Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #the prison dimension is horrifying on its own #add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering? #god I can’t imagine how scary that is #Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there #it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo #personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension #so it’s a prison in all ways #but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all… #Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really #because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope. #to smile #nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him #and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual #one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that #should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination #I’m unwell about this family #actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities #but to their relationship to family and love in general #kinda like love languages in a way #Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe #Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind #Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible #and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway #like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home #even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there #and that’s enough

Happiness, Sadness, and now Anger?

I've been discussing with friends that this upcoming Strawberry Floormaster Lady could have an emotion pun name--an "anger" name to match Sue Miley/Hoemi's happiness and Tia Safalin/Hannaki's sadness. If Nankidai continues this trend, he'll probably start her name with an "H" sound too.

This theme would also match how our Obstructor Maple cycled through three emotions, one at a time. Happiness, sadness, anger.

I like the idea that the prominence and fates of the three floor master women could represent which primary emotions Sara is feeling. In the beginning she is happy with Joe; in the middle she mourns him; in the end, she's tempted with revenge...?

All three women have survived to the final chapter, so if they each symbolize an emotion, their fate could reflect the tone of the story's ending. Maybe Sara could kill her chance of happiness (Miley) in favor of revenge (Strawberry Lady), or something similarly symbolic.

Do you ever think about how Sara's and Shin's color palettes parallel each other. Specifically how both of their designs mostly consist of tertiary colors.

They do have some non-tertiary colors sprinkled here and there (like Shin's random primary yellow in his belt and necklace) which I personally don't understand but okay whatever, but the tertiary colors are the most important in both of their designs.

I don't have a conclusion for this post I just think that's a neat detail.

(I know my color wheel is flawed but I hope it gets the point across)

#your turn to die #yttd #sara chidouin #shin tsukimi #and i do think that their overworld sprites illustrate my point better than their normal sprites because #if im being honest. shins colors in his normal sprites kind of suck im sorry #i think his pixel sprites have better colors color theory-wise #so that's why i chose them for the picture. and also it's easier to colorpick

DEAR YTTD FANDOM, I PREDICT THAT KEIJI IS LYING TO SARA AND WILL BETRAY HER TO SOME EXTENT IN LATER CHAPTER

here's my supporting evidence: (see images)

#yttd #your turn to die #yttd theory

[midorihiyori]

u said ur not a proshipper and stuff but isnt soushin a proship tho.... abuser x victim>???? and shin saw midori like the older brother he didnt have../??? /gen

Originally I wasn't going to respond to this, I thought it was funny so I giggled at it with my friends and I thought that would be it. But I realized this is a wonderful opportunity to write a really long post disproving these theories that this fandom insists are canon. I’ll start by debunking some common arguments. I put a lot of effort into this and am actually using proper grammar IM SERIOUS GUYS!!! This is really long by the way

“Shin saw Midori like an older brother”

I’ll get this argument out of the way first because it’s weak, it’s a common trope in media where relationships are described as familial to show the closeness of the relationship. Even so, Shin probably said that because he looks up to Midori and respects him. If you just want to see them as having a brotherly relationship, that’s fine, but this argument doesn’t stand for calling Soushin proship.

“Midori groomed Shin”

I honestly have no idea where this theory even came from. Some people say that Midori preyed on Shin and that he was much older, while it’s more likely they are both in the same age range. Shin is canonically 21-22 years old while Midori’s age isn’t stated, but since they were in highschool together it can be assumed he wasn’t all that much older than him. Not saying you can’t headcanon that they aren’t, but you shouldn’t push your headcanons as canon to insist Soushin is proship. Midori changed to Shin’s school so that he could get his signature but he also became his friend in order to make the Shin AI. He could have easily just been a highschooler himself. Midori is an Asu-Naro agent and from what we know about them they have used underaged people for labor (eg. Kai, Sei, Hinako). If the common theory that the silhouette in Kai’s mini episode being Midori’s mom is true, it’s probable that he grew up similarly to Kai and Sei, being made to do Asu-Naro’s bidding as children. It’s not like you need the credentials of an adult to give out contracts. You could also make the argument that Midori must be older because he worked as a nurse and school counselor while trying to get participant signatures, but one could argue Asu-Naro has the connections to get him in such a position without schooling or even have higher levels of schooling to get the education in a shorter timespan. But I’m getting off topic. Many people who say Midori groomed Shin say that he groomed him into believing he had to leave himself behind and that is why he took on Midori’s persona in the death game when it’s clearly not the case in canon. It was Midori who wanted Shin to be the best version of himself.

“And you… should become the person you want to be, so you can meet them proudly.”

This dialogue is part of Shin’s lost memory, where they are talking about Shin’s wish to meet his lost sibling. It’s one of the only shown scenes of Shin and Midori pre-canon, and he’s clearly being supportive and wanting Shin to be happy with himself.

Here ‘???’ is the shadow version of himself, he is having an inner conflict of interest. Commonly referred to as Shadsou, is the actual reason Shin took on Midori’s persona. What Shadsou is exactly is ambiguous but generally it’s the personification of Shin’s devil's advocate. People often assume that Shadsou is another consequence of Midori’s impact on Shin, as if he isn’t his own character who can make his own decisions. This fandom often waters down his character and infantilizes him like this.

“Midori is Shin’s abuser”

Again, another headcanon people insist is canon. The reality is that Midori and Shin’s relationship is ambiguous and it hasn’t been explored much in canon. Soushin can be explored in many different ways because of how vague their relationship is. Saying that Midori abused Shin is an unsubstantiated claim so it’s just a headcanon, not saying you can’t have that but again, you can’t be claiming it’s fact.

This is the one cg we have of Midori and Shin pregame btw:

This is the cg where Midori is encouraging Shin to be someone he’s proud of. Not very abusive guys.

“But it’s implied to be abusive”

This is usually the evidence they use for the implication:

“He’s… a scary friend of mine…” 

Midori’s mannerisms are scary. It isn’t just Shin who thinks that he is, he’s one of the main antagonists of the game. Shin finding Midori to be scary doesn’t mean he abused him.

“Though I learned a lot of things at his house…”

It’s insane to me that people use this as evidence but, this is clearly about Midori teaching him how to code. People claim that it has deeper meaning but really it comes down to how you want to interpret it.

There are multiple points where Midori is shown to feel affection in strange ways. It’s possible he didn’t understand ordinary forms of affection, similarly to Kai who was deprived of affection growing up as an agent. Midori’s odd mannerisms towards Shin could just be how he shows his love. awww. isnt that so sad

Many people call Midori Shin’s abuser and claim Soushin is proship without proper canonical proof. A lot of people who kin Shin project onto their relationship and insist that it’s abusive because their bias rooted from their own trauma and experiences clouds their perception of Shin. This happens along with people infantilizing Shin and excusing all of his actions by blaming the supposed ‘grooming’ or ‘abuse’ he experienced from Midori. This is just a common problem with mischaracterization of Shin and Midori by the fandom. It’s gotten to the point where people like this dear anon believe these things to be true!

Then there's the people who ARE proshippers and insist that Soushin is abusive or pedophilic because they want it to be and are looking at them with that lens of thinking. These people greatly help spread the idea that Soushin is a proship, making it much harder to discern canon from fanon when much of the Soushin content is by these people, specifically outspoken adult western fans that praise proship and advocate out for Soushin being problematic, that's what the general fandom now sees it as even though it’s just not canonically happening.

At the time of posting this, Shin’s minisode has yet to come out. I’m sure that once it does it will give a much clearer view of their relationship, maybe I’ll have more to say then! For now, that is all I’ve got for you tumblr.

#had to get serious for this one im not messing around with you yttd fandom #most of what people think in this fandom is just sheep mentality about soushin so #i doubt this will change much of the fandom perception because i am simply dead midori shitpost blog but.... maybe a little #yttd #soushin #your turn to die #midori posting #anon ask #kimi ga shine #shin tsukimi #midori yttd #sou hiyori #yttd theory

[yourturntofnaf]

just to throw a prediction out there, perhaps these two are route-specific.

the rubble behind the first one is very reminiscent to that of the fake exit at the end of the victory stairs. at the end of only the kanna route 3-1b we are back at the top of those stairs in the victory room talking to Mr. Chidouin.

the knife is very reminiscent of the dream where shin gets stabbed by sara, and the only way this can be fully referenced again would have to be in the route where shin's alive.

#your turn to die #yttd theory

[prodigal-explorer]

i have a theory about keiji from yttd

i think that he's so "obsessed" (for lack of a better word) with sara because somehow, some way, whether it's just plain intuition or some sort of inside knowledge, he knows how important sara is to the game. he knows that somehow, it all revolves around her, and i think keiji is sort of using her as armor.

keiji knows that sara probably won't die, especially after seeing how high her survival percentage is. maybe he thinks that if sara stands in front of everything, there's a higher chance of everyone coming out safe.

idk, it's just a theory. to me, it's just strange that despite keiji being like at least 10 years older than sara and being a lot bigger and stronger than her, he still allows and even ENCOURAGES her to go into danger head on. it makes me wonder if he understands that to some extent, she's protected in the death game by asu-naro compared to the other players.

what do you guys think?

#yttd #your turn to die #yttd spoilers #kimi ga shine #shin tsukimi #yttd shin #yttd kai #kai satou #yttd theory #yttd analysis

[frenchgremlim1808]

We already know the ending of the game, at least one out of all them.

So for once i'll write an actual full analysis instead of blabbering about greenbling for the 900 time

One thing that i always thought when playing ytts was what is the purpose of that game in game. Because in reality this game was created to expand upon the characters of the game we lost early and give them a time to shine. But what is the in game reason for ytts ?

If you didn't play it please do because this game is pretty good and the interaction are either hilarious or very sad. Especially if you are a kai or mishima fan this thing is gold for you. But also play it before this because i think that ytts gives us not only one give us blatantly one the endings of the game in front of our eyes, but also give us vital info for the rest of the game.

okay got it then let's start.

The game is a simulation full of ai of the characters. There said it. we can see this in the tested one ending and the sunnies ending. In the tested ones ending we see this

This isn't Sara, at least not the current one. This is a Sara who won the death game and became the leader of asunaro. The scientists in the room fear and respect her like a leader. This is the "perfect Sara", ultimate sara, the one that asunaro gro*med into becoming after the entire death game. It doesn't make sense for her to be a past Sara. This simulation goal isn't to make the percentage, no, it's for sara to watch the cast all together and happy. And compared to what people say her expressions and words do not strike me as an "evillllll" sara that much, more like a broken one.

All of this screams that sara knows that watching this hurts her, but, she still wants to see them again and again, even if it breaks her heart, again and again. That's the ending she wanted, her dream ending. But this isn't reality. Also her expressions doesn't scream evil but more so pain

Look a her eyebrows, her eyes despite the fact that there is nothing inside, you see the pain. If she smiled or something then yes evil sara, but no she's in pain.

So what does this says for the future of Sara and the game itself:

-In at least one of the endings ( probably one of the endings for logic routes), sara will be the sole survivor and asunaro will win. Le'ts call this ending the asunaro ending. Sara will become the leader of asunaro and continue on the organisation.

-But this also tells us that the manipulation that asunaro did on sara since she was a child to make her this unloving killing machine capable of doing anything for survival didn't work. Because she still misses and wishes for a different reality where they could have all survived together and happy away from all of this.

My favorite part about this is that technicaly even in the ending where asunaro wins they still lose which is great because fuck them so hard

Naomichi Kurumada's Unwavering Spirit and What it Means to Survive

While I understand why people talked more about Sara's minisode compared to Naomichi's, I feel as though many overlooked a few key aspects of his episode that---at least for me---finally convinced me of not only his character but his survival rate.

I will be going over the main game and especially focusing on chapter 3. Additionally, it's been a few months since the minisodes' release, so I will not be marking as spoilers, but I will be putting my analysis and theorizing below the Read More.

If there's one thing that bothered me the most when playing through YTTD, it was the survival rates for all the candidates. I feel as though most are relatively reasonable, and could be thought out fairly well.

There are a few on here I would contest, but those will be saved for a later analysis. My biggest concern here would be Naomichi's. He barely beat's Keiji's by a whopping 0.4% but I personally feel like something is amiss here. There's the very obvious fact that Naomichi can singlehandedly beat every single person on this list on a 1 on 1 fight (He supplexed Qtaro for crying out loud. No one stands a single chance). However aside from this I do not think it would warrant such a high survival rate.

Think about it for a second. Do you really think, if Naomichi had survived his first trial, that he would've had a good chance of beating the death game? We know from not only his minisode but throughout moments in chapter 3 that he's not the brightest. Obviously he's not dimwitted, but we know from the game that he is rash, quick to action, and easily angered. He does not fully think through his actions before going with them.

Case 1: The Maple Fight

Throughout this fight, we must not physically engage with Maple whatsoever. She is a complete and utter danger to the group, with no current way to defeat her the only option is to reason with her. During the fight, whenever we choose Naomichi to act, we see him agonizing over the fact he just can't straight up fight her. Naomichi is a man of action, we know this as from his minisode and his career as a boxer, he thinks of actions as his way to interact with others and engage in conflict.

That's why at the end of the fight, when Sara is unable to reconcile with Maple and the group is at a complete loss as to what to do, he doesn't think twice to go up and try to crush her head. He reasoned that, since her attacks come from behind her, this close range means he's not in danger. He doesn't stop to consider the fact that she might have another means to attack, or that she could even lock him in a similar move he did her using the black tendrils coming out from her. The entirety of this time he's been itching to just get in and deal with her the way he knows how to, and ultimately pays the consequences for not thinking it through.

Case 2: Revenge against Gruusem

During Naomichi's early career as a boxer, we find that he highly respected and admired Kobushi, the mentor that introduced him to the sport. After witnessing the defeat of his fellow boxer, Naomichi was understandably upset. Although it's after beating the boxer that incapacitated his mentor that something in Naomichi was set off.

Put yourself in Naomichi's place for a moment. You have just defeated the boxer that had brutally beaten the mentor you had looked up to since you were in middle school. A mentor who had teased you about being first rate and second rate fighters, something you've already internalized. A mentor who previously had beaten you and showed you up in power. You have internalized these ideas of being strong and weak for years, and now, just now you are riding the high of a fight and the context of it. You are a hot headed, quick to action punk with adrenaline coursing through your veins and anger deep in your heart.

Naomichi only takes a moment to think, but he does not think over whether he should or shouldn't. He thinks only of his next action. He makes the fight personal and beats Gruusem without a second of hesitation. This goes beyond just being an unsportsmanlike act, this is downright cruel and unjust behavior. Naomichi loses complete control of himself and as a result, completely cripples someone.

Though, it's during this act that we get what convinced me of Naomichi's character and survival rate. The lines that follow him beating Gruusem go as follows.

This kind of line gives me chills, specifically coming from him. Because as of before the episode release, I refused to believe he had the second highest survival rate. And to an extent I still do, but I'll get to that in a moment. What's important here is we finally get to see the unwavering spirit of Naomichi's strive for strength and power. He is fully bought into the line of reasoning that the strong eat the weak, and that by being strong he is in that position of power. This line makes it so interesting that he gets paired with Kanna/Shin, two candidates who are known for their weakness. Additionally, this line implies that he saw himself as weak before, which is why he so urgently and passionately sought the path to strength. If given the right push he would absolutely overpower anyone in his way, hence the nickname Convertible of Destruction. How right this nickname would be.

However, despite having such a strong spirit and me being convinced of his chance in surviving the death game, I still refuse to believe he'd have such a high percent. As proven in my two cases, Naomichi is a rash decision maker. He wouldn't be able to fully rationally think through the schemes and lies other characters would enact. He would respond as he normally would, with action and threats. However, I refuse to believe that he would, if given the chance, get away with fighting and beating the other candidates and participants to incapacity or death. If the Memorandum Theory is to be the route Nankidai is taking, there is no chance Naomichi would've gotten away with violently winning the death game. The death game was set up so intricately and carefully, the floormasters are all there for a reason. Even without considering the Memorandum Theory, it's difficult to think that they'd let him win like this. For as much as Midori endorses a bloodbath of a game, in reality there could be no such case. The death game must be played, the death game must adhere to the strict rules that have been put in place.

Which brings me to my final point. The survival rates for all the participants have been toyed with in some way. This isn't a new idea, as the Memorandum Theory suggests the same thing. I would like to suggest that rather being some sort of interference either with simulations or otherwise, it was a simple case of switching around the rates. There's the possibility of some being deliberately written wrong, but I think it's more likely the case that a few were switched. Given everything I've laid out here and what we know in canon, I personally would assign Naomichi a survival rate starting anywhere from 7% and as low as 5%, so putting him in the range from no higher than Mai Tsurugi and as low as Ranmaru Kageyama.

Of course all this is speculation by now, but in my mind it makes sense. There are a few outliers that help my reasoning with this, but as this is a Naomichi centric post, I'll keep that to their respective analysis. Perhaps when the final part comes out more will come to light and my theory will be entirely proven wrong, but we'll have to wait until then.

[beforeitrains]

I just had to illustrate my crackpot theory about Miley saving Megumi after the First Trial and giving her prosthetic doll limbs. Would be so awesome to see them scheme against Asunaro together. :D

#yttd #your turn to die #kimi ga shine #megumi sasahara #sue miley #bitrs art #yeah so not only do i think up ridiculous yttd theories #but now i also illustrate them #also i understand that asunaro doll limbs look exactly like humans' counterparts #but i like drawing ball-joints so that's what i gave megumi

[dostyaak]

[YTTD Spoilers/Theory] So a few days ago I was in a Discord call with my friend, and we started doing a "YTTD Character Tier List", and we got stuck on Megumi for a few minutes

We were discussing whether she was a good person or a bad person based on the little to no information there is about her

I mean, of course she is a bad person, with the whole thing about being avoidant when talking about "Why Mr. Redhead Policeman was fired?" and the "background deal", but we were discussing if she did that beacause she wanted to or if someone forced her to it, if she had ill intentions or not

Now this is where the fun begins, my friend's theory below:

He shared a theory he have about Megumi's wish and how that's directly connected to Redhead officer's death, the theory being that: Megumi's wish was to kill him.

He explained that maybe when Redhead discovered "the secret dark side of pollice", Megumi didn't like that and promptly fired him, but getting him out of the force wasn't enough since he could still somehow find more information about said "dark side", which led Megumi to make a deal with Midori, to kill Redhead with the Asunaro vow (I guess some could argue that we're making a bit of a stretch with a theory like that, but still what isn't a stretch in a game with almost no information)

Supposing we're right, this part of Megumi's victim video could mean 2 things:

She was following the demands of another higher up, leading to her wish with the Asunaru vow being to kill Redhead, which means that the isn't that bad

She was straight up lying in hopes that if pretending to be a victim herself, Keiji would give in and save her, which means she was a bad person all along

My thoughts? I'll go with 2, I like the ideia of her just being an asshole, we need more mean women in this game! /j

Jokes aside, it's the idea of "Good cop/Bad cop" and "The only good cops are fired cops", good cops are those who aren't on duty anymore (Keiji) and bad cops are those who are still on duty (Megumi), since she's already a bad cop for still being on the force even after knowing about the "dark secrets", why not commit to the fullest and be a bad person too?

Everyone (And by "everyone" I mean the participants) in this game is "an asshole but with somewhat good intentions", I think it would be cool to have a change, to have a character who was a dick with ill intentions all along

Anyway, I would love to know what you guys think about my friend's theory! All kinds of comments are welcome, I'm eager to know if you agree or disagree and why! :D

#Your Turn To Die #YTTD #YTTD Theory #Megumi Sasahara #Mr. Policeman #Officer Tazuna #Joe's dad #HOW DO I TAG A CHARACTER WHO HAS NO CANON NAME?! #Hope you guys like this theory #Because I sure do #I used to think that Megumi was a victim of ASU-NARO and all that but the idea of her being just as bad as them just makes me SO EXCITED #I can't explain why... #I just really like complex and mean characters #Like as in “I love to analyze them” and not “I love them” #I fucking hate them #But making analysis?

Why emotion route is a betrayal to Sou

Will keep this short and straight to the point. Also I will be calling shin “Sou” because that’s what a lot of people call him and to not cause confusion.

during the final vote you choose between Nao, Kanna, and Sou.

Kanna is supposedly the emotion choice and Sou is the logical. The reason why I disagree with this is because the game isn’t black and white. A lot of people in the fandom associate emotion route as the good path and logic route as the evil route when that is far from the truth. Saving Sou is not a logical choice and saving Kanna is not an emotional choice. In the end you are still letting someone weaker than you(Sara) die. One of them just happens to know about computers and even then Sou couldn’t do much.

Sara and Sou bond. They have a mutual understanding and want to work together. To say that Sara only saves Sou because he is useful is just plain wrong.

Even when you choose the option to say you are not sure if you can save Sou he still encourages Sara because he trusts her even when Sara shows weakness.

Also Sara can literally feel his heart lmao

then when you vote for Kanna in order to save a precious ally the game treats it as if Sara needed a tool to escape.

Earlier Sara was fighting for Sou’s trust. Was happened now? Was it a lie to use Sou? Sara is not a cruel person she means it when she calls Sou an ally.

then when you vote for Sou this happens

I don’t get why she says all this after gaining Sou’s trust.

then when Sou is dying he says this:

Sou concludes that if he believed in everyone he could’ve had a chance to continue living. In logic route Sou is still in time to trust everyone. In the CG of this image Sou is crying because he’s dying. Even when he protected Kanna, the person he cared about the most, he still wants to live. Because despite everything Sou is not ready to die and when you choose emotion route you take that away from him.

remember when Sou has a nightmare of Sara? That’s because he fears the strong. In the nightmare it’s implied that Sou dies because he is weak and that’s why Sara hates him. When you choose to save a Kanna that’s what exactly happens. Sara states she hates him and Sou dies a lonely death. Yeah he plays that Joe AI for Sara and we get a nice reunion but Sou is still being used here. Sou just becomes another pebble for Sara’s growth.

“thank you Joe……and Sou” those are Sara’s words after her reunion with Joe AI. The first she thanks is Joe, she pauses and then thanks Sou without even using his real name. And in chapter 3 he is barely awknoleged for his sacrifice. Even Kanna still uses his fake name.

Sou yeah thanks for reading <3

this isn’t me saying that emotion route is bad but I am saying that emotion route is just as a betrayal to Sou as the logic route. Neither route is “good” or “bad” in the end it’s just a matter of saving who YOU like. And I just happened to like shin (sou) more than the rest of the characters <3
