I Imagined This Little Backstory For Her Where Her First Encounter With An Alternate Doppelganger Was

Also imagine the trio ending up in the grand meetup of the other Komas and their ship clubs. And because he's a protagonist in his verse, and has so much ship teasing going on with like a quarter of the cast, Protag!Nagito has doppelgangers on all sides insisting that he join their club.

Matsukoma Nagito: "You're not one of those Mikan-loving Komaedas, are you? There's only one truly worthwhile medical partner. Even if he's dead in your verse, Yasuke is irreplaceable."

Protag!Nagito: "Now wait just a minute! I'll have you know that Mikan is a lovely person, and a very dear-"

Komamiki Nagito: "ONE OF US! HE'S ONE OF US!"

Protag!Nagito: "Wait, wait! I didn't say that-"

Matsukoma Nagito: "You didn't say that you weren't either. Well?"

Protag!Nagito: "I...But..."

Roulette Nagito: "Hold the phone! We saw footage of that hotbaths scene with Gudham. You seemed to be quite enjoying yourself there."

Protag!Nagito: "I was just really happy to be included as one of the guys!"

Soumaeda Nagito: "Kaz was there too!"

Roulette Nagito: "...What if he's in a poly relationship with Gundham AND Kaz?"

Soumaeda Nagito: "Ooh! I don't think we've had that combo yet. Or maybe with Gundham, Kaz, AND Sonia. He seems to get along very well with her too."

Protag!Nagito: "What?! No, you've got it all...I mean..."

Komazumi Nagito: "Oh come on. We've seen you've had some cute bonding moments with Mahiru. No one can smile quite the way she does. And those freckles!"

Protag!Nagito: "Mahiru...is important to me. But this is all so very sudden!"

Komanami Nagito: "NO! Stay loyal to Chiaki to the very end! Even if it means waiting until the next life!"

Protag!Nagito: "Aargh! Leave me alone!"

All the while main Nagito and Nagiko are just laughing in the background eating popcorn. Just to be clear I treat main Nagito and Protag!Nagito's OTP as "Insert preferred ship here". It could be Komahina. Or it could be something as wild as a resurrected cyborg Yasuke for the Matsukoma diehards.

I do also have this one idea I've mused about for Nagiko's flings. Generally speaking she actually doesn't hold the many Kamukuras of the multiverse in high regard. Feeling that the novelty wears off fast, as once you've met one Kamukura, you've met most of them. Channeling Stillwell from the comic The Boys and thinking like "What have you thought of to do that the lowest speck of humanity couldn't, were they to be granted your level of power?". Being especially unimpressed by the ones that try to assuage their boredom by joining Junko or doing something else she considers equally dull and unproductive.

But there are exceptions to that. Like one Natsumizuru that she took a fondness to. Who had a bit more of a spark in her than a lot of other Kamukuras did, and channeled her talents in more productive ways to stave off boredom. I have this one mental image of Nagiko trolling main Fuyuhiko by not-so-subtly implying she had a thing going on with an alternate superhuman version of his sister. Being all like "Man she was rough, if I didn't have a reinforced skeleton that girl would have demolished my spine."

Komas unite for real HAHAHA, EXACTLY like, the protagonist always gets the best ships in this franchise!! I can't even pick a favorite Saihara ship- I have like 4 favorites?!?!

That new art piece reminded me. I think the fandom sleeps on potentially interesting relationships that could be explored between Nagito and Natsumi or Nagito and Sato. Like I've seen a couple of interesting fics where he feels more drawn to the former than other Reserve Course students. Seeing her as a potential "diamond-in-the-rough" that he believes might be Ultimate quality, and thinking she should replace him. And also because he feels Class 77 would be all the more stronger for a Kuzuryuu sibling team. Meanwhile with Sato, their mindsets are eerily similar to each other. I've seen one interesting AU where they have a kind of sibling dynamic after getting roped into a talent-worshipping cult.

EXACTLY!! like we could've gotten some interesting dynamics, ooooh that fic sounds amazing though!!<33 I could definitely imagine him thinking they have potential talent and like "Wait this reserve actually seems talented??" :0 or something hehe, YASS THEY ARE THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS- SATO AND NAGITO HAVE SIMILAR MINDSETS, I kept thinking of the parallels during my watch, SIBLING DYNAMIC THATS SO COOL LIKE WE WERE ROBBED OF THEIR INTERACTIONS, Talent worshipping cult OMG

Lesbians are so cool, I wish they were real 💋💋

Last ask, and this is a wee bit indulgent. But would you ever feel in the mood to draw stuff like those Nagito rarepairs/polyships or platonic friendships the fandom sleeps on? Lots of fun potential with Natsumi and Sato. Him and Fuyuhiko can be very cute, and I love this one headcanon where Nagito's imaginary Fuyuhiko is noticeably taller than the real thing. Nagito and Mahiru can also be very cute (he just vibes well with tsunderes in general), and I like to imagine there'd be a lot of mutual affectionate caretaking. I think he also has a fair bit of potential with Imposter too.

I'd love too!! He deserves having some friendships like him and Ibuki (something I'm working on hehe) and polyships/rarepairs!! They deserve more appreciation and multishipper me is going to give him that, ahh he and imposter would be so cute too, personally kmhn/tpg is my favourite but these ships are also ADORABLE!! Him and Mahiru is also nice and you can give me an ask whenever you like anon<3 🤍🩷
