this stream was a gift to me specifically because "and then skeppy arrives in a helicopter" is going to be a running joke now and every skeppy mention ever gives me another year of life so

Brings you to get New York bagels and once again will judge you if you something with more than simple cream cheese. “ if the base is good you don’t need more”

Visiting Times Square and he will complain a bit about there’s too many people
Going around Central Park only to make you happy cause that’s his favorite thing to see : you happy
Brings you back to his parents place and he shows you his old streaming / YouTube room

✦ i actually talk about something other than DRDT for once (minor detail analysis)
// spoilers for up to chapter 4 of MDA:RC
you know the drill. (rain code edition)
and yes, i’m actually in other fandoms. i have way too many hyperfixtations. lord help me.
basically, there was a small detail i noticed about a specific character’s mystery phantom in the chapter 4 labyrinth, so i just wanted to point that out and make connections as to what it could possibly mean.
let’s get straight to it! ^^
yes, this is about yomi’s mystery phantom. but likely not in the way that you’d think.
of course, i love the fact that yomi’s mystery phantom form doesn’t have any colorful accents like the others, and i could honestly talk for hours about that aspect—but this post is actually about a separate detail.
just what in hell is going on with yomi’s hair?
yep, that’s what i’m going to talk about. and i’m not flaming him for this wild hairstyle, trust me.
when you look at it, the mystery phantom’s hairstyle is divided into three separate parts:
the left(?) portion of his hair, which is on the messier side and pointing in all directions
the middle portion, which is the most similar to yomi’s actual hairstyle (checked his sprite for reference)
and the rightmost portion, which looks like someone used a straightening iron on it.
in a way, he almost doesn’t look like yomi. all other mystery phantoms have at least partial semblance to their real-life counterparts—especially with their eye-shape and the general flow of their hair—but in the case of this specific mystery phantom, there wasn’t a lot.
though, that isn’t too important, right? it’s just a unique part of his mystery phantom design so i shouldn’t think too hard into it, surely it can’t be anything more than tha—
huh
wait, if this is what i think it is-
…oh.
what’s unique about this moment is that yakou’s apparition(?) appears as if to directly replace yomi’s mystery phantom. which doesn’t happen anywhere else.
which means, there’s a possibility that this cutscene was intentionally created to show that “yomi’s” mystery phantom was a front for the true culprit. (the truth was right in front of yuma all this time, but disguised under a facade. yuma just couldn’t get himself to face it head-on until the very end)
there’s a multitude of theories i can come up with about why they decided to show this, but unfortunately that’s not what i’m here to talk about.
though, if you don’t mind, here’s a side tangent: my main theory is that yakou felt horrible about essentially using the detectives in his crime and couldn’t face the rest of the NDA after what he did; the only way he could directly argue against their deductions was to act as someone else. after his true identity was exposed he had nothing more to say to them, other than a non-verbal expression of the regret he carried behind his back)
okay side tangent over
my point is—if the theory of “yakou hid behind the guise of yomi’s mystery phantom” is true, it provides an explanation for the mystery phantom’s hair style.
after all, the two other “parts” of his hair i described earlier are quite similar to the hairstyles of two other characters.
…yeah. yakou and his wife. it’s not an exact replica of their hairstyles, but the general flow and concept is there.
in a way, this subtle detail is a nod to yakou’s true motive behind murdering huesca—to protect his wife / avenge his wife’s death.
but yakou didn’t want to reveal this and hid it all the way through to the end, even going as far as obscuring his face on the photo with his blood so others couldn’t identify it, and hiding behind the guise of yomi’s mystery phantom in the labyrinth.
despite this “facade,” however—yakou’s true motives behind the crime are still visible. they’re just not up front and center until someone points them out.
god, chapter 4 has reshaped my mental process in ways i can’t describe. there’s so much i still want to talk about with “yomi’s” mystery phantom design (like how the part of the hairstyle that resembles yakou is on the mystery phantom’s “demon(?)-like” half and how the part that resembles his wife is on the “angelic” half), but that will have to wait until later.
for now, take this with a grain of salt ^^
