Yuta Asahina the belofved best boi
He deserves more love and deserved way better - ultra despair girls was one of the danganronpa games of all time but I was really hoping he’d come back as a ghost mechanic when Komaru said she could see them. Idk what to write I just think he’s neat and the fact that he survived the explosion but DROWNED hurts me.
Wholesome bubbly optimistic dumbass side characters with no survival instincts who die five minutes in with minimal contribution to the plot my favourite genre :>

I think a very overlooked minor detail in the Danganronpa franchise is the high schools each character was going to before Hopes Peak. Like how Sakura and Peko actually went to the same high school or how Toko, Komaru, Mikan, Hiyoko, Tsumugi and Himiko all went to all girls school! I just think these small details are really neat and that you could do a lot of interesting character building from this. Like how this implies a lot of Mikan’s tormentors would be female, or how the Naegi siblings went to different high schools.
Also how for some reason Togami’s school is a sonic reference and Maki’s is a digimon reference, I have no clue why, but they are.

Since you've been reblogging some tenkosis, I want to ask: do you have a particular ship you like with Miyadera?
Personally I don't particularly care about shipping her since we don't actually get to met her BUT I do have a soft spot for Himiko/Miya... True love is stored in the dead woman who shares the afterlife with your also dead friends (because everyone you love is dead).
I don't actually have many strong opinions about Miyadera, since we know so little about her (though I understand why all the kerfuffle has made people think otherwise orz). So it really depends on how you want to interpret her character!
For a 'Miyadera is just a normal girl and Korekiyo's just weird about it,' I think the concept of Komaru/Miyadera is neat! "Can canonically see ghosts and loves her brother (not weird way)" and "is canonically a ghost who has. Not Great Feelings about what her brothers been up to since her death" provides a GREAT dynamic. I love the thought of A Despair Girls-style team up where Miyadera is trying to convince Komaru to help Korekiyo overcome his traumas and Komaru is like ??? this guy?? this guy who's killed 93 people?? you want me to heal THIS GUY??? I think there's something very funny about interpreting Miyadera as like. Just an absolute Korekiyo stan. I can fix him
And on a headcanon where Miyadera is a manipulator, there was an anon a while back that mentioned Junko/Miya, and that ABSOLUTELY tickled me. Awful women who ruin the lives of everyone around them and destroy their siblings solidarity. I can make her worse

a little (i don’t know who’s close with kyoko you can pick) brushing and braiding kyoko’s hair?
Tumblr media
Thank you again for letting me do this. Junko got really upset with me when I messed up HER hair. I didn't know 'hairdresser' could be such a high stakes game...
"It's no problem," Kyoko said easily, taking down the ties in her hair to give Makoto access to her hair. "I know very well how serious these games can be." Once she had her hair down, she picked up the book she had been reading, and leant against the bedframe, upon which Makoto sat. "I'm a little surprised you've never been asked to braid before. I thought you had a sister?"
"I do, but Komaru likes to keep her hair short. Too short to braid.." Makoto mused, selecting the comb from the mattress. "Besides, I don't think she'd like me touching her hair. I'd mess it all up..."
"Well, that only means you need more practice huh?" Kyoko mused.
"I suppose..." Makoto nodded, sectioning out her hair. That's what he saw the other girls do when they did their hair, so that's probably where he needed to start... "Sorry in advance if I get this wrong," he mused.
"You don't need to apologize. I said you could practice, so I'm fully prepared for any potential slip-ups," she assured him. "Take your time, there isn't any rush at all."
"O-Okay..." he said, focusing on the hair between his fingers. He first part her hair, and then combed it out. It was quite soft, and well taken care of. It had a very clean scent, but it wasn't too feminine. He wondered if he had anticipated her hair to feel as stiff as her expression. No, that was a little mean... Makoto was very gentle with it, making sure not to tug at it, or pull it in the wrong direction. Once it had been parted, he began to twist it. Right. One lock over the other. Then then add a third. And then...a fourth, right? He wasn't sure...
This, and this this, and then...this? "Um...okay. I think I'm done?" he questioned. It...wasn't a very pretty braid. But, it wasn't awful either. It could have been worse. "Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and take it down now."
"Down? Without letting me see?" Kyoko asked.
"You wanna see?" Makoto blushed. "It's...not very good."
"That's okay. You worked hard at it, so I'd still like to see what you've done," Kyoko smiled, touching one of the braids in question.
"Well...if you'd really like to see it, then I suppose you can look," he said. Kyoko nodded in return, and got to her feet. Then, she went to the vanity mirror above the dresser to see. Oh... There were quite a few stray hairs sticking out of the braids. And the braids themselves weren't very tight. The left on was thicker then the right. And overall, it certainly didn't look very neat. But...she could tell a lot of work had gone into them. "Like I said, I'm not the best at it..." Makoto mumbled.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Kyoko asked, turning to Makoto with a small, rare smile on her face. "I think they're..full of character. I like them~"

RE: Bugsnax AU, I think you could make some rough equivalents out of numerous DR characters and grumpuses. In some cases, you can easily imagine similar characters taking the parts, but in others? I think it'd just be fun to see these different personalities filling that kind of role. So with that in mind, I'd say:
Elizabert = Komaru. Not just because she 'bites off more than she can chew' sometimes, but really because...
Eggabell = Toko. The sort of "angrily ordering you to take care of yourself" mentality just fits... and ofc, Tokomaru = Win.
Filbo = This one was a struggle for me. I ultimately felt that Kaito offers a fun combination of self-declared "best friend" and relative ineptitude to fill the role, and it'd be neat to see how his outwardly confident personality contrasts with someone like Filbo.
Gramble = Gonta. Of course. A pure bug-loving soul.
Cromdo = Kokichi. I think this would be hilarious — Kokichi as a grifting salesman-type.
Beffica = Kotoko? Hiyoko? Either could work, albeit with slightly different spins on the role. If we want to lean into her conflict with Cromdo, then Hiyoko is a better option.
Shelda = Angie. They both love providing phony-ass wisdom from on high.
Snorpy = On the one hand, Kazuichi is smart and seems more likely to believe utterly insane conspiracies. But on the other hand, it'd be really funny to see Chihiro be the one who believes in the Illuminati or whatever. They're definitely smart, and this opens up the chance for his partner to be...
Chandlo = Mondo. Liftin' your crib, dawg.
Floofty = Matsuda seems like a really easy pick for someone who is both very intelligent AND deeply misguided as well as insulting towards others, but... nah, I think it's more fun to make this Izuru. I think the acerbic "I'm better than you" attitude and Kamukura's deadpan delivery combined with literally insane ideas would be a delightful gold mine. :)
This leaves me with Triffany and Wambus. And I'm... at a loss on those two, frankly. Any ideas?
I was thinking about doing this as well, just been at a loss for who would be who. I do like a lot of suggestions you got there!! Unfortunately I haven't played nor know anything about Ultra Despair Girls so I'll have to replace some characters. But I think I'll keep a majority of these suggestions, like Hiyoko and Kokichi. That's a very interesting dynamic!
As for Wambus and Triffany,, hmm,,, I was thinking maybe Sakura and Hina? And maybe replacing Gonta with Gundham(or maybe not I'll put more thought into it). I just thought the dynamic between Sakura and Gundham would be interesting but I may change my mind
And I'm struggling to decide whether I should include the Reporter into the au. And if so, who should it be? I was thinking maybe Shuichi but, as much as I dislike him, Hajime would be interesting.
But as for Eggabell and Lizbert,, since I don't know a lot about Komaru and Toko, I'll have to replace them. That is the hardest decision that I just can't figure out. Let me know what you guys think! Any suggestions??
(btw If anyone wants to draw the Grumpuses from this au, feel free but please credit -<3)

1, 7, 13, 16, 20, 31, 34 Kotoko, 45
1. I believe it was therpgminx's playthrough of DR1 in 2016 and now I'm mentally unwell about it
7. This is a difficult one because the talent is such a large part of so many characters identity BUT. I would give Imposter something in the vein of ultimate Leader based on how they act in DR2, and I think they deserve an existence that isn't defined by pretending to be someone else. Daisaku Bandai should be literally anything else. Maybe voice actor because his only defining trait (apart from the sterotypes) is his voice being unexpected. I would give Leon drummer because that matches his aesthetic, meets his interest in music, and frees him from baseball. I think Gonta has earned ultimate Gentleman. Finally, Makoto should officially be the (un)lucky student. It's a small detail, but it reflects the way his luck works, and I love how his fortunate and misfortune are mixed.
13. I'm pretty basic with ships. Fuyuhiko x Peko, Toko x Komaru, and Taka x Mondo x Chihiro. Number 1 is Ryoko x Yasuke. Big fan of that whole thing
16. I have had an idea for a tripwire based murder for a while. You align a pressure-held mounted contraption with the temple of the tallest student alive, and eventually, they walk into the wire, launching some object into their head. The delay between set-up and result would make alibis meaningless, would make it easier for the faint of heart to kill, and could lead to some drama if it fails. I think it would be neat for a chapter two.
20. The brain worms that it deploys. It's hard to pin down a single favourite thing, as it is really the combination of vibes, characters, story, and such that combine to make it such a fun thing. If I had to pick, though, it would probably be how it's mostly Junko's story. It is an exploration of her philosophy and its effects on people. I could go on a whole tirade about that but this is already going to be my longest post I've made, so next time.
31. Daisaku, for obvious reasons. One of the only explicit people of colour in the franchise (i.e. can't be written off as tan) and we get Daisaku.
34. She's my second favourite warrior of hope. Her minigame shows a tragic relationship with her trauma. I would imagine a full character arc would be one of the most interesting in the series, but alas. I do think her character would hit harder if the minigame had a less silly paint job, the narrator didn't imply you were enjoying it, and haiji didn't say that one line. She got done dirty.
45. It is probably the game I think about the least. I don't dislike it, but I tend to find the gameplay of Danganronpa as a whole an impediment to the story and character development. UDG has the most true gameplay of any of the main games. I would have liked more time spent on the dynamics of the adults and kids, both within and between groups, more exploration of motivation, and a stronger tie into the rest of the story. Instead we get a few arena fights, some basic puzzles, and slightly more panty shots than usual. Somewhere between not my cup of tea and missed potential, I guess

which is your favorite ship of each Danganronpa?
HAHA OH WHAT AN ASK
I yearn so much,,,,,,,too much perhaps
Because of this, my ships make no sense <3 yes I will be attempting to explain, but no they will not be coherent in the slightest <3
Trigger Happy Havoc
Favorite Ship: Makuwata (Makoto Naegi/Leon Kuwata)
OKAY SO-
When I first began playing danganronpa, Leon was INSTANTLY my favorite character. Call it the punk aesthetic, or the voice, or the bright colors, or the emotionally-driven personality; I just thought he was neat ❤️
Because the first interaction he has is with Makoto, it sort of solidified in my heart during his introduction! Introvert x extrovert ship dynamic my beloved,,,,,,
And I just think that Leon calling Makoto his “soulmate” is pretty poggers. Like the man really did have to consciously choose that word!!!!! And he did!!!!! + Makoto being patient with him and the whole “still, I think it’s impossible for me to hate him” just makes me [flappy hands] because god I kin that punk dumbass SO MUCH so I simply would like for Makoto to givb him a little kissy. just a little smooch on the cheek :)
Goodbye Despair
Favorite Ship: Komahina (Nagito Komaeda/Hajime Hinata)
I will be honest, the fact that I like this ship at all is mind-boggling to me. It is literally the ONLY protag/antag ship that I enjoy!!!
But, see, I think the main reason I like it is because Nagito never seems actively malicious during the main game (aside from chapter 4, but even then, he’s not being actively malicious towards Hinata. A lot of people misconstrue his behavior, I think, as being harsh and cruel, when in reality what’s happening is that he simply isn’t worshipping Hinata anymore. He’s being actively cruel towards the rest of the Ultimates, but we actually see him talk about how he and Hinata are pretty similar.
He’s not being a jerk during chapter 4. He’s been genuinely shaken to his core because of the horrific discovery of the fact that these people he cares about, these people he’s spent so much time with, these people he considers his friends, even if they don’t like him, are, in actuality, the personification of the only thing in this world he truly, and utterly, DESPISES.)
Nagito my beloved,,,,,,,ugh he is so Mentally ill™️ ❤️ (I SAY THIS AS A MENTALLY ILL PERSON ASKJDMSDN DON’T KILL ME) There’s also so much queercoding!!!! Of his character!!!!!! They really had him say the romantic I love you to Hajime,,,,,,,they really gave him and Mikan the solidarity during chapter 3!!!!!
And don’t even get me started on the fucking tragedy of him existing at all!!! It fucking hurts!!!! He’s so ashamed of everything about himself!!! He hides the fact that he’s sick and lonely!!! He’s afraid of dying alone!! He’s afraid of people not caring about him, but it’s essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy because of how hard he tries to push people away!
So long story short I just think Hinata would see this man and go “I could fix him. But first I’m gonna kick his teeth in.”
Ultra Despair Girls
Favorite Ship: Tokomaru/Syomaru (Toko Fukawa/Komaru Naegi/Genocide Jill)
YES I know this one is a bit of a cheat out, but I wanted to include them anyway!!!! Toko getting the love and appreciation she deserves???? Toko recovering from being continuously abused and ignored????? Her and Jill as a system being given the respect they BOTH deserve???? FUCK ME UP UGH
Blease,,,,,,Toko and Jill choosing Komaru over Togami,,,,,like canonically??? I’M OBSESSED
And Komaru’s little “Thank God I met Toko!” Voice line fucks ❤️
Also Toko 🤝 Jill
getting their girlfriend’s name wrong on purpose solidarity
Killing Harmony
Favorite Ship: I HAVE TWO FOR THIS GAME BECAUSE IT SLAPS SO HARD!!!! They’re Saimota (Shuichi Saihara/Kaito Momota) and Gontaguuji (Gonta Gokuhara/Korekiyo Shinguuji)
My explanation for saimota is literally just the canon game ❤️
ALSJSLSJD I’M JOKING BUT THEY’RE LITERALLY SO FRUITY /POS
and the love hotel scene,,,,,,,oh my god. “Nobody has ever made me want to stay in one place for so long.” said no straight man ever and “I understand, Kaito. I hold the key to your heart, but…” and also HOW SHUICHI LITERALLY FORGETS WHERE HE IS WHEN KAITO CLOSES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM. HE TALKS ABOUT HOW KAITO IS SO CLOSE AND LOWKEY PANICS BECAUSE OF IT. TRY AND TELL ME THESE FUCKERS ARE STRAIGHT I DARE YOU. I DARE YOU.
personally,,,,,I believe they are underrated ❤️ another extrovert x introvert masterpiece, this time with the added benefit of best friends to lovers!!!!!!! PLEASE I love them so much oh my GOD
As for Gontaguuji,,,,,,,,heheh
traumatized bastard x traumatized sweetheart
They complement each other SO WELL and the fact that they have basically no canon interactions aside from Hair-Raising Panic is fucking CRIMINAL ❤️
Gonta having been raised by wolves is a rare anthropological opportunity for Kiyo!! Of COURSE Kiyo would go out of their way to interact with him and learn more!!!
Gonta is also a huge softie!!! Just a big ol’ affectionate lug!!! Literally everything that Korekiyo has never experienced before; straight up just a man that would put Kiyo’s well-being before anything else 😭
And Kiyo is extremely intelligent, literate, and patient! Like straight up please just imagine Gonta going up to Kiyo because he’s one of the smartest people Gonta knows and being like 🥺👉👈 “can Kiyo teach Gonta how to be smart? Gonta not want to be idiot….” And Kiyo sitting with him and explaining that he’s not stupid, it’s just that he’s a product of a society that is too impatient to appreciate the ways in which Gonta is actually able to express his intelligence.
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR TWO SECONDS AND TELL ME YOU DON’T THINK THEY’D BE GOOD FOR ONE ANOTHER

Platonic Toko and Byakuya Things!
Oops so now I have Toko and Byakuya on the brain. I know people have said almost anything and everything about this, but I wanted to add some stuff and ramble a bit! Toko and Byakuya both mean sooo much to me as characters and the idea of them some day actually getting along has my entire heart and soul.
Spoilers for Trigger Happy Havoc and Ultra Despair Girls!
So obviously we need some time here, right. Listen I love them both but they need time apart and such; this doesn't happen overnight
I need some of that sweet, sweet Toko development first. Y'know once she stops idolizing them and sees them as an actual human being. Also how badly they treated her and vice versa. Basically, we need to throw out the entire dynamic and start fresh
Mutual apologies should probably happen and to be quite honest, I've wanted to write that out for months, but I can't decide exactly when or how it would happen, so I haven't. But I love the idea to bits.
Anyways AFTER all of that gets squared away, I genuinely think they'd make amazing friends in a weird way
They're both sarcastic, sharp, and cocky depending on the circumstance.
Like yes, Toko is e x t r e m e l y insecure, but never once does she put down her skills, and on some level, she has moments where she displays pride and confidence, too.
And to be honest, isn't Byakuya insecure, too? They just don't express it in the same ways as Toko. Chapter 4 tings, ya know?
The sheer levels of sass between the two of them is iconic, and if they ever were aiming that sass at the same target, they wouldn't survive.
Gay best friends
I'm one of those people that headcanons Toko as a lesbian with a whole lotta comphet, and tbh I imagine something similar for Byakuya. Less comphet and more not understanding what attraction is even supposed to feel like until catching feelings for a guy for the first time. Absolutely primed and ready to force themselves into relationships with women for the sake of their family's tradition before realizing it's definitely not supposed to feel that uncomfortable.
Weirdly enough they have a lot in common. I don't know if they'd ever get super close, but in the event that they did, they'd be able to relate to each other on a lot of levels.
Also the discussions of literature mmMMM good shit.
Not that they ever have a ton of free time but in the event that they do, they could probably pass a lot of time just getting into healthy debates over interpretations of things
From the outside, it looks like they're about ready to murder each other, but they can go back to being civil on a dime
Also Byakuya giving some of Toko's stuff a chance just? Hits different?
Bro especially once Byakuya ends up in a relationship because I feel like then you can get a new appreciation for that type of thing. The cheesy shit feels a bit less stupid
Listen they hate that they like it but they do like it
speaking of dating y’ALL THE DOUBLE DATES??
Komaru would get super excited about it which would make Makoto super excited about it and both Toko and Byakuya don’t know how to say no.
In laws in laws in laws
Hello Naegami Tokomaru nation how are you doing
Damn honestly it’d just be cool if they got along. It’d be really, really neat if what remains of their class could all get along as a group. Mutual healing type beat
Gosh now I’m imagining Toko, Byakuya, Makoto, Kyoko, and Komaru watching a movie together while Toko and Byakuya just rip the entire story to shreds
(Kyoko tries to stay quiet, but she does eventually join in. Albeit with a bit more composure and grace than the other two)
Komaru and Makoto are just glad to see them getting along
This is very very specific, and who knows, maybe I’ll actually write this as a fic at one point, but I have an oddly specific headcanon regarding the events of UDG and Genocide Jack and such
With the events of the first killing game being broadcast, Genocide Jack’s identity obviously becomes public, and that would cause a lot of extreme consequences for the system as a whole.
After she actually heals (ACTUALLY as an individual, not just Toko trying to control her switches) and genuinely decides to turn over a new leaf, I think Byakuya is the one who gets her, and by extension Toko, out of hot water.
They’re way too prideful to ever outright thank Toko and Jill for saving them, but in their own special, standoffish way, that’s how they return the favor- giving them that sort of Togami stamp of approval and speaking to their credibility overall
It all has a very professional air to it; however, it's the start of a rocky but good friendship
Overall that’s just how their friendship works in my head: they start spending more time together through other obligations or their significant others, and they come to the realization that they actually enjoy each other’s company when they aren’t verbally abusing and sexually harassing each other :'D
I think once they both do some serious healing, they could be really good for each other as friends. They'd get along better than both initially would think.
Thanks for reading my little rambles! I hope you enjoyed them! Hopefully I’ll write more about their dynamic someday soon. Like I said, I love them both dearly, so it’s fun to imagine!

I decided I wanted to try one of those DR Ask meme’s, but I decided to do it a little differently and I’m just gonna answer all the questions.
This one is made by @muzumi-san but I didn’t repost theirs because I don’t want them to directly see my shitty opinions.
1. Favourite game?
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. It just had the best characters, best plot twists and best trials in my opinion.
2. Favourite Protagonist?
It depends. If it’s in terms of writing, Shuichi. Otherwise, it’s either Hajime, or Kaede.
3. Favourite antagonistic character?
Kokichi is my favorite in general of the three, but as an antagonist, I like Nagito more.
4. Favourite character?
Kokichi Ouma. I know, he’s a fan favorite and you’re probably sick of hearing him get talked about, but dude, he’s just great.
5. Best girl?
Mahiru Koizumi.
6. Best boy?
Gonta Gokuhara or Gundham Tanaka.
7. Favourite class trial from all the games?
For Game 1, it’s Case 2. I love the twists and use of the Red Herring aspect in regards to the locker room. For Game 2, Case 4 is my favourite, but Case 5 is the better one in terms of mystery. For Game 3, Case 4. The fact you have to rely on video game logic to solve the case is really neat.
8. Least favourite character?
Without a doubt, Yasuhiro Hagakure, for several reasons that I’ve stated previously.
9. Least favourite class trial?
Game 3, Case 3. That whole case was just bullshit after Bullshit.
10. What would be your Ultimate Title?
Ultimate Animator, like Mitarai, but you know...Better.
11. Favourite cast?
As I’ve already mentioned, Danganronpa 2. My least favorite member of that cast is Akane, but even her, and the more disliked characters like Teruteru and Hiyoko, I love all of them. They’re all great.
12. Favourite Danganronpa 3 character?
Seiko Kimura. She’s such a fun character who I think deserved better.
13. What’s your opinion on the Danganronpa 3 anime?
I fucking hate it. The only episodes of it that I actually consider to be good, are the first two episodes of Despair Arc, and the final episode. The characters and cast genuinely piss me off half the time, especially Juzo, Munakata and Ruruka, and the writing was just generally shit throughout the entire thing.
14. What do you think about Danganonpa 1 anime?
I actually think it’s alright. Video Game anime’s tend to not be as good as the games (unless it’s Persona 4′s animation, which was actually awesome) and the same goes for Danganronpa. The game is generally more enjoyable than the anime, but the anime wasn’t bad all things considered.
15. Your absolute OTP?
SAI-MAT-SU! SAI-MAT-SU! SHIP-THAT-GETS-SHIT-ON-TOO-MUCH! SAI-MAT-SU! SAI-MAT-SU!
16. Your absolute BROTP?
I guess Sakuraoi? I get why people ship them, but Sakura is one of the characters who canonically has a boyfriend, and I just think they make really good friends other than girlfriends. No disrespect for anyone who likes them together though.
17. Do you have an OT3? Which one?
I’m not crazy about my OT3′s, since they’re mostly two characters who are romantically involved, with a third wheel/wingman on the side, but yes, I do have at least one for each game. For the first game, it’s Chishimondo (Taka, Mondo and Chihiro) for the second game it’s Sonsoudam (Sonia, Gundham and Kazuichi) and the third game, it’s Tenhimiangie (Tenko, Himiko and Angie)
18. Favourite rare ship?
There’s a ship I like called Nagiseiko or Komamura, which is Nagito Komaeda x Seiko Kimura.
19. Who do you think is an underrated character?
There are quite a few, like Nekomaru and Mahiru for instance, but I absolutely have to say Mondo. He has arguably some of the best characterization among the DR1 cast, and he’s my favorite killer in the first game purely because of his backstory and motive, and how he reflects upon the second case’s whole theme, and yet nobody seemed to focus on that importance. God Speed, you wonderful JoJo reference.
20. Who do you think is an overrated character?
Please don’t hurt me when I say this, but absolutely Chiaki. Many can chew me out for liking Kokichi, who in himself is overrated, but for a deuteragonist, Chiaki really doesn’t do an awful lot until Chapter 4-5
21. Favourite voice actor?
In terms of performance, either Derek Stephen Prince (Fuyuhiko and Kokichi) or Marieve Herington (Celeste)
22. Favourite talent?
Ultimate Detective. Shuichi and Kyoko are both really cool.
23. Favourite mascot?
Monokuma, duh! Compared to Monomi and the Monokubs, neither of them have shit on him.
24. Favourite Monokub?
1000% Monodam. All of them suck, except for him. (And Monotaro’s fine for the most part, but Monodam will always be the best)
25. Least favourite mascot?
Mono-fucking-phanie.
26. Favourite execution?
Leon Kuwata’s, the 1000 Blows. As they say, you never forget your first.
27. Least favourite execution?
Mikan Tsumiki’s, Bye Bye Ouchies. For reasons I don’t think I even need to state.
28. Favourite unused execution?
I really like Kazuichi’s unused execution that involves the drill.
29. Which character should survived in your opinion?
If we’re talking characters I wanted to survive, then I would’ve loved to see Chihiro make it to the end of DR1. As much as I love the importance of his passing, I really wanted him to get out alive and unscathed.
30. Which character would’ve deserved to survive?
In each game, there’s at least one character I think should’ve deserved to make it out alive. For the first game, it’s absolutely Taka, for the second, Hiyoko, even though I’m not strong on her, and for the third game, Ryoma, for the same reason everyone else thinks he should’ve lived.
31. Is there a character you think who shouldn’t have survived but did?
Yasuhiro did basically nothing to contribute to the class trials, or the overall progress in figuring out the mysteries of the academy. He never pulled his weight, and for some reason, he still managed to live through the killing game.
32. Least favourite protagonist?
I love her, but Komaru. She just doesn’t reach the same level as the others.
33. Character with the best clothing?
Celeste absolutely nails the gothic lolita style and it fits really well with the type of character that she is.
34. Best character design?
Gundham and Celeste.
35. A character who should’ve got more character development?
Kirumi, without question. She’s arguably my least favorite in the V3 gang purely because of her lack of development. She deserved better writing than what she got.
36. Character who looks amazing but you don’t like?
I love Ruruka’s design, but I hate Ruruka’s character. The same goes for Sonosuke Izayoi, who looks badass but got no development.
37. Favourite minor character?
For the little screen time he got, I vibe with Taichi Fujisaki.
38. Favourite eyes?
What? Uh...no preference?
39. Smartest murder plan?
Gundham’s plan in the 4th case of the 2nd game. He used pretty much every aspect of the funhouse to pull his plan off, and I love it.
40. Favourite culprit?
Gundham Tanaka, for what I’ve just mentioned, plus his motivation, and overall character.
41. Person you’ve never expected to become a culprit but they became? (Doesn’t include Chiaki)
I guess Mondo, Peko and Kiyo from each of the games. They all exude the energy that they COULD kill someone, but the chances of them actually doing it don’t seem that high, and yet...
42. Honest opinion on Tsumugi Shirogane?
I thought she was boring character at first, even after she was revealed to be the mastermind, but I’ve come around since then and I respect her as a villain a lot more. Being the only villain in the game who’s not directly tied to Junko, that at least gives her a bit of uniqueness.
43. Describe Monaca Towa in 3 words!
Piss Baby UGH!
44. Describe Nagito Komaeda in 3 words!
Extremely Entertaining Character
45. Unpopular opinion?
I think Hifumi Yamada is a pretty decent character overall. His Free Time Events, while awkward, were quite enjoyable, and he conveys the strong message that appearances aren’t everything. He’s aware of how different he looks compared to everyone else, but to him, it’s what’s on the inside and what he can do that matters.
46. Unpopular headcanon?
I don’t really have many major headcanons, and I have none that I would consider unpopular. I guess I’ll say “The V3 cast have a group chat in a Non-Despair AU that they meme the shit out of.”
47. A headcanon you have about a character?
In the ask blog that I run, Mikan and Ibuki are an item, and after they become one, Mikan discards her bandages and dyes a highlight in her hair. I live for that, so I guess that’s my answer.
48. Favourite OST?
If we’re talking about a game soundtrack, then either Danganronpa 2′s, or Ultra Despair Girl. If we’re talking about my favourite song in the whole series though, then my favourite is the opening theme to Future Arc in DR3, Dead or Lie.
49. Favourite mini game?
I don’t really have one. I have minigames that I like, and Minigames that I hate (looking at you “Improved” Hangman’s Gambit) But I guess I like Scrum Debate in concept a lot.
50. Favourite game design?
V3 is the most aesthetically pleasing DR game.
51. Character you thought you were gonna dislike but loved in the end?
Maki was such a piece of shit in my opinion at the beginning of V3. Of course, the development she gets reprimands that amazingly. I WOULD say Tenko, but I hated Tenko when I finished V3, and it was only after a short time later that I really turned around on her.
52. Character you thought you would like but disliked in the end?
I guess Angie? She was pretty annoying even before I outright disliked her, but then the whole third chapter brainwashing thing happened and I’m like, “this bitch suck for real!”
53. Favourite game end?
Danganronpa 2′s, and I don’t wanna hear all the “Ugh, the anime bullshit, ugh!” From a writing perspective, the second game just had the most enjoyable ending.
54. Least favourite game end?
I guess Danganronpa 1′s but even that wasn’t too bad. I have incredibly mixed feelings about V3′s twist ending, but I’ve grown to accept that it happened and there’s not a lot I can do about it...
55. Favourite love hotel scene?
Kaede’s. J-Just Kaede’s...That scene gives me the right amount of serotonin that I can keep going with my day.
56. Best free time events?
Hard to say, but I really liked Taka’s. Most of the FTE’s in Danganronpa tend to be pretty nice (unless you’re Hiro), but for him, I loved learning about the circumstances behind his family, how it corrolates with why he acts the way he does, his spite against people who call themselves “geniuses” and why they suck, and everything about his character just hits right.
57. Character who should’ve lived longer?
Kirumi or Ryoma.
58. V3 Pregame! headcanon?
“They aren’t evil creatures with a pessimistic look on life!” Seriously, why the hell do people headcanon the pre-game V3 cast as evil and masochistic bastards. Sure, their look on life was very cynical and pessimistic, and some of them wanted to join V3 for the money or the fame, but that’s just basic human nature and desire. That doesn’t mean everyone in V3 was an inherently bad person before they joined Danganronpa. They aren’t the remnants of despair for fucks sake.
59. Favourite moment?
Shuichi’s final stand in V3 really showed his growth in character, and his refutation “WE’RE GONNA END DANGANRONPA!” gave me goosebumps.
60. Saddest moment?
Gundham’s Execution made me cry, and I almost shed tears in Peko’s final moments. My answer therefore, is those two.
61. Character who looks like the love child of ???
Shuichi has always looked like the love child of Makoto and Kyoko or Makoto and Mukuro. I don’t have any parental headcanons though, and prefer to think of Shuichi as his own character.
62. Describe Mikan Tsumiki in 3 words!
Needs Love Mending! She’s an emotionally broken girl who needs love to heal her fragile heart.
63. Describe Kyoko Kirigiri in 3 words!
The Best Deuteragonist. By that, I mean out of all the characters who are most relevant to the plot alongside the protagonist and antagonist (which includes Chiaki and I guess Kaito too) Kyoko is the best one in my opinion.
64. Which character seemed like they were gonna be a culprit but they wasn’t?
I honestly expected Sonia to kill someone several times in DR2, but she ended up making it to the end. I’m not disappointed though, and I’m glad she never ended up snapping.
65. Who did you never expected to die but they died?
Kaede, no doubt about it. C’mon, she was set up to be the protagonist and then she got executed falsely. Rantaro also surprised me honestly, as did Fake Togami in Game 2.
66. Describe the last trial from V3 in 3 words!
An Absolute Clusterfuck. Not the bad kind, mind you, but Jesus, that trial was long and confusing.
67. Which character would you never want to meet in real life?
There are several honestly, but I’m gonna narrow it down and say Junko. Anyone who meets her is doomed to have their life ruined.
68. Which character would you like to meet in real life?
I relate to most of the weeb and dorky characters, so I guess either Hifumi or Non-Evil Tsumugi.
69. Choose one character which you would take with you on a trip.
Mikan would be handy to have around in case I get injured while on a hike or something.
70. Character you would have a sleepover with?
I don’t feel any sort of attraction to her romantically, and I tend not to for fictional characters, but Kaede is someone I’d really want to hang out and be friends with.
71. Character you can relate to?
Makoto, and I know that’s the whole point of his character, but even though he’s kind of basic and lacking in any significant personality, I still like him a lot.
72. Character you can relate to but you dislike them?
I sympathize with Kiyo’s plight, and how he suffered a lot of emotional abuse from his sister, but with his final moments and how much bullshit came from it (particularly the implied incest subplot) I just couldn’t feel anything except eagerness when I watched him die.
73. Character who deserved better?
Than what they got, I guess Taka.
74. What do you think of Hiyoko Saionji?
If she had survived the game, she’d have been recognized as great a character as Fuyuhiko, since she would have had time to develop. Unfortunately, her lack of growth thanks to her death relegates her into just being “that bitch from Danganronpa” In general though, I don’t dislike her at all, I’m just not as strong on her as I am the rest of DR2′s cast, or DR’s cast in general.
75. Describe Gonta Gokuhara in 3 words!
The Best Boy.
76. Favourite research lab?
The research labs are a cool concept that I really wanted to see more of in things like Fangans. I think my favorite is either Shuichi’s or Kokichi’s.
77. What do you think of the fandom?
Honest to god, I feel more comfortable in the DR Fandom than I do any other Fandom I’m a part of. We have cringe, toxicity and the same old jokes, yes, but other Fandom’s I’m in, like Persona and My Hero Academia, have the same on a whole other level. I think the majority of the Danganronpa Fandom truly does genuinely care about the game series and I appreciate that.
78. Favourite random/unnecessary scene?
The Man’s Nut scene in Danganronpa 2 was god damn hilarious. I never ever really thought the Peeping Tom scenes in each game were wholly necessary and just existed as cheap fanservice, but the Man’s Nut scene is SO damn funny!
79. Which character has the cutest design?
Chihiro is the most adorable bean in the universe.
80. Hope or Despair?
I have no real preference, but I choose Hope because I like to think I’m not a bad person.
81. Could you be the Ultimate Lucky Student?
Probably not. I dunno.
82. Favourite chapter?
DR2 Chapter 4. The funhouse chapter hit differently.
83. Least favourite chapter?
DR2 Chapter 3 and DRV3 Chapter 3. The former primarily due to the Despair Disease and Nekomaru’s death at the hands of Akane’s stupidity, and the latter because of reasons I’ve already mentioned, particularly Angie’s Student Council.
84. Which character do you easily forget?
Pretty much half the Danganronpa 3 cast. Particularly Tengan, Izayoi, Gozu and Bandai.
85. Could you be a Dangan Protag? Why?
I’d love to be, but I’m not as quick-witted or inquisitive as the likes of Makoto, Hajime and Shuichi.
86. Favourite Anthology chapter?
I like a lot of them, but the one where they all make chocolate is really cute.
87. Describe Peko Pekoyama in 3 words!
She’s pretty cool. There’s not much to say about her. Even if she is the one who killed Mahiru, a character I love, she’s a lot more important to the plot than many realize, especially in regards to Fuyuhiko’s subplot.
88. Describe Mondo Oowada in 3 words!
Completely Underrated Marvel. Just refer to Question 19.
89. Least favourite Danganronpa 3 character?
Pretty much any of them that aren’t Seiko, Ryota, or Yukizome. I’m gonna say Juzo though, because of his whole bullshit that Junko used against him, and how the tragedy is primarily his fault.
90. Do you like Junko?
Not at first, but I like her a lot more as a villain now. She wasn’t that fun in the first game, but was better in the second.
91. What do you think of Monokuma?
As far as game mascots go, he’s alright, however, the more the series goes on, the less relevant he becomes. In V3, he serves no real importance, and the game may have been just as good without him, leaving us with just the Monokubs. I hate the Monokubs, but that’s primarily because their existence just takes Monokuma’s importance away. V3 would be so much better if we had one without the other, either way around.
92. Least favourite Monokub?
*Heavy breathing* Mono... *Heavy breathing* Fucking... *HEAVY BREATHING* PHANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!
93. Did you like the Monokubs?
Not for the most part. Monophanie and Monokid suck, and I hate them both. Monosuke sucks for similar reasons, but he’s just kinda...boring...Up until the whole incest imagery in Chapter 4′s trial, Monotaro was actually ok, and had some really funny lines, and as I’ve mentioned, I love Monodam a whole lot, since he was the only one who had something close to a character arc.
94. Did you like the Warriors of Hope?
I guess? I do feel bad for most of them, but at the same time, they can be really annoying. They ARE just kids, so I get it, but still. Masaru, I really didn’t care for. He was arguably the most annoying, and Jataro, while I felt bad for him, wasn’t much better. Kotoko was pretty fun in the end, and Nagisa was a really well written character with a strong morality to him. Monaca is a pretty sinister villain too, but I don’t like her as much as Junko and Tsumugi.
95. What do you think of Gundham Tanaka?
HE IS EXCELLENT AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! Also, as I’m writing this, it’s his Bday, so happy Bday to Gundham Tanaka.
96. Who’s an overrated character you dislike?
I said Chiaki was overrated, but I don’t dislike her. I guess people like Kirumi too much considering how little development she gets overall.
97. Overrated ship which is your NOTP?
Komahina, do not test me on this. Everywhere I go, I see that ship that I know, from analyzing Nagito and Hajime’s relationship throughout the series, is incredibly toxic and would never realistically happen simply due to Nagito’s nature, and the way his FTE’s end means nothing to me.
98. Outfit you dislike?
Everyone’s always saying that Akane’s design sucks, and while I’m not too concerned on it overall, I do completely agree.
99. Your absolute NOTP?
Komahina again, and I guess JunkoMikan.
100. Opinion on all the Protagonists!
Makoto is relatable as hell, and I sympethise with him a lot. It’s quite fun to play as him in the first game, because he reacts more regularly to the characters in a way that most people probably would. I love Hajime’s reactions, and his backstory. I’m not too fond on most of the memes around him, like Organe Juice and the 91cm Titties, but in general, his reactions to things and the way he tends to call out his classmates is pretty entertaining. As I mentioned, Komaru, and I guess Toko, are my least favorite protagonist(s) but I still care about them both greatly. Komaru is as relatable as her brother, and UDG gives Toko the character development she so greatly needed in Game 1. Kaede is amazing, and is a character who gets too cussed out by people both in the game, and outside of it, and her death was super relevant, and an amazing twist I didn’t see coming. She’s just awesome in general. Shuichi, while Kaede’s death did upset me, he was an equally great protagonist, and I loved watching his growth throughout V3.

HEY GUESS WHAT MY DUMBFUCK SELF CREATED
digimon danganronpa crossover
i saw a couple pokemon ones and theyre neat but also i dont know pokemon
BUT I DO KNOW DIGIMON >:)) 
plan on organizing for all 3 classes + maybe Komaru
just throwing this out there if anyoens familiar with both franchises im looking for crests (at this point im willing to rehash the canon ones ngl feel free to assign thos) as well as digimon (looking for rookies but if you have ideas for other evolutions/ think some characters partner should be a champion/other level regularily like Kari/gatomon situation then sure pitch it)
the only ideas i have so far is that the THH kids are the only ones who have reached mega evolution
The GD kids utilize armour evolution. Don’t worry about suggesting armour evolutions, if theres not that i feel fit, i will perhapse make one up.
and the v3 kids will be doing DNA evolution. I have most of the partners for this organized, my only problem is I have Angie/ Tsumugi as a pair because they were kind of leftovers and im not really sure about that so if anyone has any suggestions of the potential dna partnerships that’d be night or even input on a Angie/Tsumugi dynamic. Again, same as the last point. Don;t try ti suggest dna evolutions,  those will  be made up depending on the partner digimon i assign to the cast.
the only partner digimon i have in mind so far is Chiaki with Cutemon potentially,  kokichi with Impmon for the obvious comparisons, and maybe Nagito with Salamon. i think Nagito deserves a dog liek digimon. I will also be looking up a hamster esq digimon for Gundham so we’ll see where this goes :)) 
Any and all suggestions and ideas are valid and welcome to be shared!! this is just for fun :))

Saw your post about how you wanna make some friends/mutuals and saw Danganronpa
You don't know me, I don't know you but if I could ask, favorite character from each of the games? (You can include AE) and explain why? I'd like to hear your thoughts
OOOO I'm so excited I've never gotten an ask before,so this is super duper cool!!
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
I absolutely adore Makoto so much. I know a lot of people usually don't like him a lot because of his "I'm so boring and I don't have any special talent" stuff,but he reminds me of myself a bit when it comes to the whole trying to stay positive for others,I don't have a TON to say about him,but I really love him!! :))
Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Ooo this one is a bit tricky,I really enjoyed a good majority of the cast from this one. Honestly I might go with Nagito. I feel like no one really tried to understand him and why he went about things the way he did. The cast was a tad bit insensitive towards him. Obviously I'm not excusing any of his actions cuz like 😦,but I get why he thought the way that he did. ALSOALSO I'm really intrigued by the way he wholeheartedly believes in his luck and how it will affect certain situations. I just think that's super cool. ALSOALSOALSOOOO I really love his love for hope,even if his perception of hope is a tad wonky,I still love that he gets very like INTO it I guess??? I hope this makes sense pls </3
Ultra Despair Girls
I LOVE TOKO SO MUCH!!!! I had wanted to know more about her ever since THH and I'm really glad we got to see more of her. I wish her character wasn't a bad representation of DID though </3. She's super funny and reminds me of my best friend a lot. I'm glad that she would snap some sense into Komaru every now and then,and I'm so glad they met each other. I feel like they were like a bit of a rock for each other,if that makes sense??? MANNNNN AND WHEN TOKO SAID "I've found my hope" PLS I LOVE THEM SM!! I love Komaru too,but I just love Toko a little more hehe<33
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
This one was a hard one between Kaede,Kaito,and Miu,BUT I think I'm gonna have to go with Kaito on this one. He absolutely reminds me of myself. He's very passionate about what he does and can go on forever about space and I just think that's so neat. He cares so much for his friends and always tries to make sure they're alright and if not smacks some sense into them with his speeches and stuff. He even calls himself the hero and says that if his "sidekick" were to make any sort of mishap that it would be his bad instead of theirs so that they wouldn't carry that weight on them. He's just so strong willed and determined to reach his goals and prove others wrong who have doubted him and stuff and like idk man I just love him so much. People always water him down to space himbo man and yeah cool whatever,but there's SOOOOOO much more to him and I wish more people talked about him,idkidk I just love him a ton. I'm probably forgetting a lot of things in these,but I think I said basically everything I needed to say. Also thank you for asking this,I never really get asked questions,so this was exciting for me!! <33

It's quite a lot I hope you don't mind ^^ 7 11 21 30 35 39 59 63 66 78 79 90 97 100
i don’t mind at all!!! thank you for the ask! 😊
also fair warning it’s been some time since i’ve played any of the dangan ronpa games and i haven’t been too active in the fandom as of late, so i may not remember some things super clearly. (as a result i think i just talked about komaeda entirely too much bc he’s my fave lmao.)
7. Favourite class trial from all the games?
i’m sure this is a biased opinion on my part, but i loved the chapter 5 trial in sdr2. i also admittedly really enjoyed the first trial in both sdr2 and v3, because they both threw me for such a loop and i was not expecting how they turned out.
11. Favourite cast?
the dr1 cast definitely
21. Favourite voice actor?
megumi ogata!! 💞💞 her performance as komaeda is what really makes the character for me
30. Which character would’ve deserved to survive?
god, it’s hard to choose. i’m sad about a lot of them dying. i guess i felt pretty sad that rantaro died so early on in v3, after finding out that he had already gone through a previous killing game and survived. it sucks that he went through all of that just to be killed off immediately in the next one lol.
35. A character who should’ve got more character development?
the first person that popped into my mind here was owari. her character really didn’t interest me at all and she went through no actual development iirc, but after finding out that she was initially planned to be a big antagonist, it’s disappointing that instead she was sidelined to be a very one-dimensional character. it would’ve been cool if they at least did something with her.
39. Smartest murder plan?
again i am probably biased here but chapter 5 of sdr2, lol. i mean, komaeda specifically planned it out to be unsolvable, that’s pretty genius imo.
59. Favourite moment?
honestly the whole scene with komaeda in the final dead room, particularly the russian roulette moment. this boy is wild.
63. Describe Kyoko Kirigiri in 3 words!
ramen noodle head
66. Describe the last trial from V3 in 3 words!
bunch of bullshit (i wasn’t a fan of the “twist” lol)
78. Favourite random/unnecessary scene?
komaeda being butt ass naked showering on that random island. there was absolutely no need for that scene but i greatly appreciated it, even though i dislike dr3.
79. Which character has the cutest design?
i always really loved nanami’s design (the one from sdr2), i’ve even cosplayed as her before bc i really dig the aesthetic.
90. Do you like Junko?
i do! i think she’s a really good and interesting villain, for a lot of different reasons, and i dig her aesthetic as well lol.
97. Overrated ship which is your NOTP?
i guess kamu//nami? i don’t know how popular that is but i don’t like it. i was going to say hina//nami as well but then i remembered i’ve written fic with that pairing before, lmao. but that was before dr3, to be fair. i feel like dr3 kind of tainted hina//nami for me.
100. Opinion on all the Protagonists!
naegi - i love this boy, he is so pure and good. i feel like i really didn’t care about him too much at first because he seemed so generic to me, but after playing through sdr2 and seeing him appear at the end, i had such a renewed appreciation for him for some reason. his capacity for hope and forgiveness is very admirable, and i like that he was really the only person junko was never able to get to falter.
hinata - like a lot of people, i was immediately drawn to how different he was from naegi, and found it endearing and amusing how he was kind of rude and sardonic and just so fed up with everyone’s shit. despite that, he had a lot of insecurities about being so ordinary, which i find kind of relatable. i also like how despite his complicated relationship with komaeda, he still tried to understand him. i love him a lot. 
komaru - i don’t really remember a lot about this game; i actually kind of forgot about it until i was sitting here thinking of all the dangan ronpa protagonists i knew of for this question, lol. but i liked komaru. she definitely went through a lot of development in the game and went from being a scared little girl to a hero, which was cool to see. i also thought her relationship with fukawa and syo was pretty cute.
saihara - words cannot describe how much i love this little emo boy. i’m not a huge fan of v3 in general, but i really liked him. first of all i thought the reveal that he was actually the real protag of the game was really cool and wild (even though it sucked kaede had to die). and once again he was a pretty different personality from the previous games, being so nervous and not confident in his abilities, and actually being depressed and fighting with falling into despair through the course of the game’s events. i found him to be the most realistic in terms of how an ordinary person would react to a killing game scenario. i also thought it was neat to finally have a protag who had an actual talent, and i’ve always had a soft spot for detective boys.
i know dangan ronpa has other installments and spin offs and stuff but i don’t really know any other protags well enough to give my opinion. (well, i did read some of dr0, but that was a while ago so i don’t remember much.)
anyway, thanks again! this was a lot of fun to do!

🍑 Mahiyoko, Shironaga, Komiki and Tsumioda!
Ohhh some CLASSICS here
Mahiyoko is like. Okay. Every Dangan game has One Big Basically-Canon WLW-Coded Relationship. THH had Sakura/Hina. V3 had Tenko/Himiko. UDG had Toko/Komaru. And for SDR2, Mahiyoko is that ship. The cultural shift surrounding queer rep in media means that a lot of teens don't really know just how bad it used to be, so it's hard to explain why that, on its own, is reason enough to love a ship.l I don't really think about it from a characterization standpoint, because to me, it's just still so incredible to see sapphic relationships on screen, you would have to do some pretty goddamn bad writing for me not to ship it on some level. (This is also why, even though I don't like enjoy shipping Junko, I still like unrequited Junkan - seeing canonical expression of sapphic romance is just an automatic hook for me.)
I like Shironaga! I don't think it has a lot of canonical depth, but it's neat, and they're one of the few F/F ships who canonically have a lil CG of just them, which is always a bonus. I feel pretty much the same about Koimiki - it's cute, but I don't generally think about it a lot beyond surface level.
Tsumioda is another one of those Big Game Ships, though to a lesser degree! I was really in love with it my first time playing, and it's still one of my top ships for both characters. They're very well suited - there's definitely a reason so many people ship them.

Tumblr media
So, to explain - this is the Danganronpa characters from Trigger Happy Havoc, listed from my favorite to least favorite. I'll go ahead and explain my rationale, a bit.
Starting with the F rank, Hagakure.... He's just useless as hell. A comic relief character that somehow managed to make it out of that shitstorm alive, and he's just not a very deep, amazing character. He's easy to panic and confuse - hell, at the start, he was so convinced the school was pulling an elaborate prank on them... despite all the signs to the contrary. And his talent of fortunetelling.... even the average of his predictions being right (30% at most, 20% at least) is pretty piss poor. Celes set him up as her scapegoat, and while that is kinda sad for him, it kinda loses its effect when you consider he begged for you (Naegi) to donate your organs on the cheap so that he could sell them on the black market so that he wouldn't need to dip into his own life savings to pay off a debt to the yakuza.
.... Like I said, not that great of a character, and I'm super annoyed out of everyone, he was one of the survivors. XD
Moving onto E rank... Fukawa's a little better off than Hagakure. She's a super downer to talk to, and will not hesitate to insult you to your face (unless you're Togami), but she's a learned girl and she made some contributions to the story, though they be few and far in-between, in my opinion. Her obsession with Togami is annoying, though, and like Hagakure she dragged out the trials at times because of her insistence on certain culprits (like Naegi, in trial 1).But.... still better than Hagakure, honestly. Her talent's hell of a lot more useful than Hagakure's, too - not to mention her growth in later games and anime.
Rank D.... Yamada just seemed so flat (an otaku to the bone), and Leon just didn't have much time for you to get to know him. You could tell he was a lady's man, a skirt chaser, and he let the life-or-death situation with Maizono get to him... But Leon did show, at least marginally, that he did have a love for his talent; he just didn't care for all the formal, traditional stuff like shaving his hair off. And Yamada... Well, he was used and thrown away by Celes; what sets him apart from Hagakure is he was actually stabbed in the back by her, and he didn't try harvesting your organs to repay a debt that was totally and completely on him for scamming the wrong people.
.... So yeah, Yamada and Leon are somewhat more sympathetic characters, but they're either flat or just didn't have enough time to flesh out.
Rank C... Ishimaru kinda started out boring with his by-the-books attitude and obsession with studying, but you could appreciate his struggle with effort vs genius - geniuses have to work, too, but in some respects they can make it look pretty easy. Having to work from the bottom up is admirable. Plus, you kinda felt bad for how he lost his best friend in trial 2.... On the surface that looked a bit fast for a friendship to blossom between two people of seeming clashing personalities, but when you consider they all had their memories wiped.... It's not that crazy; on an instinctual level, they were still probably pretty good friends, which is why they gravitated to one another again (that's just my thoughts; we don't know a lot about the time they spent at Hope's Peak pre-Tragedy).
Togami started as a prick and elite snob.... Not to mention how he toyed with trial 2 for kicks. It was nice seeing him eat humble pie in trial 4...And though he sent you to your death in trial 5, he had some development toward the end of the game. .... A little. What probably raised him to C for me was his characterization in the second game and the Danganronpa 3 anime.... Still a bit stuck-up, but he'd bonded with everyone in his own way~
Fujisaki.... You just gotta feel sorry for the kid. Had a weakling complex for much of his life, and it only seemed to get better when he got in high school.... A nice, loyal friend, and inventor of Alter Ego, who survived into the second game.... Bummer that he was the fourth one to die.
B rank... I suppose Genocider/Genocide Jill was just a fun, kooky character. No qualms about murdering, and she had a loyalty streak in her (not just for Togami, but Komaru, too). Plus, it was kinda neat her memories of the Tragedy were used to help solve the last trial of the first game. That's just me.
Asahina.... She was a chirpy, sappy, loyal girl. Bit of an airhead at times, but she made contributions to the story. She'd probably be higher if she didn't try to screw everyone over in trial 4, but that was mostly Monokuma's fault for the planted fake suicide note, so not too many demerits against her.
Kyoko... definitely one of the most useful characters, had a backstory, and all-around nice girl, if not a tad awkward because of not interacting with others much. Similar to Asahina, she'd probably be higher up there if it wasn't for how she screwed Naegi over, in trial 5... I get the desperation of surviving no matter what (to solve all the mysteries), and it being a setup from Monokuma again, but her betrayal still kinda chafed. If Alter Ego hadn't saved Naegi, I probably would have downright hated her.... XD I suppose she loses a few more points for being mostly reserved and stuck in her detective work.... But overall, she's a cool character.  
A rank... Junko surpasses Kyoko merely because she's a Joker-esque character. You still gotta hate her for being the root cause of all the misery, but the cray-cray kinda softens the blow. .... It's kind of like how the executions in Danganronpa can be funny, yet dark when you really think about them. And if you didn't have Junko, well, there wouldn't be any Monokuma.... and he can be even more Joker-esque, despite "just" being a mascot. XD
S rank.... Mondo was a meathead, and a jerk for punching your lights out in the first chapter, but he could be a real softie and loyal as hell. His guilt for causing his brother's death makes him easy to sympathize with, and his character flaw of easily losing his temper makes him pretty human. He didn't like murdering Fujisaki, and he was man enough to try and conceal Fujisaki's gender because it was something Fujisaki confided to him in good faith. A tragic character overall, but you're not annoyed by all the tragedy, like you can be with some characters (leers at Jellal from Fairy Tail).
Sakura is in a similar state. She's more level-headed than Mondo, but she can still get angry, and she had strong enough willpower to take her own life rather than murder one of her friends - and do it in a way that can make it clear so that the class trial doesn't drag on. Monokuma threw a wrench into that, of course, but it was still her intent to make it easy for her friends to live on. Her backstory with the man she loves, someone she acknowledges as stronger than her in spite of him currently fighting an illness, was pretty interesting, too.
SS rank.... Makoto's a pretty great protagonist - probably my favorite in the Dangan series. The "I'm ordinary to the cliché degree" routine can be off-putting, but he's got a strong spirit, and.... he's just a nice guy. Probably to the point of being TOO nice, and I guess that makes him a human character I can relate with... If he had even one selfish bone in his body, he probably could have gotten Sayaka to outright say she loves him, in the game. But because of circumstances, and because he thinks Sayaka is too high register for him (even though she's "interested" in him), he doesn't take the initiative and confess to her. Naegi just keeps bouncing back despite getting betrayed again and again.... Hagakure, Sayaka, Leon, Mondo, Celes, Asahina, Kyoko.... Naegi just keeps bouncing back~
And considering how I've talked about betrayals so far, you'd probably be surprised Celes is so high up there. But still, I find her to be a pretty down-to-earth character, a Queen of Liars, and a dreamer of dreams. She can be bratty, like when Yamada didn't make her "royal" milk tea, but I find her rage-induced states to be funny.... She's shrewd and cunning (save for trial 3), and I just kinda like how Naegi wormed his way into her heart, being the first of their classmates to reach "C-rank" in her hierarchy. Hell, she even joked about being pregnant with Naegi's child in that last free time with her.... You don't see any other girl doin' that in the series. XD
And finally, SSS rank.... the heavenly tier~
Mukuro's a badass and an adorable waifu rolled into one. Danganronpa 3 didn't do her much favor with her obsession to please Junko, but I do think she was loyal to a fault in that regard - otherwise, Junko wouldn't have done nearly as much damage as she had. The Danganronpa IF storyline, while fanmade, did a nice job of showing how Makoto could have affected her, and fleshed out her character pretty nicely. I still like her being a bit of a goober, being flustered at times, but I also like the badass side of her.... Not to mention her potential fierce loyalty to Naegi, if they'd had more time to interact....
And Sayaka, well.... XD I know a lot of people don't like her, but I definitely think she has more depth to her than most people give her credit for. I mean, think about how much emotion she showed in that first chapter - showed especially to Naegi of all people. If she wanted to hide her distress, her fears, why confide in him at all? If she was really plotting murder all along, why'd it take until the motive videos to "see" that potential for murder in her? She remarked how not talking to Naegi in middle school was one of her biggest regrets.... And isn't that a bit risqué for an idol to do? To reveal she has regrets at all? Japanese idols are supposed to be bubbly and love everybody, but she was pretty candid with Naegi in regards to what she thought about Mondo, after he volunteered Naegi to go find Monokuma's "motive". Sayaka betrayed Naegi, that's a fact; but it wasn't from the onset, and she most certainly didn't do it easily and without an ounce of regret in her heart. I suppose one thing for me that makes Sayaka's betrayal different from Celes and Kirigiri's betrayals is the fact she left behind evidence to absolve Naegi, to point to who really killed her (she even remembered what Naegi said about how to open his bathroom door). And what's more, she was conflicted enough that it led to her death at all. Kirigiri showed remorse over throwing Naegi under the bus, but only after the fact, and only made reparations after Alter Ego miraculously saved him. Sayaka's heart hadn't completely been in it when she betrayed Naegi, and that's something I liked; because it showed that, despite doing such a horrible thing, she cared about him. She betrayed him in a way that wouldn't physically hurt or kill him, and she hadn't intended dying on him, either; she didn't know about the class trial, and therefore didn't know she was endangering all of her classmates, including Naegi. It's very likely that had she succeeded in her murder of Leon, she would have confessed right away so that Naegi could live. For Sayaka, Makoto was a precious friend that reminded her that people can do nice things for others without any intent of getting anything in return. She loved his kindness, and was flattered he saw her as an idol worthy of worship.... despite how she confessed she'd done "bad things" to reach the top of the industry. Who knows what occurred back in their pre-Tragedy days.... The possibility for a relationship was quite high, considering how close they got to each other in chapter 1. That's just my thoughts, though.

DR21 Halloween Headcanons
Happy Halloween everyone!! Thought some of you might like to know what the families get up to on Hallow’s Eve, soooooo... headcanon list! 
- It’s a busy night full of trick or treating and parties for the kids! Each and everyone of them is up to something. The eldest kids, being Sakura, Leon and Hope, attend a Halloween party at another student’s house. Seiko, Junichi, and Kameyo have all agreed to go trick-or-treating with the middle children as their supervisors. Since Natsumi and Phoenix have never had the chance to celebrate Halloween, Koichi offers to take them out for a trick-or-treating session. His parents have already asked him to watch Seiko and the other kids anyway!
- The eldest kids have a variation of costumes. Playing into her and her mother’s love of athletes and swimming, Sakura chooses to dress as the American Olympian, Simone Manuel. Her costume is cute, fun, and comfortable for her. She can’t help but feel proud wearing it. As for Hope, she takes an excessive amount of time to turn herself into a zombie prom queen. It’s extravagant and over the top, which is funny considering Leon offered to match with her. He’s happy in the costume because he’s making his friend happy, although he did refuse to have her make the costume (”You’re crazy over stressed right now already, Hope! Don’t worry about it, I’ll make it the best you’ve ever seen!”)
- For the middle children costumes, they’re all varying. Considering his love for fish, Phoenix decides to turn himself into a merman. He’s gotten his make-up all done and a shining tail all made for himself, and fortunately he can walk in it. The only issue with it, really, is that he can’t see so well with his glasses off. He’s never really liked contacts. Koichi takes a different turn, choosing to be his favourite character from his favourite video game, Chi No Kishi 3: Death Rising. Considering the game itself is more casual and apocalyptically grungey, his costume’s a lot easier. The craziest thing he gets to do is apply a fake scar to his face. As for Natsumi, she happily turns herself into a marionette. She thinks there’s just something fun about being a cutesy doll that is so different to her natural personality. Her look is completed with stitched lip make-up, and a multi-layered ruffled skirt.
- The little ones are chock full of fun costumes, too! Junichi’s is perhaps the silliest among all of the kids, as he chooses to go as a CEO. Many adults don’t get it, including his honorary aunts and uncles... much to his disappointment. He wears a suit and carries around a little briefcase. In case you’re wondering, yes, his briefcase is where he keeps his candy. Kameyo dresses as a friendly spirit girl, having her mom paint her face with whites and blues to give the appearance of ghostliness. She’s got the cutest white dress on, too! Finally there’s Seiko, who decided to go as Queen of The Underworld. Which means she’s Persephone, given her interest in mythology. It’s just easier to say Queen of the Underworld. Hope made her costume for her, decking her out with a real flower crown and a ancient greece-inspired gown decked out in various shades of purple, blue, and green. 
- Admittedly, most of the parents are spending the night at home. Makoto and Kyoko have dressed up as the princess and the frog to hand out candy to kids on their street. They’re pretty generous with their candy; they’re well-known for giving out full-size chocolate bars. Kyoko was once rich and Makoto is incredibly friendly, so it’s only natural that they end up this way.
- Aoi’s a bit lazier with her handing out candy costume. She slaps on her swimming outfit and her Olympic gold medal, and says she’s an Olympian... which she is. In addition to handing out candy, she also is the driver taking the older kids to their party.
- Byakuya chooses to go to a dinner party that night. He’s not one for handing out candy to kids. He’s never really even taken his own son out to participate more than a few times. So he’s on business that night.
- Kanon and Yasuhiro, they choose to hand out candy with only a bit of make-up on. Kanon’s a 1950s girl, while Yasuhiro puts on his old Future Foundation uniform and hands out candy as himself. They’re known for giving out a good variety of candy, as Kanon wants to make sure all of the kids can have something good to eat. 
- Fuyuhiko, Peko, Sonia, and Gundham spend their Halloween on Jabberwock. They can’t be with their kids at the time of year, so they wait patiently for the pictures being sent their way of their kids in their costumes. They proudly show them off to the other islanders, and Mahiru even offers to develop some of them to hang in their homes. A kid’s first Halloween is massively important, after all!
- Toko spends a quiet night with her housemate, watching her hand out the candy for the most part. She doesn’t quite like kids, so Komaru does most of the work. Toko just works on keeping their dog, Yumi, at bay. That’s what they get for having a Shiba Inu, she supposes.
- The oldest kids, they have lots of fun at the party. After taking a whack load of pictures with each other and their classmates, they spend their night doing karaoke and dancing with one another. It’s not until later in the night, when some of the other kids have had a little too much to drink, that they dive into a quieter night of being friends with crying drunk girls who really need them. They make sure to cheer them up and make sure they get home safe, before getting Aoi to pick them up.
- The middle children spend their night trick-or-treating and taking the other kids around. Luckily, they don’t get shunned away too much for being older. Most of the adults just remark on how nice it is that they’re looking after the little ones. They get pillowcases stuffed full of candy that they can munch on for days to come, and a night full of amazing memories. Koichi’s stunned when his friends give him a big hug and thank them for taking them out. 
- The little kids have a good night too! They get cooed at by candy-givers and other trick-or-treaters alike. People even begin to smile at Junichi’s little CEO costume, and he gets encouraged to follow his dreams. They also get bags full of candy that the middle children check to make sure that they’re all safe. As soon as they’ve been checked, they spend their night munching on candy treats and laughing together.
- Sakura’s favourite Halloween treat to get is Swedish Fish gummies. Leon’s is any form of potato chips. Hope likes Kitkats the best. Phoenix is the type of kid who would be fond of Almond Joy, and Natsumi loves Sweet Tarts. Koichi has to be pickier due to his peanut allergy, and so his favourite tends to be Skittles. Junichi’s favourite is admittedly licorice; he pretends to like black licorice to be mature but really his favourite is the classic red. Seiko adores Aero, purely because she thinks they’re so neat. Kameyo likes to eat Smarties (Canadian Smarties, I should note -- here, we call your Smarties: “Rockets”) because of all of their wonderful chocolatey colours!
