caught off guard by your favorite song, i’ll be dancing at a funeral

[lemonynuggets]

🌟🤝🌹 for the yttd ask game

YAYY

🌟Who is your favorite yttd character?

it’s probably obvious but Shin!! I relate a lot to him. Sighh

🤝Which character in yttd would you trust the most?

Considering I’m one of the participants and just met everyone I’d say Gin or Reko i think…

🌹Kanna route or Shin route?

Not sure if I’m supposed to say which route I took or which one I like the most so I’ll just say both

I actually watched a playthrough of yttd before playing it because I didn’t know there was a free version so technically I didn’t pick one first… the playthrough did Kanna route so when I played it myself I did Shin route!!

and for as much as Kanna’s route is a lot more hopeful and doesn’t kill one Yabusame sibling and I love Kanna I think I like logic route better

as previously mentioned, I relate to Shin a lot so seeing his memory, him meeting Midori and the Shin AI, reading the test data book and also the way his behavior changes in the chapter compared to 1 and 2 makes me so ill, and I also like Ranmaru going a little insane edge lord style, it’s very interesting. To me

And I personally have beef with the way Kanna reacts to Shin’s death on her route… Nankidai where is the grief… she’s a kid that just went through lots of trauma that included seeing two siblings die she can’t just be fine like that…

the yabusame siblings and drums

okay i will stop posting long ass incoherant rambles about them that no one sees when they get OUT OF MY BRAIN.

drumming and drums are such a huge symbol for their ENTIRE relationship. the whole thing. i mean yeah, obviously, the bongos. but also alice was the drums in samurai yaiba. literally AND metaphorically (okay this all might be a bit of a stretch but hear me out on this one)

drums are CRUCIAL to a song. they are make or break i think. and yet they're sort of, almost background instruments. they support the melody, without actually adding anything to it (obviously there are exceptions to this, but im talking generally here). and when on stage they are very often LITERALLY in the back. like stage position wise, they are further back. and yet they are still crucial. and this i think speaks volumes to alice's role in the band because, yeah even though he can't play the drums, his presence is crucial both musically and technically. and it also speaks volumes to alice's role in reko's life: in the background, but THERE. there and crucial. they aren't really that close during the samurai yaiba era, reko is completely apathetic to him and he stays mostly out of her way. but he's THERE and that's what's important.

and obviously i have to mention the bongos. he gave those to her, as a gift, and also to replace the ones she lost YEARS ago. his attempt to repair something that had already been broken for a very very long time. and reko never plays them. she almost throws them out but she doesn't. again: drums, background, crucial.

and then when alice is arrested, reko loses herself. she loses her music. her drum (literally and metaphorically) is gone. she no longer has that support, she doesnt have that background presence anymore. and the melody is getting out of sync because there's no beat to keep it in line and is this metaphor getting confusing? whatever. alice's arrest makes her unable to make the same music she used to.

but then she starts playing the bongos.

she joins a new band, and in this band she is playing the bongos. she is the drummer. she is becoming what alice couldn't be because he was in jail. she is becoming that supportive background presence in her own life because who else is going to? and the fact that these drums were a gift to her from alice make this so much more painful.

AND ALSO. in game, her relationship with alot of the younger cast (particularly kanna and gin) is that of an older sibling. AGAIN. SHE IS BECOMING WHAT ALICE COULDN'T BE!!!!!!!! BECAUSE HE WAS IN JAIL!!!!!! she becomes warmer, more compassionate, alot like alice was when they were younger because she misses him and she misses the role he played in her life. so she fills his shoes. she plays his drums.

okay sorry about that i had to bring drums back into this.

and im not even going to GET INTO the bongo scene right now.

also, lil disclaimer, i am not a musician so i dont actually know alot about drums. take this with a grain of salt

[datastate]

Which one of the currently released yttd mini-episodes is your favorite? Why? (via)

hm-hm... if i'm honest? i would have to say sara's because:

1) it presents the sonobenos' friendship openly. i've always been curious to see how sara balanced her friendships with both of them - on my first playthrough, i was actually under the impression ryoko went to a different high school simply due to the fact that she hadn't yet/sparsely met with joe until their date.

and 2) it fulfills a theoretical that sara's shown to be tortured by, and likely will be until the end -- if there was any possible way to save joe, and if escaping with him would be worth the pain wrought upon others. it's fascinating to see her reaction/reasoning for distancing herself from joe as juxtaposed to kai's. i remember getting to the line of sara referencing darkness within herself almost verbatim for kai's lines in ytts. it's a mindset that's consistently reinforced with mr. chidouin and with personal events that inevitably prop up this intense guilt. seeing sara escape after establishing how quickly she can spiral under this weight is just... so interesting to me, and does really well in establishing how this affects her normal life even before something so devastating.

...well, all that, as well as having a fun minigame :'P

but! i feel as if it may be too predictable to say as much, so i will say that the yabusame's minisode was an immediate favorite upon initial release, and certainly raised much higher above the other three personally.

(i enjoy seeing more of anzu, though it was disappointing to see some notes on her character dismissed; and as for kurumada, but i do find some difficulty with the consistent assertions of aggression (although i realize nankidai does provide reasoning for it + appreciate his mirror to keiji's story); and as for kai's with asunaro's... i enjoyed confirmation kai does confide some tales of asunaro to mr. chidouin, that level of trust, but i feel as though a lot of asunaro's secrecy was lost in this minisode and it'd be better fit for after the base game is finished. i realize i'm someone who tends to feast on subtext, though i do feel that presenting what happened with the satous on a silver platter has somewhat spoiled how people view them + messed with ranger's significance... but i digress. i did still enjoy these ones, after all)

in any case!! similar to the sonobeno's friendship, i've always been curious to see more of how the yabusames used to behave around each other until the murder. it's easy enough to speculate, of course, with fake reko's values, but i remember replaying that one cutscene at the very beginning of 2-2 because it just. completely dug at my heart knowing what became of them.

what i didn't expect, however, was getting to see alice's own feelings toward music - i know in hindsight it should've been expected, due to the nature of their work, but i was pleasantly surprised to see how it actually touched on his feelings of inadequacy by comparison & yet... reko's always been kind in her own way and insisted on teaching him, or inviting him to listen, and valued his input even if it was inaccurate in a technical sense. she was sharing a passion with him, and that's why she was so heartbroken when he willingly cut himself away from it, from her, despite her best efforts to uplift/encourage him to try again.

it's just...!! ahh it confirmed a lot of what i already expected while building upon it and just. enhancing what alice has already divulged of who he assumes reko to be. there's always been a bit of underlying remorse after the bongo scene, but properly getting to see how deep this guilt runs is <3 + the symbolic sense of the drums split in two, but rather than again accepting he's incapable of repairing it, he still tries because this is his - their - last effort ... i don't know. they get to me. i really love thinking about the yabusames.

What The YTTD Cast Would Do For Alice’s Birthday

Sara Chidouin - Sara lets Alice tag along with her to the mall. Sara shows Alice all the small shops that have good things but are overlooked. Alice is thrilled to have these new stores available to him. 

Joe Tazuna - Joe gets Alice a striped scarf for his birthday. He learns the hard way that Alice will only wear horizontal stripes and thinks vertical stripes should be a crime. When Alice see’s that Joe is obviously disappointed that his present didn’t go over well, he feels bad and tries to wear the scarf to make Joe feel better. Alice can only wear it a few seconds before he can’t take the fashion atrocity any more.  

Gin Ibushi - Gin lets Alice hold Mew-Chan for an entire ten minutes. 

Keiji Shinogi - Keiji and Alice share a drink together and talk about their distaste for the justice system. 

Reko Yabusame - Reko invites Alice to preform with her just like the good old days. The blast of nostalgia and time spent with his sister is the best gift Alice receives.  

Nao Egokoro - Nao paints a picture of Alice and Reko as a gift. Alice nearly cries despite his best attempts to hide his emotions. 

Kazumi Mishima - Mishima offers to give Alice free painting lessons so everything in his life can be striped. Alice is quick to jump at the offer. 

Q-taro Burgerberg - Q-Taro takes Alice to one of his games and they go out for dinner at a diner afterwards. 

Kai Satou - Kai makes Alice’s favorite breakfast food and brings him breakfast in bed. 

Kanna Kizuchi - Kanna attempts to find out what type of person Alice is into so she can set them up on a date. Alice won’t give her a straight answer because he finds the idea of a blind date weird. Kanna is disappointed because she just knew Alice would be perfect with (whoever you ship him with.)

Shin Tsukimi - Shin finds Alice in the living room when the day has almost ended. It’s clear Alice is mentally exhausted from having so much attention turned his way all day, so Shin just sits in a comfortable silence with him as they find a show to watch together. It’s in Alice’s top three gifts. 

Dolls

Ranmaru Kageyama - An apology. 

Naomichi Kurumada - Naomichi gives Alice some cash for hair dye. He knows how expensive it is to keep up with such bright hair colors. 

Anzu Kinashi - Anzu tries to juggle for him which ends with her accidentally dropping one on his head. Alice isn’t mad at all, and asks if she’ll teach him how to juggle to make up for it. 

Mai Tsurugi - Mai makes Alice any kind of dessert he wants with any recipe he wants. 

Shunsuke Hayasaka - Shunsuke awkwardly offers Alice some free medical supplies from his work. Alice takes them awkwardly. They don’t know each other super well. 

Hinako Mishuku - Hinako pretends like she doesn’t care about the others birthdays, but she slips a birthday card under his door before the day ends.

ruby naoreco's YTTD research log

i have played yttd chapter 3 part 1B almost five times and each time it has chipped off more of my mental wellbeing. here are a lot of tidbits i’ve found along the way! 

(BE WARNED, THIS IS LONG. it’s also written under the assumption that readers have played at least once)

SPOILERS FOR YOUR TURN TO DIE: CHAPTER 3, PART 1-B!!! 

FIRST, SOME MYTHBUSTING:

the yabusames always die when you’re on shin’s route, sadly! even if you fail the conduit puzzle that gets ranmaru killed, his collar only goes off right after he’s killed your sibling of choice

kurumada is always saveable provided you don’t take too long to reconcile with maple! the route will progress pretty the same if you mess it up; it’s just when the dolls are about to go back in their coffins that his body finally gives in, and even then it’s said that he could still be saved

notably, these are the only two dolls with delayed deaths! the other dolls you can kill across 3-1 as a whole just die instantly

NEXT, THE BANQUET AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE DOLLS:

depending on your choices of coffin: hayasaka, kurumada or mai can be your surviving doll! namely:

hayasaka if you pick a coffin without a hint on your first shot, and a coffin without a hint on your second shot

kurumada if you pick the coffin with the hint on your first shot, and a coffin without a hint on your second shot

mai if you pick a coffin without a hint on your first shot, and then go back to the first hinted coffin on your second.

(if mai survives, qtaro will show relief in his doll reveal that both gin and mai got out. in the same vein, if she dies in the second maple fight, her final words are her apologizing to qtaro. what a fatal stabbing will do to a mf!)

anyways, the other dolls have no such privileges: hinako has to die for it to be revealed that she’s a human, midori always kills anzu when you bargain for more time to save gin, and you always shoot ranmaru’s coffin after

therefore, it’s possible to have a run where you kill every single doll. for the dead ones, their bodies are just placed in the coffin! (note that anzu and hayasaka are alive by default if you start a save by part, so you’d need an existing save where they died.)

the less characters are alive, the easier the banquet is, as important statements just get passed on to other survivors and there are less to sift through! but it’s pretty lonely. no doll says goodbye if there’s nobody left :(

SOME OTHER BANQUET OBSERVATIONS:

alice is the one who points out what his first trial was (only on an alice+kanna route, obviously). he’s very regretful about killing the real hinako, as he had just walked out of the room without thinking about it, and calls himself “the worst” because of it </3

idk if anyone had the heart to try but i forced myself for science: you physically can't kill gin when you have the final choice between him and midori, keiji tells you not to do it

generally if you make a choice that's not advisable you're forced to change your decision to something specific! so don’t worry if you’re not keeping track of choices for the most part

GAME OVERS:

as most of your minigame failures kill dolls instead of sara, there are only two you can get in this part! they are:

if you take too long to get the ID out of maple before you have to reconcile as a team, she unleashes an attack that causes some debris to fall on sara’s head and then she dies.

if you have too many gravity increases in the locker lantern puzzle, sara is pulled to the ceiling as she tries to reach for gin and she dies. (it’s unclear if gin does too, but...)

both of these have a special CG, which you can find on the wiki if you’re curious

and now for some less important but still fun tidbits!

THE SHIN AI:

if anyone was too suspicious to try midori’s fake ID, that’s alright! all it does is show you screen upon screen of shin smiling towards the camera because midori’s a freak

this embarrasses both shin and the shin AI greatly, and on his route you can point out that they’re good pictures. he goes “...gh...” if you do he’s very embarrassed.

kanna is just relieved that it’s a good trap. which it technically is that time, as nobody is in the locker room, and also those pictures are really cute

YANDERES RUINED MY LIFE:

if ranmaru dies by explosion on shin's route, his last words are about how he wanted to win with sara; on kanna's route it's him being confused and horrified and trying to explain that he didn’t betray them... before it blows his sheepy head into smithereens

did you know the fucked up and evil ransara scene doesn’t happen on kanna’s route and there’s a cg of sara crying instead? did you know there’s a fucked up evil ransara scene on the shin route? i just think that difference is interesting because it sets up what ranmaru does after he locks keiji up

i also think it's interesting how in kanna's route, it's ranmaru who points out that keiji escaped from the coffin after sara signs the consent form, but in shin's route he objects enough where shin asks why he doesn't want sara to have hope

LITERALLY USELESS INFO BUT THESE ARE FUNNY:

if you say maple has bad taste while you’re trying to get info out of her, maple chides you because there are some stuff you shouldn’t say and then ranmaru tries to save the situation by saying “s-so what if others don’t understand?! love, uh... it’s just like that... right...? ᶦ ᵍᵘᵉˢˢ...ˀ”

each person has a unique line for if they pass out during the conduit puzzle; i assume sara’s is a little more in-depth given she’s the one you play as, but i’ve only tested it with her and hinako

there are seven different lines of ranmaru struggling if you select to not press the switch while he’s hoisting sara up. his last one “sara...! hurry...!”, repeats after you hear it the first time

if you wait it out enough when you’re going up the elevator to floor 5 with keiji, he starts to fall asleep, wonders what he’s waiting for, and then your only option is to go up

if you say you want to get miso soup from the drink machine with shin, he gets excited, and then gets angry when he finds out there isn’t any. he’s like “i’m gonna get corn potage you can have hot water or something :/”

with kanna, if you say not to get drinks, sara says it isn’t the time and kanna is like :’( “r-right... ᶜᵒᶜᵒᵃ...” and sara relents

anzu’s coffin goes through so much. if it isn’t crushed by her death in 3-1A it gets crushed when maple explodes on it

on a kanna route, both alice and reko can sing the song they used to sing together as kids at kurumada’s request! it’s so 💖💖💖💖

One thing you wish would happen/had happened with either of the Yabusame siblings (or both, your choice!)

Alice

There's a simple, obvious answer here so I should start with that: I wish that Nankidai made it a little more obvious in the main storyline that Alice is a trans man. The hints are there (mostly in the side game), and I'm not saying he has to spell it out for us, but I do get the sense that he could have done a more sensitive job? I'm cis and American so I don't have that valuable of a perspective on what could be done better. But...it still feels technically more like a headcanon than canon that Alice is trans, even though I want to believe that it's Nankidai's intention? (Like, he's retweeted fanart of explicitly trans Alice which makes me so happy!) I'm not trying to come down hard on Nankidai about this; I'm honestly very grateful to him.

I also keep thinking about how Alice is so, so tragic. He's a convicted murderer who wants to atone and reconnect with his sister, and then Rio Ranger kills him in the cruelest way possible. Even if Alice doesn't die, he has to live with his sister's death, and he can't handle that heavy burden so he gives into the temptation of Safalin's forgetfulness machine. The only way to achieve some semblance of happiness in his arc is if you tried to help him return Reko's bongos, which triggers the scene in which Alice can smile at Reko before dying.

I don't know if or how I would change any of that, since Alice's vulnerability and tragedy is important to both the group's dynamic and the plot. I just know that Alice's suffering hurts in a way the others don't. Because I start thinking about the way societies hurt real trans people instead of just thinking about a fictional character. Again, I don't know what I would change, because this story's setting is a Death Game so of course it's going to be tragic. And I genuinely like the game's social commentary about how the characters' age, gender, and social standing seems to affect their chances in the Death Game. I think that's all compelling. 

But it still hurts with Alice. Alice is one of YTTD's most fun and lovable characters and I'm incredibly affectionate of him. I'm grateful that Nankidai created him, but aahhh...I don't know what the right thing to do is, or if there is one.

Reko

I love Reko so much?? It's hard to think of anything I'd change about her! When I tried describing these characters to my sister, I said that Reko was the one "I agree with 99% of the time." 

I suppose the number one thing I want for Reko in Chapter 3 (and this goes for Alice too, obviously!) is that I hope Nankidai gives her something interesting to do. She's furious about Nao, and she has every right to be curious about Midori. (The one time I didn't agree with Reko was when she said she wanted to use the gun to kill Midori haha, since obviously that would have put the dummies in danger. But I LOVED that she paralleled Alice in that moment! And I think it's a great character moment for her, that she could be so righteously angry!)

This response is already long and honestly very sad so I'll leave it at that. Anyway, the Yabusame siblings are very dear to me. Thank you for asking me about them.

yuo are so lovely sir....

[toraz1yal]

i ran out of space so its not ""Technically"" CANON canon but. its canon. i dont care. (and also reko canon as well if we follow that)

YES EXACTLY trans yabusame siblings rights

[qtaroburgerberg]

i decided to write down the casts kanji! there’s some other name-based trivia in here too, but the main focus is just informing yall of what the kanji mean. i havent written down the WHOLE cast because that would take a while and i doubt they have many fans, but ive added the entire main cast + one or two characters below the cut.

there are some spoilers for 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2 beneath the cut!

--

Sara Chidouin: 千堂院 紗良 (Chidouin Sara) 千: Thousand 堂: Public chamber, hall 院: Institution, temple, mansion, school

紗: Gauze, gossamer 良: Good, pleasing, skilled

Jou “Joe” Tazuna:  田綱 丈 (Tazuna Jou) 田: Rice field, rice paddy 綱: Hawser, rope, cord, cable

丈: Length, measure, all (one has), merely

Joe’s name is kind of inconsistent in romanization because the kanji in his first name is pronounced “Jou,” but all of the in-game files refer to him as “Joe.” VGperson addressed this by having everyone call him Joe but having Miley call him Jou, since that’s technically his actual name.

Keiji Shinogi: 篠木 敬二 (Shinogi Keiji) 篠: Bamboo grass 木: Tree, wood

敬: Awe, respect, honor, revere 二: Two

A fun bit of trivia is that “Keiji” is also the Japanese word for “Detective,” albeit with different kanji (刑事 as opposed to 敬二).

Kanna Kizuchi: 木津池 神奈 (Kizuchi Kanna) 木: Tree, wood 津: Haven, port, harbor, ferry 池: Pond, cistern, pool, reservoir

神: Gods, mind, soul 奈: Nara, what? 

These are also the first two characters in “Kanagawa” which is a prefecture in Japan. Might be relevant, might be nothing?

Q-Taro Burgerberg: バーガーバーグ Q太郎 (Burgerberg Q-Taro) バーガーバーグ: This is just Burgerberg written out phonetically. Bāgābāgu. It’s written in katakana, which signifies it’s foreign.

Q: It's a Q. What do you want from me. 太: Plump, thick, big around 郎: Son

It should also be noted that 太郎 (Tarou / Taro) is considered a super boring name in Japan. 

There’s also a chance that “Q-taro” is a reference to Jotaro Kujo from JJBA. Apparently there’s an arc where he uses “Qtaro” as an alias? I got this bit from TVtropes so it might not be totally accurate.

There’s ALSO the added pun of it being a reference to barbeque. In the notes that have all the percentages, Q-taro is listed as “B.B Q太郎” in the Japanese version.

I think the takeaway you should be getting from this is that Q-taro’s name is fucking ridiculous.

Sou Hiyori: 日和 ��� (Hiyori Sou) 日和: Perfect weather. Individually, 日 (hi) means “Day,” or “Sun” and 和 (yori) means “Harmony” or “Peace.”

颯: Quick, suddenly. Sou is a pun on "Uso" which means "Lie" though.

Reko Yabusame: 八分雨 澪子 (Yabusame Reko) 八: Eight 分: Part, minute of time 雨: Rain

澪: Water route, shipping channel 子: Child. Also a common feminine ending for Japanese names. Think "Ette"

Reko’s name is romanized pretty inconsistently between “Reko” and “Reco”, but this kanji is pretty clearly “Reko.”

Nao Egokoro: 絵心 菜緒 (Egokoro Nao) 絵心: Artistic taste, desire to paint. Individually, 絵 (e) means “Picture, drawing, painting, sketch” and 心 (gokoro) means “Heart” or “Spirit”

菜: Vegetable, greens 緒: Beginning, inception, cord, strap

Kai Satou: 佐藤 戒 (Satou Kai) 佐: Assistant, help 藤: Wisteria

戒: Commandment

A worthwhile note is the fact that Satou is the most common surname in Japan.

Gin Ibushi: 飯伏 銀 (Ibushi Gin) 飯: Meal, boiled rice 伏: Bend down, bow, cover

銀: Silver

Kazumi Mishima: 三島 和己 (Mishima Kazumi) 三: Three 島: Island

和: Harmony, peace 己: Self

Shin Tsukimi: 月見 真 (Tsukimi Shin) 月見: Viewing the moon. Individually, 月 (tsuki) means “Moon”, and 見 (mi) means “See, hope, chances, idea, opinion, look at,” or “Visible.

真: True, reality

This name is fun because it’s basically the opposite of the real Sou Hiyori’s name. 

“Hiyori” can also be translated as “Sunny Weather” as opposed to “Perfect Weather,” which goes against “Moon Viewing”.  “Sou” is also a pun on “Uso” which means “Lie,” and “Shin” directly translates to “True” or “Truth. 

Basically Shin took the identity of a dude who’s name is the exact opposite of his.

Gashu Satou: 佐藤 我執 (Satou Gashuu) 佐: Assistant, help 藤: Wisteria

我執: Egotism, obstinacy. Individually, 我 (ga) translates to “Ego, I, selfish, our” or “Oneself,” while 執 (shuu) can mean “Tenacious, take hold, grasp,” or “Take to heart.”

I don’t really have a reason for putting Gashu in this list aside from showing yall that his first name literally means “Egotism.” 

However, the fact that Satou is the most common surname in Japan is the reason that people didn’t guess he was Kai’s dad sooner.

Alice Yabusame: 八分雨 ありす (Yabusame Arisu) 八: Eight 分: Part, minute of time 雨: Rain

ありす: No meaning. It’s just “Arisu.” I’m putting it here just so y’all know that it doesn’t mean anything.

Gonbee Yamada: 山田 権兵衛 (Yamada Gonbee) 山: Mountain 田: Rice paddy

権兵衛: John Doe, person of an unknown name. Individually, 権 means “authority”,  兵 means “soldier” or “warfare,” and 衛 means “defense” or “protection.”

Considering this was a fake name it was absolutely so fucking ballsy of Alice to name himself the equivalent of “John Doe.” Yamada is a super common surname too, so it’d kind of be like the equivalent of, uhhh, “Jeandeaux Jones” or something.

Hey! Could I have a kin matchup for DR1, DRV3, YTTD, and if possible, BNHA? I'm an ESFP, can be loud but also quiet! I'm very sensitive, and I care a lot about my friends and things that are important to me! I tend to talk a lot about stuff I'm interested in, but I'm always afraid that I'm bothering people. I don't mind crowds, but I dont like secluded big groups of people. I am very much a self deprecating person, but I'm trying to get better! I'm a mom friend for sure. (1/2)

+ ESFP anon here! I can get very jealous, and I get crushes very easily. I'm a dreamer and a romantic, but a cynical one at that! I would die for anyone I care about. I'm not the best at talking to people around my age that I don't know, but I'm pretty good at being polite to those older than me! I can get mad or frustrated extremely easily. Overall, I'm a loud ESFP who cares about their friends and is pretty sensitive! Sorry for all the info, I just have a lot to say! Thanks! (2/2)

+ Hey, ESFP anon again! I was wondering if you could also do hunter x hunter for the matchup? It's ok if not, thanks! (3/2)

wow! that was... i don’t want to say that that was a lot, but it was... don’t feel bad, that’s not a negative thing! i just wasn’t expecting to see so much, hehe. the hunter x hunter matches will be kept in the minor section, since i’m not too familiar with it(i’m also not super familiar with bnha...) sorry about that, anon!

first off, from boku no hero academia, i match you with...

ochaco uraraka!

uraraka came to my mind really quickly, from my limited knowledge of bnha, lol- this one may be a bit shorter, since i’m not super familiar with the show! however, she does seem extroverted, if a bit reserved- she strikes a nice balance between peaceful and upbeat, if that makes sense! while uraraka does try to be positive and optimistic, she can have exaggerated reactions to things, making her come off as more sensitive or emotional. she cares a lot about her family, as well as iida and izuku, or pretty much any of her close friends. she holds that (found or otherwise) family and being a hero very close to her, and like you said, these two things are very important to you! technically, her friends can be considered an interest of hers, or at least something she cherishes- a lot of what makes uraraka... uraraka, is that she’s good at reading people like tsuyu, despite their exteriors, and will try her best to lend a hand to anyone that needs it. she can be a bit nervous that she’s bothering others, i think, but mostly tries to push that aside and focus on her pursuits in happiness- for herself and others! she seems alright with crowds and being around people, but would definitely get worn out if there was too much to keep up with.

she is a bit self deprecating- not openly, but she does have this air of “i’m not as good as you” if that makes sense? but she is trying to improve herself as a person all the time, i think! she’s a chaotic mom friend. uraraka can also get jealous in ways, as she’s a bit stingy with money due to her upbringing, and it’s not exactly easy, but she does develop a crush on izuku. that low self esteem can make her cynical in terms of romance, though. she’d absolutely die for those she cares about. she can be a little awkward talking to her classmates at times, but tries her best and warms up to them pretty quickly! she’s also very polite to her superiors, and she’s polite to almost everyone. however, in certain situations (like being against the villains, or in competition) she can get genuinely angry and rather serious. though you may be a bit less composed than uraraka, the two of you do... definitely have your moments, haha.

second off, from danganronpa, i match you with...

makoto naegi!

okay, i went back and forth on makoto and tenko for a bit- but makoto won out! while he’s a bit more introverted than you seem, makoto is a bit quiet most of the time, but can speak up in times like the kg when it’s necessary. he can definitely be sensitive, though i don’t blame him for being so- death is happening constantly in danganronpa. he cares about the people around him a lot, i’d agree, to the point where he’s widely known as being so nice that it’s suspicious. while he doesn’t seem to talk extensively about interests of his, i’d argue that that’s because he either doesn’t have any or feels like he doesn’t. however, i’d agree that he is rather self conscious, especially of his luck. i don’t really have specific proof that he doesn’t like or does like crowds, but... like, he has that vibe. he can definitely be self deprecating, though makoto is more focused on his goals and the hope/people around him to openly talk about it. i’d imagine that him defeating junko has also boosted his self esteem a bit. he’s a chaotic mom friend- he’s good at cheering up others, but not great at being silly or having fun. like... on that chart of “MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!” versus “we have food at home” versus “(pulls into the drive-thru, orders one black coffee, leaves)” he’s learning towards the we have food at home option.

while i’m not sure if makoto gets crushes easily, he does have at least three(kirigiri, junko and sayaka) that are canon(though sayaka is strongly implied instead of canon), and he’s part of dozens of ships. he is a bit cynical in his ‘dreams’ however, as he doesn’t really believe he’s worthy of hope’s peak due to his talent, and in romance i think he has a hard time believing his crush is mutual- or that he even has one. he would definitely give up his life for those close to him. he can definitely be awkward around people like byakuya or kyoko if they’re not willing to lead the conversation, and is polite to elders like the future foundation members, and technically yasuhiro. he may be a less short tempered than you, but he can get frustrated rather frustrated if someone else is refusing to listen to him- especially in trials.

finally, from your turn to die, i match you with...

nao egokoro!

right off the bat, i’d definitely agree that nao can range from loud to quiet- she’s very sensitive, and a little jumpy, not trying to hide her reactions to the death game like some of the other candidates. she definitely cares about her friends, mishima is practically a father to her- and while not all of her talk revolves around art, it’s clear that she has a strong interest in it. plus, she in general speaks her mind very often, and doesn’t hide a lot of the rest of the group. while she doesn’t seem too worried about bothering others, she can definitely be conscious of herself. she seems alright with being in a group of the death game participants, but can get overwhelmed by too many people talking at once! i wouldn’t be surprised if you can relate to that. she doesn’t seem too self deprecating, but can get stuck in her own head and what she perceives as what she did wrong, though she does work on it more after the mishima arc! she has more aunt vibes than mom vibes, but it still works!

while nao doesn’t exactly get jealous, she can be very defensive when it comes to people like mishima, as shown in the manga when keiji has him in a headlock and she... well, smacks him in the back of the head. she’s definitely a dreamer, i’d say that her being an artist in general comes with that- she has a strong sense of imagery, as she can distinguish the individual flaps of a bird’s wings. we don’t know too much about her love life, but i mean, have you seen her and reko... also, she can definitely be cynical, as i’m sure that if anyone tried to pair her with someone else... she’d just be defensive about it. she would definitely die for those she cares about, cough cough second trial, cough cough. she is initially timid at the beginning of the game, though mishima especially helps her come out of her shell, and she can warm up to people rather quickly. she’s also very respectful towards him in general. lastly, as part of her being rather sensitive and emotional, she can get upset and frustrated rather easily- this is shown in the posthumous effect of mishima.

minor matchups time! from dr, you remind me very strongly of tenko chabashira, somewhat of sayaka maizono and gonta gokuhara, and a bit of kiyotaka ishimaru and kaede akamatsu! from yttd, you also remind me pretty strongly of gin ibushi, reko yabusame and sara chidouin, as well as a little of kazumi mishima! from bnha, you also remind me strongly of denki kaminari, and somewhat of izuku midoriya and eijiro kirishima! lastly, from hxh, you remind me strongly of killua zoldyck, and a bit of kahra!

hehe... i hope this was alright, anon! i tried to take everything you said into account, so that probably made this really long... sorry! if you need anything adjusted or added, just let me know, anon! it’s not a burden at all ~
