🧵ANALYSIS 🧵

"BTS Live Trilogy Episode I: BTS Begins" VCRs analysis based and following BU (Bangtan Universe).

#BANGBANGCON21 #ARMYTS

Begins VCR 1. 2nd March 2013 📅

In BU, 2nd March Year 19 is the first time that the boys met up, being also the 1st day of school that year.
In the VCR we see year 2013 being that the year BTS debuted (I know that you know that 😅).

The 1st person that appears in the VCR is Jin (🐹) heading to the school with a jersey that says "Re born". Following BU, there is a note from 🐹 where he says that he came back from US 10 days before and that he has to repeat one schooler year beacuse of the systems difference.

The next one that we see is Taehyung (🐻). We see him with a white dog. In BU (Stigma Short film, The notes and Graphic lyrics), we 🐻 with a white dog, which is Dubu, his dog.
We also see that he's wearing the same clothes during Stigma Short film.

Not related to Dubu but another dog and 🐻, there is another note 28th Feb Year 10 where we see 🐻 and 🐹 first ever interaction, which was around a dog. Yes, they knew each other even before meeting during the 1st day of school, yet none of them seems to remember.

The next one to make an appearance is Jimin (🐥). In his case, what we see in the VCR isn't that accurate with BU, since after the Graphic lyrics that day 🐥 was released from the hospital and went to school by car.

However there is a note where 🐥 talks about how he used to love the playground before what happened at the Flowering Arboretum.

The next one we see is Jungkook (🐰). There isn't a lot about him related to BU that we see in the VCR when he first appears 🤔 maybe the fact that he spends more time outside than in his house due to how bad his family treats him 🤔

Let's go with the next one: Namjoon (🐨). We see him at the bus stop. The bus stop is something important in BU, we see it multiple times even in the Graphic lyrics, Highlight Reels, in the notes...also 🐨 usually takes the bus a lot, so, it's normal.

Following with Hobi (🐿) who we see eating a chocolate bar while walking to school. It's not the 1st time we see him eating or around a chocolate bar (MAMA Short Film, Magic shop and Fake Love). When his mother abandoned him the only thing she left behind was a chocolate bar.

Something to point out as well, during 🐿 part, is that we see the "Grass Flower Arboretum 2.1 K.M" sign. We see it again during Lie Short film and then in the Webtoon. This sign, as you know, it's very important since its related to 🐥 trauma.

And the last one is Yoongi (🐱) who we see looking into his phone all the time. In BU, more clearly in the Graphic lyrics, we see 🐱 with the phone as well listening to music while walking to school.

Something to point out is how 🐿 and 🐱 meeting at the crosswalk. Both have been friends for a couple of years. Like 🐻 and 🐹, they met before the "official" meeting on March 2nd.

Also, 🐱 likes to pass by the music shop before school which we see during First Love Short film.

In the Notes 1, there is a chapter titled "Everything started here", which starts with 🐹 note on March 2nd. During the 1st day of school the 7 of them came late, which got them punished to clean up the classroom turned storage like.

Revealing something else about 🐹 note that day is that the principal asked him to keep him update about everything that his classmates-friends do. Reason why we see him with an earpeace, being connected to the Principal all the time.

Both, professor who punished them and the principal seems to have something strong against 🐱, being like the 1st target to "eliminate". Obviously the teacher follows the Principal's orders but why 🐱?! Did something else happened that there is this fixation with him 🤔

Keeping up with the classroom,we see a wall filled with quotes from "1984" book by G. Orwell:
- Big brother is watching
- 2 + 2 = 5
- War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
- Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

You can check this website by @Sub_versi0n which has all the quotes identified on the wall. Thank you for your hard work 💜

I spoke about the earpiece in 🐹 which we keep seeing later during Awake Short Film and Magic shop.
We also sww him holding a Red Pill, which we also see during Awake Short Film.

Like we see many of their items appears during Wings and LY Tear era 🧐

Then the 1st VCR ends with 🐱 seeing the piano, playing it and bringing everyone together with his music. At first 🐹 didn't join, as he was receiving instructions but then 🐿 and 🐥 brought him as well.
Fun fact, before leaving again to US, 🐿🐥 are the last ones to see 🐹.

Begins VCR 2. 12th June 2013 📅

Time has passed and now the boys are good friends, they spend a lot of time together at the classroom-storage like. Same thing happens during BU. 12th June Year 19 is the day when they go to the beach for the very first time together.

I mentioned the Arboretum before, right?! Actually, they almost went to the Arboretum due to the fact that they didn't have any money to go to the beach, so 🐻 suggested the Arboretum but by seeing 🐥 reaction to this proposition, 🐱 said to keep their initial plan: the beach.

This part is very long but you can check my blog where I recompiled the notes from that year and moment.

Keeping up with the VCR, we see a scene which doesn't match with what happens on June 12th Year 19, but August 3rd Year 22. From the Notes 2, that day they all went back to the classroom-storage like to help 🐹 recovery his memory. But the walk behind them suddenly fell.

When the wall fell, they found a cabinet/closet in the Classroom-turned-storage. We see it later during Awake Short Film and BU game official trailer. Both in the VCR and in the Notes 2, it's 🐨 who opens the cabinet.

In the VCR when they open the cabinet they find 7 bulletproof vests. But in BU 🐹 (well 🐨 does first) finds his father's diary (which is not the same as his father MOS, Map of the Soul). In the diary 🐹's he wrote everything he did during his high school days and his failures.

And a diary, yup yup you're right we end up seeing it again during BST MV, Highlights Reels and Epiphany MV.

Interesting how these little things keeps appearing later even during LY era 🧐

Something I want to add is how during Reflection Short Film we also see the Phone Cabinet with chains 👀 knowing that The Notes 2 has phones at the end of the book I hardly believe this is related to the new BU arc.

Going back to what we see during the 2nd VCR, they all take one bulletproof vest and wear it. They also take one of the bullets which where on the floor and became red like the Red Pill (also a link to their previous concert RED BULLET, the 2nd part of the Trilogy concerts).

Going along with "Big brother is watching" we see that the principal is watching everything. This really doesn't happens during BU. 🐹 still has the earpiece, making reference to the fact 🐹 is reporting everything to the principal, and that we see him with the camera later.

Until there the analysis related to the VCR.
I wanted to mention few things about the posters tho.
1 - We can see that 🐥🐰 have something tattooed on their arms seems to be "B 0612 + [JK/JM] S"

Which is something thaf we see during Reflection Short film on 🐨 arm as well 👀

2 - We see 🐻 with a video game console, which we see later during Fire MV as well 🤔

3 - I talked about it before, but 🐹 and the red pills. I leave in the qtwt what means the red pill. We see a lot red/blue contrasts later as well during Wings era 🙂

And that's all. I'll leave here my analysis about You Never Walk Alone Graphic Lyrics where we see what really happened the first day when they meet.

Hope this thread was helpful and you enjoyed. Thanks for reading 💜
