On Alien Stage's official twitter (X), there's a picture of Ivan spectating Round 5 when Mizi beating Luka to pulp, he was thinking and taking note that physical violence could work to lower his score. Plus, there was a mix feeling of taking Till to death with him and wanting to lower his score, when he saw that Till stopped singing he hurriedly taking to action even he was so surprised cuz human's culture of kissing (expressing love) was already gone. In conclusion, bro's yearning reinvented kissing.
The scene of Ivan nudging his face to Till was physical and emotionally hurting for me cuz these kids never knew how to express their love, he wanted to console Till + his obsession and possessiveness = he could only nudge to his face cuz he didn't know what to do
Ivan was winning and saw that Till stopped singing so he decided to just go for it. He knew if he acted like he was choking him that he would get shot.
So I got into alien stage TODAY but from my understanding ivan sacrificed himself (he knew choking him would get him disqualified/shot) for till because he knew that till could live without him, but not the other way around. (at least that's what I picked up from comments under different videos)
not only that but Ivan wasnt ACTUALLY choking Till, there was no handprints, he was essentially just applying pressure to not only startle Till but to make it look real, he didnt wanna hurt him 🥺
to add to that: 1- Ivan knew that he had more chances of winning, because he knew that he was more "loved" by the aliens, and that Till was clearly not giving his all in his performance. 2- Till had actually stopped singing, that's why Ivan was looking at Till in silence even before walking towards him.
Also when Ivan was "choking" Till if you pay atenttion theres no marks of choking on Till's neck. So yeah Ivan actually didn't hurt him, but Till was so resinged at it that it's so sad, to see that he didn't show any sign of rejection at that action and even closed his eyes like "accepting his fate"
so ivan knew that doing something violent/aggressive would lead to the other winning (like in round 5) and he knew his feelings were one sided as till loved mizi so ivan decided to sacrifice himself in order to let till win
Fun fact: Kissing was a concept that went extinct (or whatever term you use) I’ve been loving these reactions and I get super excited every time I see one, thanks so much! 😄
when you watch round 6 with the perception that neither of them knew what it was, and Ivan was going more by instinct than actually knowing what he was doing, the whole round 6 changes perspective
@@dumpstersnail actually, as an additional fact, in one of the comics posted on vivinos community posts/alnst official twitter, its shown that kissing came around to anakt garden as some kind of trend. actually, ivan did ask till if they could kiss, however till said "ew no! gross!" and at the end said that he'd kiss him on ivan's birthday, which ivan replied "but till, you know i dont have a birthday" till never intended to kiss ivan, of course. although i do believe the kiss in r6 was out of pure impulse because ivan himself looked quite surprised too
Oh and I almost forgot in this frame 2:23 if you zoom in you can see that Till was being sold at 50% discount because he was unwanted by the "alien guardians" because he was rebellious even as a child if I am not wrong
And a very last but not least "fun fact" is that as is it shown in the video, Ivan used to take care of Till (2:35) even as kids. (3:21) When Till was punished for being rebellious, Ivan was the one who went and freed him, Ivan was the one who stayed by his side when he was hurt and unconscious. So, in this very moment that I think is a nice detail 4:05 Till's pupils dilate under which I believe it means that Till recognized the touch that Ivan offered him in those moments of help and that he could never see before either because he was always looking at Mizi, or also in part because at those moments he was somewhat unconscious,
Alright here comes my essay! For reference, Ivan = the black haired guy from round 3, and Till = the grey haired guy from round 2. Ivan and Till have known each other since the garden, much like Mizi and Sua. Ever since they were kids, Ivan has had an obsessive love for Till, but besides that, they have always been close friends. Till, however, seemed to have a crush on Mizi, to the point of writing music about her as seen in round 2. In reality, his feelings for Mizi were more akin to admiring an idol or a celebrity crush, as she was unreachable and easy to love from afar, given her love for Sua. Ivan, however, loves him so openly that it’s easier to push him away, because accepting that love was far scarier. Till does, in fact, reciprocate these feelings, but he obviously realized that a little too late. There is also a reference to round 3, in which Ivan took Till with him to escape the garden, but Till did not want to leave Mizi behind, so he ran from Ivan, and back into the prison of the garden. Now, with that out of the way for now: the scene where he hit that alien. He was being made to sing for his owner and other aliens (fun Easter egg: you can see on the screen, that they ware forcing him to sing My Clematis, the song Mizi and Sua sang together). It is important to note here that Till is under the impression that Mizi is dead (which, while definitely contributes to his dead look in this round, is in combination with the fact that he is up against his best friend). So, when he refuses to sing and is upset by the sight of Mizi in the paper, he hits the alien. It is heavily implied that after this, the alien who is petting his head sexually assaulted Till. Till then imagines/hallucinates (it’s unclear which) Mizi saving him, but in her child form. With the flashbacks all out of the way, here’s what’s going down in that last scene. Ivan, as a last ditch effort to ensure Till’s victory, kisses him. Along with choking him, it is seen as an act of violence by the aliens, and his score is lowered, sending him to his death. He sacrificed his own life to make sure Till would continue living :( That bonus scene implies that in All-in, Hyuna, Mizi, and the rebels were on the way to save Ivan and/or Till, but were caught, hence Hyuna’s injury and the intruder alert. I think that’s it! lmk if I missed anything yall
In regards to the bonus scene; Hyuna actually had no plans to save IvanTill according to PATREON posts, Mizi's rescue was easier to execute so they did it. She went to the Alien Stage venue for unknown reasons, which is why she tried to stop Mizi in R7 from trying to go to the stage and save Till.
yes. the alien did in fact SAed Till. you can see that the alien's clothes was gone (he did wore it in the scene before Till hit him) and Till's tie was gone. i hate those aliens.
I really don't think Till loved Ivan back tho.. And I would say his feelings for Mizi were indeed romantic not what you said? Like I get your point but I don't think is the case here? Minimum that we all don't know for sure if it's not confirmed but still would say it was romantic.
Round 6 is not the full song, as Till stopped singing. There was supposed to be a duet at the end. You must react to the full song, which you can find on the Studio Lico channel as "Cure". You must also react to the character covers, which are also on the Studio Lico channel. Black Sorrow (Mizi ver.) Ruler of My Heart (Sua ver.) Unknown: Till the end (Mizi ver. ft Till) Sweet Dream (Luka ver.) My Clematis (Till & Ivan ver.) Love & Peace (Hyuna) Drunk & Party (Hyuna) Cure (Sua & Mizi ver.) All-In (Till ver.) Ruler of My Heart (Hyuna ver.) (Traductor)
I love seeing you get all wrapped up in the story, the emotions we warned you about from the beginning just overwhelming you is EXACTLY how we felt! Honestly, when I did start watching Alien stage, I saw this round come out and got curious, but I saw there was round 1 so luckily.. no spoilers, but I will probably never get over this set until my last day. Now recapping on round 5 when Mizi and Luka were singing, there is a trend there. Mizi got mad, and you saw what happened. Ivan did the thing in this video (sorry trying not to spoil) BECAUSE... Till stopped singing. Gosh, I need like another introverted person to just go over this entire thing with, haha! Edit: Can't wait till you go over the lore video and the final again.
Also In 6:45 it is implied(and almost for not saying confirmed) that Till was sa'd by that alien because if you see it, the alien is almost naked, and next frame Till's clothes are messy and he is almost resting on that alien's body. We can take 2:01 as the beginning of this action too, several aliens take him, not only one, so that he doesn't resist.
So Ivan sacrificed himself bc he knew he would never be Till's first option, also, he thought he wouldn't even care if he dies (that's why he smiled, finally getting Ti'll's attention). Till can live without Ivan but Ivan can't live without Till 💔💔
what.... literally ivan was till's only friend, wdym "till can live without ivan" he was literally devastated when he died???? also the whole "ivan not being till's first option" thing is so wrong too bc till loved him but bc of ivan's weird behaviour till couldn't understand his feelings towards him, like he thought ivan hated him or sm (sorry if i couldn't explain myself correctly, english is not my first language)
@frut1ll1ta 1. They are talking about Ivan's feelings, Ivan though that Till didn't care about him. 2. It was never confirmed that Till loved Ivan romantically.
@JohnReavesLive My favorite cover would be Tills version of ALL-IN! The other ones are all pretty good, but I personally enjoy how Akugetsu went all out on the vocals.
@@JohnReavesLive You surely need to listen all the cure. There's in round 6 it's not all done, but listening it after round making feel shoted right in heart. Lisfen to it pls, the end of song is amazing
Now we need to see you rewatch the final round after looking a bit into the online back story!! Twitter is a great resource, but there are also comic strips posted by the creator
Ahhh I was waiting for you to get to this Round. I loved Ivan so much, this wrecked me! But basically if you notice the frame before Ivsn throws down his mic, Till stops singing and overall just looks like he's given up, so Ivan for sure takes actions to throw the match and sacrifice himself. How he does that though I feel is part strategic to make sure he loses and part pent up emotions over Till. Vivinis confirmed that they have a love/hate relationship and it wasn't as one sided as everyone wants to think, Till idolises Mizi but he had a lot of strong feelings for Ivan too just realised too late 😭
I think the lore video should come next before round 7 bc I think most ALNST lore videos were published before round 7 anyway & would bring the most understanding for round 7 😌
I really wanted to say thank you for reacting to ALNST btw I love the reactions and you actually notice more and notice things more quickly than others 👏🤭 I always wish the reactions would be even longer and even more analytical hahaha either way > enjoy them very much (always wait & then watch it with my sister) 😌
Another (not so) fun fact I only noticed after I bought & read the official artbook: At the karaoke the aliens wanted Till to sing My Clematis (Mizi & Sua's song from round 1) to mock him since Mizi's whereabouts were unknown (you can even see the lyrics of the song on the screen btw). Anyway in a life where they are pets and forced to sing, I think it is so clever for Till to protest in him being silent and not sing (courageous but he always gets punished 😩)
( First kiss and last kiss 😭😭) the full version of the song, the two of them sing together at the end, but in the MV, it was cut out and only the music was left because Ivan dropped the mic and walked towards Till.
WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSS AAAAHH, thank you :) I cant wait for your reaction to round 7 agian😂 I don't know how you are gonna watch round 7 but it would be nice if you could watch it agian and then watch your old reaction after! I dont know if thats too much but, just a request!
Damn, now we really want to see reaction to lore video after the final. I'm sure that a lot of stuff here will make sense to you after that. Still love you ❤
There are many youtubers who go into the lore and add their speculation as well, but most are quite long. Dunno if you'd like to try those or not. but they also get their info from the comic strips and twitter like someone else has commented here.
Curious: After the lore and the finale, are you gonna react to Studio LICO's covers of all the songs covered by the other voice actors? Like Clemantis covered by Ivan and Till's VAs? Or Cure covered by Mizi and Sua's VAs? Cus I mean, the way some of the others sing the songs really shows off their voices in a way we never heard. I gotta say, All-In sung by Till has GOT to be my favorite of the bunch! His voice was BUILT for that song!!! 😎
my favourite part of the song is definitely EVEN IF YOUR COLD WORDSSS CARVE SCARS BENEATH MY EYES MAY THEY LINGER ON YOUR TONGUE YOU CAN BREAK ME APARTT NOTICE MY PAIN AND MEND ME RIGHT NOWWW TO QUIET MY FEARS I'LL DROWN IN YOU SICK OF THESE NIGHTS TO COMEEEEE TO BE ENGULFED IN SILENCEEE IN YOUR GAZE WHERE IM SEEN CONSUME ME, YES, ME, OH, OHHHHH
ok so basically theres multiple reasons why ivan kissed and choked till, first being that choking and kissing till would not only bring ivans score down for till to win, but also inflicting violence on your opponent will get you killed, which is what happened to ivan. the other main reason is because ivan had so much love and emotions for till, including anger. i believe ivan choking till wasnt just like a little play to have the aliens kill him but also it was the built up emotions of till just ignoring his feelings but also ivans love for him. ivan kissing till was clearly unexpected but it really shows how much till means to ivan and the flashbacks it showed on ivans part can really show that the kiss definitely meant more than just sacrifice. also a little theory, when it goes silent before ivans part and then he starts singing, right when it cuts to the flashbacks of him and till the drums start playing at a steady pace like a heartbeat. people said and are saying that those drums represent ivans heartbeat specifically when he thinks of till. i thought it was a cool theory so i wanted to share that lol BUT onto the topic where you asked if you should watch the lore video before the final or after the final, i think you should watch it after rewatching the final simply because it may contain stuff about the final that you may not have known when you first watched it and in my opinion i do think its better to watch this series without knowing whats going on, and then looking at some analysis’s and lore videos. glad to help!!
also this isnt just it lol 😅 ivan and till have a LOT of lore that you may not catch on while watching for the first time which is why there is so many lore videos!! the lore video you’ll watch im sure will explain almost every teeny bit of information you need to know about ivan and tills situation. also the reason ivan has so much pent up anger (i believe this is the right reason) is because till has always had a crush on mizi and never looking at ivan. fyi ivan does NOT hate mizi (like some people say) because till has a crush on her. they were actually confirmed best friends in an official art!! besides that, since they were raised in alien stage, i doubt they ever learnt boundaries or manners. (it honestly depends on who their guardian is) but ivan didnt have the greatest guardian so i doubt he got taught boundaries or how to control feelings and such, which is why in flashbacks of ivan and till, it shows ivan just destroying stuff of tills or just annoying till to get his attention because he didnt know how to express his feelings properly!! anyway, this is just a summary of their relationship, its kinda complicated lol
in rounds sua is dressed in white, like a bride in a coffin, mizi is dressed in black, like for a funeral. ivan is dressed in white, like a groom in a coffin, till is dressed in black, like for a funeral.
So in the bridge of the song, Till stopped singing his parts (almost like he gave up), which prompted Ivan to take matters into his own hands to protect his everything. He wasn’t actually choking him, but actually pretending to so he wouldn’t win. Notice how after Mizi attacked Luka, the aliens took her away but she was rescued. They didn’t want the same thing to potentially happen again, so they killed him in the spot. From that, Till won and Ivan sacrificed himself for him. FYI, when this came out the internet was in SHAMBLES. Like people were losing their shit (rightfully so) but it was genuinely heartbreaking.
He wasn't kissing him because it was his last time seeing him he kissed him because he knew his own score would go down with that and till would survive... Also if you pay attention to the lyrics in the beginning till is singing sm like"you can break me apart" but when Ivan starts to sing he says that he (till) can break him apart. I think he knows that till likes mizzi but mizzi likes sua so he is offering himself as a replacement by saying you can use me instead, break me apart
So to explain a little, Ivan did kiss till on purpose, we don't see the scores before but we asume(I think) that Ivan was winning, so he stopped to sing and went for kissing till, and then he choke him to guarantee that Till wins. Also yes Hyuna got shot but the video doesn't show it directly. Fun(not fun at all) fact: In the Spotify version of this song, in the moment when they were kissing in the yt version, they sing the last chorus together harmonizing.
You should listen to the album version of cure too, there isn't that much of a huge difference overall, but the ending of the song is different and i personally like how the album ver ended
I'd definitely recommend watching the lore video before R7!! Understanding more of the lore does help it hit even harder imo. A lot of people in comments already went pretty indepth over what's been going on in this round, so I just want to point out a neat little detail that makes me go crazy due to having a degree in overthinking things: when they show the first time Till and Ivan met (right before it shows Ivan taking off his collar, which is then followed by Ivan singing aka 2:23 here) notice how Ivan looks - dirty with messy hair, etc. It's confirmed in the artbook that this very brief meeting happened after Ivan was auctioned off, said auction being a scene we can also see in round 3 (when it shows brief flashes of Ivan's life). Yet in round 3, as this was happening Ivan looked clean, with his hair in the usual style he had while young. Why the difference? It's due to the way the POV character influences what we see & the way we see things. There was no POV character during that short scene between Till & Ivan since it was shown just as the POV in the song changed and neither of them remember it - meanwhile in round 3 Ivan is shown to look 'just as he always does' in the flashback because he literally doesn't remember just how different his appearance was before he adapted to being a pet human. Another small thing: remember how Ivan nuzzled Till after taking off his collar, before they show the kiss scene ( 3:41 )? In the drawbook that comes with the artbook, there's a sketch of Till happily doing the exact same thing to a flower while Ivan watches in the background. I think Ivan learned to do that by watching Till do it, is what I'm trying to say. Also if there's any cover I'd recommend giving a listen to (since a lot of people are mentioning them), it'd be the Mizi & Sua cover of this song (Cure) btw. Till's cover of All In (which is also great) is the most mentioned, but MiziSua Cure always makes me feel so many things... That and the Sua Ruler of my Heart cover.
AUGHHHH I CANT W ALNST MAKES ME SO SAD It’s so sad that ivan was always looking at till but till was always looking at Mizi and only looked at ivan after and during his death 😔😔🤞
Actually, even in round 1, Sua purposefully tried to get a lower score than Mizi and hid from Mizi the fact that the loser would die. And Ivan crititicsed Sua for that choice but respected it and chose not to tell Mizi the truth.
I saw u mention it at 6:45, but just gonna add a trigger/content warning for everyone at 1:50 during the karaoke scene, because it’s very much implied that Till (and possibly Ivan) are assaulted during then.. it’s a really uncomfortable and unsettling scene, but if anything im glad Ivan was there to comfort Till. These Aliens gotta go man
yeah choking him made ivan's score go down, and along with that till's went up since there's the aliens voting so they got put off of voting ivan bc of the choking which isn't allowed and maybe the kiss too , ivan is more popular than till so he knew he was going to win if he didn't sacrifice himself, and also! sua also sacrificed herself for mizi, it was comfirmed in a comic that she did, but i think she missed out a small part ? not exactly sure how she did it
Ivan's last thoughts were
“thank you for being the victim of my shallow emotions”⠀⠀
nooooo dont remember me that thing QAQ
He was not ready
No one never is...
😢😢😢😢
Lol
None of us were
Luckily i was though. My bestie warned me in advance.

But basically if you notice the frame before Ivsn throws down his mic, Till stops singing and overall just looks like he's given up, so Ivan for sure takes actions to throw the match and sacrifice himself. How he does that though I feel is part strategic to make sure he loses and part pent up emotions over Till. Vivinis confirmed that they have a love/hate relationship and it wasn't as one sided as everyone wants to think, Till idolises Mizi but he had a lot of strong feelings for Ivan too just realised too late 😭
I think the lore video should come next before round 7 bc I think most ALNST lore videos were published before round 7 anyway & would bring the most understanding for round 7 😌
Vuelve a ver la final y luego la historia explicada 🫶
I really wanted to say thank you for reacting to ALNST btw I love the reactions and you actually notice more and notice things more quickly than others 👏🤭 I always wish the reactions would be even longer and even more analytical hahaha either way > enjoy them very much (always wait & then watch it with my sister) 😌
definitely watch the lore video first and then the final!! I think it would best in this order 👀 btw love your alien stage reactions so much!! 😌
Another (not so) fun fact I only noticed after I bought & read the official artbook: At the karaoke the aliens wanted Till to sing My Clematis (Mizi & Sua's song from round 1) to mock him since Mizi's whereabouts were unknown (you can even see the lyrics of the song on the screen btw).
Anyway in a life where they are pets and forced to sing, I think it is so clever for Till to protest in him being silent and not sing (courageous but he always gets punished 😩)
Thank you for another reaction!!! I really enjoy watching you analyze the videos and your comments.
( First kiss and last kiss 😭😭) the full version of the song, the two of them sing together at the end, but in the MV, it was cut out and only the music was left because Ivan dropped the mic and walked towards Till.
OMGOMGOMGOGMOMG I JUMPED WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO
WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSS AAAAHH, thank you :) I cant wait for your reaction to round 7 agian😂 I don't know how you are gonna watch round 7 but it would be nice if you could watch it agian and then watch your old reaction after! I dont know if thats too much but, just a request!
thanks for this reaction! ❤
you should re-watch the final one And maybe watch a lore video afterwards! maybe in the same episode since you've already seen the last one
up
No one is ever ready for round 6 (I still am not after watching it tons of times)
Damn, now we really want to see reaction to lore video after the final. I'm sure that a lot of stuff here will make sense to you after that.
Still love you ❤
I loved your reaction to this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 your thoughts and analysis were really good too
There are many youtubers who go into the lore and add their speculation as well, but most are quite long. Dunno if you'd like to try those or not.
but they also get their info from the comic strips and twitter like someone else has commented here.
Bro actually got the round 6 effect
notice how Ivan didnt actually choke till and fabricated harming his opponent, there was no bruise nor till struggling
Curious: After the lore and the finale, are you gonna react to Studio LICO's covers of all the songs covered by the other voice actors? Like Clemantis covered by Ivan and Till's VAs? Or Cure covered by Mizi and Sua's VAs? Cus I mean, the way some of the others sing the songs really shows off their voices in a way we never heard. I gotta say, All-In sung by Till has GOT to be my favorite of the bunch! His voice was BUILT for that song!!! 😎
my favourite part of the song is definitely
EVEN IF YOUR COLD WORDSSS
CARVE SCARS BENEATH MY EYES
MAY THEY LINGER ON YOUR TONGUE
YOU CAN BREAK ME APARTT
NOTICE MY PAIN AND MEND ME RIGHT NOWWW
TO QUIET MY FEARS
I'LL DROWN IN YOU
SICK OF THESE NIGHTS TO COMEEEEE
TO BE ENGULFED IN SILENCEEE
IN YOUR GAZE WHERE IM SEEN
CONSUME ME, YES, ME, OH, OHHHHH
ok so basically theres multiple reasons why ivan kissed and choked till, first being that choking and kissing till would not only bring ivans score down for till to win, but also inflicting violence on your opponent will get you killed, which is what happened to ivan. the other main reason is because ivan had so much love and emotions for till, including anger. i believe ivan choking till wasnt just like a little play to have the aliens kill him but also it was the built up emotions of till just ignoring his feelings but also ivans love for him. ivan kissing till was clearly unexpected but it really shows how much till means to ivan and the flashbacks it showed on ivans part can really show that the kiss definitely meant more than just sacrifice. also a little theory, when it goes silent before ivans part and then he starts singing, right when it cuts to the flashbacks of him and till the drums start playing at a steady pace like a heartbeat. people said and are saying that those drums represent ivans heartbeat specifically when he thinks of till. i thought it was a cool theory so i wanted to share that lol BUT onto the topic where you asked if you should watch the lore video before the final or after the final, i think you should watch it after rewatching the final simply because it may contain stuff about the final that you may not have known when you first watched it and in my opinion i do think its better to watch this series without knowing whats going on, and then looking at some analysis’s and lore videos. glad to help!!
also this isnt just it lol 😅 ivan and till have a LOT of lore that you may not catch on while watching for the first time which is why there is so many lore videos!! the lore video you’ll watch im sure will explain almost every teeny bit of information you need to know about ivan and tills situation. also the reason ivan has so much pent up anger (i believe this is the right reason) is because till has always had a crush on mizi and never looking at ivan. fyi ivan does NOT hate mizi (like some people say) because till has a crush on her. they were actually confirmed best friends in an official art!! besides that, since they were raised in alien stage, i doubt they ever learnt boundaries or manners. (it honestly depends on who their guardian is) but ivan didnt have the greatest guardian so i doubt he got taught boundaries or how to control feelings and such, which is why in flashbacks of ivan and till, it shows ivan just destroying stuff of tills or just annoying till to get his attention because he didnt know how to express his feelings properly!! anyway, this is just a summary of their relationship, its kinda complicated lol
PLEASE watch My clematis (ivan and till ver) in Studio Lico. You might understand their relationship more in the monologue.
Finally 😭😭😭...react to the lore video at the last and then react to the cover songs too.....especially till version of all in
in rounds
sua is dressed in white, like a bride in a coffin, mizi is dressed in black, like for a funeral.
ivan is dressed in white, like a groom in a coffin, till is dressed in black, like for a funeral.
Never clicked so fast in my tv! So excited to see your reaction
I forgot to put this in my first comment but you should totally watch a video where they point out the easter eggs hidden in this series!
So in the bridge of the song, Till stopped singing his parts (almost like he gave up), which prompted Ivan to take matters into his own hands to protect his everything. He wasn’t actually choking him, but actually pretending to so he wouldn’t win.
Notice how after Mizi attacked Luka, the aliens took her away but she was rescued. They didn’t want the same thing to potentially happen again, so they killed him in the spot. From that, Till won and Ivan sacrificed himself for him.
FYI, when this came out the internet was in SHAMBLES. Like people were losing their shit (rightfully so) but it was genuinely heartbreaking.
Wellppppp
He wasn't kissing him because it was his last time seeing him he kissed him because he knew his own score would go down with that and till would survive... Also if you pay attention to the lyrics in the beginning till is singing sm like"you can break me apart" but when Ivan starts to sing he says that he (till) can break him apart. I think he knows that till likes mizzi but mizzi likes sua so he is offering himself as a replacement by saying you can use me instead, break me apart
3:52 on this part till was supposed to sing but he didn’t i’m pretty sure that was an attempt at lowering his score so that ivan can win
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
So to explain a little, Ivan did kiss till on purpose, we don't see the scores before but we asume(I think) that Ivan was winning, so he stopped to sing and went for kissing till, and then he choke him to guarantee that Till wins. Also yes Hyuna got shot but the video doesn't show it directly.
Fun(not fun at all) fact: In the Spotify version of this song, in the moment when they were kissing in the yt version, they sing the last chorus together harmonizing.
HELL YEAH HE GOT TO ROUND 6
You should totally watch the lore video :D I personally think that you should watch final first, so that you get completely caught up. :)
You should listen to the album version of cure too, there isn't that much of a huge difference overall, but the ending of the song is different and i personally like how the album ver ended
Bro was not ready
I'd definitely recommend watching the lore video before R7!! Understanding more of the lore does help it hit even harder imo.
A lot of people in comments already went pretty indepth over what's been going on in this round, so I just want to point out a neat little detail that makes me go crazy due to having a degree in overthinking things: when they show the first time Till and Ivan met (right before it shows Ivan taking off his collar, which is then followed by Ivan singing aka 2:23 here) notice how Ivan looks - dirty with messy hair, etc. It's confirmed in the artbook that this very brief meeting happened after Ivan was auctioned off, said auction being a scene we can also see in round 3 (when it shows brief flashes of Ivan's life). Yet in round 3, as this was happening Ivan looked clean, with his hair in the usual style he had while young. Why the difference? It's due to the way the POV character influences what we see & the way we see things. There was no POV character during that short scene between Till & Ivan since it was shown just as the POV in the song changed and neither of them remember it - meanwhile in round 3 Ivan is shown to look 'just as he always does' in the flashback because he literally doesn't remember just how different his appearance was before he adapted to being a pet human.
Another small thing: remember how Ivan nuzzled Till after taking off his collar, before they show the kiss scene ( 3:41 )? In the drawbook that comes with the artbook, there's a sketch of Till happily doing the exact same thing to a flower while Ivan watches in the background. I think Ivan learned to do that by watching Till do it, is what I'm trying to say.
Also if there's any cover I'd recommend giving a listen to (since a lot of people are mentioning them), it'd be the Mizi & Sua cover of this song (Cure) btw. Till's cover of All In (which is also great) is the most mentioned, but MiziSua Cure always makes me feel so many things... That and the Sua Ruler of my Heart cover.
NO ONE WAS READY FOR THIS OR ROUND 7 HONESTLY.
Your reactions are just the best, man 😂😂 also, do the lore before R7 rewatch :’)
AUGHHHH I CANT W ALNST MAKES ME SO SAD
It’s so sad that ivan was always looking at till but till was always looking at Mizi and only looked at ivan after and during his death 😔😔🤞
Actually, even in round 1, Sua purposefully tried to get a lower score than Mizi and hid from Mizi the fact that the loser would die. And Ivan crititicsed Sua for that choice but respected it and chose not to tell Mizi the truth.
Bro was NOT prepared for Round 6😭🙏
Please watch the Lore video first before R7 rewatch. It will help put some context now that ur watching it in retrospect.
E estado esperando la ronda 6😭‼️‼️
HAHAHAHA
now its time for him to react to round 7 again.
PEAKK PEAKKKK
Do the final then the lore so you can still kinda like react while connecting the dots!
I'm so sorry for you.
I saw u mention it at 6:45, but just gonna add a trigger/content warning for everyone at 1:50 during the karaoke scene, because it’s very much implied that Till (and possibly Ivan) are assaulted during then.. it’s a really uncomfortable and unsettling scene, but if anything im glad Ivan was there to comfort Till. These Aliens gotta go man
yeah choking him made ivan's score go down, and along with that till's went up since there's the aliens voting so they got put off of voting ivan bc of the choking which isn't allowed and maybe the kiss too , ivan is more popular than till so he knew he was going to win if he didn't sacrifice himself, and also! sua also sacrificed herself for mizi, it was comfirmed in a comic that she did, but i think she missed out a small part ? not exactly sure how she did it
I'd personally enjoy to watch the lore video first before Blink, Gone.
I became numb to this song, yet felt hurt lmao
I say watch the lore video based on when it came out in comparison to FINAL cuz final is pretty new
PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL THE ALT COVERS!! THEY'RE ON STUDIO LICO'S CHANNEL
I think round 7 then lore video!
Watch the lore first before final!!
Augh!! i can’t watch alien stage. it HURTS!! but i support this video! 😂
IVAN IS ALIVE 😭😭
Right after the final imo
watch the final then the lore
Let's look at the lore first, so we have everything clear.
I think you should make the next alnst video about the lore video before you prepare yourself for the “final round” again :D
SOOOOOOO.... cool but ... when are we going to see you react to some more Voiceplay or Geoff Castellucci?
You should really watch the lore video! Like things make more sense!
Yea so Ivan’s score went down because of what he was doing with till. That was his plan.
Please watch the lore ill make everything sadder
The 666th like is mine...
Hopefully ivan isn't there 😢
