your post about fanon vs canon pregame v3 characters has me curious, what are your thoughts on pregame shuichi and how he's perceived by the fandom? u mentioned u wanted to talk about him but didn't and now i rlly wanna know what u think hehe
Spoilers for V3 (again (just in case for anyone else lol))
I personally dislike how aggressive they make his love of Danganronpa in fanon. And from one pov I can kinda see it with him being like “I’ll plot the most gruesome murders” or something like that in the audition tape. But honestly he just kinda seems like… a guy? He’s a guy who really likes this show (that he’s somewhat grown up in his teens with probably if he’s been watching for years) and would do anything to be in it.
As I said in the other post, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s exaggerating so that they pick him (although his video seems more genuine in how big a fan he is so I feel like that’s just him in geek mode instead of exaggeration). He’s also just not as creepily obsessed as people portray. He’s not frothing at the mouth at the mention of it or even at the fact he’s auditioning. He’s not acting (for lack of a better word) lewd about it (I’ve seen people characterize that along with the obsession).
He’s just… a teenager who really likes this show. He’s watched it for years and has a chance to be on it! Sure, people die, but if it’s still on air it can’t be that bad!
Also in the prologue he acts very similar to the Shuichi we know (nervous, anxious, but still level headed enough to help lead Kaede away from an exisal). We even see that nervousness in the audition where he’s like “I wanna be a detective but it’s ok if I’m not I just really wanna be on this show” (paraphrase).
That’s not to say his fanon pregame self can’t be written well! I’ve read a fic where they tackled the idea of Shuichi after the game having to grapple with who he was, who he is now, and what he’s becoming going back into what he assumed were old danganronpa obsessed habits (it’s a rlly good fic with an unreliable narrator to boot!), I just think it’s overdone considering what we actually have to work with in game.
TL;DR While he definitely rlly liked danganronpa and was probably hyperfixating HARD (lol), it’s nowhere near as bad as fanon makes it out to be (imo).
(I felt like putting this here because it’s funny to me (and also shows that he isn’t a weird guy who wants to kill whoever he sees) LOL)
Miu: Let’s see your tits bitch! (rips off your shirt and expose your tits)
Angie: (gropes your privates and fingers you) You have nice body. I’ll give you all the love.
Yeah anonymous asks are off now, Wanna try and scare me be up front :P
This is the post that "warrented" this response
So people still like Kaede and ship Saimatsu/Shiromatsu after this..?
Also saying "Tsumugi wrote her to do that" isn't an excuse and is victim blaming. Also blaming the writers themselves isn't valid either because this is ALL SHE DOES the whole chapter, Every single female character(Plus Shuichi) she treats like literal garbage and then just kinda laughs in their face about it
I don't care if you like her but for God's sake admit she's a horrible fucking person
Shuichi and Maki have canonically read the (Christian) Bible and might be some of the only characters to in V3
The trope of a character(Usually Kokichi or Shuichi) "taking down" the Holy Salivation Society and "saving" Maki from it, Is wishful thinking, But canonically impossible Maki has directly said that even if the HHS disbands, She'd just get lofted into another assassin agency. And if she ran away she'd most definitely be killed, And even if she could live after escaping, Maki wouldn't try. Maki's whole reason for being an assassin is to make sure no kid at the orphanage has to replace her and go through the gruesome training she had to Like, I wish Maki didn't have to deal with this shit as much as the next but it's quite literally impossible unless you change her whole backstory to have her never become one in the first place
Can someone actually tell me how Shuichi and Kaito would realistically get together...
Do not twist my words, Saimota is one of my top favorite ships
But like,,, Kaito is kinda oblivious to any hints or even anything direct about love and so is Shuichi(Like he was given a box of chocolates and thought it was platonic...Come on...)
How in God's green earth are these two getting together
Is it just my game or does everyone else's have specifically Kokichi call Shuichi; "Kaede" during chapters after the first?
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST DIOLOUGE IN CHAPTER 4
Maki is trying to be a good friend after so many years of having no experience☹️☹️
I love her so much, She's literally the best
I'm bored in school so here's my take on a few pregame characters
I have everyone's personality, backstory, and motivation for joining the killing game all though out
But here are just my personal favorites(Shuichi, Kaito, Maki, and Kokichi)
Shuichi - Not a yandere or anything, Literally just acts like your average teenager. He was either in choir or cooking club(Maybe both) and wasn't actually too crazy about being a detective and only asked for that specific talent because of the cool possibilities of his execution. He didn't really have anything going for him in life and he loved Danganronpa anyway, So he wanted to be apart of it. He was acting like a crazed maniac in his audition tape to make sure he got in. His parents are much more average than the screen-writer and actors they are in-game but they still neglected him a lot
Kaito - Basically the same as his in-game counterpart with him just acting a bit different because he doesn't have the pressure that being an ultimate comes with. He still dragged Shuichi and Maki off to be his friend(Though for different reasons). He also plays an exaggerated version of himself in his audition tape to higher his chances of getting picked, But he did still join for fame and fortune. He doesn't have a father but still has a mother with Kokichi as his younger brother(I explain why this would be changed for in-game in Kokichi's segment)
Maki - Again, Also the same as in-game just without the "Do you wanna die?" threats. I can see her actually going through the backstory that was written for her, Only differing thing is the fact she escaped from the Holy Salivation Society after her friend died. Her motivation for auditioning was to die(And protect her only friends if they got in too). She really didn't want to be the ultimate assassin and most likely auditioned for something totally different, It was only assigned to her because of her backstory being less work to change
Kokichi - Not a fucking "uwu soft bean", He's literally just as chaotic as he is in-game(Just less y'know,,, Murdering people). Didn't originally plan to get the main antagonist role but was ecstatic when he found out he got it, And because he's the antagonist they had to change both his and Kaito's backstories(Because if Kaito remembered growing up with him, It would ruin Kokichi's antagonist role. Cause he could tell certain things he was lying about and fuck up his plans) he probably joined for the hell of it and maybe to try and help Kaito survive. He's also in student government and yearbook, Nobody knows how he got into either of them(He doesn't even really know)
And yeah, That's my take on some pregames
(Few Danganronpa V3 facts about the character's appearances)
Rantaro is blonde
Miu doesn't wear make-up and her goggles keep her hairstyle in place
The second to last of the big buttons on Kiibo's torso is his self destruct button
Maki dresses in black and red to hide bloodstains
Tenko's ruffles are to attract women
Korekiyo wears his bandages to prevent himself from touching bad textures
(Alot of people know this but it deserves a mention) Shuichi wore his hat to use it to avoid eye-contact with people
In honor of Halloween, Might I suggest the training trio as the Nightmare Before Christmas trick or treaters
Maki as Shock(The witch)
Shuichi as Barrel(The skeleton)
And Kaito as Lock(The devil)
Texan Shuichi.
He's still Japanese but grew up in Texas and moved back to Japan when he was like 13/14 so he has an accent he just desperately tries to hide
It slips when he gets like really pissed off or when he's tired as hell
Shuichi is the type of person to be allergic to basically everything
Like he'd be allergic to eggs, Peanuts, Most bugs, Cats, Gluten, Possibly more
And Kokichi would bully the life out of him about his allergies
