On the Motivations of Nagisa Shingetsu’s Father: A Short Analysis

Something that people tend to misconstrue about Nagisa’s father is that he actually wanted his son to have flawless academic performance. In reality, the conditioning to strive for absolute perfection was merely a part of the manipulation (or in more scientific terms, the independent variable) of the experiment he conducted on his son. In Nagisa’s own words:

“My parents raised me like they were levelling me up in some game… They didn’t even treat me like a person […] My father was a teacher at our school, he was a researcher of children’s talent. He used his own son to research the growth of a child’s talent. He wanted to see what the growth curve would be like if he pushed a child to the breaking point… Isn’t that funny? I was the subject of such an amusing experiment.”

So now we have evidence that Dr. (?)* Shingetsu was not placing high expectations on Nagisa because he wanted him to succeed, but rather out of morbid scientific curiosity. Below is an excerpt from the man himself:

“I cannot obtain the result I was expecting with my experiment. I cannot discern whether the environment or the subject himself is the problem. I shall look into the experiment conditions in more detail.

Until now, I have used solely visual observation, but I should erect cameras to watch the subject at all times and discipline the subject when resting longer than allowed.

If I do not obtain any desirable results with the experiment, I will conclude that the problem lies within the subject, and change my experimental target.”

One thing to note is that it is unclear what his desired results are. According to Nagisa, he was apparently researching the growth curve of a child’s academic talent under extreme stress— however, we should be aware that Nagisa is likely an unreliable narrator due to his conditioned biases**. Although a common interpretation is that Dr. Shingetsu was expecting an increase in Nagisa’s performance, there are two main factors that disprove this:

1. Nagisa states that during the experiment, his father would force him to study for several days straight using intravenous analeptics, threats, and corporal punishment. The exact drug he used is unknown, but it is likely either doxapram, due to it being administered intravenously, or amphetamines, which are noted to have cognitive-enhancing abilities. However, the overuse of analeptic stimulants can cause cardiovascular problems, as does stress and sleep deprivation. In this environment, the likelihood of Nagisa suffering a stroke or heart failure increased considerably. Dr. Shingetsu would definitely have known this.

2. Sleep deprivation and excessive stress are known to negatively impact cognitive function and development. Dr. Shingetsu would also have known this.

This begs the question: why would Dr. Shingetsu subject his son to conditions that could result in health hazards and/or declined performance if he wanted Nagisa’s academic success?

A possible answer is simply that the “desirable results” were actually a decline in performance. Perhaps Dr. Shingetsu wanted to find the point of absolute burnout where Nagisa would either barely function, or give up completely. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with Nagisa’s resilience to the experimental conditions. In the end, Dr. Shingetsu ultimately reaped the consequences of treating the Nuremburg Code as the Nuremburg Suggestions allowing his hunger for knowledge overpower his morality.

—

* Due to the nature of his research, it is most likely that Nagisa’s Father (referred to as Dr. Shingetsu for the sake of brevity) was a psychologist, particularly a developmental psychologist. He also likely held a doctorate degree.

** There are multiple instances of Nagisa being an unreliable narrator. In the referenced scene alone, there are two: one is his implication that Monaca was paralysed by Tokuichi and Haiji, when in reality, she feigned the severity of her injuries. The second is his claim that Junko truly loved the Warriors of Hope.

Do you know this baby?

comment: nagisa!!! he and kotoko are two of the most fleshed out and he absolutely deserves it. he is absolutely adorable smart lil man. i dont wanna say i expect nothing from him because that'll make him feel bad but. i expect him to go to bed at 8:30 (his bedtime) and drink lots of water and take care of himself. :) hes adorable and well crafted (especially for a danganronpa game) and i enjoy his character a whole lot

[dj4jungshook]

Concept: After the kids were rescued from their abusive family. They temporarily stayed with the Naegi family. One night, Kotoko wanted to stay with big brother Makoto, because she was afraid of sleeping alone. Then Masaru joined in a tsundere way, then Monaca. Jataro and Nagisa stayed with big sis Komaru. The next morning as the kids play in the park, Komaru claimed she enjoys being a big sister.

[shsl-analyzer-guy]

Takemichi stan here, please talk more about him being a protag, I'm very intrigued.

(And also, Celeste's cat, lmao)

I have been WAITING for this ask since I dropped the tier list. Thank you. Thank you so much

So in UDG, Komaru becomes the protagonist because she's Makoto's sister, and thus, becomes Monaca's target. Well, Komaru is still Monaca's target in this UDT au too, BUT it's because she's the sister of the mastermind, not the one who killed the mastermind. This puts her as a secondary deuteragonist of the game, as Leon (the deuterag) is unsure how much she knows and if she's trustworthy or not. But that left me with an empty protagonist slot, so I thought to myself, which Captive would best fit within this au? And two options came to mind. The first was Takaaki, but I ultimately wanted the protag/Deuterag dynamic that Toko and Syo had with Komaru so I decided against it, instead opting to have him be in my au's UDT 2 and play a major role there. The other was Takemichi.

Takemichi has always been one of the captives I would've liked to see the most, and it helped here that Mondo had become the first victim in this AU's THH, so I figured that gave him enough significance right off the bat to put him in a leading role in a game about the victims' loved ones, especially considering that we know Leon and Mondo were friends prior to the games. I imagine a game in which Takemichi actually remembers Leon but Leon has no memory of him has a ton of potential to it especially. (Also, as much as I love Tokomaru and Syomaru, I wanna assert that Leon and Takemichi are gonna be entirely platonic. Maybe a QPR at most)

If there are any Takemichi lovers who've scrounged up every known piece of info about Takemichi, and any of it contradicts with my limited knowledge and assumptions, please tell me, I'd love to hear more, but as of typing this out, all my knowledge of Takemichi is

A) he's Mondo's right hand in the gang

B) he's expressly not interested in women despite a literal fanclub

And

C) he's short? Ider finding this info so this could just be an assumption based on the way they draw his face

So my line of thinking would be him pulling together an outfit and painting a biker helmet to look like a Monokuma kid, and therefore, avoid being attacked. This disguise would be a work in progress over the course of the game, coming to completion in the later chapters to introduce a sneaking mechanic. This disguise would make for a way to reveal that the helmets aren't just helmets, but tracking devices to keep track of the kids, so while you can go past the kids with the disguise, it doesn't work on the Monokumas bots because there's no sensor telling them to stop. Also, I like to think his weapon of choice would be something along the lines of a survival multi tool for map exploration, while Komaru maintains the gun and can be swapped out when specific bullets are needed for puzzles, rather than shooting being the primary progression mechanic. Leon, meanwhile, is the main fighter, wielding a metal bat to break the Monokumas when they're attacked.

Really, I'd like to delve into the story of what made Takemichi want to join a biker gang, and having his past let him connect with Nagisa. I can't help but imagine Takemichi, who joined a gang, might've done so because of pressures in his home life leading him to redefine his life and leave home, maybe even staying with the Owadas. So he might just be the right character to reach out to Nagisa and get through to him, saving him from being killed by his own robot and giving him a second chance, with him then being the one to help them through the final chapter and warn them of Monaca's interest in Komaru, though he doesn't know why.

But yeah that's what I've been thinking!

The Teens New Life Of Hope

My Danganronpa UDG OC Hikari Naegi -> ( ヒカリ ) ( 苗偽 ) as a teen, she is the younger sister of Makoto Naegi in a different universe.

Along side are the new reformed Warriors of hope. Nagisa Shingetsu, Kotoko Utsugi, Masaru Daimon, And Jataro Kemuri.

Years later after the events of Udg Hikari Naegi the warriors try to start a new life without crime or killing. while also still healing from the horrors of their childhood and the awful acts of murders they cause in Towa city.

Author note- I will also show art posts of what happen before this new era, I know im going out of order here before my fanfic is done but its gone take me a long time to finish it and i just cant hold on to my art and story ideas for too long( also IRL stuff as well).

I will do character bios for them, I just need to write them out when I eventually have the time.

Nagisa / For those who love his cowlicks he will still have them but when he sleeps or goes swimming. in my headcanon he would gel them down to look more serious.Though i am looking a good english voices claim for him as a teen, if anyone has good recommendations possible voice claim(s) that could work i would love to read them in the comments.

Jataro / While he wears his mask at school and in public he doesn't mind taking it off in his room or being alone his friends. Voice claims for him are Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan and Japanese claim is Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia.

Masaru / Was aiming for giving him the teen protag Shonenjump look( like naruto or something lol) Though I am looking a good english voices claim for him as a teen, if anyone has good recommendations possible voice claim(s) that could work i would love to read them in the comments.

Kotoko / For her trying go with a mix of girly/punk/lolita Fashion, I think her current voice actress can still be her claim, but if anyone has good recommendations possible voice claim(s) that could work i would love to read them in the comments.

post-udg nagisa's trust issues must be crazy though cause like when your only source of happiness are words of affirmation, being told "wow! great job, nagisa! you're so smart!" and the person/source you relied on for those the most destroys your whole world and makes you question if anybody even liked you in the first place

taking into consideration all the other 'betrayals' and how often he's been hurt in his life, then adding the statement above to a very confused and scared 12 to 14 something year old kid, and it's just

how do you even bounce back from that? how does nagisa ever stop feeling and wondering if he's just being lied to again from that point on?

Nagisa Shingetsu headcanons!

I’ve compiled a list of headcanons that I have for this lil blue boy. I’ll warn you, some are dark, but only to the normal canonical degree. Read below the cut!

- Nagisa is physically very weak. Prior to being kidnapped by Junko, he was extremely underweight as a result of the stimulants inhibiting his appetite, and overexertion. Although he’s become a healthier weight, he’s still very tiny with little muscle mass.

- Due to his lack of strength, he couldn’t kill his parents in a conventionally violent way: rather, he poisoned them. (his dad being both a scientist and teacher enabled him access to highly lethal drugs).

- He has a strange.. sterile smell. Akin to both a hospital and ozone.

- Because of his trauma involving needles and injections, he has a strong aversion sharp objects. This is why his robot uses a rifle instead of a melee weapon.

- He secretly loves ice cream, despite claiming that sweets are disgusting and unhealthy. His favourite is matcha!

- He’s on the aroace spectrum, and also bi.

- His mom is from Russia, and Russian is actually his first language. Sometimes if he’s experiencing particularly strong emotions, you can hear his accent come out.

She used to call him «моя маленькая новолуние» (my little new moon) because of his surname.

He’s written little poems about Monaca in Russian. And cursed at servant in his native language, too.

- His “horns” function almost as sensory organs, like cat whiskers. They can sense subtle changes in wind patterns, temperature, and vibrations. When he is exhausted or sleeping, they droop down. Nobody knows why.

These horns are also very sensitive to the touch. Nagisa experiences a shooting pain if they’re handled too roughly. However, if they’re stroked gently, he’ll feel a pleasant and calming sensation (good luck on him letting you do this, though).

- He often feels cold, abnormally so for someone his age, which is why he wears his scarf all the time.

- He refuses to admit it, but he’s extremely touch-starved. His parents weren’t exactly the physically affectionate type, so when Monaca hugged him, he bluescreened internally. Also, he not only allows Jataro to cling to him, but enjoys it quite a bit.
