SPOILERS FOR AMALGAMATE CHAPTER 20 BELOW ‼️ CW FOR MEDICAL/BODY HORROR AND BRIGHT COLORS
Please please please please, BEGGING AND WAILING read this fanfiction by DoctorHaifisch on Ao3, it's SOOOO GOOD !! 😭 Words cannot describe what did I just experienced while reading the whole thing but I can surely say that it made it to my favorite fic top.
First of I was just immediatly enthralled by how well Kokichi was characterized (I'm a simple woman, I see good Kokichi content, I click).
But then I quickly realised everyone else was super well written ? Even Kaito who's a character at the very beggining of my Danganronpa V3 journey I didn't really like at all because idk I guess I couldn't see clear through him and I would just label him as the hothead guy with a hero complex...
But omg with this fic you opened my eyes and unraveled something in my brain, even if it sounds dumb I think I never realised before the potential Kokichi/Kaito had together and the undeniable bound there must be between these two after what they experienced in the hangar in Chap. 5.
So just for that, thank you for making me appreciate and love Kaito where the game apparently couldn't and thank you for making me love Kokichi even more if that was even possible.
Now these two purple guys are very very dear to me and I want them and their classmates to have their happy ending after all they've endured 🥹
As for the art here, I had to redraw that beautiful art piece the author made for Chap. 20 because I'm a sucker for angsty stuff and also I was captured by how emotional and impactful it was displaying the sheer horror Kokichi experienced at some point of that chapter.
I'll definitively make more art for this fanfiction later, the only reason I've never done that before being that I didn't like how I drew Kaito but now I think I got a design I'm happy with, so be warned there will be content >:)

A tale as old as time: a brilliant chase between a sly phantom thief and a—hey wait a minute!
Phantom Thief!Shuichi Saihara and Detective!Kokichi Ouma for my fic, [He Lies in Spades].
Where in Shuichi is a daring yet methodical phantom thief/vigilante dead set on exposing the truth and Kokichi is the eccentric, genius detective hot on his tail!
(reuploaded because I realized that my PT!Saihara looked too similar to a few PT!Ouma's, my bad! New design has more of a detective trench coat vibe befitting of our retried private eye!)
#saiouma#oumasai#saiou#shuichi saihara#kokichi ouma#phantom thief!shuichi saihara#detective!kokichi ouma#spoilers#danganronpa v3#drv3 spoilers#drv3#Shuichi is a bit of a vigilante in this as well—though not the beat 'em up kind#trying to take down corrupt businesses through the act of theft and lies#give shuichi his chapter 6 confidence levels and he's literally unstoppable#buddy thinks hes slick#Kokichi is thrilled to track down a phantom thief#Since his thief doesn't like to leave a lot of clues behind Kokichi is going to have to think outside the box to catch his man#and maybe fall in love in the process??#Oh yeah Shuichi is also an ex-private investigator#We Love Ourselves a Turn Coat

She lunged at Kokichi with her bare hands, sending both of them to the ground with her tackle. They rolled on the concrete, writhing against one another as they fought like schoolyard children, punching and pulling and baring their teeth with the threat of biting, scraping up their elbows and knees. Finally, Maki managed to pin Kokichi down, a hand grasping his collar and using all of her weight to keep him restrained. The other hand raised above her head, and in her curled fist, a dagger formed, pitch black and full of malice. She snarled, bestial urges threatening to consume her entire being, weighing down on her hand and demanding blood to be spilled.
The Full Moon comes, and there's no stopping the storm that comes with it.

I made my own danganronpa TD au. Talents are comprised of commonly given talents or randomly generated ones. Also includes randomised danganronpa game roles
Alejandro - Ultimate Actor
Beth - Ultimate Lucky Student
Bridgette - Ultimate Surfer
Cody - Ultimate Game Designer
Courtney - Ultimate Camp Counsellor
DJ - Ultimate Cook
Duncan - Ultimate Escape Artist (He makes and escapes his own traps. Also escaped juvie a few times. If this was in the Danganronpa games, he would probably be called the Ultimate Escapologist but we're going with what the generator gave me)
Eva - Ultimate Wrestler
Ezekiel - Ultimate Hunter
Geoff - Ultimate Party Planner
Gwen - Ultimate Artist
Harold - Ultimate Stuntman
Heather - Ultimate Online Influencer (This AUs perfect example of don't meet your idols. Originally I planned for either Heather or Alejandro to be the Ultimate ?? but the genrator provided talents that I liked for them)
Izzy - Ultimate Explorer
Justin - Ultimate Model
Katie - Ultimate Medium (Since Sadie's talent was ghost hunting, I wated Katie to have a ghost or mystery related talent. Between Ultimate Detective and Ultimate Medium, Medium was generated first and got given to Katie)
Lindsay - Ultimate Cheerleader
LeShawna - Ultimate Dancer
Noah - Ultimate Detective (Probably would have ended up with a coding related talent if Katie instead got Ultimate Detective. If this AU had to have an Ultimate ??, it would Noah saying he doesn’t remember his talent.)
Owen - Ultimate Food Critic
Sadie – Ultimate Paranormal Investigator
Sierra - Ultimate Blogger (Her Refresh Blog mentions that she moderates wikis so I wouldn't be surprised if she owned a blog at some point)
Trent - Ultimate Guitarist
Tyler - Ultimate Athlete
Protagonist - Beth
Helper - Noah (I find the idea of Beth and Noah working together funny)
Antagonist - Trent (How tf Trent is going to be an antagonist without going into Action characterisation I have no clue)
Traitor - Sierra
Mastermind - Cody
#total drama#td gen 1#td danganronpa au#team escope could have a case like DRV3 chapter 3 were only one makes it out alive#this au would definitely be more than 6 chapters

I voted "I'm conflicted for reasons". I am not actually conflicted, none of the other options apply to me. I have a very open view of DRV3's narrative atm - which may still change, I think I'm going to have to replay it, again. but for now, both "Kokichi had a special talent/external memory" and "Kokichi wasn't special/knew nothing more than the others" ring equally true to me
basically, I think you could insert either of those explanations into a cohesive view of the events internal to DRV3's narrative and not break it because Kodaka and the dev team left so many things highly interpret-able by purposely casting doubt on them, ambiguous or blank. it's neat, my favorite thing about the game
if we were talking about my personal preference for an explanation. hmmmmm. I lean more towards the something-is-off-here explanations, because you can get creative with them and that's fun
*Note: this is not a comment about 'validity', it's about whether you personally believe there is such a thing that's been masked ('narrative construction/bias/framing' is a can of worms to address, so this is more about impressions of the idea, if that makes sense)
**If you answered this, go ahead and plug an AU for me!
I'll tag asks with #dr poll asks and #drv3
#I used my desire to vote validly and see the poll results as fuel to finish chapter 6#thanks I might have dragged it out for another week otherwise lol#drv3

Drawganronpa Days 18, 22, 27: Hope vs Despair, Chapter 6, DRV3
“We will not accept an ending without hope or despair. How dare Kiibo defy us? He is our surrogate! How troublesome. That’s why we voted to erase his personality. Now, we can have the ending we want… Hope or despair, which one will it be?”
“Kiibo is gone. Not a sliver of who he is left in these empty eyes; now, they are mere screens for the audience to project their thoughts and desires. The feeling brutally hits me; I miss Kiibo. I miss his kind smile, his over-the-top confidence, and even his sensitivity to robophobia. I’ll never get these moments back. I feel anger coursing through my veins. I won’t give the audience what they want. They’ve taken too much from us already. Thank you, Kiibo, for giving us this last chance to defeat them. I’ll never forget how much you truly cared about us.”

Dangancember 2024 - Danganronpa Top 24 Class Trials: Number 23 Danganronpa V3 Case 6
//Oh Jesus...
//Now, let me just make one thing clear with this one. I actually don't dislike V3's ending with a burning passion. I definitely don't LIKE like it, but after sitting on it for a while, some of the twists and events of the trial are...pretty good actually, and really show what Danganronpa V3 is all about.
//So I don't tend to agree with the lavish hate that this trial gets.
//HOWEVER, with all that being said, I DO agree that this is by far the worst ending in the entire franchise. And yes, that includes both the Another games, Ultra Despair Girls, AND DR3.
//Which...Actually, to their credit, despite having a very iffy runtime for me, all of those examples had actually pretty killer endings that I really enjoyed.
//But yeah, I mean...V3's final trial and the whole thing that happens in it is just so fucking infamous. And for all very valid reasons. So...without further ado, let's talk about it for the umpteenth time.
//In case I already didn't make it clear, describing Danganronpa V3's final trial and ending as "controversial" among its audience...honestly doesn't do the full scope of the situation justice.
//It's very hard to come by someone who has played V3 and is a fan of Danganronpa who probably doesn't have more mixed feelings about a single segment of a video game.
//And honestly, I'm not sure if I should talk about the good things, or the bad things first; because again, divisive implies that it kind of balances out.
//I think I'll focus on the stuff I don't like, because that's the main crux of the argument that explains this trial's placement.
//Something I've always noticed is that when you look at the ending trials for all three mainline Danganronpa games, you notice that all three of them suffer from very similar issues. Those issues being the ridiculousness of the events, the sheer length, and the fact that they are just incredibly blatant plot dumps that try to scramble every bit of the established lore together in one uncomfortable package. And the reason why DRV3 is the worst of the endings is because it does all three of these at MAXIMAM VELOCIPY.
//(I spelt that wrong on purpose by the way.)
//In the Danganronpa series, it has become widely recognized that the trials progressively increase in length with each installment. I kinda see this as a good thing, as it contributes to the franchise’s appeal, because longer trials mean more intricate mysteries, additional plot points, and unexpected twists.
//The final trial in Danganronpa V3, however, takes this idea to the extreme, likely in recognition of its status as the series' concluding chapter. It goes all out, lasting, at minimum, 4 to 5 hours.
//And unlike the ending trials of 1 and 2, that ridiculous length of time is filled up by basically random bullshit. Some sections are highly innovative, like the segments where players must intentionally fail certain minigames to progress as a means of rejecting hope in confrontations with Tsumugi. However, other parts can be frustrating, and just...packed with pointless dialogue.
//For example, the whole segment where they kind of bring up the fact that Kaede had a twin sister as a red herring? Pointless.
//I mean, I take advantage of that fact later, but generally why was this even a plot point to begin with? It's so weird, and nothing comes of it.
//There's also the strangely unfomfortable spike in difficulty, and the fact that fluctuates VERY often.
//The trial features a mix of straightforward puzzles and extremely challenging minigames, some of which rival the difficulty of Danganronpa 2’s notoriously tough (and ridiculously fucking stupid) "Improved Hangman’s Gambit." These difficulty spikes, combined with long stretches of dialogue between minigames,don't do anything for this trial other than cause a pacing imbalance.
//How about the actual culprits though? Well, they are equally as divisive.
//This is, unfortunately, the only moment in Danganronpa V3 where Monokuma gets to show himself off to be the same bad bitch bear he was in the original game, and the Monokubs don't stick around long enough to be an issue to him. And unlike the first two games, he sticks around for the entire trial.
//But then he's coupled...with Tsumugi...
//And all my homies HATE...TSUMUGI...
//Okay, to be fair, Tsumugi is one of the most fun characters to write for Survivor, but I feel the need to point out that a large part of her character arc is that it involves her desperately trying to take up the mantle of the Ultimate Despair, and be on the same level as a criminal and terrorist Mastermind as Junko.
//And the reason I even have leeway for this type of character building for her is because there isn't just room for character development and improvement with her. There's FAR TOO MUCH of it.
//Tsumugi isn't just the least compelling masterminds in the series, but one of the least compelling characters IN GENERAL. And even after she IS revealed to be the big bad, she somehow remains the incredibly blank and boring character that she was for most of V3's run time.
//Junko, Monaca, and even Nagito as something of a pseudo-Mastermind were all batshit crazy and demonic to the core, but it's important to point out that they all have REASONS driving their evil acts, as psychopathic and evil some of them were. But Tsumugi lacks any sort of personal motive, and relies on her role as an avatar for the audience’s desires. The general passivity compared to other masterminds makes her insanely underwhelming.
//Speaking of which, if I may be allowed to go on a bit of a tangent here; the way that Tsumugi is outed as the Mastermind is kind of controversial in and of itself for me.
//By which I mean it's discovered that what actually happened at the beginning of the game is that Kaede's trap to kill the mastermind failed to kill Rantaro. But because of the first blood perk that meant the students would all die if no one was murdered, it meant that time was running short, and in the heat of the moment, Tsumugi got a second shotput ball, killed Rantaro with it, and used her authority as the Mastermind to frame Kaede for the crime anyway.
//Which all feels like unnecessary bullshit if I'm being honest.
//Case 1 and the twist that Kaede was the actual killer was great; and her subsequent execution is one of the most emotionally impactful moments in V3, because it it sends her off as a tragic, morally gray protagonist who was willing to kill for the greater good. Hence the reason why she's my favourite character in the series.
//However, the revelation here retroactively strips her of agency, making her a victim of Tsumugi's manipulation rather than someone who took a flawed, bold step to save her friends.
//This twist also diminishes Kaede's character arc. Her determination and selflessness, even if her actions were misguided, is largely the reason why she manages to be such a spectacular character despite her short runtime. By revealing that she was framed, the story shifts her role from an active participant to a passive victim, which feels like a betrayal of her established personality and the unique premise of her narrative.
//Additionally, the reveal is poorly foreshadowed, and feels like a contrived attempt to shock the audience, and a desperate attempt to redeem Kaede, rather than a natural development. The explanation relies heavily on Tsumugi’s ability to perfectly execute a plan without leaving meaningful clues for the detectives, which feels inconsistent with the game's emphasis on logical deduction, and inconsistent with her being an absolute dumbass every other time, even AFTER her Mastermind reveal. As a result, the twist feels less like a clever subversion and more like an unfair rewrite of the story's emotional stakes.
//All in all, Tsumugi's character feels less developed than those who came before her, and it feels like the emphasis on her being a "cosplayer of fiction" was little more than a bad excuse to avoid giving her any type of depth or a unique personality.
//She's just plain. And she stays plain even when she's revealed to be the main villain.
//Also, this is a comment that's gonna get me smited by everybody, but fuck it, I refuse to hide how I truly feel: Keebo is equally as dogshit.
//Keebo is such a NOTHING character, and I don't understand why he has such a massive fanbase. This is supposed to be him at his best, and his whole point is that he's the one who has to stick it to Tsumugi, but he fails to do even that.
//There's a tiny segment of this trial where we get to play as Himiko and Maki, and a large segment where we get to play as Keebo, and BOTH are UTTERLY POINTLESS, even though they are kind of cool.
//Keebo's actions during this trial when you play as him are a clear homage and cliche to the series' origins, where he is constantly encouraging everyone that they should never give up since the game isn't over yet. But this is effortlessly shut down when Tsumugi abruptly informs him that she WROTE his character that way, and it's exactly what she wanted him to say, as well as the fact that he unknowingly served as the audiences eyes and ears for the game. Thus Keebo's one single moment to shine in this entire game is ultimately futile.
//What was the fucking point of even that?
//So between the dogshit gameplay, and the dogshit Mastermind behind everything, this case is already bad enough. But sad as it is to say, we have to talk about the elephant in the room. Something that I believe is always a make-or-break for the final trials, and that's the Ultimate plot twist that it entails. Usually a big reveal of some sort.
Game 1: The world outside the academy has been basically destroyed.
Game 2: Jabberwock Island is a virtual simulation, and the students in Class 77 are the brainwashed Ultimate Despair terrorists who aided Junko in the Tragedy. Hajime is also Izuru Kamukura, a talentless boy who was experimented on by Hope's Peak Academy against his knowledge.
Another 1: Similar to Game 2. Yuki is revealed to be the true Mastermind behind the Killing Game, and his real identity is Utsuro, the boy with the power of Divine Luck that reshapes reality in his favor.
Another 2: Sora isn't real, is actually an AI based on Akane Taira, is the one who really has the Divine Luck Mikado seeks, and she is left behind as the virtual world is erased.
//I'm not gonna dance about it any longer than I have to, we all know the twist of V3, and we all know it's kind of bullshit.
//The case reveals that the events of Danganronpa V3 are part of a fictional reality show within the game’s universe. The students' lives and personalities were fabricated, their memories manipulated, and the killing game broadcasted for entertainment.
//V3 is actually the 53rd entry of the Danganronpa franchise, with the V in V3 actually being the roman numeral for 5. And Tsumugi directly references the previous Danganronpa games, framing them as part of the same fictional reality show franchise.
//This retroactively positions Danganronpa V3 as a reboot rather than a continuation, suggesting that the events of earlier games may not matter either.
//And the final trial frequently breaks the fourth wall, addressing the player directly and critiquing their role as consumers of violent, despair-filled entertainment. Tsumugi frames the killing game as something the audience demands, effectively blaming players for perpetuating the cycle.
//So yeah...
//EVERYTHING here just SUCKS!
//In the Meta sense, I will say that the twist is interesting, kind of humerous to an extent, and shouldn't be taken seriously in any sort of degree. Not to mention, to a certain extent, it's innovative and quite thought-provoking, as it rightfully critiques fan obsession with sensationalized entertainment.
//But it's done in a way that, in the attempt to portray their games audience, makes me wonder if Danganronpa understands its audience at all.
//The way it's handled here is a betrayal of the narrative, dismissing the emotional weight of the characters' struggles and reducing them to fictional constructs.
//If you're someone, like me, who is/was deeply invested in the original cast and continuity, this just feels insulting. It's like the series we love has been seemingly reduced to a meaningless cycle of fabricated tragedies. Some even see it as an attempt to erase the legacy of Danganronpa's 1 and 2, and it generally makes V3 feel disconnected from the rest of the series.
//I think what upsets me the most is that Tsumugi's claim that the game is made "for the fans, by the fans," is done as a way to make the player complicit in the killing game, suggesting that their desire for entertainment is what perpetuates the franchise’s cycles of despair.
//In other words, this game is basically telling you that you are a terrible person for playing and enjoying it. And I don't vibe with that AT ALL.
//This meta-narrative comes across as kind of self-indulgent and dismissive, overshadowing the characters and plot in favor of philosophical commentary. And not even the good kind.
//But this is why I specifically use words like "controversial" and "divisive" to describe this twist. The events of V3 single-handedly created a divide in the fanbase, with some appreciating the meta-commentary and others feeling disrespected.
//But besides the twist itself, what makes me personally lean towards the latter side of the argument is that all these twists, turns, and concepts are brought up, and despite the trial almost physically forcing the ideas into your throat, what baffles me is how strangely and concerningly ambiguous everything remains by the end of it.
//When you think about it, there are no grounds upon which Tsumugi makes her claims, so everything she says and states in this trial is questionable at best, and a blatant lie at worst. Shuichi even makes note of this at the very end of the game.
//It’s unclear whether the events of Danganronpa V3 were "real" in the context of the game world or entirely fictional within its universe, which many at this point in time have accepted as its own alternate timeline; hence why I make it so in Danganronpa Survivor. This ambiguity extends to whether the surviving characters have truly escaped the cycle of the killing game or are trapped in another layer of fiction.
//The surviving characters (Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko) are left in an uncertain state. Their escape from the game is metaphorical rather than literal, and their identities, forged through fabricated memories, remain unresolved.
//It's up for debate whether this can be called clever storytelling or unnecessarily confusing bullshit. For some, it feels like a cop-out that avoids resolving the story definitively, while others appreciate the open-ended nature, which allows for personal interpretation.
//The lack of clear rules or boundaries for what is real made the ending feel nonsensical or overly convoluted, and it's hard to get invested in a story that defies traditional narrative logic in this way. Even for something like Danganronpa.
//The ambiguity about the trio's futures and identities felt hollow, and that's why a lot of people want more closure.
//Speaking of which, yet another huge issue with this trial is something that V3 shares with 3. Despite the fact that the purpose of the game is to tie the knot on the franchise, there is SUCH a lack of CLOSURE, for FUCKS SAKE!
//Ultimately, it doesn't matter at all whether we can say that V3 was truly real, or fictional. It doesn't matter, because either way, people still want a satisfying conclusion for the characters they’ve followed, but V3 provides NONE of that. The ending’s open-ended nature, while probably done with good intent, makes it difficult to discern any definitive meaning or takeaway from the story.
//So god tell me, what did I just waste four hours of my life on!?
//Trial 6 of V3 is the worst ending in the series because it is generally a waste of time, spends so long trying to meticulously explain a very stupidly handled twist, and ultimately has NO CONCLUSION.
//Which is why it's so low, and yet, it still manages to avoid not only the honorable mentions, but the bottom spot (although it's really fucking close, trust me.)
//My opinion of this trial is overly negative, and it's not one I enjoy revisiting in any sense, but there are things about it I like.
//For starters, the characterization. I kind of already rambled on about this before when I went on that tangent about Tsumugi being a stupid as fuck villain.
//But while Tsumugi is incredibly poor...SHUICHI is BRILLIANT!
//I like all the Danganronpa protagonists about the same, and though I generally prefer Kaede, I ADORE Shuichi too, and THIS is why. He is EASILY the best-developed protagonist in the main series, and the way that growth that happens throughout all of V3 culminates here is near FLAWLESS.
//He's been through so much pain for this whole game, and it crushes him tenfold when he finds out what little enjoyment and fulfillment he DID have wasn't even reality, and just part of a fictional series. That, and the fact that people will never empathize with him, because in their eyes, he's just a character behind a screen.
//But he goes on to assert himself as a protagonist and chooses to challenge the killing game’s rules. His defiance is a moment of growth festered in him by the emotionally REAL relationships he had with Kaede and Kaito, showing that he can stand up for his beliefs, even in the face of overwhelming odds. His journey from self-doubt to confidence is deeply satisfying, well-handled, and emotional for fans who connected with his struggles. His choice to reject both hope and despair in favor of forging his own path is empowering, just as much, if not more, than even Hajime's from Game 2.
//There were a few characters, namely Kaede, Kaito, and Kokichi, who did massive gambits in an attempt to break the killing game and ruin it, but they all failed. It feels good to know that Shuichi was the one who succeeded.
//Despite its kind of unholy subversion, the trial also acts as a tribute to the Danganronpa series and how far it's come, incorporating callbacks, references, and homages to earlier games; most notably when Tsumugi transforms herself into characters from the series before this.
//It's not quite closure, but it's the closest we get.
//As far as the twist goes, while I generally think it was handled poorly, the idea behind it comes from a very important place. The meta-narrative of this trial turns the game into a commentary on the nature of fiction and the role of creators, characters, and audiences. It’s a fresh and daring approach that sets this game apart from its predecessors, making it memorable and thought-provoking in regards to people's relationship with the series and the medium of storytelling as a whole.
//And while I generally dislike the open-ended conclusion, it does invite the idea of interpretation, allowing players to draw their own meanings and decide what is real within the story.
//I mean, I did that. You're reading that very blog now.
//The worst part about this trial for me is the fact that it feels like the twist is designed to attack the hardcore fans; something that I can't really forgive. But the way the trial critiques fandom culture, exploring the implications of endlessly consuming horrible concepts for entertainment, is kind of a valid statement to make at the current state of the world. It asks the audience to consider their role in perpetuating the killing games and questions the morality of reveling in such dark content.
//I just wish it had done so more kindly.
//But yeah, overall while I do appreciate V3's final trial for its boldness and willingness to subvert expectations, I generally dislike it for its perceived disrespect to the series' characters, themes, and fanbase. Case 6 is somehow both a brilliant deconstruction of the series’ tropes and a reflection on the nature of storytelling, fandom, and media consumption, as well as a betrayal of the series’ core themes. The ending’s ambiguity, meta-commentary, and radical deconstruction of the franchise leave it as one of the most polarizing conclusions in gaming history, and I doubt there are many that come close.

**Backstory**
✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩
Fictional:
Ness joined the local boxing club when she was 10 to "let her anger out". At 13, she beat one of the strongest boxers out there, and no ones beat her since. She became an ultimate.
Real / Pre-Game:
At around age 15-18, she wasn't very fond of Danganronpa. She found it almost ridicilous, watching people "kill" eachother over and over. Her family, on the other hand, had encouraged her to join since she WAS quite strong and they had thought it was fake killing.
"C'mon, Nessi!! I know you can win us a LOT of money!! It's not like anyone would ACTUALLY kill, right?"
✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩
In-Game:
Everything stays the same until chapter 6. Instead of chapter 6 being "The End", it's the trial to Himiko's death.
After chapter 5, everyone was obviously FUCKED. Given the circumstances, she was slowly going crazy (and so was everyone else). Being stuck in a "academy", forced to kill your friends tends to fuck people up.
Basically, she ended up *ahem* KILLING Himiko without even thinking. She had thought she could just lie her way through the trial and escape, leaving the others behind. Selfish, huh? Well, that's Nessi for ya!! Anyways, i still havent thought of how she killed her, but obviously Shuichi figured it out and....
....IIITTSSS PUNISHMEENTT TIMEEE!!!
I will make a few drawings of her execution, because it is BRUTAL.
Basically, she's tied up Gonta-style and is repedately punched, kicked and what-not by boxing machines (get it haha cuz shes a boxer 🤓☝️).
Then, her like stomach pops and stomach acid basically ruins her organs - I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS REALISTIC BUT ITS FICTION SO EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TWT
Uhh so her whole body gets fucked up and she dies XD
Then chapter 7 is basically chapter 6 just without Himiko and yeaaah thats it :)
✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩
Silly drawing of her:
