Danganronpa rant #1
Yes everyone, you read that right! I'm branching out into my other interests! Keeping this blog as only Bnha would cause me to become uninterested very easily and my hyperfixations fluctuate between bnha and danganronpa a lot so these are the two you'll be seeing the most! With that stated lets get into todays rant!
ps if you follow the account drv3confessions you'll have already seen this rant as I sent it in as a confession!
Herse my in-depth analysis on why Art is Dead by Bo Burnham is the best song to describe Nagito. I’ll start off with the part of the song that goes on about how Bo (from this point on referred to as Nagito) shouldn’t be praised and that he isn’t perfect and should be corrected.
This is a fantastic example of how Nagito constantly degrades himself and talks about how the others should use him and treat him as badly as he talks about himself. Then there's the part right after the section talking about a kid whos loud and outgoing, the ‘I must be psychotic, I must be demented, To think that I'm worthy, Of all this attention…’ part. That is also a very good example of how Nagito thinks and has been told his whole life that he isn’t worth attention (positive or negative).
It also shows that he feels the attention that he does get, he feels is too much and that he doesn’t deserve it. Right near the end of the song there's a section that goes ‘A self-centered artist, Self-obsessed artist’ and I think that also really plays into the whole self degradation thing Nagito has going on. I think that if he ever (he probably has but it was really backhanded, at the time of writing this I’m very tired so there are probably some inconsistencies) made a positive comments about himself he’d follow it up with something like ‘how self-centered of me to think such a thing’.
I also wanna touch back on the ‘I must be psychotic, I must be demented, To think that I'm worthy, Of all this attention’ line. This line to me really sells the whole ‘this song screams Nagito’ thing. Mainly because this is how he thinks, he thinks he doesn’t deserve attention and when he does get it he feels selfish and insane (not the best terminology but I can’t think of another way to word it).
Finally going back to the start of the song where it talks about a kids birthday party. I feel like that represents how Nagito thinks about himself, one of the lines (‘That every day, Can't be about him, There's other people, You selfish ass hole) really describes how Nagito thinks about himself. As a final point I would like to say that he overall tone of the song is very reminiscent of how Nagito speaks and behaves in the game.
TLDR: 'Art is dead' By Bo Burnham is an excellent song to represent Nagito and his character :)
Nagito cuddling headcanons
~Post type: Headcanons~
Author’s Note: My computer has been acting up lately, and we’re moving soon so apologies if my posts get shorter or I go on a short hiatus for a bit. Please enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At first he wants to cuddle you, but he’s afraid that you wouldn’t want him touching you, or that you didn’t like him anymore.
So he slept facing you, with about a foot of space between the two of you.
But when you convince him that you do actually want to cuddle, he will be pressed, as tightly as he can, against you
He might even put his feet underneath yours, because they’re cold
Or he’d have you lay on top of him, as another ‘blanket’
No matter how you two lay, he always wants your hand in his, if possible. Just to remind him that you’re there
And so he can feel if you’ve woken up, depending on the position.
He wants to be able to protect you in case anything happens, so he tries to lay closest to the door, “in case someone breaks in”.
However, that usually means that he’s the little spoon.
He enjoys feeling protected and loved by you though, so that’s not an issue for him, as long as you’re okay with it
If you move a lot, he’ll hug you tightly, and try to soothe you back to peaceful sleep.
And he’d know if you moved, because he’s a very light sleeper.
He usually wakes up before you do, or tries to, so he can make you breakfast.
But while you eat, he sits beside you, with his head on your shoulder; to make up for the cuddles he ‘missed out on’ while he was cooking.
During the day, if you two have down time, he’d suggest cuddling on the couch while watching something, or listening to music.
Akane/Kiyotaka/Kazuichi reacting to an overprotective s/o
~Post type: Headcanons~
Author Note’s: I’m so sorry this took so long, and the boys’ are shorter but I can add more to it if you guys want! Please enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane:
Akane has a habit of getting herself into trouble. Whether that be using her fists to get through to someone, or letting people use her body for personal gain. Along with her background, which just furthers your fears, because she doesn’t think twice about those things
That’s why you want to make sure to protect her when you can. Maybe a little too much, however.
Akane is stubborn, and tries to use her “gut feelings” as an excuse that she’ll be okay so you don’t have to worry about her.
Even though her gut is never wrong, you still worry that something will happen. Because of this, when she goes out, you make sure to remind her to text you when she gets there.
Or just ask to go with her, if you can. But you try not to impose. You definitely have to bribe her, with food, to not go to certain places.
Especially her old neighborhood.
You try to have her stay away from there as much as you can, and go with her when she visits family.
Which doesn’t happen often, but you don’t trust it from what she tells you about it, so you’re extra cautious.
You definitely make her carry pepper spray, even though she knows how to fight.
“You can never be too careful” You tell her constantly.
She just rolls her eyes, but complies.
She doesn’t mind too much, most of the time, because she knows you love and care about her. Though she does still try to sway you to be more trusting sometimes, because she knows how to handle herself.
Kiyotaka:
Taka is definitely overprotective as well, and completely understands the feeling of wanting to keep his s/o safe.
Even if you didn’t ask him to text/call you often, to make sure you know where he is and that he’s safe, he’d do it anyway
And he asks that you do the same
Life 360 is downloaded on both of your phones, and you both check constantly when you’re not together.
He never really gets into any trouble because he knows how to stand his ground, though you still worry for him.
Before he goes anywhere, you make sure to ask him how long he thinks he’ll be out, and to text or call you if the estimated time changes, so you know if he’s safe or not while he’s out.
Just because you don’t want him to go missing even though, again, it’s unlikely.
All-in-all, he understands why you ask him to do these things, and won’t hesitate to do as you ask.
Partly because he believes it’s the ‘rules’ of the relationship, but also because he’d do the same, if he felt wary at all.
Kazuichi:
Kazuichi never really had anyone care about his safety as much as you do, so he doesn’t understand why, exactly, you’re so protective.
The first time you tell him all the things you’d like him to do if he plans on going anywhere, he thinks you’re joking.
He texts you “heading out lmao” as a joke, half-thinking that you’d been joking. But when you respond “Okay, where are you going? Do you know how long you’ll be out? Is anyone going with you?”
He understood, actually answered the question and was more careful than he probably would’ve been.
But he does what you suggest, when he remembers.
Don’t get me wrong, he doesn't have a horrible memory, but when it comes to safety, he either already carries a knife with him or just doesn’t think about it at all.
Like, some days, he’ll bring his favorite handmade knife, and other days he’d just leave without thinking twice about it.
But you try to remind him anyway.
You want him to call or text you when he gets places, and make sure you know when/where he’s going at all times.
But he also sometimes forgets to tell you he’s going out, especially if you’re at work or school. He just doesn’t want to bother you, even though you asked him to.
If you get upset by him forgetting to tell you, he’d apologize and try to remind himself to tell you again next time.
Here's a Nagito drawing again! I was feeling sad so I drew him to help :>

Why SDR2 is the best Danganronpa Game
If you’re a Danganronpa fan you probably have personal favorites whether it be characters, class trails or the topic of this essay favorite games. Despite all of the games having the same formula they still have a distinct identity from each other which is commendable but alas that’s not what we will discuss. In this essay I will explain why Danganronpa 2:Goodbye Despair is the best Danganronpa game.
Let me discuss the setting of the game Jabberwock Island. Immediately the tropical island serves as a stark contrast to the two schools of the trilogy. This isn’t just for show either while the schools are claustrophobic Jabberwock Island feels like an open space which makes the world more fun to move around in. Speaking of contrast in Danganronpa 2 each island does a good job of feeling distinct from one and another. When you get more floors to the school in the other game you do find interesting things. I especially like V3’s Talent Development Labs compared to the islands of SDR2 it’s no contest. The other games take place in a school and thus are limited to things that would logically be in a school were as you’re allowed much more freedom with the islands. From the bright and colorful amusement park of island four to the futuristic setting of island five there is no doubt that SDR2 has the most creative and diverse setting of any of the Danganronpa games.
Another thing that SDR2 executes well is feeling like a true expansion of the themes of DR1.Unlike V3 SDR2 plot is directly affected by the plot of DR1 without feeling like a rehash which can be difficult to pull off. I think the virtual world is an interesting concept that is executed quite well. Let’s use Chiaki as an example: the twist of her being an AI is foreshadowed with her direct similarities with Chihiro and Alter Ego. While not being overly obvious if you take a look at their designs they do share a lot in common. There designs both include a white button up shirt,similar bowties, an overcoat, a skirt with black stockings, along with similar shoes and haircuts. Once you spell it all out the design parallels become pretty obvious but they also share similar personality traits Chihiro they both share a love of gaming even though Chihiro isn’t as explicit about it. They also have a very sweet and well meaning personality along with a certain degree of intelligence which in Chiaki’s case is very analytical in nature which reflects her nature as an AI. There’s also some information in her free time events that foreshadows her nature as an AI which furthers her alter ego parallels. During one of her free time events she didn’t know that cows made milk which is basic human information and in a later free time event the only genre of games she’s bad at is dating sims which directly involves human connection as it’s primary gameplay mechanic.
That’s enough about Chiaki for now let’s discuss another character that uses parallels to another character that uses character parallels to great effect Nagito Komeda. The Makoto parallels are pretty obvious but let's still go over them starting with his design and also the fact that Nagito Komeada is an anagram of Makoto Naegi. Both characters wear a hoodie,have a similar haircut including the patented anime protagonist ahoge and his generally unremarkable design makes the Makoto comparisons clear. Were the parallel really shine however is in personality. During the early game the Makoto parallels are effective are used to create a false sense of security. During the early game he spends a lot of time helping you out and general doesn't come off as a bad person even if he does come across as a bit odd. This makes him an effective wolf in sheep's clothing. Even after revealing his true nature the Makoto parallels only grow stronger. Let’s take a look at both of their talents and how they operate in the narrative. Despite having the same title of The Ultimate Lucky Student there talents operate very differently. Makoto’s luck while powerful in it’s own way primary is used to keep him alive with conscience that make sense due to his talent. On the flip side Komeada’s luck is truly supernatural and he relise on it for his plans to work like when he used the random raffle to get himself on cleaning duty. Even though his luck is powerful it does come at a price. During his free time events he is revealed to have a cycle of luck where bad luck is preceded by good luck and vice versa As an example Komeda has said that he was kidnapped and then immediately found a lottery ticket that was worth ten million dollars Komeda’s luck serves as a powerful force of nature that is even beyond his control which is a real interesting subversion of Makoto’s luck. Another parallel is Makoto’s humility versus Komeada’s self deprecation. They both stem from the fact that they don’t see themselves as having worthwhile talents. Makoto sees himself as mundane compared to the exceptional people at Hope’s Peak Academy but he learns to overcome that insecurity and recognize his own value. Komeada on the hand sees himself as inherently worthless because of his lackluster talent and is willing to sacrifice his own life for the sake of the other ultimates Despite him seeing himself as worthless that couldn’t be further from the truth in fact he’s one of the most intelligent characters in the series but he refuses to acknowledge himself because of the way he see himself as worthless. Another thing the two characters have in common is the desire for hope but there methods are very different. Komeada like the founders of Hope's Peak sees ultimates as the embodiments of hope and he wishes to sacrifice himself for them and is willing to become the adversity they overcome and is willing to kill just so that he can become an obstacle that hope overthrows. Makoto is comparatively simpler in this regard and only becomes a symbol of hope because of his undying optimism and becomes known as the Ultimate Hope because of the adversity he faced and his ability to inspire Komeda also tried to become the Ultimate Hope by killing all remnants of despair including himself. This is a somewhat sound motivation however it ignores to hope of recovery and the ability to create their future. Speaking of hope for the future, let's talk about SDR2’s ending because it does a good job of thematically tying into Trigger Happy Havoc. It’s revealed that the world is a virtual world created by a The Future Foundation which was created by the survivors of DR1. The purpose of this world was to reform the sixteen students from the game which were revealed to be remnants of despair. This explains the nature of Monomi and the seeming peaceful beginning of the game however this turns into a killing game because of AI Junko. Let’s address the most common complaint about this finale which is that Junko was overused and this game should have had a new mastermind which is a fair complaint however if you consider the fact that SDR2 was created as a direct continuation of DR1 it works thematically for Junko to be the mastermind and it was a satisfying conclusion to finally kill Junko excluding the anime because the anime doesn't deserve rights. The Future Foundation also helps continue the story of DR1 due to the fact that we get to see these characters again in a way that furthers the plot. The new finales use’s characters from the previous game however it adds a different theme that feels natural with the theme of being able to change the future regardless of the past. This isn’t something that the survivors of the first game had to deal with because of the SDR2 survivors' unique situation of being remnants of despair. This while different is still a fundamentally optimistic theme so it feels thematically consistent with the themes of hope and despair from the first game
As I hope I’ve made clear that due to the thematic parallels of DR1,SDR2 is a true sequel that expands on the thematic elements of the first and becomes something greater than its predecessors.
One time one of my online friends referred to Ibuki as Twilight Sparkle with complete sincerity and I hate the fact that she is absolutely ritgh.
