I’m Not Sure If You Already Seen This, But I Already Made A Post Detailing How DR3 Missed An Opportunity

Concept: After the kids were rescued from their abusive family. They temporarily stayed with the Naegi family. One night, Kotoko wanted to stay with big brother Makoto, because she was afraid of sleeping alone. Then Masaru joined in a tsundere way, then Monaca. Jataro and Nagisa stayed with big sis Komaru. The next morning as the kids play in the park, Komaru claimed she enjoys being a big sister.

not sure how much it counts as controversial, but the bit at the end of DR3 where the Remnants take the blame for the killing game has always rubbed me the wrong way. Not just because of personal beliefs about information, but also because in that very same anime, we see Junko blackmailing people and HPA trying to cover up their mistakes. If anyone finds out the truth about the kg, they’re screwed. Felt like it went against the theme a bit.

Yeah actually I would say this is the opposite of controversial simply because I don't think I've ever met or seen a danganronpa fan who thinks dr3 was incredible. I don't hate dr3 nearly as much as I've seen other hate it, but I have a very strong love-hate relationship with it. Especially for Future.

But I can totally understand having beef with that particular ending. (In fact I have issues with most of the Hope arc) All three of the main games, even the pessimistic one, have a theme of facing the truth no matter how awful. So it is a bit strange for danganronpa to hide the truth when the core theme has always been to expose it. I can understand the world not being ready but...it felt unnecessary. Because The Future Foundation needs to be completely rebuilt anyway. All but three leaders of the FF are dead, and one of them just kinda walked away to do who knows what. The FF is also incredibly corrupt and terribly built. There IS no need to save it by taking the blame because it's already dead by the end of the anime.

So, Akane....what problems and such do you want to get off your back right now? Or at least, feel ready to share at the moment.

So Akane, has there been anything on your mind lately? Any memories that have resurfaced?

-----------------------------------

Well, I mean...there’s been a lot....

------------------------------

Akane: There are some times when I can remember when I was....like that.... I was tearing through buildings, cities, streets and highways, you name it....I....also hurt a lot of people....I was a friggin’ beast.....A monster.......

--------------------------------

I always wanted to be strong but, strong to protect others....not just to rampage like I did....

It’s a.....bit scary to think about....

------------------------------

Hmmm, I see...I do have records that were able to go toe to toe with our strongest of warriors and advances, such as our resident boxer, Juzo.

But, it is excellent to hear that you regret those actions. Shows much progress being made here.

---------------------------------------

..................

-----------------------------------

Something on your mind Akane....?

----------------------------------------

.................

You ever had kids Miss Gekkogahara?

------------------------------

No. But I have experience raising one....

--------------------------------

Oh. Wasn’t really expecting a yes there.

-------------------------------

Don’t worry about it, it’s not that important. Now, what were you getting at?

-------------------------------

I’ve.....been raising my little brothers and sisters...basically my whole life....

Everything I did, I did for them. Dump diving, small jobs here and there, even throwing my body out there...all so that those little mucnkins would be better off fine...

Ma was hardly around, trying to scamper with her own jobs and whatnot....Sometimes bringing home other men......I was the real breadwinner there...it was up to me and the oldest siblings to look out for each other and the little ones....

------------------------------

Sounds like you care for them a whole lot, Akane. I’m sure they’re proud to have you as your sister....

------------------------------------

..............

..........I’m not so sure anymore.....

-----------------------

Hmm?

-------------------------

I....I’m not so sure they.....would care for me as their sister....o-or at all.......

....C....Considering what I did to them....

Looking back at DR talent development there's really some interesting introduction between some characters, my favorite one so far is makoto and tsumugi, i never thought this two will some interesting dialogs here

And the funniest thing here is that tsumugi is the one who noticed that makoto is the ultimate hope and not nagito, you know the one who keeps yapping about hope😭

One Piece AU where the pirates have two factions; Peace Mains and Morgania. (Reference: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro Oda)

Peace Mains: Pirates who made a living by hunting Morgania.

Morgania: Pirates who made a living by pillaging and committing crimes.

Basically a more slice of life AU with some major lore, with Luffy looking for adventures rather than One Piece and meeting new friends along the way.

Ace and Sabo followed suit because Crocodile knows that his youngest won't be able to avoid trouble. All three aims to make a crew consisting of Peace Mains pirates.

They basically travel around for weeks and for 2 months and then they go back to their hometown. The rest of the Strawhats joined but they sometimes go do their own thing sometimes. Somehow they're always nearby when the brothers get themselves into trouble. Is it fate?

For the Shichibukai, they're made out of the strongest Peace Mains and they're the top amongst the pirates. They control a large region and prevents Morgania pirates from causing havoc. Unlike canon they don't work with the Marines and aside from nicknames from the public no one knows their true identity, the only exception being Kuma.

Crocodile: He guards Alabasta and the surrounding area. As a warlord, he is known for punishing Morgania pirates to near death as a warning. He is known as Mr. 0 by the Marines due to the number nickname given to his underlings and the Desert King due to the area he rules over. He often appear without his head during Baroque Works meetings, so not even his coworkers know how he looks like.

Dracule Mihawk: Known as the Sharp-Eyed Man and the Marine Hunter by the Marines, he is known for working alone. He takes down Marines and Morgania Pirates from the shadows, his hawk mask covering his face. He lives alone on an island until he met Zoro and Perona. He starts to leave his island more often. Used to be a normal hawk when he was hit with a Devil Fruit power that turns animal into humans.

Gecko Moria: Doesn't go by any epithet, but he is whispered amongst the Marines like an urban legend of the seas. Not much is known about him.

Kuma: Was called the Tyrant and the only one who the Marines know for sure his identity is. He never stays in one place for long, but wherever he goes the people said that a big, gentle man helps them.

Boa Hancock: Nicknamed Medusa, all who laid their eyes on her become stone, and they all forget how she looks like after turning back. Lives in Amazon Lily and send out ships to help free slaves to the outside world. Hopeless romantic. She and Jinbe are friends.

Jinbe: Known as the Knight of the Seas. He frees slaves and destroy human auction houses. Marines are not sure if he's human or something else. He went to Amazon Lily shore on weekends for tea with Hancock.

Donquixote Doflamingo: Known as the Heavenly Yaksha, he always foils Marines plans to capture Peace Mains pirates. His brother, Rosinante is still alive alongside their parents. Rosi joins the Marines and along with Sengoku resolves to make sure the Marines don't do much harm. He works at a boutique belonging to his parents when not doing pirates stuff. Law is his adopted nephew and Doffy isn't sure if the kid knows or not that he's a pirate.

Tengan's skeletons in his closet

(Part 1)

*Flips through pages*

Is it really wise to stay here and waste precious time? I can’t see the benefit in reading that file?

Why do you have that file anyway?

What do you mean? It’s a record of every branch leader of the Foundation. Why wouldn’t I have something like that?

I meant have it here. Wouldn’t that be too good information for anyone to have? Especially, if it’s as personal as I’m suspecting it is…

It’s not that, it’s-

A last will in testament.

Hmm?

Or that’s how I’m personally perceiving it with your phrasing here in some of these notes sections. If someone were to find this and read these sections about what you had to say about them, it would fill them with a sense of remorse.

A forced remorse though… From only reading your personal thoughts in this file, instead of from your own mouth.

Almost as if you’re expecting to die soon.

…….

…I have no idea what you could be referring too…

Fine then. Take this section about me for instance. You write,

“Kyoko Kirigiri is a smart, confident, and capable detective. Being the one to solve most of the mysteries surrounding the Hope’s Peak Killing Game even under a stronger memory loss influence than the other students proves she is a prodigy worthy of her family name. It almost gives me no doubt in my mind that she can solve all of the mysteries remaining about Hope’s Peak Academy. But whether I should be worried about that is still uncertain”

…….

……

….Well? I’m right here. What do you want me to potentially uncover?

…….

I’m….not sure what you could be referring to…

You wrote it, my man. Is your memory failing that much already?

…………….

……..

Very well. I’ve already figured it out anyway. 

You have?

Yes. It has something to do… *Click*

*whiiiirrrrr* *Kyoko hits a button under Tengan’s desk. And one of the paintings on the wall splits open to reveal a compartment hidden in the wall with another type of file inside*

…with this.

W-Woah! That’s some serious spy-type stuff right there…!

And what is that exactly?

*Kyoko takes the file from the compartment* This…appears to be about the Izuru Kamukura Project.

Oh I’m a sucker for content about Makoto perpetuating the cycle that caused the apocalypse in the first place because it’s whats been expected of him and taught to him, like at the end of dr3 anime how he becomes the principal of the same establishment that did HORRIFIC human experimentation and perpetuated a system that crushed anyone deemed ordinary under its weight. The school ends up taking no blame for its very real and intensely horrific acts because they simply blame despair for it, so of course now that the Ultimate Hope is running it that means all the despair is gone and now Hope will happily shine again. Neatly sweeping under the rug the covered up murders and torture done in the name of that hope before. It wasn’t the system, it was a few wildcards, trust the system Makoto, it’s all you’ve been told works isn’t it? Society has to have Hope’s Peak Makoto, the two are one in the same isn’t it?

In the end his title of Hope and the expectations forces him into the same blindfold of “for hope” that allowed Izuru to exist. All he knows and really is allowed to know thanks to future foundation is that he is Hope and has to make more Hope and that as such Hope’s Peak must exist as a symbol of that Hope. Which is why when I write post danganronpa 3 content and acknowledge the canon of “he principal now” I have characters who actively oppose and fight against the re-installment of such a system because it’s just such a bad idea but the propaganda and hope worship is so intense Makoto doesn’t even consider how it might not be a good idea.

Hope and Despair are just so entwined you cannot be an ultimate hope without understanding and being able to use ultimate despair. The two concepts are so twisted together that Junko can cause massive hope if she chooses (ie warriors of hope) and Makoto can create great despair (accidentally letting a second killing game happen thanks to his illegal terrorist rehabilitation program) not to mention hope to one is despair to another, and there really is no way of predicting which way the pendulum will point to until after the act of potential hope OR despair is taken. Ultimate Hope? Ultimate Despair? The talents are one in the same at the end of the day. Anyone deemed to be an Ultimate Hope is one thought of “greater good” away from the next Tragedy. Makoto is no different, and the system will inevitably push his morals to that point if no one intervenes.

Thrilled to announce my first-ever Zine collaboration!

I recently joined Danganronpa Zine Club on Discord and had a chance to participate in Cover Album: An Ibuki Fanzine! For this zine, each artist redesigned an album cover featuring Ibuki. Here is my piece for the zine inspired by Florence + the Machine's "Dance Fever".

Looking forward to posting more of my work with these creative and talented people in the future!

The Zine is available for free at the link below! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qbwfZqz9Ywzy6uTPI33DkYB3QJzOSRpS/view?usp=sharing

How’s Ibuki?

Okay I'll start off with Ibuki Mioda; I would say that while she is cheerful, friendly, outgoing and has good parents - she does have a mental condition.

Wait... Ibuki has a mental condition?

Indeed, it's ADHD or Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and it's unmedicated and no, if asking - her parents couldn't get the medication because it's illegal here - in fact I even say she gets along pretty well with her parents.

I see... Ibuki did mention that her parents aren't bad at all but if that's the case... it must be challenging.

It is, there were thoughts of leaving the country to get this medication but Ibuki wanted to stay because of her band, mostly she say that it was due to creative differences but in reality I do think Ibuki was lonely and just wanted friends, she even got accepted into Hope's Peak...

As for Mikan,... well I'm sure your aware of her background, right?

Not...really, all I know is that Hiyoko really doesn't like her but I didn't know why and she just tripped over herself, I just... figure that was just her being her...

Well sadly for Mikan, her life is filled with tragedy and trauma that I think Hiyoko wasn't even aware of or never care; she had a whore of a mother who constantly whored her out, her clients use her for sex, ask her take off her clothes and other favors.

Even at school, she was bullied for it; often doing favors for them, wanting to be useful that she develop a lot of issues even going to the point of being an attention seeker, especially her athazagoraphobia.

Athazagoraphobia? What is that...?

The fear of being forgotten; she was so scared of it that she would do anything for attention - even going into compromising positions to get attention, even bad attention as she can't tell the difference and given Hiyoko's hatred for those that lie and deceitful people.

To put it simply, Hiyoko and Mikan enable each other to be their worse selves and the 2 never got to understand each other because of it.

...I never even notice, it's no wonder.
