The echo in the mirror
Yall this took fifteen hours straight..π
It's meant to represent the fact Maki constantly looks back and judges every version of herself but honestly yall can interpret it however
In order from right to left its Pregame, Ingame, Her as a child, Her in her assassin uniform(Aka just that cloak from her lab), and post game(Represented by her wearing Kaito's coat)
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
Maki and her malewife
Fun fact: Maki can't cook She directly says she doesn't know how to cook given that a chef would prepare every meal for the kids at the orphanage so Maki has never even touched a knife outside of her job Also Kiibo is actually a great cook despite not being able to taste the food
Tenko and maybe Kirumi I believe are two of Rantaro's lost sisters
Going to drop this graph here and leave it up to debate
Don't worry about it
I think at this point Pomni needs to follow through with this
NO. FUCK THAT.
Bored in school again so I feel to share four more pregame takes
Part one(Maki, Kaito, Kokichi, Shuichi)
Now I'll be doing Kaede, Miu, Kiibo, And Rantaro
Firstly I'll note that Kaede and Rantaro go to a school together, And Kiibo and Miu go to a different one(Therefore the two duos don't really know each other)
So, Kaede Akamatsu - Acts the same and has the same backstory as in-game just was never ultimate-level at piano and didn't win all those awards. She had like a celebrity-crush on Rantaro and once he joined her school temporarily, She decided to take the chance and befriend him. Learning she could audition to be in the game with him, She hardly had anything going for her so it didn't really bother her about the possibility she could die
Rantaro Amami - Also acts basically the same just less apart and closed off cause he doesn't have the need to figure his talent out or the survivor perk telling him not to trust anyone. He obviously didn't audition and has a disliking for the killing game because how it's affected him
Miu Iruma - Theater club. She was like a goody-two-shoes, Modest, Never really cursed unless it was in the script, Honor roll. But she never really stood out, And she wanted to be more than just smart. Though not wanting to die and knowing the chance of dying in the killing game, She joined because she just wanted to be remembered in some way. Also she got a Polaroid camera from her mom she carries around everywhere, She takes a lot of photos that she usually isn't in. Photographer Miu is in my heart
Kiibo - Built just for the killing game and was planned to just be dismantled/scrapped if he survived. He hardly has much of a personality because of this, Team Danganronpa just didn't bother to give him one outside of his in-game one that he'd be given through the flashback light. Though in scenes I imagine him in, He does have similar if not the same opinions on certain things he does in-game. I always imagined him meeting Miu through coming to like every show she did on stage but never actually introducing himself till he ran into her somewhere while she was taking pictures.
I personally don't believe Legoland was pre-cyclone. I believe it is and only was post-cyclone.
Let me explain myself before you start telling me I'm wrong
Jane Doe was the one unidentified body of the cyclone disaster. She was unidentified because she lost her head and it was never found, Nor could anyone in Uranium recall her
And you might say "Oh but she just came to Uranium after her parents got arrested so nobody got used to her yet" that's where your wrong. Penny Lamb had a criminal record by 15 years of age and her brother Erza sold his medication to collage kids for money, I've never been to Canada yet but I'm sure anywhere in the world if a pair of kids that young came anywhere with a history of parents that grew weed and did and still does all that stuff? That news would spread like wildfire
And if Penny had a brother how was she unidentified if Erza could very well have went to the corner himself and outright told them she had gotten on the ride and it must be her. But again how in God's name would a card like Penny Lamb be left to a Jane Doe after all the stuff she's done back when she was 15?
Now think if Jane was originally someone else
A girl who did in-fact joined the choir late and didn't bother to talk to alot of people around Uranium because she planned to pack her things and leave as soon as she graduated
Excluding herself from any social gatherings, Any school events that aren't mandatory, only going out to get food so she can continue to live. Someone who never made friends because she didn't want to say goodbye
Someone nameless.
Think about it; With Jane originally being Penny there's a shit tone of plot holes but if Jane was someone totally different who never made herself known because she had the same goals as everyone else in the choir, It makes sense.
She'd have no friends so nobody in any of her classes could tell the corner anything, No shop workers probably didn't know more than maybe what groceries she bought every time she came, There's the possibility her parents were either out of the picture or didn't care enough to identify her; Neglectful or downright horrible parents are things that can happen in the real world and which we see with Mischa, Noel, And Ocean
And let's be honest, Ocean's parents were most likely not the ones to come claim her, It would most likely be people from St. Cassian and around Uranium considering how loud and "overpositive" she was which was most likely a huge contrast from everyone else
Constance we know had parents who ran the Blackwood CafΓ© which would make her well known among the town
Noel we know has a mom and was the only openly gay kid in a homophobic town and he was always told to dial it back so by that logic he had to have stuck out alot, Making him known
Mischa was the town's teenage fuck-up, He stole communion wine, He seemed to have caused some problems here and there which again makes him known
And Ricky was always acknowledged as some helpless boy because he was disabled which caused everyone to treat him hell-of-a-lot differently which obviously made him known and we know he had helicopter parents so-
And Jane? Well if she were Penny she would be well known enough to at least have a name to her corpse. But no Jane didn't get that, Which means she must have been someone duller, Someone more forgettable.
Someone nobody would know even existed till she was dead
Someone like the nameless person we see in at the fair with the choir.
And Karnak stated multiple times that he didn't know who Jane was and he genuinely feels guilty about having these CHILDREN die without doing anything so why would he lie when he can very well make them so much happier by telling Jane who she was, Having her remember so she has her own song to sing and not one of a nameless face
Think what you will but I highly doubt Penny was pre-cyclone with the amount of plot holes in that theory. But rather Penny is post-cyclone thus leaving the Cyclone's Jane Doe to a new story to begin but never an old story to tell.
(I suck at explaining shitπ)
You know, I think Maki actually does feel guilty about Kokichi's death.
Yes, by Ch.5 she absolutely hated him, but it was understandable. He declared himself the mastermind β person who supposedly kidnapped forced everyone to kill each other. He took Kaito β the most important person for Maki in this game β hostage. He mocked Gonta after his death. He told everyone that he enjoyed their suffering, laughing like madman. Throughout all the game, he accused and insulted Maki of being an assassin. And finally, the last straw was the fake memories that he also helped Junko start wars and cause destruction. This all led to her snapping and trying to kill him.
And Maki never enjoyed killing. She was forced to become an assassin and only stayed for the safety and wellbeing of children in the orphanage she grew up in. She really wanted to prove the group. that she could be trusted. She even told this to Kokichi after the 3rd trial.
Yes, at the end of the fifth trial she told Kaito that he shouldn't have agreed to Kokichi's plan and it would have been better for Ouma to just die. But at that moment she was desperate, hurt and scared that Kaito would be executed. Naturally she would be mad at Kokichi.
But in Chapter 6, she was the one who volunteered to search Kokichi's room to find any clues that could help end the game. If she didn't care at all, she would not offer to search there. I think part of her also wanted to find some kind of confirmation that he really was an asshole who absolutely deserved to die. Or, on the contrary, confirmation that he really did try to help them. Just anything to form her own final opinion about him.
And also that moment during the Final Trial when Tsumugi, the real Mastermind, revealed that those memories, that finally pushed her to try to kill him, weren't real. Maki sounds shocked and horrified at that. Because those memories were the reason that pushed her to try to murder him. And if they were fake, that means she did all that for nothing. She broke her unspoken promise to Kaito, and that resulted in Momota and Ouma both dying. And all of it was because of a lie.
It feels to me that she does feel guilty for both Kaito's death and Kokichi's death, because it was her actions that partially led to everything ending that way. I think no matter how she feels about Kokichi, she regrets what she did.
Part of me wants to make a fanfic of Shironaga x Red Flags, Part of me wants to make an animatic
