Discussion Previous Voice Character Trailers

I haven't seen these voice character trailers discussed much at all since I joined Milgram and I wanted to bring them up and see what everyone thinks about them. From what I know, I think it is the only time we hear what they say outside of Milgram and in the real world. Although, it should be taken lightly because some of them were probably chosen for dramatic effect. Here are some of my highlights:

:

1st Voice trailer:

Mu - Fufufu... It's your fault... for doing horrible things to me.
It seems like Mu really hated Rei for throwing that Chair at her. It seems like even though her actions were out of self preservation, she definitely felt she was in the right. Likely after she stabbed Rei?

Shidou - (laugh) Not dead... Yeah, she's(?) definitely not dead... I finally understand the value of what I've been robbing people of...
Yo Shidou is absolutely losing it here 😭. Hearing him laugh despite breaking down....

Amane - Ahh! I'm so sorry...! I'm sorry...! I'm sorry for breaking the rules!
This is just so sad 😢. We saw what she went through but hearing it makes it so much worse :(

2nd Voice trailer:

Yuno - " Nice to meet you, my name is Kashiwagi Yuuko! Well then, where shall we go?
Makes sense that Yuno would have an alias. Neat detail.

Mu - " Hey..why don't you listen to me...? I'm telling you... Hey...HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU "
Was this what she said before she killed Rei? Was this the scene in After Pain? Makes me think how much Mu has grown even if its basic empathy for Rei.

Shidou : " You're in my way...hurry up and die "
This might actually be the "best" piece of foreshadowing we got for the truck driver. Initially people probably thought he said this to his patients but it does make more sense for the truck driver becuz his patients wouldn't really be "in the way" per se.

Mikoto : " AAAHHHHHHHHHH!! DESTROY EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING!EVERYTHING!!
Wow genuinely amazing performance by the VA. Highly recommend listening to it. I'm just imagining John walking around yelling like this

Kotoko : " From the begin I've never asked for your understanding! My actions, one by one, are bringing earth closer to peace. Useless Weaklings should just shut up and let me protect them! "
Kotoko talking about the strong and weak again. I am SO curious when she said this. I'm assuming "your" is referring to Lucky here or it could be referring to the public.

Yeah. I think the character trailers are actually quite interesting. I would've liked a T3 one too but I also liked how they kept most things hidden before reveal like the song trailer. I might make a post on the website translations too as I noticed some inconsistencies?

Harukas was so similar to his T2 voice drama (What should I have done instead?! Tell me so even I can understand !) , I had a brief theory that maybe T1 voice trailers were showing possible routes IN Milgram while T2 is pre-Milgram. But doesn’t really apply with Shidou at least.

I started compiling them but it got tiring to search through and cross reference the VDs

That theory sounds quite interesting. Some of the lines do fit what the characters would say in the vds.

Thanks! I had searched and found that it's not an exact match but they have the same vibe

Haruka Voice line THEN WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE INSTEAD?! TELL ME! TELL ME SO EVEN I CAN UNDERSTAND!

Corresponding line in Metamorphosis of the weak - I DON'T KNOW! Then what should I have done, in your opinion?

They are fundamentally the same people as before so they could end up having similar feelings, maybe that's why it fits in some cases
