This is just a silly theory but its possible that in v3 even the characters' "pregame" selves are a fabrication. The "team danganronpa" intro only has irl dr content, Tsumugi never cosplays from the supposed other seasons, and initially in the prologue Kaede wakes up with "no knowledge of who she is" and has similar symptoms (headache etc.) post talent flashback light. Also the kubs act like theyre the amnesiac students from the ult hunt storyline. However, they still recognise monokuma branding

definitely possible, anon!! v3's prologue and epilogue are deliberately very vague so players can interpret them however they like (a writing choice i've never been that fond of, but it did prepare me for fnaf lore...) if the audition tapes are real, then the characters have *definitely* had their memories edited before the prologue, since they remember being kidnapped, not signing up.

*i've* always chosen to interpret kaede's no sound, no voice, no light, no form, no knowledge of who i am speech as the moment before the vr simulation loaded in, for example! there's so many options. although i wouldn't use tsumugi only cosplaying previously-seen dr characters as evidence - kodaka says in the artbook he wanted her to do more, but he was constrained by budget hpasjdhg.

Imagine some of the DR3 cast waking up and just randomly finding the kubs sleeping curled up at the end of the bed. While the kubs completely deny it, with some persisting, they find out that the kubs actually dont have anywhere to sleep at night, and occasionally sneak into the students rooms to sleep in a bed for once. Imagine afterwards, some of the students actually invite the kubs to share their bed

mmm yees…the huge goode…

hmm, well by how he reacts to his kubs complimenting him, he’d probably return the affection to the person in question

[danganronpedits-archived]

anon requested: hi !! can i have a dangan kin matchup please? i tend to go through cycles of very low emotion and very high emotion, and i can be very passionate about my interests!! i try to make people happy or impressed with me, but i tend not to have a ton of close friends. im an intp, if it matters. i generally think more logically than emotionally, if more because emotions confuse me than anything. i tend to be loud and go on and on, and i can come off as childish or dumb, but im really not. thank you!!

posted in this format, since the anon accidentally... asked off of anon, haha. i assume that you don’t want your follow-up asks shown as well, but i can add them if you’d like? anyways! i hope that you like the matchup, anon, let’s get into it!

first off, i match you with...

tenko chabashira!

you fit with tenko a lot, as you might already know, haha! the two of you definitely go through phases of high emotion and energy, and tenko also has her moments where she’s more serious and less hyper- and plus, we don’t see her actual character for more than the  she’s definitely passionate about her interests, as she’s spent several years devoted to neo aikido, and getting closer to her in free time events is very much revolved around this. i wouldn’t be surprised if one of the biggest ways you both connect with other people is through those interests! tenko, though it might not seem obvious with her roughness towards boys, does i think try to make others happy and impress them. she doesn’t encourage unnecessary violence, and she is rather polite at times, and she’s... almost overbearingly, affectionate towards the girls. i think that you could associate yourself with that, anon, as i wouldn’t be surprised if there is a specific niche of people that you don’t try to filter yourself around. tenko, while it was naive, did have her own reasons for disliking men and you probably have your own reasons for disliking certain kinds of people. that’s just a guess though, don’t take it as gospel or anything!

i don’t think tenko has a lot of close friends either, actually- that’s just a quick thing, if i tried to explain it this post would get even longer haha... the only difference i really see between you two is that tenko’s more of an emotional thinker. however, i think that it’s more because she’s an impulsive person, rather than her knowing how her emotions are and working based off of them- i don’t think she can really sort out her emotions too well either. in a strange way, i think that she logically knows her own emotions? hopefully that makes sense- like, she logically knows what they are and how to work them out, but struggles to in the moment. plus, she can most certainly be loud, and can come off as very childish or as you say, dumb. i don’t think she is, though, it’s just hard for her to properly show it with her impulsiveness like i was saying earlier, as well as her general loud demeanour.

second off, i match you with...

monotaro!

pleeeease hear me out for a second. as much as i don’t like pairing people with the monos, i think that you still fit with monotaro a lot! first off, throughout the game, he goes through phases of being very energetic and bubbly to not having the motivation to talk- and although he forgets them several times which is a whole nother thing on its own, he can be very passionate about the things that he cares about. although since his character isn’t very expanded on, this is pretty much limited to his family and nothing else. monotaro does actually try to make others happy, i think, outside of monokuma- a lot of the time he doesn’t seem actively against the main cast at all. at least, that was how it seemed to me. hell, i’d argue that the only reason he’s not on the side of the protagonists is because of his devotion to his father, once again trying to impress him and make him happy. once he starts imprinting on miu and kiibo, though, he tries to avenge miu’s death and almost becomes an ally to the main cast.

i’d also say that he doesn’t have a lot of close friends, as is sort of seen in the game, haha. this is were something different comes in- i think that monotaro does think rather most of the time. while a lot of his actions are motivated by fear of his father, he is regarded as a somewhat-dumb-yet-reliable figure by his siblings. plus, i think the fact that he’s typically neutral to their bullying and doesn’t do it often compared to most of the kubs tends to mean that he’s not really driven by anger, at least, that he doesn’t hold much rivalry towards his siblings. he also does seem confused by, or at least not understanding of, many others characters’ emotions. he can also be very loud and talk over the other characters, and he definitely comes off as childish or dumb. i’d say that compared to the other kubs, he isn’t. however, i’d say that the only real difference he has from you is that he actually isn’t very intelligent, while you do have plenty brainpower behind that childish exterior.

and lastly, i match you with...

sonia nevermind!

we’re switching up the vibe a bit here! i think that your energy is a bit less restrained than sonia’s, as i do believe she can sway from low to high energy, however the range seems to be a little lower than yours. by that i mean... her low energy and high energy are closer together. i hope that makes sense! jumping to the back, sonia can come off as rather naive or airheaded, but as a princess, she did receive a very high education and knows more about the world than one may think. i think that sonia does think rather logically as well, as while she does have her own feelings, she tends to prioritize what’s best for the others around her instead of those. i do think that part of that naivety that people see in her is that she tries her best to be a ‘normal girl’, as this is what she wants to be the most, but can end up coming off as a bit standoffish due to her being rather foreign. along with her, in my eyes, not being the most emotionally sensitive in one-on-one conversation, the fact that she doesn’t really get slang or sayings since she’s in another country doesn’t help.

she definitely tries to make others happy or impressed with her as, well, she’s meant to be a ruler and tries her best to take on this role. a lot of her spearheading the rest of the group is likely due to this, as she wants to please and lead the people around her- in general, she also just cares a lot for all of her friends as well, and will be rather polite even to students she doesn’t like(such as nagito ingame). her status can definitely make her not have that many close friends, though she can typically be on good terms with many kinds of people. lastly, sonia is very passionate about her interests! the occult is something that she doesn’t hesitate to talk about, and though it’s seen as somewhat taboo considering she’s, you know, a monarch(and just in general, people can find it a little out of the ordinary), she very clearly loves it and isn’t afraid to do so.

-

you know the drill, it’s minor matchups time! you reminded me strongly of ibuki mioda, kotoko utsugi, and nagito komaeda, somewhat of toko fukawa and ishimaru kiyotaka, and a bit of angie yonaga!

i hope you like this, anon, please remember that you know best! if you’d like any information changed, or want me to add/remove anything from this post, please don’t be afraid to let me know! have a good day/night everyone :)

Danganronpa V3 Commentary: Part 2.3

Be aware that this is not a blind playthrough! This will contain spoilers for the entire game, regardless of the part of the game I’m commenting on. A major focus of this commentary is to talk about all of the hints and foreshadowing of events that are going to happen and facts that are going to be revealed in the future of the story. It is emphatically not intended for someone experiencing the game for their first time.

Last time in chapter 2, it was Kaito time all the time (my favourite kind of time), kicking off Shuichi and Kaito’s soon-to-be-epic friendship by hanging out with him all day and learning about astronaut training, communication, and the overactive imagination he had as a kid and hasn’t really lost. Then, thanks to his motive video showing up, I discussed the merits of the “Kaito’s parents died” train over the alternative, and how simply “living” is only an effective motive for murder in this killing game when you’re dying.

This time, we’ll continue talking about the motive videos but in a less Kaito-centric way, as Shuichi rushes to discuss them with everyone else.

Shuichi:  “Ah, I’ll think about that stuff later! I should hurry and tell Kaito!”

It’s pretty adorable how Shuichi just immediately jumps to thinking that Kaito deserves to know this information about his most important people, not even considering that knowing might make Kaito more inclined to murder someone and maybe it’s better not to tell him.

I’m a little surprised Shuichi doesn’t also wonder about his own video, though. On my first time through, I thought this was actually the point of mixing them up – that watching anyone’s video and seeing the format of “here’s the most important people in your life, oh no something bad’s happened to them” would make everyone think “but what about my most important people? Surely they have to be okay, right?” and be desperate and potentially willing to kill simply to see their own video and confirm whether or not their own loved ones are safe.

Bahaha, if you examine any room other than Kaito’s when Shuichi is trying to find him…

Shuichi:  (This isn’t Kaito’s room! Come on, calm down, get a hold of yourself…)

I like the game justifying the player goofing off by trying to play it off as part of Shuichi’s frantic mental state.

Shuichi:  “Hey, has anyone seen Kaito!?”

Kiyo:  “You seem in a panic. Over the Kubs Pad if I’m not mistaken.”

Good job making it obvious to everyone in the dining hall whose video you have, Shuichi.

(Man, I wonder who got Kiyo’s. You’d think that his would have raised some red flags about him. Makes me think that it has to have been Tsumugi, because she’s the only person who wouldn’t have tried to act upon that and warn everyone about the fact that he’s a serial killer. Or he got his own too.)

Important thing to bear in mind from now on: Kirumi has seen her own motive video and is now plotting murder.

Kiyo:  “Kaito and Keebo went to gather everyone else so that we may discuss our plans.”

Of course Kaito would have been one of the people who’d volunteer to do that. This is about co-operation, after all!

(I bet Kaito was the one who went to drag Maki here from her lab.)

Maki:  “I ignored it because I figured it was something stupid.”

This is so wonderfully Maki. Of course she’d think it’s dumb and not want anything to do with it, especially if it seems related to the Monokubs. It’s actually a somewhat-necessary plot point that she never watches Ryoma’s video, but the writers didn’t even remotely have to force it for her to not do so.

Gonta:  “Y-Yeah! Why Gonta get Tsumugi’s video—”

So either the videos’ creators put more effort than was necessary into Tsumugi’s video given that they were supposed to only be seen by their intended recipient anyway, or Tsumugi’s video was kind of suspect but only in a subtle way that went over Gonta’s head. (Then again, Kokichi’s going to see it too eventually, so probably not the latter.)

Ryoma:  “Why not? They’re videos of the most important people in our lives.”

Aww, Ryoma. Look at him being desperate to see if he has any people like that.

Keebo is the most adamant out of anyone that exchanging videos would be a bad idea. I wonder if that was his inner voice telling him that, since the people behind that voice obviously have experience with motive videos in other killing games.

Ryoma:  “I’m against that.”

Tsumugi:  “Huh? Against it? Why? If you see that video, it’ll turn into a motive, right?”

Ryoma:  “That’s why I want to see it.”

Ryoma wants a motive to live!

Kaito:  “It might not matter to you whether you get killed or not, but… We’re different! We all want to live! Wake up already! You’re like some zombie wandering around with no will to live!”

If this were anyone but Ryoma, Kaito would be trying to figure out why he’s acting this way. But because it’s Ryoma, seeing him like this in the first place makes Kaito angry and he gets stuck on that and can’t see beyond it.

Ryoma:  “No will to live, huh? Hmph, if that’s how you see me, then so be it.”

Ryoma’s reaction here rather implies that he thinks Kaito’s judgement of him is wrong – after all, he wants to see the motive videos so that he can find the will to live, which in and of itself is will to live. It’s interesting – but fitting, given how he is – that Ryoma doesn’t really care what Kaito thinks about him and isn’t going to go out of his way to correct him.

Ryoma:  “But I’ve got no plans to change my opinion. That’s just not cool.”

So presumably by this, he simply means he’s not going to change his mind about wanting to see his videos, and not about having no reason to live, since he very much is hoping his video will change his opinion about that and give him a reason to live.

Kokichi:  “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not saying we shouldn’t care about killing or dying…”

For once, this is a true statement.

Kokichi:  “But I think it’d be better if we didn’t cooperate with each other. Actually, we *definitely* shouldn’t cooperate with each other!”

Tenko:  “We shouldn’t cooperate? Why not!?”

Kokichi:  “Think back to all of Monokuma’s actions so far. Whenever we tried to work together, Monokuma would retaliate with a plan to make us suffer. It happened when Kaede wanted us to cooperate, and again with these motive videos, right? Which means, the more we try to cooperate, the more he’ll try to make us suffer.”

This is true, but Kokichi is completely missing the point. Obviously Monokuma retaliates by inflicting suffering every time people try to co-operate because everyone’s co-operation is really bad for him! If everyone co-operates fully, there’ll be no more killings and they might manage to escape, which is exactly what he doesn’t want! This means everyone should co-operate more, not less! Sure, Monokuma will continue to try to make them suffer, but that suffering will be worth it if they keep co-operating anyway and manage to escape. Kokichi is too caught up on the fact that the initial suffering inflicted by Monokuma is bad and not focusing on the end result they’ll reach if they push through it anyway because he is a gigantic coward. This is one of the most transparently cowardly opinions Kokichi ever expresses. It’s also very similar to his mindset in chapter 1 when he discouraged everyone from continuing to try the escape tunnel (shoutout to the anon who brought this up and made me realise that they’re related) – he got hung up on the initial pain and suffering it caused them to the point of ignoring the fact that it would have been worth it in the end if they managed to get through it anyway.

…And it’s honestly a little frustrating that nobody else actually picks up on this and explains how drastically Kokichi is missing the point here. I’d have expected Kaito to potentially do that, at least.

Also remember how Kokichi hinted at this opinion of his before, after they saw the Flashback Light, and this is him now explicitly spelling it out in order to be, arguably, helpful. But the thing is, Kokichi hints at so many things he’s aware of that would be potentially helpful to everyone if he spelled them out and explained why he thought this way, but this is the only time he ever does so. Which rather makes it seem like the only reason Kokichi is spelling this out is not because he cares about being helpful to everyone else but because he’s trying to protect himself. Because even if Kokichi pointedly doesn’t co-operate, if everyone else works together and Monokuma decides to make them suffer for it then he’ll make everyone suffer, including Kokichi, and Kokichi doesn’t want that.

Kirumi:  “You are saying that if we do not rally together, we will not be made to suffer?”

Kirumi, at least, is probably semi-agreeing with him because her priorities now are to make sure her murder plan goes off without a hitch, having seen her own motive video, and the less wrenches Monokuma tries to throw into the mix, the better for her.

Kokichi:  “That’s why I had no choice but to screw with you guys.”

Yep, because you’re a huge coward who’s just terrified of what the big, bad Monokuma might do to everyone (especially you) if they actually try and fight back against him.

Shuichi:  “And you’re not lying to us right now?”

Kokichi:  “…Whether I’m lying or not, what I’m saying is still true.”

Surprisingly enough, Kokichi’s statement does make sense. He’s saying, “whether I really feel this way or not, I’m still making a valid point”. Which is the case about a lot of the things he says, really… at least insofar as his points are ever valid, which is frequently debatable, including right now.

Kokichi:  “Anyway, we shouldn’t force ourselves to co-operate. Let’s just all do our own thing.”

Co-operation is not something that people have to force themselves to do, especially not in a dangerous situation like this; it’s just human nature to do so. The fact that Kokichi thinks of it this way is pretty telling about how he really feels about co-operation, in a way that doesn’t have anything to do with how Monokuma may or may not respond to it.

Shuichi:  (It’s *because* we’re trying to co-operate that Monokuma is making us suffer…? But what about… everything we went through…? What was the point of Kaede sacrificing herself…?)

I’d ask why Shuichi hasn’t figured out how obviously Kokichi is missing the point either, but his questioning the point of Kaede’s sacrifice indicates he sort of gets it. Monokuma retaliated to Kaede’s co-operation by leading her into a trap that got her killed. But if they just agree with Kokichi here and never co-operate again, then Kaede only ever existed as an example of what not to do rather than as motivation for the rest of them to keep being brave and trying their best to escape. Kaede would have basically died for nothing.

Kokichi:  “Let’s just exchange our motive videos instead of cooperating with each other.”

Considering that Kokichi got his own video, he knows that Monokuma was not trying to make it so that nobody sees their own video and that mixing them up was an accident. So given what he also just said about co-operation, most of the reason Kokichi wants everyone to see their own video is probably because he knows that’s what Monokuma intended to happen, and he’s afraid that if everyone keeps preventing each other from seeing their videos then Monokuma will do something even worse to them to force this next murder through. He wants to prevent Monokuma’s wrath by giving Monokuma what he’s after – which is to say, another murder. (So much for him saying just a few minutes ago that it’s not that they shouldn’t care about killing or dying – there was a part of him that meant that, but here he goes, being willing to let another murder happen anyway so long as the victim isn’t him.)

But also, look at how he worded that like everyone agreeing to exchange their motive videos wouldn’t also have been a different kind of “co-operation”. Both everyone sharing and everyone not sharing would count as “co-operation”. The only thing that wouldn’t be co-operation is if only some people secretly share their videos without agreeing it with everyone else. I think that’s also partially what Kokichi’s afraid of and why he wants everyone to exchange the videos even if he’s insisting on not calling that “co-operation” because he’s allergic to the concept. He’s afraid of the idea that everyone has to trust on the surface that nobody will share the videos, when anyone could break that trust at any time and then secretly be out to kill. If everyone shared the videos, there would be no more trust necessary from anyone once it happened, which is probably why Kokichi doesn’t think of that scenario as “co-operation”.

Kokichi feeling that way about people secretly seeing their own videos is also pretty hypocritical of him given that he received his own motive video and hasn’t told anyone, giving him currently the second-most reason to kill someone without anybody else knowing that he has that. Not that he would act on it, because he’s already certain he’ll get caught and executed if he tries that, but.

Kokichi:  “C’mon, Gonta, let’s go.”

Gonta:  “What? Gonta, too!?”

Kokichi:  “We promised to think of a way to get everyone to exchange their motive videos, remember? […]”

Gonta:  “W-Wait! Did Gonta make promise!?”

No, you didn’t, Gonta! LEAVE HIM ALONE, KOKICHI.

(This kind of thing is exactly why Gonta needs to be more sure of himself.)

Kaito:  “Quit screwing around… ‘Our sake’? Yeah, right. I’ve had it with his lies.”

Kaito knows what’s up. Because you’d think, given Kaito’s extremely keen intuition regarding people, that if Kokichi really did secretly care about doing things for everyone’s sake, Kaito would be able to pick up on that even though all outward signs say otherwise. Just like how he’s going to pick up on the fact that Maki is a good person despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Kaito:  “Wait up, Ryoma! Don’t forget. We’re all struggling to get out of here alive. So don’t get in our way…”

Ryoma:  “I’ve got no intention of getting in your way. I’d never do something so uncool.”

Kaito is probably saying this because he’s worried Ryoma will also try to get everyone to swap videos and therefore increase the chance of a murder happening. But of course, Ryoma only cares about seeing his own video, and he’s very much not the kind of person who’d deliberately endanger everyone else just to get something he wants (unlike someone else here). Someone with no reason to live, but who still cares about everyone else around him, wouldn’t ever be that selfish.

Kirumi:  “My workload has increased significantly… This calls for a more tactical approach.”

Yep, on top of all the requests everyone’s just given Kirumi, she’s also got to come up with a whole murder plot now.

Really, though, let’s respect Kirumi for the fact that she continues to try and fulfil everyone’s wishes right up until she commits murder. She still cares about everyone here and doesn’t want to have to sacrifice them all to escape.

Himiko:  “…”

Tenko:  “…Wait, what’s wrong, Himiko? Are you hungry?”

Himiko is clearly too depressed to feel hungry, what with the newest motive having made the situation even more awful again. But I can understand why Tenko might assume this, since she’s probably the sort of person who gets in a bad mood when she’s hungry and she’s projecting that onto Himiko.

Shuichi:  (I wish I could do something on my own, but that’s impossible… If I screw up, it’ll be just like Kaede all over again—)

Shuichi is still beating himself up and being afraid of making the slightest mistake.

Shuichi:  (I can’t stand around doing nothing! I… promised her!)

But since he’s still desperate to try and do something, why don’t we say he’s going to do so by trying to pry Gonta away from whatever nefarious plans Kokichi has with him? By which I mean Gonta is my other free time target in this chapter, because it’s at least vaguely plausible that Shuichi might be worried about him in particular after Kokichi dragged him off like that at breakfast. (And because I really like Gonta, okay, shush.)

Ryoma:  “Since the motives were swapped, as long as we don’t sort them out, no murders will happen… Or so Keebo said, but… Somebody might take action because they want to see the motive…”

Hah, Ryoma’s having the same thought that I did first time around. Of course, he’s thinking this because he wants to see his own motive video more than anyone else. (Except… you really don’t, Ryoma. Trust me on this.)

Himiko and Angie are hanging out in the same place. Oh, dear.

Kaito:  “How in the world did he end up like that…?”

Kaito is still hung up on Ryoma. At least now it seems he’s progressed to the point of wondering why Ryoma feels this way. I’m… not sure if he knows about the part where Ryoma slaughtered a whole mafia. You’d think he’d have heard that from the news? But even if he did, it’s not like the news would have mentioned why, so.

Sorry, though, Kaito, I’m going to leave you to brood for now. Shuichi has a Gonta to try and pry away from Kokichi. He’s hanging out with Kokichi right now, of course.

Gonta:  “Oh! Shuichi! You here to help Gonta think of way to get everyone to trade motives?”

Unfortunately it seems that Kokichi has already convinced Gonta that trading motive videos is the correct course of action.

Gonta:  “Huh? You wanna spend time with Gonta? But Kokichi already invite Gonta…”

Kokichi:  “Oh, it’s fine. Let’s hang out later.”

Gonta:  “O-Okay! Then what should we do, Shuichi?”

There’s an exchange like this whether you hang out with Gonta or with Kokichi for each of the time slots when they’re plotting together. It’s a neat touch.

Gonta:  “Gonta very, very happy! This maybe first time Gonta spend free time with anyone!”

…except for Kokichi just now. Let’s assume Gonta doesn’t think that counts in the same way. After all, Kokichi’s spending time with him for a specific purpose and not because he just wants to hang out as friends.

But, aww, poor Gonta not having had anyone want to hang out with him before just because he looks scary.

Gonta:  “So Gonta will work hard! Treat Shuichi like true gentleman!”

Shuichi:  “Ah, it’s okay, Gonta. You don’t have to be so… intense. Just talking is fine.”

And he’s so desperate to make sure he shows Shuichi a good time so that Shuichi won’t regret hanging out with him. Gontaaaa, just getting to spend time with someone as lovely as you is more than worth it.

Gonta’s idea of a good time is racing.

Shuichi:  “Race?”

Gonta:  “Gonta good at running! Running full speed through forest so much fun! Plus, feel good to run like wind. Maybe nice change of pace.”

Because it’s the kind of thing he always used to do for fun in the forest and he doesn’t realise a lot of people in human society maybe don’t find it as fun as he does.

Shuichi:  (Gonta grabbed my hand and pulled me firmly, and I ran along behind him.) “G-Gonta! You’re running too fast!”

I’m picturing Shuichi being dragged along so fast that his feet are barely touching the ground any more as he flails behind Gonta like a banner. I keep vaguely wanting to draw this.

Shuichi ends up so exhausted that he almost trips and falls down the stairs to the basement, but Gonta catches him.

Gonta:  “No thank Gonta… Gonta make Shuichi run… This all Gonta’s fault… Sorry… Gonta not very fun after all…”

Here’s more of Gonta apologising because he’s so unsure of himself – he wasn’t sure what the best thing to do while hanging out with Shuichi was, but he picked the best thing he could think of, and yet now he’s ended up convinced that it was a terrible idea and he should never have done it. Poor Gonta, always desperately trying to do the right thing but never knowing how.

Shuichi:  “Why did you invite me? Kaito looks like he’d be better at running…”

Gonta:  “Invite Kaito? You sure? Gonta not wanna make trouble…”

This is me picking not-the-nicest dialogue option again just so that I can have a chance to say: oh man wouldn’t it be great if Gonta and Kaito did actually hang out more, though. They’re both adorable and very similar in some ways but very different in others and I’d love to see them become better friends than they do in canon.

Although really the problem here isn’t that Gonta invited Shuichi – since after all it was Shuichi who invited Gonta to hang out in the first place – but just that Gonta suggested an activity that wasn’t the most appropriate for Shuichi, because he wasn’t able to see that not everyone would necessarily enjoy it as much as him.

Shuichi:  “Ah, um, Gonta… I had a lot of fun, running with you. I’d like to do this again sometime. The next time you need another change of pace.”

Shuichi still says this, though, regardless of which dialogue option you pick! So yay. Having a change of pace and moving his body instead of using his mind is exactly the kind of thing Shuichi needs right now, even if Gonta doesn’t realise it.

Gonta:  “Gonta do anything for Shuichi! Gonta protect you! Like gentleman!”

Shuichi:  (Gonta is brimming with positivity. …Gonta really is pure.)

Exactly what I was about to say, Shuichi! He’s such a good.

Tenko:  “I can’t stop thinking about it… Who’s in my motive video? N-No, I can’t! I would be falling right into Monokuma’s trap!”

See what I mean about how I thought the real trap was people wondering about who’s in their motive video and be potentially willing to take drastic action just to see it?

Keebo:  “I also want to know what is contained in my motive video… But…”

Keebo’s video almost certainly contains his father, the professor who created him. Keebo probably already knows this and is thinking instead about what bad thing may or may not have happened to him according to the video. This is exactly what’s so dangerous about knowing your video exists and roughly what it’ll be like but not its exact contents.

Himiko and Angie are together again, this time in Himiko’s lab. We all know where this is going.

Himiko:  “Angie’s been talking to me non-stop…”

Yeah, brainwashing you. It doesn’t look like Himiko had much of her own input in the matter, either.

Gonta and Kokichi are also still together, of course.

Gonta:  “Oh, Shuichi… Kokichi say stuff that hard to understand… Make Gonta feel sleepy…”

Poor Gonta. Let’s imagine Shuichi assumes from this that he did enough earlier to prevent Kokichi from manipulating him. Totally not just because I still want to hang out with Kaito once more in this chapter or anything.

Interestingly, Ryoma is hanging out in the corridor not far from where Maki is guarding her lab. He doesn’t know she has his video yet, but he has seen hers, so he’s the only one right now other than Maki herself (and Tsumugi) who knows why she’s guarding that lab.

Meanwhile, Kaito is hanging out inside Ryoma’s lab, which means that he’s apparently still brooding about Ryoma on some level even though this time he manages not to voice it to Shuichi.

Kaito:  “Oh, Shuichi. What’s up? You wanna talk about something?”

Shuichi:  (Should I hang out with Kaito for a while?) [Yes]

Kaito:  “Yeah, that’s fine. I… was just thinking I wanted to talk to you.”

This is a little hint that Kaito is already thinking of starting to train Shuichi! Honestly it wouldn’t be surprising if he just up and started doing it now. Let’s assume he decides to wait until nighttime anyway because he prefers to train outside when the stars are out, since, you know, space. And maybe some other reasons that we’ll get to.

Besides, we still have the rest of his ridiculou – I mean, very exciting and definitely true story to hear, right?

Kaito:  “Hey! If you’re back, that means… Haha! You really want to listen to my stories, huh!? Well, if you say so!”

It’s pretty interesting that Kaito’s idea of “how to make friends with someone” appears to equate to “telling them (completely exaggerated and made up) stories about how cool and heroic he totally is”. He does not know how to have normal, down-to-earth interactions with people at all.

Shuichi:  (*You* were the one who said you’d finish the story next time…)

Again with Shuichi sounding mildly annoyed, putting this scene probably before the training. That said, Shuichi still came to hear the rest of the story, so he can’t be that annoyed.

Kaito:  “Umm, what happened after that…? Oh, I remember! Something amazing happened before I got off my boat!”

Shuichi:  (You say it was amazing, but you forgot it? …I’ll keep it to myself.)

Yeah, that wasn’t Kaito almost forgetting his made-up details or anything, because it all definitely happened.

Kaito:  “I got caught in a storm. I thought I was done for, but right when I was preparing for the worst… My boat was eaten by a whale!”

Shuichi:  “Ah. I see.”

I love how deadpan Shuichi is about this whole thing.

Kaito:  “It was a whale, man! The second smartest thing in this world after me! It probably saw my greatness and hid me in its stomach, away from the storm.”

So the whale wasn’t even a greater danger – it was a deus ex machina magically saving him from the danger of the storm without him having to overcome it himself, because he’s just that much of a hero that of course he got out of trouble effortlessly, right?

(Also please take note and appreciate that Kaito is the smartest thing in the world. Clearly.)

Shuichi:  (I didn’t expect this kind of tall tale from you, Kaito.)

…I mean, after the first half of it, what else were you expecting, Shuichi. Although I suppose this whale part is the most implausible part yet.

Next, tiny Kaito decided to conquer the land by entering the jungle.

Kaito:  “I came across something. A giant anaconda that could swallow a man whole!  […] But that was just the beginning… Defeating him opened a gate…”

Aren’t we going to hear about how you defeated the giant anaconda, Kaito? That sounds like a more exciting story to tell than simply the fact that you did defeat it because you’re just that awesome.

Kaito:  “There was a whole civilisation in a giant underground cave! I invaded their empire and made the emperor my sidekick, but…”

Apparently Kaito’s tendency to make literally everyone into his sidekick even extended back to his “heroic adventures” when he was younger. Although given that this emperor was almost certainly imaginary, it seems that back then, his definition of “sidekick” was maybe a bit closer to the normal one. This is probably why he started using that word for the actual people he made into his “sidekicks” later.

Kaito:  “But the time limit came so fast and I had to go back to my gramps’ house.”

Shuichi:  “The time limit?”

Kaito:  “Well, yeah. My summer vacation was over, duh.”

…And there we go: the actually true part. Man, tiny Kaito really knew how to entertain himself during a summer vacation, though.

Kaito:  “Huh? Why I wanna be an astronaut? Was that what we were talking about?”

Shuichi:  “Yes! That’s what we were talking about!”

I love how Kaito got so excited about telling his ridiculous story that he completely forgot the reason he started telling it.

Kaito:  “That’s simple! The universe is the final frontier for me to conquer!”

…I mean, really, Shuichi, you should have been able to figure this out yourself from the story. He conquered the sea and the land, so obviously the next step would be space!

Kaito:  “And it’s sorta cool, isn’t it!? Aren’t astronauts the best!?”

Shuichi:  “…” (So essentially, ‘because it’s cool’ was your reason…)

At first, at least. We’ve heard more from him in other FTEs, including the ones with Kaede, about why he wants to go to space now, which there’s a lot more to than just because space is cool. He probably looked into being an astronaut first because he thought it sounded cool, and then got more serious about it after learning exactly the kinds of things astronauts do that he wanted to be a part of.

Monokid, I bet inside, you're not as tough as you act. You bully others to hide your weaknesses and fears. You're worried that showing your flaws will only make you a target. I was alot like you when I was younger. I was insecure about having a learning disability, and as I result, I acted out and attacked those who weren't as strong as me. In the end, I was all alone cause people were scared of me. Once I stopped being a jerk and showed my true self, I actually felt alot better about myself.

//anon can I start calling you therapy anon

(The kubs read this and turn to look at Monokid. For once, he is completely silent.)

Monophanie: I never thought about it like that..

Monokid: ... (He holds his face in one hand, rubbing his temples. He seems to be rather upset.)

Monosuke: ...Monokid? (He gets up and approaches Monokid, trying to get his attention.) Are you oka—

(Monokid suddenly looks up and shouts.)

(He storms off, leaving the Kubs shocked and worried.)

Monotaro: What just happened..?

(Monosuke quickly follows after Monokid.)

Do you write for any player? If so, could you do some jakub Vrana fluff? Like a date or after a fight

You Anon are my first ask and I'm grateful for you and I always will be. To answer you question yeah, I'll write it to the best of my ability and if I screw it up in your opinion I'll rewrite it. So yeah let's hop into it.

So for a date:

You'd received a text from Jakub earlier in the day telling reminding you that it was the designated date night, and to be ready, when you responded asking if you needed to be dressed in formal wear or not, and he told you sweats were fine your were slightly confused but you didnt really have a reason to say no, so you went along with it. The drive back home from the grocery store had been short, but just long enough for you to let your thoughts run wild with ideas of what date night would be tonight. 

Walking into the house, you could say that one of the things that you definitely least expected was a pillow/blanket fort in the middle of you and Jakubs shared living room.

"Babe, what the fudge?" You asked in a low whisper not really believing your eyes, not because Jakub wasnt a sweet guy just from the sweetness of the thought.

"Do you not like it? I thought we could just y'know order pizza and stay in tonight." He said hesitantly hoping that you actually did like it.

"I.. I love it, I just really appreciate it so much that I have no words." And needless to say you spent the whole night cuddling watching movies and eating pizza, until you both fell asleep comfortably in each other's arms.

Now after a fight would be different (I'm going to assume you meant a fight in the relationship, and not him getting into a fight on the ice):

So you and Jakub are one of those couples that use the "dont go to bed angry at each other rule" right. Well, you may have decided to storm off after said fight and straight to the bedroom. Jakub may or may not have said some thing that got under your skin and vice versa. You had already locked the door to the bedroom when you had gotten in so when you had finished your nightly routine and had gotten into bed when you heard footsteps outside the door, and from the bit of moonlight that could seep in from the windows you could see the outline of feet. After a minute or so Jakub decides against his better judgement and leave you alone going back to the couch, thinking about all the regrets he has from the argument. 

It's around an hour later when you realize that neither of you were fully right in this argument and neither of you should be blamed for it. So getting up out of bed and walking to the stairs, you quietly call out, "Jakub?" Not entirely expecting a response, but hoping for one.

You walk down the stairs and into the living room to find Jakub accustomed in a makeshift bed on the couch, the TV on but muted. You shake him slightly, "Kub?"

He groans and shifts a little bit before falling back asleep. So you tug in his chain and say more firmly, "Kub. Wake up it's time for sleep." Jakub shakes awake looking at you questioningly assuming that your still mad at him, until you pull the blanket off him and climb on top of him, because since his stubborn ass wont get off the couch you'll get on it.

"Go back to bed, Kub," you state quietly already drifting off to sleep, more comfortable than ever in Jakobs arms.

"Goodnight, Moje láska," Jakub whispers pressing a light kiss to your temple while, and drifting off to sleep with you.

[sips-tea-cutely]

(Sorry for the long wait I went to bed and then my electricity died)

Monokuma is affectionate to the kubs because they are his children.(well technically monokuma likes them because they look like him) I'm talking about someone that's supposed to hate him (let's say a student in the killing game) giving him affection out of no where (like a hug). How would he react then?-🔪anon

oh, i’m sorry!!! hm, well i think he’d just be ‘oh, you’re supposed to hate me, you idiot. i could kill you here and now.’ but considering his fear of being useless and his need for attention, he’d also really like it, he’s a mascot after all
