・If Red and Purple were originally similar in their “childlike innocence,” then it makes perfect sense in Note Block Universe that Purple pushes Red down and heads toward the Orange King.
Purple was the child loved by his mother. But after chasing the shadow of a toxic father and constantly pushing others aside, he ended up with nothing.
・In Note Block Universe, there’s a powerful moment when Green asks Purple, “Are you a good guy (an angel)? Or a bad guy (a demon)?”
Purple begins to open up and tries to bear the symbol of a demon himself. But Green gives him back the Elytra—not angel wings!—and says, “You’re not a good guy or a bad guy. You’re just yourself. And everyone wants to hug you.”
That moment is truly, genuinely amazing. The message is clear: you don’t have to be good or bad—you should just be yourself.
・I also love the scene where, after Purple puts on the Elytra and tries to be a good person—tries to wear a halo—Green gently brushes it away with his hand. It’s his way of saying, “We want to hug you, just as you are.”
・Note Block Universe is such an incredible piece of storytelling.
・And if the reason Green cares about Purple is because Purple reminds him of Red—then that honestly makes me really happy.

・RedとPurpleが本来「子どもらしさ、無邪気さ」という点で共通したキャラクターだとしたら、Note Block UniverseでPurpleが「Redを蹴落として」Orange Kingの元へ向かうのは本当に理に適っている。
Purpleは母親が愛した子どもだったけど、有害な父親の影を追いかけ、周囲を蹴落としつづけた結果、何も残らなくなってしまった。
・Note Block UniverseでGreenがPurpleに「お前はいい奴（天使）なの？ 悪い奴（悪魔）なの？」と問いかけ、Purpleが自己を開示して悪魔の象徴を自ら背負おうとしたときに、エリトラを返して（天使の羽根ではなく！）「お前はいい奴でも悪い奴でもなくお前自身で、みんなもお前とハグしたいと思ってる」と語るの、本当のほんとうにすごい。いい奴でも悪い奴でもなく、お前自身になるべきだというメッセージ。
・その後エリトラを付けたPurpleが尚いい奴になろうとしている（天使の輪を背負おうとしている）のをGreenが手で払うシーンも好きだ。お前自身とハグをしたいということ。
・Note Block Universeは本当に素晴らしいストーリーテリング！
・GreenがPurpleを気に掛ける理由がRedに似てるからだったら、嬉しい。
