HOW LIKE HOW

So spoilers for DRV3 under the cut AJWJDKDK

Why is it that when people make pregame content they forget about how they acted in the prologue? Like obviously if you wanna write them like that go ahead but it confuses me on how that’s the MAJORITY. I think it stems from the audition tapes at the end of the game but that’s always seemed strange to me.

Like I’ve seen most people write pregame Kaito as an absolute dick who would beat up people regularly (basically a bully), but we don’t really see that in the prologue. In the prologue, we don’t get much sure, but from what we do see, he’s not acting brash or rude at all. If I remember right, he even sounds worried (or is at the very least still panicked about the situation) when he questions if Kaede and Shuichi were chased by “that monster” (exisals). Sure, we don’t really know his thoughts for that line but you don’t really say that if you care for nobody but yourself (in my opinion at least).

(I REMEMBERED RIGHT LETS GOOO)

This isn’t even mentioning Kokichi, who acts so different from fanon pregame like what. Pregame Kokichi is usually characterized as a whiny teen who can’t handle confrontation and is an extreme introvert. But one of his few lines in the prologue is him volunteering to go back out (where they all just ran for their lives) to see what’s happening before getting shut down for his safety. And he doesn’t say it scared either, he says it pretty calmly (not saying he’s calm but he’s clearly not panicking nearly as bad as people portray him).

(I know his name (and Kaito’s earlier) is question marks but it is his voice when he says it please believe me lol)

Honestly, it kinda bums me out that not a lot of people take the prologue into account! Sure, Kaito’s audition tape makes him look like a violence hungry jerk; however, it wouldn’t surprise me if he (and everyone else) was just exaggerating to try and get picked. If you liked a show, and you want to be in it, you wouldn’t say “yeah I find this show cool, killing looks okay on screen but I think it could be fun.” You wouldn’t get picked (or at least have a lower possibility). They probably acted more like what they thought Team Danganronpa would want for their show.

Anyways, sorry for how long that was (especially considering I don’t make posts like this ever???) but I was replaying V3 earlier and it just occurred to me. Like even Kaede is meaner than Kaito in the prologue (she tells Shuichi to shut up when he starts panicking lmao (she apologizes later tho)). That’s not even mentioning Shuichi but this is already long and probably full of punctuation errors lol. Sorry if it got incoherent at all. I’m very tired.

TL;DR Fanon pregame DRV3 doesn’t usually take into account how the character acted in the prologue and it bothers me.

(Again, if you like to characterize them that way, that’s fine. Everyone has headcanons and such. I’m just expressing some of my thoughts :D)

What if Kokichi loved Maki but Maki still loved Kaito

I'll never be outdone! Cause I'm the oldest son!

The brothers ever guys!!(This isn't ship art)

Little fun fact

In the Manga—Kaito, Angie, And Kokichi can all be seen with instruments made by Miu

Kaito has a guitar without enough strings to play it, Angie has maracas, Kokichi had a tambourine and microphone

And Ryoma gets handed it briefly but doesn't actually sing

It was like my favorite part of the Manga so I wanted to share that

Kaito is so fucking tragic and I hate how people completely ignore he's more than just a support to Shuichi

Like Kaito's problems are never brought to the surface but in like very few short instances which make it worse because the fact his problem is hiding his feelings from people to make them all feel like he's the perfect person to look up to

He's scared of being vulnerable with people because he thinks that will lessen their view on him(Exactly why he hides his illness), The need he feels to pick everyone up and always give them someone perfect to look up to, His implied internalized homophobia(The way I read it at least)

LIKE GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK💔💔💔

"Be my hands forever stained. By a thousand smears"

"Full of blood and tears..."

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

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

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)

"We've met several times before. Each time we were a little different, But we always became friends..Maybe we were more"

Kaimaki has been eating at my brain recently and this idea is part of it.

Spoilers

So if you're still reading I'd assume you're familiar with Danganronpa and how in it; Kaito brought Maki to train with him and Shuichi because he seen her more than just an assassin

I like to think that stretched beyond just in the killing game

Pregame; I imagine Maki was distant for a similar reason(In my head pregame backstories are nearly the same as in-game, Only one or two things are added or exaggerated to make them the Ultimates), And Kaito dragged her along to hang out and they became good friends. When Kaito auditioned to be on Danganronpa, Maki hardly had anyone else so she joined with him too; Mostly to try and protect him, But more for other reasons that don't lay important to mention right now

In the killing game(As I mentioned before) he did the same thing, Annoying her until she finally gave in and hung out with him. Becoming friends and Maki even developing feelings despite being in such a dangerous circumstance

In Danganronpa Summer Camp/Ultimate Talent Development plan(Though not canon, Deserves an honorary mention). They meet under different circumstances and Kaito seems to have done the same thing once again and dragged Maki along to training. Eventually becoming such good friends that Maki tells him she's the Ultimate Assassin. Even in such a contrast to the killing game where it would change how they talk to and act around each other they still became friends

This probably makes no goddamn sense but basically what I mean is; I'm hooked on the idea of them meeting in completely different settings with personalities that slightly or drastically differ, Yet they still always become friends

Like soulmates who date throughout every reincarnation

Kokichi and Kaito are brothers and it was erased from their memories for the killing game because if Kaito remembered growing up with Kokichi; Kokichi's antagonist role wouldn't work well

Shhh I'm correct and you god damn well know it

Kaito Momota is a mama's boy

Shuichi Saihara is a mama's boy

Ryoma Hoshi is most likely a mama's boy

Kokichi Ouma is a mama's boy

Kiibo would be a mama's boy if he had a mom

Gonta Gokuhara is a mama's boy

They're all fucking mama's boys
