"Mahjong Ronpa" is now live in English!

The Riichi City/Danganronpa crossover event, officially titled "Mahjong Ronpa," is now live in the English/North American version of the Riichi City app.

There IS a playable storyline here — it's not just a matter of some crossover characters being thrown into the standard game. And this story is, frankly, pretty wild for DR fans.

We play as Naegi, naturally. After awakening in the bizarre new environment of the Riichi City game, he finds he's lost a lot of important memories. But... not the same ones he lost in DR1.

Because this crossover takes place AFTER the events of DR1, and events/terms herein keep trigging vague recognition in Makoto's mind.

Which means it's pretty goddamn wild that some, er, decidedly deceased characters from DR1 are present and alive here. But... it's ultimately not like crossover events are strictly canon, so we probably shouldn't think too much about it. It's just really fun to TRY and fit this into logical continuity.

I suppose we could always just take Monokuma's claims about them traveling across space-time at face value, though?

The short of this story is that because of how this city and its inhabitants are hyperfixated on Mahjong, Naegi is quickly forced to learn the game and enter a tournament if he wants to earn his way towards getting home and/or figuring out how he even got here. After the tournament's semi-finals, though, he falls unconscious. He then awakens in a mahjong parlor room alongside Kyoko Kirigiri, Celestia Ludenberg, and Riichi City character Kanade Kokura (a blonde with two pigtails who is a fashionista/model... HMMMMMM). Makoto's momentary relief at seeing familiar faces is short-lived, because Monokuma appears on a monitor and tells the quartet that they've already completed the final game of the tournament — they've simply lost those memories. If they ever want to leave this room, Monokuma says they need to investigate it and determine who earned 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th among them. Since everything in this city revolves around Mahjong, he wants to see the grand despair of the person who learns they already lost but can't remember how it happened. ......................... Okay? Seems a little small-time for you-know-who's usual plots, but whatever.

The gameplay loop of the event requires you to play the main Mahjong tournament games to earn Monocoins, use those to get gifts from the MonoMono Machine, and then gift those items to the four trapped characters in order to help them complete an investigation and unlock Truth Bullets. Each one lets you participate in a "Match Debate" to discuss and determine the results of the game you've all forgotten. There's plenty of original DR1 soundtrack music to keep you in the mood.

AAAAAND that's pretty much it! I'll probably post more about this stuff as I get farther and unlock more scenes. The event is running through July 30th, 2024. Good luck out there.

throwing it in: for some reason the entire final sequence with monokid being on the warriors of hope's side was super lovely to me, especially this bit

We legitimately do not talk enough about how Ultra Despair Girls made ghosts a canonical part of the DR universe.

Like. Hope's Peak gotta be haunted as FUCK.

okay so ghosts are now real in danganronpa. sure, why the fuck not at this point.

I've been thinking a lot about the youtube landscape of the drdt universe lately

[tobyisave]

I kept waiting for a CG like this to show up in chapter 3 and it never did so I had to take matters into my own hands

Imagine legendary detective Kyoko Kirigiri getting my gender identity completely wrong because I always been more comfortable around/related better to the opposite sex

I've... just been thinking about some of Chihiro's events with Mondo in the Ultimate Summer Camp game. Maybe I'll let them speak for themselves... 💜

An extra: talking with Kyoko who had been suspecting the truth:

[holybodega]

this really happened.
