#sorry for analyzing danganronpa i like kyoko very much

[sugarsprink]

just realized a plot point in thh has so much more going on to it now that i have read the drk summaries, and its driving me insane

(spoilers below for both drk vol 7 and thh ch 1 spoilers if anyone wants to read. also please not since i got my information from a summary and not the source it may not be 100% correct but the general jist works enough here)

so, in drk vol 7, its revealed the person who set up the last duel noir was yui samidare herself, but not completely out of her free will. quick explanation of whar a duel noir is if you dont know: a duel noir is basically just a scenario where someone who is a victim of a past crime that was not solved/wasnt solved properly can use to get "catharsis" or basically just a personal sense of justice against the person who committed the crime against them (maybe a bad explanation but im trying to keep it short. basically all you need to know is that yui set up this duel noir mainly to get revenge on the person who kidnapped and murdered her sister, but also because kyokos life was being threatened if yui didnt do this) so ofc, kyoko is able to figure the set-up out (but not the fact that one of the main reasons yui did it was for her safety), and gets very upset over this, not understanding why she would want to do this despite them both seeing many innocent people die due to these duel noirs and feeling betrayed by someone she trusted dearly. yui is trying to apologize but uh oh! the dude who killed her sister is still alive and is shoots her with a crossbow, then kicking her repeatedly, then targets kyoko to kill. yui then decides to use her last bit of her strength to sacrifice herself, dragging the killer away to a cliff, which they ultimately fall off due to the building exploding and knocking them off.

even though kyoko felt betrayed by yui, she was still devastated, and the person who did that to her still deeply cared about her well being, using her final breathe to save her life. now flash forward to thh, right after the 1st trial. makoto is devastated to learn sayaka deceived him in order to kill someone and pin it on him. this was someone he deeply trusted, and they ended up using this trust against him, even if the plan ultimately failed in the end.

HOWEVER, this is where kyoko come in to speak with him. she tells him its an undeniable fact that his trust was taken advantage of, but the actions taken by sayaka proved that she still had some care about his well being, given the fact she had possibly hesitated the attack, and the fact she left the dying message in order to clear makotos name.

she basically tells him that even though he was betrayed and taken advantage of in the end, it was sayakas care for his life that saved him in the end, with her using her last bit of strength to write that message. do you all get what i am saying here??

kyoko approached makoto to tell him all this stuff about how sayaka cared for him even if she betrayed his trust because she knows EXACTLY how that felt, especially due the fact that kyoko never fully knew yuis intention either.

🌙 (1/2) Could I request a kin matchup for Danganronpa, DDLC, Mystic Messenger, and any other sources I fit? I am an INTP-T. I’m mainly calm/cool. I’m smart in the sense of logic, perception, intuition, academic level. I analyze situations and sometimes even come off as cold from my introverted personality. People who have gotten close to me have seen my empathy and humor.

Hello there! Thank you so much for your request!☆

I’m so sorry for the wait! This has been sitting in my inbox since yesterday, I’m fairly sure. April just isn’t a pleasant month for me, so I’m trying to take things super slow. But I really wanna say, I love the moon aesthetic for these messages! It adds a really nice flavor! I love space stuff. Especially stars and moons!

I personally associate you with …

Kyoko Kirigiri [ Danganronpa ]

Yuri [ Doki Doki Literature Club ]

Jaehee Kang [ Mystic Messenger ]

Naoto Shirogane [ Persona ]

The explanation is under the cut!☆

I love how detailed your description was! It really helped me narrow down some of the choices. Though, I will say that Maki Harukawa and Chiaki Nanami were once on here. I briefly considered Monika. I sorta knew that I would pick Jaehee when it came to this. With Naoto, this is sorta like a bonus, since I was able to pick another source that might fit you!

However, I finally ended up with these four!

A common thread between all of these characters is that they are very diligent, knowledgeable people when it comes to their studies. They’re also very introverted in nature and are sometimes interpreted as cold or unapproachable by people. They’re all very kind-hearted and nurturing once you give them the chance! They’re all excellent at problem-solving and have at least some experience with self-defense. They all carry this air of being perfectionists, too. Extremely tidy and logical, they seem like people who wouldn’t let their guard down very often. Once they do, they’re shown to be very creative and sympathetic! Enjoying reading, writing, and joking around with friends.

That is what I gathered, anyway!

I hope you enjoyed this and have a good day!☆

Thoughts on Byakuya!

me, in tears: finally,

i am so sorry this took like, 3 days to write. i wanted to get my point across on how i exactly feel about this character in general

TD;LR: byakuya togami isnt a perfect saint, and probably will never be, but i find him to be an interesting character to analyze, and his character development should be appreciated a bit more than it seems to be.

and uh, its not like, perfect in captialization and stuff but look its late and i dont really mind rn

i remember my first thoughts on him when i played the first game were really negative. admittedly, i hated him when i played the game two years ago, hell my friend told me that apparently i even said something along the lines of “ew rich boy” 

but after kinda dropping danganronpa then coming back around and re-analyzing it all? i find byakuya to be one of my favorite characters. and it’s mostly because of his logical, analytical, and generally intelligent personality. that and the development he went through, but that’s for later.

personally, i can’t stand characters who are constantly letting their emotion’s guide their actions. i understand that character’s at time are going to have a weak moment that allows their emotions to judge the situation, that’s understandable and a good way to develop a character! but for all the time? i find it kinda annoying. not to say i hate those type of characters, i just dont really care for them i guess. whereas, obviously, byakuya is the opposite. he’s very logical during trials and investigations and mostly a big help to naegi along the way, whether or not he would allow himself to be considered a “helping person” in any sense but thats not the point right now. hell, during the 5th trial when hagakure had his “KYOKO’S A FUCKING G H O S T” moment i was practically banging my head into the table as byakuya was just “????? how are you this stupid?? how did you pass grade preschool??” (i know those arent the exact words or anything but i exaggerate for humor. even tho that probably didnt come off as humorous but anyways) and during other trials as well, he’s very blunt when it comes to conclusions and honestly? that’s needed in the situation they were all in. 

now yeah, that blunt sense of logic does backfire, main example being the 4th trial. but its the fact that every other situation that needed it, he provided it. and dont worry, im not forgetting kyoko’s logic in those situations, i appreciate her as well but it’s byakuya time. this goes the same for makoto, although he can have his moments of allowing his emotions to take his judgement’s control, it works for him in the end as development and that’s just who he is. 

the fact that he is logical and can keep his composure in most stressful situations is a big factor on what i appreciate about his character. although you could argue that this can make a character “weak” in the way it makes them seem less human, but for byakuya i think it works, especially keeping in mind his history and how that’s affected him. 

now i also wanna talk abt his history real quick: because i’ll be honest i enjoy diving into his situation and trying to figure out how exactly that affected him in the long run. 

so there’s the obvious factors: he was (probably forced) into a competition against his 14 other siblings, (whether or not he actually had an attachment to them before hand is up to you, but i personally like to think that he may have not exactly liked the idea of fighting his siblings to keep his title, but hey, thats just me, and i really read too much into things that dont need it) and he came out on top, which resulted in him gaining his superiority complex. but i like considering the tolls that took on him as an emotional result. because come on, byakuya hasn’t always been the emotionally withdrawn person we see him to be, i dont think that would be, in a realistic sense, humanly possible. 

i like really considering his background and how it all shaped him. i commonly wonder a lot of things regarding his family, seeing as its a major part of him. did he have to leave his mother to participate in the fight for his family name? did he even know his mother at all, or because of the way the togami family works, has he never known the concept of having a motherly figure in his life? did he know his siblings well before having to fight them in the competition, if so, how do you think he would have felt on initially exiling them from the family because he won? sure, its possible that he never knew his other siblings, which just made his success easier, but i have no clue on such things so, ya know. 

but that’s enough on his history and background. i could go on for hours about all the ways it could have affected him and his current mindset, but thats for another day. >:3c maybe idk tho

then there’s all the growth he’s gone through. tbh if he would have stayed the same as he was back in the first game i would probably hate him, but its also because of all the character development he’s went through that really makes me appreciate him. sure, in comparison to other characters its not a lot, but its the fact that he has changed from that snarky, lying, bastard from the first game into a less snarky, lying, bastard that he is now that really makes me like his character. 

i love the fact that by the end of the first game, he’s learn to appreciate the people around him and the relationships he has with them, i love how he grows and allows himself to care for these people by ultra despair girls and such. 

the fact that he was developed and grew up is what really makes me like him, that he’s grown to have what could be considered a protective sense over these people he went through something hellish with. 

and sure, he’s not a saint, i’m aware of that. i know that he could be a lot nicer than he is now, but in the long run and comparison to how he started, i’d say its a considerable leap. and dont worry, im not going to excuse his actions in the first game, or just his mistakes in general. ignoring all of that and even going as far to try and excuse it kinda just?? doesnt feel right if that makes sense. 

he’s a cruel dark hero, and that should be acknowledged when it comes to his character, but that isnt to say to ignore the growth he’s gone through.

anyways, im gonna end it here because this took me several days to put together and 2 rewrites to finish. i am so sorry anon, you probably wanted a super short answer with something like “yeah he’s cool i guess” and you got an essay. i am so sorry.
