Losing my mind over the Jazz on the clock music video
So Luxiem's Jazz on the clock music video dropped almost a week ago, and I've noticed they've hidden some things in there. I haven't seen anyone solve it yet and I'm stuck so I'm looking to the internet for help and to compile what I've figured out so far. There's gonna be a million screenshots.
Plot
The plot is made clear to us through the various newspapers shown throughout the video.
Some of it is hard to read but I can make out the messages in order from top to bottom of the middle newspaper:
Lords are on alert.
Luxiem sent a notice to the lords.
Luxiem, a group of thieves causing havoc in the city, is the next target a lord?
A letter of warning sent to the lord.
And to the right I can make out the message:
A succession of security incidents
The number of riots continues to increase
Their news again. Luxiem. a group of thieves who target the mansions of aristocrats and steal their money and goods to give back to the common people.
And another newspaper that reads:
Luxiem, stealing the crown.
Last night Luxiem stole the crown at the clock tower.
Luxiem appears at the clock tower.
With all this we can say Luxiem are like a robin hood kind of group, stealing from rich and giving to the poor. And they decide to steal a crown at a clock tower which seems to be their biggest heist yet.
Hidden messages
There's some numbered sentences sprinkled throughout the video, I have no idea how many there are but the video ends with the number 10 so I think there's 10 of them?? The first newspaper that was shown above has a number one with the message: I wanna live free all the time. Keepin' it reals what we do. As for number 2...
The video starts with this morse code message.
I looked to the comments for people who know morse code and I found a comment by moon?!
So during Ike's first appearance in the video there's this text shown sideways.
2. But I can't do that in this city that has taken over.
Which member would win an arm wrestling competition? What did Mysta say? Go to that person.
The first Luxiem game show was hosted by Mysta some months ago, and I went back and checked who Mysta wrote would win an arm wrestling match, that being Luca. (This screenshot is cropped so none of the members are shown but Ike is on the left and Luca is on the right just believe me ok-)
There's a number 3 on the left with the text: But I can't do that in this city that has taken over. And on the right there's the message: Let's go to the top of the 636c6fb20746f776572.
Now I have no idea what the numbers are, I'm sure it's some kind of code out of the many different ones that exist. So I didn't solve it, I just found it bc of the number.
4. I don't want to see you cry anymore.
Again I have no idea what the jumble of letters and numbers mean but i found number 5 anyway and now that I type this out I am not smart enough to actually solve this-
5. So I take the crown. I'll cast a spell on you give you a taste.
So I'm not sure if there are more numbers, there probably is, but I've rewatched this goddamn video several times and I just don't know where to go from here. And now I'm screaming this into the void for help.
Also I have these and idk what to do with them, I'm sure they will be relevant later but it is 1 am and I am running on 4 hours of sleep already and I should probably sleep.
Miscellaneous
Anyways I'm gonna get some sleep now, thank you for reading this whole ass rant I have going on. I will get back to the regularly scheduled requests in a bit, summer school is kind of kicking my ass at the moment, and writer's block at the same time. I just need to get my ass moving.
I have not been updating stuff here for quite some time. I have been busy and stuff. I’ll post up stuff from the BBB magazines that I haven’t talked about yet. Anyways, CROSSOVER!
Infinity War may be one of the most ambitious crossover events in cinematic history but this crossover in particular as of this post is the most ambitious in Malaysia. Sure it’s not something many people wanted happening but when it did, it delivered well.
Spoilers below so beware:
Our story starts with students of SMK Pulau Rintis (BoBoiBoy and his gang) pitted against the students of Lawak Kampus (yes the school is named Lawak Kampus, directly translated into Funny Campus but official English versions of the Lawak Kampus books has title Kuso High School) in a football match. Vanness, the main character of Lawak Kampus nearly scored as he faced off against Yaya who is the goalkeeper (surprisingly) but is interrupted by the arrival of Adu Du’s spaceship and Adu Du launched out of his own spaceship due to crashing. Turns out Adu Du had brought a large Power Sphera that took Mr Noodle (one of the teachers in Lawak Kampus) and Commander Koko Ci away. Lightning tried to attack but the Power Sphera, Gigabot, escaped to another dimension, something Ochobot confirmed it can do. However, multiple portals were left behind and after some bickering between the heroes and the powerless Lawak Kampus kids, Froggy (who looks like a frog but doesn’t have frog-like abilities so it’s the opposite of Tsuyu from MHA) contacts his uncle Tony Stuck (and no, discount Tony Stark DOES NOT look like a frog at all) to help give out some gadgets for each of the Lawak Kampus student that are present and they get paired up with each BoBoiBoy character.
BoBoiBoy with Vanness, Froggy with Yaya (Yaya lampshades how Froggy is the Only Sane Man in Lawak Kampus. Also Froggy is also the smart one in LK), Fang with Xena (a not-so pretty girl with a crush on Vanness and in this crossover also has a crush on Fang), Gopal with Aditas (Vanness’ best friend who is also the school’s top athlete), Ying with Anthony (the only boy who has a crush on Xena but is continually rejected), Sai and Shielda with twins Ami and Yumi (basically average teenage girls loving their social media stuff and all that), Papa Zola and Cattus with Bepop (a kid with a lot of large pimples) and Adu Du (with his own motives) and Probe with Si Kosong (English versions has him called Zero. Reason? This poor kid ALWAYS gets zero in his exams). The first chapter ends with the groups going into their own portals to search for Mr Noodle and Commander Koko Ci.
The next eight chapters chronicle each group’s journey having different themes and artstyles (the first chapter and the cover is illustrated by the author of Lawak Kampus, Keith). Timeline wise, these chapters happen around the same time but not exactly. In chapter 2 (BoBoiBoy and Vanness’ chapter) we learn that each dimension has a “dimension boss” that has a hexagon panel controlling them and near the end of the chapter, BoBoiBoy, Vanness and Ochobot tell the others about the panels and each subsequent chapter save for the last one has a scene where they get the message though at different points in their own chapters. For example, some groups in their chapters get the message at the beginning of the chapter and some got them near the end.
Each of these chapters also brings about different sorts of interactions (BoBoiBoy and Ochobot initially has to put up Vanness’ immaturity but BoBoiBoy and Vanness bond over a video game BoBoiBoy never got to play, Aditas and Gopal bonding over their dislikes of books when they found themselves in a library and so on) with the Froggy/Yaya and Sai/Shielda/Ami/Yumi chapter having the least amount of arguing or bickering or being jerks. Froggy in this story is pretty much the most competent one among the Lawak Kampus characters (Vanness being second) since a lot of the stuff the other Lawak Kampus characters does and have come from his and his uncle and Froggy even has his sort of Iron Man armor (we never see the actual full set though but the full set can be seen in one of the Lawak Kingdom anthology books). I also appreciate that the Ying/Anthony chapter has ship teases going since in BoBoiBoy you’re not gonna be getting any of actual blatant ship teasing like that. In BoBoiBoy, “ship teases” are something fans read too much into so there is that.
Anyways, in the last chapter, everyone got out of their own dimensions and into a somewhat empty version of their own reality before Gigabot attacks everyone. Eventually, their plan ended up having everyone distracting and eventually restrain Gigabot (BoBoiBoy Light even showed up and considering the fact that this story was made before the last two episodes of Galaxy Season 1 aired, it’s really something) while Froggy and Adu Du work on a device to neutralize Gigabot and eventually they do so. But Adu Du revealed he planned to do so to control Gigabot and take over their home dimension and leave everyone else behind but then Mr Noodle and Koko Ci showed up out of nowhere and beat up Adu Du. They revealed Gigabot fled and brought them to a tea party after being attacked during chapter 1 and all the portals and hexagon panels were actually to not gather ingredients from different dimensions but also defend him due to him misunderstanding the heroes’ intent. And so the story ends with Aditas and Gopal provoking each other to continue their football match.
This story is well made in my opinion with a lot of comedy coming from character interactions that feels natural and great action and synergy. The BoBoiBoy/Vanness and Froggy/Yaya chapters in particular are the best chapters since it showed some REALLY good synergy and also because what the Lawak Kampus characters showed off here feel very natural with their characters. It’s not that the other chapters are bad. The team up chapters from others are good too but a lot of the stuff the other Lawak Kampus characters do comes from Froggy but their interactions more than make up for it since the interactions are the ones that really show that the Lawak Kampus characters truly are what they are. Froggy’s thing with the Iron Man armor thing didn’t come out of left field either and Vanness, as the naughty kid, seems like the kind of kid who would be good with the weapon he has, which is why the two chapters I mentioned earlier are the best ones for me. My only nitpick is that some of the smarter BBB characters end up seemingly less intelligent but multiple readings ensured it was less of that really going on.
In the end, despite the premise of Lawak Kampus being a strip series that don’t really dabble into the science fiction as much as BBB does, the crossover is very much enjoyable. Here’s to hoping we get more collaboration in the future.
Ali had told Boboiboy about his school friends but not his M.A.T.A friends yet so it was quite unfortunate that he slipped up and mentioned a few of them(can't blame him, something really funny must have happened)
Ali: 'Alicia is gonna kill me when she finds out'
Boboiboy: Ali, who are Moon and Rudy?
Ali: Umm well, they are my new friends! They've been my friends for a while now 'I wish Rudy thought that too though'
Boboiboy: (Eyes sparkling) Really? That's good. I'm happy to hear you made more friends! How did you meet them?
Ali: I... met them through a penpal program of sorts 'please believe me please believe me please-'
--------------------------------------------
Boboiboy wishes he could tell Ali since he would probably understand better than any other person, I mean the boy is the son of Dr. Ghazali and he lives in perhaps the most technologically advanced city he has ever seen but it's because of those reasons that he feels he shouldn't reveal this(at least not yet)
