WMG / Alien Stage

Go To

Someone will lose their round on purpose.
Seeing how the episodes are focused on the relationships between the contestants, and how the competition is tearing them apart, it wouldn't be out of question for someone to lose on purpose, just to protect the person they're going up against.

This could potentially be Ivan in a match against Till, based on these images.

  • Confirmed. In Round 6, Ivan strangles Till in the middle of kissing him, all while keeping track of the scoreboard to ensure that the latter wins.
  • Sua is implied to have also lost on purpose by one of the Bonus Material comics.

There are measures in place to prevent ties from occurring.
In Round 1, you can see both Sua and Mizi getting a score of 86, before Mizi gets one more point at the last second.

Considering the way the competition is structured, each round needs to have a winner in order to keep the show running smoothly in-universe. Therefore, it would make sense for the aliens to just randomly pick someone as the winner in the event of a tie.

Mizi will have a Sanity Slippage
Her girlfriend died in a singing competition, for one, and the possible Yandere-ish nature or Till, she may end up losing it. But still staying adorable as hell.
  • Confirmed, though only temporarily. She loses it and beats up Luka in Round 5, but is doing better by the events of All-in.

Contrary to that, Luka is the one with an unstable mind.
An adorable blond boy who makes his debut playing with a Rubik's cube with a blank expression on his face...Gives off some vibes.
  • Seemingly confirmed by All-in, with him smiling and blushing after having killed Hyuna's brother.

Luka is a previous winner.
In the trailer/intro video, we saw Luka being surrounded by cameras and mics, and seemingly being bored or tired of the display. None of the other participants seemed to receive the same level of attention. This makes me think that 1) Luka was the winner of the season before this one and 2) the winners have to inevitably compete in the next season. It might hint that winning won't result in any sort of freedom in the long run, and that Luka has become disillusioned and tired of the entire gimmick, being forced to go through it a second time.

Hyuna is Zeus.
On the official site there is an image of a glitched out profile for a girl named "Zeus" whose hair colour and eye shape resemble that of Hyuna. Based on the Ominous Visual Glitch nature of it, this is likely the "girl who will break the fate of humans ruled by aliens". Adding on to the "Luka is a previous winner" theory above, I believe Hyuna/Zeus, the little boy from the prologue and Luka were previous contestants, with Luka having won against the boy while Hyuna escaped, losing her leg in the process and needing a prosthetic one as a result. She then entered the competition looking to avenge the boy by going after Luka, though she may end up changing her target to be the show itself instead.

The final round will involve a Hyuna vs Luka song.
The story has been building up to a confrontation between these two, as well as a deeper exploration of Luka's character since the prologue, and a Till vs Luka match would make for a rather anticlimactic finale, with Luka being a veteran who is not afraid to take advantage of his opponent's weaknesses and/or trauma, and Till being at his Despair Event Horizon (not to mention that the situation is remarkably similar to Round 5). Most likely, Hyuna and Mizi will storm onto the stage during the match and rescue Till, only for Hyuna to be forced to sing in his place.

Alien Stage takes place in a Shared Universe with all of Vivinos' other works.
Vivinos has made Easter Eggs of her works before - there is a reference to Magical RuRu in Pink Bitch Club, and a woman resembling the protagonist of Suki Suki Daisuki appears in Magical RuRu. The only time we see the Earth in Alien Stage is very briefly during Mizi's Internal Monologue in Round 1, and the state of the planet after an Earth-Shattering Kaboom at the start of Alien Stage (the prologue). Thus, there's nothing stopping us from assuming that a decade or so after all of the events of the Trigger Pop shorts and Pink Bitch Club, an Alien Invasion occured, and the aliens started training some of their newly-acquired humans to be Idol Singers in a Deadly Game.
