Yes... You need to keep this part in mind, because the game certainly doesn't :nick:

Something else I want to add even though I haven't played any more

Spoiler: Chapter 1
I don't like Nagito. And it's not in the "well, the game must be doing something right!" kind of way. I dislike his character. He seems to heavy on pushing whatever theme the game is

I don't really *get* him. Like, usually when confronted with an insane character, you're like "oh wow this guy is insane but I can see how his own twisted logic makes sense from his perspective. It's crazy, though." WIth Nagito, I don't get it. I don't even get how it makes sense from his perspective

I just think he's annoying. Maybe it's his English VA. Idk

I don't know why, but I thought it was really, really clever how he didn't rig the drawing for cleaning duty and just trusted that he would get picked because he's lucky. It's stupid, but...I don't know. It seemed appropriate

Crazy tinfoil:

Nagito and Makoto are the same person. I'm pretty sure their full names are anagrams of each other and they're both the lucky student. Perhaps Makoto got insane after being shot up with too many hope bullets at the end of DR? The only thing that makes me think this isn't the case is that Nagito is half a foot taller than Makoto

Nagito's theme is Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope!

Spoiler: Nagito Spoiler
Nah, he's not Makoto. Yes, his name is an anagram but I think I read that it was a coincidence but he is designed to be very similar to Makoto. Like, he's supposed to be an "Evil Makoto" or whatever. But yes, Nagito is the Luck student.


I personally don't like Nagito, either. Insane characters can be very entertaining and interesting (like Genocider) but Nagito skipped that part and went straight into the "If you don't shut up, I will shove my fist into your insane face" annoying state. Also, he talks too much.

If you get a chance, I recommend switching the game to Japanese audio after you're done with the game, then playing the clip where...

Spoiler: Chapter 1
...Nagito laughs psychotically. Nothing against the English VA's for this game (Except Monokuma. Can't stand his voice), most of them did a terrific job, but I personally thought Nagito's Japanese VA did a better job of portraying a character that was seriously screwed up in the head.

Doesn't make me like Nagito any more, but it makes him slightly less grating maybe?

@Cat Damn, I thought I was onto something

@Doctor I'll definitely do that (and I like Monokuma's English voice, but that's the one I started with). What bothers me about Nagito's voice is that he sounds like the host to Blue's Clues or something. Like, it doesn't sound like a person speaking. It sounds like a person deliberately changing their voice (like how a person changes their voice when talking to a very young child/dog/baby)

Spoiler: Nagito
The first game had an incredibly black and white view of hope and despair. I actually thought that Nagito was supposed to be an "agent of hope" and show that it's actually a morally grey issue. Like he would show the dangers of hope and how it's not always practical or good

Maybe I'm expecting too much, though


Edit:
Spoiler: Chapter 2
Something that did bother me is that there was really no proof that the killer was Peko besides the fact that she was wet. It was just a lot of assumptions

I mean, she confessed anyway because she wanted to be found guilty but still. It felt very weak

Spoiler: DR2-3
Another case that I solved immediately but with a twist--I didn't guess the killer correctly

My first suspect was actually Mikan but then I thought, "No that would be really stupid. That's not gonna happen."

What I should've thought was "that would be really stupid, so that's what's gonna happen." I was still suffering after-effects from Case 2 so I must've forgotten what game I was playing

I actually thought it was Akane the entire time, faking her disease. She had a hospital gown, she could've accessed the conference room, she was more annoying than Mikan so I would've rather had her die, and she didn't have an alibi because the crime did pretty much take place in the hospital. I thought it was shitty that the game never addressed her as a suspect, the reason being she was infected by the disease. Yet they reveal at the end of the case that Mikan was infected by the disease

Honestly, I'm kind of pissed at the twist. It's so cliche to make the meek, timid girl a cold-blooded murderer. It wasn't shocking at all. Just annoying. Then, they revealed she was infected by the disease and I was like "oh, that's good. Adds an element of tragedy because even though she is the killer, it wasn't her fault." Then it was revealed that the disease just brought her memories back so yeah, she was evil all along. It was a ruse -_-

When the game started talking about belief vs. doubt, I thought they'd actually backpedal and be like "wait...she isn't the killer!" Not to be

Sigh. I really liked Mikan. Other than that, I thought the mystery was still kind of stupid. At least Gundham is still alive

Decided to start playing DR2 all over again. Been a while, so I assume I forgot most of the stuff and should make the game fun again. At lead I get to re-live Komaeda's wonderful antics :redd:

Spoiler: DR2-3
at first I honestly thought the case was going to end up like Sakura where Ibuki committed Suicide, but gave up on that when Saionji wound up dead. Was so glad she was killed off to be honest. I found her the most annoying out of everyone. What I was expecting though with Ibuki's death was that Mikan could have convinced her to commit suicide some how since Ibuki was very gullible because of the disease. I would have liked to see that better than Milan simply choking her to death.

That disease thing never made sense to me. I always figured it wasn't an actual disease, it was just Monokuma's words having a psychosomatic effect.

By the way, have you noticed a Repeat theme in the murders compared to DR1?

The disease thing made sense to me if you think about it logically.

Spoiler: DR 2 Ending
The reason why it makes sense is because you have to remember that they are all avatars inside a virtual reality. It's obvious that Monokuma messed with their programming in order to program the Despair Disease in those he felt would cause a killing to most likely occur.

Actually a defense like that usually does work out as a defense. That is why there is such things as Insanity pleas.

It's not as if Monokuma would care whether or not the killer was in his/her right mind. To him, a kill is an excuse to punish at least one more classmate, regardless of how little control they had over their own actions.

I thought it was Mikan, but I wasn't totally sure, because, well... The reason I suspected Mikan was because the killer blasted the heat in the room to obscure the time of death. The only one who would have the medical knowledge to know to do that would be Mikan. But the only one who had the medical knowledge to figure out the time of death was Mikan anyway, so there was no reason to blast the heat... All she had to do was lie about the time of death... But then I figured it was DR so something stupid like that was totally fair game.

Also fyi, in retrospect this case's motive is the only one in the entire game I like (although it's also the stupidest one the first time you go through it)

Of course, if you think about it logically, it also kinda makes the plot fall apart.

If he could control them to a certain extent by messing with their programming like that, why not just use that to achieve all his goals more directly?

Well, the point is
Spoiler: DR2-3
Mikan had no need to do something to obscure the time of death, because she was the only one who could determine the ToD. So instead of making it really hot, all she had to do was lie about the ToD and nobody would be any wiser.

Yeah I thought that weird, too. I'm also not sure why she lied about the hanging/strangulation thing? Once Saionji entered the picture it was clear that it was a double murder. I mean, I guess it's possible she wanted it to look like murder-suicide but...

What bothered me about Chapter 3 was that the crime was just needlessly complicated anyway. Why can't these high school students realize that knocking on someone's cottage and stabbing them to death in the middle of the night is more effective than making an extremely convoluted mystery that will just end up leaving more clues?

Chapter 2 was pretty good with this, I think. The only complicated part was framing Saionji and that wasn't even that bad. It essentially just became "Peko hits woman with bat, drags body, washes herself, leaves through window with sword." That's fine

Like, Mikan didn't have to go through all the effort. If she just slit Ibuki's throat in the middle of the night and then said that she was taking care of Nagito all night/asleep, then she could've easily claimed that someone snuck in the hospital and took advantage of the situation. I don't know. I know at the very least that me, the player, would've been less suspicious of her

*innocent whistling* And that aren't the only super similarities~ ie the rest of the cases will pretty much feel familiar.
Also, with Chapter 1 I was more referring to the victim not actually being the intended one.

Considering it was in response to Monroe mentioning liking a specific character and you saying they'll hate Chapter 4, it's bound to be that the specific character will not survive that Chapter's end. (Unless his name is Naegi, it's the 5th Chapter and Alter Ego pops up out of nowhere because... BECAUSE OF REASON!)

You know, the best way to prevent the students from killing each other would be to implement a buddy system. Everyone has to be paired up with a buddy, and they can't leave each other's sight. That way, if one of the pair ends up dead, you can be pretty certain it was the survivor who did it.

On the other hand, Monokuma would probably just make a rule against having a buddy system if the students ended up doing that, but hey, it's worth a shot.

(of course, this sort of falls apart if there's an uneven number of students, but as long as co-conspirators have no benefit to being a co-conspirator, the lone student should be relatively safe)

Well, I guess this could technically be explained since Monokuma just wanted Chiaki gone so he'd bend the rules a little. He should've been called out on it, though

That's not even what I hate about the ending, but anyway. Here are some plot holes

Spoiler: Whole Game
1. So in Chapter 4, they explain that Gundham killed Nekomaru because he really just wanted to save everyone since they were giving up on life. Why did he try to fight so much in the trial and hide his involvement then? I know the answer is "because then it wouldn't be a good mystery" but this could easily be remedied by giving a lot of Komaeda's role in the trial to Gundham--have Gundham help a lot and explain at the end that he wanted to be found guilty

2. ONE GIRL brought down the end to the entire world. Wow

3. Let's go further. I don't even believe one girl could manipulate an entire high school class. We're meant to believe that the personalities of the cast at the beginning of their Hope's Peak terms is the same as the beginning of the game, right? Why would they listen to some girl going about despair? I don't this game understands people. The only person I can see Junko convincing is Mikan since she's always aiming to please and is a victim anyway

4. Chapter 5. Komaeda torturing himself was very useless. Are they implying he's a sadist? Anyway, to perform his plan, he could've just locked the door and then we hears them busting it down, he sets the curtain on fire. As he lies behind the fire, alive, they come in with fire grenades and poison him. The plan is still accomplished. The only difference is that the characters figure out what happened sooner, but the conclusion remains the same

5. How did Junko not know what "11037" meant? She was present for that mystery

6. The characters are ready to graduate at the beginning of Chapter 6. However, Monokuma says "wait, are you sure? I need to show you some despair first yadayadayada." Why would he do this? Why didn't he just let them choose "graduate" immediately? That's what he wanted

Not a plothole but the huge countdown timer is built up the entire game and it's literally used for nothing. There's no point to keeping it

7. Why does the rule "you can only kill two people" exist? Why wouldn't Monokuma want one student to kill everyone and then have the student choose "graduate"? Junko gets more bodies to control that way

8. Hell, why didn't Monokuma rig the first trial and just say "Not enough people voted for Teruteru! Majority went to Komaeda! All of you are dead!" and then just have Teruteru graduate? You can't say that Monokuma has to follow the rules because he didn't in the first game and the class trial isn't even part of the computer program. It's part of the virus which HE controls

9. How did people fuck Junko's corpse? Weird question, I know, but the game brought it up and her corpse was just a puddle of flesh and broken bones

Again, not a plothole, but why did they make the villain Junko again?????? Were they that uncreative? Do these games NEED an overarching story?

Junko's just so awful. I can't handle another game with her

I didn't like Komaeda either

Anyway, ideas like Peko being a tool to that kid and not even seeing herself as human...that's actually interesting. It was kind of well-executed, too, but I thought it was kind of stupid that anybody even considered Peko wasn't the blackened because she's "just a tool" (cause she's technically human)

Keep this specific part in mind as you continue through the game.

Spoiler: Endgame
Well, I guess this could technically be explained since Monokuma just wanted Chiaki gone so he'd bend the rules a little. He should've been called out on it, though

Spoiler:
I was more referring to how none of the students even thought of using the "physical murderer was actually a tool, mastermind should be the guilty" defense, especially when the game tried way too hard to make Nanami's impending death feel like a hopeless (pun not intended) situation.

Yeah, that bugged me a ton too. I mean, I don't think it should have worked (as it would've thrown the whole game off), but considering the ending of Chapter 2 had set that up so much, it should've at least been brought up.

But yeah, welcome to DR, JM. And to

JUNKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


I already warned you, didn't I? There's no deep meaning or planning behind the overarching story of DR; the plot of each game is simply ad hoc-ed to make whatever setting the creator wants for the game, without any thought given to the plot holes and unanswered questions that pop up.

I just don't understand why these games NEED an overarching story. Hell, they don't even need a big explanation for why the characters are trapped and have to kill each other. I'm fine with, "A very rich man gets off on it" or "a man wants to broadcast it on television." I don't know. I don't need all this other crap they throw in there

Like, the final trials don't need to be about unraveling the mystery of the school. Chapter 5 of DR was on the right track but then they fucked it up. Chapter 5 of this game could've been the final chapter had they tied up some other loose ends earlier/didn't introduce those stupid plot elements to begin with

Anyway, Chapter 2 of DR2 was my favorite. I also liked the funhouse in Chapter 4. That was kind of neat

I was looking at another board that had a poll for the least favorite chapter. A lot of people picked Chapter 3 but one of the comments was "The one person who picked Chapter 6 must be a troll because it's the epic conclusion that ties all the loose ends together." I kind of slapped myself there

Also

Spoiler: Endgame
The one *good* thing I can say about the ending is that it made me more okay with Mikan being the killer in Chapter 3, considering everyone was a despair student. I still would've rather had it be Akane since she was by far my least favorite the entire game (also really hated Teruteru and Hiyoko) but whatever

Weird question, I know, but the game brought it up and her corpse was just a puddle of flesh and broken bones


Um... pretty sure if you dig deep enough in flesh and bones, you'll find the pelvis... and stuff...

Spoiler: Komaeda Spoiler
I'm more wondering, if she was basically broken bones and flesh, WHY does Komaeda have her arm and WHY does it look like it's just fine? Sure, plastic surgery, but you'd see SOME issues with it. Even on the fingers. (And why does he keep the nails polished?)

2. ONE GIRL brought down the end to the entire world. Wow


I STILL have no idea how she managed to do that, the manipulating I mean, OR why it took over the entire world. It's basically like if a school shooting in our world somehow results in everyone going insane and killing each other. Ain't gonna happen. :ron:

PS: And what the FUCK was up with the Monokuma-Monuments in DR!? That was just... was I supposed to laugh or be shocked?

In all fairness, we probably should have given up on the plausibility of the game's scenario the instant we learned being the "Ultimate Fanfic Writer" qualifies someone for studying at one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Dangan-Ronpa appears to thrive on the absurd and implausible. Some people are able to enjoy that rather than ask questions the developers probably never had any real interest in answering.

Who had that title? :eh?:

Danganronpa feels like FNAF. If you want to make a mystery/scary game, then flat out do that and don't bother with any story. Don't try to create a story around it, because it'll stick out and we'll see that the story was tacked on like the after-thought it was.

Hifumi... Yamada, was it? [looks up name] Yeah, that's it. The walking nerd stereotype from the first game. It was "Ultimate Fanfic Creator," though.

For me, it's "Super High School Otaku". I don't care if other people don't know what an Otaku is, they should have kept "Otaku" and let people look the word up. It's not like Yamada doesn't look like the absolute stereotype of it. (We should call them all Ultimate Stereotypes - that's what Hope Academy collects)

He was SHSL Doujin, wasn't he? That actually is impressive.

(Plus, him and Leon are literally the only students in DR1 where their SHSL was actually relevant to the crime)

I'd like to see... "better" talents. I mean, Ultimate Biker Gang Leader? Ultimate Princess? Come on... those aren't talents, that's just a stupid title.

My OC for Danganronpa is called "Ultimate Curiosity" because she tried out everything and gets interested. And it goes with the idea of Curiosity killed the cat, though she survives. Where's... the Ultimate Gymnast who is so trained and athletic that they can easily avoid attacks? Through contortions and all. Or the Ultimate Spy/Agent who can make a weapon out of practically anything and has a really sharp wire in a ring that can be used to stab people?

Well, SDR2 did a much better job of this. At least one person's SHSL was an important factor in every case (except maybe 6 because lolSDR2-6)
