We Dive Together or Not at All

Would you say that of our fallen comrades? It's us who gives meaning to our comrade's lives! The ones who will remember them... are us, the living! That is the sole method in which we can rebel against this cruel world! WE DIVE TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL ↓↓↓↓ SONY

An intense anime-style squad of black-armored soldiers solemnly discusses fallen comrades and the duty of the living to remember them. The speech builds into a grand declaration of rebellion, then the soldiers are violently torn apart in an exaggerated explosion of blood and debris while the dramatic song “Humanity's Strongest Soldier” by Suicide Lady Extravaganza plays. The joke comes from treating absurdly over-the-top soldier deaths with tragic, heroic seriousness, making it useful as an ironic reaction to extreme melodrama or doomed commitment.

全くもって無意味だ どんなに夢や希望を持っていても 幸福な人生を送ることができたとしても ならば人生には意味がないのか そもそも生まれてきたことに意味はなかったのか 死んだ仲間もそうなのか あの兵士たちも 無意味だったのか いや違う! あの兵士たちに意味を与えるのは我々だ! あの勇敢な死者を 死者を、暴れな死者を、思うことができるのは、聖者である我々だ! 我々はここで死に、次の聖者に意味を託す! それこそ唯一、この残酷な世界に荒がう滑なのだ! 兵士を怒られ!兵士を叫ぶ!兵士を戦う!
