I think I realized why the Project Eden's Garden execution affected me more than the Danganronpa executions.

It's the emotion.

Looking back, the Danganronpa executions don't have a lot of emotion. Sure, you're horrified but the expressions are kinda...

Leon is freaking out but you only get glimpses of his face once the execution starts going. I always thought that dizzy expression on Mondo's face was goofy. Celeste had a smile on her face and you don't see her when she actually dies. I can't tell what expression Alter Ego has cause the screen is too small and obscured by the carnage. Kyoko and Naegi are probably the most emotion we get in an execution cause the focus is on their expressions. Junko is... Junko.

Teruteru's expressions are goofy by default and the execution is no exception. Peko starts to cry before her execution but acts calm (for lack of a better word) during it. Mikan is... Mikan. Gundham faces his death head on with a smile. Chiaki tries to escape but ends up waiting quietly.

Kaede gets silly dizzy eyes. Kirumi lets out a scream (and she is actually my favorite execution to describe to people who don't know the series). Shinguuji is another one who gets a lot of focus on his expression. We do not talk about Gonta's execution. Kaito died with a smile on his face. Kiibo went out in a blaze of glory. And Tsumugi gave everyone a final wave goodbye.

What's one thing that didn't show up? Crying. We didn't see anyone cry as they died. But that's what we get in Eden's Garden. The culprit is crying as the execution continues. There's no determined expression, there's a scared teenaged crying, probably still begging to live. We just can't hear them over the music. There's no cutaway from their face. Instead we see the last look of horror on their face as they take the final fall.

The execution just feels so much more visceral than Danganronpa. This isn't an Ultimate trying to face death with dignity only to get that chance ripped away by a stuffed bear. This is a scared child (I'm 31 they're all children to me) who was never given a chance at dignity in the first place.

Rating Project: Eden's Garden ships (spoilers for CH1)

Disclaimer: Ships are meant to be fun and I find the Eden's Garden cast to be very shippable, so any ship that does not involve Toshiko is fine in my books!

Damon x Eva (Evamon): I don't care as much for them romantically as I do platonically, but Damon's comments about Eva tear my soul apart. Perhaps under different circumstances, their relationship could have evolved. 6.5-7/10

Damon x Desmond (Maithall): Honestly I love these two! Damon sees Desmond as "the only other normal person here" and their interactions could be interperted as Damon having a little bit of a crush on him ("Desmond's remarkable charm", etc. etc.). Not my no. 1 ship for either of him, but it's my og ship and I hope their dynamic evolves more! 8.5/10

Diana x Eva (Diava/Evana): On one hand... toxic yuri. On the other... not a fan. Nope. 2/10

Wolfgang x Grace (Wolfgrace): I like them, I wish we could have seen more of them. I think they are the first pairing I shipped when I played the prologue. Their personalities were total opposites in a way that made them compatible. I'm probably going to ship them more in the next chapter tbh, when I see how Grace is dealing with it. 8/10

Desmond x Ulysses: I've seen the ship exclusively on tiktok. Whilst I personally aren't too crazy about it, I can't deny it's cute! 6.8/10

Damon x Kai (Kaimon): My OTP, it's one of the most popular ships in the fandom for a reason (though I do feel basic about it hehe). I love them so so much!!! 28/10

Mark x Jett (What's their ship name??): They are so silly, though I can't tell if Mark is enjoying the company or not... Hm. 7/10

Wenona x Ulysses (Wenysses? Ulynona?): Didn't expect them, but they are a welcome surprise none the less!! I'm glad to see Wenona interacting positively with another character. I don't know if I prefer them as romantic or platonic, but I enjoy their pairing nonetheless! 7.5/10

Desmond x Eloise (Desloise): My second favourite ship from the game!! I love these two so so much, their characters fit together so seamlessly, like a glove to a hand!! 10/10

If I don't mention a specific ship you like from the game, feel free to ask for my opinion through the comments, reblogs or ask box!

Wolfgang Akire + MILGRAM - HARROW

ID in alt text

While I feel this is a very surface level observation, not even really an analysis of any sort, I think what really draws me in either DianEva as a dynamic is how little there is to go off of in a sense? What’s so interesting is the fact it’s almost entirely one-sided on Diana’s part. Eva and Diana parallel Damon and Kai, but the thing whereas Damon is slowly beginning to be more trusting and value his fellow ultimates more, Eva is so preoccupied with her insecurity and the assumption that all her peers are against her. Diana so badly wanted to be there for Eva, to not be like everyone else and actually include her in the group, to be her friend, someone she can be herself around. And yet Eva was too closed off, the shell she hid herself behind was too thick, too dense to realize and accept Diana's earnest attempts at companionship. I think what's so interesting about it all is their dynamic is very much a what if, not even strictly because Eva is dead, because I feel even if she didn't die there would still be this distance between them, it's really interesting to think what if Diana finally broke that shell of hers, what if they actually got to have a reciprocated connection...

Close ups under the cut vv

chapter 1 spoilers (victim + trial)

he's haunting the narrative for the rest of the game

[an1muuarts]

(my thoughts copypasted from my comment on reddit)

hmm. i'll try approaching this from the animal motifs the characters have.

cats and snakes are natural enemies. which is why cats are always so afraid of cucumbers or other tube-like objects because it reminds them of snakes. and fun fact: in terms of reflexes, cats are faster than them. in a sense, cats are superior to snakes.

maybe this illustration shows that damon longs for the time where he had nice, or even just agreeable relationships in the past. which is interesting, because to befriend cats, you have to be patient and understanding with them. but as we see in the prologue and ch1, he seemed to be socially stunted. maybe in his life of being the ult debater he forgot.

i may be reaching, but shed snake skins usually have a white/yellow color. sometimes, they may experience difficulty shedding their skin, but usually over time, the skin becomes more frail so they can shed on their own. however, in cases where a snake cant shed their own skin, is usually because of the environment. and if they cant shed, they become malnourished and possibly die.

PROJECT: EDEN'S GARDEN CHARACTER TIER LIST FOR CHAPTER 1 (AND PROLOGUE)

[tk-3da]

Project Eden's Garden chapter 1 possible plot hole? (SPOILERS!!!)

Chapter 1 Spoilers under cut:

I haven't seen people talk about this (probably because I am blind) but, am I the only one to notice the huge time discrepancy in chapter 1's murder plot? And even if you can explain that, I believe there is an even bigger plot hole.

Time discrepancy:

So, as indicated by Mark's dj pad, the generator exploded (as inmediate consequence of the battery being dropped) at 9:35. Yet Diana was cited to the boiler room at 8:45. So... what's with the time gap? Did the Diana and Wolfgang's interaction take 50 minutes? Did Diana arrive late, and I mean, very very late?

I know the murder didn't happen just when she entered, as Eva was probably waiting for Wolfgang to harm her in some incriminatory way but... 50 minutes, really?

Ok then, let's assume Diana arrived, i don't know, 35 minutes late and her exchange with Wolfgang was about 15 minutes long, okay? Tehre is still a huge problem.

Eva the teleporter:

So, part of the murder plan was to lock Diana with Wolfgang in the boiler room, but either I missed something or this couldn't have actually happened.

Let me explain: Eva was at the game tournament when Diana entered the boiler room. This is a fact, it is in fact the whole point of the argument altercation at the ened: "How could Eva know ehen Diana entered the boiler room if she was in the tournament?". Using her tablet she obtained from the traitor perk, from the tournament, a place she didn't leave until they descended to the storage rooms to find the spare generator, a time in which she was always accompanied. Then when did she locked the boiler room?

It couldn't have been before Diana entered because, well, she couldn't have entered then. But after Diana entered, Eva didn't leave the boiler room, in fact she was in the tournament when Damon and Kai went there at 8:30-ish, and Diana was cited later than that.

So let's say then that Diana arrived on time, Eva locked her immediately and then when to the tournament asap, and that Damon and Kai arrived after that, at 9. Then (apart from most things not making much sense like, Diana and Wolfgang's altercation happening when the speakers weren't on, as Eva herself made sure Mark's equipment wasn't on until she arrived) we go back to the aforementioned time discrepancy.

I'm onto something here?? Have I missed somehing and I am fumbling? I don't know, I just wanted to share this because this project is being absolutely incredible, and the engagement level is on the roof. But yeah, I am confused.

[ultimafangirl]

I watched some Project Eden's Garden gameplay and watched the death scenes.

And... I dunno if I'll be able to play this game. Like, my mom and I were talking earlier about how she thinks I can't handle certain things and that she wants me to be interested in things that are less *waves vaguely at danganronpa*.

I told her that I know my limits. I know what I can handle.

I played Danganronpa, I played Your Turn to Die. I read Battle Royale. I handled those just fine.

But something about the deaths in Eden's Garden just gave me this feeling that I couldn't explain.

[kaisturntoshine]

Oh?

I can share my theory

Get ready for me to open the floodgates lol

(spoilers for chapter 1)

So

Here's my theory

Kai is going to be our investigation assistant going forward now that Eva is dead

"but he was resistant to investigating in both the prologue and chapter 1!" I hear you saying

But with how much Kai and Damon bonded in chapter 1 (no matter how unwillingly it happened, they still *bonded*), Damon is going to need someone he trusts, no matter how much he denies it, the first person he trusts *throws him under the bus for her murder and is then brutally executed herself*, humans are very social creatures, we will littrally go crazy if we don't trust people, I know Kai is no kyoko in the smarts department, but he isn't *dumb* (remember when he told Damon that the potential killer who ran by the closet took off their shoes so that they wouldn't be able to tell the killer because of everyone wearing different shoes? Damon didn't come up with that! Kai did! And you need *some* smarts to be a content creator)

It's like he's going to be the Watson to Damon's Sherlock Holmes, someone who Damon can tell his thought process to, to explain it to the audience how he reached his conclusion, but smart by themselves

Kai was WAY too prevalent in chapter one for him to go back to a background character

At least, that's my thought process

Like, he casually revealed game changing stuff in his ftes, like the fact his *EVERYTHING ON HIS STUDENT PROFILE IS A COMPLETE LIE!*

Why is it just Kai? Who made the student profiles if they got his so wrong?

Flips what we assume about the student profiles on their head

Ough

Tell me what you think :]

I'll tell you what I think: I think great minds think alike because this is *exactly* what I think will happen (as you'll see in my analysis).

Describing the relationship between Damon and Kai in regards to the cases as Sherlock and Watson is literally perfect.

The first part of my analysis is actually about every instance something Kai has said has contradicted the information we've been given about him!! I saw his FTE and was so surprised at how casually that was revealed because it feels so important?!

The second part thus far has been about his contribution in the trials, so you can bet I took notice of the shoe thing!!

Overall I'm hoping we're both on the right track because I would love for Kai to be the support (and from a writing standpoint it does make sense). I also hope that you'll enjoy my analysis on him, when it does come out (hopefully soon!!).

Thank you so much for sharing your theory with me and, again, sorry for neglecting to properly respond right away!!
