invalid since they’ve been so important for the whole game, but what are you’re thoughts?

i really loved all the stuff you talked about with sou! i think hes a very interesting character, and i agree that his character will likely go through a lot more growth, rather than him simply staying out for revenge. however, it really is confusing how this will happen. during chapter 2, he had tried to trust in sara and everyone for pretty much the first time in the whole game, by working with them and helping them to figure out gashu's transgression. but, for me, i interpreted voting for kanna as breaking that trust that had finally been built up. i don't know if i could even see sou wanting to trust her ever again, or any of them really, considering the current survivors in the logic route being everyone who voted for kanna. it's a really complicated situation for all the characters right now, but i do want to see things with sou get resolved. i wish we could have seen a little more development about all the stuff he talked about at the end of chapter 2 throughout chapter 3, but im glad we got a lot more time with the other characters. im sure that whenever conflict about how sou feels comes up, it'll be a really, really big emotional moment for everyone, and i can't wait to see it. sorry if this is worded poorly at all, or doesnt make sense (i'm not really great at explaining what im thinking about stuff like this LOL) amazing video! keep up the great work!

Great video. As someone who said the Sara is mastermind but doesn't know in the twitter, I personally doesn't believe 100% anymore, i was relying too much on Shine, and is pretty biased because it would be something i'd love for Sara (since she's my favorite in this game) but being realistically and with you proves... Yeah probably will not happen, but i will say it, if the mastermind is not the memorandum guy, then is 100% Sara. Don't @ me Btw your explanation in the end really convicted me, but something i thought about the Sara Mastermind: what if she "forgor" who she was (mastermind of asunaro or whatever, something close) and the killing game is something to make her remember harder? Ok is super far fatched, but if this theory is right, i believe will be in these lines.

please be wrong i chose the emotion route and i want gin to live also theres the fact that if there are 2 people left one of them must be replaced by a doll, so that might be important for one of the endings or multiple of them

not really a theory but im hoping for a gin and keiji choice in the next chapter like with greensiblings and yabusames.

Thank you for this video! I love watching YTTD theories/rants/analysis (they're really hard to find on KZfaq, & I think I've watched them all D:)!! ✧

Yeeeeesssssss more yttd content!!!! I think that we could have a Sou betrayal ending, although I don’t think it will be an “official” one, probably more along the lines of the Q-taro me token ending where you fail some sort of requirement to gain his trust or some measure of forgiveness. Personally I think it is possible that we’ll have a surviving Yabusame in the emotions route though, that or they’ll have to have some sort of emotional moment or personal growth (I think if so Alice is probably going to have to get his memories back or smt, no idea for Reko though) Joe is also hella sus so somethings probably gonna happen in that regard Overall I really enjoyed this video and agree with a lot of your theories and reasoning

To be honest, I think Gin was chosen to play because of his autism, which he talked about in Part 3.

Ohh, I love this so much! I love all the characters in yttd, but Sou is by far my favorite so videos like these are always a great pass time for me! As for the theories, honestly they are all so good! One thing I was kinda iffy about since the chapter 3 came out was actually kinda mentioned in this as well, Keiji's wish. While I think that meeting mr.policeman's kid /is/ extremely possible, when I think about it, it... doesn't sound like Keiji. Like yes it does but at the same time, from his confrontation with Midori and his general demeanor, I... don't think he would react that well. I actually have a theory that /he/ is the secondary reason why Sara is in the death game to begin with. What a lot of people ignore is the fact that Sara didn't sign the contract before the death game but takes place in it anyway, because, like you mentioned, it was for her. But Asunaro has rules. And I don't think they would take Sara just like that, and when we ask Midori why, he say, and I quote 'must have been because someone wished for it, surely..?' and I don't think he is lying about that. I think that Keiji was depressed after he killed mr.policeman. I think he was so down, so depressed, he didn't know what to do. But I think Midori knew that. And when he appeared to Keiji with the consent form, Keiji snapped. Because he knew it was him who told him to shot. And maybe, just maybe he asked 'Why? Why all of this?' And Midori, the individual he is, answers. That it was for a game. For him to sign so a death game for a single high school girl /could/ happen. I think that Keiji, being at his lowest, more than forgiveness, wanted revenge. Against Sara, because being so far down, so broken, he could only blame her, because it was /her/ fault he shot. And Midori just happens to mention that they can't get Sara to sign? That the game might not even happen without her after all, and that mr.policeman died for nothing.... I think Keiji wished for Sara to be brought into the death game so he could take revenge. I think that he lost his memories of that, and that becasu he didn't recover them like EVERY OTHER STILL ALIVE CHARACTER (sans maybe Sara), he is going to remember them yet. If we go by your predicted survivors, it also makes sense. In logic route, Sou is going to be the point of interested. He will be the focus. And Keiji might remember, yes, but maybe, just maybe, he would see the logic (heh), and just keep it hidden. And in the end, they escape, but something goes wrong. And Keiji, seeing that there is no other way, would apologize, would tell them it was all his foult and sacrifice himself as his last act of regret. And in the emotion route, /he/ would be the focus. His and Sara's relationship, their allyship and trust that basically ran on fumes the entire time with Keiji kept betraying her over and over (see banquet, second main game, the token exchanges, not saying anything about Mishima A.I . until it almost killed Gin, etc...), despite it being in her best interests. His story would get resolution and forgiveness. Because, for people who staked it all on feelings, what else is there, but to forgive..?

I'm glad that you mentioned the theory of Miley being gins mom I don't see a lot of people talk about it. btw, do you have any thoughts about the theories regarding kai? I'm not sure if you've heard of it there's a theory of him still being alive. I can explain it if you haven't heard of it.

epic video as always and also epic gameplay too

how i love watching yttd theories

super well put together! i'm very happy you took a look at both the logic and emotion routes as i do believe certain topics might not be focused in one path or another. i have no idea how this game will end, i really don't. firstly i've had it in my mind both routes will end in a 3rd main game based on meister's final words in chapter 3 a part 2. i felt like the main game will be the former half of chapter 3b and the latter will be the conclusion and epilogue of sorts. the way i see it, any one of these characters can win alone at least. i see unique endings being given for many different pairings. after all, the threshold for a successful sacrifice is now extremely tight. voting to kill is one thing, but paying attention to the sacrifice might be the biggest obstacle. assuming both routes have a main game, there's 1 guranteed survivor, the keymaster (par for a sacrifice win). and only options for suvivors are tight. i'm also curious to see if the sacrifice might be different depending on route. anyways, something i want to add is this game has more loose ends than we realise. we know 75% of the background (probably) but only 25% of the picture. something i think about a lot is the coinversation joe had with q-taro and kai. this will be important i feel as it STILL has not been bought up again. oh, and, i do feel like there are secrets still to be uncovered in the participants. with joe, keiji and gin still having some what ifs. i have no idea how this game will end. and the possibility of them escaping for some reason slipped my mind even with how obvious that seems for an ending. ALSO i have a feeling the dummy who was saved (or not) at the end of the banquet will be re-powered at the end, just a bonus i think. another thing to say, i genuinely believe it spossible sara might not even be alive in some endings. like, at the current state in the game it's actually mathematically probable that sara could die. for example an ending where sara is voted out, reko-/alice are the sacrifice and kanna, gin and keiji find a way out or something. EDIT: shortly after wirting this i remembered something else i believe is integral to the ending to yttd. the fact that everyone's upbringings were sus as hell. whilst i does sound like somwething out of fanfic i do LOVE the theory that the hades incident is made up of people related to yttd's cast but it does have holes like kanna and sou being related, (would they have 2 related participants or 1?) but it is integral about the whole "have you ever question your upbringing?" thing. too many characters are orphans and at least sara has a KNOWN blood-relative working with asunaro

What you are saying makes so much sense but I just can't imagine Gin dying 😭 😭😭

I was the 500th subscriber!!! I'm really glad to have found someone who likes YTTD and chainsaw man... do u plan on more chainsaw man videos in the future?

My theory (this is barley a theory more of a idea/prediction that makes me cry) is that if you’re right and in the login route Gin lives, Miley will be the one to give us the chance to escape as long as Gin lives (and probably be killed for it) idk I just want Meither and Milley to have a fight! Good(ish) Mom vs Terrible dad it’s all I want 😭

My favorite theory or thing to think about is what happened to Mishima’s head. We’d think it shouldn’t be important but it still hasn’t been fully explained and even had a small callback in the Banquet.

that sonic gameplay was so awesome

Fantastic Video! Im Not Really A Smart Person So Going Along Theories Let Alone Making Them Isnt My Strong Suit. So I Just Like To Watch Theory Vids For The Fun Of It. If Anything Though, Although A Bit Of A Random Wish But I Do Genuinely Hope That YTTD Will Have Like A Bonus Episode Or At Least Story Script We Can Read For What Happens After Each Ending. Especially NAO's Ending. Felt Like After The Full Game Comes Out, A Lot More Can Be Done With That Ending And Nao In General ( Of Course, These Bonus Episodes Should Only Be Accessed After Beating The Full Game So No Spoilers For The End )

Here's my survivor predictions for the routes: (Emotion Route) Sara (I just can't see the protag being killed in an ending, especially since it happened in 2-1 with Q-taro and that was just a game over) Kanna (We killed the one guy who could actually help us escape to keep her alive. If she dies, it'd disrespect our choice harder than the banquet disrespected the 2-1 choice) Alice/Reko or Keiji (I really hope the remaining Yabusame doesn't just get killed off like a second thought but just having Keiji and Gin die in 3-2 is way too predictable. Also I can't see both kids surviving so this being the choice makes sense imo) The remaining doll (This refers to either Mai, Kurumada or Hayasaka btw. I can see this being determinant since they can be destroyed pre-banquet. I just hope they aren't left behind as they can still offer stuff. Plus, 3-1 keeps bringing up how the dolls matter so them being forgotten kinda goes against that message.) (As for Gin, I can see him being the sacrifice in the main game. It could allow for another ending like massacre but less awful for the characters. (Logic Route) Sara (Refer to Emotion Route) Shin (I can't see him dying tbh, he's way too integral to Logic Route) Keiji or Gin (Maybe it's a little predictable but there's not much I can do with 2/4 characters getting immunity. Besides, Sara choice between her two closest allies being delayed instead of prevented will still hurt so it's fine. This choice could also determine how Shin acts. If Gin is killed, he could see that as the strong once again killing the weak. I can't see him and Sara reconciling on this route but the three would still escape. However, if Keiji is killed, this could lead to Shin and Sara making a start at reconciling. I doubt they'll become friends but they could still work together for escape.) The remaining doll (Refer to Emotion Route)

I do believe that the emotion route will have the main game taking place due to Sou not being here (Wierdly) resulting in Sara to get the sacrifice, either you would be able to lie and escape thanks to the role or just serve,as a sacrifice. On the Shin route however (My first route) i have no idea what could ever happen but it wouldn't surprise me for Shin to be the only one remaining at the end of the main game if it take place, Sara picking the sacrifice Gin being the sage Shin the key master and then Keiji a commoner. A main game in the logic route would also be intresting as to survive the game litteraly all votes must be to the same person, which result on someone voting for themself to prevent the sacrifice draw. In any case still hoping the best for any route and it would be awfull to see a route less worked on, which will surely not happen

great theories! liked your explanation for the joe AI, I strongly believe that's keijis wish and those points tie together well. sorry for the long comment in advance... I'm very much a believer that miley will end up turning on asu-naro one way or another. it's been hinted at through dialog in chapter two between keiji and sara when discussing the possibilities of kai and the concept of a traitor inside of asu-naro, where keiji says "Could be interesting if Miley was related to this, though." there's also the deleted scene between shin and ranger where he says "Anyway, Hoemi was too indulgent, letting you have such a dangerous item as an extra service... / Looking as if she's on the same side as you guys... Ahaha." if one of the floormasters turns, miley has the most motivation from her recruitment file and just works best from a storytelling POV. I've got a running theory safalin did some trickery in chapter 3, I think she may have tricked qtaro. from what we see he doesn't seem too severely injured by mais stab, his sacrifice comes out of nowhere. we know safalin hates the banquet (although her reason is unclear and I doubt it's just because of what she's said), so I could see her doing this to mess with it. when qtaro is recounting his trick, safalin is mentioned repeatedly and from a writing perspective, it almost feels like a way to get it stuck into our minds that she was involved in this. she does tell us in chapter two its dangerous to trust her, "It's for your own good... that you don't assume we can understand each other." so that would be a nice foreshadow warning. one last theory, I think ytts is a post sole survivor sara ending. I think the other person running this simulation is safalin, hence the island's connection to her office. the point of the simulations is to relax her, and to cope with the trauma of losing them. this once again ties to the island background which safalin specifically describes as a calming environment. not too confident in this part, but perhaps the reason the characters are based on the very first time we meet them is because sara has used the memory machine to forget the bad stuff that eventually happens. if the memory machine isn't involved, it still kinda works she's running this with safalins help, she would be the one to erase all the painful memories as we know she likes to do.

You didn’t mention the Yabusames in this video, but I feel like the one who survived will definitely make it to the end. I think that especially Alice has some more room for development and I’m curious what you think. Also, do you think we’ll get dolls of Kugie or Megumi in the final chapter? Personally I think it could be really interesting, particularly Megumi

what you think about the hinakos

this is so random but i love how you sound kinda like jinkx monsoon.

Midori was definitely the first survivor of the death game

I really can’t wait to see how Q-taro would have some relevance as the game continues.

7:45 the reason why mastermind were must include Joe was that with him (or with memory about when he died) Sara would be a selfish bitch and a prime example is Shin's route where Sarah doesn't remember Joe and Sarah manipulates Ranmaru into killing Ryoko or Alice. And Mastermind wanna bring back the version of Sara that cares about other people...

Will yttd chapter 4 release or is it like, cancelled?

How come you don't mention Alice/Reko during the final roster of the logic route?

KGOkev server people, it is me. .ihopeyouhaveagoodday

argument against point 1 the man who's views most align with her's is sou, sou without the four papers, and sara without jou are the opposite of eachother, sara become's the current sou, and sou become's the current sara i believe in the memorandum both who kanna is replacing and who sou is replacing died, however due to gashu's transgression, nao ended up dying instead of kanna the reason kanna is a girl is due to sou's wish, as he did not have a younger brother arguments against point 2 the mastermind wanted jou there, so jou is there. the argument about jou and the sacrifice makes sense. i think it has something to do with the conversation between jou and kai, as kai 100% told jou that he was her stalker, and much more information about the death game, perhaps that unless jou had the sacrifice the game could not go as planned, i'm not sure this entirely works, basically just speculation, however this brings me to a theory i have about the sacrifice card it wasn't in the simulations if the sacrifice was in the simulations, it would make sense for the win %'s to be greater than 100, yet they aren't, and the only 2 people to have died to the sacrifice are non-canidates, and there likely wont be a sacrifice in the 3rd main game due to the lack of people, although it would be possible the sacrifice simply has 1 vote. for point 3, i don't really have much, and this goes against my own previous theory of who sou represents, but kai's fear of sou, but also respect of his ability to escape, makes me believe sou could be the writer of the memorandum (represented). personally i think keiji is the rep of the writer, but that's just me mr. chidoin-meister i believe in what that comenter said, however i have one very importantthing to say about it it won't work meister is fully wrapped in some sort of paper, even his eye's are covered, there's no reason for this except he want's to hide his true form now obviously that could be that he is sara's dad, however that makes little sense to me due to a combination of evidence 1. the belief of mastermind = survivor = sara's dad, as i do not believe meister is the mastermind due to 2. anzu's survival rate, this is likely as a replacement sara, as she doesn't have the 15.5% survival rate, however she is still a 17 year old high school girl 3. meister did not hesitate to kill the anzu doll, which i believe shows he is not the true mr chidouin, he likely has had the memory's of the original 17 y/o girl completely removed emotion route ending gin and kanna die, doll-q-taro keiji sara yabusame and the remaining doll manage to escape due to miley's anger over her son i don't think this will be a bad ending, however i do believe it will be emotionally brutal, i think it will deadass be a brawl, if you look at that roster of characters it would make sense that's how they escape, likely gin is the sage and kanna is the (1 vote) sacrafice, the dolls don't participate in the game leaving gin kanna keiji and yabusame to vote. meister will declare that if the sacrafice is voted for, the dolls will also be killed, this convinces the voters to not vote for the sacrifice, and adds another part to the dolls vs humans stuff. your turn to shine likely, they were able to get the ai's for the non-canidate's by using the info they had on them to reverse make one, but it took enough time they couldn't make them for chapter 2, jou already had one, they unquestionably had enough info about kai to make one, and nao could have had one made about her during the game, the other non-canidate's don't have a.i's, the reflection of the death game to your turn to shine means it's almost certainly taking place after the death game if it is canon, so yes i believe a bad end sara is the one controlling the island escape, not a doll sara, you've changed my mind on that. also i would be pissed if there's no way to keep the yabusame you saved alive, that's just poor writing, pissed me off enough in the logic route, if it happens in the emotion route without a signifigant reason i would consider it the worst part of the game's writing by far, ranmaru's lack of screen time has already annoyed me due to it making him feel like a half character, where he either kills the yabusame or says he want's to replace himself with jou, and then pretty much stops being a character i do not believe the first thing you think of when you see that sprite is what that really is, although i will not give any more details for obvious reasons
