DRK Volume 7 Review (Super long and full of spoilers)

Oof…

I’m struggling to put my thoughts into words for this…

So erm… that just happened /ref

The amount of screenshots I took of this volume are enough to kill a small Victorian child at the thought of it.

The beginning of the novel is actually so devastating but it’s actually even worse when you know the ending.

Yui is mentally forced to be the culprit of the Duel Noir, because Shinsen says that if she doesn’t, he’ll kidnap Kyoko.

Didn’t know that before actually reading the novel, lowkey thought Yui just wanted revenge.

Then Shinsen stabs himself in the head… how interesting! 🤐

Crazy tho that Shinsen wanted to frame Fuhito for it, I really really wanted to know what happened to Fuhito after, how he denied the allegations and whatever.

The part (aka page 70) that made me actually cry was, “The room was tidied up to the point where I wouldn’t feel ashamed even if my parents suddenly came to visit, but now it even gives the impression of loneliness. I threw away all my diaries and photos too.

There’s no place to go back to- it’s the same for me.

Most likely, I will never come back here.

I put my coat hanging on the hanger, and walked out of the room with my backpack on.”

Umm- ☹️

There’s so much.

So so much.

Feelings that I felt during this volume and I literally can’t summarize it.

Honestly though the insane amount of kiridare content was so sickening, why do they tease us like this.

“Our relationship,” WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT???

Unnecessary ambiguity…

Society…

The things I would do for a “DRK :If” are crazy, there’s this artist on twitter (amazing artist btw they’re @/Aayoii00) who drew a DRK: If novel cover and now it makes me want to write a fanfic about it.

Anyway…

Should probably talk abt the ending…

It’s SICKENING.

Kyoko really was trying to handcuff herself to Yui so that they couldn’t kill her.

But then that pedo Kuhain came and shot Yui in the back.

Like stay dead my guy.

Then stabbed Kyoko in the hand 😭 and then tried to shoot her…

And honestly I think we need to talk more about how Kyoko literally wanted to die that entire time.

She didn’t even try to move away from the shot, Yui had to save her by throwing him off a cliff.

And we as a society don’t talk about Kyoko’s mental health as much as we should.

Like the whole time she was trying to be with Yui or save her.

She was ready to take that arrow to the head, she was prepared to burn to save her, she literally almost died of hypothermia because she REFUSED to leave Yui when she was already dead.

Like I know we all know how Kyoko is reserved and whatever, but we need a DEEP DIVE into her mind.

Maybe I’ll do that later…

Ok, so Kyoko had a total of three scars on her (left?) hand I forgor which one, a bullet shot, burn scars, and a stab wound, but both hands are burned, just putting that out there.

ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS TWO CULPRITS?????

Yui was the first culprit and Yuhain was the second, so Yui could’ve lived anyway and it literally didn’t matter???????

Also I think Yui should have had more faith in Kyoko, like Fuhito said, she would’ve been fine, she didn’t need to save her from a “kidnapping” but they used her trauma against her so I guess it makes sense.

Overall the volume is truly really good, 9/10, a good backstory for Kyoko, now I can finally move on to finishing Kirigiri Sou again, and rereading DR0.

Today I will be doing my three quotes AND a small playlist of songs I love and remind me of Yui and Kyoko.

1. “On the way back to the dormitory, I saw a young girl standing with her back against a zelkova tree.

It's Kirigiri.

She is looking in the direction of the church from a distance, her hands in the pockets of her coat, and she is exhaling white breath.

In the shade cast by a few rays of sunlight leaking through the clouds, her profile is almost indistinguishable from the soft snowflakes, which looks like as if she would soon disappear into nothingness.

She noticed my presence and turned to me. I waved at her, she seemed embarrassed, looked away, and got away from the tree.”

2. “‘Compared to that time, your expressions got richer’

‘That time?’

Kirigiri tilted her head.

"’When we first met. Wasn't it the same time as now, walking in the snow together? You weren't putting on a face that could be called an expression at all, making it look like you were already frozen from the cold.’

‘Maybe it was actually frozen.’ Kirigiri said emotionlessly.

‘Because it was very cold.’”

3. “‘You- can't understand the hearts of others. No matter how perfect your reasoning is, you can't understand other people's feelings. That's your weakness.’

‘I... I'm trying to understand! I've never in my life tried this hard to understand! but even so, even so...’

‘I'm sorry, Kirigiri-chan, this is all I can do.’ l embraced her.

It was a very sinful act, and even though my hands are stained. I couldn't help but do it when I thought of all the time I have spent with her.

Kirigiri buried her face in my arms.

‘And the promise to braid my hair?’

She asked.

‘One day... for sure.’”

And here’s the small playlist:

welcome and goodbye - Dream, Ivory (not Dream the MC player btw 😭)

forget her - girl in red

I Guess - Mitski

Motion Sickness - Phoebe Bridgers (very basic idc)

The Night We Met - Lord Huron

Ribs - Lorde

Sunflower - Michele Leigh

FF FILE #15-1

SUBJECT: THE CAPTIVES OF DESPAIR

A group of 14 people has been classified as terrorists to the Future Foundation. This group is dubbed the captives of despair. This group, unfortunately, has great importance to the 15th branch as it is the loved ones of the 78th class. They were captured as motives for the 78th class to motivate them to kill. When that didn’t work, the captives were forced to watch their loved ones being tortured over and over again. Each one presumed that their loved one was dead and they all ended up spiraling into an deep, unwavering despair. Each member has caused chaos in Towa City and has even scared the Warriors of Hope “shitless”.  Members of the group are Kanon Nakajima, Komaru Neagi, Hiroko Hagakure, Taakiaki Ishimaru, Fujiko Yamada, Kameko, Grand Bois Cher Ludenburg, Fuhito kirigiri, Takemichi Yukimaru, Taichi Fujisaki, Yuta Asahina, Kenishiro, Aloysis Pennyworth, and Ayaka Hanemya. It should be noted that somehow Kameko and Grand Bois were originally animals but now have humanoid forms. We have no clue how they got transformed. We presumed it was so that they could feel despair and so that they could understand what was happing to their owners fully. Agents Fukawa and Ludenburg were surprised by their pets transformations. 

Most of the captives work alone but there are two separate groups. One consists of Fuhito and Takiaaki. They work together and cause mayhem by twisting the law and framing others for murder. The other one consists of Kanon, Hiroko and Ayaka. They work together to lure and kill people with the promise of shelter and hospitality. These two groups are highly dangerous as unlike the individual members, their reach is farther. The agents connected to these members were in great distress when learn of this.

There are also locations where some of the members reside. Locations include the abandoned towa factory, the detective library, TAT TV headquarters, Antoinette Casino, and the abandoned apartment building that has now been turned into a lab of sorts. While we know their bases of operations, we have found it difficult to catch the members of The Captives of Despair regardless.

OKAY SO I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING RELATED TO MY DANGANRONPA AU!

So I was looking at random pictures, hoping to find some to edit/draw and saw Jin, aka Kyoko's dad

So I remember Jin from the first game and I remember I had a moment where my brain where I thought "he kind of reminds me of Mondo's bro bro" and moved on with my life

So now my sis is watching Game Grump's playthrough of the games and she made a comment on the first picture by asking me if Daiya and Mondo are the same age, after I said Daiya is maybe a few years older than Mondo she told me she saw his hair and thought it was him So to me I can't ignore that

So-

LET ME EXPLAIN!!!

Fuhito in this AU had three children, two sons and one daughter, one of the sons is Jin as in canon. So depending how I work with this AU either the daughter or son pass, leaving the remainder and Jin as heirs until A) Sister gets pregnant before marriage or B) Brother gets his girlfriend pregnant, either way the two ran off and raised their kid on their own away from the Kirigiri family

Edit: My sister thinks it'll be cool Mondo and Daiya would technically be cousins but would be raised as brothers in childhood and raised in the Owada household so let's go with that!

So in this AU Kyoko is Mondo's cousin and now picture him treating her like a sister and threatening to beat up someone if they look at her funny

The Dollmaker of Pride

The Shadow of Fuhito Kirigiri, the twisted mastermind behind the Sickening Theatre of puppets and crime.

[woesunf]

I wish we got this design of Fuhito

He looks like a dorky old guy in canon, but I think it’d make more sense if he looked like a scary old dude.

They should’ve gave the other design to Kirigiri’s other grandfather lol.

[hopeymchope]

Having finally finished reading the DR Kirigiri light novels, here are my closing thoughts and questions.

(For background, I read these translations. Which - as I previously discussed in the first bullet of this post here - may have some small issues throughout.)

I've previously given y'all my report on how I felt / what I was thinking about this series just after passing the halfway point of the light novels, so now it's time for me to bring this whole thing home and offer some closing thoughts.

My first, dominating thought is that this would be so good to see adapted as an anime. I can easily imagine how many episodes it'd take to do each light novel and where you'd logically cut off the story... even more easy, though, would be a manga. It's definitely crying out for that kind of treatment.

Regardless of the (relatively minor) gripes I raise below? This is definitely a great series to read. You get a number of twisty, gripping mysteries, an easy-to-like lead duo, an imposingly powerful enemy force, new background on our favorite lavender-hued detective, and you even get some great new characters added to the mythos — what more do you want?

Okay, but now I'll get into the griping stuff :P For starters: Isn't it... kind of LAME to have Kirigiri repeatedly experience something so similar to the basic setup of DR1 (or any mainline Danganronpa game, really) on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS prior to DR1 ever happening??? But then she just never remotely reference any fo that experience? And YESs, of course I realize she never even obliquely references these events because these prequels weren't actually written by the time of DR1, nor even completed by DR3. But that's the kind of thing you typically want to avoid with prequels, right? ...... Even so, I guess this does take us farther into these stories deserving to be called "Danganronpa" than any other spinoff. And it's not hard to come up with excuses for why she never remotely hinted at these things; she's intentionally acting withdrawn and keeping info to herself throughout DR1 and DR3, after all. So it's not the WORST crime. It's just, like I said: kind of lame.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, let me clarify: Although the cases in DRK don't include a "mutual killing" element, you still get at least three cases where she's [1] trapped in a specific building alongside a group of people who include a killer/"mastermind," the cast subsequently being picked off one by one, and [2] said experiences are also broadcast to a viewing audience. In fact, you even get two cases where [3] the trapped participants are expected to take specific bedrooms to lock themselves in during the nighttime! And even [4] one case where there's a weird, automated "host character" overseeing the whole thing, which is being operated around a specific set of rules. That's a helluva thing, isn't it?

I've previously expressed GREAT TREPIDATION about one specific element of this series: I was told that supposedly, these light novels included evidence that Fuhito was manipulating Kyoko into hating her father, her dad was always a victim, and Kyoko never realized that she was basically molded from birth by someone who was manipulating her feelings and actions. It all made Kyoko considering Fuhito her "most imporant person" (per DR1 and UDG's captives) come off as this tragic tale where our supposed "master detective" never realized she's been a victim of gaslighting and manipulation for many years, which would change SO MUCH CONTEXT behind her life's work and her relationships with both Jin and Fuhito. HOWEVER, GUESS WHAT? None of that shit was even true! HUZZAH!!!! NOTHING in these light novels goes against what we already knew about Kyoko, Jin, Fuhito, or their relationship(s) with one another... though there is some minor new insight provided into a couple of details. We get a new look at how Jin actually cared about Kyoko from afar (via the "Jin Ex Machina" business I mentioned in the previous post), which is in line with the hints of his lingering love for her we tasted in both DR1 and DR3 without either exonerating him for his choices OR making him 100% correct. We repeatedly watch Kyoko questioning/doubting her grandfather's/family's longstanding "detective work must come above and before personal concerns" rules. And we also get a taste of Fuhito being protective of Kyoko when he learns of the kind of danger she's in — yet simultaneously having complete trust in her talent and ability to overcome said danger. Fuhito seems to even gently help Kyoko understand Samidare's actions near of the end of the final volume... although we only get a taste of his help via Kyoko's internal thoughts, so we don't know exactly what he said to her. TL/DR? My point is simply this: The DRK light novels keep the overall morality / goodness of Kyoko's family dynamics in the same place we already understood them from the games: Kyoko and Fuhito are very close and care about each other without being overtly emotional about it, there is a rift between Jin and the rest of his family over Fuhito priortizing case work above visiting his dying daughter on her deathbed, Jin clearly still concerns/cares that linger for his daughter, etc.

What's with so many scenes of "Black Challenges" or "Duel Noirs" having signs defaced to include the word "DESPAIR"? Is that just some extra branding for the main franchise's themes? Feels out of place.

I feel bad for all those orphans who adored this dude.

General thoughts on numerous new-to-DR characters: As I said in my last post about this series, Samidare is likeable but spends most of the series very thinly defined — plus she's pretty slow on the uptake. Thankfully, by Volume 4 she starts finally pulling her weight, and she gets some much-needed expansion of her background in Volume 7 (just in time for her to make some dumb decisions). Licorne is probably the second-most important new character, and he's an asshole. An interesting one, though! And he does some heroic things! .... even if he isn't really all that morally invested in helping people. He's a self-centered asshole for most of the series, frankly, and I don't care much whether he's around or not. Salvadore Yadorigi Fukuro is awesome; a straight-up superb character with a very "DR" kind of skill/talent. Yaki Hajiki is a character who's also hard to dislike, and I wish he got more "screen time," because he's very intriguing. Johnny Arp is a fascinating one, though he definitely shares some dickish behavior with Lico. Still, I'm always engaged when he's on the page. And... look, I'm fond of Meruko "Pumpkinhead" Mifune. She's fun, sure, but I also see real potential for depth that isn't explored herin.

My remaining observations/thoughts contain some spoilers for the Danganronpa Kirigiri series, so I'm putting the rest UNDER THE BELOW CUT... although I still avoid mentioning the identities of any culprits or masterminds so as to keep the primary case mysteries intact.

Yadorigi = Intelligent, quiet dude in sunglasses who looks like the answer to "What if Munakata found his chill?"

What, exactly, is the state of Yadorigi's eyesight by the end of the series? Initially, we learn that his unique eyesight is very important to his work in uncovering fraud. Later, after a blow to the head, we're told that his eyesight will never be the same as it previously was. In the final volume, he visits Kyoko while wielding a white cane. So uh... does that cane imply that SYF is now blind or very close to it? Or am I reading too much into a walking stick here?

Nothing infuriates me quite as much as when major problems in a story could be easily resolved via basic fucking communication, and a failure to communicate on a base level is absolutely CORE to why things go south in the seventh and final volume. By the time Kyoko and Yui are heading out to the case, the situation is this: Without Kyoko's knowledge, our redacted overarching mastermind (henceforth referred to as "ROM") tried to get Samidare to agree to be the culprit in this final Black Challenge. She refused. ROM then said their organization (the Crime Victim's Relief Committee) will eliminate Kyoko if Samidare doesn't play along. And then, right after saying this? ROM pretty clearly DIED right in front of Samidare, before she can ever express any intention of changing her mind or not. She is then confronted by the enigmatic Tokichiro Endo, who is basically the go-between for culprits and the organization, who demands her final answer. Based on what happens in the case immediately after this, it appears that this conversation somehow ended with Samidare refusing to be the true culprit in this case but ALSO accepting that she would be framed for the murders and take the fall. So now Samidare has a choice to make: Does she (A) trust the Crime Victims' Relief Committee to keep their promise and leave Kyoko alone so long as she keeps her mouth shut...... even though Samidare refused to meet their demands and become the case's culprit? OOOORRR does Yui (B) realize that the Committee has already broken their supposed "rules" by forcibly coercing her into being the culpri — not to mention the fact that they're routinely aiding and abetting murders — which adds up to mean that she can't trust their word and must warn Kyoko of the danger she's in now that the committee has threatened her life directly? Any thinking person should choose (B), but Samidare of course chooses (A) so the plot will happen. *FACEPALM*

The worst part of this is that EVEN when our two heroines have just barely escaped from a burning building and fled out into freezing conditions, leaving them on the razor's edge between two possible methods of death with everyone else from the case seemingly already being dead? Samidare STILL won't outright deny being the case's culprit when accused. With literally NO REASON LEFT not to come clean, she never says jack shit. And then she dies!

During the denouement, the conclusion Kyoko reaches after leaving the hospital and revisiting the scene is... murky, and I think this might be something caused by the translation methods used. It currently reads as though Kyoko reaches the correct conclusion about the case, accurately determining Samidare's innocent AND identifying the true culprit(s). However... she doesn't seem to be 100% confident in her decision? It sounds like Kiri still harbors some lingering doubts about Samidare possibly being guilty?..... Even though she sounds really confident in her (correct) conclusions immediately before that. So it's left ambiguous. Which, I suppose, is one way to maintain Kiri being the Best Detective while simultaneously leaving room for her line in DR1 about how her burns happened because she "trusted the wrong person." She almost entirely knows that she didn't actually trust the wrong person, but they have to leave some doubt so that line can exist? ...... IF this translation is even accurate on this part.

Say... why did Samidare believe she'd die on this mission? It wasn't actually any more inherently dangerous than any other mission her and Kyoko had gone on... LESS dangerous than some, I'd argue! But she prepares this whole letter for her eventual death, so she clearly thought it was a strong possibility. My only guess is that she believed Kyoko was going to be targeted for death, and she planned to fulfill her oft-promised role as Kyoko's human shield. But if that was REALLY something Samidare thought was going to happen, then she had NO REASON to not tell Kyoko the truth about everything. If they're already out to kill Kiri, then OF COURSE it's smartest to warn her about it! So: Why the "last letter"? What made you think you were fucked, Yui?

In the end, ROM's overarching mission is both a success and a failure. Do they take away Kyoko's main emotional attachment, making her withdraw even further into pure logic so she'll avoid getting hurt? Yes. Do they make her deny the value of such attachments in the first place, resulting in her staying isolated forever after? No. She 95% knows she's right about Samidare's innocence in spite of ROM's attempts to frame her; it's just the pain of the loss that makes Kyoko withdraw, not some grander conclusion about distrusting everyone. In fact? I'd argue that Kyoko's speech in DR1's Chapter 4 about accounting for emotions is a strong rebuke of ROM's entire view of the world.

....by the way, does ROM have their own copy of Junko's talent??! It sure seems like they're another "Ultimate Analyst," essentially; able to see patterns of behavior so clearly that they can essentially predict most future events.

[whiskeylucciano]

I definitely should be working rn but im having dangan tma au thoughts so. i'm making that tumblr's problem

hajime is the mc, a regular guy with no life plans or friends who gets a job at the institute of hope (hpa but its focused on the research instead of the school) to have something to put on his CV. gets archivist-ed

he's a part of the junior department. its basically an internship program. the other members are -

murasame soshun : fellow regular guy ! no supernatural encounters yet but has an irrational fear of ghosts. the (unofficial) manager. helps hajime around to begin with and they get along well. probably the most mentally well in the group though he definitely overworks himself hard + puts other people's needs ahead of his own. depending on how i decide to have the story go, he gets lonely'd

fujisaki chihiro : tech support. bit of a recluse. in a constant battle to get anything in the archives recorded on something that isn't paper, so she ends up helping hajime in sorting the archives fairly often. not totally sure if i want her to end up as an avatar? if i did though it would probably be eye, flesh or spiral

gekkougahara miaya : ok she's here i haven't planned very far beyond that. i'm thinking she does a lot of the online research on statements? her and chihiro often work together on both of their jobs though. she probably stays human. i think nwp trio needs at least one human lol

matsuda yasuke : end avatar w/angsty backstory. love making my favs suffer. more of a forensic pathologist than a neurologist in this au, but just as self-taught. technically a part of the junior department but doesn't leave his office/lab area unless forced to.. which is mostly when the proper ioh workers need him for shit. soshun, chihiro and miaya visit him because they actually somewhat get along with him. hajime, however-

there's also their actual boss, kirigiri jin, and chisa/kyosuke/kouichi/etc work in the main part of the facility. juuzou exists but probably works elsewhere (probably as a cop or sth). jin is an eye avatar (+ probably kouichi too), kyosuke is a lonely avatar, im not certain about the rest yet. desolation juuzou seems fitting i think?

i have some characters who i want to have join the archival team later in the story but i also haven't planned most of that story yet so. lol. sato joins after an end encounter (twilight syndrome murder case-adjacent, kuzuryuus are end-aligned). i'm not sure if shinobu gets employed there but. she's a journalist ! she has connections ! just don't worry about her family i'm sure there's nothing weird happening there (togami corp is buried-aligned, but shinobu is eye-aligned if anything). nagito isn't an archival assistant but he's a vast avatar, and the first avatar that hajime knowingly interacts with. he collects leitners and provides info to hajime but he's also kind of a prick. he still self-depreciates he just also kinda worships the fears and considers all human life worthless. and he doesn't THINK he's being that rude but wow this hajime guy sure is sure of himself better remind him of his (unimportant) place in the universe. also he's very much rooting for the guys carrying out the fear rituals so thats fun.

+ you can't forget the former archivist, who had to be kirigiri kyouko. who else would it be. born to the kirigiris who run their own eye-aligned info-gathering organisation (their detective agency), and mostly raised by fuhito to be the heir of it. befriends samidare yui in a way basically the same as in dr kirigiri (but with more . supernatural crimes), and over time comes to question her family's dealings with the fears. comes to the institute of hope to figure out what happened to jin, but leaves mysteriously w/yui and nobody has heard from them since.

and thats it for the main cast ! there's other characters i have plans for (i have an imposter statement planned, and i want sayaka to start a stranger ritual... junko is also important i'm just not 100% sure how im going to handle her part in the story and how much of what i have planned i want to put in a summary post. and so on)

maybe i'll actually write some of this as a fic later. Who knows

[despair-to-future-arcs]

The Search For Despair...

[X]

How... how do you know...?

———————————————————————–

Well I think given what type of person Makoto is; I had a feeling he would help those in Class 77 and Hajime, it's in his nature after all.

But since those guys at Future Foundation are having a investigation; I think if you really want to learn my reasons to why I hate Hope's Peak and why I did all this; you'll need help from the Remnants of Despairs - they know where the files were at after all.

———————————————————————–

So they know but why bring this up?

...

...

———————————————————————–

Well I know you well Kyoko, your the type that will do anything to solve a case; even throw someone under the bus for it! It's in your nature to do it after all.

But here's the question; can Future Foundation be willing to do all this especially if it's about the fate of Hope's Peak Academy and them planning to rebuild it thus history repeating itself and thus another version of me will appear?

But knowing Future Foundation; there's noooo way they'll work with the Remanats of Despairs, it be like mixing water and oil together! Totally impossible for any cooperation to come out of this!

Hope vs Despair, truly... I wonder which one will come out on top in this but yet again; it could go either way but I surely will watch in the after life.

———————————————————————–

So what your saying is that we need help from the Remanats of Despairs to help with the investigation and find out why you did this?

———————————————————————–

Yep yep, you got it; pretty much the Remnants of Despairs and Future Foundation have to work together and gather clues - think of it as one final class trial and figure the mystery of Hope's Peak Academy and why I did what I did!

If you guys can, will Hope's Peak stay close and never open or will history repeats itself... the choice is yours.

Annnyways, that's the introduction for now; you better go collecting those files and USBs so you can learn more about this! See yaaaaa!

*CLICK!*

Wa-Wait! I still need to learn more...!

———————————————————————–

'While you also go into the investigation, the USBs will also contain numbers for the password so you if your interested in me; you better find them too, good luck~.'

PASSWORD: ---------------------------

'Use the notebook if you need to cross reference...'

...Seems that's all I can get.

So that's her plan, she wants us to find these clues and learn her reasons to why she destory Hope's Peak Academy; I guess I should expect no less to learn from someone like her.

So... what now? Given what she say and knowing Future Foundation, they aren't going to work with the Remnants of Despairs.

Indeed so, how are you going to convince them Kyoko?

I'll... think of someway to convince them but given who's in charge; I'll need to speak with Nagi first and then get a meeting with the Future Foundation higher ups...

Let's just hope Kyosuke can listen to reason.
