#i actually really like kirumi

Kirumi

Little analysis⬇️

I don't think we talk enough about how manipulative Kirumi can be. When she was considered the main suspect, she began to lie, emphasizing that she always valued the needs of others more than her own. This is partly true, but in that situation she was not caring about THEM, but about other people. And in order to remove suspicion from herself (and make everyone vote incorrectly), she used any methods. She even tried to evoke pity by crying. But the dirtiest method she used was that she used Kaede's wish to convince them that she would never try to deceive them. She knew that this wish became a symbol of hope for the group, she knew that Kaede was very important to Shuichi, she knew that it was still very difficult for him to reveal the truth. But she used it to her advantage.

When she was found out and already chosen as the killer, Kirumi tried to force everyone to fight Monokuma for her (which would inevitably lead to someone's death), causing everyone to feel guilty towards the entire country for which she was responsible. And it almost worked.

But Kaito brought everyone to their senses with his speech that there is no such thing as the “price of life.” They can't just give their lives because "it's would be better that way". Their lives matter. " Life's purpose is to be lived". He firmly stated that he wanted to live, which was actually a very brave act, because people could've called him an egoist for putting his life before the lives of an entire nation. However, he was supported by... Kokichi. He brought the group's attention to what Kirumi was actually trying to do. He revealed that she planned to use them to escape. And she confirmed that he was right with her words.

Also how different her behavior was before this from how aggressive she becomes when she sees that her tactics didn't work (and at a couple of other points during the class trial when she was just starting to get accused).

I'm NOT trying to make her out to be a villain and say she's bad. But I don't like how this imperfect side of her character is often ignored. She is often positioned only as a selfless servant, which in my opinion is wrong. I DO NOT deny her selfless devotion, but I believe that the trial brought out another side of her. She really wanted to survive. She really wanted to get out. I believe that one of the reasons of her breakdown was due to the fact that she broke under the pressure of all the responsibility that was placed on her.

In the official manga, Kiyo analogizes their situation to a tradition called "jincan", where many poisonous insects are sealed in a jar and they begin to devour each other until only one insect remains. Kirumi reasons with him that if any being sees a chance to get out of the hell they are locked in, they will do anything to achieve this goal.

I love how Danganronpa often defies obvious expectations. Like, you expect Kirumi to become a killer because someone will use her and she won't be able to refuse because of her desire to serve. But in reality, she almost sacrificed the lives of the entire group in order to get out herself.

In conclusion, I think it is important to recognize Kirumi not only as a obedient Ultimate Servant, but also as a girl who desperately wants to live, who is ready to do ANYTHING to get out. She is ready to go to great lengths if necessary to achieve this goal.

Many of Kirumi's moments have a theme of surviving no matter what: her behavior at the Class Trial (the fact that she initially tried to frame Himiko, who can not stand up for herself), her manipulation at the end of the trial, her breakdown before her execution, execution itself, where she tries to escape so desperately that she climbs up a thorny vine through a tunnel, not stopping even when circular saws appear from the walls (her escape attempt was clearly part of the execution, Monokuma knew what she will try to do and made sure to cause her as much despair as possible, giving her hope of getting out).

She wanted to get out not only to continue to serve, but also because she just wanted to survive. She wanted to do something not only for the sake of others, but also for her own sake. Perhaps for the first time in her life.

I love seeing complex characters who have many sides and flaws. So I find it strange to see that sometimes Kirumi is only described as a obedient servant. She is so much more than that. This is exactly what I love about Kirumi, what makes her so interesting.

Uh, hey. I just wanted to ask if you would be intrested in seeing here more of my drv3 analysis (spoiler: most of them are ch 5 related). And if you are, should i make drawings to accompany them (like in the beginning of this post) or just post them as they are

[wewerebornsextuplets]

you gottaaa maaaaaake your own kind of musiiiiic

[ultimateplaylistmaker]

BASED. Finally someone actually acknowledging Tenko`s sexism and making her overcome it instead of unfunny jokes or ignoring it.

Making unfunny jokes? Lame

Ignoring it? BORING

Having Tenko run a primarily woman's shelter during the literal apocalypse which forces her to see actual genuine families that she in her heart cannot bare to turn away when she has resources to help, forcing her to interact with guys more then she had before and getting to observe them be good people trying to help their mothers and sisters. When clearly troubled by how this is changing her world views a nice older trans lady sees this young teenager trying to help everyone but clearly having gender essentialist views correctly blames her guardian for her teaching her those views then goes over to help/adopt her, slowly working through it and kindly correcting her when she messes up or says something bigoted and while Tenko's progress is slow and she still makes mistakes, a lot of them, its clear she's trying and she's growing and she'll get there one day and you just cant help but be proud of her while Tenko learns to be more then just what her master wanted for her and learns who she is outside this role she was molded into causing her to question herself in ways she never was allowed to before? BASED AS HELL

I just realized the fifth trial of v3 could have gone COMPLETELY different in my ghost au oh no

// SPOILERS for Danganronpa V3

I rewatched the trial recently and just got to the end when Kaito exits the Exisal to stop everyone from reaching the wrong vote, and it got me thinking.

We aren't completely sure whether Kokichi was killed by the hydraulic press or by the poison. It could've been totally possible for him to succumb to the poison while he was laying on the press waiting for it to lower.

We have no idea how long it actually takes for the Strike-9 poison to circulate through the body, and after Kaito and Kokichi switched places, he could've succumbed to the poison while Kaito was getting back up to the controls and setting back up to lower the press.

It's totally possible for him to have died of the poison and for Maki to be the actual Blackened, but as the player we had no way of confirming his cause of death. Not even Monokuma knew because the cameras were disabled! That was the whole shtick of the case! Monokuma relied completely on Shuichis deduction for this, and he concluded that Kokichi was killed with the press.

BUT in ghost au, we WOULD get confirmation of the killer and victim but not until that moment that Kaito exited the Exisal.

Kokichis ghost could've been hanging out in there through the whole trial until that point and exited with Kaito to see everyone's expressions up close. No one would really have made the conclusion that killers see their victims ghost until they became a Blackened themselves, but Kaito didn't know that so he wouldn't have been off put by not seeing Kokichis ghost. Dude was scared of ghosts after all so it would've sent him into a panic attack anyway.

But imagine when Kaito exits the Exisal and Kokichi's bloodied ghost follows, only visible to Maki. Imagine her shock when she sees both of them still supposedly alive in front of her. Imagine the rage that would boil her blood and send her bolting over to Kokichi to try to strangle or stab him, reaching out for his spindly neck to take him down-

Only for her to phase right through him.

She falls to the floor, to her hands and knees and is hit with an entirely new shock at the realization. Oh. Oh no. Shuichi and Kaito are moving to help her up and pay no attention to the bloodied Kokichi standing beside them, asking her if she's okay after tripping like that.

That's why Gonta was acting so weird in the previous trial, saying that Miu was still with them and even more confused about why there was a trial being held. They dismissed it as her being with them in spirit, but the others had no clue how literal that was.

Kaede didn't kill Rantaro, but if she had, it would've been a dead giveaway if she was freaking out about a ghost.

Kirumis spiral at the end of her trial was probably driven by Ryoma teasing her with the occasional quip until she lost it.

Korekiyo has probably seen enough ghosts to last a lifetime, so two more would've been nothing.

Only when Gonta had killed Miu did things click.

Maki would look at Kokichi in abject horror, and he would stare back with the exact same expression because this would completely ruin his plan. She would absolutely take the chance to give up her own life to save Kaito. She had done it so many times throughout the trial already, but that was just denial. Denial that Kaito could've been dead and that she could've been the one that killed him.

The trial would drag on for longer, and Shuichi would reach the same conclusion that killers saw their victims ghost. Kaito's skin would go cold because, if that's true, then why couldn't he see Kokichi? He was supposed to be the Blackened. Not Maki. Not Maki.

Maki and Kaito would argue for both stances, desperate to save the other, until Monokuma confirms that, yes, the Blackeneds can see the ghost of their respective victim, because hey, Tsumugi has been able to see Rantaro this entire time. On the cameras, the other culprits have been talking to themselves after killing their victims, but not in a mental spiral. More of a conversation with the dead body before them, except the victim was responding.

Maki would be executed because of this, and Kaito's moral would tank because he a) just lost the love of his life, b) survived when he wasn't supposed to and c) all of that work, all of that planning Kokichi had put into this trial to end the killing game once and for all was completely wasted. He would go numb. He was ready to give up his own life for this, but Maki didn't deserve this. Maki was supposed to live, not him. This wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. The only thing trusting Kokichi got him was the love of his life dying before his very eyes when it was supposed to be him.

Oh God now i wanna write a fic where this happens

[g0nta-g0kuhara]

I just very self indulgently spent most of today making every V3 character in this awesome picrew!! Forcing you all to look at them

First I made training trio!! I love big goofy poofy jackets for Kaito, I need to draw him in something like this some time. Also I actually remade Shuichi, since he was the first one I made and I had a lot more practice with this picrew by the end of it and wanted to improve it.

Then here's the case 1 trio!! I adore giving Tsumugi really long skirts, and also Rantaro's outfit was fun to play around with

For these three I'm actually in awe of how well Kokichi turned out. Like. That works INSANELY well. On the other hand Kiibo was a bit of a nightmare as a robot, but I think I managed to figure something out that worked pretty well!

Next the ch3 girls!! I'm kind of obsessed with this outfit for Himiko. Tenko was super hard to get right but I'm happy with how it turned out

Korekiyo was SUPER fun to make an outfit for. What can I say, I love the colour brown. Ryoma kinda just ended up in the outfit I draw him in in canon, but it worked out I think

Last but of course not least- Kirumi and Gonta!! I gave Gonta a little wolf pup :]

What is your opinion on drv3 chapter 2... or just kirumi and ryoma's story/dynamic?

[Lyrics from: 'Julie vs. Robot Julie' by ARTHUR]

I'm probably biased but OUGHGHFGH CHAPTER 2........

It's a running thing with me but I tend to really like the chapter 2s in each game,,, probably cause they involve characters I like [i.e: Mondo, Chihiro, Fuyuhiko, Ryoma, etc.]

[read more if you want to read my rant bc I wrote more than I usually do]

From the very start Ryoma was really interesting to me, especially in chapter one when he offered himself as a sacrifice to stop the time limit,, It was nice to see him slowly get better and try to find a reason to live... but uh... we eventually get to see what happens...

Kirumi on the other hand didn't really catch my eye as much, well I mean her design goes hard but for me, she faded into the background a lot...

Also holy shit this chapter probably has one of the best body discoveries in the series. The chill I felt when Ryoma's body just fucking appeared in the piranha tank and seeing it shortly get torn apart really made an impression on me. It was obvious that something was going to go wrong during the magic show but that was still so shocking to me. Out of all the games, V3 is definitely the one that made me audibly go: "NO!💥💥💥!!!!!" the most

It kinda makes me wish that Himiko and Ryoma had more of a connection before his death or at least had Himiko acknowledge his death more... not only did someone die in her show that was supposed to distract everyone from the killing,, but it was someone who was actually pretty nice to her... But also to be fair Himiko represses her grief a lot, only really letting it out during chapter 3. I dunno I just want the depressed mage and the depressed tennis pro to be besties, is that too much to wish for? <//3

The trial was pretty alright,, to be honest, I was a little annoyed at Himiko for still sticking to her magic shtick even after someone fucking died but I think that was made up for when Kirumi got accused. Oh boy, I said Kirumi didn't catch my attention earlier but this trial made me like her so much. The manipulative shit she says during the trial activated my brain cells, she was willing to deceive the people she'd been surviving with to try and essentially save the country...

It feels like a more personal version of the trolley cart problem: Would you fight alongside these 13 people you've gotten to know and survive with, with the slim chance that you might escape? Or would you take the risk and purposely kill all of them to fulfill your duty and save a whole country? It's debatable if what Kirumi did was really 'selfless' or not. It made her really interesting to me.

And finally... oh my god, Ryoma, man.... The reveal that his motive video was empty and that he had no one to live for broke my heart so badly <//3 poor guy has gone through too much. The fact that he gave up like that, offering himself up to Kirumi is so... RGHARGHR!!!! 💥💥💥,, PLEASE.........

Even though I really wanted Ryoma to survive, I thought that chapter 2 was a depressing but fitting end for him. Like it really sucks bad that he wasn't able to find a reason to live but not everyone can have a good ending unfortunately... I just want to grab him and shake him around GRUGAHRGHH 💥💥💥

so uh in short: me likey chapter 2 I go insane every time I think about it.................

[chickensoup1025]

Kaito was very protective of his jacket.

He wore it everyday no matter the weather and he kept it in pristine condition. He'll even happily tell you its "origin story".

His grandmother had bought two suits for his grandfather to wear to some party. Choosing the other option, the purple suit jacket was left available for young Kaito to take and use to keep himself warm while watching the stars as winter came. The jacket was much too big for the boy, his hands only appearing out of the sleeves if they were rolled up a lot, so he tended to wear it like a cloak instead.

Kaito fondly remembered the night he was rattling on about constellations to his grandmother when he interrupted himself to complain about how itchy the interior of the coat was. She knew Kaito well enough to not point out he didn't have to wear it, so she proposed they sew in a new, more comfortable lining. She claims stars appeared in his eyes at that suggestion.

His grandmother offered to do the stitching but Kaito insisted she teach him so he can do it himself. The galaxy print on the inside of his jacket was his pride and joy from that day on. When he grew old enough to fit his arms through the sleeves, he kept up the habit of keeping at least one arm out to show off the fabric of stars.

So you can imagine how surprised Shuichi and his classmates were to see Kokichi walk into their dorm lounge room wearing the famous purple jacket.

It was Maki who flung herself off the couch and furiously demanded, "Take that off, now."

Kokichi pulled the jacket closer to his chest and showed off a mischievous grin, "Take what off? My, are you coming onto me, Harumaki?"

"Don't call me that." She growled.

Shuichi stood up, holding his hands up. "Ouma-kun, you really should stop. Momota-kun will be..."

"He'll kill you." Rantaro said from the couch.

"My beloved Kaito-chan would never hurt me." Kokichi sniffed.

This was the most unbelievable lie Kokichi has told so far. It was just last week Kirumi had to separate the boys from wrestling again.

Ryoma stood up. "Normally, I'd say it's your funeral, but for this to be in your hands... Momota-kun wouldn't forgive us for letting it even happen."

"Oh come onnnnn, you guys!" Kokichi continues to evade Maki's lunges. "He let me wear it! I swear! Would I lie to you guys?"

Miu actually started to choke from laughing so violently.

(For once, Kokichi wasn't lying.)

[danganronpa-textposts]

4. 22, 23, 30?

4.) Favorite Minigame?

death road of despair, maybe?

22.) Favorite Random/Unessacary Moment?

most miu and kokichi trial interactions, but also teruteru’s accent

23.) Favorite Chapter?

THH: chapter 4!! it’s genuinely heartbreaking but also so interesting

SDR2: chapter 4 or chapter 5

v3: chapter 1, i loved kaede and shuichi’s interactions, the plot twist was amazing, and i really liked having an extroverted protagonist, even if only for a bit

30.) Smartest Murder Plan?

kokichi and nagito’s plans were genius. korekiyo’s would’ve been unsolvable is he hadn’t killed tenko. and kirumi’s was also really smart

and if kaede had actually been trying to get away with murder (and if she had actually killed rantaro), she definitely would’ve succeeded, regardless of the first blood perk

i think overall, most of the plans were pretty smart, except for the spur of the moment murders, like mondo and leon.

[conelluwrites]

i think you're the one for me (it gets so hard to breathe) // Kokichi Ouma Blood Headcanons

Kokichi Ouma x GN! Reader

Kinktober Masterlist

Kinktober Playlist

Song: Dandelions - Ruth B

Warnings: Biting, knife play, masturbation w/ blood, blood + cum swallowing, typical bad dom Kokichi, aftercare included slightly (good job, Kokichi!)

Absolutely feral man, he loves blood in bed.  Say sorry to Kirumi or do your own sheets (preferably the latter).

Your blood is preferable, but if you scratch or bite him and make him bleed he doesn’t mind.

His canines are sharper than average and he uses that to his advantage, biting you in various places to either draw blood or see his teeth marks left on your pretty skin.

He loves it if you wear white and he gets to see it stain with your blood, he also loves to see his clothes get bloodied up by you.  Good luck convincing this man to not show it off.

Speaking of showing things off, he can and will leave the most horrific bites in spots you cannot easily hide.  The first few times your friends were concerned, now they just cringe.

Can and will jerk off with your blood, making you watch as he spits on his reddened cock and rubs your blood along his shaft.

If you’re up for it, he’ll love a blowjob at this point as well.  Nothing gets him to finish quicker than seeing your blood and spit drip onto the floor or into your hands.

These blowjobs never end in a facial, he will absolutely flood your mouth with his cum and watch as you swallow or spit out a nasty combination of his cum and your blood.

KNIFEPLAY

PLEASE TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT HE IS AWFUL TO DO THIS WITH solely because his limits and yours do not always meet up

Seeing his initials (or, God forbid, his full name) on you?  Sign him tf up.  He doesn’t care if he’s the one doing it to you or watching as you do it.  His favorite spot to see his initials/name is on your stomach, second favorite is your ass (good luck sitting), and third favorite is your bicep.

He loves to lick up your blood and sloppily make out with you until your lips are slightly puffy and a combination of your blood and both of your spit is dribbling from your chin.

He will try to use blood as lube, he is actually respectful when it comes to your input on this one since it’s going into you.

Definitely has pictures of you with blood covering your body on his phone.

He doesn’t show these off, considering them just for his eyes (and yours) only.

He is actually attentive to aftercare following anything to do with you getting injured, he doesn’t want to see you wind up with an infection or something.

Showers or bath time if you can, if not he will (lovingly, I promise) use antiseptic spray even if you whimper and cry.  He’ll bandage you up really nice too, occasionally kissing them if he knows he went a little crazy- like cutting his name into you.

[suddenlymicah]

so, we agree that kokichi's love hotel is really interesting, right? for saiouma purposes, of course.

in most of the love hotel events, the characters don't act like themselves. they act a bit differently, and on top of that, don't have their actual roles.

but with kokichi's love hotel event...

they just act like themselves. shuichi is a detective, kokichi is a sly antagonistic thief. shuichi even says says it himself, "Ah, so I'm not a different person here. I'm me, and Kokichi is Kokichi.

this sets it apart from every other love hotel event.

think about it.

notice how all of them are clearly imagining someone else. kaede is imagining a lover, miu a childhood friend. korekiyo is imagining someone that confessed to him, angie a "lower rank"(presumably something related to worship of atua on her island). gonta is imagining an actor(?), and tenko a fellow user of neo-aikido. rantaro is imagining a student, maki is imagining a fellow person at her orphanage. ryoma is imagining a former manager, himiko is imagining an animal she granted a human form with magic, kaito is imagining a rival pilot, and kirumi is imagining the son of an employer. i'm not even touching tsumugi's event.

now, some of them are more unclear, like kiibo's event. it's implied that shuichi is a close friend, but either way, he's not meant to act like shuichi usually acts.

this is all unlike kokichi's event. if anything, SHUICHI is more in-character during the event than kokichi is, but that makes sense, considering kokichi's character. that's an argument for another day, however.

one other think that's odd about his love hotel event is that kokichi leaves.

in all of the other events, the screen just fades to black with the character sprite still standing there. but with kokichi...

he leaves. after playing around with shuichi a little bit, he turns and leaves. NONE of the others are like this.

now, i think it's worth mentioning what the love hotel events are. the danganronpa wiki states; "The student fully believes in the dream scenario even if it is farfetched, but has no memory of the encounter when they wake up, whereas the protagonist is fully aware that it's a dream, and has some foggy memories of the encounter when they wake up." the reason none of the other people leave is because this is a dream on their part, an ideal. in kokichi's ideal, not only is he toying around with SHUICHI, he leaves him pining and confused, just like he does in-game.

But then again, what do I know? This could be not-canon, and thus not saiouma.

[mintmoth]

As someone who used to be heavily into danganronpa, it’s nice to see people take interest into it :]

Idk if you’ve already answered or only played the second game, but who’re your favorites from both THH, UDG and DRV3 (uh sorry if these acronyms get confusing if they do lmk T_T)

OH MAN okay so I'll go in order lmao

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

I played a fan translation of the first game back after everyone was reading it on the something awful forums lmao

I'd have to say my top faves are Asahina and Sakura, they're both just fun and sweet and have a great dynamic between them- which speaking of great dynamics Ishimaru, Mondo, and Chihiro are all fantastic as well, two rambunctious idiots and the most earnest sweetheart 😭😭

Also I like Fukawa and by extension Jack but I'm gonna wrap their head in duct tape if Byakuya gets near lmao

Double Also Celestia has excellent drip

Super Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair

I originally played this one back around like uhhh 2017?? Ish?? Idk I played it and had a blast and loved the cast, which is what made me want to replay it actually

I love them all they're all chefs kiss (except the chef Teruteru himself I'm also wrapping his head in duct tape when I need to)

I'd have to say my top faves would be Gundham, Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko, Ibuki, and Mikan, but really I do very much adore the entire cast and the way the game itself pans out and shows their relationships with one another, they feel like they could all be a really good friend group had things turned out better for them

Also Hajime is my favorite protagonist of the bunch lmao

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

So fun fact about this one I've actually never played it oops

HOWEVER I did get ahold of the manga trilogy- of which they were all used copies so volume 1 has nearly every forward facing character having a little drawn on pencil moustache and volume 2 has an entire panel just cut out of it, honestly I'm surprised the third volume doesn't have anything wrong with it LMAO cursed books

As far as the characters that are specific to this game I did think Shirokuma was quite cute and Asahina's brother was fun while he was around

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony

Okay so this one- I started playing it a few months back because I had actually never gotten around to it back when I first got ahold of it, and it's the one that has my partners favorite character in it lmao

I actually put it down because I got too upset after chapter 4 oops, but now me and one of our friends have been watching my partner play the final hurdle so we've only got the final chapter left 💪💪✨

Character wise I do like Shuichi, Maki, and Kaito and the friendship they build between the three of them a lot, I also liked Ryoma more than I anticipated and I adore Gonta 😭

Miu can be fun and god I want to like her more than I do but then she says things and she's getting a triple duct tape wrap LMAO

Kirumi and Korekiyo have AMAZING aesthetics tho I gotta give them a shout out for that

[shima-draws]

Okay so. I'm like, 99% done with V3 and I realized I've barely shared like any of my thoughts here so. SPOILERS AHEAD

-The fact that Ryoma wanted to die and was fighting to find something to live for only to find out that he had NOTHING...that shit was sad bro

-Was NOT expecting Kirumi at all but in retrospect it's the least suspicious ones that you should be the most suspicious of. Also her execution was p brutal

-ANGIE WITH THE CULT...the fact that she managed to brainwash half the group had me terrified. Also her Atua worshipping got real old real fast. I hate religious cults lmao I was literally sitting there like "I REALLY hope she's the one to die this chapter" bc if I had to read one more sentence of her being like "Atua will save us all <3" I WOULD have gone to play in traffic.

-Angie needed to go but TENKO 😭 She was just a hopeless lesbian in love with Himiko she did not deserve what happened to her

-Speaking of Himiko I was kinda meh about her at first but after the chapter 3 trial her character developed so wonderfully...it was so nice to see her grow and change and learn to express herself 🥺

-TRAINING TRIO MY BELOVED FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER I would kill for them genuinely.

-My hatred for Kokichi only grew as time went on but after forcing Gonta to kill. MAN. That trial was so heartbreaking Gonta was just trying his best to protect everyone :"( Kokichi's such a little shit

-Kaito brushing off his illness as just him being afraid of ghosts AGGHHHH I knew there was something wrong from the start but seeing it progress and get worse was just 😭 I was literally sitting there like. Does he have a terminal illness. Oh my god he's going to die isn't he. NO HE'S MY FAVORITE PLEASEEEEE

-Was NOT expecting the space colony twist but even more so was the fact that the world ended...not once, but TWICE

-Me during chapter 4: How much you wanna bet next chapter Kokichi's gonna get killed and Kaito's gonna be the one who kills him Me during the chapter 5 trial: FUCKING. CALLED IT!!!!!!

-MAKI FALLING FOR KAITO and admitting it right before his execution.......my heart can't TAKE this shit please!!!!

-Kaito dying from his illness before the execution was even over...Monokuma being pissed about it...everyone looking at him and going HA BITCH YOU THOUGHT! Kaito beat you!!

-Also me during all this: NOT KAITO THAT'S SHUICHI'S EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BOYFRIEND

-Keebo going off the rails was not on my 2024 bingo card but here we are

-KAEDE DIED FOR NO REASON?? She didn't actually kill Rantaro. My girl was innocent after all huh 😔

-Me, 3 chapters in: Tsumugi is so boring she literally brings nothing to the plot whatsoever. She's just...there Me, during the chapter 6 class trial: OHHHH. THAT WAS INTENTIONAL. I KNEW they wouldn't just have a useless character that should have been my first clue honestly

-Also me: Why do the Monocubs even exist. They've done nothing but comedy routines and die this entire time. They're literally pointless?? I've been watching Game Grumps play V3 and every time they come on screen Dan and Arin collectively sigh together. LMAO

-Imagine me with my jaw on the FLOOR once everything was revealed to be fictional. It's all a lie?? They Truman Show'd this shit?? Neither of the first two games MATTERED?? (A friend explained that DRV3 is in a separate universe than the first two games so that calmed me down a little lmao I would have been so pissed if it were actually the case that everyone from the first two games were just. Not real. Didn't actually exist. It was all faked)

Anyway I'm not completely done with the game yet I'm at the tail end of the chapter 6 trial so we'll see how things go from here 😬 This has been a wild ride. An emotional rollercoaster for sure

[wewerebornsextuplets]

thinking about the kiru and kara dynamic again. in particular karas view of her is very amusing to me

[hajihiko]

Now that youre done with v3 may I ask about what your final thoughts on each character are? (Briefly, if you dont feel like elaborating too much-- like a senstence each maybe?)

Ok warning for opinions: I'm not head over heels for a lot of the cast

Shuichi- sweet boy I like his emo vibes (both in jest and also how he's actually pretty emotional)

Kaede- sweet girl gone to soon :'( why do this to the girl Protag

Kaito- fun guy I like him I hate his hair. Hypocrite (character trait) (not moral judgement) (affectionate)

Maki- grew on me a lot her expressions are cute. Also hypocrite (same brackets as above)

Himiko- good voice acting and I guess the character development was pretty good! Never grabbed me as a character tho

Keebo: my beloved. I didn't think he'd be so important! Thank you for being helpful and rational sweet robo boy.

Tenko: I've been told the translation made her a lot more aggressive than the original Japanese text but she sooooo annoying about the Degenerate Male thing and it was too much of her dialogue

Angie: most fun design, biggest cutie. I know she was kind of sinister sometimes but I forgive her BC I actually enjoyed the time she was on screen.

Korekiyo: coolest design, actually kind of intriguing character, but then the backstory hit... I dunno I could continue to be interested I guess but it's a little weird now.

Miu: I liked her more at the start but then I feel like she didn't grow at all? It's like she started being a bit different when Kaede was still protagging and then she just didn't stop being The Overtly Loud And Suggestive One.

Gonta: darling. Precious. Probably one of the saddest cases :(

Ryoma: I'm biased because fsr I liked him from the start. Didn't get a chance to develop much. Get him some therapy.

Oh my god there's so many of them aughshdh

Rantaro: pretty and good voice. What a waste of a good design since we didn't get to see him do like anything

Kirumi: I like her potential and I probably would have ended up liking her if she'd lived, but kudos for being one of the few calm and helpful characters.

Tsumugi: props for being incredibly unassuming if I hadn't already known. They really made her just boring enough to be not suspicious, but not too boring to be suspicious again. Annoying voice tho

Kokichi: only surpassed by the monokubs in how much l don't like him.

Monokubs: die

The Most Unfair Hand...

Miu!? MIU!

Huh? UGH!?

*Miu is in for a bit of a rude awakening. As she, Keebo, and Mii-Yu finally make it back to the Future Foundation's main building to reunite with the others, Kaede is horrified to see her bandaged up and with a walking stick to support her movements. Instinctively, she hugs her, but this just causes further discomfort.

Too much! TOO MUCH! Let go!

A-Ah!? Sorry!

*She quickly pulls away.

Good to see the both of you are still in one piece.

Same to you lot. Looks like you took a few good hits though.

...I'll live. Just need to stay off it for a while. The important thing is that we're all okay.

...I knew you could do it...

*Kaede gently pats Miu's shoulder, comfortingly.

Thanks Kaede....

Miu is very happy because the Future Foundation have said they are planning to give her a reward for her noble heroics today.

H-Hey! That part can wait for later!

Really!? Go you!

Nagh...You guys are the real heroes. I had one cool moment, but you're the one's I was worried about.

Yes...Did anything of note happen in the factory?

...

...Keebo...I do have a favor I need to ask you....

——————————————————————

*Back in the main FF building, Shuichi and the others walk slowly towards the hospital wing as to keep pace with Miu, who walks along with her walking stick to help her.

I...cannot believe that Rantaro actually...

...My creator...

Don't worry...If all goes well, we should be able to undo everything...But there's something I need you to take a look at.

*Shuichi removes the Symmetra Matrix from his ear and hands it over to Keebo.

This is Rantaro's weapon he uses to create his light constructs. If you don't mind, I need you to run an analysis on it and see if you can find any information stored within it?

...Not saying I won't, but why?

Let's just say something happened in the factory when I used this thing that I wasn't expecting, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it. You're the one I trust most when it comes to analysis.

In that case, I'll do my best.

*Shuichi and Kaede lead their friends into a private room that the rest of their classmates are inhabiting. Several pieces of medical equipment and technology line the bed, and Miu's eyes immediately fall on the important thing.

What the FUCK!?

!!!???

H-Himiko...!?

...

...

...Oh good...You're ok...!

*Kirumi holds Miu and gently kisses her forehead, relieved that she's in one piece.

Forget me, wh-what is THIS!?

[funishment-time]

I'm gonna be real I haven't even seen the original question list, BUT you did say to keep asking for 17, and I DO like hearing headcanons. So. What about 17?

YES!! thank you thank you

17. List five headcanons for your favorite characters!

Sayaka's things she isn't proud of? dangerous sabotaging of rival groups: messing with their food etcetera to make them extremely sick but not kill them, Things like that. she got the idea from the bio-terrorism part of the documentary Wild Wild Country, which she once overheard her dad watching. and, anyway, it's easy enough to "accidentally" find ways on Tiktok to just slightly poison people, all billed as pranks, so no one's the wiser. she is, believe it or not, a relatively calm person, but extremely paranoid about her career, and sort-of blacks out into a Different Person of Bad Decisions when she feels backed into a corner

in a non-despair AU that includes all the franchise's characters, one of the reasons Junko gives up on the idea of a Killing Game is that she can't convince the more powerful members of Class 79 to her side. after getting turned down by Angie and Kirumi, she figures fucking with people like everyone's annoying little sister is probably an Easier way to get her kicks

everyone makes fun of Byakuya for the time Hina punched him for like, the rest of their lives. it's pretty Dope

we're told that the reason that the NWP had so many Safeguards on it was not In Case Of Enoshima but actually in case of Usami and Chiaki going rogue. what we're not told is that AI Chiaki has tons of restrictions on her programming to stop her from turning the NWP into a despair-filled gamer version of the music video to "Unholy." she, in herself, was a Gamble. she's essentially a robot that woke up the avenging angel of a girl that was tortured to death, a robot tasked with healing a load of terrorists who, quite frankly, may not deserve it. she was hugely dangerous, and Usami really means it when she says Chiaki breaking her own limitations to act for the greater good was a miracle

Komaru dates both Syo and Toko. Syo is the "fun" one, and Toko is the "domestic" one. if Komaru tries to talk to Syo about bills she nopes out to the back of the headspace and makes Toko discuss that Boring shit

BONUS: The Despair Twins are autistic. Mukuro's hyperfixation is weaponry, and her empathy is in another room. anhedonic Junko is so good at analyzing and masking it's a SHSL talent for her. she Enjoys it, really
