#new danganronpa v3: killing harmony

Okay but now I'm thinking about the V3 cast and the fact that they were. Really quickly institutionalized because of what happened to Kaede and Rantaro.

I think that it's fair to say that a lot of the characters were or became reactive characters after chapter 1, which makes it not so great narratively speaking--but there is a reason why everyone just, kind of shut down and started to pretend everything was normal and fine and there was nothing wrong with their lives in the living hell they were forced to be in.

Kaede's attempt to kill the Mastermind, Rantaro's plan to thwart the mastermind--all of it was a prime example of "If you go against us, you will die next."

This is especially important to note because unlike the rest of the V3 executions, like in every other game, the first execution was done live/in front of the rest of the cast. Except with Kaede it was a spectacle of why you do not try to thwart the Mastermind. It's an effective way to snuff out any rebellion or unity.

So when the class learned that fighting the Mastermind would get them so brutally killed, they became so scared of their own reality that they escaped into a fake one--where they all ate breakfast in the mornings together, chatted like normal people, and lived their daily lives like this was just any other Tuesday.

They were bashed over the head with learned helplessness and they were conditioned into being the perfect little group of people to be in a killing game. They stopped trying to escape, they stopped trying to be defiant, they idealized escaping but never made any real plans after Kaede's attempt because if they tried, it would end in disaster.

That's also why Kokichi was scapegoated.

He didn't play along with their desperate fantasy for normalcy. He reminded everyone of the death and destruction that was behind them and in front of them and he continued to rebel ever so subtly. He tried, he really did try, but when you got a group of kids fearing for their lives so much that they give up on escaping because the first person to show rebellion ended up dead, it's really hard to make them unlearn that learned helplessness.

So they see Kokichi as the outside, the troublemaker. He's ruining their desperate attempts to lead normal lives in these hellish conditions, reminding them of the horror that they are trapped in a killing game with no real way out, reminding them that the next murderer could be their new best friend or even themselves, or the next victim could be either or, they react violently. That kind of reality isn't easy to face. So they reject Kokichi, the one ruining their only semblance of Normalcy, because he is pushing them to remember that their situation is far from normal.

And if they remember that, then their small threads of sanity crumbles with it. Because they were taught very quickly that rebellion ends with death--so if they try to live in reality, they have to face that they are essentially going to die in that hellhole whether they comply or rebel.

So there's no point in rebelling. They're dead either way. So why does this troublemaker keep pushing them? They don't want to be pushed. They want to pretend it's all normal for their own sanity. Why is he is insensitive? Why is he so cruel?

And that's why Kokichi ended up as a scapegoat--because everyone was so desperate for happiness and normalcy that they couldn't take the cruel reality they were living in.

Hey all! I probably should be promoting this more on here. So for those not in the know, my brother and I have our own podcast called Tradin' Faves where we "trade" video game recommendations back and forth and then go on big long discussions about them.

As some of you could probably tell by my obsessive rebloging as of late, my most recent recommendation for my Brother was New Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. We had a TON of fun with this game and (as evidenced by how long this video is) we both had a LOT to say about it! I myself had some particularly spicy takes on some parts of this game that felt nice to just... talk about. IDK, I just really love this game. It, and its characters mean a lot to me.

Obviously, there's no pressure to listen to the whole thing (we tend to talk a LOT about stuff we're passionate about). But, if you are as absolutely unhinged about this game as I am, and need some long form content to just throw into the background while on a long drive or something, maybe give it a look! I'd love to discuss stuff about the game with anyone who's willing to put up with me about it!

Either way, I'm gonna try and promote our podcast on here more. But this episode especially was a big labor of love! Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey friendly reminder that Gonta is not a fucking child and that all of the V3 cast are highly likely to actually be young adults in their college years.
