Can you please tell me what exactly "No Regret" has to do with the song? I see it lately in all your maps so you I assume you want to establish it as some sort of gimmick for all your high difficulties?
Regretless Oni =/= No Regret
Most of the Regretless Oni has nothing to do with the song. It is just my "other style of mapping." While, yes, No Regret is being used in all ranked high difficulties, but that is only 2, and both songs are chosen to fit the naming of No Regret
Music video could be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYCQrXx8hLw Before I start explaining my interpretation on this song, I would just like to first establish the fact that art can be interpreted in any ways you like. A hundred viewers will have a hundred different interpretation. As long as an interpretation is backed up, there is no such argument as wrong answer. The following paragraphs will explain as to why I have chosen the name "No Regret", and how it links to the title, movie and my interpretation.
"The last reason, you, I'm in this world" is the text that could be found in 0:05~0:06seconds mark in the music video [1]. In a music video that is all about misanthrope (cynical) and 厭世 (ensei, hatred towards the world), well, what does this mean to me? I interpret this as Alice's (the main female character) lover, someone who made her without regret stay in the world that she antagonize so much. She has the will and determination
(undertale pun intended) to wait for this person's return, she has no regret in her action; thus, she lasted. Why is it that she is waiting for someone important (most likely lover) to return? If you take a look at 0:21, she is looking outside of the window for hope, as the light is used as a metaphor for hope, for someone that she finds truly dazzling. (as well as 2:07, where she is with someone with male body shape [6])She is elated to find the person she is waiting for; thus, she went out to the world that she frowns upon. But what does she get in consequence of that? She did not find the one she was looking for, instead, other couples (shown by the overlapping symbolism for gender at 00:41 [2], as well as how they are connected in 00:54~00:56 for a very brief moment), then again reminds her how lonely she is. After going through all of the hatred, complication, in the end, she finds herself ending up with nothing (1:40 [3]). Following by that scene, she is full of hatred, deduced from the irregular shapes and blood splatter imagery; in the end, she picks up her knife (1:53 [4]), with yandere as hell face (1:57 [5]), ready to end everything. Going full rampage mode, without any conscious, without any mercy, turning into something that is fully relentless. Which as we can see from her actions, she has No Regret.
Does this satisfy your question, Dr?
