Hinami Blues is here ⁠♡

WHAT!!!

Firstly, let's get the obvious out of the way, the eyes are Mizi's and the arm is Sua's, we don't need to question that, the confirmation is shown within episode one pretty explicitly.

However, what's questioned a lot more is: who does the heart and intestines belong to?

I've seen a lot of theories say the heart is Till's and the intestines are Iven or Luka's, which are obviously really good theories, I'm not discrediting these ideas, I actually believed that at one point, however, I think what's more likely is they also belong to both Sua and Mizi. I don't think we're being shown things the other characters have lost, I think we're being shown other things Mizi and Sua lost.

I think, if the intestines were to belong to Luka (like the bow, similar to his, implies), it wouldn't make very much sense, as that'd mean either Till or Iven would be left out, which would be extremely weird (as, usually, they're done in groups of Till + Iven, Mizi + Sua, and Luka + Hyuna, but since Hyuna is obviously not included, that leaves our 2 groups and Luka). So, maybe it's Iven's? The ending of episode one seems to imply it's a possibility, but that just leaves the question, why would his have a bow on it? It's not completely impossible, it could mean something related to him we don't know yet, but I just find it to be an odd choice when a big white bow has been Luka's thing, not Iven's.

But, by that being "Luka's thing", I now include the fact it is also Sua's thing. Sua is wearing that exact same bow, I think it's hard to imply that isn't her bow.

However, I know this doesn't just mean the intestines are hers, there could always be a reason her box is there, but its not hers, even if I, once again, would find that to be a weird choice, so let's get into my next points.

If the intestines belong to her, a lot of her movements make a lot more sense, there's an odd amount of focus on her stomach in some parts and an even bigger focus on her neck, which may seem unrelated, but I think it's worth pointing out that when going onto my next point.

Suz has very clearly lost weight. She's way more skinny in her performance than at any point before. Even Mizi isn't that skinny, and she's been actively performing for way longer. Which, could just be a small detail, but it could also reference some sort of inability to eat or process her food (which, her being a zombie could make it not matter, but I think the symbolism is important). Her choking herself and pointing to her stomach could definitely be referencing the fact the thing she needs to process her food is quite literally missing. And it'd definitely explain her having so little of a stomach, if your intestines are removed, you'd definitely not have very much there when she was already skinny to begin with.

Just look at her beside Mizi, she's missing something. She was not that skinny before.

But, now, let's get onto why I believe the heart belongs to Mizi, even though I think, if you believe the intestines are Sua's, it's pretty clear cut that the heart would therefore be Mizi's.

Mizi, very obviously, has a lot of heart themes throughout the whole episode, it's hard to ignore the amount she's done hearts with her hands, and the fact her eyes have been replaced with a heart to hide the damage.

However, another thing I noticed is the amount they focus on her chest, and before you say it, yes, obviously this is a reference to the fact idols are only cared for due to their bodies, do not lose sight of the actual meaning of the show, it is first and foremost about the abuse k-pop idols go through, however, I do think it can mean two things at once, which I personally believe it does. Such as this part, where it shows her chest, and then immediately goes up to show her face, with the heart on it.

Once again, obviously a reference to the fact that people care about idols' bodies before they'll ever care about the damage done to the idols, but also, I think it's interesting to point out that it goes from her chest, where her heart should be, to her face, displaying a fake heart. It could definitely mean something.

And, moving on from that, I just think it fits what's going on with her. Everything past this is a lot more my opinion than anything, but do you notice how Mizi seems completely disengaged with anything other than the performance? She doesn't react to a single thing Sua does. Obviously, Mizi has very mixed emotions towards Sua. The last time they spoke before Mizi was turned into a Zombie was a fight where Mizi literally hit Sua, I'm not implying she should be overjoyed to be with Sua, however, she literally doesn't react, Sua touches her many times and we get nothing. And, in my opinion, it feels lifeless, Sua very obviously has some life in her, she's happy to be with Mizi, this is her "Happy End" as she puts it, however, this isn't anything to Mizi, she feels nothing. Which, in most stories, is represented by the loss of one's her or a broken heart.

To add to the idea, Sua actively has her arm cut off beside Mizi, but all Mizi does is sing. She doesn't watch, she doesn't try to stop it, she doesn't cry. She sings. And, no matter how much Mizi may be upset with Sua, we're aware she was upset when she hit Sua originally. She cried and ran away afterwards. She doesn't want Sua to be hurt even when she is the reason for it, so, I think it's worth pointing out that, now, Mizi has no reaction to it. She has no reaction to Sua's pain anymore.

Which, I can say, could be ignored; we have no idea how long they've been here. Maybe if she doesn't do the ending song, she gets the same treatment; maybe she's been beside others going through similar before, and she's now numb to it. But, once again, with the symbolism, perhaps this is meant to display "heartless" behaviour. Maybe she's meant to seem "heartless" for not caring.

But, overall, I just think it makes sense. I think Sua lost her arm and intestines, while Mizi lost her eyes and arm. I think, perhaps, we'll get similar images after each episode showing what the others lost, and this is just for those two.

I hope we all know my bum ass isn’t gonna shut up abt zombie stage for a while

was anyone else also disappointed that sua had died? i guess they are still following the key events in alien stage but i was hoping that the 3 that died in alien stage would get a chance to be shown in zombie stage 😢

SUA. SHE'S SO PRETTY. FUCKKK

^^ DUDE THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACHOTHER AAAHHHH 😭 too bad THIS happened...

Okay okay okay

ITS OUT, ITS OUT AND IM NOT GOING TO LOOSE YOUR TIME OR MINE SO LEST GET STARTED.

The first scene we get si this one. We see Mizi and Sua as children looking at a dead rat that seems to have being butchered. Mizi has blood over her and a stone suspiciously similar to the ones we see grown in the zombies bodies.

A tiny detail that may not be relevant is that the dead rat has a tiny piece of a cookie on its paws. A metaphor around that trying to get a price it destroyed the rat? Seeing how they use the image of this rat later it could be. The most interesting fact of this scene is mostly three things.

The rat is clearly infected with the same thing that years later will zombiefied Mizi and Sua.

Mizi has killed the rat. She has the zombie stone in her hand and a little of blood on her

MIZI SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN HIT

Judging by the shadow that covers the shot of the rat, the rat was already dead when Sua arrives so i dont think its her who hitted Mizi on the cheek.

Giving Mizis background in ALSNT in wich she wasnt abused directly but hurt by Shine because of neglect and lack of understanding of human needs my guess is that she got hurt at her home OR that this is mirroring that scene in the True Face comic in wich Mizi gets hit by a boy when she says that the idea of "mating" with a guy its gross and gets acussed of "seducing" the boys on purpose.

Also the injury its on the same place. more or less.

The main difference is that in Zombie Stage the hit seems to have also hurted to some point Mizi´s eye.

The Fragile God comic in ALSNT introduced us to the comcep that Mizi struggles with being fragile and helpless because of the easiness her Mother got crushed to death by accident and how easily she would get hurt by the Aliens. One of the reasons she feels atracted to Sua is because she is a human like her but much weaker, Mizi has power over her.

Maybe the reason she killed the rat is because of that. She killed it because she is stronger than it, she is not completely helpless. Even if she was easily hurt by some other person (Again my guess being her family) she too has power over others the same way.

The next shot is a Zombie laying over a newspaper on the ground, covered by a blanket. With two humans surounding him.

He has a chain binding his neck but also one of the people next to him seems to have elegant looking shoes and also is steping on the chain.

At the ground there is a Zombie Stage panflet and a piece of card board saying "Sale 80%"

Giving the little info we have, the best guess is that the Zombie is being sold, much like that scene in Round 6 when we see Baby Till being sold at 50% discount.

Later in the round well learn that the loosers of a round in Zombie Stage get a part of their body choped of and auction. But this zombie in particular seems to not have lost yet any part that we know have been auction and they are selling him cheap.

Seems like Alien Stage there more than one way to exploit humans for entertaining and monetary gain and once again Zombie Stage is just the biggest one.

From this shot and what we learned at the teaser seems that Zombie Stage is not very legal and most activities related to explotation of Zombies happen in this kind of underground city. The only source of light being that giant and artificial looking thing that seems to be at the cealing is my reason to think that.

We go back to the rat scene, Sua is here now and we see more clearly the state Mizi is in. Her cheek is swollen, and her sclera is reddish in the injured eye. There are still blood, guessing from the rat, in her face and her hands. Sua looks calm and composed in the same uncaning way she ofter dies when Mizi is loosing her mind. She looks at the rat but then lookes at Mizi, gets close to her and hugs her.

Mizi doesnt seem to move, she keeps looking at rat as she cries.

Maybe its a trick of light or the injuries on her face by i think the tear on her reddish eye seems a little bloody. But culd me just seeing things.

The song in this fist scenes is sung by a chorus that reminds me of Gregorian choruses, a musical piece sung in churches and that always has relation with religious themes.

Those bound by iron chains now

They still stare toward the night

Wounded souls still breathing

Glory be upon them

The lyrics also make reference to religious themes, its like a prayer to guide doomed souls to a better place or to beg forgiveness for them.

I dont think I have to remind that Mizisua´s romantic/tragic quote is "My god, my universe"

While the last sentence of the frist strophe is being sung we get a scene in wich the camara is advicing toward the circus tent, there are zombies around and as we get close we see MORE zombies and a sign. The Zombies are behind iron bars and strangely the sign is facing THEM, the zombies inside the enclosure

I dont speak korean and goodle translate isnt helping much so I dont know what is written here, but giving the dirty and raw look of it could be something the zombies themselves wrote.

We keep getting closer and closer to the Circus tent and there a couple of things interesting in this shots.

We see people walking towards the tent carring MERCH, Mizi and Suas merch. Mizis color is pink and her fans wear cloes with M´s while Suas fans wear while and Blue, this one seems to ber her color because of the light stick the guys dressed in white wish S´s hold.

The road to the entrance of the tent is surrounded by other smaller tents that have MORE MERCH, merch thy are selling. We see posters, shirts and cardboar stands.

ALSO, between the guyd there is this girl

Shes weating white and blue, Sua´s colors, but both her clothing and her hairstyle are more similar to Mizis. Dont know what it implies but its there.

The bunny that seems to be the symbol of Zombie Stage jumps to announce the start.

Finally Mizi and Sua are here.

They are greeting the public and Mizi seems to trip and almost loose balance.

Ins this first scene their characterization on stage seems to be much or less the same they always had.

Sua is more elegant, shy, sweet and gentle while Mizi is energetic, cheerful and playful

We knew from the teaser that Sua was not in a good state after being zombified but in Round 1 she is in much worse state now

This is her leg in the teaser

And this is her leg in round 1

Seems that the cristalized parts of the body can fall off or be ripped, because before Suas leg was only cristalized but now the only thing left of her thigh is the femur.

The interesting part is tha in the teaser the parts they showed us of Mizi were intact. We knew Sua was in a very bad state by Mizi seemed perfectly fine.

But know we know better

Sua has a lot more parts fo her body cristalized but Mizis face is gone almost entirely the only thing that remains of her face is her mouth and even that is not intacht, she was some part of her right cheek and corner of her mounth gone too.

And while Sua seems to be concious of her surroundings Mizi does not

Here, Sua has her hand on her hip, while Mizis hand is just hanging there, she is doing the dace well but she doesnt seem to know what she is doing, its more like memorized trained moves that a concious decision. At least at first impressión.

Hey look who it is, among Sua´s fans? The girl from before that we saw walking towards the tent!

And here we see the first of many images at this topic in Round 1

The oversexualization of Mizi

They give us 4 shots of Mizi with a very evident focus on her clevage and her boobs

This one being the most bold.

Its very morbid to see. Mizi doesnt have a face, the only thing that could tell us what she is thinking is her mouth that since she appeared on stage never moved from the same very big smile and the focus on this strophe as she dances focus A LOT on her body as a sexual bait.

Under the same sky, carving the same dream

You and I are connected One, Two, Three. Sparkle

There is not much to say about the lyrics here, its an idol typical pop song, and this kinds of songs usually are used to link the fans to the idol, the "You and I are conected" part. But its pretty obvious that the true meaning is that Mizi and Sua are conected to each other.

Human Mizi is back and she is tripping again!

Whats interesting in this shopt is that one of the people who are looking at Mizi has a cup, later in the scenes of the audition one of the judges ALSO wears a cup, implying that this are the same scenes.

Its okay if we are clumsy, its okay if we miss each other

This part of the lyrics is clear too

Once again its a double meaning, pop song tha fans can insert to conect with the idol as if they were together while it truly means the conection between Mizi and Sua.

And the Miss each other probably means the separation they go trhought later in their story not only the part when Sua misses the note during the adutition.

Together we can do it

But they both failed the audition

A thing I fing worth looking into in this shot is that the clothes they are wearing looks very similar o the ones of the first scene with the rat but that that time they wore a blue tie and now a grey ribbon and they look much younger than in the audition section right before.

We are back at the show and its Sua´s turn to sing her strophe

When you are out of breathe, SOS, me

Ill breathe for your instead slowly

Right now at this point fo the song and the mv this lyrics doesnt seem to be much important by knowing what comes after they are meaningful.

Mizi was struggling with her life as an idol and Sua is asking her to ask her for help, that she will do anything for her.

We see how happy Sua is with Mizi as shes braiding her hair and now THE Mizisua quote is sung by the two of them at scenes of their graduation

You are MY god (Sua)

You are MY Universe (Mizi)

I think its important that Sua sais the first half of the quote, You are my god and that Mizi says You are my universe because they say each others "My"

A symbolism for posession or that they cannot be separated from each other that they are intertwined in a matter beyond anything or both.

And I think this is an important detail, Mizi takes Suas hand and shows her that they have another chance, that there are more auditions for being an idol. They both sing

You are shining far too bright, truly

"You're! Mine! Chu!♥​ ​We'll rot away together-​ ​​​Beautifully insane-​ ​​​​ ​Only you-and me. Oh my, Sweet Scar​​ "

MAJOR SPOILERS UNDERNEATH CUT SO WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST.

It seems like these two were auditioning to debut together, but that was impossible. In this zombie performance though, they get all their old dreams to be a reality, fucked up as it is. Mizi is Sua's now, at the cost of both their autonomy.
