ALSO i like saiibomatsu because you take all the silliness + pain and suffering of the narrative + protagonist parallels of saimatsu and it just becomes More when kiibo is there too. like i think they would just have fun together, i love how weird and funny saiibo is and how much they care about each other despite losing all their braincells when they're together, and what if kaede had TWO cringefail loser bfs she loves so so much, i think kaedekiibo is a very underrated pair with a lot of potential to like, see themselves in each other and get really passionate about stuff and then they have shuichi to make sure they don't go too far. again it's hard for me to articulate i just sorta rotate them in my brain at very high speeds

BIG WIN. i love how funny and stupid saiibo is it's true and YESSSSS kaede with two losers. she likes them pathetic. i'd love to see kaede encouraging kiibo on his dreams heh <3 the sillies. kaekiibo is sooo optimist4optimist it's nice when they have shuichi's groundedness to balance them out

something i've thought about for a million billion hours even though it's probably not even this deep i just like danganronpa ok

i love how kaede shuichi and kiibo are all protagonists of v3 in their own ways: shuichi is the protagonist to the player, kiibo is the in-universe protagonist, and kaede is sort of... a protagonist only to herself. she tells us when we meet her and she wavers between being an in-universe protagonist and also just a plot twist device to the player. dr does this thing where every game has Character Archetypes and i like that "protagonist" is a role so strong that it has a defining physical trait (the ahoge) to the point that like. toko gains an ahoge in udg because she steps into that role. kaede shuichi and kiibo all have one. shuichi's is hidden under his hat only for him to reveal it after kaede dies and passes the role onto him. kiibo's is literally an antenna that i assume lets him receive wireless communication from audience surveys or whatever so it LITERALLY makes him a protagonist, it physically lets him fill that role. it's funny

AND i like the way they all deal with their protagonist roles - kaede and kiibo both do something that pushes them out of the role and breaks their narrative constraints, and it gets them killed and it falls to shuichi both times, someone who was never meant to have it in the first place. and THAT'S why he was able to end danganronpa for good because he's not tied down by the battle between hope and despair that every protagonist has had to go through (this is literally spelled out in the sixth trial you guys already know). i just love that theme of breaking everything and refusing to play a part, making your own meaning out of it, the importance of fiction and also of autonomy, etc. as soon as shuichi becomes the protagonist, the breaking down of the narrative is set in motion, and it culminates in the fourth wall being literally shattered. v3 is all about the reality inside the tv show, and i feel like anyone who steps out of their predestined role is able to see it, to feel it, even just a little...

like we have these two characters who are obviously protagonists who both act in their roles perfectly (kaede leading the group and wanting everyone to be friends and escape together without killing, kiibo listening to the audience and showing them the game and following hope) UNTIL they do something they weren't meant to do. a protagonist has never orchestrated a killing before. as soon as kaede started planning it, even if she ultimately failed at killing the mastermind or killing anyone at all, she was no longer a protagonist, because danganronpa protagonists don't kill

and because of kaito's execution, led up to from his and kokichi's last big fuck you to the narrative and the mastermind, kiibo is totally disconnected from his purpose and can do what he was never meant to do either. a protagonist is supposed to play along and win in the name of hope over despair (like how he acts as soon as he gets his connection to the audience back), not just indiscriminately destroy everything to bring the killing game down. he becomes a total wild card who breaks the fictional world apart, pulls aside the curtain, lets shuichi find out the flashback lights were fake, destroys the physical fourth wall for good, etc. and speaking of breaking the fictional world, when kaede "passes on her role" she literally causes the neon-lit-up trial UI to shut off and shuichi turns it back on again. a fantastic visual that has not left my brain. we love a kaede kiibo breaking the fiction parallel

tldr in both of these instances, kaede and kiibo stop being protagonists (in danganronpa's very distinct specific terms) and the role falls to shuichi, someone who was never meant to have it. and because of that, this danganronpa collapses in on itself. i think that's sick as hell

#meows #if i had time i could make this a much more well-structured essay type deal #like i have thoughts but this is the best i can do connecting them all rn #danganronpa v3 #danganronpa v3 spoilers #drv3 spoilers #it's so interesting thinking abt. the in-universe switch from video games to real life broadcasts #i imagine the protagonist role became much more fluid after that #this is saiibomatsu propaganda also. you will think about them with me

seeing as I recently got my commissioned Halloween icon and now I’m in Halloween Mode (TM) its a PERFECTTIME to post these goofies ehehe

every year I usually design unique halloween costumes for saiibo seperate from merch but this year I wanted to do something media specific and realized that having saiibomatsu dressed as the one and only anarchy splatcast idols WOULD BE TOO PERFECT TO PASS UP

DEEP CUT SAIIBOMATSU PROPAGANDA IS REAL AND IM SPREADING IT RIGHT NOW

i love saiibo they're so funny my friends have affectionately described them as having "strange chemistry" being "fucking embarrassing" etc that is better than anything i could ever say

i feel like i don't draw them being affectionate enough but i know it took them forever to be able to hold hands or hug or kiss without getting so flustered about it they had to stop and try again. like it's not about not wanting to i just feel like the Initiating is hard for them at first. shuichi wants to get better at it for kiibo and also for kaede because that's just one of his character traits, and then you have kiibo over here who's like "shu- shuichi!! um may i hold your hand please?" and he's so earnest but also so visibly flustered about it that shuichi just folds too and they're both like oh my god can we try again our hands didn't even touch this time

#posting this bc i was talking to finny about similar stuff hehe #ot3posting #i feel like pre relationship kiibo just did not initiate touch with anyone #type of guy who has never hugged before #and i dunno admitting the close feelings makes kiibo acutely aware of them and how shuichi feels about him #so both of them completely lose their cool about the smallest things KFHDKFBDK #theyre silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #saiibomatsu to me is these 3 navigating new relarionship stuff #and being silly about it. like shuichi and kiibo are just like that #and kaede has the ability to take their hands and help them hold each other jfhdjf #but she's not a perfectly smooth confident romance expert girlboss!!!!!!!! #the stuff she does that flusters them isn't really because she was explicitly trying to and she's just as much of a flustered goober as #-​shuichi is. kaedes allowed to be the functional glue of the polycule but not too much ok. shes silly

[crushcoreedits]
