[azninho25]

If you thought that the Sharks were a super-team in my art...then the 49ers in my art are just as dominant LMAO

And of course, I had to slander Mahito too 🤣

[despairs-memorial]

I think the entirety of this fandom doesn't give enough focus on Sonia knowing war machinery on the same level as Hideo Kojima, and that is so disheartening. Yeah, yeah, occult shit, princess, yadda yadda, she can drive a fucking tank and has known how to do that since she was a kindergarder along with everyone else in her country. That's just... in the game, why do we keep saying she killed everyone in her country?! She probably had them slaughtering people, what do you mean?!

Edit: I'm tacking this on, but part of the reason why this bothers me is because no one ever thinks of Fuyuhiko killing everyone in the Kuzuryu clan (which is MORE than his immediate family) aside from maybe his own parents. No one ever thinks of disarming him, but when it comes to Sonia, I've seen people just completely take away her main source of power which is her own people and combat abilities. Idk, it just seems like a really odd way to give her despair since that makes her completely useless, more or less. Without her country, she would lack the political power to influence any other world leaders or to cause widespread devastation. Like, I'm sure she's a good political leader and excellent at the skills necessary to run a whole country, don't get me wrong, but at least 50% of her whole thing is HAVING A COUNTRY TO RUN.

🔵 Kodaka BlueSky Q&As: Female DR Characters (Specific)

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Please be advised! Translations of all Japanese answers derive from a combination of Google Translate and my manager's three-quarters-remembered Japanese. We've tried our best to work out what he's saying, but there will be mistakes here and there. Do not take this as gospel!

To avoid spreading (too much) misinfo, where we're completely boggled about an answer, we've decided not to even make an attempt. We'll still list the post, but mark it accordingly.

➡️ AN IMPORTANT NOTE FROM KODAKA BEFORE READING:

First of all, the questions answered here are not official. Everything that is official is what is said within the work. In contrast, this is simply what Kodaka, the creator, thinks, and it is not the correct answer. Use this as a starting point to enjoy the depth of each character, or to say, "That's not right!" and enjoy it with your own interpretation. I think of this as a way of communicating with the characters who live in fiction. This is important, so please spread the word.

💕 FEBRUARY 2024:

Q: I apologize if this has already been discussed somewhere, but I would love to hear about the reasons and episodes behind choosing Kitayama Takekuni as the author of the novel "Danganronpa Kirigiri."

A: I like Kitayama's novels. They are mysteries, but I felt there was something in common between them [DR & Kitayama's work] in the writing and dialogue.

/////

Q: In her report card, it was stated that SDR2's Nanami Chiaki has a father and brother who are programmers, but does this only apply to SDR2's Nanami and is she separate from Despair Arc's Nanami? In the reference book, there is no data about Nanami's alma mater, but is there a possibility that information such as the alma mater of Despair Arc's Nanami will be released in some form in the future?

A: That's right. It applies to only SDR2 Nanami. I wonder if there will be any information released about Despair Arc Nanami...

/////

Q: Excuse me for asking a question!! I think games are essential to Nanami, so I wonder how she would react if they were confiscated!

A: I guess she'd end up looking like Gudetama.

NOTE: The adorable Sanrio depressed egg guy.

/////

Q: Mr. Kodaka, do you have any comments about Kitayama Takekuni's "Danganronpa Kirigiri"?

A: Before the series began, I had consulted with them about the overall structure and points of reference, but after the series began, I felt like I was mostly enjoying it as a reader.

/////

Q: Excuse me for my second question. I would like to know the reason why Kirigiri Kyoko has her braids undone on one side in the timeline of the anime "Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy Future Arc" and the manga "Danganronpa Gaiden Killer Killer" and if there is any background reason for this...

A: I've not heard why, in part because it was left up to Komatsuzaki-kun. I thought on my own that it was because she had become an adult.

NOTE: Komatsuzaki is the guy behind Danganronpa's art.

/////

Q: Excuse me for the second question! Yumeno-chan was called a "shishamo roe" by Iruma and a "grilled horse mackerel" by Ouma, but what does she think about those metaphors?

A: "Huh?"

NOTE: A shishamo is a type of fish. Also, he's answering as Himiko, if it wasn't clear.

/////

Q: Why do we not get any undisguised Mukuro sprites in Danganronpa S?

A: I had absolutely no involvement with Danganronpa S.

NOTE: You'll see him reference this a few times too. He didn't do Summer Camp at all!

/////

Q: Why did you decide to become a maid, Tojo-san?

A: I think that because she could do anything, she felt it was boring to use her power for herself and felt more comfortable serving others, and that is why she was so selfless.

/////

Q: If the characters in Danganronpa were 16.7 years old in 2010, they would be 30 years old in 2024 if they were still alive. What do you think they would have been like when they turned 30 if they had lived a normal life? I don't need to know everyone, but I'd like to hear it.

A: At the very least, Fukawa is dead.

NOTE: It's true, but he shouldn't say it.

🍀 MARCH 2024:

Q: In the profile of Genocider Syo from Ultra Despair Girls, she lists "girls that aren't moe" as something she dislikes, but since she has deliberately stated "aren't moe", does that mean that "girls that are moe" exist in Genocider Syo's opinion?

A: "I think it's either 'not moe' or 'other.' I don't do moe."

NOTE: Answering as Syojack, it seems.

/////

Q: Does Yumeno-chan ever wear casual clothes? If so, does she wear a wizard's hat?

A: "A robe like a dark mage's is my personal attire. I don't go out on windy days because it all flips up."

/////

Q: when you wrote the ending to Danganronpa Another Episode, were you expecting to use Monaca more or was her arc always going to end the way it did in Danganronpa 3?

A: In truth, Monaka's story ended with just another episode. However, we wanted to have as many characters in Danganronpa 3 as possible, so we decided to add her to the anime.

/////

Q: Does Harukawa-san eat sweet things?

A: She used to lick rock candy on the job to replenish her energy.

/////

Q: What would happen if I confessed to Mioda Ibuki?

A: She sometimes responds with songs, but she usually doesn't know how to answer.

/////

Q: I believe the character of Fukawa Toko (Genocider Syo) is originally based on the protagonist of Clock Tower GH, but are Genocider Syo's murder weapon and motive for murder also based on Tono Masayuki's mystery novel "Scissors Man"?

A: Neither of them are right...! I imagined Genocider as a monster like the ones in Ushio & Tora.

NOTE: Clock Tower GH is a video game known as Clock Tower 2 in the US. It's a point and click survival horror. Ushio & Tora is a supernatural/dark fantasy manga from the early 90s.

/////

Q: Does Fujisaki have a favorite food?

A: Mini katsudon.

NOTE: Katsudon is a pork cutlet bowl.

/////

Q: What kind of clothes does Fujisaki Chihiro like to wear (or usually wear)?

A: Unisex jeans.

NOTE: It's not exactly a question so I won't list it here, but a Chihiro fan responded with excitement, at which Kodaka replied "100 points for your reaction."

/////

Q: Excuse me for asking a question! In Ultra Despair Girls, Fujisaki Taichi had a photo of Fujisaki [Chihiro] in a sailor uniform, looking like they were in their rebellious phase (?)! It's so cute! I'd really like to know how the photo was taken and if there are any untold details about the Fujisaki family!

A: No matter what Fujisaki [Chihiro] is, their father can't help but take pictures because they are a cute kid, but Fujisaki [Chihiro] themself is embarrassed, and since those around them are becoming more and more rebellious, they are acting a little like a rebel, but later they will probably feel sorry for their father and be depressed.

/////

Q: Why is Enoshima Junko so cute? What's her favorite food?

A: "I think it's because I live life the way I want to. I get bored easily, so my favorite things change every day."

🥬 APRIL 2024:

Q: I think Celes' dream is to live in a Western castle surrounded by handsome men, but if she had to choose one of the handsome men from Danganronpa, who would she choose? From watching Celes' fantasy scenes, it seemed like she only had a limited number of handsome men, so it's possible that there isn't a type among the characters that appear, but if there is, please let me know.

A: Probably none of them are in that category. I think she wants to create a world like Interview With Vampire.

/////

Q: Yumeno-chan, what type of handsome guy do you like?

A: Something like a pop star.

NOTE: My manager says another great translation would be "trendy bastards." Kodaka loves his fictional daughters...

/////

Q: Why does Fukawa Toko hate taking baths?

A: It's a hassle because you have to put the clothes on after you take them off, and you have to dry them after they get wet.

/////

Q: Today is Asahina-san's birthday. What would you give her that would make her happy? I'm sure she's been getting lots of donuts from everyone, so I'd like to give her a unique present that will leave a lasting impression!

A: "Shoes for my younger brother!"

🌺 MAY 2024:

Q: Did Enoshima clean up the victims' bodies and rooms?

A: I think she used technology to that extent, though Enoshima, impatiently cleaning up the mess, also looked hopelessly cumbersome and hopelessly kawaii.

/////

Q: Why does Yumeno-chan hate the ocean?

A: Because it's big.

/////

Q: Excuse me for asking a question! Is the story about the school festival in the Danganronpa original drama CD written by Kodaka-san? There is a scene in the drama where Fujisaki wants to wear a cute apron, which was quite unexpected for Fujisaki in the main story, so it was a shock. Was there a possibility that Fujisaki would embrace cute things in the main story as well?

A: I think I only wrote the very first one. The one that has a white and black disc. If I remember correctly.

/////

Q: Excuse me for asking a question! I think that in the articles(?) released during the development stage there were many scenes that were not in the main story. Were these scenes faked to hide the contents of the main story, or were they actually there during production? I'm curious if there were any scenes where Fujisaki-kun was suspected in court!

[This person included this image:]

A: This is an image made up for a proposal. It was made before the story even existed.

/////

Q: What do you think is Kyoko Kirigiri's favorite type?

A: Just look at Danganronpa!

/////

Q: Iruma Miu's favorite thing is "programs for young children," but what kind of programs for young children does she like? Programs where you can sing and dance along, educational programs, or maybe anime programs for young children...

A: "I sing along when the host sings, and I work with her when she's doing crafts. Other than that I just watch while swearing."

/////

Q: Can you cook, Kirigiri-san?

A: "I want to cook but I need to wear gloves and that's where I'm stuck. I really want to cook." In response to all this, that guy…(oops, no more on that)

/////

Q: Excuse me for asking a question! (Sorry for asking so many times lol 💦) In DR2, Nanami Chiaki said, "I have a father and brother who are programmers," and I interpreted this as Fujisaki Chihiro and Fujisaki Alter Ego but are they actually different people (because they were created by the program left behind by Fujisaki?)? She also said other things that reminded me of Fujisaki, so I've been wondering about this for a long time!!! I look forward to your answer!!!

A: I am pretty sure that was the impression I had at the time.

☀️ JUNE 2024:

Q: Celes, I believe you usually wear gothic lolita clothes, but do you ever wear sweet lolita, hime lolita or other types of lolita clothes?

A: "I just tried them on and threw them away."

/////

Q: Does anyone in the Danganronpa series get headaches?

A: Fukawa.

🎇 JULY 2024:

Q: Is Nanami-chan popular with the guys?

A: I think a lot of guys like her.

/////

Q: What content does Tsumugi Shirogane like more? Yaoi content or Yuri?

A: "I like all of them, so I change my taste depending on the season."

/////

Q: What were Junko and Mukuro's parents like?

A: They were an ordinary couple and a normal family, but their ordinariness had made Enoshima Junko despair from the moment she was born.

/////

Q: I'd like to hear more specifically about Maki Harukawa's usual diet!

A: Rations.

🌭 AUG 2024:

Q: I would like to know about Mioda's family relationships. I wonder if she often plays alone because she didn't have a good relationship with her parents.

A: It is possible that the whole family is like that.

/////

Q: If there was a punishment for Iruma Miu, what do you think it would be? She has a bad mouth, but I think she's a good girl at heart and I love her, so I want her to be happy.

A: You can't be as happy as a good child. It's so unfair lol

🍁 SEPT 2024:

Q: Do you have any favorite games, Owari-chan?

A: Any where I don’t have to use my head.

/////

Q: What is your best magic, Yumeno-san?

A: Self-hypnosis magic

/////

Q: Did Kirigiri cry as a child the first time she went on detective work with her grandfather (a murder detective would see a body)?

A: Kirigiri has never cried over a dead body.

/////

Q: If there was a motivation video in Danganronpa 2, what would Nanami's video look like?

A: 4K video of the Despair Arc of the anime, in which Nanami Chiaki, the model for the character, dies.

/////

Q: What would Chiaki Nanami do when she's in a desperate situation? Will she become a million-man murderer?

A: No.

[katzkinder]

Since Mukuro and Tsuna are still weirdly connected, Tsuna’s sometimes gotten glimpses of things he wasn’t ever supposed to, and vice versa on Mukuro’s end. He usually shoves Tsuna awake once he notices Tsuna’s accidentally plopped into one of his memories, but

If it’s one of Tsuna’s, he’ll let it play out without interruption. It’s never anything of note, anyhow, so expending energy to wake him would be pointless >liar mc liar face

Eventually this gets him more than he bargained for

There’s also a lot of stuff in Tsuna’s mind that, once he’s aware of it, it makes him go okay hold up

Because it’s not like he ever assumed that Tsuna was some happy go lucky idiot, but he also assumed he wasn’t actually thinking about much in that head of his he’s sure is more fluff than brains

Gokudera-kun is going to be disillusioned with me any day now. I’m grateful to him but I feel bad for somehow tricking him like this. I shouldn’t let him get too close but I don’t want to hurt him, either. What should I do? I’m sorry, Gokudera-kun. Please don’t hate me when you figure it out.

Yamamoto is such a nice person; he shouldn’t be stuck around someone like me. He’s like Kyoko-chan like that. Nice to everyone, even useless, no good me. I wouldn’t be surprised if she fell in love with him. Of course the two nicest people in the whole school would date, right? I’m so worried about him… I don’t know how to handle the way he lights up when he sees me. What should I do? Don’t try and hurt yourself again. Don’t get hurt for my sake, either. I’m sorry I’m so weak…

Hibari-san doesn’t treat me differently from anyone else. He’s super scary but he still bothers to treat me like I’m normal. I think if even he began to act like I wasn’t worth his time I would seriously just give up and call it quits. Things have gotten so messed up. I’m relying on a psychopath like that kicking my ass to reassure me I still mean something. If even someone who values strength above all else still has hope for me what choice do I have?

Reborn’s going to give up on me. Reborn’s going to give up on me. Reborn’s going to give up on me. Don’t go. Don’t go. Don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go— It would be just like me to be so useless I beat the world’s greatest, huh?

The only words he ever found in relation to himself, and words that shake him to his core, are very simple ones

Please wait for me

One time, though, he managed to dive deep enough to find the source of Tsuna’s Dying Will, and he keeps going back despite knowing it’s a pointless, silly thing to do.

There are still the broken remnants of a cage around it. If he sits near it like this, he can almost pretend he isn’t in Vindicare. The cage is still red hot. He’ll burn his fingers if he tries to handle them. The flames reach out to him but don’t touch.

It is not a soft, warm home.

It is something which, if he allowed it to, would consume him right down to his marrow.

This is how Sawada Tsunayoshi has always survived

One day he sees that flame guttering, and he feels panic swell in his throat, because what could possibly, after all this time, be dimming that roaring inferno

There’s ice at the base now

Tsuna made a binding vow to destroy Vongola, that rotten, shambling corpse of a man’s ideals puppeteered by someone with a face a lot like his.

He knows better than anyone that when you make that kind of vow, if you don’t fulfill it… There are consequences.

The mafia has practically deified Vongola Primo’s will into its own separate entity.

The ring, rebuilt and no longer fit for any other, past or future, weighs cold on a young boy’s finger, demanding he make good on his promise

Mukuro wants to destroy the mafia. He’ll get his wish. He’ll make sure of it.

Sawada Tsunayoshi… Is too kind for that life, anyhow.

The Concept Of Self

Written for @sayakazine Please check out the fundraiser!!! Summary: Sayaka needs a change in direction when it comes to her image. Who better to ask but the Ultimate Fashionista? It's strange, then, that Enoshima Junko doesn't act like expected at all. Rating: PG Warnings: None really. Notes: This is one of my two fics posted for the Sayaka Zine! It's Ikuzono-focused but you can read it platonically. I've always been super interested in the idea of Sayaka interacting with Mukuro while she's disguised because, uh, Mukuro's not the best at acting and Sayaka would definitely notice. I love writing Sayaka as more shrewd and inquisitive while Mukuro is floundering. I think they're cute. Currently, the Sayaka Zine is running a fundraiser, so please show them support! Special thanks also to @softausterity for the illustrations, which are included in both the zine and the Ao3 version. Go check them out, too! ***Alternative Ao3 Link*** Commission? Donate?

She didn’t look at many fashion magazines growing up, even after she debuted.

She loved fashion and pretty dresses as much as the next person, but it had never been her passion. Just something she appreciated and respected from a distance with little understanding beyond if she thought an outfit was cute.

At the beginning of her career, she was told it was okay to not concern herself with such things.

“You’re cute enough without trying!”

Except now it’s become,

“You can’t keep coasting on your natural charm forever.”

She supposed she had expected this to a degree. As distant as she was from the normal teenage girl, she would’ve been a fool to not notice the rising star of the fashion world.

One Enoshima Junko.

–

There were other girls with noticeable style, of course. The Black Cherry girls were a strong example with the guitarist especially standing out. That guitarist, Mioda Ibuki, had a personal style that was as bold and brazen as her music.

Sayaka admired that commitment to individuality, but when she looked at herself, the difference between her and Mioda-senpai was as stark as peacocks and sparrows. No, Mioda-senpai knew herself better than anyone, but Sayaka didn’t think that she’d be understood at all.

But someone like Enoshima-san might be different. Enoshima was similarly bold and outspoken, but her interviews also depicted her as someone with a keen perception and a knack for understanding not just people but people at their deepest and basest.

When she finally met Enoshima, she had been on edge.

…but Enoshima-san wasn’t what she expected.

–

“Enoshima-san, can I speak to you for a moment?”

“Uh, why?”

What caught Sayaka’s attention first was that Enoshima was always on edge around her.

“It’s nothing serious! I just want to talk!”

“O-Oh, that’s, fine, I-I guess?”

Enoshima would cross her arms defensively and not at all like the powerful young woman who was predicted to take Japan by storm. Almost as if that person had been nothing more than an illusion.

But the Enoshima-san in the magazines absolutely isn’t a person that the press could fake.

There must be something that Sayaka is missing.

“Have I done something to offend you in some way?” she asked innocently, taking in the twitch in Enoshima’s eye. How Enoshima just barely manages to disguise her grimace as a grin. “I’ve actually come to you for advice, Enoshima-san.”

“Oh. Oh!” Enoshima does perk up at that, but she still seemed strangely flustered. “L-Like about…boys?”

Oh. Oh.

“It’s not about Naegi-kun at all.”

“I-I didn’t say–!” Enoshima balked, face a now brighter shade that rivaled her red nails. “W-What even gave you the impression?!”

“It’s a joke,” Sayaka chirped with a laugh. “I know there are rumors about Naegi-kun and me, but an idol is nothing without her fans. I’d never do anything to break so many hearts.” She does pause, switching to a more serious mode. “It actually is about my fans. More specifically, the image I present for them.”

The sky was unbearably bright. A more blinding blue than the shade of Enoshima’s widening eyes. Enoshima was no doubt taken aback.

“How am I supposed to…?” Enoshima stopped herself, flushing again. “Wait, so you’re looking to change…your look?”

Sayaka felt her smile strain. A shameful slip that had her want to dig in her nails and heels.

“In a manner of speaking, Enoshima-san. I’m glad you understand.”

It’s supposed to be Enoshima’s talent. Enoshima should understand fashion and image better than anything, from the matter of boys to the matter of her own heart.

Enoshima’s shoulders hunch in the most pitiful way. She worries on her lower lip extensively. Her bright blue eyes go downcast. Her mouth works to speak, but hardly a sound comes out. The bright red of her cheeks really does bring out those homely freckles.

“If you don’t have the time,” Sayaka said, with a pang of sympathy overriding any disappointment. “That’s fi…”

“It’s fine!” Enoshima exclaimed, finally bursting. “I-It’s absolutely fine, Maizono!” Tilting her head back, she forces a hearty laugh. “I’m just surprised! Didn’t think you’d go out of your way to ask me about something like that!”

She’s being honest.

Enoshima clears her throat.

“S-Say,” she says, quirking an eyebrow in a way that only slightly distracted from the sweat dripping down her cheek and the clamminess of her clenched hands. “How about a shopping trip? J-Just us two girly girls.”

She’s uncertain, but she’s earnest.

Sayaka doesn’t have to force her smile in the slightest.

“I would love that, Enoshima-san.”

–

There’s a shopping district nearby Hope’s Peak Academy. Since a lot of Ultimates flock there, it’s always bustling especially in the afternoon. To call it a cornerstone of trends would be an exaggeration. It’s a perfectly ordinary distinct, it’s just in a convenient spot.

Not that Sayaka would know for sure. Enoshima was wetting her lips in a clear sign of nerves rather than offering any judgment on the matter. When Enoshima noticed her curious stare, she forced a grin and snatched up her arm.

“Let’s do this, Maizono!”

Her voice cracked at the honorific. Likely also nerves.

Sayaka had already put on her best-disarming smile, but Enoshima was already tugging her into the first clothing store, closest to the entrance.

Was it convenience, or…?

It wasn’t her place to assume.

–

“This is cute, isn’t it?”

She had picked out a soft blue dress. Rather plain but the kind of thing worn in movies going for a rural charm. It’s the kind of unassuming but lovely thing that Sayaka would usually go for.

She can’t help but think that the Ultimate Fashionista would call it drab, but Enoshima is terribly tense as her gaze flickers from Sayaka’s innocent face to the cloth.

“It’s, uh, fine, yeah.” Enoshima finally forced a grin and a thumbs-up. “Is it what you’re looking for?”

…so that you can hurry up and leave?

“I’m not sure,” Sayaka said, and it was a nugget of truth despite everything. “Can we keep looking?”

Enoshima looked like she might be sick, but kept up that grin.

“S-Sure!”

The next outfit that Sayaka entertains is a poofy blouse. Enoshima simply nods along, agreeing that it’s cute. She even points out that the mannequin was wearing it so it must be popular.

Shouldn’t she know based on her own intuition?

She did notice. Enoshima looked over clothes as well, but idly like she had never been clothes shopping before. Enoshima did seem partial to some colors and designs, but they largely seemed more suited for blending in with the bushes over dazzling a crowd.

Just to test her, Sayaka did pick up a dress that was patterned with earthy tones of green and brown. She knew who it’d remind Enoshima of, and she saw how Enoshima’s eyes brightened when she brought it over.

“How about this, Enoshima-san?”

It’s a dress that even Sayaka knows she wouldn’t be able to wear, regardless of how charming it was. It’s too unassuming. Even her plainest clothes needed to have some level of flashiness. The Ultimate Fashionista would also say as much.

“Uh…” Enoshima-san hesitates, cheeks pink. “Is that…what you’re into?”

Sayaka just smiled as she always did. Smiled, smiled, smiled.

“Why? Do you think it’d look good on me?”

“Well,” Enoshima stutters. “I don’t want to recommend something you don’t want to wear. And I’ll be real, I don’t even know what you want to wear.”

“I’m not picky.” Her smile wouldn’t twitch. “This is for the fans as much as it’s for myself.”

Enoshima just frowned at her.

“Are you sure? Are you sure it’s for yourself as much as it’s for your fans?”

Ah. Enoshima-san is making herself into a problem now.

“Sure I’m sure!” A cute laugh here. Smile, smile, smile. Turn up the CHARM! “Why wouldn’t I be sure?”

Rather than at her, Enoshima looked up at the store lights.

It smarts a little.

“Do you like the dress or not?” She finally cut straight to the point. “Do you think it’s cute? Unassuming but so very charming? Because I’ll trust your opinion on anything, Enoshima-san. You’re the Ultimate Fashionista, so this is your talent, right?”

Enoshima looked at her shoes next. Her cheeks are flushed, and it’s likely not because of the dress.

I feel like I’m bullying her. That’s not how an idol is supposed to act at all. What’s wrong with me?

Enoshima doesn’t even assert herself. She just shrugs before sullenly nodding. Sayaka had once thought that the Enoshima-san she read about would tear someone apart if they dared to cross her. She had envied that idea to an almost sickening degree.

I’m already twisted, but…

“Do you think I should just forget about my fans?”

Still, I…

“That I shouldn’t consider them at all?”

Enoshima’s shoulders hunch.

“...m-maybe?”

She sounded so unsure.

“I-I mean.” She’s stuttering. “Isn’t this about you and what image you want to put out?”

“In a sense.” Sayaka is calm. “But idols aren’t anything without their fans. Not considering them at all would be cruel. I exist for their sake, so…”

“So you’re going to restrict yourself based on what you think they want?” Enoshima’s frown deepened. “I don’t think that’s what self-expression is about. It, uh, sounds like the opposite, actually.”

The thing is that Enoshima’s sentiment was sincere. She still wasn’t confident at all, but it was still a belief from her heart.

And it was ridiculous. Cliché and cheesy, but Sayaka had begun to suspect…

Maybe Enoshima-san has a secret twin or something.

That should’ve been the end of it. If this Enoshima wasn’t actually the Enoshima-san that she read about, then what actual good was she? This trip was a waste of time. A total waste, but she supposed it made for a pleasant enough detour.

And this Enoshima-san isn’t a bad person. She’s cute much the same way that Naegi-kun is. But my fans always come first.

“It can’t be helped,” Sayaka found herself saying. “I’m an idol, so that’s the way that things need to be. I can’t be like Enoshima-san.”

Enoshima warily regards her. That’s her first cue.

“I had a great time.” She made a move to put the dress back on the rack. “And I really do appreciate your help. I’m sorry for wasting your time.”

“You’re just going to cut things off here?” Enoshima’s voice rose. “Seriously?! You haven’t even tried on any of the clothes you showed me!”

Just like how unassuming Naegi could be full of surprises, it was a shock when Enoshima reached out and grabbed her wrist.

“So what if it’s not what the fans want? The fans aren’t even here, Maizono-san! If you want to wear these outfits, you should! I won’t judge!”

“A-Ah…”

Enoshima’s grip was stronger than she could’ve imagined. Enoshima realized that too when she winced, hurriedly retracting her hand.

“S-Sorry, I just…” Enoshima scratched the back of her neck. She dug in her nails like it itched terribly.  “I’ve just been thinking… I want to see what you want to wear. Even if it’s not what others want; if it’s what you want… What’s the harm in dressing up? That’s…what I wanted to say.”

Her wrist wasn’t swollen, and she really should leave. She really should.

Instead, she says. “It might be underwhelming or disappointing. I’m…afraid I’m not as sparkly on my own as I am on the stage.”

“That’s fine,” Enoshima almost replied too quickly. “I still want to know more about you. Despite our, uh, differences, I think we could get along.” Then, quieter, she mumbled. “You kind of remind me of someone I really like and admire, so I do want to help you…”

“Ah. Hm.” Sayaka tilted her head, genuinely curious because that person couldn’t be Naegi. “Who?”

“N-Not important!” Enoshima squealed. “Do you have to try and distract me instead of just answering the question?!” She’s whining, too. It’s so childish. “You always do that!”

She’s the one that’s like Naegi-kun. I can’t help but tease her.

She can’t help but laugh.

I can’t help but like her.

She takes the dress back and holds it close.

“Alright!” She exclaims like it’s easy. Like it’s simple. Like her heart really is light. “I’ve actually always wanted to wear green. I like green more than pink if you can believe it.”

“I don’t,” Enoshima said bluntly. “But I understand it.”

Sayaka smiles wide, and it doesn’t even hurt in a bad way.

my fav moments from recentish chapters for my own reference bc why not

91

>My friends...don't make such sad faces.

Even though I am living here and now with all of you,

If this sacrifice of mine paves the way for new history,

If these flames of mine can create a new life,

>Then I am ready for my fate.

>I've been collecting these stones because I thought they could be parts of my parent...

>But even though you might not be my real parent,

Once I get them all, I'll still give them back to you, Mukuro.

Because it is your body.

>This pregnant woman is dead...yet the child inside her is still alive.

>I've seen so many dead bodies by now...and yet never a body which still held the warmth of another's life...

>I can still save the child.

>And yet...

>What miserable life of loneliness awaits him, an undying child who has no parent by his side.

>Least I can do is give you a name...

>Since my name is Mukuro, a 'corpse'...you shall be called

>Kabane. [true meaning: dead body]

>Do you resent Akane, your aunt?

>While I was living in the village...I did think that auntie might have hated me. But looking back now...

>I think I can understand her feelings a little.

>The reason she was afraid of me...was because

>She was afraid something could happen to Yataro.

>She was determined to kill me because she wanted to protect what was important to her.

>Of course, this hurted me.

>But auntie wasn't in the wrong either...So I do not resent her.

92

>Our ancestor, Hachifuku Tasaburo the First, believed that despite all their differences and misunderstandings, kemono and humans still could co-exist, accepting each other as equals.

>As a Tasaburo of today,

>I am determined that the atrocities commited by Inari Yoko cannot be tolerated.

you can skip the kaido infodump

>The giant mamono sent after Kabane-san and his friends is mostly likely the work of Kaido, the minister of national security.

>I really dislike men like him...parading around in his suit, creating that uncanny fearsome image.

>I do not care about your opinion. State the facts.

>Ohhh! Ohhh! My master, I am so very sorry! Please, do not get mad at me!!

>Oh...Well!

>It seems like he often has some sort of 'secret talks' with Mikage, the minister of the mamono project.

>What are they talking about?

>Well...It's a little diffcult to explain...

>Minister Kaido is a fanatic of sorts, as they say? He's collecting lots of toy monsters from those monster movies he loves,

>And together with Mikage they are like children...obsessed with the idea of bringing these monsters to life.

>So to say...what they actually are doing is Kaido having his ape minions undergo mamono transformation,

>Creating real atrocities one after another.

>As of today, Kaido has successfully brainwashed his whole species into believing that their sole purpose in life is to become these 'monsters'...creating an army of pawns who don't feel any pain.

>It' him...

>I'm sure, this Kaido...

>...is the one trying to create the 'perfect mamono'.

>Perfect...?

>Meaning the one whose body wouldn't self-destruct.

>The ape kemono clan, 'shoujou', as I knew them

>were kemono who achieved their prosperity by firmly believing that 'violence is justice'. They valued the strength of their clan as a whole over their lives as individuals.

>And a thousand years ago, they were the ones who killed the most humans in the war.

>Therefore, I decided against them being among those fourteen who created the kemono stones.

>Even though as a clan they were truly superior.

>It is no wonder that Kaido has sided with Inari Yoko then.

>Birds of a feather, huh?

>They really match each other.

this one is only bc i wanna show thin calling himself handsome

>Back when we saw the raibow tides in Vietnam, I sent the pictures of the mamono corpse to my colleagues, asking 'Does anyone know what is this?'

>And Thin was the only one who didn't reply at all.

>That was so out of character for you, so I assumed that you must be in Japan.

>I wanted to reply right away~~~

>But I couldn't, because e-mails are checked by the government.

>But The Tanuki Express isn't! So I've been relying the mamono data we acquire to Doctor Thin.

>As for now, I'm but a random handsome doctor in Tokyo...there wasn't much I could do until now.

>But the mice are on our side now, right?

>That means I am free to work in my Kyoto lab while keeping it a secret~

>A secret..?

>The fact that it's possible to start the vaccine development.

>Oh!

>Right!

>If we have the vaccine, we could intentionally trigger the self-destruction of the mamono bodies...

>In that case, even if Kaido's plans go through, we at least will have some means to counter him.

>But...

>If an in-deep research could be possible...

>Then I'd like to eliminate the virus in a way that would not destroy those affected,

>But rather cure them.

>Just something I'd want to try...my personal wish.

>Geh?!

>What the hell?! Hitting on a guy already?!

Isn't he with his girlfriend?! Are you blind??

>Hey! Are you kidding me?! Have you got no shame?!

>Ah! Don't raise your voice at me!

>Huh? Who's raising voice now??

>Sorry, dude~ She's with me. She's just at that age when things get a little...

>Alright, let's use them! Go Go Tsubaki!

>Sigh...

>Oh...you know, we are heading for that farm too, in order to observe things.

>Even though we all are working for the government, sometimes there are some disagreements...so the higher-ups sent us there from Tokyo to check up on the farm.

>Umetaro-san sticks to moderate views within the government...

>He continues to work under Inari-sama in order to minimize possible casualties, like in this case.

>So, will you please join forces with us? I'm sure we have the same goal, even though we will be working differently.

>How is...Nobimaru-kun?

>Well...he's alive for now, I guess? Who knows how much longer he can keep it up though...

>Huh?! What do you mean? Aren't you friends? What happened between you two?!

>Huh? I wouldn't call us 'good friends'...And I do worry about him, okay!

>I do...worry...

>Huh?! What is that thing?!

>You've seen it before.

>Oh! You mean back when we attacked the mobster hideout?

>I didn't recognize! Didn't think your body would become like this!!

>Well...

>Neither did I.

>Does anyone else know about this?!

>I'm afraid Hoshikuma has sensed it, but remains quiet.

>Inari-sama is aware as well, but she doesn't care.

>What...She doesn't..?

>But did you not do this to yourself in order to please her...

>I guess he's ready for whatever awaits him later. That poor bastard realized there's nothing that can help him, and he is deaf to words.

>But still...You know,

>I don't wanna Nobimaru-san to die like this.

>I've seen people I know die and die again...I don't want to see anyone dying no more.

>Does that...include me, too?

>Of course!

>Friends or foes...I really don't want anyone to die.

>I've decided for myself that the best outcome would be for both sides to have less casualties if possible.

>I guess everyone's kinda outta their mind, huh?

>I get it!!

>Uwah!

>Umetaro-san! Aren't we alike?

>Huh?!

>I don't want you to die either! I'm glad we were able to meet again and talk. Let's do our best tomorrow!

>Oh...Akira-chan...

nice gag aimoto very funny (rolls eyes)

>Big Brother, you got it all wrong!!

>Seriously, we were just discussing our viewpoints and found something in common before tomorrow's mission...

>Right! Big Brother, Umetaro-san is a good person!

>Is that so. If it's about tomorrow, shouldn't all parties be involved?

>Yeah...You are right.

>Oh?

Kemono Jihen Chapter 95: Summary + Page-by-Page Translation

Translated by me, proofread by @stinkigami

I know, it’s late, the Chapter has been out for a while but duh

Chapter 95: No One Dies

Summary:

Shiki informs Kabane about Ibaraki-Facility. Unlike the breeding farm in Hokkaido, the research facility is Mikage’s castle, so they better prepare carefully for their mission. His watch rings, jt’s a call from Yui who reports their success in Hokkaido since they managed to get the documents and take care of the mamono… but Akira can’t fight anymore.

Flashback to Yamabuki thanking Akira for killing everything in the facility. Then she talks to Ume that she can’t do the job she was sent for (transporting the mamono) since they’re all dead. She then asks if he knows Akira and whether or not she should tell the other ministers.

Back to “now” where Yui says he informed the others. Akira has further flashbacks and then laments that he wanted to save everyone but put in too much power and ended up killing everyone. He calls himself pathetic for wishing “nobody dies” without being strong enough to actually achieve something like that. Yui comforts him with similar words that Akira used when Yui was saved from the Nilestone.

Ume interrupts them by farting, claiming it happens when he listens to naive chatter. He laments that he doesn't like young people cuz they think they can achieve everything when they try hard enough and explains how “no one dies” is practically impossible but “to keep trying it” is important.

Ume leaves for his plane, Tsubaki stays behind for a bit and explains that, not long ago, she lived her life wanting everyone (in her village) to die but in truth, she wanted someone to come and save her. The reason Akira suffers now is cuz he hasn’t stopped trying and that his chosen path is a difficult one. Then, she leaves too.

Back to Kabane, Kon, Shiki who agree on going to Ibaraki. They get a call from Mayo who says that the equipment is ready. He also asks them to let Urabe join the party. Kabana asks how Urabe has been and Mayo tells him that Urabe chose his ex-wife and daughter’s current home with the new husband as his hideout cuz he has some ntr-fetish. We see a short scene of the family and Urabe on the couch preparing for the mission.

Setting changes to IbarakiPrefecture, Tsukuba-City to Mikage’s facility. Mikage is checking on the various experiments. One of the test subjects wants to know if she’ll really turn into what she wants and Mikage is reassuring. All she wants is to be an asset to Kaidou and receive a strong, beautiful name from him.

Kaidou’s wife drops by and chastises Mikage for always apologizing to those lower than him. Mikage wants to know when Kaidou visits again to which the wife replies that he will when Mikage makes new Kaiju for him. Mikage is jealous because he, apparently, likes Kaidou very much and doesn’t like that the wife can see him everyday but he can’t. He thinks that he is more useful to Kaidou cuz he creates Kaiju for him while his wife doesn't.

Mikage looks up what to do when the person you like has a wife and finds “adultery” Then he starts infecting one of his test subjects, enters her body and takes control of it. He now looks like a (very much exposed) Mushroom-Loli

-End

Page-by-Page Translation

Page 1

Kabane: What did Tsunamayo-san say?

Shiki: He said to wait it out a little more. We should stay on alert a little longer. The laboratory is not just a breeding facility, it’s more like the castle of Minister of Mamono Mikage, so we better prepare for it carefully. Hey, Mukuro, you’re too close to the TV! (Mukuro is literally inches away from the screen)

Kon: I wanna leave for the attack soon.

Kabane: Is that so…

Shiki: Oh? (His Smartwatch rings, it’s a call from Yui)

Yui: It’s Yui… I’m calling to report our results.

Page 2

Yui: We obtained the documents and wiped out all the mamono at the farm. I could say the mission was carried out perfectly but… Akira has lost the will to fight.

Kabane: Eh?

Page 3

Tsubaki: Well…. We have to get our next plane back to Tokyo. Akira… why don’t you take some time if you need it before returning home?

Page 4

(Flashback last chapter, big shot of the frozen Gao)

Yamabuki: (in Akira’s mind) Thank you, Akira-kun. You killed all the Mamono

Page 5

(Flashback Yamabuki talking to Ume)

Yamabuki: Well then, Mr. Chief Secretary, we’ll take our leave. The Mamono we were supposed to bring back to Tokyo… ah, no, every single one of these things was wiped out.

Page 6

Yamabuki: So you are an acquaintance of Akira-san? Our job was obstructed by an outsider with ties to the Chief Secretary. I should share that with the other Ministers, right/shouldn’t I?

Ume: U kiddin’ me!? You were the trigger for everything!

Yamabuki: I? Fufufu… hahahahaha! I haven't done anything. Everything that happened was done by others acting on their free will.

Page 7

Yamabuki: Let’s go, Mayu.

Mayu: What do you mean? Is it over?

Yamabuki: Ah right, Akira-kun… I’d absolutely love to meet you again.

Voice in Akira’s head: Please remember what I said.

Page 8

(back in real time)

Yui: Akira. How are you feeling? I reported everything to Yashima.

Akira’s voice in a flashback: I don’t think the mamono here are the bad guys. They are all still babies! I will take care of them! (lit. become the dad of everyone, oh Akira). That’s the real purpose of the true “Nobody-Dies Squad. It is my vision.

Akira in real time: …I …

Page 9

Akira: I tried to stop Gao-chan… but I put in too much power. I didn’t make it in time. The Zookeepers and Gao-chan… everyone died because of me… It’s all my fault. I wanted to save them all. “Nobody dies” Why did I… How could a weak guy like me even dare to believe that!!! (Poor guy is completely done)

Page 10

Yui: Akira, we’re the other one’s half. / We are two halves of the same

Akira: Eh…?

Yui: Did you forget already? What you told me after I destroyed our hometown. And this time, it’s me who wants to say these same words to you: Let’s bear it together! We’re twins, we share everything.

Akira: (sobbing) B- big brother…

Page 11

(Yui and Akira hug and Ume farts)

Ume: Oops, my bad. Happens when I listen to naive talk.

Yui: What!?

Ume: That’s why I don’t like young people with bright futures.

Page 12

Ume: They think they can do just about anything if they put in a little effort. How awesome. Aren’t you guys great at being delusional?

(Akira/Yui look at Ume)

Ume: Got it? Our little “No one dies” idea is basically impossible. You can’t take a zebra outta a lion’s mouth just as it might be stupid to try and save someone who has already accepted their fate. That would be some tale out of a dream. But anyway… We won’t stop trying! That’s the essence of our Don’t Die Squad.

Page 13

Ume: It’s It’s not your fault, so stop concerning yourself with it!

Yui: Mr. Umetarō

Page 14

(Ume farts again)

Ume: Heh! I gotta take a shit

Tsubaki: Our flight is coming up.

Ume: (leaves Tsubaki behind) Then wait for me!

Tsubaki: Akira-kun. I’ve lived my life thinking that everyone around me deserves to die…

Page 15

Tsubaki: Because that was the quickest way to break out of my narrow world. But the truth is that I always wanted someone to come and help me. The reason you are suffering is that you haven’t given up yet. If things aren’t going well, it's because you chose the difficult path. We’ll be waiting for you in Tokyo. (She leaves)

Page 16

(Back to Kabane, Shiki, Kon)

Kabane: Alright, then let’s head to the research lab. I think Akira is feeling down right now because he’s kind, not because he’s weak.

Shiki: …that’s right.

Kon: Then let’s report the Hokkaido news to the spider girl with the courier. She was so loud about this.

Shiki: Aren’t you nice?

Kon: No way!

Mayo: (tinkering on something?) Yo, it’s all ready!

( calling over smartwatch)

Shiki: Ah, it’s Mayo.

Mayo: Select the members tomorrow and come to the set location but I want you to include Urabe join your team.

Kabane: Urabe-san!? How has he been?

Mayo: Fine, fine! That guy’s more monster than human.

Page 18

But now that Tokyo is like that, he’s deliberately lurking in his ex’s new family’s house (with new hubby) as his hideout. He’s got some crazy NTR-Hobby / What a deranged cuck, huh? (wtf Urabe…)

Page 19

Miki (Urabe’s daughter): Mom! Didn’t I ask you to put carrots in my curry? [Kansai]

Miki’s Mom: Miki, stop speaking Kansai-dialect

Mom’s new hubby: Ah, that’s fine, Miki just loves her Kansai quirks. (Miki stacks several か as in Kansai dialect, consonant sounds are oftentimes doubled)

(While the others eat, Urabe polishes a gun)

Urabe: Alright, this is okay. [Kansai]

Setting changes to Ibaraki-Prefecture, Tsukuba-City and the Mamono research center run by Minister Mikage (a mushroom Kemono who only received a proper body and mind through the mamono virus)

Mikage: Good evening, everyone! It’s time for the evening check-ups! How are you feeling? (To one of the specimens in an experimental pod) Please tell us your race, sex and sample number.

Test-subject: I am BM136, a female shoujou. It’s not bad and my joints don’t hurt.

Page 21

Test-subject: Hey, are my specifications really, exactly what I asked for? The only thing I care about is being worthy enough for Kaidou-sama to give me a name, something that would symbolize my beauty! (this is a bit loose but conveys better)

Mikage: Eh? I can’t tell you. It’s a rule. Butbut you’ll turn into a super strong Mamono.

Text: BM (self-destruction all out attack type]

Test-subject: Oh really? You look really weak so it's hard to believe you.

Mikage: Is there anything that you’re not happy with? Any food you dislike? Are there any complications (He checks on other subjects). Hmhm, everyone is progressing well.

Page 22

Mikage: Oku-sama! (Kaidou’s wife appears) (oku-sama is a very polite way to refer to another man’s wife)

Oku: Dr. Mikage. I might be Kaidou’s wife but you don’t have to call me that. My name is Ranbo.

Mikage: Yes, true. I’m sorry.

Oku/Ranbo: So could you stop doing that?

Mikage: Eh?

Oku/Ranbo: I was watching you doing your round. If you keep apologizing to those below you, you will quickly lose your reputation no matter how great of a scientist you are.

Mikage: Err… ehhm… I’m sorry…

Page 23

Oku/Ranbo: So.

Mikage: Ah, when is the next time that Kaidou-kun will visit?

Oku/Ranbo: Well, as soon as you create new Kaijus (that’s what Kaisou’s ape-kemono + other animal fusions are called) Lately, you have been prioritizing Inari-sama’s orders.

Mikage: Yes, of course. Inari-sama is my benefactor. She is the one I must cherish above all else. Mrs. Wife, are you able to see Kaidou-kun every day?

Oku: Of course? I am his wife after all.

Mikage: But… why can you? You don’t even create Kaijus for him. What’s the difference between you and me?

Page 24

Oku: What are you implying(With a rather confrontational expression)

Mikage: Ehm… ehm…

(Oku is gone and Mikage looks up “The person I like has a wife” on the internet because he doesn’t understand the concept, remember he is 2 years old… and a mushroom. A search result is “cheating / adultery”)

Mikage: A- adultery…Is having friends considered cheating too? Thank goodness, I haven’t done anything wrong. Kaidou-kun, I haven’t seen you in a week. Am I the only one who wants to meet you (probably wondering if Kaidou wants to meet him too)

Page 25

Mikage: Yes… (He goes to the first subject he checked on earlier) BM136, I’m sorry but I have to do something bad. (He starts infecting? her, shrooms sprout all over her body and it transforms)

Page 26

Mikage: Kaidou’s wife can be with him anytime, so if I become like her, maybe he too would want to be with me.

(Infection complete, Mikage entered the body fully)

Wah, awesome! This is a mammals brain

Page 27

Mikage exits the experimental pod with the body he has claimed… he’s a Mushroom-Loli now…

Mikage: I want to be Kaidou-kun’s number 1… I wonder if I can…

So um...

DANGANRONPA NON-DESPAIR AU

Everything is normal except Hamilton is smushed in here somehow?

So basically the idea is that class 78 has to do something for an upcoming school festival right? Sayaka suggests doing a musical, Leon agrees because he thinks this is about to be a Shakespeare situation where he can kiss her as the lead role. Asuhina is excited because musicals include dancing and singing and having so so so so so much fun together! Yay! Sakura agrees after seeing how happy this makes Hina.

Toko says this is a dumb idea that'll just end up with all the work being dumped on her (since she's the Ultimate writer so she'll have experience with developing plot) and the brainless bimbo popstar (Since she's the Ultimate idol so she'll have experience with music). Byakuya agrees with her (which she goes crazy about for a quick second) since now everyone can sing and dance like Maizono-san wastes her time doing.

Kiyotaka interjects here and happily (and loudly) says that this is a great opportunity to learn a new skill. He says they should do it. Mondo cuts in hesitantly, not wanting to go against his bro, but also kinda seeing the Toko chick and the Douchebag's point. The can't just write a whole new musical and learn the lines and dance moves in a month and a half.

Hifumi suggests that they use a story that currently exists, he has many amazing doujins already made and ready for re-enacting. Celeste giggles quietly before building on his suggestion. Maybe they shouldn't use something from a book, but an actual musical so they didn't have to go through the hassle of converting the stories to song. Something historic and memorable.

Yasuhiro shivers, stammering through a plea that the musical isn't too horrific. Horror musicals carry bad vibes and usually means that all of the planning will go wrong. Junko takes that moment to sneak up behind him and shake him, giggling when he jumps out of his seat in surprise. She rests against the chair he was previously sitting in, adding that the musical can't be all rainbows and lollipops. There has to be some despair sadness in it to captivate the audience.

Chihiro, who had been tapping away at their tablet since the beginning of the class meeting, pipes up that they might have found a musical that satisfies everyone and has characters that could fit some of their classmates. They flip the tablet over, showcasing the golden background with a single black star and a silhouette pointing up to everyone else.

Everyone could've guessed that the idol immediately knew the musical despite the absence of a title. When she started beaming, not one person even bat an eye. What no one expected was the Ultimate Biker Gang leader jerking out of his chair, unintentionally slamming his hands on the table with eyes that shown almost as bright as Taka's when hes determined, and shouting the title loud enough to make the tablet holding Tech Wiz flinch.

Hamilton

It took some explaining from a hopeful Sayaka, proud Chihiro, and flustered Mondo, but everyone seemed satisfied (or just dismissive in Byakuya and Mukuro's case) about preforming Hamilton. It was historical, information, enjoyable, well-written, and easy enough to learn for a bunch of Ultimates!

Now they just needed to figure out who's taking what role.

The return of Enoshima AU: Mikako's gone crazy

Mikako: Hehehehe

Junko: Jesus, the hell's wrong with you? Wait....*gasps* Are you falling into despair alright?

Mikako: ...

Junko: Woo! Finally, do you know how long it took me to try to get you into despair, 50 hours! Now I've finally done it, all because I've injured your friend right?

Mikako: *looks at Junko* You think Despair is the only thing you care about? You think all this is funny to you?!

Junko: I mean, duh? Why do you think I was the Ultimate despair in the first place, Despair is beautiful.

Mikako: So you don't care if people are suffering?!

Junko: Yep, I managed to bring people in despair mutiple times and now, I'll make sure you and your friends in despair

Mikako: You....You....

Then something made Mikako snap!

Mikako: Hehehehehe....

Junko: H-Hey what's so funny?

Mikako: Heheheh, oh you poor soul, you think making people kill each other is enjoyful and pleasant? Thinking that people killing each other, people dying and unleashing those monokumas will make you feel better about yourself? Gee, you must be a huge idiot than I thought!

Junko: HEY! You don't get to talk to me like that!

Mikako: OH WELL, I AM TALKING TO YOU LIKE THAT!

Junko: *growls* You know what, I should just execute you right now and send your dead body to your friends!

Mikako: Oh not if I kill you first! *broke out of her restrains*

Junko: W-What the- How did you-GAK!

Mikako: I told you Enoshima-san, there are some things you don't know about me! And I'm not as weak as you think!

Junko: GET OFF ME YOU CRAZY BITCH!

Mikako: Oh? I'm crazy?! Says the one who kidnapped me and trying to bring everyone into despair!

Junko: GAH! Mukuro! Do something!

Mikako: Oh I'm afraid, she won't be helping you, I told her to betray you because she believes in hope than despair! I'm not in despair but I'm very vengeful~

Junko: *grunts* GET OFF! *mind* Jesus, this bitch is crazy! I didn't think this emo chick would be crazier than me! I need to kill her- GAK!

Mikako: *squeezing Junko's neck* Since you love despair so much, How about I put you in despair instead!

Junko: W-What are you gonna do to me?

Mikako: I'm going to make sure you don't hurt anybody else! I'm gonna do what I had to go through when I was being used a lab rat!

Junko: NO! LET GO OF ME!

(Later)

Junko was strapped to a chair and had wires on her head forcing her to watch her death over and over.

Junko: *Screaming* MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE! NO MORE!

Mikako: Why? I thought you like watch people die?

Junko: YEAH BUT WHEN IT'S ME, IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE! IT'S FUCKING CRAZY! LET ME GO!

Mikako: Now you know how everyone feels when you bring despair to the world.

Junko: *crying* PLEASE LET ME GO! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Mikako: Oh, now you're begging for mercy? No! You're going to watch until you pass out!

Junko: NO PLEASE! STOP! OKAY OKAY YOU WIN! I'LL TELL TEAM DANGANRONPA TO LET YOU GO, JUST MAKE IT STOP!

Mikako: Nope, I'm not falling for your lies!

Junko: NOOOOOOOO! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

(2 minutes later; Junko blacked out from watching her death multiple times)

Mikako: *sighs* I'm sorry I had to do this to you but you've gone too far!

Mikako was about to feel when she felt a pain on her head.

Mikako: *grunts* My head, I don't feel so good. Why is everything spinning? I feel like I'm gonna- *passed out and falls to the ground*

Mikako passed out on the group after getting payback at Junko for bringing everyone in despair and kidnapping her.

Later, someone found her.

Sora: Guys! I found her!

Only Time Could Tell (1896 drabble)

word count: 665 ship: 1896 (HibaChrome) Chrome's Birthday 2024 Summary: Hibari was never a very social guy, but one girl caught his eye with a love confession one day and now where things went for them? Only time could tell. Gift for @thehandworld

He'd never been a very social guy. Sometimes that's just how it has to be, you gotta close yourself off before the wrong person gets in and does so much irreparable damage that you're left as nothing more than a hollow shell of the man you once thought you were. He was the strongest, but that strength didn't come from nowhere, he'd learned to fight, to bare his fangs and claw his way out then lick the wounds in silence when he could no longer stand as the bodies piled up beneath him. A lone wolf isn't always exiled from the pack, sometimes they're just better off running free and operating solo.

Few dared to cross his path, even less dared to reach out and touch him. Icy glares and a cold touch to match, he wasn't the most inviting guy in the Vongola and that was how he always wanted it. The more he intimidated, the less trouble he would run into. And the less trouble he ran into meant the safer the others would be. Ever aloof, ever drifting he walked his own path and refused to be held back by anyone or bound to any organization.

And that all changed when Hibari met the quietest girl in the school. It seemed she was social at least with a few others, like Sasagawa's sister and Kurokawa at least of the girls at Namimori. The girl seemed to be closer with the boys, a set of boys he knew were trouble, Sasagawa Ryohei, Yamamoto Takeshi, Gokudera Hayato and one that got under his skin specifically, Sawada Tsunayoshi.

As much as the guys got on his nerves, Chrome didn't. She was calm and quiet and rather peaceful to be around. He noted her shyness complimented his silence and her company was often appreciated as he never got any trouble out of her. However this silence between them meant he honestly didn't know much about her except that her birthday was coming up soon and she seemed to like sweets as he often caught her snacking with the other girls sometimes when he'd take a walk in the evening.

He didn't know her favorite animal but some of the small cakes were decorated kind of cutely and one in particular stood out to him, a snow owl cupcake. He honestly wasn't certain where to find her, but he had a feeling if he looked for the other girls he'd find her. However when he did, his worst fear was confirmed. They mistook it as the two of them dating.

"Hahi! Chrome-chan has a boyfriend now!" He heard Haru exclaim.

"It's Hibari-san!" Kyoko added. He wanted to get on his motorcycle and run away as fast as he could. If he was her boyfriend, that meant he'd have to deal with Mukuro more often. For a split second it didn't actually sound that bad.

Hibari didn't want to interrupt her time with her friends and took out a slip of paper and a pen from his pocket and quickly scribbled his number down. "Call me when you're done, I have a surprise for you." And he turned red as he walked away and heard the words "love confession?!" Come out of Kyoko's mouth.

Was it love? Not quite. Yes he wanted to get to know her better, but that was all this was so far. And while Hibari let his thoughts consume him, Chrome climbed up to the roof of the school and sat down next to him silently hugging her knees to her chest and unconsciously snuggling closer to him without realizing.

"It is a nice view, isn't it, Hibari-san." She blushed and hid her face against her knees.

"Ah, it is." He wrapped an arm around her. "I just wanted someone to share it with."

It might have been a small confession, but it was at least the start of something for the both of them, where it went from here, only time could tell.

[queenharumiura]

Chrome: Gets in there with a baby that looks like Hayato, and then places it in his arms. "Something went wrong with the 10 years bazooka. That... is Gokudera-san. You take care of him. Bye." And she leaves.

[Unprompted ask] || @thehandworld

"Hahi? Wait- what-" Chrome was already gone. Looking at the little baby in her arms, she is perplexed. She loved kids, but... she didn't actually know how to care for a baby. From her understanding, the effects of a 10-year bazooka shouldn't last too long, so maybe she only had to look after this baby for a few hours at most... right?

"Well, what can Haru do? She'll just have to do her best to take care of this baby." Looking down at the bundle in her arms, she smiles a little bit. "He was really cute as a baby." At the very least, he looked healthy, so that was a plus, wasn't it? She pokes the baby's cheek and giggles, "How cute, and yet he grows up into a guy who would die if he doesn't start a fight with Haru every day." SIGH.

------

[BECAUSE I CAN]

"Hahi? Wait, Chro- she's gone already." Haru looks down at the baby in her arms and sighs. "Well, he's probably safer with me than with the others, that's for sure." She couldn't imagine Yamamoto, Hibari, or Mukuro do be any help in caring for a baby.

"How adorable..." she lightly pokes the tiny nose of the baby. She was looking over all the tiny features of the baby, marveling at how small he was. So fascinating to know that such a small little baby would grow up to be much taller than she is now. Haru was what you call a 'small bean.'

"This isn't going to last a while, is it?" It just sank in that she was put to the task of raising her husband for a while. That's... awkard.
