Malmsteen chord progression

Hi!

So i encountered this chord progression from Yngwie:

Bm - C#dim (with dim 7th) - D - Edim -F#

Played on keyboard



I tried to find out the the tonal function of each chord with the harmonic minor grades in Bm:

But there are some chord substitutions or modulations:

I (OK) - II (OK) - III (the 5th should be augmented not perfect, that's an A note out of the scale) - IV(it should not be diminished) - V (OK)

Anyone could share some insight of what is going on with this chord progression?

Thank you in advance


This is how I hear it.
Note: T = Tonic function chord
D = Dominant function chord.

B minor: D major: B minor:
T D T D D
Im VIIdim7 I VIIdim7 V
Bm C#dim7 D A#dim7/E F#
