just a reminder that wishing death on any of the danganronpa writers makes you a terrible person and all of your favorite danganronpa characters hate you if you do that! 🤗 this is danganronpa so a lot of them will die 🤗 that doesnt mean you get to be a dickhead to team dr 🤗 get over it! 🤗

keep in mind the danganronpa actors are still real people and they can see all of you thirsting over them ok. please be normal. just because they went through the effects of the flashback light doesnt mean its ok to be a fucking weirdo to hajime whenever he walks outside

🧊 kokoroicebox Follow

They're celebrities. People are going to find celebrities attractive, especially if these are people they see on screens and billboards every day. If you pick up the nearest magazine you find you're probably going to find Junko Enoshima in it. And maybe you should consider that those "weirdos" who are walking up to Hajime are simply fans that want to greet him. We've watched these people fight through hell, cry, laugh, and find hope along the way. Of course we are going to get attached to them, especially to those of us who have been keeping up with them for a long time now. You're basically asking a bunch of teenagers to close their eyes and pretend their favorite media doesn't exist.

[yanderehsr]

Ooh~ could I get Hi, a reader that confesses to yandere Yae Miko, Natasha, Yukong and Junko who then runs away outta embarrassment~ I really liked the last one you did of this.

Glad you liked it, Hope you'll enjoy😄

Trigger Warning: Yandere, Obsessive behaviour, Possessive behaviour

Yae Miko: Adorable, she thinks that you are just so cute when you confess to her, so irresistible, she just wants to grab you right now, push you into the ground and... she calms herself down before her thoughts get the best of her.

Yae Miko is very pleased when you run away, she thought you couldn't get any cuter but you proved her wrong, if it's a game of chase you want then that is what you'll get, don't blame her for claiming her prize when she catches you, you started this game and she'll finish it.

"Hmmm, why did you run away, don't you know that running prey looks much more delicious to a fox"

Natasha: She is very patient and letting you take your time getting out your confession, she doesn't want you to feel any more embarressed or anxious, she'll give you a relaxed smile until you are done.

When you run away Natasha can't help but feel that maybe it was her fault, maybe she should have just grabbed you in the middle of the confession and kiss you just like she wanted to, she'll send someone from wildfire to grab you, it isn't that she doesn't wanna grab you herself, she just has to prepare your room you will be staying in.

"I'm sorry if Seele was rough on you but you shouldn't have ran away, I was going to accept you know"

Yukong: As happy as she is that you feel the same, she can't help but feel a bit down, she had wanted to confess to you first, she had prepared for years on what to say to you, well at least she gets to enjoy your flushed face and stuttering words.

When you are done Yukong will grab you before you can get to the running away part, first of all she will confess to you as well, she has waited so long for this, it would be a shame if her 30 minute confession was trashed, then she'll kiss you, she doesn't need to hear your answer to her confession and even if you were to grow afraid and reject her after some... morbid details in her confession, she wouldn't allow you to reject her.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted this, wanted you, you are the best thing that has happened to me, never leave me"

Junko Enoshima: Is she flattered... a bit, who wouldn't if the one you love confessed to you, but Junko is sadistic, she sees how nervous you are and starts teasing and bullying you while forcing you to continue, she loves seeing tears on your eyes, it's such a beautiful face.

Junko will reject you if only to see that heartbroken look on your eyes, well she would of if you hadn't ran away from her, this gets her angry, how dare you run when she is having such fun, she will not run after you, that is below her, instead she'll send Mukuro after you, and when you are brought back to Junko, well... it's punishment time.

"You don't get to run away from me, you'll run away when I tell you to, I was going to reject you but I'm to angry for that so I guess you're mine now"

The Misadventures of the Third Enoshima (1) | Yandere Danganronpa

For the first official game, I can see you physically not being apart of it

Unfortunately, the Despair twins are all too busy preparing for their roles in the 78th class

So busy they don’t have time to chase you themselves

Much to Mukuro’s chagrin

Junko leaves it to another to pursue you’re hiding and un-brainwashed

“Nenene~Kamakura-Sen-Pai! You’ll find my precious baby bird? They’ve seemed to run off at the height of our despair!”

“Why should I? It could be boring, chasing down this...bird of yours.”

“Hmmm, it could! I never thought about it that way~! You know what I’ll just have that pig do it instead since you’re so preoccupied hanging out with the 77th class! Tata.”

He pulls out her mini photobook with various snapshots of you he so easily swiped

None of which have you posing for them

It was easy to swipe

And wordlessly he’s accepted her favor

Why? 

Something about this mere picture of you feels….far from boring

So while you continue to be on the run vaguely aware of your being followed 

You can only look on as the friends you once knew are forced to kill themselves in a mutual killing game

Slowly unraveling the truth surrounding their despairful entrapment

Meanwhile, you begin to try and see if there’s a way you can remind the 77th class of who they are before this

Just narrowly surviving and thwarting their grand plots of despair

In the midst of this is where those at the future foundation find their interest in you 

“(Y/n)? Last name?”

“Does it really matter now? The point is I’m trying to help.”

It’s up to you whether to tell the sword-wielding Munakata or let him figure it out himself

Either way, you’re actions and adorably cute pleading face has him taking you under his wing

“Fine (Y/n)...for your safety you should take my last name earlier than planned. So that you’re past doesn’t interfere with the hope you’ll bring.”

“Thanks Kyosuke for believing in me!”

“What are you talking about (Y/n)-chi~? You did it all by yourself fighting despair on your own for soo long.”

“Chisa–”

“Yeah but don’t expect us to just leave you unattended! Knowing you you’d get yourself killed in seconds.”

“Hey!”

“Juzo don’t be mean!”

“All that being said…welcome to the Future Foundation (Y/n). Let’s cure the world of despair.” 

[thequietkid-moonie]

Bullied reverse course darling

[ YANDERE HEADCANONS ] [ Junko, Nagito, Ibuki, Mikan ]

[ Trigger Happy Havoc ] [ Goodbye Despair ]

⚠️ Yandere, I don't support nor try to romanticize this toxic behaivor, is just for entretaiment

This was really interesting to write! I think ultimate x reverse student is already an interesanting prompt!!

I had to left out Kyoko because i don't feel like writing for her, instead I made Mikan! Hope you don't mind

Junko Enoshima

Junko is always looking for something that could bring her happiness through the despair, even if that mean putting into action the craziest plan. For you two to meet isn't too difficult because of this, although is probably that Junko won't be interested in you right away unless she senses the despair you are going throught

Junko's interest and obsession on you will grow really fast, once she notice the problems you are having with the bullying thay imediatly pick her interesant, she probably will watch you from afar but has no problem with going with you directly immediatly, she just wants to be able to observe you and find out how much this is affecting you. Junko is incredibly smart and observant so it won't take her much time before she gets all the information she can, how much students and who is bullying you, how much it affects you, what hurts you the most, what you do to cope with the bullying, and so on, she gets all the information until she is satisfied

Although, she will never really grow fully satisfied, the more she learns for you the more obsesive she grows, for what she just wants to know more and more about you. She started by just getting interested because of the despair but it slowly becomes to be interested in all of you, and no matter what you say or do her once Junko grew obsessed over you she will never leave you alone

Junko is well aware that her feelings towards you aren't exactly wholesome or normal, but she doesn't care at all, as long as it brings her happiness and joy to her life she doesn't really care for anything else, not even your safety, is almost as if you became her little toy to play without you being able to do anything about it

At some point, probably pretty soon, Junko will came to you and start befriend you, not really hidding her true personality but actually trying to be charming just to make sure you don't run away from her since the start. Junko is really smart and has a whole plan to charm you to trust her and let her in your personal life before she wins the full control of your life, although is probably that she puts her plan into action even after start befriending you

Junko is well aware that you suffer from bullying and is probably that she act worried or even offended just at first to try to lull you into her game, but she doesn't actually care much for the bullying, in fact is something she actually cheerish because it brings you despair and thats what she love the most

Even once Junko becomes closer to her darling and starting winning more control over their life she won't stop the bullying yet, she will even secretly encourge the bullies and indirectly give them information to bother you only for her to watch the scene amused. However even the bullying is something she wins control over it, she control when and how much you get bullied, she just let it happen enough for her to be satisfied by the the beautiful scene of you falling into despair, and her feeling of despair while watching someone else mistreaten her darling

Although, as much as Junko loves this situation she grows mad with your bullies over time, she likes that you are feeling despair but she should be the only one who makes you feel that way, so even if at some point she had encourage them now she despises them so she will take matter into action, no matter how hypocrite may be she will end up punishing your bullies in the worst way posible, enjoying every single moment of it while making them feel the great despair!

It isn't safe to say that you'll be free of the bullying, because even if your bullies suddenly disappear that will just give Junko free pass to be the only one giving you that sweet despair and no one will stop her from doing it, not even you

Nagito Komaeda

It would be a little difficult for Nagito to even interact with reverse course due him despising them, he doesn't go out of his way to bullied them but he isn't kind whenever interacting with someone from the reverse course either

For you two meet, or well, for him to start actually interacting with you has to be because he has see you around the campus more than once, already seeing people bothering you but also seeing you still go on with your day or that he doesn't know that you are talentless, in any case it won't take much time before you pick his interest and he start to actively trying to learn more about you, either by watching you from afar or directly starting to talk with you (if he doesn't know you are talentless he will saying self-depracating things but not much since he isn't sure if you are an ultimate or not)

Nagito's ideals were deeply ingrained and he couldn't go against them, so for him to actually start falling for a reverse student has to be because he already knows your potential, after watching for a while and getting to know you better he will slowly get convinced that even if you are a talentless you are really hopeful, going to Hope's Peak Academy despite not having any kind of talent, getting constantly bullied by it and still always making your best to keep going, to keep attending to class and trying to have some peace shows the great hope inside of you

It take a while but once the simple idea of you being quite hopeful grows on his mind the idea will only grow more and more with time, from now on, in his eyes, everything you do is for the sake or motivated for your hope, no matter what you do nor what you think of himself that won't change the way he sees you now, or his growing obsession for you

He takes a little advantage of your position as a reverse course student to get close to you, interact with you and even being a little pushy with it if you don't seem too interested on him, even when he had started looking up at you he doesn't treat you as the hopeful deitity he sees you yet, you are still a reverse course student and it would take him a while for him to get used to that, but in the meantime he is acting really kind and friendly with you

He tries to spend all the time he can with you by the excuse of just wanting to be your friend, while, in the shadows he is just feeding more and more his believe of you having the potential to become the ultimate hope. Nagito lull you into trusting him and charm you with his friendly attitude until you two are really close, and then is when he start to show more his worshiping and obsesive tendencies because to that moment he already knows (or have convinced himself) how hopeful you are, even if you would find it weird or even disturbing there is not way to turn back down, he has found the ultimate hope and he must protect and serve them (even if he sees himself unwhorthy)

At first, the bullying you recived used to be something that he didn't care, but now that he knows how hopeful you are he can't just have that, he rather take all that hate and mistreat on himself than letting anything bad reach you, that is why he tried to protect you from the bullied by diferent ways, keeping you as far away from those people who just wish you ill and taking it himself (if he can), although he may even start thinking bad of them, even if your bullies are ultimates they aren't even close to be able to compare to you, so he may just teach them a lesson for even just thinking bad of you, but that would depend on what they have done to you and how bad do you feel about what happened, or if you ended injured (although, he is pretty easy to be trigger when it comes to you, specially if your safety is on risk)

Nagito is determinated to protect you and keep you safe from anything and everything, his own sanity slowly starts to depend more on you, that is why you being bullied start to make him feel paranoia, he already fears that you might end up hurt because of his luck but you being actively hurt by others just makes his worries be even worst, to the point where he just can't keep calm when it comes to your safety. If he is able to stop the bullying his paranoia won't grow much, but if his efforts fails and the bullies keep going he may just snap and do something serious against them or even just kidnap you

It sadden Nagito to be so far from you during classes, he can't just concentrate in anything else because his mind is just full of thoughts of you, from wondering if you are alright to feeling like a failure for not being there with you, or even feeling unwhorthy and thinking that probably you will be better if he just stays away from you and leave you be (although his paranoia won't let him leave you alone), he isn't able to calm down until he is able to see you again

Ibuki Mioda

Ibuki is a really open minded and friendly person, she likes talking and making new friends so if she ever get to know you she won't think twice before already treating you as a friend, for her it doesn't matter if you are talentless or ultimate, she want to know your true self

She may don't fully get that you are being bullied if she doesn't see it personaly, but she does notice the little hints like being uncomfortable or even weird out by the fact that she is talking to you like a friend, she acts goofy and friendly but she is weel aware how a lot of people take advantage of the school system to pick on reverse students and that is why she tries to don't make a big deal out of it

It probably won't take much time for Ibuki to cross your wary walls and get right into your heart, even if at first is just by being friends, she is just happy that you finally accept her and from then she won't leave you alone never again

Ibuki end up falling for her darling because of her personality, no matter if you are introvert or extrovert she'll find you incredibly adorable and fascinating in your own way and that is when her obsession becomes, it grows so slowly and inconspicuously that is almost scary, and, since her whole behavior is always being affectionate, clingy and energetic it isn't that weird and can come across as normal when she start to become more and more clingy and invasive

Ibuki doesn't think bad of her feelings, she knows perfectly fine that she is in love with you, although she ignores the fact that the intensity of her feeling is abnormal and just accept them with open arms

With time Ibuki grows quite intense when it comes to her darling in diferent aspects, you suffering from bullying was something she used to find reprehensible, something really bad that must stop, one or other way, she wants to help you in a good healthy way but she is just too intense to the point were she grows even impulsive, she tries to distract you and comfort you while taking you away from the bullies, she hopes that that would be enough but if people insist on bothering you she will just step in and protect you from your bullies, confronting them and asking them to stop, but if they still don't listen then they left Ibuki without other option than taking action and punish them, is more likely that if Ibuki is pushed to her limit she end up just killing them with the excuse that is just for the sake of her darling (she doesn't regret it nor shows sorry for them, they were the bad guys anyways)

No matter what resources Ibuki is forced to use to protect her darling she will not stop being the smiling and affectionate person she has been with her darling since the start, even after killing she just came and act as always, although Ibuki's feelings will depend for what the bullies have done, if you are traumstized or they didn't stop in time Ibuki will just grows a little paranoid and end up insolating you (without even having to kidnap you), assuring you that Ibuki is the person you can trust with your life and even convincing you that she is the only one you can trust

Mikan Tsumiki

It could be a little difficult for you to meet, even when Mikan doesn't mind at all the fact that you are a reverse student, but for her it would take a while to feel comfortable around you just because of her abusive past

You two can easily empathize with each other since both had being bullied (although, probably you haven't being mistreaten to the same point that Mikan had suffered but at least you can understand her), however she wouldn't take it too well at first, thinking that she is in a too shameful state and you are just pitying her if you ever mention it

For Mikan to grow obsesive over you it has to be because you seem to be liking to mistreate her and only her or being really kind towards her, and for being in a similar potition is more probably that you two become a comfort zone for each other, someone with who you two can just be without judgment nor titles, and that is how she becomes obsesive and even dependent on you pretty quickly

Is until Mikan grows obsesive that she starts to feel bothered by the fact that you are a reverse student, but it is only because that is the reason why she can't be with you all the time, leading her to feel more and more desperate with every minute that she pass away from you, the distress fullfiling her until she is finally to be able to see you, probably even cry a little and apologizing for being so needy and bothering you with her insistance (not matter how much you reasure her is the same everytime)

Mikan think of you as perfect, even if you are talentless she doesn't mind at all, and she wants to know everything she can about you, so at some point she will try to win the courage to ask you about your class in the reverse course for being actually interested more on your life, however she will quickly apologize the firsts times she ask because she fears you may think that she is trying to make fun of you

She won't know about you being bullied unless you tell her or she sees it, either by actually watching it happen or because she help you with the bruises, at first she was just feeling bad about the situation but as her obsession grows it becomes a topic that start to bother her more and more, it makes her feel helpless and usless, it makes her feel like she is being nothing but a bother for you since you already has to handle a lot with a rough academic program on the reverse course and also the constant bullying and now having to deal with her and her clumsiness, she feel really bad about it but everytime you do as much as smile at her she can't help but feel like with you is where she belongs, where she can be happy, even if you were just doing it for pity she wouldn't mind as long as you don't leave her

Everytime Mikan gets to see the hints of you being bullies (like being sad or even physicaly hurt) she can't help but feel even more usless, almost at the verge of tears, she rather have to endure the bullying you are suffering than leaving you suffer it, and it just gets worst when she saw it in front of her (that won't take much time before happening because of how clingy she is, to the point of becoming a stalker)

The moment she sees you being bullied she just froze and feel like if her entire world start to fall apart, she feel so impotent for not being able to do anything and so shameful that it would take her a while to finally look at you in the eyes again. If she ever gets to see it again it would be almost the same, until she finally win the courage to step in and try to stop the bullying, probably just offering to take your place

Mikan will just grow paranoid over time because of the bullying and how much time you two spend away, everytime there is evidence that you have being bullied or even saw it she treats it as if you were about to die, it causes so much distress that she end up taking things into matter and makes sure to take their life in her hands, that way they will never bother you again and she can make sure you are safe, she will finally be useful for you

[cannibalisticdespair]

🔥 Despaircest (can't be unpopular as in "fandom hates it even though it's gr8"; we need to go weirder and deeper)

If those two fucking idiots ever had an actually honest and heartfelt conversation, things would have gone extremely differently because they actually did feel the same about each other.

The Despaircest plot is told out of order. 1-6's trial has Makoto's hope include the caveat of "we don't even know if Junko is lying!" Yes, he also goes "and if she isn't, we've got this", but that's just half of it and the other half is "nuh uh!" And here's the thing: SDR2 came out years later after DR1 was successful. DR1 never tells us if Junko was lying or not. So, view it with that in mind. DR1 leaves the question to us: was she full of shit?

Two years later, we get the answer. In 2-6. A whole game later, we find out the answer was "no, Junko was not lying". And that modifies the viewing of 1-6. Because now, you have to view 1-6 as "Junko is telling the truth here, she isn't lying to manipulate anyone, she's just being honest". When Junko says she loves her classmates? That's true. When Junko says the world ended? That's true. When Junko says Mukuro is just like her and loves despair the same way as her... wait, what?

Oh, but you're given a decoder ring. Beating SDR2 unlocks Danganronpa IF, where we find out that that is not at all true. But... if Junko isn't lying, but that isn't true, there's only one possible explanation. Junko's wrong. Now, how does that line up with IF? Perfectly.

In IF, Mukuro survives the murder because Makoto's memories start to come back and he warns her to dodge using her real name, so she does it on instinct, so she doesn't die, but he does get hurt trying to save her. Which leads to Mukuro turning on Junko. But importantly, there's the breakup.

"Say, sis?" "Oh! Junko, it's you!" Ikusaba's eyes brightened at the first sight of her sister in days, but they would soon go dim. "You know, I was always thankful to you, sis. I mean it." It was because Junko's voice, coming from the speakers, was terribly soft and gentle. "...Junko?" "I'm really sorry. I was being too harsh with you. I even tried to kill you just now, and I was about to make you do something horrible. Even though I know how you feel about Naegi." "I-I don't..." "Don't force yourself. You might not realize it, but it was really obvious. You never cared about those class pictures, but you looked at the camera properly that one time Naegi took the photo." From just the image on the monitor, the Super High School Level Despair looked like a girl with a sweet, innocent smile teasing her older sister. But that was exactly why Ikusaba was slowly falling towards despairing fear. "I always thought you should've put your all into it when you were in a picture with Naegi, but I guess that's all part of your disappointing self, sis." "But you know, you might be lackluster and disappointing, but I love that about you too." Ikusaba trembled. "I love you. How long had she wanted to hear these words from Junko? Ikusaba believed that, no matter what Junko said, she actually loved her very much. Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion. The moment Junko said, 'I love you', Ikusaba realized--to her agony--that she never truly understood her sister. Only now had she come to realize Junko's feelings. Junko was being kind. There was no lie in her gentle words. Perhaps she was being entirely truthful about loving her sister as well. This was precisely why this signalled the destruction of their relationship. Ikusaba realized that Junko was cutting ties with her. And before Ikusaba could say a word in reply, the girl on the monitor left her with a word of cruelty. "I know you'll make your dreams come true someday."

Do you get it? Junko really, truly loves Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loves her. And they never understood each other, but they both completely believed they did. Combine this with Junko in 1-6 talking about Mukuro and you have Junko's belief before the truth is revealed to her and Junko after the truth is revealed to her.

So, what was killing Mukuro? Trying to say "I love you" and make Mukuro's dreams come true without understanding Mukuro's love language or Mukuro's dreams. Consider how Junko describes how Mukuro "must have" felt. Why would she deny herself that despair? Simple: so Mukuro could have it, believing Mukuro wanted it just as much as she did. Her act of love in DR1 was self-sacrifice to give the greatest gift she could imagine to someone who she never realized didn't want it.

And what does Junko do when she does realize it? She breaks her entire sense of self and personality just to express her love to Mukuro. She realizes Mukuro has hope and everything, and she encourages it and fosters it out of love for her. She loves Mukuro enough that, even knowing they will now be enemies, she will speak Mukuro's love language rather than her own to make Mukuro truly know how much she loves her. This scene and killing Mukuro have the same meaning, and you can only come to understand this by combining 1-6 and IF to get two contradictory perspectives in order to recognize the before-belief and the after-belief.

Junko fucking loves her so goddamn much, but Junko expresses her love in a very particular way. Despair. Remember what she said to Class 78? She loves them all. She wasn't lying about that either. It's so personalized, so direct, so cruel, because she loves them. She loves Mukuro most of all, so she granted Mukuro the most intense despair imaginable, even though it meant losing it for herself, even though that is literally her entire modus operandi. It's fucking self-sacrifice when she kills Mukuro.

The twist is that she never understood that Mukuro didn't want it. Junko can understand and learn anything, except the one thing staring her in the face. But because of her talent, she can't imagine that there's something so blatant right in front of her she's failing to understand. Mukuro meanwhile? Danganronpa Zero gives us this:

Then, looking at the face Ikusaba-san showed me, I was suddenly taken aback. The ever so emotionless face was, ecstatic and smiling. "I don‘t know if...she is attracting despair or despair is attracting her but...she has lived her whole life with despair by her side. She lived while immersed in despair. That‘s why she began looking for despair in others. She learned to enjoy pushing people into despair. But you know, that‘s normal. It‘s the same as someone being cursed by misfortune fall into hatred for those who aren‘t. But what‘s special about her was that, she learned to enjoy inflicting despair onto herself. That‘s how the link to despair began. As she chased down despair, she pushed it onto others on the way. Doing so, it caused her to desire falling into despair even more...and because of that chain to despair, the Super High School Level Despair was born." While she spoke, it was like she fell into a fever, the expressions on her face turned into ecstasy. It was so completely absurd that it would have been hard for anybody to think of it as anything but a joke, but I understood that this was real. It might‘ve been because the memories of Junko Enoshima inside me led to that conclusion. "Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..." Consumed by ecstasy, even Ikusaba-san‘s breaths began to become ragged. "Only I am able of understanding her. That‘s why she needs me. She still hasn‘t realized that but, maybe she is only pretending not to realize. Ufu, that‘s because she‘s so shy. Ufufufu." Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

They both have failed to understand each other. Danganronpa Zero came out before Danganronpa IF. So,

Ikusaba believed that she alone could understand the despair known as Junko Enoshima. It was a ludicrous notion.

Is a callback to

"Hey, you don‘t get it right? I don‘t think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it..."

Both of them are having their preconceived notions about each other shattered at the same time in that scene in IF. Because both of them just assumed they understood each other. Because of course they did. They've been linked at the hip so long, they're symbiotic. Except, no, they didn't. Because they both assumed, rather than ever actually talking and getting on the same page. And note,

Seeing this intoxicated Ikusaba-san continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn‘t have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima, but that sort of thing shouldn‘t have anything to do with me.

It was incest in 2011. Before SDR2 and IF released. It was always incest. DR3 just was going "now shut the fuck up, we've visually confirmed it for you".

So yeah, Despaircest was mutual love of equal intensity ruined by them both being arrogant dipshits who failed to get on the same page because they wouldn't just have a goddamn conversation about it because they both assumed that they would gain nothing from it because they totally already understood each other so goddamn well. It was mutual, and Junko actually really did love Mukuro just as much as Mukuro loved Junko. It turned tragic from a lack of communication.

[theamityelf]

For the naejunko soulmate vision share au how would the first face to face meeting would go would makoto try to play it cool and what would junko do would she make it very well known makoto is her soulmate or not plus during the killing game with makoto seeing the control room

Ohhh boy, great questions all around! Thanks so much for asking!

For their first face-to-face meeting, Makoto doesn't play it entirely cool, but he approaches the situation similarly to how he approached Sakura being the traitor: He treats it as something that should be discussed privately before it can be made public.

First of all, he arrives at school before Junko does, so he introduces himself to a few people before she arrives.

When everyone has showed up and the official introductions begin, I'm thinking he approaches Mukuro first, says a friendly "Hi," to her, because he's seen Junko bully her and he's felt really bad for her for a while now. (Mukuro doesn't say hi back; she looks to Junko, almost like she's asking permission to interact.)

Then Makoto turns to Junko, and he says "Hi," to her too. It's a noticeably heavier "hi". But not expressly hostile. It's basically a "We both know that I know what you've done, and we need to talk about it."

But he barely gets that syllable out before Junko is squealing, "Soulmate!" and just crushing him in a big hug. "Aww, you're even tinier in person! I could just shove you in my purse and sneak you into a movie theater like a cheap snack!"

"That would be dishonest," Taka protests. "The movie theater sets the price of concessions for a reason!"

"You two are soulmates?" Aoi says. Everyone is looking between Makoto and Junko with curiosity and interest.

"I was so, so excited when I saw your Hope's Peak letter!" Junko continues, ignoring her audience despite clearly performing for them. "I brought you a present. Close your eyes."

"Uh, Junko..." Despite the resolve he had before, now he's blushing. "This is really public. Can we talk privately?"

"Oh. Do I embarrass you?" Suddenly, Junko looks like a kicked puppy. "I'm sorry. I was just really excited!"

"It's fine. I actually got you something, too. But I don't really want our first time talking to be in front of our entire class, so maybe we could meet up at lunch or after school?"

She is going to keep trying to create an atmosphere of...absurdist romance, I guess? You know those deeply uncomfortable videos of failed public marriage proposals? That's kind of what she's aiming for. Being so high-romance that Makoto has to shut her down publicly and everyone feels not-great about it. He manages to dodge a lot of her traps by just being normal and communicating.

Likewise, Junko's every attempt to treat him like a pet or accessory fails because he isn't as easily cowed as she was expecting.

Basically, she can't quite get him to make himself "the bad guy" in front of everyone, and she also can't get him to just let himself be stepped on.

They have a weird vibe. When their morals aren't coming into conflict, they have good chemistry; he works as the straight-man to her quirky persona(s), and their soulmate seeing-through-each-other's-eyes thing means Makoto is often running to stop her from doing things and she's often popping up to back up her soulmate in his mild interpersonal incidents. (Like Yasuhiro asking to sell Makoto's organs, or Mondo getting in his face, or any kind of trouble with the faculty.) Half the people he interacts with are subjected to some kind of blackmail from Junko.

(Lowkey, one of these days I need to actually write this scenario, because it's hard to describe exactly how weird their vibes toward each other would be and how misinterpreted they'd be by most of their classmates.)

As for the killing game, he'd have to be given the full amnesia treatment, like Kyoko. Otherwise, it would take him very little time to take "I know my soulmate is Junko Enoshima" and "I occasionally see through the eyes of someone who seems to be running this killing game" and reach the conclusion that Junko is the mastermind. Especially since he's seen Mukuro's face through Junko's eyes.

With the full memory wipe, all he knows it that he sometimes sees through the eyes of someone who seems to be running the killing game. It seems to mean that the mastermind is his soulmate. That's all the information he has. (Also, he would readily admit that he doesn't remember anything, whereas Kyoko would play that closer to the chest.)

Makoto occasionally seeing inside the data center and the Monokuma Control Room and feeling confused and dismayed by the implications.

Makoto getting weirdly affectionate treatment from Monokuma.

Kyoko knows that she and Makoto both have full amnesia, but not why. Kyoko studying Makoto for any signs of duplicity.

He hasn't told anyone that the mastermind is his soulmate.

(Some of the others in class have soulmates who they suddenly don't feel a bond with, because those people died at some point in the interim. Another reason for Junko to either kill or imprison their loved ones; if they could see the world outside, they'd know about the apocalypse too early.)

Makoto slowly recovers memories of his life and his soulmate. Junko didn't become famous until after they'd been soulmates for years, so initially he remembers seeing through the eyes of a girl his age who happens to be really smart. When he sees Mukuro get impaled, he recovers a memory of his soulmate playing a game with her sister, and he feels twice as bad, but he isn't sure how those things are connected.

He and Kyoko (and to a lesser extent, he and Sayaka) get close in most of the same ways as in canon, and Junko is ruthlessly jealous.

Day 53

Alright so I’m gonna level with you. 

I REALLY wanted to do a V3 based pic for this day. However at the time I couldn’t for the life of me come up with an actual idea for it.

I think it’s because I was very tunnel visioned on specifically trying to do something with Junko Enoshima the 53rd, for very obvious reasons. This was back before I really had any opinions on Tsumugi, at that point the space she held in my brain was “Unique Antagonist that shows up semi-often in Junkan Fics.”

Which isn’t like, the best way one could view the character I can imagine. Though she had it better than Yasuke at least I didn’t even know who he was outside of occasionally appearing in these fics until like, somewhere in the first month of Project Production. I’ve never read DR0, someday though. someday. 

Anyway back to Tsumugi, mostly thanks to the local bandit, I’ve come to appreciate the character a lot more. I’m not like, an expert on the character. I'm still kind of feeling things out purely through osmosis, i’m not really an expert on nothing. However I like her a lot more than I used to, which means I have hindsight.

If I was making Day 53 right now I would probably just make some kind of art about Tsumugi being a Junkan Shipper. We’ve all given characters headcanon based on ourselves before, gender, sexuality, personal experiences, that weird clicking thing you can do with your thumb (or is that just me?), we love to impart aspects of ourselves onto these characters. 

And when the hell else am I going to headcanon such a specific fuckin’ aspect of myself such as “I ship Junkan” onto a character? It’s Tsumugi or nothing.

Honestly I’m not gonna guarantee but I might actually just make a pic based on what I’m currently thinking for a Tsumugi Themed Junkan art, and just, posted the same day as this one? If I do i’ll schedule it in advance to post like, an hour or two after this one. Enjoy the suspense of whether I actually did that or not! 

Oh, and I actually edited this image a bit. Both because I thought Junko's face just looked, bad in this. But also for reasons I'm not gonna bother getting into right now. However as a result we got this funny bit during the editing process

What if Junko was creepypasta lol . . . . . . . oh

oh god DAMMIT WAIT I LIKE THIS. Now I can't draw it until this Day gets released! DAMMIT!

A Slice of Life

[A Financial Office, Minato City, 12:39pm]

Advisor: Alright, that should be about everything...

*Two figures sit in the office of a financial advisor agency; a space cluttered with stacks of paper and a few framed certificates on the wall. A worn desk separated her from the Financial Advisor himself, a man in his late fifties. His glasses perched on the tip of his nose as he reviews the paperwork spread out before him.

Financial Advisor: So, Mrs. Tendo, it looks like you’re in a pretty good spot. You’ve been contributing steadily to your pension for years, and between that and your savings, you should have a comfortable cushion...Um...

*SNOOOOREE...*

Advisor: Um...Mrs...Tendo?

*SNOOOOOREE...*

Advisor: Mrs. Tendo!

*POP!*

Bah...!?

*The middle-aged woman sitting opposite him lazes back in her seat, having somehow entered a deep sleep at some point through the conversation. The Advisors probing wakes her up, and she rubs her eyes.

Ah...sorry...I've been losing sleep these last few nights...

Advisor: That's a shame...Were you perhaps worried about our meeting today?

Not really...It's just part of life, and I'm getting old...

Advisor: Would you...like me to repeat what I said?

No. I still heard you. You said that between my contributions and my savings, I should have a comfortable cushion...Right?

Advisor: Um...yes...but how did you-?

Comfortable. That's the word everyone uses...the goal they all assume we should strive for. But I wonder what comfort really means?

Is it just about having enough money to get by? Or is it something more, like finding a way to fill the empty hours?

Advisor: Um...Mrs. Tendo?

Ah, never mind...Like I said, I'm getting old. I'm rambling like a moron.

In any case, that's good to hear. I’ve always been a saver. My husband used to joke that I’d hide pennies under the mattress if I could.

Advisor: Well, that’s paid off. You’ve got enough to start thinking about your next chapter, whether that’s traveling or just enjoying some hobbies without worrying too much.

Hm...

You know...I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next...I mean, I'm happy for retirement and all, but...I feel like I've not got much else to do these days.

Advisor: Pardon for the personal questions, ma'am, but...do you have any family? Maybe you could spend time with them?

Nope. I used to live with my husband and my daughter...I lost both of them during the Tragedy.

Advisor: I see...My apologies, ma'am.

Psh...Don't worry about it, it's not like YOU killed 'em...

Advisor: Well, I suppose it was rather cathartic for you then when the perpetrator for the Tragedy was brought to justice.

...Why would that be?

Advisor: Huh? W-Well...

You heard about what happened up in Hiroshima not too long ago, right? That factory explosion?

Advisor: Yes, I did.

Well, rumor has it that that explosion was part of a bigger conspiracy, which is why the Future Foundation actively involved themselves in suppressing tensions. And many are saying that Junko Enoshima is back, thanks to some leaked info from inside.

Advisor: Um...

Not to mention the fact that Izuru Kamukura and Mukuro Ikusaba, and everyone else who helped Enoshima, are still out there...It's hard to be totally at peace with all these rumors...

I mean, I don't know whether to believe 'em or not, but...it doesn't do my heart any good.

Advisor: I see what you mean. But unfortunately, I'm not the right person to help dispel your beliefs or worries. You'll need a different kind of consultant for that.

Right...

My original point was...after all these years of routine, it’s hard to imagine starting fresh, you know? I’ve always been the one holding things together, keeping the house running, looking after everyone else.

Now that it’s just me, it’s…different.

Advisor: I get it. It’s a big change, and it’s not just about money. But think of it this way. You’ve built something solid here, a foundation. Now, you get to decide what you want to build on top of it. No rush, no pressure.

I suppose that’s true. Maybe I’ll give that book club a try. At the very least, it’s something different.

Advisor: I think that’s a great start, Mrs. Thompson. And remember, you’ve got options. Financially and otherwise. You’ve earned it.

——————————————————————

...

*The Saturday morning sun filtered through the canopy of trees lining the town square, casting dappled light on the stalls of the local farmer’s market. The air is thick with the scent of fresh bread, ripe apples, and earthy herbs. Hanami navigated her way through the familiar aisles, her woven basket tucked snugly under her arm.

Hey, Fushimi. You in?

Fushimi the Baker: Ah! Well, if it isn’t my best customer! I set this one aside for you, Hanami. Fresh out of the oven this morning!

*Fushimi gives Hanami a loaf of her favorite sourdough.

Heh...You know me too well. That's a bit dangerous, huh?

Fushimi: Oh come on, what kind of man do you take me for? Besides, it's not like I'm the only one who recognizes you in this part of town. So, what’s new with you? Still walking those same early morning routes?

You know me...I like to stick to what I know. Though…I did get invited to a book club the other day. Still thinking it over.

Fushimi: Now that’s something new. You should go for it! Can’t live on bread alone, right?

...But I like bread.

Fushimi: Hah! Yeah, well, me too! In case me making a profession out if it didn't make that obvious!

——————————————————————

*SNOOOORE...*

???: You really should stop doing that.

Ah!?

[aparticularbandit]

imagine your favorite fashion guru on tiktok/instagram/youtube. very good about giving all the tips, about explaining things in a way that you can follow. shows cool ways to do make-up, how to sew missing buttons or replace zippers, to add patches to punk jackets, even hair dye tips - and the best brands for your buck! and very good about stories during the whole thing; you never get bored!

then you hear about something really bad happening in her country, and the videos stop for a while. you miss her, of course, but you get it. you wouldn't upload under the circumstances either. of course, you and a bunch of her other followers leave a lot of positive comments on her last video - the one that explains why she might not be updating for a while.

months pass. every now and again you check on her channel. you're subscribed, so you'd get an email for a new video, but. just in case, you know? and sometimes you go through the old videos. they're just so comforting. you wonder how she's doing. you hope she's doing okay.

one day, you get the email that she's been active again! you automatically check it out. looks like she and a bunch of her friends from school have decided to take shelter in an abandoned school building. they've completely locked themselves in, but she assures you that everyone is going to be just fine! it's just kind of boring in there and everything. but the headmaster has given her permission to do videos again; he doesn't think it's a threat at all!

so now you get a lot of videos. daily content. not just your guru giving her normal tips and tricks, but more real life stuff. she brings in some of her friends, and they all seem really sweet. they livestream video games every now and again, and sometimes she ropes them into doing jackbox stuff so even the viewers can get involved! it's entirely different, but you're addicted. especially when she has a set time every day for her streams and then others around that! and of course, it's so great to leave comments to make everyone feel better, what with everything they're going through.

sometimes, she cries on camera. it's really, really rough. but she thanks you - all of her viewers - for being there for her through everything. it's so nice of all of you. she'd thought you would leave after everything or that the abrupt change of content would cause her to lose viewers. then she says that, you know, given everything, viewer count's not so important to her anymore. she just wants you to know that she's still here, she's still alive, and that they're all going to try and do their best to survive together.

it feels like everyone you know is following her now, tuned into her life, the lives of her friends, their struggles. it's a weird sort of thing; you all have your favorites, but you don't really hate anyone either because...those are real people on the screen. you love all of them. but you love your girl the best. she was the first. of course, you love her.

one day, the live stream starts, and it's...different.

there's a bear? and something about murder? and none of your comments are getting through to anyone anymore. and it's just the bear playing moderator? and the headmaster is...gone? and so is one of the students?

only you look closer - you know what your girl looks like, you know - and that's...that's her sister dressed up as her, you're sure of it. which means your girl is missing.

something's...something's wrong. it's weird. you don't like it, but you can't stop following it. because...well.

there's a bunch of theories. maybe it's like when markiplier did one of his movies or whatever. maybe they were just so bored that they decided to do a movie series or something like that?

and then you see one of the students murder another one on screen.

and then the bear kills your girl's sister.

and you can't look away.

(junko enoshima trends on twitter for over a month, even through the other murders.)

English version DR:THH Gameplay Log #1

⚠️ Note that this Gameplay Log contains many spoilers, not only for THH but also for the entire Danganronpa franchise.

Finally, I started playing the English version of DR:THH, which I had been wanting to do for a long time!

I've only played the original (Japanese) version, and have never seen any playthroughs of the English version. So I am very excited to see how it is translated into English!

The iOS version can be played with English text and audio, so I'll be playing the English version on the iPad and the Japanese version on the Nintendo Switch at the same time. I've only played a little bit, but there are already so many things that interest me that it will probably take me quite a while to finish it. 😅 But anyway! I would like to keep a log of translations that I find interesting. So let's start with the prologue!:

It is interesting that the EN text says, "Which makes Hope's Peak a pretty fitting name", while the JA text says, "まさに、希望の学園と呼ぶに、ふさわしい". The literal translation would be "Academy of Hope", but the EN text focuses on the name "希望(Hope)ヶ('s)峰(Peak)学園(Academy)". In fact, the name "Hope's Peak Academy" is really a literal translation, and miraculously, it works without any special arrangement. XD

By the way, the name of a school like "⚪︎⚪︎ヶ峰 " is a common name and sounds quite natural as a school name. As is often the case in other countries, the names of Japanese schools are often based on place names, and words such as "峰(peak)," "丘(hill)," "北(north)" or "南(south)" are often added to the end of the name to describe the location of the school. So I didn't have such a strong impression of the word "峰(peak)" when I was playing the original version, but it is interesting to see how well it is used in the EN version. 😄

Incidentally, the use of the term "希望の学園" in the JA text has an important meaning: the subtitle of the original version of DR:THH is "希望の学園と絶望の高校生 (Academy of Hope and High School Student* of Despair)" *It is quite difficult to decide whether it should be translated as Student or Students! I chose the singular because I think it probably refers to Junko Enoshima. So this is also the text that explains what the part of the subtitle, Academy of Hope, is about.

I feel that this English translation is now a bit inconsistent with the reality of the academy. In the Japanese version, it says that "新入生の募集などは行なっておらず(the academy does not advertise for new students)", but the EN text says "No ordinary student could enroll here." The original version is also inconsistent, as the Reserve Course was probably not initially conceived, but I feel that the EN text is a bit more incongruous.

The translation "a hopelessly average" is nice. Sorry I forgot to take a screenshot of this part in the JA text, so I don't have an image for comparison, but the original text was "どうしようもなく普通". The original text does not have a meaning related to hope, but the EN text is related to hope.

The original text here is quite quirky, so the English translation has changed the wording quite a bit. I'm not sure if this translation is very nice because I'm not sure if this translation is very nice because I'm not sure about the nuances of "I can't even say I'm your "everyday hero" type". Well, it would have been a difficult sentence to translate. (I can't really go into it because it's so hard to explain!)

Hmmmm, honestly, I am not convinced by this translation. What Makoto said here is that the fact that he has the normal idea of starting by introducing himself is in itself proof that he is a very normal person, but the EN text seems to have a completely different meaning... Perhaps it was difficult to put it into a short sentence and had to be changed significantly.

I didn't know that "前向き" translated to "gung-ho"! Was this translated as gung-ho because of the whole Danganronpa image of a gun? 🤔

------

The pronunciation (or rather the pitch) of the character's name also feels fresh in the English version! "Makoto" is pronounced almost the same as in Japanese, but "Naegi" is pronounced quite differently. I think other characters may have different pronunciations from the Japanese, so I will summarize the differences when I see the introductions of all the characters.

hi can i request for a

Future foundation Keebo andRantaro with a Brainwashed S/O? (Probably got brainwashed by junko!)

tysm!

Future Foundation! K1-B0 and Future Foundation! Rantaro Amami x Brainwashed! Reader

GN! Reader, Angst, SFW

K1-B0:

He's shocked.

He doesn't know what is this weird feeling that is stuck on his chest right now

But he's sure that he's shocked.

And perhaps, grieving.

He prioritizes giving you the attention and help you need

He despises Junko Enoshima with his whole heart, especially after what she did to you.

To his beloved S/O.

He has so many things going on in his head right now

He could explode right now

But he won't.

Because you need him, even if you don't realize it.

Because you need him by your side.

First, he commands his workers to give you the protocols to brainwashed citizens

He often see people getting that said protocols, but oh dear, he never would've thought that his lover to be one of those people.

He grieves.

He grieves so much that the whole Future Foundation saw him crying regularly.

It's not his fault if he's crying, correct?

It's Junko Enoshima's fault.

It's her fault for making you like this.

It's her fault for making his beloved like this.

K1-B0 rarely feels angered

But now, he's sure the burning desires in his heart is what people call as 'furious'

He wants Junko Enoshima dead.

He wants the hands that made his beloved like this ripped off.

The old you, was perfect to him.

Yet they brainwashed you.

"Find Junko Enoshima at all cost and bring her dead body to me."

Until your brainwashed mind is gone, he'll never be the same.

Rantaro Amami:

He's considering two things:

One, checks up on you, makes sure you're okay beside the fact that you just got brainwashed

Two, kill Junko Enoshima by his own hands.

Oh, he loves you too much to not rip apart the one that brainwashed you.

As soon as you have the protocols the brainwashed people needs, he starts to make conversations with you, despite your brainwashed mind.

Yes, your answers usually don't make any sense.

Yet, he just wants to hear your sweet voice. Even if that sweet voice of yours are saying nonsense.

He craves your beautiful voice.

And he'll definitely take down Junko Enoshima for brainwashing you.

He despises Junko Enoshima with his whole heart, he regularly gave you advices to not get too close with that terrible high school girl. Yet, she still managed to get in touch with you and even brainwashed you.

And now, he despises her even more.

He wishes for Junko Enoshima's downfall and death.

He wishes for her to be torn apart.

He wishes for her to feel incredible despair until she won't like it anymore.

He wishes for her to rot in hell.

Everyday, he visits your brainwashed self just to see your beautiful face and mesmerizing voice.

Just to calm himself.

Just to make sure he won't do anything impulsive.

For the sake of his beloved.

Sometimes, he forgot that you're not cured yet and pulled you into a hug, a hug you can't deny.

"I'll do anything, anything, to make her get tortured, to make you sane again, to make you mine again. I promise, sweetheart."

Yo! I was wondering if I could perhaps request a Yandere Nagito x Reader who happens to be Junko's little sister or smth.

This. This is the ultimate pairing

I got writer’s block in the middle so this turned out kinda weird, sorry.

Title: Almost

Pairings: Nagito Komaeda x Reader

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, spoilers, self-mutilation, self-deprecation

Summary: Nagito finds love in a very unexpected place.

“I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me”

-from “Almost” by Hozier

Nagito’s heard of you, of course. Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba’s little sister. Even the Future Foundation doesn’t know if you’re a third Ultimate Despair or a victim of your sister’s cruelty as well.

He just didn’t expect to see you here.

He had planned, ever since watching Junko’s death on TV, that he would take a part of the Ultimate Despair and attach it to him. By taking a part of Junko, he would absorb a part of her power, he hoped. He would become one with despair so he could overcome it with hope over and over again.

To be honest, even he wasn’t sure entirely why he wanted to do such a thing. Maybe he was just as obsessed with her as his former classmates. He hoped not. After all, Junko was against everything he stood for.

Nagito pushed those thoughts aside and focused on his goal. He’d have all the time in the world to consider why he so badly wanted to become one with the person he hated most later. For now, he had to go see what was even left of her body.

Hope’s Peak Academy stood proud and tall against the wrecked city- easily the tallest building that remained. The round once-deadlocked entrance was just a hole in the front of the school now, open for Nagito to walk inside.

He obliged the silent invitation, soon finding himself walking the halls of his old school. Maybe it would be nostalgic, if he could feel that sort of thing anymore. Instead, it’s a dull ache in his chest that he easily ignores.

He traversed through the school, looking for the scene he saw on his TV- the execution room where Junko had met her end. He doubted anyone had tried to move her body after the show had ended.

Sure enough, he soon spotted the machine that had crushed the mastermind. To his surprise, it was reset in the “up” position instead of down, smashing Junko’s body, like it had been left. He hurried over, worried that someone else had gotten to her before him, only to stop and stare at the girl crouching at Junko’s side.

It was you, (Y/n) Enoshima. Sister of the twin Despairs. The last living Enoshima child.

Nagito watched as you scurried away from Junko’s body, giving him a worried look. He couldn’t blame you. After all, you seemed much too sweet and pure to be an Ultimate Despair. He could tell that from just looking at you.

He sat down next to the body and pulled out a knife. It was time to get to work, to combine the Ultimate Despair with himself, a servant of hope.

Nagito began to saw through his arm, biting his lip as the pain washed over him. He tried to hold back the screams of agony, but they still escaped his mouth. Finally, the severed hand fell to the ground with a sick thud.

He grimaced as he looked down at the stump. It was sick of him to do this, but he needed to. To his surprise, a white cloth was wrapped around it immediately. He looked up and found you dutifully wrapping it around his wrist.

It must have been disgusting, as his blood soaked through the thin white handkerchief, but you still did your best with it. Nagito stared at you, heart pumping in his chest.

Oh, you were so full of hope, weren’t you? How precious, how beautiful you were! To lower yourself to care for trash like him was simply incredible!

Nagito forgot about Junko’s arm and, maybe even for a moment, he forgot about despair. 

He grasped your arm with his remaining hand and grinned from ear to ear, hyperventilating from the excitement he felt. “To think, an Ultimate Hope born from the same womb as the Ultimate Despairs!”

You looked at him, confused, but he frightened any potential words from your mouth. Nagito was crazed, creepily staring at you as though you were the answer to everything he had been searching for.

“I don’t need to combine myself with a Despair. No, no, I need to subject you, a being filled with such unimaginable hope, to my despair and watch you win, over and over again!”

[yanderehsr]

I have been thinking of this for a couple days now and I wanted to say it sooooooo. Imagine Danganronpa Characters with a reader who's just pure evil/insane. Anyways, feel free to ignore!

Sure, hope you'll enjoy😄

Trigger Warning: Yandere, Obsessive behaviour, Possessive behaviour

Nagito Komaeda: Sure he might not be evil... ok maybe he's a little evil, but he got insanity, a lot of it as well. How he will treat you is based upon if you have an ultimate talent or not, if you don't then he will hate his own crush on you, he will try to change you into his ideal partner, not this evil, talentless loser.

If you do have a talent, well in that case everything is different, Nagito worships you, it's impossible for you to do any wrong, those dead bodies wasn't because of you, it must've been someone from the reserve course.

And Nagito will accept any abuse you make him go through, as long as he gets to stay by your side he doesn't mind. You want to kill someone, wait he'll help you hide the body, even if he finds out how evil and disgusting you are, he doesn't mind, as long as he is yours he will do anything you want.

"Please, let me hide the body, that way if the police notices it, my fingerprints will be on it and then I can take the fall for you"

Junko Enoshima: This is just the spiderman pointing meme, she is probably the most disgustingly evil person you have ever seen... and you love it, I wouldn't be surprised if you two plan to destroy the world together like a pair of supervillains.

Junko enjoys seeing you just be evil, this is a girl who tries to kill her own sister for fun, she could see you torture someone and she would find it enjoyable, just don't focus too much attention on others, she doesn't like that

Junko will try to kill even you, she loves despair, not only with making others feel it, but she herself wanna feel that deliscious emotion, to feel so helpless as she kills her own lover, no matter how evil you are, this is her ultimate goal, you should fear her... or maybe not, she would probably enjoy that as well.

"What do you wanna do today, oh I know, we can kill your friends, I'll even let you do the finishing blow on them, am I not the nicest"

K1-B0/Keebo: He doesn't understand, why are you like this? What is your goal? Is there even a goal? There are so many question that he had in his mind but the one he asks is "Will you go out with me"... Ok, maybe a bit strange that a robot would ask you out but sure, why not

Keebo doesn't really understand love, sure he can feel emotions but this is new to him, on top of that he didn't really expect to fall for someone so disgustingly evil, someone who would kick puppies for funsies.

Keebo doesn't realise the diffetence between love and obsession, they feel the same for him, all he knows is that he likes this feeling. He will try to 'fix' you, maybe make you a bit of a nicer person, it's annoying for you but you can't really escape him or do anything, he is much too strong.

"I don't understand, how did you turn out this way, please tell me your entire childhood, maybe the problem is rooted there"

naejunko

they're like, equal opposites of hope and despair, Makoto was a poor boy, but he had a gift to give; He could make you see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is. he was born a normal boy with a loving family and a life filled with love and hope, but even when faced with hardships he always persevered, smiling at despair in the name of hope with a strong heart, a stronger will and a unpredictable luck even Enoshima could not grasp but it was never his luck or his brains that saved the world but he is smarter than the fandom gives him credit for. but while those helped on his journey in dr1 it was never about that what truly saved the world was his heart and his hope, the will to stand against her and go "no we won't do as you say" and inspire everyone to move towards hope, a strong will and a strong heart, perfect for her.

And Junko was a young girl, But she'd seen how the world was… there's not much i can say on her life but there's more than enough implications to speculate on the tragedy of it, and this girl with the power to understand everything, she could see how the world was, one could say it drove her crazy, in a sense, I'm being metaphorical, but she had a plan to bring it to ruin and make the world feel a fraction of what she felt inside, but while she was unreasonable she was fair in her own messed up way making sure there was a chance, that if someone could, they'd stand against her... but no one ever did till the world went to ruin, as the ones strong enough to always crumbled to her will and the ones kind enough to perished in the end, but then there was Makoto a strong heart and a strong will, he never died and never gave in he looked her in the eye and she looked back focusing trying to analyze him what makes him special what makes him great but she can't understand she just cant

"I was thinking about Makoto looking at me for that last moment. His eyes sent me a burning feeling of unease. The individual named Makoto Naegi gave me a sense of unreliability and had a weak demeanor - but in the depths of his eyes at that moment, there was an incredible strength from his very core that shook all my previous preconceptions of who this person was. He looked at me with a dazzling aura. Whether there was a problem, whether he had an unbeatable enemy, he always would have a strength so strong he could never give up. Such an unforeseeable person looked straight at me with those eyes. I don't understand how I can feel this way around such a strange, mysterious force. However, I doubt I'll ever need to know." -DR0

When she fell, she fell in spite of herself. In love with Makoto

the one person to successfully stand up against her and stop her plans, which lead her to finally be able to die knowing she was wrong about everything. but even then, he didn't want her to die he wanted her to live and help her, but die she did, and maybe it was for the best now she could no longer hurt others and herself...

but sometimes I think, maybe... if they met each other sooner... things could have been different.

the boy with a bleeding heart full of hope and the girl with a broken mind full of despair

Prologue

The Protagonist: Junko Enoshima

The world sees Junko as just a pretty face. They don't know that her true talent isn't modeling, it's analyzing trends. She's simultaneously patronized as an airhead AND totally bored by a world that's too predictable for her brilliant mind. But maybe at Hope's Peak Academy, surrounded by other great talents, she'll finally find people who truly understand her...

Alas, Monokuma has other plans when he seizes control of the school and declares the start of The Killing Game.

Chapter 1: The Cruelty of a Kind Face

Lethal Example: Sayaka Maizono

Antagonist: Aoi Asahina

Partner: Sakura Ogami

Victim: Makoto Naegi

Killer: Toko Fukawa

Junko gravitates towards the bubbly swimming pro Hina. Hina seems to genuinely be what Junko pretends to be: perky, adorable, and simple. Playing along makes Junko feel good about herself.

Beloved pop idol Sayaka Maizono immediately establishes herself as a leader. She declares that they will never kill one another or obey Monokuma, inspiring the class to reb. That is, until Monokuma uses a giant industrial press trap to literally squash their hope--and demonstrate what happens to those who disobey the school rules.

It's not long after that that the first body is discovered: poor, innocent, average Makoto Naegi, only here by chance. His body is found dead by knife wound.

During the trial, a number of factors just don't add up: testimonies contradict one another, clues are out of place, etc. it only starts to make sense once Junko realizes that Hina is intentionally misleading the class. Hina's cutesy, innocent act was so perfect that even Junko was fooled. Like a dark mirror, Hina, too, only pretends to play the innocent, but unlike Junko, she uses people's misconceptions to her benefit, amusing herself by toying with people and creating chaos. Upon realizing she's been tricked, Celeste swears she'll kill Hina for this.

All seems lost until a surprising figure rises to the occasion: Sakura Ogami. At first, Junko was suspicious of the mean-looking martial artist. But now that lives are on the line, Sakura proves an observant and insightful ally, whose patience and kind words help Junko to believe in herself and guide her towards the truth.

The culprit is revealed to be Toko Fukawa. Makoto naively approached her, seeing a kindred spirit in Toko's shy, vulnerable facade and wanting to make a connection. But Toko's paranoia and self-loathing led her to misinterpret Makoto's kindness. Surely this must be a trick. Surely he'd never like an ugly, horrible girl like her. It must be an attempt to murder her. She had to murder him first, don't you see? It is only when it is too late that Toko realizes how wrong she was, and how she murdered the first person who was genuinely kind to her...

In her execution, Toko is surrounded by shadowy puppets who are furiously scribbling mean rumors and insults at her. The "pens" are revealed as blades that tear her to shreds.

Chapter 2: The Double-edged Blade of Justice

Victim: Mukuro Ikusaba

Red Herring: Chihiro Fujisaki

Killer: Hifumi Yamada

This whole time, Junko has been avoiding her sister. She fears that their bond is too broken by past betrayal, and with their different looks, personalities, and names, no one else in class even knows they're related (except for Celeste, who puts it together and taunts Junko for being a liar)

Then Monokuma releases a motive: everyone's deepest, darkest secrets, to be revealed if a murder does not occur within the next day. Junko winces to see that her secret is how she abandoned her sister when they were young, putting her own survival in a tough family over Mukuro's and leaving her to fend for herself. As for Mukuro's secret, well, whatever it is, it shakes her to her core, and she starts behaving erratically, isolating herself and gathering weapons, and everyone suspects that she will be the next killer. Instead she turns up dead, seemingly killed by her own knife.

Meanwhile, Hifumi seems to have turned over a new leaf! Where before he was off-putting and obstructive, he's become charming, helpful, and something of a leader. He forms a particular bond with Chihiro, and many jokes are made about them being a couple.

In the trial, Junko puts the clues together that someone hacked into Monokuma's files and used their findings to blackmail Mukuro into taking her own life. It seems that after Junko left her to become a superstar, Mukuro committed horrible war crimes as part of the Fenrir Mercenary Group, and feared that if anyone learned of the blood on her hands, they would never accept her. Since only the Ultimate Programmer could accomplish such a feat, that makes Chihiro suspect #1.

Indeed, Chihiro admits to hacking the secrets but not to blackmailing Mukuro. Junko pressures Hifumi until he cracks, admitting that he took advantage of Chihiro, using the secrets himself. The pressure of the Killing Game drove Hifumi to disconnect from reality and he began viewing everything through the lens of his favorite manga: a pastiche of Death Note in which he cast himself as Light, roleplaying as a charming and competent sociopath.

As he goes to his execution, Hifumi awakens to the reality of his misdeeds and begs for forgiveness. Chihiro reaches down in sympathy, but when he goes to take Chihiro's hand, it turns out to be nothing but a flimsy cardboard cutout--only 2d-- that he breaks through, falling to his death in the chasm below.

Chapter 3: Dynamic Detectives on the case of the Occult!

Victim #1 Kyoko Kirigiri

Victim #2 Byukuya Togami

Killer: Yasuhiro Hagakure

Monokuma's motive this time is cold, hard cash. Byukuya and Kyoko laugh off this paltry motive. As the two (apparently) smartest students, they begin working together in earnest to investigate who the mastermind behind Monokuma really is.

Celeste and Junko end up in a fight as they each accuse the other of not appreciating money as a motive, since they both assume that the other has never endured real hardship. When they open up about the difficulties of their pasts, they actually start to make amends.

Byukuya and Kyoko gather everyone together to share their findings, but when the class arrives they find them both dead, strangled, with a message in blood warning of the school's curse.

The investigation and trial prove to be a comedy of errors as everyone gets paranoid about the supernatural and Hina does her best to make the ghosts and demons seem real. Sakura's cool head helps Junko see past the distractions and tension to the rational truth: that Yasuhiro used charlatan's tricks to trap and suffocate the two victims and make it look like the work of a ghost.

It seems Yasuhiro is deeply in debt and not only wanted the money, but saw the killing game as an opportunity to become a massive star: the heroic Occult Detective who faced down Death Itself. A story like that would be worth millions, but not if he gets upstaged by a couple of smart detectives in suits.

Yasuhiro's execution is an obstacle course themed after a haunted house, with whirling blades help by ghosts, fire-breathing demon heads, etc. He stumbles at the first hurdle and impales himself on a plastic skeleton.

Chapter 4: The Traitor's Note

Traitor: Mondo Owada

Monokuma reveals that he has planted a traitor among them. Accusations and paranoia tear the class apart. Then Mondo's body is discovered, torn to shreds, identifiable only by his clothes and pompadour. It appears that the traitor left a threatening message at the scene of the crime.

Junko's investigation reveals that Mondo himself was the traitor. Before the Killing Game started, Mondo was insecure in his position, afraid he would never live up to his brother's legacy, and surrounded by rivals vying for head of their gang. The Mastermind offered to make his rivals disappear if he agreed to lure his classmates into the Killing Game and assure everything went according to their plan. Seeing the pain he'd caused, Mondo killed himself out of guilt, and Hina staged the body and the note.

Everyone's getting real tired of her shit about now.

Chapter 5: Liars Prosper

Victim: Aoi Asahina

Fall Guy: Celestia Ludenberg

No one is buying Hina's peppy, innocent schtick anymore. They decide to hold her prisoner in the pool's locker room so she can't cause any more trouble--only to shortly thereafter find her drowned in the pool.

Junko finds herself torn between her analytical talent and her heart. All the evidence points to Celeste being the culprit: she had the opportunity, she left physical evidence at the scene of the crime, and she publically fought with and threatened Hina on multiple occasions. But you see...

Celeste and Junko hated each other on sight. They were like oil and water. But what they discovered over the course of the game was that they understood one another in a way that no one else did. Although their personas could not be more different, at their cores they were both girls who became what they needed to in order to survive. And beneath that, they craved genuine connection: a person who accepted the real them. And they found that in one another.

Celestia swears that she did not kill Hina, but of course no one believes her, because she is the Queen of Liars. Junko's word alone is not enough to save her. Her execution is, fittingly, being burned at the stake in a witch-hunt.

Chapter 6: Final Match of the Killing Game Tournament

Mastermind: Sakura Ogami

Survivors: Junko, Taka, Leon, Chihiro

Junko believes so sincerely that the last trial was falsely concluded that she challenges Monokuma to relitigate it. If she can prove that Celeste was innocent, was executed in error, then the Mastermind must reveal themselves and end the game.

Junko investigates, but what she finds is deeply troubling. The only person who could have killed Hina was the one they all trusted without question: Sakura Ogami, who had been set to watch over her, and who claimed to have been tricked by Celeste into leaving her post.

Sakura admits that Hina had tearfully confessed to her before she died. Hina felt remorse for having manipulated and hurt her friends. As much as she hated being underestimated and talked down to, she realized that she couldn't hold these people personally responsible for all her past pain and disappointment. She said that she admired Sakura's straightforwardness, her insight, her calm acceptance of reality and wanted to be like her. She swore she's so everything in her power from now on to bring down the Mastermind. So Sakura killed her.

And why had she done all this? Why did Sakura Ogami orchestrate the Killing Game? Simple: she believes in the purpose of Hope's Peak Academy but believes that they do not live up to their ideal. They coddle their students' idiosyncrasies, letting their potential languish. The Killing Game is a whetstone on which to hone one's talent. Whoever wins must surely be The Ultimate Hope.

And isn't Junko the proof of that? After all, Sakura guided her all along, helped her bring her Ultimate Analyst Talent to new heights, breaking through every barrier, solving every case. And by exposing her, Junko had at last bested Sakura, too.

Sakura went honorably to her execution after being exposed as Hina's true killed, enduring each of the previous executions in turn.

The survivors--Junko, Leon, Chihiro, and Taka--leave the school, free but forever changed by Sakura's parting words, no longer believing in the ideal of Hope's Peak, but finally trusting and understanding one another.

This was really fun! Curious if anyone else would want to give something like this a try or if I should do the other games in the future.
