‘ULTRA DESPAIR GIRLS TWO: MORE GIRLS AND EVEN MORE DESPAIR’ WHERE TOKOMARU HELP NAEGI AND CO WRANGLE THE REMNANTS OF DESPAIR!! (Also the warriors of hope (sans Monaca ofc) are their Guys In The Chair, reluctantly added to the team since they’d know the most about how the remnants operate due to their time w/ junko, and who grow to be friends with tokomaru because I said so and I say friendship is real and the dynamic could be hilarious — plus the concept of the wohs popping in to tell komaru to do something dumb like check out an abandoned candy store for treats or do a kick flip on a mostly intact skateboard is really fun to me)

I have an hc that Korekiyo impulsively cuts her hair almost entirely off after she exorcizes her sister's spirit out of her body, but it looks really bad which kind of makes her already fragile mental state worse and Mukuro who's kinda going through the same thing by distancing herself from Junko to pursue her dream of being a hairdresser offers to fix Korekiyo's hair and it miraculously it ends up looking really good. They kinda bond over it and kinda become like true sisters and it helps them a lot.

They're literally like

komaru is transfem + the reason she sounds different between thh + udg is because she was getting the hang of making her voice sound naturally feminine

Little tea party on board a moving train, no biggie.

Fanart of Lucky Melody in Towa by @spyrkle4 from Chapter 14. Kotoko kidnapped Komaru and Hibiki, but Hibiki’s catatonic due to seeing Syo in action so instead they had a little tea party with Hibiki eating the same crumpet for like 5 minutes.

You should check it out. It’s a text fic alternate universe combing the end of SDRA2 with UDG and it’s really funny and good.

(Sorry about Hibiki I can’t draw that good and I tried my best with her dark eyes look but I’m as aaaaahhhhh)

@dragcns-den sent in: “  your bandages— you’re bleeding through them.  ” — (( Makoto - Hiya :3 Hope you don’t mind me yeeting my boi ))

                     ‶  ah... so the wounds have reopened again... how inconvenient.  ″ well, ever since that murderous fiend sliced up his thighs with her scissors he hasn't had the time to actually tend to his wounds. not that he had any will to. pain was just part of his existence these days — not that these future foundation people have realized that yet.

                     apparently they were on the lookout for fifteen surviving students of hopes peak — wanting to safely secure them before the remnants of despair do something to cause them harm. komaeda's sure once they begin to encounter more of his old classmates they'll realize that the very people they're trying to save are their enemies. how despairing that will be for them... but only for a brief moment.

                     with their identities uncovered they should be easier to track down and eliminate. and once all the remnants of despair are gone from this world komaeda is sure that the world will finally be filled with a glowing hope like no other. his only hope is that he gets a glimpse of that before his inevitable execution.

                     he's stayed cagey about is identity — making sure that no one removed the glove on his hand. that would be a dead giveaway. and to show his hand (figuratively and literally) too early just wouldn't be any fun. there would be no challenge to overcome. no... it would be too easy.

                     ‶  it's my fault for picking at them. what a troublesome habit...  ″

Sasuke and his trouble: When you really love and care someone, you can't hide it.

☞ Offering his bento

Right before this scene, Sasuke gives a grand speech to Sakura about he needs to pass this exam to get his revenge. Even though he knew full well that if he shared the food he would be disqualified and not allowed to train as a shinobi… but… when he saw Naruto's face he threw everything away and risked his ninja career as well.

☞ Sasuke asking Sakura not to divulge about his Curse Mark to Naruto

When Naruto asked her about Sasuke's mark, Sakura remembers what Sasuke told her in the Forest of Death. The next thing we see is Sasuke asking her to promise him not to tell Naruto about the curse mark because he doesn't want to worry him.

This scene has appeared twice in the manga... once in this chapter (69) and the other in chapter 178. From her recalls in ch. 69, there was this dialogue that sasuke says: ｢いいか...これもチーム ワークだ｡｣ = ī ka ... kore mo chīmu wākuda = Listen... This is also teamwork”. But the interesting thing is that she doesn't include this dialogue in chapter 178.

What prompted her to recall the scene:

Sakura tried to come between Naruto and Sasuke when they got into a fight on the hospital roof top. And Naruto says this to her: 'Sakura...Don't get in my way!', but the way Naruto saying to Sakura with a sharp manner is completely new and you can see from the panel how much his words shocked her. We all know Naruto isn't the type to speak angrily to Sakura. And yet, we've seen Naruto put Sakura in her place twice when she was trying to get between his goals. Like in this scene and in the 5KS arc. Both of these scenes have one thing in common, which is that Sakura comes between Naruto and Sasuke.

The word Naruto uses here is 邪魔しないで (jama shinaide) which means don't get in the/my way; stay out of the/my way; don't disturb me; don't bother me. This expression 'jama shinaide', is negative and kind of strong to use towards other people. And it is not a polite word.

Then she recalls this:

Raw: 約束してくれ...このアザのことはナルトには言うな｡ あいつに余計な気を遣われても困るんでな...

Romaji: yakusokushitekure...kono aza no koto wa naruto ni wa iu na. aitsu ni yokeina ki wo tsukawarete mo komaru n dena...

Literal: Promise me... You won't say anything about this mark/bruise to Naruto. It's only going to trouble me if he unnecessarily/extra worries about me...

気を遣う (ki wo tsukau) is an expression which means "to be considerate," "to be mindful," "to care about somethone/something", or "to go out of one's way (for someone)"

Sasuke is expressing that he would be troubled if Naruto were to go out of his way to show concern and worry for him. Why would it troubles Sasuke to see Naruto worries about him? Even Sakura was worried about him during the Chūnin Exams arc.... Why couldn't her worries bother him, even a little? Towards Sakura, he was completely annoyed & distant whereas with Naruto he worries about him and also feels pain whenever Naruto get hurts.

Togami Time! Byakuya Time works too but I like the alliteration of the first. Spoilers ahead of course!

For Byakuya's casual attire, I gave him that very standard rich man polo. I did spice it up a bit with a black, fairly slick turtleneck underneath that hugs his body. I decided to also have his polo tucked in for extra style points along with the addition of the belt. I like giving this man belts after all. Unless he's in his fancy pajamas, he's wearing a belt the majority of the time! And, of course, his clothes, though a bit basic in a way, cost a lot of money. Sorta honed slight bits from his bad ending attire oddly enough. It wasn't much but just that sorta sporty look in a way. I dunno what the jacket he wore would be called but it gives me slight sporty vibes. Thus, Byakuya's giving off some flamboyant golfer energy which, to be fair, he probably knows how to golf for the most part. For his business attire, I initially drew a more elaborate design (no worries. it'll be seen at some point!!) though I toned it down a lot more for work. He may be fashionable but he's also a man of practicality in many regards. Thus, he's got a pocket watch and a basic suit with some flairs. Specifically, I gave him some emerald colored brooches in his hair and on his tie, hinting back to how he likes the Scarab Brooch in game. After all, with age, I feel the main facets of his interests wouldn't change. The guy is still into those dark academia type stuff. Also, the gold elbow pads are just cus. I dunno. They might be a bit much but I felt a bit bad for just putting him in a suit at the same time! Some other bits I wish to mention about his business attire is that, though he does wear this for work, for my future AU, I see him working a lot at home as well! He's still quite involved with the Togami Conglomerate, but he's found a nice balance where he only needs to travel to other countries sometimes, not the majority. Byakuya deserves a break after all the stuff he went through both pre-tragedy, during the tragedy, and the clean up post-tragedy. That clean up is still occurring still (it's about a decade after dr3/the anime) so there's still work to be done. Byakuya has a bit less to do with the whole "helping to rebuild the economy thing" though since I like to think that, with his influence, he helps with that. Back to his work though, he mostly does this in a designated office area in his condo. He also does this in his mansion sometimes though crashes out into some of the other's places to work as well or just because he can. Speaking of that, though he does live in his condo, he likes to roam a lot and sometimes ends up staying over with the others. It started out as a one time deal before it slowly became the thing he does. His primary targets are Kyoko and Makoto in their apartment and Toko and Komaru in theirs. He does go to Hiro's place as well though to "make sure the idiot isn't causing trouble" and he also goes to Hina's too though less than Hiro's. He'd mostly just be in Toko and Komaru's place if he wanted to check up on Hina cus, though they are friends, the two still like to butt heads. Plus, in this AU, Hina doesn't even live that far away from Toko and Komaru anyway. I headcanon that they all live fairly close from one another cus they all still like spending time together. Thus, thems the rules in this AU. However, despite this man's resilience to not stay at his own damn condo, he's not mooching off of any of them... for the most part. He makes sure to repay anything, sometimes to an annoying degree like him making himself coffee in the morning and then just chucking money in their face before they can say anything. Either that or the man just goes and orders a fancy ass dinner while saying that he "ordered too much" which is just his weird way of showing that he cares for them all. That's not to say that he does that all the time. He understands fully that none of his friends are here for his money. The man can sometimes do it anyway out of habit though he's less bad with this than he was years ago.

For his body type, it's fairly basic, perhaps a little average. A little squishy in some areas which ironically makes him kinda huggable despite him still being aloof in nature. His slight squishy qualities are practically hidden to those who don't know him though. Besides, though he is squishy, that is not to say he should, by any means, be underestimated. He shares this quality with my Kyoko design in some ways (gotta love the togiri parallels) Basically, though he's not super muscular, he could still kick ass. Besides, I feel he wouldn't be one to try and get super buff and all anyway. He probably COULD gain some very good muscle though. He probably just doesn't want to. Additionally, I have him in slightly different glasses. For one, they are to differentiate him much more from his canon design. I also thought the chains would be cool and that the rounded frames would be a nice contrast to all the spikes I gave him in his hair. It also compliments his slightly softer appearance as well, being an older man as well pushing 30. Gives him more of a sense that he's got a bit of fallibility. That he's still a human at the end of the day! He also is a bit nicer with age as well though still Byakuya Togami of course!

Out of all the elements I changed about my favorite guy, I think my favorite aspect is his hair. So many cute tufts! Plus, I am a sucker for him having long hair. I also feel I made a good balance between making him look like he could totally pull off the Polaris thing again and having him still look like a guy. But also, he's a bit androgynous as well! Hope you all enjoy this loser's design! The next design will be very soon! (1) | (4)

Ok but I have to know. You said sparkling justice rarely speaks. How does his speech differ from Makoto’s, and what would get him to speak?

He sounds like Makoto Kagutsuchi from Rain Code, but more unsettling and deliberate. He speaks when absolutely necessary. In trials he will speak to communicate very important information, defend himself by correcting information, and to announce his catchphrase.

He also has a soft spot for girls. Kyoko especially, who he will speak to candidly if questioned during the trial because of his and Makoto's shared feelings. And Aoi, who he gives a rundown on the parts of their story Makoto refuses to remember.

He announces a list of his victim's crimes every time he's got them completely cornered before executing them Judge Dredd style. Unlike Genocider Syo, SJ is a slow, psychological stalker that drives his victims to breaking mentally before executing them.

In the UDG equivalent, he gets to be more talkative but Yuuta would have trouble with him as his responses are mostly a few words at max. Talking about Kyoko, serial killers, and Makoto's books are the few things to get him to really talk. In the end he'll also talk about Komaru after he and Yuuta really bond.

give me anyone else you like as well in the replies I'm working on a project and I need info lol

If Makoto Naegi was in a Hazbin Hotel AU, what should his story be? Poll down below

I’ve been thinking of an AU where the danganronpa characters are in the Hellaverse and are somewhat following the plot of the original show. I was thinking it would mainly be Komaegi based, maybe a Makoto polycule. But I keep flip flopping and what Makoto’s story should be, so I’m making a poll.

I think he would be leading the charge in trying to redeem souls like Charlie no matter what.

Makoto being like Emily I think would be the most accurate but then he wouldn’t be able to be as proactive in the story. Hence the other options.

Makoto being an exorcist kind of excites me. I picture him having his wings cut off like Vaggie’s but instead of losing an eye he loses an arm (the same arm that Nagito chopped off because FOILS). He can summon his angelic spear and do the stuff that Vaggie could do in the show, but o think he would try to be a pacifist because his kind has already caused so much death.

The prince ideas she he would more directly be like Charlie in the show. The idea behind the adoption was to being back some of those “regular guy” vibes who is supposed to have.

Speaking of exorcists, I was originally thinking Kyoko would be an exorcist like Vaggie who got caught and hurt but lost her memories as well, so when found by Makoto she takes his word for it that she must be a sinner, but doesn’t know why she can’t remember her time on Earth. I don’t think this would work if Makoto was also an exorcist, but I wanted to share the idea anyway.

Like I said before the story was originally supposed to be Komaegi based (which I can get to in another post) but Makoto might end up with quite the polycule in the end. I’ve already mentioned Naegiri, and there could be a chance for Naegami if I make Byakuya demon nobility (like with Stolas). But first things first I need to figure out Makoto.

[mythgirlimagines]

Hot take perhaps. But I don’t think Toko and Komaru are the kinds who would want to get married. Or at the very least, I don’t think they’d want a wedding. If anything, they’d probably have a small thing with like three other people there or just sign paperwork, but I think they actually might skip that and just. Be together the rest of their lives lol

[lunart-06]

My Makoto Naegi angst analisis thing (Hc)

(PLEASE KEEP IN NOTE): That this is just my general idea of him, kinda scared to share this cause qjdnnejf I know everyone has different opinions on Makoto so I'm just posting this in my own prespective of him. (It's a little messy cause I am unstable and disorganized when I write this so beware ooo)

Here's the art I made for this

So like, I believe Makoto has issues I think we all established that, and the moment when komaru mentioned of how he changes a lot in UDG (but still hold some same aspects of traits and habits that just makes him.... him) after managed to contact him the first time. It strucks me so bad that it gaves me a migrane /vpos

Like, Makoto earned his new title of the ultimate Hope (with the capital H and everything) just by defeating Junko the ultimate despair? By that point he was seen by the world as the savior and as the first and only hope they have thought lost for YEARS

Makoto's ability to move everyone by just words to which he probably didn't even realised the power he held over it. He's just incredibly passionate and its because his whole body speaks GENUINE emotions, his stubborn willpower and determination undeterred by despair and everything Junko herself has set up for.

It is something not everyone has the luxury to have. His optimism. But that's the thing.

Makoto was the ultimate Hope, only because he was just optimistic in nature. It was the flock of the moment during the last trial, his contagious optimism is what everyone, his friends, the world, preceives as Hope. The enlighting feeling of inspiration by just words of support and motivations for the first time since years after the tragedy started.

But again. Thats the thing. The "Hope" they admire, they clung onto, they worshipped, and they DIE for, was his mere optimistic nature. Just like he said himself "Optimism is all I'm best at".

Its cause well, it's true. (Kinda)

All he was ever good at in his view was just being that. When I rewatched future arc I sense how unBEARABLY useless he is without that title and usual positive nature, and his words don't reach the leaders of future foundation from attempting to kill one another (aside from certain ones, and at the very end ofc, but even then it was too late to prevent the deaths). His words doesnt even managed to reach Ryota from preventing him in using the Hope brainwash video.

It just further shows how.... normal he is

Despite the title, it just shows that he is nothing but a normal guy. He's not some god everyone preceives him to be, he's just some dude that was placed in a wrong time and place.

It's like all the good he is being- well, normal. Like typical "good kid". Somehow it kinda hurts to think about it, like you're obligated to see all positive in lives for it as everyone depends on you for such.

And now the whole world was in the palm of his hands.

I feel like he's scared, despite his strong stand and brave, determined face, he is a normal, ordinary guy that scared to lose what he was ever good and seen by everyone as. Being optimistic and hopeful.

Its like he's not allowed to even be sad for a moment to cry his hearts out. Because the world depends on him, his friends depends on him, he rely on them too much, he cant lose hope cause if he does, the world will fall apart AGAIN, and people will die AGAIN (just like his classmates, just like the people who died for him) he doesnt think he can handle that the second time.

Since that one thing Makoto despises the most is violence. Death to be exact.

He was probably exhausted but he cant yet, he has to keep moving forward, for the world's sake, his friends' sake, his only remaining family; his sister's sake, and for the sake of those who had died so he can carry out their hope that was left behind.

Theres also this quote that remind me of him:

"I'm scared that the moment I look like I'm suffering. Noone will believe me anymore"

Because like. He really cant do things as much without his friends. All he has was his hope; his positivity, determination, and optimistic nature. So he stood tall, facing despair, putting up a strong look just so people of the world, and his friends know, that they all can trust him. To have faith in him.

Because being optimistic is all he's best at.

That hope he has held dearly was destroying him internally. Scary thing is it? Despair isnt what was breaking him. It was the very thing that he was good at. And the very thing everyone thought of when they see him.

Just like junko when you think about it. She- ultimate despair, destroyed herself by the very thing she is (basically executed herself in the last trial) and now makoto was doing the same thing.

"The world's hope", "the strongest who never falters at the face of despair", "the savior", "their guiding light"

How much longer should he keep that up? Before everyone realised that he's nothing but just an ordinary, plain, boring guy?

How much longer should he fall before allowing himself to hit the ground?

A sprout who never truly managed to grow old, it's choose to shelter other by it's leaves, holding still, unmoving.

Yet its roots slowly rotten by parasites and disease, trying to keep the earth together. They can't die now, they're the protector, the hope of it all. <-(quote by one of my friend Ele, which I think is neat in itself, considering Naegi's name means sappling or seedling in general ajdhwjdj)

He may have survived the first killing game that birth his title as the Ultimate Hope,

He may have survived the second killing game in the Neo world program that shows us how devastated it must be for Makoto that Nagito would go that far for the sake of hope, how Makoto's words and hope does not reach the remaining survivor,

He may survived the third killing game in the Future Foundation where it must be devastating that he's unable to understand the victims fully from preventing them to try and kill eachother off ("don't try pretending you understand them, you don't understand them at all" kinda feel), where he watched as Kyoko died for his hope, not telling him THAT she will die, letting him live because not only that he was the closest friend she ever has, but knowing her; she thinks that the world still need the ultimate hope, and because of that, she was ready to accept her fate for it, because she was assured that Makoto is strong enough to move forward even when it's hard, because she has faith in him. Because she believes that Makoto will never give up Hope.

Eventhough he had survive countless scenarios where he could die anytime of those. I feel like eventhough he had survived multiple times.. he had died, multiple times as well, to become who he is now (multiple rebirth symbolism). To the point where he is unrecognizable in his own eyes, the feeling of the old him far out of reach, who is he now?

Things are so simple to him back then, why does things don't make sense to him about himself now?

He may never feel lonely outside, because he believes that his friends will always have his back, he believes that there will always be someone that could give him a hand.

But here, in his own mind, in his own exhaustion, in his own struggle, in his own confusion, he is completely all alone. This one is his alone to go through, his friends has too much on their plate already to handle this, he relied on them too much already.. (in a way, perhaps, he try to rely on others less).

Theres soooo many I wanna say about him but this is the general idea of my view on him, or er, version ig? His accidental savior complex that is.

And don't make me start of his self-sacrificial tendency. /lh

Ultra Despair Girls could be a musical if it really wanted to.
