), he admits that rather than being jealous of Jesus for getting her attention, he feared that she would steal Him. As all of those things accumulate, as well as moments like chasing the merchants from the Temple, Judas feel like he has to kill Jesus by his own hand and then kill himself, as that the only way he could be in peace with him. RE-EDIT: In the end he ran away to sell the Christ once He pointed him out as the traitor during the Last Supper. (

-EDIT: Okay scratch that "apparently based", the MV is definitely based on "Kakekomi Uttae" by Osamu Dazai (which you can find in English under the name "An Urgent Appeal"). This short story is all about Judas very strong and very complicated feelings towards Jesus: even if he acknowledges that Jesus is human and faillible, he still love him regardless, but due to that it is a love that is more romantic and possessive in nature. Judas wants his help acknowledged (), wants his Lord undivided attention, once asked Him during a walk along the sea if He would give up everything and live with him (

Going back to the MV, I feel like the witch hat kind of symbolize the ability of our two protagonist to stand as equals, something that Judas goes back to regularly in the short story. Starting from the Witch does not wear her hat anymore, letting her and the Maid have the same height. In particular, the betrayal dance scene reminds me of this line: "Ahh, what fun. I feel so good. Tonight will be the last night for me too. Sir, sir, please take a good look when I stand next to him tonight. Tonight I will stand as his equal. I won’t fear him. I won’t abase myself to him. I am the same age as him. An excellent young man just like him."I hope you enjoy this addition too. 😅
