Usavich Zero left me very confused, this anime about Russian rabbits must have some symbolism with a lot of room for theories, but I won't be the one who will find them, every time I try to decipher YouTube animated series I just end up in disappointment, and here it wouldn't be differently.
• What is Usavich Zero •
Well, this is not so difficult to find out, the titles of the episodes already say what the whole construction of this media refers to, everything that is addressed in Usavich comes from an "origin", you just need to know how to interpret which allegory the episode wants

you transmit.
• My interpretation of Usavich Zero •
Everything in the animation seems out of place until you piece together every single piece of information in your head. I could say that Usavich is like the life cycle, no matter if you start it at the end or at the beginning, everything will almost inactively come together in one place, whatever your choices are. It's important to remember in these moments that not making a decision will also be a choice for your future, this kind of represents prisoner Nº 04, who, after readjusting about the basics of life like eating, sleeping and the famous "play there out", it ends up that he starts to make his own choices, showing that he is like anyone else in the world, what diverges are the ways he chooses. But in animation this is shown in a not so evident way to keep the air of "what is this I'm seeing?", which ends up making everything more interesting for the spectator, and ends up coming another positive side to animation, characters don't express themselves verbally, this makes everything more confusing and pragmatic.
In episode 7 of Usavich Zero we meet a similar character more different from Nº 04, they are practically identical if it weren't for their completely different clothes, Nº 04 wears clothes like a prison uniform, while the new character wears a "dress" of polka dots, as if he had come to visit someone in prison, and that could even be right, since as soon as the character appears he goes to Nº 04's room and exchanges one of his shoes for his. I don’t know if this makes any sense or not, since all of this is just my vision of what I think Usavich is, but that scene strangely reminded me of the times I went with my mother to a store, and there we picked shoes for both of us. This may seem to be totally scrappy from everything I've ever talked about, but it makes so much sense to me that I can't unsee figure out that possibility in my head anymore.
NOTE: The Nº 04 uses tracks that cover your whole body, as if it were a mummy, at the end of the "last" episode we see for the first time its semblance without all those bandages. If I were to demystify who #04 is, I would say he’s like a chrysalis process, since all he does in episode 6 is lying in his bed reading his magazine, which may or may not refer to the chrysalis process, it’s an option due to his "rebirth" in the last/first episode of animation.
After a "cycle" passed in prison, we are introduced to the new character, prisoner number 541, and as number 04 he also goes through the basic teachings, with the slight difference of it seem much more "sociable" than number 04. Unlike him, Nº 541 does not have such a short fuse, if something bothers the Nº 04 he already begins to destroy everything around him. It is as if the number 04 has won a little brother who does not take his remedies for his ADHD. However, most of the responsibility of this goes to the number 04 who spent most of his childhood "biting" their guardians, instead of developing what some call independence, which by knowing how to take care of yourself, will enable you to know how to take care of others. A good example of what adolescent would be the Nº 04, would be those who put on their doors "forbidden the entrance", as if said indirectly "I do not want anyone to come to bother me".
• Conclusion on Usavich Zero •
This animation is very strange and I ended up going on her wave without even wanting to. What did Usavich represent to me? I wanted to know that answer. All I know is that this series is conflicting, seeing it, I felt a kind of arrogance inside me, as if the number 04 represented me. Ignoring even my perception of space, just so I don’t get involved in things that I find uninteresting to me, it makes me not realize that there may be someone right next to me suffering to keep me alive at his expense, as is the case with number 541, Only in a much more harmless way. Number 541 is like this, it is always the wronged of history, it does all that inhuman work alone and still receives the same amount of food, while number 04 continues to receive without at least struggling for it. It’s almost like you think you’re doing the job that no one else can, when in reality it’s just the others leaving everything to you. So to me Usavich is like a series of events about to erupt, and I know that, I just act with indifference, so that people around me always have to overcome themselves if they want to continue living, thus proving that the popular saying "If you aren´t part of the solution you are part of the problem," has never been wrong.
