Oh no, but you didn't comment on one of the best things about this OP. At 10:04 when the title shows up on screen, on the left, you can see that the writing of the kanji is very sharp. But as you read more towards the right side, the writing becomes more blunt and cutesy. It's like going from Times New Roman to Comic Sans. It's symbolizing Satoru going from his adult self to his child self.

+amon nunes FarofaPoop Some people might say that And I cant blame but Its not out of place. it was a hidden concept of the plot that satoru's timeline now changed Because of a jump leap for being in a comatose state. So now the future/life he once had has been erased and the future of his friends are now moving forward without him which is why he was not there. Kinda Feels like HE was the one who was erased(not kayo) from the reality/original timeline he once knew, You see what I did there, No? okay :(. It was just rushed because the anime rushed some parts and changed some parts from the manga because they didnt want a s2 . If the show was more than 12 I can see that opening be used several episode before going back to its original op People would easily Understand its deeper meaning and about the story about kayo and Airi's Role. Ep 10 and forward really felt rushed to me when I read the manga with its differences.

I just think you missed on only one interesting part of the OP. And that is the scene where the blood spills over Kayo, Airi and Based Mom. With Kayo, the blood, despite covering only partially the top right of the screen, has already overlapped her face, alluding to her death being in the past. On Airi, it is coming closer to her, but it only manages to barely touch her arm and leg, as she survives the attempt on her life with injuries on these same places. And for the Mom, the blood is almost completely covering her face, but it is still flowing, as her death is recent and not all the way through before Satoru finds her.

I am amazed that you just zapped the fact that Jun is standing powerless in GREEN lights pointing out that he is the opposite of a danger but can't prove it / has been trapped (locked up) ! Also the fact that we're looking at him from Satoru's point of view also and him turning back unable to see us marks a disconection imaged by the bars saying Satoru can't help him. And the image isn't moving, that is important to show that the situation isn't going to change (and right then the time thing happens) The mom and the other images are also static meaning the same thing but then Satoru walks forward unfreezing everything. Maybe I just pointed the obvious I don't know, did I ?

Satoru's mom noticed Kayo and told her to go live a better life. That's when Kayo stopped and decided that she was going to move on, whether Satoru woke up or not.

I love the way you plugged your Patreon. It actually worked on me.

Kayo and Kenya are amazing. They are my favorite characters.

"All the cars are black and white except two" Actually, only one of those cars is white, so I don't think it's fair to call attention to the blue and red as being separate from that one. Notice that the two black cars are on the edges-- possibly as a symbol of death at the beginning and end, like, say, the deaths in the past and the present that lead to the conflict of the series, also acting as a frame for the white, blue, and red. Red is in the center, meaning violence is the focal point of the series, and, to the left, reading in a Japanese approach of right to left, violence gives way to hopeful blue, and, eventually, to pure white, while the black of death still exists in Satoru's mind as he races to stop the murders.

When covering the first version of the OP you said that the man in the jail cell with the green light was Jun Shiratori, however in version two of the OP there is no man in the cell, showing that it was actually Satoru who was being pictured.

Hey Geoff, I love your analysis, and I was eagerly waiting for this What's in an OP? episode since ERASED came out. So glad you could finally cover it! Even so, I'd like to point out something: The person "sitting" in prison IS NOT Jun Shiratori, it's Satoru. There's 3 pieces of evidence that support this: 1. The inmate's hair. If you pay close attention, the style is more remnant of Satoru than of Jun. 2. The shot itself. On Episode 1 (I think), Satoru thinks about Jun and his death row; when he is shown, Jun AND the camera itself are clearly different from the one in the OP. 3. The OP Without Satoru. In this OP, the inmate is also missing, hinting that it was Satoru all over, as that would've been his fate if he didn't Revival one last time. Thanks for reading, and best of luck with future episodes!

+shelby ladra Well, given that only one female of this anime isn't underage, it would be quite weird to see a cameltoe... Oh, wait... In SAO... OH WAIT...

It's definately not easy to make an analysis like you do, man. Awesome job, thank you!!

I liked seeing your face! This was amazing as usual. My mind was blown when you mentioned that the teacher was in the glass shards, I never noticed! Then again I only watched the OP like two or three times. I need to start watching OPs they give so much insight in these shows.

Do you think the lyrics is worth analyzing in these videos? Also, yeah, do the ED please :3

+Katromore DxD Suggested amount, "Like, a million". 0:50 xD talk about details.

As soon as I saw Erased's OP the first time, I knew you'd be digging into it. It wasn't full of hidden meanings, but it was -really- well put together. Watching your content has me noticing these things now. Thanks for doing what you do. Hope you do more of it.

wow that was amazing!! Great job, I really enjoyed it. I will for sure be watching more videos.

Just saying, that wasn't jun in the cell with the green light. That was Satoru

nope, they showed that same image in episode 1 or 2 when talking about Jun. The reason he wasn't in the cell in the ep 11 op was probably bc satoru prevented him from being framed so he never went to jail.

+Percy Pikmin I thought so too initially but there's a small detail that contradicts this: - The person in the prison cell was back behind bars in the final episodes opening. The question is: "Could that even be Satoru? He was never shown in a cell after all..." True, but the opening works with metaphors and (potentially cut) concepts just as much as it employs foreshadowing. And since he was captured as well as handcuffed by the police it's obvious that this is the future awaiting Satoru in his fucked up (default?*) timeline. Now, much more important, could that still have been Jun? No. No, it couldn't have been him. Because, as you yourself pointed out, Satoru changed the past so much at that point, that "Yuuki" never got incriminated. "But wait! It may just be the Jun from the fudged up timeline, right?" Not exactly. First of all, if that was the case, why would he be missing in the previous episode's op? And secondly, at that point in the series, the future was already changed for the better so why would that future even still be relevant? It's way more plausible, that this is a metaphor for the murderer screwing up the protagonist's life, one way or another. Not to mention Satoru's (and co.'s) entire life(s) was (were) forcefully impacted/restricted, which is implied by a jail sentence, whose entire point is to restrict contemporary freedoms. But hey, that's just my train of thoughts. If there's any detail I overlooked, which may turn all of my inane ramblings upside-down, please feel free to point it out! *Whether the first timeline we observe is even the first or not can be debated. There isn't all that much pointing towards such a possibility, but there isn't much disspelling it either. So it's very possible, that when Satoru as a child said, he could have prevented Kayo's murder, he may not have blamed himself for no reason. Chances are he already had "revivals" as a kid or another older version of him already tried to change the past, but failed and was stuck too long in his child body. That, coupled with the traumatic experience/depressing reality that he was powerless against fate, prompted his mind to erase his more mature/intelligent/calculating part as a result, Admittedly that is, if anything, not much more than an impressive display of hugely grasping at straws, but... eh... speculating is fun at times. I'm somewhat niffed, that Jeff didn't mention how similar Satoru's and Yoshio's poses are in the shot with Airi, Kayo and the mother. It was a great... red herring, as it turns out, for Satoru BEING the killer, but at least it implied their two-sides-of-the-same-medal relation. But oh boy, I'm rambling again... sorry, I kinda tend to get sidetracked on occasion. Not to mention that wasn't even part of the original conversation, so I'll stop here.

It follows the timeline, so he saved everyone in exchange for being in a coma, thus jun not being in jail

This series of "what's in an OP" is so interesting and makes me appreciate shows I already liked even more. I hope to see more of these in the future, especially the Eva one you've mentioned before, it'd also be great to see something from the fate series.

YEAAAS I JUST FINISHED THIS ANIME AN HOUR AGO AND NOW THIS IS UPLOADED WOOOOP! Seriously though I would love to see an ED analysis and find more about the spider web story.

+Mother's Basements I'm guessing your gonna do a whats in an op for the new jojo, but are you gonna wait for the series to finish first?

Ok...I haven't noticed it before, but now with your replay of that scene...look at yashiros feet at 2:30 as he takes the last step. Now I can't fucking unsee it

I don't see it. Never mind. I see it now. Ghost powers.

I might just be one of your biggest fans bruh. I read the manga when the anime came out and just by chance I’m watching the anime now and while I’m watching it, it reminded me of your video and came back to watch it. It’s crazy just how rewatchble they are.

I adore this explanation. Creators don’t put details in for no reason and you coined it!! Thank you for your analysis

2:55 >Headphones They're earmuffs. It's Winter and constantly snowing in the show. Also it's 1988, headphones barely exist, especially for 10 year olds.

Maybe do the OP to Evangelion or Madoka Magica?

Another amazing vid Geoff!

Thanks for the thorough analysis, I'd really love to see you analyze the ending of Erased as well!

Can you do Hyouka's openings? Both the first and the second are very interesting.

+mariosonicboom123 YES PLEASE

I'd like to point out water symbolizes rebirth or... revival? Maybe??

You know I was watching this thinking you wouldn't actually get to the OP without Sotaru in, thank god you did, I am actually so thankful someone else felt the need to comment on something so small yet so big at the same time. Also I think its a really cool idea to cover the ED as well, like you said yourself you loved the show and all, the ED is such a beautiful song as well. Can't explain how much I love these videos. Thanks.

Seeing you unravel all the hidden messages in the OP of Erased alone, and finding so much awesome symbolism in it, kinda makes me wonder why Digibro felt the way he did in his review of it. Also, I never noticed the reflection of Yashiro in Satoru's shattered glasses. Spot on for that.
