KIDS COME GET YOUR DINNER

The AKANE danganronpa @oceanflowerrs inspired

Hinata Hajime wear a short-sleeve white shirt. This is a pretty obvious statement. As well, all the concept art of Hinata we have - of different designs they went through for him - either have short-sleeve white shirts, short-sleeve black shirts, or a long-sleeve black blazer similar to Naegi.

Furthermore, early art used to promote SDR2 in the early days depict a Hinata that looks slightly different but, otherwise, much of the same.

I bring up this information to prove that even in his earliest iterations, Hinata was never really "meant" to wear a long-sleeve white shirt specifically. Not without, at least, a black blazer over it.

The SDR2 artbook even backs this up in this paragraph:

At this point in time, the protagonist's claim to fame for his design was pitched to be a "simple but fresh, short-sleeved shirt". Building upon this, we began to focus the design based on hairstyle, not clothing.

I then find it mildly interesting that there's instances of Hinata being depicted with a long-sleeve shirt in the final game.

For instance, every single Monokuma File animation.

While in-game we can only see a small part of Hinata's hand, the animations in Danganronpa are made up of several moving image files that are typically much larger than what is shown in the final game. In this case, we have the full image of Hinata's hand that is used for the Monokuma File animations, and it depicts him as having a long-sleeve shirt.

Again, due to how these animations are shot, the player would never know this. But I find it interesting regardless that it was clearly drawn this way.

Secondly, there's the image Enoshima shows in Chapter 6.

Which also depicts Hinata as having a long-sleeve shirt (and Enoshima herself too, oddly, despite the fact her shirt is rolled up to her elbows).

There's also Monomi's notebook, where Hinata's arms are not colored in, leading me to believe it's part of his white shirt:

Although it is worth noting the Day 16 entry gets it correct:

I don't think any of this is necessarily "indicative" of Hinata having been planned to once have a long-sleeve shirt, or anything. Actually, I believe all these instances were just mistakes, similar to how a lot of official Sonic the Hedgehog art in the 90's and 2000's mistakenly gave Sonic blue arms; it's an easy mistake to make, especially since Naegi wore long-sleeves.

I assume these minor mistakes were never fixed either by being missed or simply deemed not that big of a deal. But I find it interesting that it has happened more than once.

One thing people seem to miss about Makoto (or maybe I'm the one misreading him? 😅) is that Makoto doesn't really care about talent. But not in a "I hate talent" or "I don't believe in talent" way.

He does acknowledge talent and admires it. But he never really express a strong desire to have one. Sure, he might think "ah, it'd be cool to have a cool talent and be like these cool talented people", but it's never really a driving force for him.

And even when he does get the title of Ultimate Lucky Student, Makoto doesn't really see it as a talent. Nor does he "use" it, like Nagito does. Makoto really thinks he's just some talentless guy who happened to be there and questions if "luck" can really be considered a talent (in contrast to Nagito, who does think his luck is a talent, just a crappy one)

Hell, the reason why he accepted to go to Hope's Peak tells us a lot: he went to Hope's Peak because the ones who graduate from that academy usually get many prospects for the future. And here we can connect to the facts that: 1) Hope doesn't exist in a vacuum, one must hope for something; 2) Makoto's hope is, ultimately, about the future. Makoto goes to Hope's Peak Academy not because he idolizes talent or hope or because he wants to be someone special. He goes to Hope's Peak Academy for the same reason we research colleges before applying: raising the chances of getting a good job so you have a good future. Dude just wants to finish his education and make his curriculum better so he'll be hired easier.

Makoto took one look at everything Hope's Peak Academy was about and said "but will it help me get a well paying job?"

And it bleeds into his interactions with others. He can see beyond their talents because he doesn't place that much weight in the existence of said talents. Yeah, they're incredible and awesome, but... Will them help anyone get a good job? 😂😂 Makoto exists outside of talent.

So, if he were to meet Hajime before the Hope Cultivation Program, Hajime would hate his guts with thrice the prejudice. 1) Makoto's an ordinary guy who got to be part of the Main Course while Hajime, another ordinary guy, can only be a Reserve Course student and because of what? A fuckin lottery!; 2) Makoto is genuinely a good guy and his answer to being disliked is to be kinder, which makes Hajime hate him more because how dare he not be upset when Hajime is so obviously hostile (not directly, he's not doing anything to Makoto because he's not a bully, but his cold and cutting behavior makes his distaste clear); 3) Makoto doesn't??? Actually??? Want??? A talent??? It's everything Hajime wanted and Makoto acts like not having one is not a big deal??? The fuck you're at Hope's Peak for if you don't even care about what it stands for??

I like this pose because it shows how Peko always has Fuyuhiko's back

and that Fuyuhiko turned his back on Peko

if I had a nickle for every time soon after I entered an older fandom a fan made musical came out, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Nagito's thoughts when he read Hajime's profile as a reserve course member: Ugh.
