What really triggered Doha to gain awareness? Bada witnessed him murdering a villager, acted differently towards him in the next round, and Doha sussed him out.
Bada realises Doha has a broken moral compass after the torture route, and no longer thinks of him as the brave, righteous character trope for barricading the door, checking the car when the killer is still loose, etc. Doha takes those risks because he says himself it was the “rational” thing to do.
Perhaps Doha is what he always was programmed as in the game? He’s still “the authority figure who strives to solve every situation”. On an extreme side of the spectrum, maybe this enables him to do exactly what he does - kill and murder to protect, to survive. Maybe his NPC programming has been pushed to its limits after dozens and dozens of rounds, and Doha’s ‘trope’ is only part of who he is, now conscious. In episode one, when we saw Doha kill the villager, maybe that was the only solution he could come up with. Is an innocent, nearby villager really innocent? To him, at that moment, it was the rational solution.
If we apply this to Hyungshin, the “good-natured idiot” who we’ve seen subconsciously dodging flags, this could be an extremed version of his character trope?
The group suggests going out to the abandoned house and he strongly denies it, without even thinking. Jaeseob, who wants to trek back alone, is stopped by him and convinced into going together. Hyungshin is so paranoid, so good-natured, his assigned character role, at its extremity, makes him an anomaly to the game. He can avoid death, just like Doha is not meant to be able to kill the killer.
If we think of Bada, we don’t really know if he is a playable character, or if he was an NPC who gained awareness like Doha and Hyungshin seem to be doing. If he was a character, then what was his trope?
We’re told at the start that Bada’s name literally translates to blood bath. If we take his name seriously, what could this suggest about his NPC programming in the game? Does Bada orchestrate the massacre of all his friends? How could this be possible, if the Bada of the game suggests the killer was actually a family member of the one who was murdered 20 years ago?
I’m not quite sure about Bada yet, but this manhwa really is interesting… I can’t to see where the author goes with this and the origins of the game.
