I finally decided to make a tier list and add minor explanations. My explanations aren't meant to hurt or offend of any of the fans of these characters, this is just something i wanted to do for fun.

Tier-ly ranked in no particular order we have.....

I don't like Junko as a general villian in the series. I watched my sister play THH around 2016 and had not absorbed anything Danganronpa before then and still I saw her being the mastermind since Muruko died. The devs made her way to likable;e to make her feel like a threatening villain.

On a whole I'm not a fan of Danganronpa 2 and that is mainly because I think it had the weakest cast in the entire series despite have some of the best trail's and motives. The onlt reason I like Usami is because of my favorite Tumblr, @brainfilehasstoppedworking and Fuyuhiko is because he gives my Takemichi vibes.

Hajime, to me, is the worst protag, I just find him so fucking boring. The other 3 at least have something that I find interesting. For him it's just 'Oh he's also the antag'. Nagito is funny at times but his bastardry in UDG makes me avidly dislike him. And I just find Mikan to be really annoying. I find obsessive characters annoying and creepy because of past events. Toko is a meer exception because I find her funny in UDG and i can sympathise with her and her past.

Its a bit obvious Tsumugi had wasted potential and the Monokubs will never not be annoying.

UGD is my favorite game of the franchise and probably my favorite game overall. UDG gave us Takaaki Ishimaru and Takemichi Yukimaru I love every charecter except for Monaca because she annoys me and for her treatment of the other WoH, especially Nagisa and Kotoko.

I don't like game Haiji. However I absolutely adore my write of Haiji where he doesn't like kids (I found that part of his character really unnecessary and it felt it was only added to make Haiji seem worse than Monaca and to make her seem more sympathetic.)

Trying to figure out the DRDT chapter 2 murder method, with evidence! (Theory)

CW: Murder, mentions of suicide, hanging, general brutality.

So, I’ve noticed a lot of people have given their predictions for the second case murderer, the motives and all that. This is obviously what most people care about, and I love reading predictions for it!

However, I am not most people. I also am really curious about the exact murder method.

You see, DRDT has consumed my brain mercilessly, and thus I have decided I can’t wait for the hiatus to end, and want to see if I can figure out the murder mystery with the clues we have. As a warning, this doesn’t actually help much with the culprit, but I will give my thoughts on that at the end.

I think a decent job! It’s not perfect, and I’m fully expecting to get a lot if not most of this wrong. I will be happy regardless of whether I’m right or wrong, so what matters is that I had fun thinking about it! Right? :D

This took me hours.

Spoilers up until Chapter 2 ep 11, and… further? Maybe? It’s just a prediction, but with evidence, so, you decide if you wanna read it.

Where we left off

The cliffhanger currently consuming me, as you may recall, happened just after David started his Tumblr sexyman arc, with Charles cutting in with just a fantastic line (“You’re out of your element!”). He says that, while trying to prove David’s innocence, he realized something bigger, before proclaiming he and Teruko fucked up.

As many have pointed out, Charles cuts in when David mentions the time of death, meaning he’s likely realized something about that.

What Charles has probably noticed is that the note Arei received never mentioned if she was supposed to go to the playground at 7:30 PM, as the characters had assumed because of the fish and the nighttime rule for the Relaxation Room, or AM. The fish could have easily been kept in the water jugs found outside in a trash can, so it’s pretty feasible that the murder actually happened at 7:30 AM. Unfortunately, Nico, the only one keeping track of the fish, likely fed them before David went there, and thus before 7:30 PM, so we can’t tell for sure when they were taken.

(This is because Nico mentions they fed the fish after dinner, and they likely ate before David. Whit mentions having a ‘late dinner’ when he and the gang meet with Suspenders Man in the kitchen and send him to the fish, David even mentioning he wasn’t expecting anyone else to be there. Assuming Nico ate dinner with most of the class, they would have eaten before David went to the Relaxation Room, which we know was around 7:30 PM)

However, if Charles is only bringing the possibility up now, it’s likely the right answer. Also, as you’re gonna see, the murder method I believe was used requires quite a bit of setup that would have been easier to do at nighttime, without potential witnesses showing up out of nowhere.

Now, this is where I’ve seen most people stop. Content with knowing what the cliffhanger itself is about, they don’t think further into the murder method. But I will, because my life is extremely empty.

Let’s get to the evidence!

“Truth Bullets” (let’s pretend)

-First, the layout of the scene.

(Ultimate Artist coming through-)

The exact position of things doesn’t matter, but it helps to visualize. The seesaw, to the dismay of Korekiyo stans, is unimportant and can be disregarded. Here are the takeaways:

•The ground near the entrance is scuffed. This heavily implies something went down in the playground, and we probably aren’t dealing with a crime scene switch.

•The fish, you should be acquainted with.

•The spinny thing will be important.

•Not pictured is a sand pit without sand. This isn’t important, but I do find it funny.

•Then, the swing set. I’d like to point out that the rope attached on one end to Arei has nothing on the other end, and rather remains there via a knot at the top of the swing set. This is important because of:

-Broken Neck: Arei’s neck is broken, alongside:

-Veronika’s Account: Although a hanging can cause someone’s neck to break, it wouldn’t happen to Arei if she were to be hung from that height. She would either need to weigh more, or fall from higher. Because the rope Arei’s corpse hangs from is tied with a knot, it can’t extend further than what we see, meaning she was likely hung from somewhere else (if that’s even her cause of death).

-Bound Wrists: Arei’s wrists were bound with duct tape at some point.

-Duct Tape on Spinny Thing: There is duct tape covering every handlebar the spinny thing has.

-Longer Rope: There was a longer piece of rope bundled up below the spinny thing. Teruko claims it’s a couple yards long. I don’t use that unit of measurement, but it sounds like it’s large.

-Flickering Lights: According to MonoTV, one of the lights in the playground was flickering. The way he acts when inquired implies this had something to do with the murder.

Going away from the playground now, we have the trash can.

-The note: You know this one.

-Eating utensils, food, painting tools. Unimportant.

-Water Jugs: Likely where the fish were kept overnight. Notably, the handles are snapped in the middle.

-Needle and thread?: I’ve seen some people mention there’s a needle with a bit of black thread that none of the characters address when dealing with the trash. Personally, I think this isn’t going to be important, but I do have a place for it if it ends up coming up. That is:

-Ball of clothes: Charles takes this from the dress-up room. It’s apparently held together with starch (not an adhesive, just sticky, but sure), though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually created with the needle and thread. Again, I don’t think it’s important, but you can choose to believe it was used here if you want. It’ll make sense later.

-The gym. I’ll be honest, this is the one thing I don’t know how to fit in. During the investigation, Teruko makes memory to how the gym looked before and after the Nico incident. I’m not great at Spot the Difference, but for the life of me the only thing I could see change was the missing fan and the missing ‘grippy thing’ on the pull-up bar. I don’t know how that would fit with the mystery, so I’ll be glad if anyone can figure something out.

-The motives: Not important for the method, obviously important for other reasons.

So, with the evidence laid out, what can we figure out?

Theory Time

When I said I spent hours thinking about this, I mostly meant running through several theories at once, trying to see which one made the most sense. I went to some weird places: from a crime of passion disguised as a suicide, to drowning her in the Relaxation Room, to somehow getting from the Movie Screening Room to the Playground (MonoTV had mentioned punching through the wall would get you there), to Arei herself being the one originally trying to murder…

But in the end, it was simpler. There are three important facts which help narrow down the options.

-Arei’s neck was broken. This eliminates simpler killing methods such as strangulation. Something happened which broke her neck, yet:

-Her wrists were bound. A broken neck is instant death, but Arei’s bound wrists imply the killer feared she would struggle. This eliminates a crime of passion. This thing was premeditated.

-The murder happened in the playground. The scuffed floor, broken light, duct tape on spinny thing and the other rope all make it clear. There’s no crime scene switching here. This eliminates stuff like the drowning in the Relaxation Room I mentioned.

All of this makes me believe that Arei was hung from somewhere in the playground, likely after the killer bound her wrists to stop her from struggling. The scuffed ground serves as evidence of an initial struggle. It doesn’t quite look like that, but frankly I just don’t know what could have caused the exact shape in the ground, so a struggle it is.

However, how? If Arei’s neck broke from her hanging, as per Veronika’s Account, she would need to be hung from somewhere else first, in a way that she either weighed more or fell from higher. Now, at first, you might assume that she had to be simply hung from higher, since it’s impossible to make Arei weigh more than she does. But what if I told you, there is a way to achieve that?

Enter: the water jugs.

I don’t know about you, but the way those handles are broken looks to me like they were snapped too cleanly for human hands. It almost looks… like someone tied a knot around them, then exerted a bunch of force on the rope.

(WARNING: Geometric depiction of a hanging a bit below)

We know for a fact there are at least two pieces of rope: one longer, one shorter. It would be possible to tie the two ends of the shorter one around the handles of the water jugs, then tie the middle around Arei. Water’s pretty heavy, so the extra pull of the water jugs would exert an additional force to her body once she stopped falling, one which could serve as one of the reasons her neck broke.

…Now’s probably a good time to mention, I have no idea why the killer did half the shit they did. I cannot explain to you why they would do this with water jugs. I’m just telling you how my brain’s interpreting this evidence.

However, this doesn’t exactly solve the height problem. You still can’t hang Arei from the swing set directly, as the jugs would hit the ground. It’s still necessary to hang her from higher up, although thankfully it’s easy to see where that would happen.

Yeah, the railings of the playground. The problem, naturally, is how to get there. Or rather, how to get the rope there.

Well, here’s a question. How would you do something like that if it was lower down, but still unreachable? One answer is to try to throw the rope over the railing, so that one end stays near you, and the other, on the other side of the railing. Of course, that’s impossible with a rope of this length and a railing of this height, but the concept can still be used in conjunction with something else. Thinking about the other pieces of evidence we have, there is one that stands out as particularly strange, doesn’t it?

Exactly. The ball of clothes. Because throwing a ball, especially one as light as this one would be, is much easier than throwing a rope, you can set up the hanging spot by tying one end of the rope to the ball, and throwing that over the railing.

You might think it’s still too far up, but think of it like this. How far can you throw a basketball straight up? Probably enough to clear two floors, at least given enough attempts. The ball of clothes would have more drag, yes, but it would be lighter. Keep in mind the killer had all night to get this right, and they could have even climbed on the swing set if they needed a bit more height. It’d be awkward, but possible.

There is one more piece of evidence that makes me think this is the case. That is, the flickering lights.

The lights weren’t broken, but they did get fucked up. This is by far the clue which gave me the most trouble when thinking about this, since it just seemed so impossible to achieve. However, this ‘ball of clothes’ theory gives us a solid answer. On the way up, the ball of clothes may have hit the lights:

This wouldn’t break the light, but it could displace it, causing it to flicker… or something like that. I’m sorta banking on J giving a proper explanation with her pre-established expertise, since I’m no electrical engineer. However, I see no other way this could have happened, so it’s the answer I’m giving for now.

So now we have the long rope on both ends, all that’s left is actually pulling Arei up. Except, that’s still quite complicated, isn’t it? Already pulling her up would take quite a bit of strength, but the main problem is the ‘going down’ part.

For Arei’s neck to break, she needs to enter free fall, then abruptly stop halfway. That would mean you need to stop the rope from moving on the way down, but how? Just using your hands is impossible, because you’d get burnt.

Enter: spinny thing.

The duct tape tipped me off that this thing was important, and once the use of rope is factored in, my first instinct was to use it for a sort of pulley system.

Weave the rope through a few of the handlebars, then tie a knot around one of them. That way, if you make the thing spin, it will drag the rope with it, sort of like a roll of film in reverse.

Then, once Arei reaches an appropriate height, you spin the thing the other way, letting her fall at full speed for a bit. When you want to stop her, you would just need to stop the carousel from spinning, which may take a bit of strength, but it’s perfectly doable.

Now, this explains how the murder could have been done, but where does the duct tape come into play?

…

Yeah, good question. My best answer is that the rope somehow burnt a friction mark into the spinny thing, which the killer feared would give away their trick. After all, even if the duct tape is more noticeable, it’s harder to make a connection between that and the murder than a friction burn, which while harder to notice, would point more directly to the pulley idea.

Yeah, it’s not a great answer, and it’s frankly the part which still puzzles me the most, but it’s an answer, so I’m going with it for now. Open to change, though.

Notably, this is also the part of the crime where I feel the gym may come into play. Again, I have no idea what the relevance is, but if it has something to do with this crime and not just the Ace - Nico incident, perhaps the grippy strap of the pull up bar was somehow used to better grip the spinny thing’s handlebars for the pulley trick? Again, this is one piece of evidence where I could use the help.

And so, we’re done! Practically all of the important evidence was used, and I can’t find any contradictions in the reasoning!

Closing Argument

The killer first put water from the Relaxation Room, fish and all, in some water jugs before nighttime.

At nighttime, they stuck together Teruko’s and Hu’s old clothes with either starch or the black string. Going to the playground, they tied a long rope they got from storage around the ball of clothes. They repeatedly threw it up, until they managed to get the rope over one of the railings in the playground. However, on the way up, the ball of clothes hit a light and displaced it, causing it to flicker. MonoTV would later remove this light.

After that, they tied one of the ends of the rope to one of the carousel’s handlebars, possibly looping it around some of the other handlebars to make sure it would work as a pulley. The killer left the water jugs in the room, first tying a shorter piece of rope around their handles, and took the ball of clothes back to the dressing room.

After that, the killer wrote a note. They had overheard the Eden-Arturo-Arei situation, and used that to lure Arei out to the playground at 7:30 AM. She potentially arrived just before the killer, based on the scuffed ground being a bit far from the door, but the killer got there just a moment after, before Arei could understand the situation.

The killer overpowered Arei, scuffing the ground near the seesaw in the process. They eventually bound her wrists together, and wrapped the middle of the rope attached to the water jugs to Arei’s lower body. Possibly around her waist, as to prevent rope burn injuries from giving the trick away.

After that, they tied the unused end of the longer rope around Arei’s neck, and moved to the spinny thing. Using the grippy strap they got from the gym (maybe), they grabbed one of the handlebars and spun the spinny thing so that the rope was pulled in and around its handlebars. This also had the effect of pulling Arei up towards the ceiling.

Once Arei was high enough, the killer quickly spun the carousel the opposite way, then abruptly stopped it just a few moments later. This caused Arei to free fall shortly, before suddenly stopping. The force of that stopping broke both Arei’s neck and the handles of the water jugs. Arei died here, if she hadn’t already asphyxiated beforehand.

All that was left for the killer to do was cleanup. Retrieve the longer rope and hide it under the spinny thing; set up Arei’s body to look vaguely like a suicide; empty the water jugs on the ground; throw them away, alongside the duct tape and the note. The killer’s trick had also left marks on the carousel, which they decided to cover up with duct tape. Finally, the killer reconvened with everyone at around 8 AM for the motive announcement.

And with that, all questions are answered. Well, except for:

What the fuck

Like, why would the killer do this? It’s so unnecessary cruel, when they could have just hung her. I was honestly worried, as I thought about the method, that the killer would end up being Veronika, just because it’s so fucked I genuinely can’t see anyone else doing this. But Veronika doesn’t have a motive to do this: she’s talked about wanting to enjoy the trials for as long as possible, and it’s been set up if she murders, it would be of boredom. Doing that before a motive announcement which would make things interesting doesn’t fit her at all. Or maybe I’m coping.

The answer to the question of why the killer chose this method is only part of a larger question, though. So, knowing the method, how does that change the final question?

Who did it?

EDIT: DISCLAIMER: The following part of this blog is outdated. Go here to read a revised version of the method, with a different culprit. It's a reblog of thebadjoe's reblog of this post, as they pointed out a lot of flaws in my original theory (adult content warning for Arei's corpse). I'm leaving the rest of my original post up, but just know I now believe the killer to be Eden, with an accomplice.

Let me start by saying that I can’t definitively say anything about anyone, even knowing the murder method. However, this *does* paint some of the theories in a different light.

Smaller theories

I’ve seen a few people suggest everyone from Charles to J or even Arturo. A lot of these theories are decent, but some rely too much on certain assumptions which may or may not be disproven if this method is accurate.

Charles is ruled out. The murder required moving the corpse around postmortem, and while there wasn’t any blood around, Charles’ necrophobia would make it impossible for him.

A theory I saw was that J may have used her remote to open secret trapdoors and move around rooms, taking advantage of the placement of the playground in relation to the Movie Screening Room. However, while that theory is interesting, the murder is perfectly possible without these trapdoors, so the main argument kinda goes out the window. Although I guess it’s possible her remote could be used to make the carousel go spin, but that’s kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

Arturo was ruled out from the beginning because the handwriting in the note is too pretty to be a doctor’s. That’s a joke, and Arturo would actually be quite capable of the crime. In fact, he’s sort of become my second most likely culprit, even if he was accused early in the trial.

Hu / David manipulation, in shambles

A popular theory states that the killer was manipulated by David to do the deed. The most common victim of this manipulation theory seems to be Hu Jing. However, in my opinion, the sheer brutality of the method pretty much rules this out. David may be a good enough manipulator to get somehow to kill Arei, but I really doubt he’d be able to convince them to do… all this.

Especially since he has no reason to order the specific method, which would imply it was born from the killer’s own mind. So, even if David actually told them to kill Arei, they decided to use this insanely elaborate method all on their own. And, listen, I don’t care how you feel about Hu, she wouldn’t do this.

Is it still possible? Sure, I guess. Does it look a lot weaker under this method? Absolutely.

The surprisingly strong Whit/Eden allegations

I didn’t make this theory considering these two the killer, I really didn’t. I still don’t think they are. And yet, they are the only ones who could benefit from this method. How? The BDA.

You see that loophole, right? I noticed the moment I saw the rule. The way it’s written seems to imply the BDA only plays when three ‘spotless’ see the body, ruling them out as the murderer. Except, that’s not how it’s worded. It doesn’t say ‘three non-murderers’, it says ‘three people who didn’t witness the murder’.

So, pray tell, what happens if the culprit has their back to the victim when they die? Simple; they didn’t witness the murder, so their eyes count for the BDA.

How does this help? Well, imagine if Teruko had been the one to kill Arei. By making a contraption where she can be sure Arei dies instantly upon something happening (in this case, abruptly stopping the spin of the carousel), she can make sure her back is turned the moment Arei dies. Of course, the moment she turns around, the count for the BDA goes up to one, but it doesn’t trigger, since you need three.

Then, when Teruko ‘discovers’ the body alongside Eden and Whit, the BDA plays; one person (Teruko) had already ‘discovered the body’, so Eden and Whit seeing it would increase the BDA count by two. That makes three, BDA plays.

And yet, during the trial, if the murder method hasn’t been found out, Teruko could claim she isn’t the murderer because of the trickily worded BDA rule.

Now, we obviously know Teruko didn’t do it, but Eden and especially Whit are common theories. This could be used as evidence, except…

There’s a pretty obvious problem there. It’s not them, but Teruko who asks to team up in a group of three for the BDA, and it’s also her who suggests going to the second floor. Then, the playground is the last place they check, and Whit even questions Teruko when she suggests going there (the infamous ‘hanging out there’ line).

I wouldn’t rule out Teruko’s bad luck making her pick the absolute worst possible partner possible, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that neither Eden nor Whit were proactive in the search method, which goes against this potential ‘BDA alibi’ plan.

As for the rest of the theories, I don’t quite believe them. Yes, Whit definitely has more issues than he lets on, but he has no motive to do this (remember; he asked an entire group of people to reveal his secret if they had it, so the only reason his secret lasted until the trial was Rose throwing it away). Eden even less so.

And in the end, it really is the motives which points us to what I believe to be the killer.

Yeah, it’s Levi

As does what I believe is most of the fandom by this point, I think Levi is probably the killer.

Many have already theorized about the remaining motives, so I’ll spare you the ordeal and tell you: Just with the information all the characters have access to, it’s possible to narrow down Levi’s secret to ‘murdered someone’, ‘poisoned competition’ and ‘dead family’ (I know the last one’s Xander’s, but the characters don’t really have access to the Bonus Episode).

However, Eden can eliminate the ‘dead family’ one, as Levi has talked about his family with her, and they’re not dead (He also mentioned having brothers in the present tense during the trial, but just in case).

Min’s Bonus Episode makes it likely her secret is the ‘poison competition’ one, though how the characters are gonna figure that one out is beyond me. The point is, Levi’s secret is the ‘murdered someone’ one, the one Arei had. And, listen, in-game logic aside, you don’t just give that secret to the victim of the case and then have it mean nothing for the murder.

Other suspicious behavior has been noted, such as him wanting to start voting time quickly when David did his thing, him quickly checking the motives when they became public (keep in mind, as some characters mentioned, it’s possible the killer thought just killing someone before the motive reveal would be enough to prevent it), etc. Also possible foreshadowing such as Ace claiming Levi could ‘snap [his] neck with his bare hands’ and Levi promising to protect Eden in the trial, which is exactly what Arei did before dying.

However, something I feel people overlook is that not only did Arei get Levi’s secret, but it was also Levi who got Arei’s secret. A secret which, keep in mind, wasn’t public knowledge until the trial, when Levi finally revealed it. Sure, David and Teruko knew, maybe Eden at best, but other than that, only Levi knew of that secret.

And this is where the murder method may come in. I’m still unsure. Because the only reason I can find for this amount of elaborate planning and brutality, beyond the BDA thing which I mentioned likely isn’t important, is the killer having a deep grudge against Arei.

Levi is a guy who cares about his family. Sure, he was disowned, but he claims it was good, because he and his family were ‘bad influences on each other’. He seems like he genuinely wants the best for his brothers, it just so happened that the best thing was going their separate ways.

So, how do you think he feels when he learns that Arei, someone who had already insulted and belittled him, calling him a pushover and stuff, did horrible things to her sisters? If he doesn’t have the full picture, it’s not impossible to see how that may make him angry at her, especially with his already established anger issues.

Not to mention, keep in mind the setup for the crime was done one night after the Nico - Ace incident, one which ends with Levi grumbling ‘why do I even bother?’ as he locks himself in his room. This could imply a complete loss of faith in the group in general, which could lead to him deciding to kill.

Of course, that theory has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Levi’s outbursts of anger don’t really last long enough for it to explain such a long and elaborate murder scheme. Not to mention, if he really did react negatively to the motive, he’d have done it the moment he received it, not several days later. He has murdered without remorse before, if his secret is to be believed, but until we get the specifics, we can’t know for sure how okay he’d be doing something like this.

However, the important question Levi as the culprit answers isn’t the ‘why?’, but the ‘how?’.

I’ve sorta glossed over it until now, but it would take quite a bit of strength to stop the spinny thing in the trick. I don’t think Levi’s the only one capable of it, but he’s certainly the most capable, if that makes sense. Not to mention, actually overpowering Arei in the first place wouldn’t exactly be easy. Plus, the ball of clothes being involved implicates him in a meta-sense, as it could technically count as his talent being involved in the murder.

The problem, of course, is that I have no definitive evidence. His custom weapon, brass knuckles, wasn’t involved at all, and there’s no way to place him at any of the important scenes. No one has an alibi for nighttime, no one has an alibi for 7:30 AM, and pretty much no one has an alibi for the Eden - Arturo - Arei incident (afternoon of the day of Nico’s attempted murder, when for now we only know Hu, David, Nico and Teruko where talking in the Relaxation Room. Though of course, the exact time is impossible to know).

I suspect he’s going to be suspected for the motive and the strength thing, and either someone will come up with something incriminating, or he’ll make a slip-up a la Mondo. I have no idea.

So… what did we learn?

Kinda nothing. As you can see, the murder method doesn’t really point to a killer in any definitive way, so we’re just back where we started, basically. But hey! It was fun! I guess.

Now, back to crying over the hiatus. See you!

[snellyfish]

Why is Angie your favourite character?

This is really funny I just got off call with Glownary and was talking about how much I don't miss Danganronpa discourse. Anyway I hope someone finds a way to get mad at me in this post!

((Admittedly I'd probably actually place Korekiyo above her because he ACTUALLY has a relevant and specified canon story,,, but, y'kno))

Plain and simple, she just has a handful of design and character tropes I super adore in characters! As a base, I'm usually not super into,,, well-adjusted, well-liked , reasonable, and rational characters. LMAO. They're fine but I live for exaggeration. I LOVE when they're little freaks and not watered down at all for the viewers sake/comfort, I love when they (both the writers and the written) just keep twisting the knife for no good reason other than the bit despite how unconventional it may be.

One could argue that her not being watered down and being as shitty to the other players as she is is a trauma response, or just a mentally ill person being mentally ill. It can be neat to think of her that way sometimes! It's of my opinion that almost all Danganronpa characters are super open-ended lore/personality-wise and we as fans are just making up canon as we go because it's FUCKING FUN, and, as such, all the ways that Angie can be interpreted is very interesting to me-- EVEN if that's seen as "the irredeemable annoying religion-force-feeding zealot antagonist." Which is, of course, an objectively awful way to view anyone REGARDLESS of media illiteracy, but, you know! I like weird freaks so this "flaw" they see is simply more food for me. Yippee!!

Whether I think she's canonically A) genuinely malicious and sadistic, B) traumatized from an abusive religious sect, C) honestly caring about the other players, and/or D) none/all of the above? I'll never tell! Oops all bangers!

Tropes I enjoy, whether or not I found myself enjoying them BECAUSE of Angie herself;;

Religion, especially if it's horrifying and...bad! (Most of my own characters deal heavily with religion and religious trauma, I think it's cool to play with, whether or not it's a fantasy religion like I think Angie's is)

CULTS! Cult behavior! Let's live in a commune!! (GUYS I LOVE MIDSOMMAR)

Dark skin / light hair contrast color combo goes hard!!!

+ The pansexual flag palette is literally my favorite color combo ever!!!!

Manipulative little shits!!!!!

Small scary women!!!!!!

Islander stuff, it's very nostalgic to me and I just have a deep love and appreciation for the beach and ocean!!!!!!!

Piercings!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cutesy sunshine character who could and would stab you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IDK HOW THIS WASN'T MY FIRST POINT!!!!!!!!!!

AND SHE'S JUST FUCKING SILLY!!!!!!!! SHE'S GENUINELY SO FUNNY AND CUTE ESPECIALLY IN HER INTERACTIONS WITH SHUICHI!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was an IMMEDIATE favorite when I played V3 and when I found out that, like, everyone fucking HATED her and she's probably the least liked character in the entire class by the fans, my brain immediately went the contrarian route to find reasons to like her even MORE. I tend to do this a lot, but when it's a character I already enjoy, it's even worse, dude.

ummmmm obligatory Shinnaga mention sorry but I frequently tend to appreciate a character a lot more based on potential dynamics alone. Ships, romantic or not, have legitimately gotten me to enjoy characters I hated before, based on interesting interactions unique to them alone. So while Kiyo and Angie's (they're making out btw) ingame dynamic and dialogues aren't REALLY what my sick and twisted mind views them as, it's worth noting that my honest belief and interpretation of the two of them could even give me a sliver of that dynamic being possible .......... means she's fuckin slay ............ it means love wins..... It means Vote For Yonaga 2024

[ultimateplaylistmaker]

the danganronpa cast if they got into a fight: https://imgur.com/a/danganronpa-characters-if-they-got-fight-with-you-OLNYAF8

I agree with most of it HOWEVER

Yuta, Masaru, and Fuyuhiko would win, Yuta and Masaru because they're jocks, and Fuyuhiko would just pull a knife because he's yakuza

Toko could win if she switches, so id move her to "who fucking knows" because it could go either way and honestly I feel like she'd fight dirty she is going for the hair

Kaito says he would win and then falls flat on his face, it's very funny, there is no universe where kaito doesnt say he wins

I think Ibuki could win, she bites, so could komaru as another jock and Jataro might win because that boy does have a chisel and he's willing to use it but also I think he wouldn't want to fight back because of his....all that so he might actually be a loses on purpose

Gonta would NOT say he'd lose, he's done enough fighting in his past to know full well how strong he is, but he would not fight you, he is in didnt fight but would beat you

I also think Korekiyo would not say he'd lose, but he also doesnt care enough to fight, he's observing the other fights so he's also didnt fight would've beat you

Whether or not you could beat Kiibo depends on where in his character growth he is because like...he's actually not hard to beat? he's weak as shit and he has a button on the back of his neck that just turns him off. If it's endgame no ahoge kiibo he wins but any other kiibo? I think i could do it.

I also do not trust Mukuro to not fight, like, i dont think she'd go all out, but i do think she'd pin my arm immediately in a really painful position until i give up and i think that counts

Ishimaru would also not like, actually fight me, but he does give me detention for trying to start a fight so really, i lose either way

I also tend to put komaeda in wildcard zones for the crime of being komaeda, i mean im going to probably lose, but it really depends on if komaeda ends up losing worse then me

[ohwell-itsme-but-danganronpa]

The Catpeople Laboratory AU (full v3 cast, saiouma)

First shared in The Saiouma Pit discord server, parts said by others start with their names

Hina: So who started this project?

Dra: I wanna make a haha funny and say Tsumugi but

returntozero: No way Togami Corp was interested in monopolizing the Catboy/girl/Nyan trade

ofc they're experimenting on prisoners first [replying to Ryoma being suggested as the first person the experiment is tried on]

idk, maybe that's too dark for a silly idea, but like, Togami corp fucking with genetics? that's not going to be very moral anyway

so yeah, exploiting prison labor

what if Kokichi was in the batch of the first testing with Ryoma? Like, he was a notorious thief, pissed off some people he shouldn't and cops framed him for murder to give him the sentence those people wanted him to get and that's how he ended up in the same situation

because the project only takes people off death-row at the time, in later testing, when those seem to be successful they'll be maybe hiring people for more testing and there has to be a control group that lives alongside them in the same conditions without getting modified, right?

for comparison, seeing what's because of the environment and what's because of the modifications, Shuichi could be in that group

unless you want them all to get modified, then I guess the control group can be strangers that don't interact with them, it's fun if it's all 16 of them, but also catboy x human…

Dra: How do they all get involved lmao

some of them are criminals (first phase), some of them are there for the money and some for the experiment's sake (second phase)

Iruma signed herself and Akamatsu up, because she wants to fund some project of her own

Korekiyo is probably in the criminal group

Angie could be any of those

Himiko wants to be a catgirl, Tenko wants to be catgirls with Himiko (that ship doesn't sail in my world, but canonically, the one-sided thing has to be there at least for a bit at the start, eventually tho, Tenko needs to meet someone who will be able to match her energy AND tell her she's got to be more normal, my choice for that is either Maki or Kaede. I do not think Himiko has interest in romance, but that's my hc, no hate, just how I see things)

Kiibo wanted to be included, they let him wear cat ears and hang out with the participants of the experiment

Kaito is in the group that just wants money (he needs it for that astronaut education)

Tsumugi is there for the experiment's sake, she believes it'll make the world a better place, actually, she's the one that convinced Gonta to join, he wants to help too

Maki must have been in the criminal group too, cause no way in hell she would choose it

Kirumi must have some ulterior motives, maybe she had to disappear because the rumor of teenage Prime Minister got a bit too loud, maybe she fucked up somehow, somewhere, but a new & low-profile identity will do her good or maybe she's here because the government is invested in the project, but why would it be?

Rantaro actually personally knows Togami, since they're both rich boys, but since Togamis have flexible moral spines they have access to some resources he wouldn't even know of. So, having something of a frenemy-like relationship, Amami asks him for help searching for his sisters and he's like "okay, but do this very stupid thing to entertain me in exchange"

lastly, Shuichi is there, because he can't let a mystery go and he has a fucking gut feeling that Kokichi was framed. unjust sentence? not on his watch (so yeah, he tries to get close to Kokichi to learn his side of the story. and they're cats)

Dra: What do you think they'd need cat people for?

High demand = good business. The end product is selling the modifier to the people, so the masses can become catpeople Or selling the cats as exotic pets/ worse if you want it to be darker

[kkatastrophic]

V3-3 Trial

erm so about my theory with the katana being the same one from thh, here's evidence.

Jajajjajaja 1-1

--- The Start:

Things I said during the psyche Taxi gameplay:

"Hitting babes with my car hell yeah"

"Shuichi wants them hot babes"

"Just hit the Culprit with your car shuichi"

"Why am I following road rules, I can go 200km/h (*proceeds to hit a car*)

"Honk honk outta my way the bitch machine is coming through!"

Also, wouldn't it be cool if shuichi picked up the remaining survivors instead of random babes.

Like how cool would that be!

The Middle ---

KOREKIYO IS GOING INSANE? HE DID IT? WHAT THE FUQ-

Korekiyo in 4K ---

"BUT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE, WAS THERE SHUICHI" oh goddam my respect for the character and the VA goes up, why DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT THIS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BRO???

Alot of people HATE this trial, but I actually enjoy it! I like it better than majority of the THH trials tbh, but maybe I'm biased? I have alot of respect for Himiko (not being killed off as soon as she gets development, GREAT VOICE ACTING FROM HER OMG) and Kaito (YES KING, LOVE YOU HELPING HIMIKO OUT!!!) and Korekiyo! (I know you killed them both, but goddam my respect for you is high rn, great acting, nice plan!)

Wait he highkey sounds like a more chilled version of Light Yagami "N-no... I'm not the culprit!" I hear it bro I hear it and I think I'm insane for it...

NO I CAN HEAR THE PAIN IN HIS VOICE, THE CRACKING THE WAY THE VA IS BREACHING HIS LIMIT HERE, EVERY TIME HER TALKS AUGHHHH! (Maybe I'm glazing idk, but goddam bro this guy is sick.)

And he still keeps his "Kehehees" in place. Nice.

3rd trial syndrome---

APOLOGISE?? WHY IS HE TWEAKING BRO??? IS ANGIES DEMON POSESSING HIM BECAUSE THE SEANCE WENT WRONG?! IS THIS THE CURSE BRO WAS SPEAKING OF???

AND OH MY GOD WHEN HE GETS CAUGHT... HIS SCREAM... OH MY GOSH CHILLS, LITERAL CHILLS, THE TALENT! I LOVE KOREKIYO FOR THIS BRO HE'S FULL OF SURPRISES!

CUTIES!

ANGIE AND TENKO AND HIMIKO AND SHUICHI ALL LOOK SO CUTE IN THE COMIC STYLE AHH!

Angie didn't even know what he was planning.. :/

THE END FINALLY AUGH! ---

Spinning Kaede is so funny

"My regret... my only regret... is not being able to make 100 friends."<- Komi-San???

--- Conclusion:

I GOT AN A

A FORRRR ATE!!! DEVOURED! SLAYED! SERVED! LEFT NOOOO CRUMBS AT ALL!!!

--- Motive:

(Talking to Kaito) "If you dislike scary things, then you should've said so earlier. I thought you were sic-" oh... Maki the cutoff... OH MY GOD KAITO'S SICK ISN'T HE???

He's coughing....?

WHAT?! HE'S COUGHING BLOOD?! WHAT??? KAITO BB?! HE HASN'T GONE TO SPACE!HE'S DYING. KAITO. KAITO DON'T DIE HERE PLEASE OHMIGOD-

--- FINALLY!

We finished chapter 3! IMO the trials just keep getting better, AUGHHHH TENKO BB I MISS YOU.-

Yeah that's all.

[ephemeral-darkness]

hi!!!! my beloved mutual what korekiyo ships do you like if any?

please go full brainrot mode i would love to hear it

Hihi Hello!!!!

>:)

So Amaguji has my soul as always. Just there is so much to explore (not totally because Rantaro has like an hour screentime and I can make shit up at all) and I love them together. Silly little green boys!!! I think they would travel together and read books and just generally be happy in each other's company. They are also just so fun to write (a not so shameless plug of my fics)!!! I think Rantaro's relaxed demeanour with a fucked up sense of humour would intrigue Kiyo a lot. Also I should state that it doesn't even have to be romantic, I just love seeing those two together!!!

(If any of that made sense???)

Gontaguji as a QPR!! My boyfriend suggested this one a while back and hooo boy did I fall into a rabbithole. (Well, a rabbithole in my mind because I haven't found any fics?) I think they would gel because of their interests!! Even if Kiyo talked about eating bugs a separate 3 times, I think he holds a deep respect for them (after all, they are intertwined with human culture in many many instances.) I also think Gonta would like hearing these stories because they involve his interests too. Not only that, but I think they would so comfortably share each other's space- after a while, they would just truly understand each other.

(Optional adding in Ryoma for the chaos because I have seen so much Kiyo/Ryoma/Gonta art and its always so funny. Kiyo and Ryoma deserve their antidepressant [Gonta])

OH!!! I also like the idea of him and Kirumi being friends. (I'm veering from ship territory now but shh let me have my Brotps XD) They are so similar in their interests of the Victorian era (albeit different reasons) so I think they would mainly just infodump at each other when they are more comfortable. Ofc Kiyo would do that at the drop of a hat but I think it would take Kirumi a little longer to drop her façade of complete calm and just go apeshit about her interests. Also in my non-despair AU, they both frequent their local goth club so they have that too.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Shinsai (love this, obligatory), Shinouma (ship-in-law, really fun dynamic, and quite fun to write)

[danganronpa-ship-tourney]

I know you're not the person who thinks this but how does someone think Rantaro was ‘uncomfortable’ when he was pretty happy painting Kaede`s nails?

I DONT KNOW maybe its in the japanese version??

I genuinely rewatched the scene, here's how it goes in the english version with a few bits of non related dialogue cut out to save space

Actually watching the scene, Rantaro and Kaede both have a really fun time, the MOST you could say is him being like "cmon i dont have a girlfriend" when someone brings up the thought of it which is like really light normal friendly teasing? Kaede doesn't even come on to him at all, internally shes a bit flustered, but she doesnt really bring it up. The only person here having a bad time is Tsumugi. Personally I love the idea that this is the true reason she killed them both, I think that theory is very funny.

I've been so goddamn baffled about it for AGES, its just a straight up lie! Like, other people have gotten things wrong before, but its usually smaller stuff like mistaking fanon for canon or misremembering some more minor stuff, people really liked to assign traits to Korekiyo that he definitely does not have for some reason. This one though... this one just just left me goddamn confused as all hell, I cannot stop thinking about it, why would you send in how much a scene that you very much made up in your mind to this? how am i supposed to use that??? did you get this information second hand submitter??? Who are you?! Did you lie on purpose?! For what end?!

I don't want to be like rude so I keep rewriting this stuff, but I am genuinely, so fucking baffled

"Rantaro is extremely uncomfortable with Kaede's advances during the nail painting scene and repeatedly asks her to stop saying stuff like that"

Are they talking about him being like "no I don't have a gf" because the FIRST time that happened that was tsumugi, and he just brushed it off both times. What advances?! Am I just too aro/ace to see it?! The only person here having a bad time is Tsumugi! How am I supposed to use this as propaganda?!

[umiyeah]

I'm, like, a decade late on this discourse but I'm currently playing DRV3 for the first time and one of the most ironic things that caught my eye was the third trial conclusion.

Spoiler alert and content warning.

So, the whole thing with Korekiyo is that he had an incestuous relationship with his older sister right?

Isn't it just so ironical that the Ultimate Anthropologyst would have that sort of backstory?

I mean, I'm just a dumb psychologyst, but I did take anthropology classes in college and from what I remember there was this quirky little fella called CLAUDE LÉVI-STRAUSS who simply started sctructuralism and dedicated a good sum of his studies on the Incest Taboo as a rule in every given society.

This is so fucked up it's almost funny. It's like giving the Ultimate Psychoanalyst the backstory that they had some huge mommy issues or the Ultimate Behaviourist that they abuse animals for the sake of their experiments

Anyway, nerd moment over. I hope this was intentional, if not, it's just the most insane coincidence ever lol

[despairs-memorial]

Otp, Notp, and one night stand with for Sonia, Gundham, Mondo, and Sayaka

I'm going to be shooting some bit of canon in the foot with this, but who give a shit.

Gundham

OTP: Sondam is my beloved. It's a straight ship, sure, but autism^2 is such a good premise for a ship. Like, even without that being a key selling feature, they both care about animals so much, and they're both so alienated from people around them that they're perfect together in my mind. With that said though, Gundham and Hajime, very specifically @/dead-or-lie's Hajime, are quickly becoming a close second for me when they were already a strong second, lol. The polycule we're working on is my OT4, and I'm excited to develop it more.

NoTP: Him and Nekomaru. I'm sorry, but I don't like killer x victim ships, or rather I don't like most of them, but specifically Nekomaru, I don't think they even like each other. I think they respect each other, though. Idk, I think their platonic dynamic is WAY more interesting than their romantic ship is.

One night stand: Kazuichi. I do ship them because Soudam is just a different flavor of Ishimondo in my eyes, but ya know, I don't have as much attachment to this ship yet, sorry.

Mondo

OTP: I think it's well known how much of an Ishimondo fan I am, lol. Before I orphaned that Ao3 account I had 35 fics that were almost solely Ishimondo fics with very few exceptions. They are the OTP for me, and I adore them immensely. A close second though is Owamiki, and that's because their dynamic is just the cutest to me.

NoTP: Naemondo. I don't violently oppose it like I do Naeishi, but I'm still angry that Makoto called Mondo cold hearted for what he did but let Togami and Celeste off without a comment like that. Idk, I just think Naegi only goes for girls and twinks. He's too weak to handle a hunk.

One night stand: Junko? Oowashima is a ship that I love platonically as a counterpart to my aesthetic Ishikuro ship, but idk, I guess a quick one thing would be all right between them.

Sayaka

OTP: I don't really have one OTP for her, but I do have a lot of people who I adore shipping her with, most of them women. @/dead-or-lie's Mikan with Sayaka, though, is my favorite ship with her, though, followed by @/91cmspoliers' Izuru and @/aikidoheroine's Tenko.

NoTP: Naezono. I'm sorry, but even if I didn't dislike Naegi, I would dislike the ship. To me, it just feels like a ship where one character is never going to fundamentally accept the other is not who they seem to be and only look at it on a surface level which bothers me in a weird way.

One night stand: Uh... Ibuki? I don't really ship them, but I don't not ship them, you know? I just never really thought about it seriously.

Sonia

OTP: See Gundham because other than the switching the Hajime part for Reese's Mikan then it's just the same paragraph.

NoTP: Canon!Sounia is a ship I don't like. Sorry, but canon Kazuichi with Sonia is just really creepy to me, and I don't like the ship. I do like seeing people on here explore it more, but in canon, absolutely not.

One night stand: Is it wrong to say either Korekiyo or Syo? Idk, I think those are the types that she would go after, and the fact that Korekiyo and Sonia both canonically have fucked just makes it a little funny in my eyes.

[hyperfixationtimego]

idk if you're still answering asks but you're the top blog in the shinguuji tag. ship opinions? What are your favorites?

:0 AYO???? that’s wild dude fuck yeah

and euehuehuehuehueheu oh buddy. i’m literally the most annoying person in the world when it comes to ships, thank you for asking ❤️

Ships I Like:

• Shinouma (Kokichi x Korekiyo) - holds these guys up to you and swings them around like pathetic little ferrets. the idea of them together is so funny and sweet to me. like - the struggle for dominance between them would be SO real…… Kokichi constantly bugs him ‘cause he wants Kiyo’s attention…….Kiyo tells him stories, and Kokichi pretends not to be interested, but really he’s sitting there listening to every word like 👁️👁️…… Ugh okay just THINK of all the possibilities for smarmy little quips and back-and-forth dialogue between them!!!!! they’d be INSUFFERABLE AND I ADORE THEM IMMENSELY!!!!

• Momoguji (Kaito x Korekiyo) - 👉👈 what if I put my two favorite v3 characters into a ship and then never shut up about it forever and ever and ever??? no listen to me they’re so good. Kaito initially overlooks him because he’s more drawn to classmates like Kaede, Shuichi, & Maki, but once he gets to know him a little more…….GOD. Kiyo saying one (1) thing that makes the alarm bells in Kaito’s head go off and the astronaut is straight up just “WELP. TIME TO ADOPT ANOTHER EMO.” and then he does <3 Kaito wanting to save him……Kiyo not realizing he needs to be saved, but secretly wanting it anyway…….oh they make me absolutely INSANE. and also just - the idea of Kiyo wanting to take away Kaito’s pain, too. Kaito is so selfless and loves people with his whole heart, and Kiyo just wishes he could be half as kind as Kaito is………plus there’s the idea of kiyo already being accustomed to loving (or, well, “loving”) someone with terminal illness which can make for some VERY good angst potential and trauma re-triggering ehehehe

• Kiyoumota (Kokichi x Korekiyo x Kaito) - LISTEN TO MEEEE they’re great on their own but TOGETHER????? oh I am SO WEAK!!!!!! the love the love the love - the complication of it all, the everpresent conflict and comfort from both sides, a constant quarreling from a place of softness and adoration and vulnerability!!!!! it is a PERFECT BALANCE, I tell you!!! Korekiyo mediates arguments between Kokichi and Kaito so that they don’t accidentally go too far (insert auspistice joke here I guess. ….sorry), Kaito uplifts Kokichi’s & Kiyo’s spirits by making them both see how wanted they are and how much he loves them, how strong they both really are……and Kokichi is the grounding force, the one that keeps the bad thoughts from spiraling and going too far, the one who will distract, who doesn’t mind making his lovers upset with him so long as it means he can take away the pain and numb it for a little while. oh anon, when I tell you I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them!!!!!!!!!

• Korekuwata (Korekiyo x Leon) - ……I don’t have an excuse this is just me being insufferable sorry. I love these two because I am insane and they’re both my favorite little guys. I can see them sorta trauma bonding and just becoming such important people in the other one’s life because like……opposites attract kinda deal, y’know? like. Leon is so passionate, so fiery - but still sweet, still helpful; would want to make his presence known if there was something he could help resolve. And Kiyo is so thoughtful and can push his own emotions aside to rationalize the possible outcomes of a situation, can calm someone down if he cares for them enough…….listen I just think they’d enjoy each other’s company and everyone around them would just kinda be like “hey what the fuck”

• Korekiyo x Nagito - UM!!!!!! hi I’m insane. they read books together and love it when the other one rambles or infodumps to them <3 they’re both astounded that the other one can have such a negative self-image because all they can see is someone truly beautiful, someone brimming with hope, someone worthy of so much more love than they could ever ever give!!! they are kissing and making out sloppy style and conducting social experiments on their peers thank u for coming to my ted talk

• Korekiyo x Byakuya - these two are just. kissing with tongue I think. like. Korekiyo badgers him with anthropological questions and moral quandaries and Byakuya just. [grabs him by the collar] “stop being so pretty before I bring hell down upon you so help me GOD.” and Kiyo just thinks it’s funny and finds it flattering. like ough listen Kiyo would want to study him soooooo bad. and Byakuya would find him tolerable, because at least he’s well-read and understands the concept of personal space JSVSNDNDN and. just. they both repress themselves so much that I think at some point it just boils over and they end up sticking their tongues down each other’s throats.

• Fujiguji (Chihiro x Korekiyo) - genderweird couple my beloved ❤️

• Ryoma x Korekiyo - something something lonely people something something outcasts of society finding solace with one another (also. korekiyo has cat vibes. tell me I’m wrong I DARE you. Ryoma would get to know his stupid ass and be like “ohhhh I get it now. goddamn it. son of a bitch.” and has to resist the urge to pet him whenever he’s given any sort of height advantage or anything teehee)

• Kazukiyo (Kazuichi x Korekiyo) - I took part in one (1) danganronpa roleplay server and this relationship ended up budding…….i was not normal about it then and I am still not normal about it now <3

Ships I’m Neutral Towards:

• Shinsai (Korekiyo x Shuichi) - eh. just not my thing, I think. plus, I have other ships for both of them that I heavily prefer, which might be a factor in why it’s so ‘meh’ for me.

• Korekiibo (Korekiyo x Kiibo) - I find myself wanting to like this ship more than I actually do tbh?? like. I feel like there’s so much potential here. but tbh I have a bit of a difficult time connecting with Kiibo as a character anyway, so maybe that’s why it’s not a huge pull for me?

• Tanakiyo (Gundham x Korekiyo) - ok. this one’s growing on me I think. the little art that this ship has is absolutely BANGER. I think it’s just difficult for me to picture a scenario in which they’d actually like………interact with one another or develop feelings. then again……..kiyo wanting to study the strange and silly occult dude who speaks in riddles and tells everyone he’s from hell………👀

• Gontaguuji (Gonta x Korekiyo) - I used to be obsessed with these two actually <3 not super sure why I’m not as into it anymore? Guessing my tastes have just changed :p

Ships I Hate/Dislike:

• Kirukiyo (Kirumi x Korekiyo) - conflicts with my personal headcanons for the characters; just not my thing.

• Amaguji (Rantaro x Korekiyo) - hooooo boy I can already tell I’m gonna get a lot of flak for this one. it makes me ridiculously uncomfortable. The only two interactions that come to mind when I think of these two in-game is the one where Rantaro tells Kaede that Kiyo “isn’t that bad” once you get to know him a bit, which is fine, and then also the……….*shudders* UTDP interaction between them. y’know, the one where they talk about their sisters together 💀 I just find it reallllyyyyyy sus and I do not like the idea of rantaro’s relationship with his sisters being compared in any way, shape, or form to the literal incestuous rape and grooming that is Kiyo’s shitshow of a backstory.

• Shinnaga (Angie x Korekiyo) - another cold ass take I know, but. they literally do not even like each other as friends in-game. Kiyo’s smart enough to know what she’s up to, and Angie’s smart enough to be able to recognize that from a mile away - he wants to study her, but she knows it would be dangerous for her credibility, so she refuses to allow him to worship with her for the sake of research. She intentionally closes herself off from him and becomes guarded, wary - it’s not this cutesy, hanging-off-his-arm-and-annoying-him type relationship that fanon seems to have built up out of nowhere for them; they legitimately regard one another as a threat. Also, I’m just not a huge fan of killer/victim ships in the first place?? Like, yeah, I’ve got a few exceptions, but. these two are on the same level as Leosaya and Bandaid for me (which is to say, absolutely despised).

• Genocide Jill x Korekiyo - I mean. Do I really have to spell it out?? These are probably the two characters with the worst writing of the entire franchise, deliberately portraying marginalized groups as serial killers, and yet some people apparently????? ship them together??????? and make them a fucking serial killer tagteam power couple???????? literally fuck OFF I cannot trust ANYONE who can enjoy this ship with the canon characterizations

• Sister x Korekiyo - this isn’t even a ship it’s just incestuous grooming and abuse. like listen - it’s great to write fucked up content and all, but if you’re portraying them as being in a healthy, loving relationship and you don’t want to acknowledge the ugly reality of it then I truly do hate you with every fiber of my being and, once again, cannot trust you at all.

Edens Garden Discussion

I watched Project Eden’s Garden sooo here are my thoughts on the characters.

Damon- Kinda reminds me of Byakuya, design and personality-wise. It’s refreshing to have a protag that isn’t a total pushover. I think he’ll be a survivor.

Eva- With a talent like Ultimate Liar. I think it’s amusing how drastically different of a character she is to someone like Kokichi. Whose whole gimmick was lying. I also like her design, I think she’ll die right before the end. Ch.5 killer.

Wolfgang- One of my three faves so far. I like how he’s usually a normal guy but once he steps into the trial room, he’s a total savage. I think he’ll be an interesting rival for Damon. Rivals are known for dying right before the end. Sooo maybe Ch.5 victim?

Grace- Gonna be real. Didn’t really like her that much. All she did was act angry and insult ppl. And not in a funny way either. I think she’ll eventually snap and kill somebody. Probably sooner rather than later. So I think she’s gonna be the Chapter 1 killer.

Toshiko- I don’t think there’s ever been an actual kid in the killing games before. Characters like Hiyoko and Ryoma were just really short. By default I think she has to be a survivor. I can’t see her killing anyone and I don’t think anyone in the cast is fucked up enough to kill a kid.

Eloise- She seems alright I guess. Don’t have much to say on her. I think she’ll be a victim. Ch.2 victim.

Desmond- Yooo I peep the dreads. Is he black? He has an English sounding name so I just assumed so. I think it’s amusing how his personality is chill and laid-back but his talent involves him handling guns. Might be a killer? Maybe like a Ch.2 killer.

Jean- Pirate Guy. Quick fun fact when I was planning a fanganronpa myself last year, I had an Ultimate Pirate Guy on the list. But I ended up scrapping it. Jean seems cool. I know it’s obvious for the buff guy to die in Ch.4 but I think it would suit him. Ch.4 killer. 

Ulysses- Seems kinda plain. Maybe it’s because I get Korekiyo vibes from him. But I think he’s gonna snap in Ch.3 and be a killer. Prediction: Ch.3 killer

Kai- Made it to the 2nd of my 3 faves. I think he’ll be a good comedic relief character. Within 20 seconds of meeting him this loser just starts crying lol. Lowkey I think he might be the mastermind. Like imagine he just hosted a whole killing game for social media clout. That’d be funny. 

Diana- Token nice girl. I think she’ll die early. Ch.1 victim.

Jett- The 3rd of my 3 faves. A funny goofy guy. Admittedly it took me a moment to remember what drag racing is. I thought he was just cosplaying as a power ranger.  Seemed oddly insightful with his extreme haunt knowledge. I hope I’m wrong but I think he’s gonna die for Mark’s development. Maybe like a Ch.3 victim.

Mark- Meh. I feel like the shy guy with bad self esteem issues has been done enough in danganronpa. With Jett dying in Ch.3, Mark will come out of his shell and probably be a survivor. 

Cassidy- Meh. I thought she was a bit extra. However I do think it’s nice that she donates to charity. And her hatred of rich people could lead to an interesting rivalry with Wenona. Ch.3 victim methinks.

Wenona- 3 Mehs in a row. As of right now she’s just the mean rich girl but she might get some development later on. So keep in mind my opinions may change. I don’t see her as a victim or a killer soooo survivor.

Ingrid- Ending off this discussion with a meh. I guess it’s cool to see another buff girl but her personality was lacking. Prediction: Ch.4 victim 

Excited to see what comes next.

Korekiyo for the ask game!

favorite thing about them: Definitely his appearance and talent, I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to him as my out of the gate favorite character I'm a SUCKER for androgynous morally dubious vaguely horror themed nerd. I could listen to him talk about ancient murder rituals for HOURS

least favorite thing about them: Honestly I wish he got to do his own creepy rituals a lot more. Like the seance was super cool but I feel like with so many rituals at his disposal they could have pushed the horror magic angle more with him. Make a good dichotomy with Himiko now that I'm thinking about it, the red mage vs the necromancer. Especially since ghosts are in fact canon to Danganronpa role because UDG was a weird game. Also the fact he was the reason they introduced "if two people die only the first blackened counts" rule and they NEVER did anything with it was SUCH A WASTE.

favorite line: "Kehehe...what wonderful strength. You could likely crush a child's skull with ease." (Why the fuck did he say this what is wrong with him but also it's such a funny line Kork no)

brOTP: I like him and Gonta as friends, you cannot tell me an anthropologist would NOT be fascinated by a wild child like Gonta.

OTP: Shinnaga, Angie and Korekiyo were SUCH a fun pair!

nOTP: Him and Himiko I guess? I can't think of any popular ship he's in that I don't like.

random headcanon: THIS MAN HAS A FURSONA YOU C A N N O T TELL ME OTHERWISE AND IT'S A NEKOMATA

unpopular opinion: He's a super interesting character, and a part of that is his unfortunate plot-line, while canon handled it kinda poorly, i think it makes him even more interesting and makes me want to explore him deeper. I do not remove this plot-line when I write him unless it would completely get in the way of the story.

song i associate with them: The Hunting Song by Tom Lehrer

favorite picture of them:

it’s liveblog o’clock babeee!! this time from the beginning of ch1′s trial to The Switch :’)

-”ah-haha, oh man, i haven’t been in a trial in, like, forever!” “oh, so you have experience with trials...?” tsumugi is using her sweating sprite here, too...adding this to my ‘kokichi was season 52′s second sacrifice’ conspiracy corkboard.

-the mechanical podiums in v3 are fucking SICK. i especially love the way they yank prime suspects into the middle of the trial circle. the standardized size is funny though, poor gonta and korekiyo look so awkward. at least they gave ryoma a stool....

-the monokubs are talking about the fastest class trial to date, and they say: “he was like...a leaf on the wind.” “oh yeah...i guess now he’s one with the wind.” “yeah, i think about him this time of year too.” “the way he soared through the enemy fleet all badass, just to die like a li’l punk!” it seems like the guy was a military aviator(?) who either killed someone right in front of the others, or confessed immediately. sucks for him, but a good basis for an oc...hmmm....

-it’s childish, but seeing two dr characters on the screen with a giant CONSENT!!! between them never fails to make me laugh. in an ideal world they put these in the love hotels.

-the way kokichi’s voice wobbles up and down during his fake crying continues to be hilarious, and ryoma’s amused little “...cool your jets, kid.” is great also.

-oh, i just realized they all call gonta by his first name! i though it was just kokichi that did that, but it seems like he just drops his usual -chan.

-korekiyo suggests they torture those who went to the basement for information, but shouldn’t he know that’s a useless way to interrogate people...? and no one even comments on it, either??? they just let it slide and move on!

-”if the culprit is among that group, then wouldn’t maki be the most suspicious? just look at her - she could definitely kill someone.” lines like this make me inclined to believe kokichi wasn’t lying when he says he’s known about maki for ages in ch2. was he just waiting for the proof the motive videos provided? or maybe he knows literally nothing and is just dicking around here. that’s always an option!

-watching shuichi be suspected for forgetting about the camera intervals shatters my heart. but hearing miu call him kaede’s boytoy with zero pushback from either of them puts it back together.

-i wonder what the intermissions are, in-universe? i hope they’re bathroom breaks...standing in one spot for that many hours would be awful.

-shuichi’s panic spiral is definitely not helped by being moved to the middle where he’s surrounded by eyes from all angles 😬 i’d clam up too!

-the pulsing scribbly eyes during perjury are SO cool-looking,,,

-kaede’s JP VA is absolutely INSANE. the fact that i can hear her smiling AND tearing up, at the same time, across a language barrier????

-THE SLOW FLICKERING OUT OF THE UI...THE GUNSHOT SOUND WHEN SHE SAYS SHUICHI’S GOING TO PROTECT EVERYONE...SHUICHI’S SHAKY VOICE FILTERING IN...WHAT a moment oh my goddd. 193/10.

-that’s all for now...i’ll be back with the next part of the trial sometime soon, for now i just need to lay down......(இ﹏இ`｡)
