I just watched AS last week and thought they were the same because Luka wasn't introduced in previous rounds and it wasn't until the end of the round that I realized Till was a different contestant. This series is not newcomer friendly who don't have all the character bios/lore like longtime fans who followed the creator. I had to spend 30 minutes scrolling through comments in each video to fill in the lore gaps of who was who and what the context was. It doesn't help either that Till and Luka look similar at a glance.
@@shy2infinity Newcomers with no context aren't going to be able to differentiate at first glance. They are both light haired with similar vocal ranges.

Mizi - Pink haired girl round 1 Sua - Black haired girl round 1 Till - White haired boy round 2 Ivan - Black haired boy round 3 Luka - Blonde haired boy round 5 Mizi and Sua like each other Till likes Mizi Ivan likes Till
17:08 Just to explain what's happening here because the video don't make it very clear and you'll be confused if you don't know: Human rebels just attacked the soldiers who were about to kill the pink haired girl, Mizi, and saved her, and used a smoke bomb to disappear without being followed. That's why at the end there's an error saying "missing", Mizi is missing from the show. They could have saved the blond guy, Luka, too but didn't, see the look the brown haired girl gives him right as they are going away? You will understand that look (or not) in another video.
9:08 im pretty sure they looked concerned cuz the guitar he just smashed was a living alien named freddie so he basically just killed him on stage lmao 9:18 Also his name is Till so it meant Till won
Till’s guitar was an alien, that’s why everyone was losing it because his guitar had blood and organs when he smashed it so he killed what we assume to be an alien
The guitar is a living alien that's named "Freddie" that had a wife and kids (ridiculous, I know). He broke it when he saw his opponent was going to start to sing. Till wasn't supposed to start that way. The brown-haired guy was supposed to sing too, but Till won (grey-haired) with his own song he composed about Mizi (the pink-haired girl), and yes, Till is a rebel. He was a token from his mother, and the aliens were the reason for that. For him to train and take part in the alien stage, the aliens abuse him, and Mizi is like a shine of light to him that he could possibly be seeing his own mother in her like his own escape.
Okay essay time (just explanations for this half) Only if you want the lengthy explanation of someone who has been obsessing about Alien Stage for a while Round 1: the 2 girls were actually in love and trying to sing pretty much equally to get a tie, the pink girl (Mizi) believed it would work, the black haired girl (Sua) didn't really Them growing up is in a facility where they were trained to sing in the competition Round 2: the guitar guy (Till) most likely changed the song, since he wrote the one he sung canonically and the beginning sounds very different, so the other guy could not sing When he then tried to sing, Till smashed his guitar - which is a type of alien - on the stage, shocking the whole audience (because they're aliens) Also Till pretty much idolizes Mizi, the song he wrote is for her (I don't have time anymore, but I'll update this!)
@@adamiel_warning I'm like giving up on everything rn I wrote a whole paragraph about round 3 and then my phone deleted it LMAO I'm having breakfast first and then it's essay time
the reason why the other person just sat there and didn’t sing in r2 is because till (grey haired) didn’t sing the pre-established song they were supposed to sing 😭 at the start, you can hear a very different style of instrumentals. so when till sang his own original song instead, that was basically a death sentence for the other. he had no opportunity to join in and sing
Context for the relationships between the contestants: Mizi and Sua (pink haired girl and black haired girl) are a couple, Till (grey haired boy) loves Mizi, Ivan (black haired boy) loves Till. All four of them grew of together as friends. Luka (blond boy) also loves Hyuna (brown haired girl during the last few seconds of Round 5)
Nice video! A little explaining about the Round 4 thing, it actually happens off screen. Basically, the fight was so irrelevant that they didn’t even bother showing it to us 😭😭 You can, however, see the end of it at the start of Round 5 when Luka kisses the character’s hand.
LET'S GO TIME TO TRAUMATIZE MATHEW (again) I've actually been listening to the last song in this series (Blink, Gone) on loop for like a month now 😭 Also 6th day recommending Lego Monkie Kid out of context :3
9:30 btw, the reason the other guy sat there/didnt do anything is because normally till and the other guy would practice a song for their rounds, (e.g mizi and sua where singing the same song, and ivan and the other guy probs were but the focus was only really on Ivan ) but till went off the script (if you'd call it that?) and sung his own song, he wrote, and the other guy was kinda just left there with no opening or anything, (also cuz till kinda interrupted him) so yeah the other guy couldnt really do anything 😅
Also just to clear it up, in Round 2 Till is his name not the word 'till' lol (don't worry I thought same thing first time watching) Round 4 is Luka which isn't shown he was a new character so Round 5 is Mizi (pink girl from R1) vs. Luka (new character) Till idolizes Mizi, and Ivan (Round 3) loves Till.
Brief summary of each round !! Round 1: pink haired girl and black haired girl r in love and black haired girl (Sua) knew she would die to let pink haired girl (Mizi) live. Mizi is not very aware of the aliens mistreatment bc her alien owner was kind to her overall and Sua kept her in the dark about the truth of the singing competition. Round 2: White/grey haired dude (Till) has a crush on pink haired girl (Mizi) and she brought him hope in their bleak world. Till sings a different song than they were supposed to which is why the other dude is confused. The aliens r shocked bc the guitar Till smashed was actually an alien named Freddie. Round 3: Ivan is in love with white/grey haired dude (Till) and that moment when Till protects pink haired girl from the alien dog (cerebus looking thing), is the moment (i think) ivan falls for him and his rebellious nature and how he protects those he loves. During the red meteor scene, Ivan freed Till and escaped together but Till goes back, assumingly bc he didnt want to leave without Mizi/bc he was possibly afraid of a life outside of where they were raised. Round 5: Blonde dude (Luka) is a past winner of singing competition and a fan favorite of the aliens. He mimics Sua (round 1 girl who died) movements to affect Mizi (pink hair). Mizi is also still grieving Sua and obviously uncomfortable. We dont see Luka's previous round bc its not shown but we know he won bc of the intro with the other dead contestant. Pink hair is luckily saved by the human rebels who broke in at the end. Also Luka (blonde) and Till (white/grey hair) r two different people. i cut out a lot from this to make it simple so sorry if theres any mistakes :[
A bunch of context: Black haired girl: sua Pink haired girl: Mizi White/grey haired guy: Till Black haired guy: Ivan Blonde haired guy: Luka Brown long haired girl: Hyuna Round 1: Sua and Mizi both love each other and are a couple. They and all the other characters grew up in a facility to train for “alien stage.” They all have alien masters and are basically like slaves/pets for the aliens. Sua actually is one of the best singers among the group, but because she loved mizi, she sang worse than she could’ve and threw the competition so mizi would win and survive.(you get a self sacrifice early on lol) Round 2: Till idolizes Mizi and is very rebellious towards the aliens. He wrote the song he sang for Mizi and used his guitar to throw off his competition by playing his own song, instead of the original song they were supposed to sing. That’s why his opponent was freaking out and didn’t sing. After seeing what happened in round 1 and how it affected Mizi, Till was super angry and destroyed his guitar in retaliation. His guitar is actually an alien and that’s why the members of the audience were freaking out. However, even though he did win, he got a beating for destroying that alien. Round 3: hoooboyyy, so Ivan is in love with Till, and these first rounds are showing some of the backgrounds behind the characters. In the flashbacks, it shows Till and Ivan actually escaping the facility and seeing the meteor shower outside. Ivan wanted to escape with Till, cause he knew how to disable the collars and escape the facility, but Till didn’t want to leave without Mizi, so he went back. Ivan, being in love with Till, went back as well, knowing they’ll be put in the alien stage death game basically. (In the round, Ivan can kinda be seen singing to Till, who’s thinking about other stuff lol) Round 4/5: round 4 wasn’t shown but it showed Luka advancing to round 5 after defeating his opponent in round 4 in the beginning. Luka is… interesting and I’m sorry but I do love him. Luka is actually the previous alien stage’s winner. So he has more experience than the other contestants. He uses a lot of manipulation tactics in his rounds to throw his opponent off their game(hence why he acted that way with Mizi). Luka is like the opposite of Till. Whereas Till is super rebellious, Luka has confirmed to the Alien society and accepted his role as a pet to the aliens so he can survive. He is definitely like a secondary villain to the other characters but I still love him anyway lol. Anyway, after he beats down mizi mentally, he can be seen smiling while mizi punches him, as he knew he won(again. He’s manipulative). However, before Mizi could get killed, a rebel human group crashed into the stage and rescued Mizi. Mizi can be seen getting carried out by Hyuna, who actually has a history with Luka. That’s why there was the error message at the end. That’s majority of context for each round including tidbits. Won’t say anything else that might be a spoiler for any newer people in the fandom lol. Honestly even I’m still learning new stuff about it lol Also random tidbit, despite the whole love triangle type situation here, I don’t think the humans really understand the concept of love, other than maybe mizi and sua, because they grew up without that type of education. I remember reading it somewhere. Honestly, just another depressing tidbit about the story lol (But quick thing about who likes who so it’s easier to understand kinda: Mizi and sua love each other Till likes/idolizes mizi Ivan loves Till Luka loves/obsesses over Hyuna(?))
Yesss!! So excited to see you reacted to these! The music is def a bop. But also i see this mistake with other reactors, so please don't skip straight to round 6 after 5. There are other music video with context that need to be watched before round 6. I think the playlist you picked is in the chronological order. I can't wait till the next vid!
most humans have an alien owner, and this owner can choose whether or not they want their pet human to participate in alien stage. in mizi and sua’s case, mizi wanted to enter alien stage because she didn’t know the whole truth about it. whereas sua’s owner is a celebrity and wanted sua to gain fame from alien stage. they sent them to anakt garden (a school that trains them specially for the competition) where the two grew close all the competitors grew up together in anakt garden, and this explains why a lot of them are close. this is done on purpose by the aliens to form bonds between contestants.
The way their world works in alien stage is that humans are seen as pets to aliens who took over their planet. Alien stage is a competition for humans that are for the aliens’ entertainment. Hitting or any type of physical contact while performing equals disqualification, but in mizi’s case she went missing before she could be killed. In round 2, the winner, till, cheated by singing a completely different song he made himself which is why the brown hair, acorn, didn’t sing. Also, Mizi (pink hair in r1 and r5) likes sua (black hair in r1), till (grey hair in r2) likes mizi, Ivan (black hair in r3) likes till.
That you said "someone will sacrifice themselves for another" at that moment... Btw, round 4 are the first seconds of R5 (the rival killed themselves). If you didnt follow VIVINO's post, it's impossible to know (like Mizi's name, that you dont know till R5... Sua and Till have theirs in their necks)
not even the story but just the music alone is wild to listen to high. i'm not entirely sure if i'm real anymore Edit: Went and watched the whole thing real quick. Mat needs to do a part 2, there's no question about it. Heiliges Schnitzel
The relationships are one-sided love. The black haired male(Ivan) loves the gray male(Till), while till loves pink hair girl(Mizi) and Mizi loves Sua(Black-haired girl who died). Black Sorrow is Ivan singing abt Till, Round 2 Till is singing abt Mizi.
An explanation and analysis on round 3 in case anyone is confused (if it looks familiar it’s bc I copied my comment from another alien stage reaction video): Ivan was born in an illegal pet human factory in the slums and was caught up in the rage of a cruel dealer. That’s what the first part of the video shows. After surviving in the slums for the first few years of his life, he was sold off in an auction to a wealthy businessman alien. After facing death so early on in his life, he had basically resigned to become an obedient pet human and chose to not fight back so that he could live comfortably and peacefully. In the video, there’s a series of scenes where his surroundings changes but he remains the same, suggesting that to him, nothing in his life truly changed much. He was still alone and living life passively. Until he met Till (guy from round 2) and his world finally changed as we see Till running past him, and Ivan actually taking action and following after him. Till had sparked an interest in him because he was rebellious. Till always fought back against the alien even though he gains nothing but punishment and mistreatment. This curiosity Ivan had for Till developed into love. To Ivan, Till was like the meteors he saw when he faced potential death back in the slums, he was someone who shined brightly in the night sky (standing strong despite the harsh reality they lived in and being the ripple that broke the stagnant waters of his life). So later on in the music video, Ivan carried out his own act of rebellion: trying to escape Anakt Garden with Till, to give him the freedom he always wanted and fought for. But in the end Till went back, presumably for Mizi (pink hair) but maybe also due to the fear of the unknown if they really escaped. Despite this, Ivan still loves him and chose to follow Till back to Anakt garden, knowing that following him meant potentially facing his own death in the future when they step on to Alien Stage.
ILL EXPLAIN THE MUSIC VIDEOS FOR U except all in also funfact everyone that dies wears white and everyone that survives wears black except in ruler of my heart both wore white ROUND 1: MY CLEMATIS So basically u understood everything sua and mizi childhood friends and inlove with eachother and they had a plan to do a duet and get a tie (no one knows what happens when u get a tie but if it meant a chance to survive they were up to try it) but sua at the very end stopped singing cuz she wanted to make sure mizi survived the only way to do that was sacrificing herself ROUND 2: UNKNOWN (till the end) So why the other guy wasnt singing is bc hes an npc we dont hear what the npc says but also till cheated and didnt give the guy a chance to sing. basically till is singing towards mizi, he's inlove with mizi (yes hes inlove with a lesbian girl) and would do anything to get her attention which is why he broke his guitar (his guitar was an alien called fred) btw the title of the song actually has a meaning the "unknown" is meant to be he doesnt know who saves him all the time, till is abused and the collar is basically what u put on pets and Ivan (the guy who sang black sorrow) was trusted so well he had the ability to remove the collar and whenever he saw till he removed the collar for hiim and till never knew who was it, so it remained "unknown" and till always imagined the one to save him to be mizi, until the end, he finds out it was actually ivan saving him which makes the song cure so much sadder ROUND 3: BLACK SORROW basically ivan singing abt till, the music video is showing when ivan first fell inlove with till and when he first got confused abt his feelings, till ran to save mizi from an alien and ivan followed them and fell inlove with till, ivan found a way to escape the aliens and took till with him but till didnt wanna leave mizi so he left ivan (also till felt guilty abt leaving ivan and ruining his chance to escape) idk how else to explain black sorrow i prob kept out many things ROUND 4: didnt happen because luka killed his contestant ROUND 5: RULER OF MY HEART Luka is someone who won the previous ALIEN STAGE competition, making him older than the other contestants, he tries to manipulate mizi into trying to kill him on stage (which is not allowed) he pretends to be sua and stuff making her go insane but before aliens could kill her the rebels (hyuna from all in) went to save mizi from luka (hyuna is also someone from the previous competition but she escaped) ROUND 6: CURE Ivan is singing against till, till is depressed bc mizi went missing. in this music video we see signs that till was ... sa'd.. too together with the other abuse he received, ivan is singing to till while till is singing to mizi, ivan sacrifices himself (kissing till with him so he dies with no regret) so that till survives... im not sure what more to say ill prob edit this later ROUND 7: BLINK GONE SO! sadness.... luka tries to manipulate till the same way in ruler of my heart by pretending to be ivan (also till's mic was turned off thats why his mic was beeping red it only turned on in the end) hyuna and the others are there to try and hack the system to tie the score up but couldnt do it in time, till was acting very sick and depressive because of all the ivan stuff, until mizi appears, mizi is his light making him happier and have hope when he sees her then he dies, the last seconds is the theory before you die ur brain plays ur favorite memory which was till with mizi. FUNFACT everyone died at the hands of who they loves most, sua with mizi, ivan with till and till with mizi.
SPOILERS "im just waiting for someone to sacrifice themselves for someone else" while watching ivan "king yaoi the 3rd" alien stage sing like no tomorrow about a boy and winning with the power of yearning.
Round 5 was supposed to symbolize forced/arranged marriage! You should also watch Top 3 and All-in, then of course Round 6 and 7. I also highly recommend reading comments and checking out the wikia. It explains the lore in a way that's harder to understand from the video itself.
Hey, thank you for reacting to Alien Stage!! Definitely far too much extra detail that is explained outside of these videos or in them but is hard to catch. So I will just tell you that you should look into all of it if you're interested? Like the world behind Alien Stage and all the characters themselves make it addicting on top of it having amazing music. Edit: Round 5 is confusing so I wanted to explain some stuff 15:00 - General stuff: Round 5 we start of seeing that brief scene at the beginning bc that is Luka winning Round 4. That round itself doesn't get more recognition than that. Luka does not feel anything towards Mizi everything he's doing is simply to make her remember Sua. He studied their stage together (My Clematis) to make sure he could capture Sua in the way he performs to trigger Mizi. His specialty is truly psychological warfare. Beautiful voice though lol The "Make me your god" line is something Luka is actually directing toward the audience. If you see the sea of purple lights that's actually all of the audience wearing or holding Luka specific merch as he is a fan favorite and won the previous season of Alien Stage (Season 49 they're in Season 50 right now). 16:23 oh this split second shot of Luka smiling....... Canonically he doesn't care about his own body or anyone's wellbeing, he only cares if he wins. So here he's just taking enjoyment out of Mizi being weak and giving into her emotions instead of staying cool-headed to be able to attempt to beat him. (Luka is quite a sci-fi anomaly and it's too much to describe in a comment, but trust the guy has a lot going on, none of it excuses him being a kind of evil character in the end no matter what Luka fans try to tell you lol) Also, the attacking other contestants thing has NEVER come up before this. Alien Stage had to make a new rule that all attacks would be more promptly dealt with after what happened in R5. Furthering this increase in security is the interruption of Mizi's execution for being violent by the Rebel Human Army infiltrating and taking her with them (which is why at the end we see she is now "missing".)
As a heads up, the beginning of Round 5 was the end of Round 4. They just skipped showing the whole of Round 4 because Luka decimated his opponent. And it was HUMANS who dragged Mizi off the stage in round 5. The contestants can't really see what is happening due to all the smoke, but she was rescued before she could be killed. You notice this when the brown haired girl (Hyuna) looks back. I see people have already said it here too, but the reason everyone looked shocked in the audience in Round 2 was because the guitar was an alien. It was living, and Till smashed it. The reason you didn't see his opponent singing at all was because they were supposed to sing a different song and Till upended it from the very beginning by overpowering him and not giving him a chance to sing. The moment the boy tried to sing was when he smashed the guitar.
yippeeeee! depressing!!!

OH MY GOD??? ALIEN STAGE ALIEN STAGE AAAAAA
Okay essay time (just explanations for this half)
Only if you want the lengthy explanation of someone who has been obsessing about Alien Stage for a while
Round 1: the 2 girls were actually in love and trying to sing pretty much equally to get a tie, the pink girl (Mizi) believed it would work, the black haired girl (Sua) didn't really
Them growing up is in a facility where they were trained to sing in the competition
Round 2: the guitar guy (Till) most likely changed the song, since he wrote the one he sung canonically and the beginning sounds very different, so the other guy could not sing
When he then tried to sing, Till smashed his guitar - which is a type of alien - on the stage, shocking the whole audience (because they're aliens)
Also Till pretty much idolizes Mizi, the song he wrote is for her
(I don't have time anymore, but I'll update this!)
Letting a comment to wait the complete explaination
@@adamiel_warning I'm like giving up on everything rn I wrote a whole paragraph about round 3 and then my phone deleted it LMAO
I'm having breakfast first and then it's essay time
" I'm waiting for someone to sacrifice themselves" me outloud - about that-
2:23 I think Clematis is a type of flower, which would make the "scent" line a bit more poetic, but without this context it is a rather funny line
the reason why the other person just sat there and didn’t sing in r2 is because till (grey haired) didn’t sing the pre-established song they were supposed to sing 😭 at the start, you can hear a very different style of instrumentals. so when till sang his own original song instead, that was basically a death sentence for the other. he had no opportunity to join in and sing
12:16 Lmao, the irony.
fr 😭😭😭 the moment he said that i was like "oh sh-"
Fr
😭
Context for the relationships between the contestants:
Mizi and Sua (pink haired girl and black haired girl) are a couple, Till (grey haired boy) loves Mizi, Ivan (black haired boy) loves Till. All four of them grew of together as friends.
Luka (blond boy) also loves Hyuna (brown haired girl during the last few seconds of Round 5)
Nice video! A little explaining about the Round 4 thing, it actually happens off screen. Basically, the fight was so irrelevant that they didn’t even bother showing it to us 😭😭 You can, however, see the end of it at the start of Round 5 when Luka kisses the character’s hand.
LET'S GO TIME TO TRAUMATIZE MATHEW (again)
I've actually been listening to the last song in this series (Blink, Gone) on loop for like a month now 😭
Also 6th day recommending Lego Monkie Kid out of context :3
OMG?!?!?
"I'm waiting for someone to sacrifice themselves for someone else."
💀
At the start of round 5, you see the aftermath of round 4. that's why someone is dead.
9:30 btw, the reason the other guy sat there/didnt do anything is because normally till and the other guy would practice a song for their rounds, (e.g mizi and sua where singing the same song, and ivan and the other guy probs were but the focus was only really on Ivan ) but till went off the script (if you'd call it that?) and sung his own song, he wrote, and the other guy was kinda just left there with no opening or anything, (also cuz till kinda interrupted him) so yeah the other guy couldnt really do anything 😅
Yes! YES!!! I haven't even started watching this yet, but I'm SO excited!!
2:06 "i thought it might go in a sillier direction" AHAHAHA.... yeah i wish. i wish it did. 💀
Bruh stopping midway is criminallll! 🤧😩 I´m so exited to have you watching Alien Stage! Welcome to the fandom lol.
Also just to clear it up, in Round 2 Till is his name not the word 'till' lol (don't worry I thought same thing first time watching)
Round 4 is Luka which isn't shown he was a new character so Round 5 is Mizi (pink girl from R1) vs. Luka (new character)
Till idolizes Mizi, and Ivan (Round 3) loves Till.
YES, ALIEN STAGE!! I AM SO HAPPY!! TY MATHEW
Oh my god!! I’ve been a VIVINOS fan for years and it makes me so happy that so many people are finding their content now. This is amazing
Brief summary of each round !!
Round 1:
pink haired girl and black haired girl r in love and black haired girl (Sua) knew she would die to let pink haired girl (Mizi) live. Mizi is not very aware of the aliens mistreatment bc her alien owner was kind to her overall and Sua kept her in the dark about the truth of the singing competition.
Round 2:
White/grey haired dude (Till) has a crush on pink haired girl (Mizi) and she brought him hope in their bleak world. Till sings a different song than they were supposed to which is why the other dude is confused. The aliens r shocked bc the guitar Till smashed was actually an alien named Freddie.
Round 3:
Ivan is in love with white/grey haired dude (Till) and that moment when Till protects pink haired girl from the alien dog (cerebus looking thing), is the moment (i think) ivan falls for him and his rebellious nature and how he protects those he loves. During the red meteor scene, Ivan freed Till and escaped together but Till goes back, assumingly bc he didnt want to leave without Mizi/bc he was possibly afraid of a life outside of where they were raised.
Round 5:
Blonde dude (Luka) is a past winner of singing competition and a fan favorite of the aliens. He mimics Sua (round 1 girl who died) movements to affect Mizi (pink hair). Mizi is also still grieving Sua and obviously uncomfortable. We dont see Luka's previous round bc its not shown but we know he won bc of the intro with the other dead contestant. Pink hair is luckily saved by the human rebels who broke in at the end. Also Luka (blonde) and Till (white/grey hair) r two different people.
i cut out a lot from this to make it simple so sorry if theres any mistakes :[
3:24 yeah they both like each other!
12:15 i died when he said this 😭
Shhh... 😂
OHY GOD IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE LET'S GO
Dude i started tearing up just from seeing the title what the heck 😭
Just had the worst dream but woke up the best notification of McKenna reacting to alien stage. YAYYYYY. Bet it's amazing.
ANYWAYS ALIEN STAGE WOOHOO
Bro i just got a noise complaint cause i screamed too loud as soon as i saw the thumbnail 😂
Oh wow that’s unexpected…let’s see if we cab make him watch Milgram now
11:24 Dont worry about copyright, i dont think anything will be done if you show the full clip
OMG. FINALLY!?!??!?!! WAR IS OVEEEEEEEEER!!!! MATHEW REACTED TO ALIEN STAGE (next milgram pls-)
YESSS, DEPRESSION, NOW I WANT MORE!!
A bunch of context:
Black haired girl: sua
Pink haired girl: Mizi
White/grey haired guy: Till
Black haired guy: Ivan
Blonde haired guy: Luka
Brown long haired girl: Hyuna
Round 1: Sua and Mizi both love each other and are a couple. They and all the other characters grew up in a facility to train for “alien stage.” They all have alien masters and are basically like slaves/pets for the aliens. Sua actually is one of the best singers among the group, but because she loved mizi, she sang worse than she could’ve and threw the competition so mizi would win and survive.(you get a self sacrifice early on lol)
Round 2: Till idolizes Mizi and is very rebellious towards the aliens. He wrote the song he sang for Mizi and used his guitar to throw off his competition by playing his own song, instead of the original song they were supposed to sing. That’s why his opponent was freaking out and didn’t sing. After seeing what happened in round 1 and how it affected Mizi, Till was super angry and destroyed his guitar in retaliation. His guitar is actually an alien and that’s why the members of the audience were freaking out. However, even though he did win, he got a beating for destroying that alien.
Round 3: hoooboyyy, so Ivan is in love with Till, and these first rounds are showing some of the backgrounds behind the characters. In the flashbacks, it shows Till and Ivan actually escaping the facility and seeing the meteor shower outside. Ivan wanted to escape with Till, cause he knew how to disable the collars and escape the facility, but Till didn’t want to leave without Mizi, so he went back. Ivan, being in love with Till, went back as well, knowing they’ll be put in the alien stage death game basically. (In the round, Ivan can kinda be seen singing to Till, who’s thinking about other stuff lol)
Round 4/5: round 4 wasn’t shown but it showed Luka advancing to round 5 after defeating his opponent in round 4 in the beginning. Luka is… interesting and I’m sorry but I do love him. Luka is actually the previous alien stage’s winner. So he has more experience than the other contestants. He uses a lot of manipulation tactics in his rounds to throw his opponent off their game(hence why he acted that way with Mizi). Luka is like the opposite of Till. Whereas Till is super rebellious, Luka has confirmed to the Alien society and accepted his role as a pet to the aliens so he can survive. He is definitely like a secondary villain to the other characters but I still love him anyway lol. Anyway, after he beats down mizi mentally, he can be seen smiling while mizi punches him, as he knew he won(again. He’s manipulative). However, before Mizi could get killed, a rebel human group crashed into the stage and rescued Mizi. Mizi can be seen getting carried out by Hyuna, who actually has a history with Luka. That’s why there was the error message at the end.
That’s majority of context for each round including tidbits. Won’t say anything else that might be a spoiler for any newer people in the fandom lol. Honestly even I’m still learning new stuff about it lol
Also random tidbit, despite the whole love triangle type situation here, I don’t think the humans really understand the concept of love, other than maybe mizi and sua, because they grew up without that type of education. I remember reading it somewhere. Honestly, just another depressing tidbit about the story lol
(But quick thing about who likes who so it’s easier to understand kinda:
Mizi and sua love each other
Till likes/idolizes mizi
Ivan loves Till
Luka loves/obsesses over Hyuna(?))
Did not expect this, but I'm glad you reacted to this series!! :D
Woah!!! Alien Stage!! I'm so excited for your reaction in this series!!
Yesss!! So excited to see you reacted to these! The music is def a bop.
But also i see this mistake with other reactors, so please don't skip straight to round 6 after 5. There are other music video with context that need to be watched before round 6. I think the playlist you picked is in the chronological order.
I can't wait till the next vid!
STOP I PHYSICALLY RECOILED WHEN I SAW THIS
Oooh I can’t believe you reacted to Alien Stage! Feels like the series is getting more attention!
most humans have an alien owner, and this owner can choose whether or not they want their pet human to participate in alien stage. in mizi and sua’s case, mizi wanted to enter alien stage because she didn’t know the whole truth about it. whereas sua’s owner is a celebrity and wanted sua to gain fame from alien stage. they sent them to anakt garden (a school that trains them specially for the competition) where the two grew close
all the competitors grew up together in anakt garden, and this explains why a lot of them are close. this is done on purpose by the aliens to form bonds between contestants.
Bro actually reacted to it?? Omg this is revolutionary
ALIEN STAGE YESSSSS this is actual peak fiction
PART TWO PART TWO PLEADE PLEASE PLEASE YOU WILL LOVE IT
10:10 sing for me emo boy !!! LMAOO
The way their world works in alien stage is that humans are seen as pets to aliens who took over their planet. Alien stage is a competition for humans that are for the aliens’ entertainment. Hitting or any type of physical contact while performing equals disqualification, but in mizi’s case she went missing before she could be killed. In round 2, the winner, till, cheated by singing a completely different song he made himself which is why the brown hair, acorn, didn’t sing. Also, Mizi (pink hair in r1 and r5) likes sua (black hair in r1), till (grey hair in r2) likes mizi, Ivan (black hair in r3) likes till.
That you said "someone will sacrifice themselves for another" at that moment...
Btw, round 4 are the first seconds of R5 (the rival killed themselves). If you didnt follow VIVINO's post, it's impossible to know (like Mizi's name, that you dont know till R5... Sua and Till have theirs in their necks)
Just wait for round six 😈(I’m still crying)
IVE BEEN WAITINF FOR THIS???
BROOO I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT ALIEN STAGE FROM A FRIEND A FEW DAYS AGO AND IM STILL CRYING AFTER WHAT HAPPENED I CANNOT COPE WITH THIS
Alien Stage!!!! I've been really hooked on this so I'm very excited for this video
"Im waiting for someone to sacrifice themselves" MY CLEMATIS WAS ALREADY- ??!?!?!??
I clicked SO fast. Praying he watches in order. Seen too many reactors skip songs.
IT HAPPENING OMG OMG
I’m unbelievably happy you’re reacting to alien stage 😭
Highly recommend Carol and Wednesdday its a netflix anime the music is amazing oh and Belle its kinda an anime version of beauty and the beast
Heck yeah traumatized time!!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🗣🗣
not even the story but just the music alone is wild to listen to high. i'm not entirely sure if i'm real anymore
Edit: Went and watched the whole thing real quick. Mat needs to do a part 2, there's no question about it. Heiliges Schnitzel
YESSS, ALIEN STAGE!
Hope there be part 2 of this
Finalllyyy!!! Sooo happy I love your videos and Alien Stage is one of my favorite animatic.
The relationships are one-sided love. The black haired male(Ivan) loves the gray male(Till), while till loves pink hair girl(Mizi) and Mizi loves Sua(Black-haired girl who died). Black Sorrow is Ivan singing abt Till, Round 2 Till is singing abt Mizi.
Also the collars are there to show the people are pets, like the Aliens are owners.
HE ACTUALLY REACTED TO ALIEN STAGE? I THOUGHT I WAS STILL HALF ASLEEP
ALIEN STAGEEEE I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO REACT TO THIS
Aaaaaah my life is made, can't wait for you to see the rest, Round 6 and 7 are wild
HEELLLL YEAHHH THANK YOUUU
FUCK YES
An explanation and analysis on round 3 in case anyone is confused (if it looks familiar it’s bc I copied my comment from another alien stage reaction video):
Ivan was born in an illegal pet human factory in the slums and was caught up in the rage of a cruel dealer. That’s what the first part of the video shows. After surviving in the slums for the first few years of his life, he was sold off in an auction to a wealthy businessman alien. After facing death so early on in his life, he had basically resigned to become an obedient pet human and chose to not fight back so that he could live comfortably and peacefully. In the video, there’s a series of scenes where his surroundings changes but he remains the same, suggesting that to him, nothing in his life truly changed much. He was still alone and living life passively. Until he met Till (guy from round 2) and his world finally changed as we see Till running past him, and Ivan actually taking action and following after him. Till had sparked an interest in him because he was rebellious. Till always fought back against the alien even though he gains nothing but punishment and mistreatment. This curiosity Ivan had for Till developed into love. To Ivan, Till was like the meteors he saw when he faced potential death back in the slums, he was someone who shined brightly in the night sky (standing strong despite the harsh reality they lived in and being the ripple that broke the stagnant waters of his life). So later on in the music video, Ivan carried out his own act of rebellion: trying to escape Anakt Garden with Till, to give him the freedom he always wanted and fought for. But in the end Till went back, presumably for Mizi (pink hair) but maybe also due to the fear of the unknown if they really escaped. Despite this, Ivan still loves him and chose to follow Till back to Anakt garden, knowing that following him meant potentially facing his own death in the future when they step on to Alien Stage.
the way I gasps thank uuuuuu
NO WAY!!!!!!!! lets goooo
HELL YEAH we getting everyone to watch alien stage now
HE DID IT
OMG I've been waiting for this reactionnn!! YESSSS it's time for more trauma :D
On an unrelated note, Matthew's hair looks so nice!
Omg I never thought he would see alien stage😭😭😭❤
I'm so glad you liked it 🎉🎉 I can't wait to see the next reaction
ILL EXPLAIN THE MUSIC VIDEOS FOR U except all in also funfact everyone that dies wears white and everyone that survives wears black except in ruler of my heart both wore white
ROUND 1: MY CLEMATIS
So basically u understood everything sua and mizi childhood friends and inlove with eachother and they had a plan to do a duet and get a tie (no one knows what happens when u get a tie but if it meant a chance to survive they were up to try it) but sua at the very end stopped singing cuz she wanted to make sure mizi survived the only way to do that was sacrificing herself
ROUND 2: UNKNOWN (till the end)
So why the other guy wasnt singing is bc hes an npc we dont hear what the npc says but also till cheated and didnt give the guy a chance to sing. basically till is singing towards mizi, he's inlove with mizi (yes hes inlove with a lesbian girl) and would do anything to get her attention which is why he broke his guitar (his guitar was an alien called fred) btw the title of the song actually has a meaning the "unknown" is meant to be he doesnt know who saves him all the time, till is abused and the collar is basically what u put on pets and Ivan (the guy who sang black sorrow) was trusted so well he had the ability to remove the collar and whenever he saw till he removed the collar for hiim and till never knew who was it, so it remained "unknown" and till always imagined the one to save him to be mizi, until the end, he finds out it was actually ivan saving him which makes the song cure so much sadder
ROUND 3: BLACK SORROW
basically ivan singing abt till, the music video is showing when ivan first fell inlove with till and when he first got confused abt his feelings, till ran to save mizi from an alien and ivan followed them and fell inlove with till, ivan found a way to escape the aliens and took till with him but till didnt wanna leave mizi so he left ivan (also till felt guilty abt leaving ivan and ruining his chance to escape) idk how else to explain black sorrow i prob kept out many things
ROUND 4: didnt happen because luka killed his contestant
ROUND 5: RULER OF MY HEART
Luka is someone who won the previous ALIEN STAGE competition, making him older than the other contestants, he tries to manipulate mizi into trying to kill him on stage (which is not allowed) he pretends to be sua and stuff making her go insane but before aliens could kill her the rebels (hyuna from all in) went to save mizi from luka (hyuna is also someone from the previous competition but she escaped)
ROUND 6: CURE
Ivan is singing against till, till is depressed bc mizi went missing. in this music video we see signs that till was ... sa'd.. too together with the other abuse he received, ivan is singing to till while till is singing to mizi, ivan sacrifices himself (kissing till with him so he dies with no regret) so that till survives... im not sure what more to say ill prob edit this later
ROUND 7: BLINK GONE
SO! sadness.... luka tries to manipulate till the same way in ruler of my heart by pretending to be ivan (also till's mic was turned off thats why his mic was beeping red it only turned on in the end) hyuna and the others are there to try and hack the system to tie the score up but couldnt do it in time, till was acting very sick and depressive because of all the ivan stuff, until mizi appears, mizi is his light making him happier and have hope when he sees her then he dies, the last seconds is the theory before you die ur brain plays ur favorite memory which was till with mizi. FUNFACT everyone died at the hands of who they loves most, sua with mizi, ivan with till and till with mizi.
so ignorw qhats after tound 5 i might be spoiling u
I can't believe you watched Alien Stage omg 😭😭🙏🙏
BRO WATCHED ALIEN STAGE, THAT'S CRAZY 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
9:16 but have you seen the symbolism around the guitar?
Oh man I can’t wait for the next part 😭😭
ALIEN STAGE
Thank you cant wait to cry again
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY-
SPOILERS
"im just waiting for someone to sacrifice themselves for someone else" while watching ivan "king yaoi the 3rd" alien stage sing like no tomorrow about a boy and winning with the power of yearning.
Round 4 never happened cause the guy who went against Luka forfeited before the round started
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS OH MY GOD
"i'm waiting for someone to sacrifice themself for someone else"
Round 5 was supposed to symbolize forced/arranged marriage!
You should also watch Top 3 and All-in, then of course Round 6 and 7.
I also highly recommend reading comments and checking out the wikia. It explains the lore in a way that's harder to understand from the video itself.
I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS DAY 🙏🙏🙏
MORE PLEASE 😭🙏
Hey, thank you for reacting to Alien Stage!!
Definitely far too much extra detail that is explained outside of these videos or in them but is hard to catch. So I will just tell you that you should look into all of it if you're interested? Like the world behind Alien Stage and all the characters themselves make it addicting on top of it having amazing music.
Edit: Round 5 is confusing so I wanted to explain some stuff
15:00 - General stuff: Round 5 we start of seeing that brief scene at the beginning bc that is Luka winning Round 4. That round itself doesn't get more recognition than that.
Luka does not feel anything towards Mizi everything he's doing is simply to make her remember Sua. He studied their stage together (My Clematis) to make sure he could capture Sua in the way he performs to trigger Mizi. His specialty is truly psychological warfare. Beautiful voice though lol
The "Make me your god" line is something Luka is actually directing toward the audience. If you see the sea of purple lights that's actually all of the audience wearing or holding Luka specific merch as he is a fan favorite and won the previous season of Alien Stage (Season 49 they're in Season 50 right now).
16:23 oh this split second shot of Luka smiling....... Canonically he doesn't care about his own body or anyone's wellbeing, he only cares if he wins. So here he's just taking enjoyment out of Mizi being weak and giving into her emotions instead of staying cool-headed to be able to attempt to beat him. (Luka is quite a sci-fi anomaly and it's too much to describe in a comment, but trust the guy has a lot going on, none of it excuses him being a kind of evil character in the end no matter what Luka fans try to tell you lol)
Also, the attacking other contestants thing has NEVER come up before this. Alien Stage had to make a new rule that all attacks would be more promptly dealt with after what happened in R5. Furthering this increase in security is the interruption of Mizi's execution for being violent by the Rebel Human Army infiltrating and taking her with them (which is why at the end we see she is now "missing".)
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
As a heads up, the beginning of Round 5 was the end of Round 4. They just skipped showing the whole of Round 4 because Luka decimated his opponent. And it was HUMANS who dragged Mizi off the stage in round 5. The contestants can't really see what is happening due to all the smoke, but she was rescued before she could be killed. You notice this when the brown haired girl (Hyuna) looks back.
I see people have already said it here too, but the reason everyone looked shocked in the audience in Round 2 was because the guitar was an alien. It was living, and Till smashed it. The reason you didn't see his opponent singing at all was because they were supposed to sing a different song and Till upended it from the very beginning by overpowering him and not giving him a chance to sing. The moment the boy tried to sing was when he smashed the guitar.
hell yes!!!!!! alien stage!!!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG YESSSS!!!!
yeah love this!
OMG HES REACTED TO ALIEN STAGE AAAAAAAAAH!!!! *DIES*
