Started out as just "what if Mikan remembering the game means Mikan remembers what she remembered in the game aka she's still Like That when she wakes up?" and then developed into "what if Mikan is offended that everyone denounced Junko....and doesn't think they deserve to have any remnants of her...." thassit just a little idea blurb
I don't want anyone to think I hate Mikan tho she's fun
The whole “smol bean”, “cinnamon roll”, and “potato” stuff gives me the major ick.
I’m definitely gonna make a stance on this, I’m on the side of Skullgirls fans who are angry about the censorship going on in the game.
If people were mad about the boobs and panty shots, maybe they shouldn’t be playing the boobs-and-panty-shots game. Just a thought.
You know the more I play and replay Danganronpa, the more incredibly out-of-pocket it seems that the series ended on Naegi becoming the Principal of Hopes’ Peak Academy???? We’re ignoring V3 right now. I’m just talking mainline continuity.
Like, even ignoring all the crimes against humanity that the academy perpetrated or that their ever-growing pursuit of talent helped Junko bring about the end of the world, reopening Hope’s Peak goes against the core message of the games???
Makoto may be the “Ultimate Hope” and the “Ultimate Lucky Student,” but in his heart and in reality, he’s just an average kid who won a lottery. The fact he ISN’T special and yet becomes the savior of the world as his Super High School Level Classmates fall into despair around him is what makes him a great protagonist for the franchise! To attend Hope’s Peak you have to be scouted, but no one in the before-times was ever going to recognize an extraordinary ability to remain positive! The point of Makoto’s character is that people have talents that aren’t going to be recognized as useful or explementary, but they’re just as important to the survival of humanity as those who make ground-breaking discoveries or legendary artistic pieces.
It’s not a coincidence that every main character in the franchise (up to V3) was a “regular” person: Makoto, Hinata, Komaru. They may not be “special,” but they still do great things, because every human has the ability to make a difference in their world!
And it’s not just the main characters, because Ishimaru even states he hates being labeled as special, because he believes that “ordinary” people who work hard are the true Ultimates in society. And in Ultra Despair Girls, Toko takes offense at Komaru saying she doesn’t understand weakness, because by being “special” it makes her strong. Taking literally one thing a person excels at and making it their entire identity ignores the actual strengths and weaknesses that all humans have. Additionally, it discourages people from finding those strengths within themselves as Komaru was always so quick to try and give up and use her status as “normal” as an excuse to run away and not try.
On the other side of things, characters like Byakuya used their status as an excuse to hurt those that were “beneath” them. He manipulated crime scenes and was a just a general douche to literally everyone, because he thought he was better than them. By creating a society of stratification based on talent or wealth or whatever else, you are creating a society that is ripe to justify inequality and unfair treatment.
And going back to those crimes against humanity, it is the drive to become “great” when you’re not that spearheaded all those human experiments and mistreatments and treating humans like a game character to level up instead of a person to be treated with respect no matter their ability.
The fact that all of this was just ignored and that the series sort of turned its back on its very ethos in the last leg of the franchise is just baffling to me.
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.
Get ready for a heart attack!!!
game theory: is junko enoshima secretly george bush
The killing game was televised.
Can you imagine being a survivor involved with the Kamakura project.
Seeing Makoto.
Who is exactly what the project wanted to create.
The Ultimate Hope.
An "average" talentless boy possessing the ability to bring people up in a way no one has ever seen before.
Junko knew about the Kamakura project.
And I bet she was smiling to herself because those who worked on the project were killed.
If not killed barely surviving and in danger at every turn.
Lest their monster comes for them.
And seeing that they not only failed but their solution was right their in the year below.
Someone they never considered because he was talentless and pathetic, the irony.
Is everything they wanted to create and they can't control him.
