#makoto flirts MORE with yuma and yomi

[alfiely-art]

The raincode in my head has a similar pace to Ace Attorney or Persona 5, where you spend multiple days in-game on the case/labrinth and it has the teamwork aspect from Danganronpa where all the main characters contribute to more than just their special focus case

You get time to hang out with the main cast like confidants or free time events and the gumshoe gabs are saved for the train detectives.

There's mini cases you can do in between the main ones. There's even a quest that's available after chapter 3 where you can help Makoto pick out his mask- Yomi's unavailable and Makoto's like "I had a feeling you'd have good taste, Yuma •3"

We get to see Makoto's emergency announcement and he + Yuma reconciling (they hug.) And Vivia stays at the NDA to keep it running, keeping Yakou's legacy alive

Kurumi goes out to travel the world and try to return the book of death to Yuma, who. Yk. Actually says goodbye to his friends and leaves them a way to contact him. He doesn't just fuck off into the desert

You get to go to the bar with Yakou and he makes hints about his wife because I think he's sad when he's drunk. Even though he wanted to let loose

Kurumi trains at the NDA after everything and becomes a detective trainee, Vivia's helping to train her (she already knows most of it but formal training is still good)

You get to buy gifts for the main cast and give it to them

Want to gamble with Halara? Bam. Minigame. You can also gamble with Desuhiko as an easy mode (you make less money this way though)

Seth lives

The Peacekeepers have more relevance. Why are their roles so brief. Yomi is the only one with a good amount of screen time.

Speaking of Yomi in the epilogue there's a cutscene of him doing community service all grumbling. Maybe he's working in Dohya District and Martina is overseeing the work there. She feels very pleased. Yomi is not allowed to speak to her

Uhhh and more. That's the raincode in my head

[yakool-foolio]

Okay, now on the other end of things

Morality wise, what about the NDA? Like they're the "good guys" in the story but who's the morally best and worst in your opinion? Also Kurumi as well if you want, because she kind of counts as am honorary NDA member ig?

Ooooooooh man this is a whole other can of worms, isn't it? Ranking the peacekeepers on their morality is much more cut n dry, but there's a whole lot more to think about when discussing the much more nuanced ethics each detective has. So to not devolve into too much chaos, I'll once again only be basing my ranking off of what is seen in canon in the game, so no talk of Number One Yuma (though that is definitely its own decisive topic, which will become evident soon). And as usual the list will go from best to worst, so we'll ease ourselves in before really diving into the nuance.

To start us off is the lovely Fubuki! Oh, you sweet summer child. The most morally sound out of all the detectives. Not a single bad bone in her body. She may be uneducated about many things in the world, but that doesn't stop her from being inherently kind and sweet, even with her unconventional compliments.

Next in line is Halara! I was honestly a little conflicted on whether they would be placed above or below Desuhiko, but I after some thinking, I believe Halara has the moral high ground. Obviously their stinginess and greed lowers their score, but the road is paved with good intentions. The reason they ask for so much money is so they can put it toward a program to help save cats! Even though they have trust issues with people, they care deeply about animals. And once they do gain some trust in human allies like Fubuki and Desuhiko, they say that their companionship is considered enough payment for the time being when partaking in casual investigations.

Climbing down to the next rung is Desuhiko. He's definitely got some issues with his ethics regarding his flirtatiousness. He is not afraid to flirt with any woman he meets and that is not good. Thankfully, he doesn't necessarily force any interaction and does back off when scolded or ignored enough, but that doesn't make his words any less uncomfortable. He needs to learn some self control or else he's gonna get a boot to the head.

Now here's where things get really interesting. Vivia takes third place in moral deviance. This is without going into the possible meanings of the teardrop tattoo, god forbid I bring up the idea of him murdering someone or being part of a gang; things would get much worse if I did. Even then, Vivia's overreaction to Yuma's determination to expose the truth definitely sits him firmly on the lower end of the ranking. He threatened to kill Yuma just so they could go back to living in blissful ignorance of Yakou's involvement in the case. He only resigned from his murderous intentions after hearing Yakou's spirit, calming him down and making him realize that he can't turn away from the truth and has to believe in his heart (kinda gay ngl). Vivia as a whole is harder to exactly pin down with his moral grayness regarding honesty, but ya can't really ignore the intention to slit someone's throat open, can ya?

And now we reach the actual murderer: heyo Yakou. Despite all the manipulation pulled by Yomi and Makoto, Yakou didn't have to kill Huesca. He did it for vengeance and atonement, leading all his detectives into the lion's den in order to execute his plan. Despite taking advantage of his allies, he undoubtedly had good intentions and is a very good soul overall. He wanted to bring justice to his wife who died because of an absolutely awful man and make up for not being able to save her. But murder is still murder, regardless of motive (I would say to put a pin in this, but I don't need to when the topic is coming up again right around the corner).

And here's the actual mass-murderer: Yuma! Now I know this may come as a shocker (or not depending on how much this game has been rotating in your brain like it has with mine), but Yuma is far from innocent, as much as we love to call him 'baby.' With the help of Shinigami, Yuma has killed many culprits. It can be argued that the very first reaping of Hitman Zilch doesn't fall under the same umbrella of awareness of his crime, but he still killed him! And afterward, Yuma made the decision to enter the labyrinth knowing that the culprits would die. He didn't have to use the labyrinths. It's especially egregious in chapter 3 when help was already on the way and would've put a stop to Dominic smashing Yuma to bits since they had the culprit with them! A death could've been avoided, but hindsight is not Yuma's Forte. And like I said, this isn't even talking about the corrupt fuckery of the WDO and what Yuma might've done as Number One.

Ya know, I'm sort of wondering if you got an kink headcanons for the characters. Especially Yomi and the detectives haha

TW/CW: Somnophilia/noncon/gore/yandere

Surprisingly, the most I've really thought about is Seth kink headcanons. I definitely think Seth fantasizes about fucking his boss due to Yomi's work abuse (depending on how bad Yomi treats him that day, is how intense his sexual fantasies get) and has a somnophilia kink. He really wants to drug Yomi and give him a taste of his own medicine (I actually posted some thoughts about him actually going through with drugging Yomi)

For Makoto, I've also thought he's a little into gore. Where he gives Yomi the antidote after Yakou's DLC and makes Yomi suffer..a lot. Maybe since Makoto loves the ppl of Kanai Ward and Yomi made them all suffer for so long (tho Makoto still loves Yomi. This is just his way of punishing him/showing his love). Since Yomi's body might be able to restore itself but he'd feel Makoto torturing him. I like to think Makoto is such a little freak. Doesn't show it to other people. But once he and Yomi are alone, he can't control himself.

And I am gonna be honest, I haven't thought toooooo much about Yomi kink headcanons. Like with abo stuff, I like the idea of Yomi hiding the fact he's an omega but someone (probably Makoto or Seth, maybe even Yakou) finding out or something. I always imagine Yomi as a trans man though. I'd also like to think Makoto actually turns him on (tho he'd never admit it), so late at night, he masturbates at the thought of/to a picture of Makoto while muttering something like "You stupid Masked Bastard".

As for Zilch, I think he's a yandere deep down. Like he's the type that wants Yomi all to himself (but to Yomi, he's a "good boy") and he gets *extremely* jealous whenever Yomi is flirting with/being sexual towards Martina. He wants to kill anyone that touches Yomi. Zilch probably masturbates to Yomi often and really wants to ravage him, but at the same time, doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Yomi. I also like to think after Yakou's DLC, they're able to bring Zilch back but he's not entirely the same as he once was. His yandere tendencies increased tenfold. Maybe he even somehow makes it to where Yomi and him will share a jail cell (somehow, idk) so he can show Yomi just how much he loves him. I also like to think Zilch watches Yomi sleep. He's also a creep. To me, everyone in here is a creep towards Yomi (except probably Yuma, Shinigami, Halara, Fubuki, and Vivia)

That's preeeetty much it I think. 😭😭 Sometimes I try to think of more kink hcs but nothing wants to come to me. If you have any kink hcs for the characters, I'd love to hear them!
