NCT 127 Limitless MV

As said before there're 9 members in NCT 127 now: Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, WinWin, Mark & Haechan. I don't think there is any specific storyline in the MV, but i found quite a few interesting notes regarding the theory. To the beginning let me point out a screenshot i found in NCT 127's Taste The Feeling MV:

 Look at the wall ... closer ... YES! It's written Universe up there just when they showed Taeil! Believe me already...? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Nevertheless let me start with the actual MV theory for Limitless [#1 Rough Version]! :D

1.  The Universe and The Answers confirmed(?)

Me and my friend hawk-eyed (lol i doubt that's a real word, i'm sorry for my English, it's not my mother language) through the MV really close and many times. We noticed many different aspects regarding the theory and this was what my friend first noticed. So .. i wanted to check it out more specifically and i noticed that this actually crossed with the theory!

So the thing i'm talking about is that the boys are often seen in groups of 3 during the MV. Let me list down the groups here:

1. Doyoung, Mark, Taeil

2. Haechan, Taeyong, Yuta

3. Jaehyun, Johnny, WinWin

The first question that came to my mind was: "why are they together so often?". Well again, i see there's one Answer and the Universe per group. Does that mean something? I think it could mean that the two Answers have gained two supporters each and IF that would be the case, the MV of Switch comes to my mind since they are actually teamed up the same way (except for WinWin who's not in the MV). What about the group #1 above? I guess Doyoung and Mark haven't made up their minds yet. tbh i hope that none would've since the war is likely to come if this continues...

There's one thing about this i noticed too. Each of the teams can be seen without their Answers or the Universe. This is a confirmation about them to be in their roles, no? Since ... for about 5th time ... the Answers and the Universe cannot be seen only heard. But, that's only when using the 7th sense, the dream sync(?). Well, i should keep that in my mind...

Group #3

It seems i will start with this group. Here is the group #3 Jaehyun, Johnny and WinWin. About their previous roles ... well Jaehyun is the perfect creation, WinWin is the 1st/2nd Answer and Johnny's been a mystery, there's not been much told about him (only that he was the leader of the bad guys in Switch). I think this MV tells a lot about Johnny regarding the theory, but first i'll concentrate on this group and his role with the two boys.

... ... ...

I think there's something bad going on with this group. To be honest i think this could be the start of Johnny becoming the leader of the bad guys or in other words their enemy. There are many signs to this, but i will tell about them later in the next section :)

and what i said before, here's a scene of the group without their Answer, WinWin.

 There's this one scene that caught my attention regarding this group. In a scene without Johnny, Jaehyun is accepted into WinWin's team i think. Other thing i think is that Johnny will not like this... Anyway they would be a team from now on...

Group #2

The group #2 consists of Haechan, Taeyong and Yuta. I think these three are not seen together that often compared to others. Taking that into consideration i think these three don't know each other that well or at least they have no problems with one another.

Here's the group without their Answer, Haechan. Still there's a sign of him, that spray paint can. He might be there, but they don't just see him.. :/ ... because you remember the can, right?

...this here, which actually came back again.

There's this one scene that caught my attention regarding this group, too. Only Taeyong is missing, but i think that Haechan lured Yuta into his team. Haechan shows Yuta a card (which is not shown and it annoys me too much for words to describe) and i think the card could mean/show something to Yuta.

..mostly because this scene happens too. He's in. (•̀ᴗ•́)و

And about the cards..

..this is the only scene shown which is similar. While me and my friend noticed this, she noticed a bigger thing: the cards read 3, 5 and 7 which are the number of members in NCT U's Without You, The 7th Sense and NCT 127's Firetruck or NCT DREAM's Chewing Gum. Haechan then could've told something about the other members to Yuta, i am not sure but it is a possibility. After thinking clearly, Jaehyun is the only member who is in each of these songs (except for Chewing Gum kkkk) so it could have been about him?

dat face tho... who has drawn that lmao

Group #1

This is group #1, Doyoung, Mark and Taeil. I doubt they have anything against each other, but why haven't the two boys picked any Answer with whom to side with? Maybe they don't want to follow either of them? They could only side with the Universe since they don't want to be against him in any way, maybe?

Well, here's a scene of the group without the Universe, Taeil. This somehow worries me a little since Doyoung has his hand over Mark's neck...

...more so because this scene flashes really quickly just before the first chorus. Somehow this seems really off ... Mark looks really sad/upset/lonely ... and somehow this feels like it's only a memory of someone :c   for some reason this jacket of Mark's brings the meeting of Haechan and Yuta to my mind.. not sure if they are all connected in any way tho..

This section was about more proof of the Answers and the Universe, no? I'mma start with the Universe and well, let me point out this screenshot of the MV too:

What if this video clip was taken by another member? It has always bothered me as to why there are scenes in which Taeil is not caught fully on camera. So, maybe they hear him and film somewhere near where they hear him because they don't see him.

This is another similar situation. Again Taeil isn't fully on camera, only the part where they could hear him -- him taking steps on a pond.

This gif shows a really really short clip from the MV, in which you can actually see a pic of Taeil flashing...

..It's this photo. There's nothing odd about it, just wanted to show it as a proof. :)

In this scene Taeil is the only one who is not singing the chorus, but the background vocals. Of course i know that's because he's the main vocal and actually is singing the backing vocals during the scene, but still i find this really cool and related to how he's the Universe. ^-^

About the flashlight after a long time! It's been shown in the previous MVs too (in Chewing Gum .. it's the only one i can think of hahah), but here's the flashlight again! So, what does it mean? I checked a few sources and i found a few matters:

Source #1

"To see a flashlight in your dream suggests that you are questioning certain issues about yourself. You may be trying to shed light on your deeper thoughts and/or subconscious feelings. It symbolizes sudden awareness, insight, and the ability to find your way in a situation."

Source #2

 "To dream of a flashlight represents examination or questioning of certain issues. You may be trying to understand or "shed light" on the cause of a problem.

It may also symbolize sudden awareness, insight, and the ability to find your way in a difficult or uncertain situation. You are now able to see what the problem is."

Source #3

Finding your way, or looking for insight, understanding, or discovery—as in "shining some light on the subject."

Source #4

"In general:

Flashlight announces that one should bring light in a dark matter.

Psychologically:

The source of light which lights up deceptively single points and can thereby illuminate to the dreamer only a little. She brings only in little things light, leaves us, otherwise, however, in the darkness--. If the flashlight does not burn, although we switch on them, we will be possibly soon poorer around hope.

Popular:

(European ones):

• see: brings unsettled or opaque relations,
• with a luminous one: light is brought in an opaque matter,
• with non-functioning want to shine: in spite of all efforts one will create in a matter no clarity."

Source #5

 "If you used it indoors must not act impulsive, even though you get tempted to do it."

  

All of these described flashlights in a dream. There are many aspects about which one to look for. These could all mean what the flashlight themselves mean, but i doubt that those could mean this many things at once. However, that screenshot above shows a flashlight in Mark's hands but it's not functioning, at least not very well. What would that mean considering the sources above? ~~ If the flashlight does not burn, although we switch on them, we will be possibly soon poorer around hope. ~~ with non-functioning want to shine: in spite of all efforts one will create in a matter no clarity. ~~ So, it sounds kinda bad... I still hope that Mark will not lose hope about something even if this could lead into that... It is still a little confusing because in NCT DREAM's Chewing Gum MV, Mark's flashlight is working well. Could it be because of the Answers and the Universe? They weren't there at that moment...

... because Taeil's is really bright :O

Even WinWin is playing with it in one scene. But somehow i find this really cute and creepy at the same time lol Creepy cause of the meaning, but cute ... oh well it's WinWin only playing with a flashlight (≧◡≦)

This photo bombs in the middle of a dance scene. As you can see, there're no Taeil & WinWin in the pic. Regarding Haechan in the matter ... i think he's seen sometimes because Taeil is more determined to follow WinWin. This shows in the next screenshot too.

I just noticed that Taeil is on the highest spot and WinWin on the second highest. I just couldn't be without thinking that this could mean the "hierarchy".

I think this shows quite well how Haechan is taking things.. poor thingie T.T

and that Jaehyunie creeping there... does he have some important role in the matter too? :/

There is this 'stop' -sign in the place where Haechan is shown too. It's quite sad since i think it could mean his inner thoughts. But then again i don't think he wants to give up his spot to the other Answer.

 See this? This is Haechan in Taste The Feeling MV and there's a ONE WAY -sign on the very right. I think he had wanted to show his way to the Universe and prove it right, but is thinking about stopping ALL WAY since the signs so say. :/

it might be only regular signs too, i don't drive a car or anything so i don't know that much

2. Johnny's life

The long-awaited story of Johnny's life is here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

...well it's not that happy so let's not include such emoticons here...

 Let's start at the beginning. I think Johnny was a friend of Doyoung's. There are these scenes in which Johnny looks at Doyoung while he doesn't notice him. There is also this...

 I think these two were closely related. They could have been best friends or such until the scientists came. Which brought me to this...

 See Johnny's hat fall off? I think that Yuta and Jaehyun could have been brought to the scientists at the same time with Johnny. What could have happened is that Johnny was dropped out of the whole research thing. I think this is why Johnny has a bit ill-mannered/bad relationship with Jaehyun since he's became the perfect creation and stole the friend of his. this is starting to sound like a fanfic of DoJae drama lmao

As to why Johnny will become the leader of the enemy would start with this. He is clearly trying to lead the Answer he chose, WinWin. Because Johnny is/was the scientists' drop-out he probably doesn't have as many skills as the others could get and that's why he decides to turn the Answer into his ... well assistant of some sort. But because Jaehyun chose the same Answer as Johnny did, he won't turn WinWin against him and most of all because Doyoung hasn't chosen a side yet, Johnny probably waits until that moment. But then again ... what does Johnny have against Haechan, Taeyong and Yuta? Why does he want to turn against them? Maybe he wants to show people how powerful he can get only having the "right" Answer by his side and get the Universe join him because he's lost everything and wants it back? Well if i put it like that it's actually quite touching T.T

 To note one thing, i find this kinda suspicious. It feels like Johnny and WinWin could be spying on the other team OR they could try to make the other team not their enemy but as comrades and try to avoid the "war". Again to note one thing ... Haechan is holding his spray paint can and WinWin is having his flashlight with him, as usual. But see Taeyong? He's holding that book-looking-lamp that is Johnny & Doyoung's, no? That's really ... odd. I can't think of any reason for him having that on his hands. :/

 There are scenes like this at the end of the MV. I think this is Johnny's "dream team". Okay, so he's kinda like holding Jaehyun upside-down... Might be because of his grudges for him, but they've been friends for a long time too so maybe he still wants to be with Jaehyun too even though he's done so much to make Johnny himself upset. Of course there would be his bestie Doyoung and the Universe, Taeil.

 This is the next scene after the above one. I just think that Johnny would like to forgive Jaehyun if they could all be together like this. aww~~ (≧◡≦)

3. The mysterious Yuta

I'm afraid he will forever be a mystery. There are some clues to him here and there, but i still can't think of anything about how his life has been or anything like that. Up until here we've got to know that he's probably come to the scientists at the same time with Jaehyun & Johnny, but there's nothing as to why. Moreover Yuta doesn't seem to have any relation to the two boys. So, after time he's decided to join Haechan with Taeyong. I think this group could be "researchers" of some sort.

 ...since Yuta is having a video camera in one scene.

 ...and so is Haechan. For some reason he's shooting the group #1 (Doyoung, Mark & Taeil). I don't know why ... besides that it seems like they don't notice Haechan all the time during this scene.

Back to Yuta, i think he has an important role in the theory. I tried to think about the hierarchy with these screenshots that happen in 1sec in the MV gosh how i fought to get these pics lol sm ... 1sec is really short time, quite hard to pause all the pics in that time xD

Let me show these in the order they are shown. First is Mark & Johnny. It seems like Yuta has no relation to them.

 Then there's Jaehyun & WinWin. Looking at this i think that Yuta would be in lower position than WinWin but in higher than Jaehyun. If that would be the case ... then what is he? He has to be quite special to be better than the perfect creation. :O

 After that there's Taeyong & Taeil. Again, Yuta would be in higher position than Taeyong, but in lower than Taeil. It seems reasonable.

 Last there's Haechan & Doyoung and he has no relation to them? But ... he chose Haechan, didn't he? Kinda suspicious about his intentions...

4. Some pinpoints about the MV

About the whole MV itself i noticed that Taeyong and Doyoung seem to think about something a lot, like they are trying to figure something out. Let me show:

 Maybe it could be because they are waking up and coming to their senses about the whole dream sync thing. Not sure...

At one point in the MV there's a scene where they are all together.

 They sit for awhile and move to dance. After some time there's a train tunnel shown.

 Like this. And i think this could mean that they travel back in time since after this there's similar scene to the upper one.

 The only difference is Haechan's place. He's changed his place. Maybe it could mean that he's trying to make a difference? To the future he's holding...

 There's a scene like this too. They cover their eyes, but my buddy noticed that Johnny is the only one having his left arm on his eyes. Another note for him to become the leader.

 This scene makes me think that maybe Taeyong figured something out, but WinWin won't let him tell it to others. This is creepy and it makes me think about WinWin's intentions too..

 And there's a normal plane window at the end. :)
About this one i just now searched something:

Source:
 
"If you are in a window seat, you may have a higher perspective or see the “big picture” but may be not in a position to act on it; or you may only be seeing one side of a situation or argument."

and for some reason i could connect this thing to the screenshot above the window.

There are also many scenes in which the boys are eating, so i researched for that too:

Source:

"At one level, it seems to operate as a metaphor of withdrawing projections... (which would certainly account in large measure for its rarity in the dream world!) Projection just means we see qualities in others that we do not yet know are qualities in ourselves. For example, perhaps we see a friend as exceptionally loving and caring. We would not recognize it in our friend if we did not carry the capacity to be that way ourselves. I'm suggesting that the food and drink in the dream are really parts of ourselves but we are still seeing them as "other" until we "take them in." In the course of taking the food and drink in, in the dream world, it becomes an accepted and recognized part of "myself". So the very unusual act of eating and drinking in the dream becomes a symbol for our ability to own projections in our waking life."

This could actually mean as it reads above regarding the theory. So, let's not talk about that any more specifically.

Stay tuned for the next theory! (≧◡≦)
