Hi, I've seen your theories on Mikoto. And it makes me questionning about the Fortune Telling in MeMe. We see regulary the Bluekoto is represented as the Hanged Man in the Tarot (In the visual key of the season 1, in his outfit in the MV, and in the paintings) Would Greenkoto be represented as The Fool (The another painting), and Redkoto as the Death? Because he pulls the card in the end of the MV.
That type of cards always have a deep meaning, do you think that it could give us hints on each Mikoto?
Hi Anon and thank you for sharing your observations! Because of the word limit in Retrospring, please excuse this very curt response!
I have yet to fully investigate the Tarot cards and the design they used for it. Mikoto's Tarot Deck "genre" for lack of a better word is very interesting. Normally, I would give my Rider Waite interpretation for the cards but with an art style like Mikoto's, the meaning of a card can change as each Fortune Teller has their own "wavelengths" so to speak when picking their cards.
The Fool usually means new beginnings and Death usually means a major change in life. It's most likely it's about his new situation being in MILGRAM.
On cursory view, it seems they are portraying Redkoto as "The Devil" and Greenkoto is currently a hidden card (facedown on the single chair). This is just my guess but, it's most likely that Greenkoto's Tarot card is either "The Moon" or "Temperance."
Hanged Man is interesting because any of these interpretations would work for Mikoto -- someone being suspended in time (standstill) and/or path to repentance.
I hope this is OK for now!
