Okay so this is purely speculative, but because of zero escape’s history with symbolic box art, I wanted to make a post about something on this box art that I find suspicious.

I don’t want it to be true, mind you, and it doesn’t quite fit into what we know from vlr, but it marks me as odd.

More under the cut:

3ds box art:

though I’ll be using the full image to avoid distortion:

so, aside from being absolutely gorgeous and featuring our mains in the middle, we have an odd placement of one of our reoccurring characters. I’m talking about:

this guy

Okay so we all noticed right away that Junpei and Akane are back to back here, symbolic opposition yadda yadda, but one thing no one has pointed out is this:

We have 2 characters here. Not only does Junpei seem slightly off and aside from the rest of the cast, he is the only character facing AWAY from everyone.

Well, aside from the only other character it makes sense to be facing away:

I don’t know what this means, but I’m inclined to believe it means SOMETHING, whether the more obvious Junpei Is Zero idea or just a strong connection because of Zero Escape’s “no coincidences” history.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense, but then again Junpei’s involvment in the Decision Game on any level doesn’t make any sense.
