hm. tierlist on how good of a hugger i think the pjsk cast is. vocaloids are thrown in at random. personal headcannons GALORE

tenma tsukasa. canonically an amazing big brother. this comes with the territory. he's also a human radiator so it feels very soft and warm. also has good strength so you feel very safe. 10/10 would hug again.

wxs luka. she is chubby and soft and sleepy. this is the ideal person TO hug. only thing keeping her from that number one spot is the fact she will fall asleep in your arms which is cute for about ten seconds.

mochizuki honami. she is canonically BUFF AS HELL and also SOFT. a hug from honami will instantly make you forget every single one of your worries. also she smells like apple pie.

otori emu. she may not have luka, hona, or kasa's height, but she has more than enough wonderhoy to make up for it. getting hugged by emu is like getting hugged by the worlds nicest weighted blanket.

hanasato minori. if i could go to a mmj fan meetup the first thing i would do is ask minori for a hug. she will hug you like she means it. and she does very much mean it. i just think it would be nice.

tenma saki. she will give you hugs CONSTANTLY in that super friendly "we're gonna jump in a circle while i hug you because im so happy to see you" way. will it be a long hug? no. will it make you feel instantly happy and welcome? yes. and that my friend is valid.

vbs meiko. it's a hug from your mother (or what you imagine a hug from a good mother like figure to be). safe and secure. familiar.

hinomori shizuku. if you are nice to her she will find a way to give you a hug. she smells like dewdrops in the morning. it's a very refreshing hug.

shiraishi an. everyone needs a big bear hug from a strong lesbian every now and again. also she will pick you up halfway through the hug so be ready.

shinonome akito. i dont think there is a single card where he is next to toya and not either actively giving him a hug or very much thinking about it. also hes warm and that's nice. he will not try and hug you first unless your name is aoyagi toya.

momoi airi. actually a very good hug. she will hold you tight for a few seconds. big fan of the shoulder side hug.

l/n luka. its like a hug from that cool upperclassman you had a tiny crush on in high school. objectively a very neutral hug but she's cool and it makes you feel safe.

kiritani haruka. she has perfected her idol hug throughout the years. it is a blend of hopeful, reassuring, and slightly impersonal. she tries though and you have to love her for it. if you're a haruka stan it's an instant 1 though.

azusawa kohane. honestly fantastic hugger it's a very friendly and kind sort of feeling. she's just not confident enough to give you a good one unless you're close.

yoisaki kanade. she kind of smells like bo and ramen but it's ok because a hug from kanade makes you feel instantly safer. kanade hugs are full of reassurance and safety. a reminder that you are not alone and you will be saved.

hoshino ichika. she has a very basic hug but there is love and hatsune miku inside of it so that's pretty cool

n25 miku. she learned what a hug is last week and has been practicing non-stop since. len likes this. meiko and kaito do not.

akiyama mizuki. in theory? incredible hugger. will hold you nice and tight. in practice? too scared of emotional intimacy to ever put it to practice.

shinonome ena. also someone who in theory would give great hugs but in practice unless you're having an emotional crisis she will try and scratch you to get out when she's done with it.

kusanagi nene. she's too anxious to try giving you a hug unless your name is otori emu, and even then it's really only reciprocation. she smells a bit like grapefruit and ocean waves somehow.

hinomori shiho. unless your name is tenma saki she will not hug you back. refuses to jump with her though.

vbs len. have you ever met a middle school boy who can give a decent hug.

kamishiro rui. im sorry he's bony as hell and will think he's not worthy of such kindness for a solid ten minutes. it's not the worst hug in the world but it's certainly the worst of wxs.

aoyagi toya. this poor child has not initiated a hug once in his life. he does not know what to do. hes trying though.

asahina mafuyu. hugging maf is like trying to hug an ice cube (physically and emotionally). not recommended unless you are desperate.

-1000000: n25 kaito. if you try and hug this man you will end up on a missing persons list.

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: If you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?       A1: She’s 100% not going to be the star of some action movie. I don’t know what title I’d give it, but probably a slow-paced melancholic movie focusing on character development driven narrative.

Q2: What would their soundtrack/score sound like?           A2: Pianos. Lots of piano tracks. Q3:  Why did you start writing this character?         A3: She just kind of happened. Getting into ffxiv, I wasn’t really expecting to come out of it with a new OC I’d be obsessing over. But as I grew more attached to the story and also came up with headcanons for the player character, Illya just sort of developed into her own character in my eyes.

Q4: What first attracted you to this character?         A4: Not sure if it counts but I was surprised just how much they made the player character so involved in the story, especially for an MMO. Her pro-activeness and continuously being willing to help and save others when I myself would have been too cynical to care made her endearing to me. 

Q5: Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse. A5: I’d like to think she’s a complex character, given how I spend more time thinking about her flaws than actual strengths.. but I do sometimes wonder if she’s too ideal or mary sue-ish. Her aesthetic of flowers, magic and purple has got to be the most overused and cliche combination of aesthetics imaginable. Also she stutters a lot, which makes writing dialogue in her POV slightly annoying. Q6: What do you have in common with your muse?           A6: We’re both introverted and have self-esteem issues. We’re also both rather pessimistic, though for her she’s pessimistic in her beliefs of whether she’ll be able to live up to the expectations of others, while I’m pessimistic about everyone in general. Other than that I think we’re actually rather different. 

Q7: How does your muse feel about you?         A7: Dunno. She’d probably be really scared of me, I think. Q8: What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?       A8: If I had to go into detail about every interesting interaction she has I’d take another six hours to write but in a nutshell:  Meets her best friend and fellow WOL Laurelis near the start of ARR and grows more and more attached and comfortable around her as time goes on despite starting off rather wary and weirded out by her. Meets Alphinaud at the very beginning of ARR but doesn’t really bond personally with him until the very start of HW. They confess some time mid-Stormblood. She has interesting dynamics with other WOL OCs I have too, but they’re a topic for another day. Q9: What gives you inspiration to write your muse?     A9: Just my sheer love for her. I’ve grown to love her like I would any favourite character to the point she sometimes doesn’t feel like an OC anymore. Q10 : How long did this take you to complete?   A10 : Too long. Granted I tabbed in and out, doing different things all at once but I really shouldn’t have taken close to three hours to finish this.

How would you rank the SDRA2 cast and what’s your opinion on all of them? I’ve also find it sad that the sequel is getting attention and a translation before it’s original story. As we don’t know much on the original and have to be spoiled about the original./

Well to answer the second part of this, it is pretty sad that the original isn’t as well known compared to the sequel. I’m not to familiar with LINUS’s way of promoting his series’ but I think it’s mainly because of promotion and the advancements in animation. I doubt the Western fandom knew anything about Another Despair Academy when it first came out; it also doesn’t help that it’s really hard to find videos for playthroughs of that game which is how many fans even watch the DR series. You also have to admit that SDRA2 looks significantly better in terms of art style and character designs making it more appealing and attractive in comparison to the original. I can only hope that more people will look into DRA with the success of SDRA2.

Now for the first part of the question. I’m putting this under the readmore since it ended up getting long and it contains spoilers for both SDRA2 and it’s original game Dangan Ronpa Another: Despair Academy or DRA.

To start, I love Sora. She’s more serious as a protagonist and is straight to the point when interacting with others. I also thought her actions in Chapter 4 made her a more compelling character. Granted trying to kill a big friendly guy was not a good thing to do, I can understand what she was trying to do in saving her friend. I also love that she’s more proactive with her actions; whether it’s cutting through the bullroar of a character or actually looking for answers for their identity and the killing game itself. I appreciate that about her.

For Kokoro, I do like her but not so much that she’s a fave. I love that she puts her analytical powers to great use during the first chapters and how she was even able to give the other students a clue even as she was dying. That was wonderful to see. But I’m just not into her because of how monotone her personality is and how she didn’t make much of an effort to interact with the others. Though I did like that she tried to reach out to Emma in an act of friendship.

I have conflicting feelings for Iroha but I ultimately love her. The feelings come from her stance as a Void member and why a timid, fragile girl like her is even involved in a dark group like them. I’m interested to learn more about her but I’m worried that she may disappoint me if the reasons for her involvement and her lack of commitment aren’t as compelling. But I do love her design and the amount of potential as to how she ended up with Void to begin with is what makes me consider her to be a fave.

Yoruko is another girl I like very much. She’s a great friend that does her best to support Sora and she has very respectable morals. I would love her more but I don’t know much about her backstory or how involved she is during the Daily Life segments. Once I learn more about her with the translations then she’ll definitely rise to a favorite.

And for Kanade….I have conflicting feelings for her. On one hand, I actually like her as a villain considering that she set up that elaborate murder scheme and her nightmare sprites are both terrifying and awesome. But on the other hand, I really don’t like how she obsessed over her sister while killing off anyone that Hibiki loved/liked. That’s just messed up. She’s great as a villain but I don’t condone her abusive and incestious love.

I consider Emma to be one of my favorites too. She has a great character design, I love her tranquil personality, and I like how she utilized her acting talent while committing her murder. It’s something you’d expect and she pulled it off perfectly. And just like Iroha, I’m also interested in knowing what her life was like that led her to join Void. There’s so much potential from a cool talented girl like her and I can’t wait to read about it in the future.

Just like her twin, I also have conflicting feelings for Hibiki. I feel sorry that she grew up with such a monster of a sister and how she was defenseless in stopping her. On the other, I didn’t really care for how bratty and self centered she was in the first chapters. And I’m also confused as to how she can pull off bullying her sister considering how much of a serial killer she is. Like, how did that work? I don’t know. She has my sympathies but I’m pretty indifferent towards her.

I’m also really neutral with Setsuka. I liked her outfit and how she was trying to be cool in front of the others but I really didn’t feel much for her. I guess her personality didn’t stand out to me as the others. She was alright.

Now for the guys!

Yuki is okay for me. He’s not a fave but I do like that he’s been a good friend for Sora. But I’m kinda nervous over what will happen to him in the final chapters. I know that he the other personality Utsuro who is a SHSL Despair and I’m worried over how he’ll transform again. It also doesn’t help that he’s taking the killing game alot harder than past protagonists. Which I can respect and appreciate to be honest; a killing game is a traumatic experience so I like that Yuki isn’t taking it as well like the canon predecessors. I just hope he has a happy ending after all of this.

Hajime is on the same level as Setsuka; I like his design but I just didn’t care for him. His personality of taking care of his health followed by switching to a standard evil villain wasn’t that appealing for me. But I do like his Void segments which are a great way to expand his character. I like that.

For Syobai, I can proudly say he’s my all time favorite character in SDRA2. There’s a couple of reasons for that. For starters, he reminds me alot of Hagakure (my all time favorite DR character) because of his scruffy appearance, his sleazy appearance and his carefree attitude. He really comes off as a dynamic character because of his shady background as a trafficker along with how his actions in the killing game tend to vary based on the circumstances. Whether it be trying to sabotage the others (trying to stab Yuki, helping Emma with her fake alibi) or helping the group showing a noble side (tending to Sora’s wound after stabbing her, helping out in the later trials). I can see that he slowly starts to be more involved and care for the group as the killing game continues. He fascinates me and I’m dying to know about his backstory and what will become of him at the end of the game. I only hope that he shows signs of having a good heart so I can love him even more!

I like Shinji. He’s a good man and I respect everything he does. From trying to be friends with everyone in the group in an attempt to win over the Voids, to him sacrificing himself to save Yuki and Sora from being executed. That was very honorable and I respect how caring and full of love he is. My only issue with him is how he gets too nervous when talking with girls; I’m not a fan of that trope. But I still love him regardless. And he’s quite handsome too!

Sadly I can’t say the same for Yuri. While I get that he was trying to come off as a ‘knight in shining armor’ for the girls, I didn’t like how he kept pushing on that image even when the girls weren’t interested. He came off as too self-centered with his desire to be immortalized that it makes him look like an arrogant a-hole instead of an ideal man. Plus he kinda looks alot like Nagito and I’m not a fan of that guy. >.>

For Mikado, I have conflicted feelings for the guy. On one hand, I think he makes a great and effective villain for the DR story. I’m also interested to know whether his powers are an actual thing or if he’s actually a computer program that allows him to use his powers in the virtual world. (It’s not confirmed that the story takes place in a virtual world but it is a possible theory given the circumstances). But on the other, I kinda don’t like him. Mainly because he comes off as too OP and untouchable. Like he’s practically getting away with everything and the students can’t stop him. It just rubs me the wrong way.

I’m pretty neutral towards Nikei. He’s an okay guy and I do love that he tried to betray Mikado since the beginning. But apart from that, I’m just not really interested in him as a character.

I actually like Teruya but I don’t know much about him in the SDRA2 storyline. I do like that he grew more mature since his appearance on DRA and that he still has that friendly side to him. I also like that he’s also proactive in the events of the story (serving as Kokoro’s bodyguard when she attempted to interrogate Emma). I still need to know how he interacts with the others before I can consider him to be an official fave. Also I think he’s pretty hot and he looks great in a speedo. Don’t judge me.

Now for Bonus characters!

Rei is also another character that I’d love to learn more about. I saw bits and pieces of her appearance on DRA and she was pretty much Togami if he were a girl. From what I’ve seen of her, her personality is more composed since DRA and is more cooperative with Teruya. I also think her new design looks really cool. I also like to believe that she’s still alive and will still be involved in the killing game in some way. (This would also tie in with the theory of everything being a simulation).

And last but not least, I personally like Monocrow. He definitely stands out from Monokuma since he’s more refined as a killing game mascot. He’s still obsessed with the killing game but he also has a dramatic appeal that he pulls off very well with his deep, foreboding voice. It’s like if Gundam Tanaka was reincarnated as a toy bird with an evil streak. I like it alot!

And those are my opinions for all the characters in SDRA2. Although my opinions for some of them may change once the official translations for the playthrough come out so this is what I think so far. Thank you for asking me this anon! I hope you enjoy my answers!
