@@MortedArt if you noticed unlike in the middle of the MV where gura Manges to grab the trident this one the trident goes through her

I agree. The more I watch it, the more I understand the meaning behind each phrase. During the start it shows she gets defeated by herself. Getting stabbed. . Later on we see Gura having that same flashback

過去の辛さを振り返る

And when you add the scenes of skirt seemingly destroying everything in her path while hoodie is trying to correct it (ex. the flower on that hoodie skipped over) probably brings out how she's felt over the years pretty well. She even mentioned in the announcement stream for this song that "she's never put her heart out like this".

That part at where Atlantean Gura coldly crushes the flower, and original Gura hops to avoid crushing what's left of it...there's so much depth in even that little scene. And the whole video and song is like that. The more I watch and listen to this the more depth I find.Bravo Gawr Gura. Bravo everyone working on this. This song holds both passion, depth, and mystery. This is a Magnum Opus.Whatever is on the other side of the door, we wish you well. I hope we meet again some day, but regardless, it's been an honor.

The stories continue, her alter (the red one) walks towards the door followed by gura (the white one). "voices rise in my head, the hands that pull at my thread" Represent all the voices and 'The Ones' that try to control her ( ), yet her alter ignore it and still trying to quit and keep walking towards the door, destroying anything on her path ( 2:13 ).

The more I watch this the more visual cues I catch. The shot at , where the focus isn't on Gawr Gura, the ships sailing winds of jealousy, or the waves rolling over the PoV, but the door beyond them.

When her alter finally reach the door and about to open it, gura run and try to prevent her ( ) but her alter is too strong that she's thrown away instead and drown into the sea. After drowning deep inside and thought everything is over, The Myth finally showing up one by one (

, on what was about to happen. She manages to stop the attack but ended up drowing in the abyss. Having no hope to make a change. Showing Myth here

Suzume reference? 🚪

We swim against the current's aimIn dark we change as smoke returns to rainNavigating sunken depths and all of its debrisAnd no more hands upon my words they only speak for meFor all the ones who try to silence thunderI'm the wave that pulls you down and under

Blue falls again, inevitably, while Red sings , trying to make Blue understands the current has changed direction and they can't fight against it.

Odysseus, Waiting Waiting

we all saw this whale before... it's from the mumei MValso Gura in this moment kinda looks like the girl that approaches Mumei in her MV. Always thought that was supposed to be Gura.

just speaks

Domain Expansion! Self-embodiment of Perfection!

When I saw Ame, I couldn't help crying😭

The best part 🔥 🦈

, is telling us how they help her fight the deep sea, including herself. Getting that boost really help her swim back up and fight herself. But instead of defeating her other self, she decides not to hurt her. She won't become the same as the other self so she decides to do it in her own way.

when I see the golden pocket watch I get so emotional... truly the greatest scene of the MV.

), holding her, carry her, pull her up, and give her courage to keep fighting and finally gura silhouette and lyrics "ill listen carefully" (

*Ame* - Every day i'll stand with me

UPDATE: I THOUGHT IT WAS A STORM THAT WAS APPROACHING BUT NAY... IT'S A TSUNAMI OF MEMORIES 😭💛❤🧡💜💙

Someone on reddit said something like this about this scenes: Ame is someone who listens and understands her, Calli is someone who will carry her when everything is too hard, Kiara is someone who will always lift her up when she's down, and Ina is someone who will give her a big warm hug. As a casual watcher, I dunno what their relationship and interaction actually looks like, but I think that's a beautiful interpretation.

*Calli* - and i'll fight the drought of shallow sea

be kind Mori 😅 thank you for everything gura 💙

. This whole section of the song is fantastic, of course, but this specific shot, the image of Calli - *Death herself* - cradling Gura, is what always gets to me, out of all the imagery in the MV. You can almost hear her saying "Dammit, Gooba, I'm not taking you today."

*Kiara* -

*Ina* - As ships sail winds of jealousy

from on, its just sheer chills. That's got guras voice but the true voice of the girl behind gura and I love it SO SO SO much.

) which represents her fans who always support her and she always listen to, give her the ability and strength to fight back.

That "YEAHHHH" followed by the insane drop at "LET IT ALL BURN DOWN" and the epic fight sequence was SO GOOD. I was blown away the first time I listened to it and idk how many times I replayed that part already. Amazing work Gura, Casey, and Mazu. Wish you the best following your own path and choosing your life's door yourself like the MV's ending.

thank you gura, casey edwards, Mazu, Artrior, Kuro Lee, everyone who worked on this song and animation. YOUR LOWER REGISTER SOUNDS INCREDIBLE OH MY GOD GURAAAA YOUR VOICE IS INCREDIBLE @

part makes me shivers and feel goosebumps my hairs on arms stand up straight 😅

までのそれぞれのみんなはぐらを抱擁したり支えてるけどぐら自身は沈めようとしてるように見える。自分を責めてしまうほどプレッシャーがものすごかったのだろうか何はともあれぐらの健康と幸せを願いましょう

I know they aren't credited, but after it showed Myth did they all come in and start doing backing vocals? I swear I hear at least Kiara and Mori in the back.

Cool detail I just noticed, at around when they clash, there’s 1 frame where it shows 2 sharks fighting

I somehow didn't notice this before, but that one frame with the sharks at is soo cool.

One frame of two sharks at . Easter eggs are fun.

この戦う場所そもそもが中身の心の中戦いが終わる時に泣く

With all that help, gura is finally able to fight her alter and winning, but in the end, they understand each others ( )and the alter gura vanished , trusting and leaving all decision to gura. After standing for a while,Gura Finally reach to the door, open it, and "while we all pretend if this is the end, she'll do it again"

The ah in the closed captions made me chuckle

@@Cheese_bourger Yeah it's actually my favorite part of the video, check out the change in "Skirt's" expression at

When one door closes another opens up may your future be blessed with happiness and success gawr gura 🥰 our lil shark princess from the deep 💙🦐🦈
