Protective - Platonic Warriors Of Hope X Ultimate Dragon Reader Part Two

For -2+2, how does the death order in the SDRA2 game change?

For both Sdra2 and Dra the death order doesn't actually change all that much. -2+2 really isn't one of those story overhaul kind of Aus where all cases change, more like one small change creates more differences later down the line.

The small change in question being Ayame bringing help to Kizuna in Ch2 instead of killing her, which other than adding them do the survivour count goes on to affect the Sdra2 Kg later, as it is a reenactment of the Dra Kg.

The gist of how that one goes is;

Chapter 1: Fully unchanged.

Chapter 2: Emma attacks Kokoro at the twins concert and the whole freezer and pretending to be a sick Kokoro thing still happens, tho only for about a day because Mikado comes in and reveals the trick out of not wanting his reenactment ruined so early on. Emma is exposed as a void, both her and Kokoro survive the game tho.

Chapter 3: The murder case is unchanged, however only Kanade gets executed because Mikado makes up a rule post-trial that killing intent is needed for someone to classify as a blackend. He really didn't take Kanade interfeering in his reenactment well.

Chapter 4: The murder case with Shinji, Nikei, Yuki and Sora still happens as it did in canon, tho parallel to it Iroha tries to knock Emma off the tower as revenge for her "stealing" her spot as the void who should live because of Ch2 shenaningans. Emma dodges and Iroha falls to her death, her body is found by Kokoro and Hibiki.

Chapter 5: Unchanged mostly, main difference trial-wise is that Syobai was there because Kokoro stole his exit code and left (explained in more detail here). They still lose and face the mass execution though.

Chapter 6: Largely unchanged? The main beats are the same but because of how Teruya and Rei's backup/security codes work in this Au (explained in more detail here) both of them are stuck in a coma so Rei is not present in Ch6 and instead Tsurugi enters the simulation alongside Kizuna and Ayame, and it's from that change that most differences happen but i can't go into detail here because it's something i actually want to maybe write down properly later down the line.

Because really, the reason i'm fine rambling about the Sdra2 portion of this Au is because i have no intent in writing it in proper fic format. -2+2 is a Dra centric Au, hence why that's the part with 22 chapters out currently and what should be the focus here, as fun as it is to think about how the second game plays out.

So I had a funny dream the other night.

It involved a very gay witch.

Damn buggy got it that gyaat ( I not sorry at all)

We're crazy with my friend on fem shuggy

(Mini warning, I might have fuck up in the word ";9)

hope's peak shenanigans

(platonic gokuiru and ougoku comments only please! i hate this site why can't you people be normal)

Lol please do part 3 of that will be so much funny

Lmao here you go🤣

Platonic Warriors of Hope x Ultimate Dragon Reader Part Three

After doing some digging, you found out the names of the horrible teenage demons that hurt your precious dragon cubs.

Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa.

A talentless manga fanatic and a desperate author.

Fantastic.

It wouldn't be hard to find them; the Warriors of Hope were on a murder playdate, so you were on your own. So with your wings, you lifted your body into the stormy sky and flew around, scanning the area for two teenage demons.

And after only a short minute or two, you found them.

You summoned a fireball to your claws and launched it at the ground near them.

When the ball of fire hit the ground, the two girls let out a shriek.

"Wh-What the hell was that?!" The taller one called out.

"U-Uhm... Toko, look..." The younger one gestured toward the sky with a shaky finger. 

There you were, in all your glory.

You let out a deep snarl.

"Komaru Naegi, and Toko Fukawa," you stated, pointing at the two girls respectively. 

"Who the hell are you?" Toko demanded, pointing at you.

"My name is no business of yours. But I am the Ultimate Dragon," you said, blowing a long line of flames out of your mouth. The girls immediately moved to the side to avoid the flamethrower.

"Wh-What the hell k-kinda talent is that?!" Toko demanded, while Komaru just eyed you curiously.

"Silence, smelly author! I can smell your revolting stench from up here. Have you even heard the word 'shower' in your life?" You snarled. Now the girl was seething with anger.

The younger one, on the other hand, was fascinated.

"Woah! How do you summon fire like that? Can you change into an actual dragon? Did you go to Hope's Peak? Are there others like you? What kind of dragon are you?"

Toko facepalmed. "Jesus Christ, K-Komaru... D-Do you ever h-have a f-f-filter?"

You ignored her questions. "Doesn't matter. Point is, I suggest you two start running."

As you spoke, you coated your clawed hands in flames, staring down at the two girls in fury. They quickly got the hint and immediately turned and started running. 

Preparing yourself, you took flight once again, and chased after them from the sky, firing balls of flames from your hands.

"I'm gonna burn you both alive like the pathetic insects you are! Nobody harms my cubs and gets away with it!"

You screamed, shooting down another ball of fire.

"What are they talking about?! What cubs? And I still don't know how they can change into a dragon!" Komaru cried, with tears in her eyes.

"D-Does it matter?! They're p-probably t-talking about those b-brats we k-keep running into!" Toko responded.

You launched another flame at the older girl, which ended up hitting the ends of her long hair.

"SHUT UP, INSOLENT FILTH! HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY CUBS LIKE THAT?! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR REAL NOW!"

While you were rampaging, the Warriors of Hope had just gotten back from their playdate, and were standing from afar, watching the show.

Masaru Daimon

Cheering you on

"Yeah, go, (Name)! Give those demons a taste of Hell!"

Enjoying the show while fist pumping the air and stomping his feet

Way too excited about it

Jataro Kemuri

Just watching, curious and fascinated 

"Oh boy... They must've really made (Name) mad, huh?"

He's more focused on the fire than what you're using the fire on

Kototo Utsugi

Watching the show with a smile

"Hehe~ Isn't (Name) just so adorbs? Chasing the demons away because they care about us..."

She's just having a good time

Nagisa Shingetsu 

Watching with vengeful eyes and nodding

"Yes... Do it, (Name). All demons must perish."

He's just glad some demons are being punished

Monaca Towa

Watching with a satisfied grin

"Good job, (Name). You really are the perfect tool for my plans..."

She's imagining your fire burning every adult in Towa City alive

Taking out those teenagers are the first step to continuing Junko's legacy...

you love bugs don’t you

yess thank you she one of my favorite as well

Why Tenko Chabashira is a Great Character pt. 1: Tenko’s Backstory and PersonalityA

Another essay excerpt because that did better than I expected last time and I'm suprised people actually want to read my stuff.

Tenko Chabashira is an over-hated character in the fandom with people before the game even came out criticizing her and hoping that she died.

Now this is not everyone’s opinion.

I've seen many people praise Tenko, but it’s a widely accepted opinion that she sucks, ranking near the bottom on a lot of people’s tier lists and having people post on every social media platform how much they hate her.

I love Tenko.

She is my favorite character in NDRV3 and right now my favorite character of all time.

With the game already in its eight anniversary I thought, what a better time than ever to fulfill my civic duty as a Tenko fan and explain why she is a great character and doesn’t deserve nearly all the hate she’s gotten.

Backstory

One of the main reasons people hate Tenko is her hatred of men.

I would like to lessen this to dislike because Tenko shows multiple times in the game that she does not hate men and there are also reasons behind her sentiments.

Tenko took her master's teachings very seriously; he was like a father figure to her (which makes sense especially since her parents abandoned her), and she was adamant about mastering neo-aikido.

Tenko is also really gullible.

It's why she believes Himiko can do real magic, so she would believe her master wholeheartedly when he tells her that interactions with men would weaken her.

It's similar to a child being told by their parents that if they are good Santa will give them gifts.

Another factor contributing to Tenko’s dislike of men would be her crime fighting which not only adds to her childlike nature but gives more of a reason to her so-called “man-hating.”

In one of Tenko’s ftes with Shuichi, she says:

“As practitioners of Neo-Aikido, Master and I… are also heroes of justice! Master and I wear masks to disguise ourselves! We serve to save, whether it is day or night! We do everything! Help an old woman carry her belongings… Help a child cross the street…Oh, yeah! I caught a thief the other day! We also punish degenerates who cheat and bring divine justice to gropers on trains. And even help girls who just had tough break-ups!”

Even though those don’t seem like the best reasons to “hate” a whole gender overshadowed by being hurt by men emotionally or physically.

If you think about it, it’s not the worst reason either, Tenko was just a kid and her master filled her head with misconceptions and stereotypes about men.

(In the end, he was just trying to protect but there are many more ways to go about it.)

Of course, Tenko didn’t have to believe it, but by being exposed to bad men on the streets when she and her master were fighting crime, and not having many interactions with good men, you can start to see where she comes from.

She’s just like a kid who never grew out of the boys' cooties phase (with a little more trauma), and as a kid, she wasn’t taught that all men aren’t bad, she wasn’t shown that all men aren’t bad, and she wasn’t exposed to the idea either.

I don’t think we should blame Tenko for something really out of her control.

Children are very impressionable that's why they're easy targets (well them and elderly people).

Their frontal lobes aren't fully developed so they don't think critically plus when your a kid small and vulnerable you tend to look to your parents for safety and guidance.

Imagine yourself in Tenko’s shoes. The man who is basically a father figure to her tells her all these misconceptions about men—and that they will stop her from fully mastering Neo-Aikido, something she has dedicated years to. With her low self-esteem, she likely already believes she isn’t good enough.

(While most of her self-esteem issues seem to be tied to her physical abilities, strength could play a role in that too. )

Wouldn’t that make you dislike them?

Then when he takes her out and she sees the men doing exactly what her master told her that they would do it would not only prove that her masters teachings are true it would solidify that hatred.

Now at the beginning of this section I said that Tenko doesn’t hate men but now I’m saying she does?

I believe Tenko had bad teachings and exposure that made her man hatred reasonable.

I don't think Tenko hates the whole male species as she says she does but if you're a man who hurts women Tenko is going to hate you with a burning passion an important distinction I need to make.

Tenko’s backstory isn’t perfect I’ll admit that but based on how she interacts with men during the game and how she acts overall bad exposure and teachings are a fine reason.

Personality

She’s rather boisterous and is like a ball of energy and can be overbearing to other students especially Himiko since how she acts with other students (not just the boys) is not “normal” per se (but no one in this game is normal) many people chalk it up to her just being annoying.

Still, I would like to add something else that may be a factor in her upbringing which I know I have already discussed.

Still, Tenko grew up in a temple with priests she was sent there when she was very young (there isn’t a specific age but many suspect five to six) so we can assume that she didn’t have a lot of interaction with kids her age (especially boys) with the only time interacting with people probably being people going in the temples for religious purposes or the people she saved while fighting crime.

A person’s upbringing especially if it’s bad or not normal can influence how someone acts just take Maki Harukawa, for example, she grew up in an orphanage and was trained to be an assassin during the game when Shuichi and Kaito are fighting she makes Shuichi watch her teaching Kaito to assemble and disassemble a crossbow so that they can make up, and when Kaito is kidnapped she reverts to the only thing she knows and tries to kill Kokichi.

Or Gonta Gokuhara who was raised in the forest by wolves doing odd things like not wearing shoes, lacking general cultural knowledge, getting suddenly controlled by strong emotions and having trouble with language.

So it makes sense for Tenko to act strangely and lack strong social skills, given her isolation from kids her age when she was young.

Unlike someone who has been interacting with others their entire life, starting from kindergarten, her experiences have been limited.

Or you can just say it’s her lack of understanding social cues and she’s neurodivergent coded.

...

Tenko, while claiming she hates men, gets along fine with them and shows them support. Some of these scenes include:

Joining Kaito’s strategy meeting

Telling Shuichi not to be too hard on himself after Kaede’s death

Yelling at Kokichi when he makes fun of Shuichi without his hat

Promising to avenge Rantaro and Ryoma’s deaths

Complementing Gonta for being calm and reasonable after Kirumi accuses him

Feeling bad after flipping Shuichi over her shoulder and carrying him back to her room

Allowing Shuichi to participate in Aikido with her

Telling Shuichi he needs to gain more confidence in himself.

She is also lovely and caring, volunteering to protect all of the girls, placing herself at risk alongside Kaito and Gonta to save Kaede from her execution, and her friendship with Himiko, in which she tries to help her overcome her emotional suppression, demonstrates her compassion for others.

She is one of the most vocal characters when it comes to opposing the killing game they were imprisoned in, and she is always willing to offer assistance or emotional support.

Tenko has a wonderful personality. Her deep emotional core, supportive persona, and childlike thinking are qualities that I and many others can identify with.

These qualities, in my opinion, dampen the hatred of her "male-hating" mentality in some aspects and make her a charming character.

Tenko's development

While having many ‘annoying/ undesirable’ traits Tenko eventually does have character development.

The main one is her dislike of men. I've already discussed that this dislike doesn’t seem genuine because, since the beginning of the game, she’s been having friendly, kindhearted interactions with men but taking that out of account Tenko does develop from the beginning of the game to her death.

Tenko’s journey reveals layers of her personality, showcasing how bad experiences shape beliefs and attitudes.

And how a good experience can turn it all around for the better even if her transformation is not entirely linear and overshadowed by other major characters (Shuichi Maki and Himiko.)

In her Free Time Events (FTEs) with Shuichi, she is very mean to him.

Nicest thing she says is that he can improve himself through Neo Aikido and become a good man like her master.

However, the interactions in her FTEs specifically with Shuichi amplify her disdain for men making it seem worse than it is in the game.

Despite all this she still she moments of genuine growth realizing that not all men are as bad as the ones her master told her about and the one she saw while crime-fighting through her experiences with Shuichi and the other men in the game she slowly but surely alters her perspective, and the journey leads her to form a friendship--though some would say acquaintanceship--with Shuichi (a man 😱.)

It’s a shift for her from her initial male-hating persona as she learns to accept that not every man is as bad as she was taught to believe by her master.

I could go on but this is getting long so in Part 2 I'll delve deeper into Tenko’s character arc and development in chapter 3.

one of my favorite x reader

How about a this request. Aoi has a boyfriend that she's taken to the pool with her and he wanna swim saying he doesn't wanna get in. So Aoi plays a prank by pushing him in wanting to show him swimming is fun, thing is the reason he doesn't like it is cause he almost drowned when he was younger as a result of a bully.

Aoi ends up having to pull him out after she realizes he's panicking and funds out why he hates swimming so much, which leads to her being extremely remorseful, and she apologizes for what she did.

Later on after her boyfriend has calmed down she tells them that she gently wants to teach him how to swim so something like what happened in the past doesn't happen again and so that they have something that they can bond more over.

This ended up being more gender-neutral, hope that's alright

Warnings: Reader almost drowns, mentions of past bullying

Aoi Asahina with an S/O who Doesn't like Swimming

You two had some free time, so Aoi decided to bring you to the pool

Not for a swimming competition she was in, but just for fun

You tried to come up with excuses to avoid going, but she blew them off and grabbed your arm and pulled you along, giving you no time to resist

She was rambling on and on with a grin on her face as you walked together, completely oblivious to the anxiety on your face

The moment you were dreading couldn't have arrived sooner, and you quickly found yourself quivering on the edge of the pool

Aoi had already jumped in, joyfully swimming around and enjoying herself under the sun

Soon, she looked up at you and beckoned you to join her

"Hey (Name), come on in!"

You could only shake your head as you perched yourself next to the pool

"I don't really wanna get in, sorry. I'd rather watch you instead."

Aoi looked at you in confusion

"What's the matter? The water isn't that cold. Honestly, it feels pretty good with the sun out."

"No, that's not it. I don't-- I don't like swimming."

...Huh?

Who didn't like swimming?!

Maybe you were just afraid of water, like Toko?

But Aoi had seen you take baths before, so that couldn't be it

She figured you just haven't tried it yet, so maybe a little push out of your comfort zone would help

So she sneakily climbed out of the pool and tiptoed behind you, then placed her hands on your shoulders and pushed you into the water

"Hehehe! You shoulda seen the look on your face! Don't worry, it's just part of the fu-uun...?"

Her giggling immediately came to a stop when you started panicking, scrambling to raise your head above the water level as you coughed out small puddles of water with tears flowing out of your eyes

Aoi had a short moment of panic herself before immediately taking your hands and helping you out, ignoring everyone staring at the two of you as she guided you inside

She got a towel and wrapped it around your shoulders as you sat down on a bench, giving you a worried look as she moved her hands towards your shoulders to help you calm down

But you immediately flinched away from her before she could touch you, and she quickly stepped back as she waited for you to regain control of your breathing

Once you calmed down, Aoi asked you what caused you to react that way

And you explained that when you were younger, a bully held you underwater in an attempt to drown you, and you turned your back on swimming ever since

Aoi just stared at you in shock as she took this in, and she felt horrible for playing that stupid joke on you before

After making sure she had permission, she approached you and gently pulled you into her chest, giving you a sincere, gentle apology for her actions

She swore never to do it again and agreed to go back home

But later in the evening, Aoi approached you again and offered to help you face your fears

"Look, I know you had a bad experience with it, but what if I taught you how to swim? It won't be scary this time, don't worry. But it's good to be prepared in case it did happen again, y'know? Besides, it'd give us something else to do together!"

You were hesitant, but agreed

A few days after that, Aoi brought you to the indoor pool in Hope's Peak, when she knew that you would be alone

Not having a lifeguard around had you on edge, but Aoi assured you that she wouldn't let anything happen to you

The first day was really just spent convincing you to get into the water, but progress is progress

She made sure to hold your hand and soothe you whenever you got anxious, though

After that, she taught you how to float in the water, and then got started on the actual swimming lessons

Aoi was patient, and she didn't mind that it took a while, or that you were too anxious to continue sometimes

She was just proud that you were willing to learn

And eventually, it would all be worth it
