#danganronpa ramble

Hi!!

What is your opinion on servant/despair nagito?

AUGH! hello autism activating anon thank you from your ask!

Servant I think honestly is pretty well written and doesn't erase any of Nagito's character which I really love. Also he's in like the most bdsm outfit??? ever??? HUH?? it's kind of hilarious tbh.

Mostly, I really enjoy that as a Despair Nagito's beliefs aren't just erased. He's willing to do even more for hope than before, becoming despair himself, whereas before he seemed to have a limit he wouldn't cross. Which is honestly saying something since he thinks murder can be valid in the name of hope beforehand anyways.

I also like the funny detail that he's a servant with a chain on his neck at all times, but no one is really pulling the strings? Like, he's a "servant," to the warriors of hope but truly he has control over the situation. He chooses to stay there, if he truly desired to he could have left. His chain is there, he has the appearance of a servant, but no one is tugging on it, he's the one truly in control. Hopefully that makes sense lmao!!

I also thought that him seeing Komaru being a normal girl and knowing Makoto had hidden hope as a talent thinking she might have hope as well is pretty well written! It definitely makes sense why he'd think that.

Also, as weird as it is I actually really like how he looks as servant. The artwork for his sprites and the fanart I've seen is really awesome honestly!!

I used to think that he was just in Ultra Despair Girls for fan service, which probably a bit, but I do actually really enjoy how they use his role as a contributing antagonist properly. It's mostly expanding upon the idea of him as a Despair that we see in Chapter 0 of Danganronpa 2 with his love and hate obsession with Junko. He wants to be more involved than ever before and has no limit for how far he'll go, he actively will create the despair needed himself for hope to thrive. And that's so cool!!! It's basically pulling him and his beliefs their utmost extreme to explain how someone like him could become a despair, and the best part is that it makes sense! You can understand it given his character. He hates despair, so the only way he'd ever be okay with becoming despair is if it was in the name of hope, and that's exactly what they do!

I also think it's SO funny that out of all of the despairs, he's the most harmless out of them. Like, Sonia burned her own country to the GROUND, Teruteru ate his OWN MOTHER, but Nagito? He was just a servant to some weird terrorist kids, and ultimately was the main contributing factor to hope winning in the end. He brought Komaru so there could be a fair fight with Hope and Despair after all!

I think Mocaca's character after Ultra Despair Girls was kind of treated badly lmao, like, I feel like there was a lot of missed potential but they just threw her to the side because they never planned to do anything with her. However the Idea Nagito's ramblings just made her sick of the world is HILARIOUS though. Kind of Ironic that he saved her in hopes to be a successor to Junko for more hope to win in the end when his contributions led her to becoming nothing.

Also pretty Ironic that he KNEW what Izuru was going to do, and he wanted to see Junko again. But he never did, he died before he got to see what him as a Despair wanted to see. By his own hands nonetheless!!

Nagito as a Despair is really fucking weird with his outfit and all, but I actually really do love him. I really love the outfit, the approach they take to the only way he could become a despair with his beliefs, and his role in the story.

The brainwashing plot is a little clumsy, but I do enjoy that the way they treat brainwashing in the Danganronpa franchise is that the despair video manipulates your emotions. It doesn't overwrite anything, it just adds a desire to cause despair or excuses causing despair more. I think it's a little more realistic than just a whole bunch of teenagers being talked into becoming terrorists anyway.

servant you are iconic mwa <3

this was less of a danganronpa v3 redesign and more of a "drawing the drv3 characters in outfits i would actually enjoy drawing more than once" but it got completely out of hand

anyway - day three of trying to defeat artblock went great and [commissions are open] again <3

some thoughts on okazaki hanano

spoilers for ch3

already getting tired seeing people use this to be like "OKAZAKI IS EVIL AND CRAZY AND IS AN EVIL CRAZY EVIL SERIAL KILLER!!!!" so lets unpack a bit of the yume terminal

okazaki is the child of yonekura. i think a lot of people saw this one coming, but i wanna unpack it a bit further. the details are unclear, but for whatever reason, okazaki was born with a purpose and if she cant fulfill that purpose, shes useless to her mother. this much is made clear by yonekura saying that she would have rather just killed okazaki off and had a new baby as opposed to trying to make her useful. judging by the fact that whatever experiment kan was conducting on her seems to involve switching her blood type, something kan also did to seki, id say that maybe she was supposed to exist as spare organs and parts for yonekura? thats my best guess at the moment but we dont have a lot of information

so okazaki is conceived for the sole purpose of providing for yonekura, but comes out with the wrong blood type and cant provide. kan takes the initiative in insisting he can change her blood type and begins experimenting on her, killing at least one of his assistants in the process. we see that this is traumatizing for okazaki. shes scared when she sees dr. odawara die, knowing thats her fate. death is a constant presence in her life, because if they cant change her blood type, theyre going to kill her.

her mother describes kan as evil, and what does he say?

i suppose evil is your lovely daughter's salvation.

okazaki idolizes evil. she isnt an evil person, shes someone who views evil as the path that saved her life. if nobody had been willing to experiment on her and "fix" her, she would be dead. evil saved her. because of evil, she is alive. she EMBODIES evil because she owes her life to evil, and to dr. kan.

reducing her down to just being a tired old evil trope is completely neglectful of her character at large. she is a 17 year old. she is not evil. she idolizes evil and makes it a part of her, but she is not evil. does that mean its okay that she committed a double murder in the name of love and larp? no! but its ignorant to just label her as evil or crazy and move on. shes not evil and crazy. shes dedicating herself to the force that kept her alive

and also this trial was fucking awesome and so funny and i love her
