i was telling my sister about the ghost au and she said "i think it would be cool if everyone alive can see the ghosts of the people who were executed because they're the ones who voted for them and sent them to their deaths" and i think you mightve said at one point that the "killer" is a more literal thing but. thoughts on that
I actually had the loopholes of the ghost au on my mind since this post and there are definitely cool things I can do with it, SO I will be answering a lot of the questions brought up by that previous post because I think it would be sick as fuck and add to the uneasy atmosphere of the killing games themselves
Spoilers for THH, SDR2, and NDRV3 below
Can Makoto see Chihiro? (In one of the FTEs he reccomends training with Mondo)
I would imagine Makoto is kind of haunted by all of the people that died in the killing game, including Junko, both figuratively and literally. He'll catch glimpses of their ghostly forms out of the corner of his eye, in the bathroom mirror, in the shadows.
I want to see this boy driven insane by the constant reminder of all the people he couldn't help or felt so responsible for dying. I want more of that scene in DR3 where Makoto volunteers to watch the killing game video and sees everyone that died.
I love Makoto, but I love subjecting him to endless despair even more.
Can Aoi see Sakura?
Can Hiro/Syo see Sakura (because they think they killed her)
Similar to Makoto, Aoi sees Sakura everywhere as a ghostly figure that's not completely there. She'll see her at the end of a hall, turning a corner, and shout her name and bolt after her, only to find it empty as she breaks down from the guilt of not being able to stop her and essentially handing Sakura her own death.
For Hiro it'd be similar, because he believes in ghosts (as shown by his insistence in the 5th trial that Kyoko was a ghost), but he'd be more jumpy.
Genocider Syo wouldn't be as prone to seeing her ghost, but Toko would be the same as Hiro. Seeing her everywhere and being terrified to sleep at night.
Can Nagito see Twogami?
During the first investigation and trial, I think he would be able to see Twogami's silhouette when it hangs around Teruteru and passes silent judgment. I like to think he'd at least feel some guilt over it. Yes, he set this all up to start the killing game, but Twogami did this to protect him. He gave his life for him. How could that person who pulled you back from the fate you created with your own hands, only to fall victim to it himself, just fade away entirely?
After Teruteru’s execution, the sightings of Twogami became less frequent, until they disappeared altogether. Until he died, of course.
Can Sonia see Hiyokos ghost because she told her to go to the music venue to tie her kimono?
The guilt of that would definitely chase her, and only build more after Gundham's death (the betrayal and the thought that she could've stopped him [she couldn't. His fate was inevitable]) and the fifth trial (she knew the bombs were fake, and this piece of information eventually helped condemn Chiaki to her fate).
I would argue she felt partially responsible for Mahiru and Peko's deaths as well. It was her enthusiasm over Sparkling Justice that gave Peko the idea of her cover to be voted as the blackened, and just inspired a large part of the murder overall.
She loves to talk about her interests, but refrains from speaking about them, just in case someone used that information for a murder. She would see Hiyoko in mirrors constantly. Every interaction she had with the Devas hurt more than the last. Nagito and Chiaki are always just out of view.
I never thought about how haunted Sonia would be by just trying to help keep everyone safe, and have some kind of normalcy by making friends and talking about her interests. Huh.
Can Maki see Ryoma (<- Because they swapped Motive Videos and that gave Ryoma less will to live)
Ryoma would hang out a lot in his lab after he died, thinking about his life, what went wrong, why no one was left for him outside of the academy.
The night after the trial, Maki stops by his lab, posture stiff and shifting from one foot to the other, and start apologizing to the empty air. After Kokichi revealed her true talent, she doesn't want to be seen as just a killer. She feels guilty about giving him the motive video, even if she didn't know what was on it. She apologizes for killing him before Kirumi dealt the final blow.
Ryoma suddenly appears before her while she's finally starting to tear up and her throat is closing. There he is in front of her, clear as day, reassuring her that it wasn't her fault. He would've found out one way or another. He should've been stronger, he should've fought for the others inside of the academy and made an effort to be closer to them. He shouldve made them his reason to live. He just wasn't strong enough.
He tells her to live. Even if you have no one out there, live. Live for yourself. Live for the friends you will make in the future. Live for the days when the sun is shining while rain pours down on everything. Live for the trill a cat makes when disturbed by pets during a nap in the sun. Live for all the color in the world, for the music, for the intoxicating scent of sweets and fresh bread. Live, damn it.
Can Himiko see Tenko? (<- Himiko was supposed to die at the seance)
Sometimes, when she can't sleep, Himiko will sit up in bed, and see Tenko's familiar outline sitting in the chair by her bed, watching over her. Every time, she breaks down into a mess of tears and repetitious apologies.
Can Maki see Kokichi? (<- we still don't know if the poison killed Kokichi before the press)
Teehee I'm already writing a fic about this with canon divergence (it's in my pinned post, if you haven't read it please do I'm working on a new chapter) BUT if we stay with canon, with Kaito being the Blackened:
Maki would never see but always hear both of them. She would hear them bickering just out of sight nearby constantly. Both of them would greet her in the morning, wish her a good night. She would be sure she was going insane from the guilt.
If she hadn't intervened and fired the crossbow, maybe she wouldn't have had to go through the heartache that was the entire 5th trial.
Can Himiko see Kaito (<- Gave him the crossbow/weapon to fight Kokichi with.)
This is an instance where i don't think she would have as strong a reason to feel responsible for his death. I believe she would see it more that she did what she could to help him, but have no real power in the whole situation. That doesn't mean she doesn't miss the hell out of him. He was the last remnant of Tenko she really had. They acted so similar.

Nicknames by Yasuhiro
You know how Yasuhiro Hagakure refers to Sakura Ogami as "Ogre"? Well in Danganronpa S, Yasuhiro has nicknames for some of the other characters. After rewatching all of his event scenes, I decided to share some of those nicknames, because why not, I like this character and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
These are just for Yasuhiro's events, so I'm not sure if he has nicknames for the other characters in their events, and thankfully, I have enough images to share before I hit the 30 images limit on Tumblr. Some of these images are also character reactions.
Ryoman (Ryoma)
Monaccers (Monaca)
Kotokola (Kotoko)
Junkie (Junko)
Gumby (Gundham)
Maks (Maki)
Hiyobro (Hiyoko)
He even at one point called her Saionjeans.
Micky (Mikan)
In this event, he mentions Angie but refers to her as Angus, and starts talking about her deity Atua.
Byakky Boy (Byakuya)
Tsumoogs (Tsumugi)
Cheerio (Chihiro)
Ranty (Rantaro)
Kiyotaks (Kiyotaka)
This was all I can find. I hope you liked them.
