Valkyria Chronicles, Squad Hope (VC x DR)

In a crossover maybe 5-10 people will appreciate, here’s my picks for the various casts of the many Danganronpa installments and how I would organize them if they were structured like a Valkyria Chronicles Squad. Note: I’ll mainly be going by Squad E’s set-up in VC4, which removed the Armored Tech class and simplified the skill trees from VC2 and VC3 into armor and weapon types, rather than classes.

Tank Commander

Makoto Naegi (1st Lieutenant, later Captain): Being that “Inspire” is an available order in the series, he felt fitting as the entire squad’s commander; outside of the tank, he’d be a Scout. His plans -though unusual for a high ranked commander and likely to make other squads doubt him- have come through time and again with his “everyone comes home” mantra inspiring loyalty that few other commanders can boast.

Shuichi Saihara (Tank Driver): Like Isara in VC1 or Miles in VC4; I would naturally have him beside Naegi in the tank, helping to come up with tactical moves. His character arc would be learning to speak up and showing himself to be an immensely talented tactician in his own right; Naegi encourages him frequently to one day surpass him and lead the squad.

Secondary Tank Driver

Kyousuke Munakata (2nd Lieutenant): Like Zaka in VC1 or Ronald in VC4, he’d drive a smaller tank solo, setting him up as a “rival” character to Naegi. He’ll follow orders, but won’t be afraid to question his commander’s more risky maneuvers.

APC Driver

The Imposter: Like Dan in VC4, he’d carry soldiers into battle aboard his APC, telling them “I will carry you all” as he does so. Few know his true identity but absolutely none question his driving skills.

Scouts

Kokichi Ouma (Sergeant): Like Alicia in VC1 or Minerva in VC4, his stats would be frightening; despite the sheer lack of trust his comrades place in him preventing him from moving up in rank, he would frequently come up with strategies of his own that often pay off, undermining Naegi’s leadership.

Rantarou Amami: Being a “survivor” his evasion stats would be tremendous. He largely joined the conflict to travel deep as he could into Imperial territory in search of his lost sisters.

Aoi Asahina: She’d likely have access to the “Double Movement” potential because she’s so fit. A plucky girl that helps keep morale high within the squad.

Daisaku Bandai: The joke here is that he’s tall and conspicuous enough that people assume he’d be a lancer and yet is so strangely good at blending in with nature that he makes for a perfect scout.

Yasuhiro Hagakure: Given his skill for escaping the mob unharmed and slip out of danger, he’d also have a strong evasion stat (and probably some lousy accuracy).

Rouma Hoshi: He’d be a powerful all-around capable scout with high accuracy and defense. His squad story would be essentially based around finding his purpose in life, as opposed to looking for a “good death” in battle.

Sonosuke Izayoi: He’d be another tough scout with some potentials leaning towards stealth assassination.

Yuuto Kamishiro: He’d likely have access to a variety of stealth potentials to let him handle recon and the like (without necessarily being fit to engage enemies directly).

Koichi Kizakura: He’d be one of the rare “defensive” scouts able to protect camps all across the map. Happy to be of help, he claims to work best as a “spotter” to the squad’s star sniper, though she’ll deny needing his help every single time.

Mahiru Koizumi: Given her talent, she’d be almost purely recon focused, probably having higher-than-average accuracy. Given the opportunity, she’ll prefer not to kill.

Leon Kuwata: I find the notion amusing of him claiming that he wants to switch classes to shocktrooper because they often get all the glory only to turn out to be completely suited to scout work in a later squad story (though he’d still be in denial by the end of it).

Sayaka Maizono: Like Freesia York in VC1, her background as a dancer makes her work well at the general necessities of a scout. Given her role as the “heroine” character, I’d have likely made her the medic if not for the role being taken already by someone better suited.

Komaru Naegi: The commander’s younger sister who graduated the academy some years after him, he was always quick to tell people she inherited all the firing accuracy in the family. Taking to the battlefield herself, she’s eager to prove this to be true.

Kanon Nakajima: A younger girl who entered the military to follow after her cousin, many ironically believe due to her firing accuracy and ruthlessness with dispatching hostiles that she’d have been better suited to the shocktrooper class; she dismisses all of these claims each and every time, perfectly content to occupy the class closest to her cousin.

Angie Yonaga: She’d be the one with the more off-the-wall potentials that become useful in rare situations.

Shocktroopers

Hajime Hinata (Sergeant-Major): Like Rosie, Zeri or Raz, he’d be the “main” Shocktrooper with stats far above the rest, which eventually gets explained as him being the first in a series of failed attempts to create an “artificial Valkyria” like Maximilian at the end of VC1; his story arc would be overcoming this side of himself to win the war with the power of a normal human being.

Tenko Chabashira: She’d no doubt have the Man-Hater potential like Dallas Wyatt in VC1, while also making a point to protect the rest of the girls in the squad whenever she can. Some of them don’t appreciate or want said help.

Touko Fukawa: Though some see her as a jittery bookworm, once she’s in the heat of battle and witnessed enough blood, her true potential comes out, turning her into a killing machine.

Mukuro Ikusaba: I’ve considered making her a soldier of The Empire, though as a “what-if” character, she couldn’t be anything else but a Shocktrooper (having her be a Darcsen in this AU could also make for some interesting character drama)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: A young Darcsen man, he’d push himself to achieve glory for his family and to hopefully fight back against the stigma against Darcsens (like Zeri in VC2)

Nagito Komaeda: Something of a walking disaster ala Lily in VC4, his potentials would all largely be based around luck (such as “Dude Mine” or Mica Hawkins’ “Jam Jinxed“) and would most certainly either help or hinder whichever detachment he’s a part of.

Ibuki Mioda: Given that she canonically fires a flamethrower, this role seemed obvious for her. She’d probably keep a chipper attitude even in the madness of war.

Kaito Momota: Given his role as a “Hero” character, he’d naturally be one of the best shocktroopers in the squad, with stats nearly comparable to Hinata’s.

Akane Owari: She’d be a more evasion-focused trooper who occasionally experiences major downgrades to evasion due to rushing headlong into danger (much like Raz’s Reckless Charge potential)

Peko Pekoyama: Given her hardy nature, she’d be especially capable of tanking a lot of rounds, though she’d likely feel somewhat uncomfortable with a rifle (like Fleuret Valois in VC4) and have less-than-stellar firing accuracy.

Juuzo Sakakura: A powerful shocktrooper all around, his main drawback would be a disobedient streak when it comes to orders not given by Munakata.

Byakuya Togami: Naturally talented, Togami would participate mainly as a matter of family honor. As expected, he’d be the 3rd or 2nd best shocktrooper behind Hinata (or maybe even above Momota)

Lancers

Sonia Nevermind (”Honorary” Lieutenant): A noblewoman and a member of the royal family for the country your squad is protecting, her military service (and her comparatively low rank) would be an effort to inspire her countrymen by taking to the field of battle. In spite of her high station, she’ll gladly accept any orders given for the sake of the mission.

Gonta Gokuhara: Born in a small town on the outskirts, his reasons for joining the war effort would be to protect the bug habitats that The Empire is toppling.

The Great Gozu: He would likely have the highest HP of all the other lancers.

Hiroko Hagakure: A former delinquent and veteran of the last war, this woman has no problem telling people she taught her scout of a son “everything he knows.” Many doubt if this claim is something worth bragging about, though are just as quickly silenced by her ingenuity in stopping tanks dead in their tracks. Those days as a delinquent weren’t for nothing…

Kiibo: Humanized in this continuity, he would take the firing proficiency he was taught growing up to take out tanks efficiently rather than by brute force.

Isshiki Madarai: The only one of his brothers to get conscripted, this beast of a man would take great pleasure wiping out tanks for the glory of his family.

Nekomaru Nidai: A reliable man happy to support his fellow soldiers, he would dutifully “soften up” tanks before letting someone else delivery the finishing shot.

Sakura Oogami: Likely the most powerful lancer in terms of sheer destructive capacity, she’d the only one to carry the heavier equipment that other lancers dare not attempt to lug into battle.

Mondo Oowada: Something of a loner, he’d he the unit you send off to take care of pesky tanks on obscure parts of the map. He swears by his firing accuracy (though he can never match Kiibo).

Engineers

Ruruka Andou: As a bonus to her repairing and healing job, she’ll occasionally let soldiers and tank drivers have a piece of her candy upon helping them out, giving them a minor morale boost. The drawback is a major drop in morale if she does so again, refusing to hand out any more of her candy as a way to string them along. She’s a double-edged sword if there ever was one.

Chihiro Fujisaki: A tech wizard as far as the 1930′s can go, he’d be highly attentive to fixing tanks though physically frail and often needing protection from them in the thick of battle. He’s working to change this.

Miu Iruma: A self-proclaimed genius inventor, her tendency to make “modifications” to the tanks she repairs has given her something of a bad reputation, even if anything she repairs often ends up working better than it did out of the factory.

Teruteru Hanamura: He would be the type to compare both tanks and injured soldiers to various fine dishes he’s prepared in the past, saying all they need is his “special touch.” Units rarely come to him for help.

Ryouta Mitarai: Highly insecure of the quality of his repairs, he’d likely go through a squad story in which he learns to have confidence in his abilities as an engineer, though that confidence may not last. Baby steps…

Chiaki Nanami: Something of a natural genius, she would get a lot more done on the battlefield if she weren’t so sleepy. Once focused, her support on all fronts is second-to-none.

Hiyoko Saionji: Even though she calls it “lowly Greasemonkey work” she takes her job seriously enough when it comes to taking care of tanks, but can be l stingy when it comes to healing, sadistically holding Ragnaid over someone’s head while saying “Wellll… I guess I could heal you.” One of the rare engineers that both sides fear.

Kazuichi Souda: Something of a scatterbrain when it comes to tanks, he’ll stand by his repairs as being the best, though the sycophantic infatuation he’ll take with the machine once the repair is done leave some drivers reluctant to call upon his services.

Hifumi Yamada: His preference is to keep himself busy all across the battlefield by clearing mines, resupplying ammo and just generally aiding the push on the front line without sticking to any groups in particular. Aside from the commander, the only orders that’ll have him to resupply are those given by a certain red-eyed sniper…

Himiko Yumeno: Something of a lazy engineer, she’s prone to sticking close to groups when she can all while claiming to be lending “support” with her magic. Few question her on it for the simple advantage of having a semi-reliable engineer at arm’s reach.

Snipers:

Kyouko Kirigiri (Staff Sergeant): Having graduated the country’s top military academy in the same class as the current commander, many assumed she would be the one leading the squad only for her to defer the position. Some believe her preference for watching over the battlefield with “the eyes of an eagle” (as some have nicknamed it) are the reason for her choice in class.

Maki Harukawa: A famous mercenary, few in the squad are eager to lend her their trust, a position she’ll happily accept; she doesn’t want any amateurs getting in her way (such as a certain boisterous shocktrooper).

Celestia Ludenberg: Considered something of a devil behind the scope, her rank would surely improve if she weren’t so willing to allow “unworthy” marks from leaving her sights. Convincing her out of this insubordination may take some time…

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu: Often underestimated due to his missing eye, he’s happy to shut any doubts about his skills down with a well-timed shot between theirs. Some rumors claim he used to hunt in the small village his family owned beside one of the squad’s other shocktroopers, who would always bring back whatever quarry he’d taken out.

Yasuke Matsuda: A surgeon in his civilian life, many questioned his choice of class as opposed to operating as a field medic. His usual answer to this is a scalpal embedded in whatever nearby wall has some target that few would mistake for a bullseye if he wasn’t so skilled at hitting them from many meters away.

Korekiyo Shinguuji: A self-proclaimed anthropologist, he joined the war effort in order to experience the human condition in the cruelest of circumstances. Thanks to the look of glee on his face when blowing away a target that knows he has them in his sights, he’s often avoided by the rest of the squad.

Grenadier

Kaede Akamatsu: A girl with an unusual sense for viewing the battlefield like a composition, she’s prone to using musical terms like “orchestra” to refer to a combined effort and “coda” nearing the end of a mission. Somehow, despite all the chaos of war, her rounds almost always hit their mark.

Seiko Kimura: An unofficial member of the squad, she joined as a science officer tasked with testing new chemical compositions that she creates for her mortars in the field. Given the choice, she’d much rather be back in her lab, but has slowly grown accustomed to the soldier’s life beside this rowdy band of oddballs.

Ryouko Otonashi: Her position in the squad is something of a “what-if” again, but the role is largely to take advantage of her talent for predicting and analyzing coordinates.

Tsumugi Shirogane: A seemingly frail girl unfit to carry the payload of mortar rounds all grenadiers are expected to, she makes a note of always observing every possible piece of information she has access to before making a move, gaining a natural skill for manipulating her enemy’s movements into the range of her interception fire.

Gundham Tanaka: Prone to calling his rounds “Hellfire that rains from above” few are aware his strangely accurate estimations of the enemy position comes in part from the animal friends he makes before each mission, relaying intel to him before scattering.

Kirumi Toujou: An all-around reliable woman, she joined the war effort for the sake of her master’s businesses that began struggling almost immediately after, though she immediately denied when asked if it would be possible for her to destroy The Empire. Despite that, she’ll make every effort she can to accomplish that very task, one mortar at a time.

Medic

Mikan Tsumiki: The medic who rushes into the warzone to evacuate wounded soldiers. Despite assumptions of her weak or scared nature, she’s shown a surprising amount of bravery during the course of the campaign, leading the squad to trust her with their lives. Her bed-side manner is second-to-none.

Drill Sergeant

Chisa Yukizome: This immensely multi-faceted young woman is charged with training both rookies and veterans. Though she may come off as tough at first, the squad have to come to understand over time that she’s always looking out for each and every one of them. To her, every wound is something she could have prevented with better training.

Mission Control

Kazuou Tengan (General): Not a playable class per se, his role as the direct the operations themselves that the squad take part in. Given his years of military service, few question his battlefield wisdom.

Miaya Gekkogahara: As a radar operator, her role is to debrief the squad on their current mission. Despite her fiercely logical approach to strategy, many have difficulty taking to her tendency to describe the complexities of these operations with a hand puppet shaped like a pink rabbit. Her dedication to ensuring each and every unit understands the mission has endeared her to the squad.

Junko Enoshima She’d start out the game as a rival tank commander ala Jaeger or Walz with Monika as her tank driver, only for her to boredly say when backed into a corner “I hate doing this” before her eyes start glowing red while her hair pales to a snowy white, glowing all over. She’s not just a brilliant tactician: she’s The Empire’s secret weapon, the Valkyria of legend.

How does the squad manage to topple the strategic genius that’s given them this much trouble now wielding the power to decimate whole companies with a single stroke of her lance? They’ll need a Valkyria of their own, naturally.

Perhaps they have such a woman in their midst? Who can say…

The cast of D2 as the the archetypes of highschool study groups

Not gonna lie, this one is pretty hard for someone who’s never really done study groups. I’ve worked alone on the majority of things, but I can give you an idea of what they’d be like when studying.

Goodbye Despair Study Buddies!!!

Akane Owari wouldn’t be much help. She would constantly be getting off track, yet always answer things when quizzed based off of gut feelings. She’d make wild and zany shortcuts for remembering definitions (ex.”Ayudar sounds like “Hey, you there!” which is something that you’d say if you needed help, yeah? Which is perfect! Ayudar means to help!”)

Byakuya Twogami would definitely enjoy using flash card methods to help with studying. Because he would most likely be helping out with competitive people, he would decide to make a game out of it so everyone could be stimulated in a fun way. He definitely wouldn’t use this as a reason to show off how smart he is whaaaat

Chiaki Nanami would try to make games out of everything. She’d definitely be one who support Twogami’s flashcard method, and would also try making memory games out of it. She’d also go out of her way to make Kahoots and stuff just to make it even more like a game to everyone.

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu wouldn’t always be the best at being a study buddy per se, but would definitely show a rarer, more patient side. He wouldn’t admit it, but he’d definitely be excelling in just about every class he took. He would definitely be the kind of guy who refers to the weapons known as textbooks and actually make sense of the words in front of him.

Gundham Tanaka? Oh boy. Don’t get me started. This guy has no idea how to really contribute to a study group. At all. He’s not ever really needed to be in a study group, but he constantly stays on the sidelines of whatever study action is going on, promising to lend everyone his power, regardless of the consequences he should face in the foreseeable future. At least he’s supportive.

Hajime Hinata would be more than happy to take the reins and lead everyone through whatever exercises necessary if need be. He knows he works with a large group of varying personalities that can be hectic if left unattended to. Since he’s the ultimate tutor, he’d make sure to get 1-1 time with everyone, and quietly help them with understanding the stuff in front of them. He’s the State Farm of study groups.

Hiyoko Saionji would make a reward system for everyone while studying. If everyone could get a problem correct, she would let everyone eat a gummy! Not hers though, because she’ll cut you if you take her gummies. She uses reward systems everyday, trying to use it to control her anger and mean remarks to other people (besides Mikan, probably.).

Ibuki Mioda would have no idea what she’s doing either, but that’s just because she’s used to not having to sit in one place for soooooo long! It’s a pain to sit there and try to focus for prolonged amounts of time, so she would probably take frequent breaks, jamming out to whatever hectic new music she’s into. After coming back from a music break, she works faster than even Twogami.

Kazuichi Souda would definitely take the hands on approach for studying. When it comes to the subjects he does the best with, he helps others out as best as he can. This normally includes topics where models are more necessary to convey what’s going on, as opposed to subjects where you can only really get a grasp on things through words. He tends to ask Sonia for help with things like that.

Mahiru Koizumi… well, she would definitely be able to help quieter people. She isn’t one for study groups, but she does enjoy the company. It takes a lot of the stress out of studying, but she normally refrains from them until big exams comes up. That’s when she comes together with everyone she can in the class, tries to keep them quiet, and get some hardcore studying done. She would definitely be the kind of person who’s able to discern loads of information from tiny text that could be found on powerpoints and other books on the topic.

Mikan Tsumiki would go out of her way to try and be the best person when it comes to being tutored. She knows what it’s like to not be listened to when attempting to explain something, so she would definitely refrain from talking over others. She would also provide some of the most useful information and tips when it comes to studying. She would also be the one who constanly worries that people are gonna get too stressed if they sit down and attempt to continue their studies for prolonged amounts of time.

Nagito Komaeda probably wouldn’t show up to the study group to actually participate since he’s pretty sure his luck will carry him through whatever he needs help with. He’s there just to watch everyone in action and swoon over the true hope the Ultimates all bring! Because Hope Bagels! So! Much! Hope! So! Many! Bagels!

Nekomaru Nidai is definitely the dude who, while he’s smart and all that jazz, he’s definitely gonna ask 5.000 irrelevant and stupid questions. It’s not that he’s dumb, he’s just a little forgetful sometimes. He’d probably be the most optimistic about the study group and do his best to be a good member.

Peko Pekoyama doesn’t study. She is nowhere to be seen. She’s probably just outside waiting for Fuyuhiko. She may be looking at pictures of soft animals on her phone while she waits, though.

Sonia Nevermind will fuck you UP with her study tips! She’s the queen of studying! She watches everyone struggle and such, but she internally wants to take over and get things done!! She’s five steps ahead of everyone, and she’s already processing and translating what Shakespeare said in a monologue found within A Midsummer Night’s Dream while everyone’s still stuck on the American Revolution. Why was this a big deal? Did George Washington really wear a big hat? What is this?

Teruteru Hanamura is also nowhere to be seen. He’s probably off either being a horndog or getting frustrated at other foods. He would probably show up towards the end with platters of food though because everyone was working hard and whatnot.

my fingers hurt from typing this much but god do I feel accomplished
