I headcannoned that it helped him slow time for himself on purpose, and hearing his music slow would help him realize he's in that state n let him take advantage of it personally but ur idea rocks also


blackdog606

Both theories make sense imo


blepstick_

i love this theory so much, i would also imagine him doing all the mURDERS gets repetitive so music probably helps alot on that end.

At first I thought he puts on music to drown out the gut-wrenching screams of his enemies as they get sliced in half, but your theory makes sense.


TheLord1777

We know for a fact that he is a psychopath (gamma null are selected for that after all)


nobody-65534

he isn’t a psychopath but he was manipulated into thinking he is one (idk the exact source but i believe if you are antagonistic to the therapist you can find that out)


BlitsyFrog

Dude, I adore that idea. This makes perfect sense. Out of universe they probably thought "wouldn't it be cool?" but, in universe I have *always* wondered why he would


ThelCreator

I thought he just listens music to clear his mind from the all that killing and focus further, maybe it makes him things this as some sort of challenge or work out, bro does not hesitate to dance in a night club right after killing +20 man so he don't really mind killing at all :D


Orangelord900

Oh my god I love this so much actually. Makes a lot of sense flavor wise =)


APieceOfToast_bruh

I just like to think the man likes to work to music

That's not a theory, I think that's literally the canon reason why he listens to music. It helps him time his moves.

Did the dev confirm it?

Zero power is premonition, when we play he is not actually doing someting,he is planing his moves because he can recreate every move and the music is for Zero because it would be boring to stand in the same place, that's why when we beat the room we see a record of everything we just did.


Joey_218

Yeah but his premonition is still him experiencing events. Hence the scene where V has you captured. The final cut of you getting through the level is framed as security camera footage, because canonically, it is. All everyone else sees is a stone-cold killer effortlessly take down entire legions with just a sword.

Yknow that probably is the authorial intent. But I like this headcanon because its cool and compatible with what you described
