Chibi Mermay - Haiji

Since making Artworks for all the side characters would take me another 2-3 years I decided to take a shortcut and release their designs as Chibis instead. This way I can finish up the Mermaid series this year and start a new series afterwards!

I hope that’s still fine with everyone.

Haiji’s fins are based of a Kraken.

I’m thinking about making these Stickers or Acrylic Charms in the future. I’d love to get some feedback from you guys, if anyone would be interested in that.

While there isn't much good to say about him, even villains have to celebrate their birthdays too don't they? Who knows, despite everything, if he got some of his issues sorted out he could start to be a pretty good guy! Maybe??

👑 Happy Birthday Haiji Towa!

As ridiculous as this whole situation sounds - the ‘Who Would Let a Literal Gradeschooler Help Run a Company’ kind of bollocks - this... throws into sharp relief just how corrupt and twisted Tokuichi and Haiji both were.

See the way Haiji talks here: he proposes this idea that Monaca ‘took advantage of the position’, while in the same breath saying that he and his dad let her ‘do whatever’, just as long as she brought Towa Group good money. So in reality, they were the ones taking advantage of Monaca, using her for her genius. That’s how she even got that position in Towa Group to begin with.

Up until Monaca’s ‘promotion’, the family hated her and treated her terribly. The fact that they believed that her body was badly damaged, without even doing anything to confirm or treat it, would suggest that they were keeping her isolated at home while abusing her, and as such, didn’t want that to be found out. And this alone isn’t the entire story- remember that Monaca is an illegitimate child, and though Tokuichi hated her so, took her in anyway. There’s a good chance that he thought sending her to an orphanage would be the worst option for him, as opposed to keeping her hidden away in his sights. The only time the two were ‘nice’ to her was when she pulled the ‘paraplegic trick’ in order to make the others kinder to her, and sometime thereafter, her talents were put to use seemingly for the company’s sake.

It was as if the perceived injury shifted the balance of power in the family. With this in mind, as Haiji despised Monaca for being an ‘alien’, and with the added layer of her success over him, he painted her however he liked in his disgust, removing himself from the picture. The truth of the matter is that the two adults were the ones responsible for a terrible oversight that inflamed the Tragedy, but with Haiji’s antipathy towards Monaca’s existence, he doesn’t even want to associate with her, much less take accountability for her present situation.

The idea that Monaca would ‘one day ruin the family’ may have referred to her ‘bastard child’ status, but right here? It was because neither adult would take responsibility for her, and left her mind and talent open to a predator. Of course, it’s not like anyone who preyed on her before would care about such a thing happening, and they certainly wouldn’t frame their own behaviour as that, when it would be much more convenient to lump the blame on their victim.

Have a look at the memoirs of the Warriors of Hopes’ parents again, and see if you notice the distorted way they talk about their kids. If we wouldn’t take what they said at face value, why would we do the same with Monaca’s family?

Omg so haiji towa core!!!! >_< (jail)

unpopular opinion of the day but y’all need to get off of monaca’s ass.

like literally she’s just a traumatized preteen like all the other warriors of hope and she deserves the same amount of love and forgiveness that you give to the other four.

monaca was neglected by her parents, sexually abused by haiji, and then manipulated by junko, no wonder she’s fucked up in the head! everyone processes trauma differently and her disorders made her do terrible things, yes, but she deserves love and support and she deserves to recover just like the others.

Liam decided to visit Haiji after a long day of monarch work. (Liam's a king now if you aren't aware.)

Haiji had been busy doing some intense spring cleaning. He didn’t know when he first got started, but he was drained by the time he was done.

He just finished taking a shower and getting dressed. “Holy shit, much better…!” Ready to relax for the rest of the day, he collapsed on his sofa.

Incidentally, part of the reason you know UDG was meant for a much bigger follow-up than the quick wrap-up that DR3 gave it is actually because of Haiji. The game's most despicable character.

We already know it wasn't meant to end here because it ends on a sequel hook. Nothing has been solved, Towa City remains every bit as much in crisis as it ever was, but Komaru and Toko will stick it out until the day is finally saved.

Then it gives us three images to tease us for what's to come.

There's confessed pedophile and sister-beater Haiji looking absolutely sinister, leading the adults against the Monokuma horde.

The sympathetic villains we've come to care about, fighting for their lives against the Monokuma Kids who are now thoroughly turned against them by Monaca.

And Monaca herself, now firmly stepping into the role of Junko 3.0.

Of these three slides, Monaca is the one that gets the most focus in DR3. They spend a bit of time wrapping up her story (and I've spoken at length at how much I prefer their ending for her to whatever UDG was doing here).

The Warriors also get a quick bit of follow-up. We never find out how they got out of the whole "dragged away and beaten by Monokuma Kids" situation but they're shown to be alive, well, and 100% Team Koko/Toko now.

These four were always characters destined for a softer ending. UDG goes to great lengths to examine how sympathetic and tragic they are. But it does feel like we skipped over quite a bit to get from where UDG left them to them being best pals with Komaru and Toko.

But what really stands out is Haiji, who makes no appearance whatsoever in DR3.

They seemed to be setting up a three-way conflict with these slides. Haiji vs. Monaca vs. the Warriors of Hope, with Komaru and Toko caught in the middle and probably drifting to the Warriors' side since they're the ones who least suck here.

DR3 wraps up Monaca's journey and briefly sweeps the Warriors under the rug but Haiji is nowhere to be found at all. Maybe he died. Who knows. Ain't nobody got time for him in an anime that isn't even about these characters in the first place!

It's hard to look at what DR3 gave the UDG cast and believe this was always the plan from the start, when a significant 1/3 of the conflict is barely even touched on and another 1/3 is missing entirely.
