TERUTERU HANAMURA CHARACTER ANALYSIS

After weeks in his wiki, doing the equivalent of liking the now empty chocolate packaging, trying to consume every last bit of canon that I was denied by this game.

And with all that info, I wasn´t just going to keep all my especulation to myself!

So if you are (or aren´t) a Teruteru fan, I hope you have a good time with this character analysis!!

(Meme by konxhk)

ANALYSIS 

Let’s begin with his relationship with his family. First his father.

From the in-game dialogue, Teruteru never mentioned his father, in one scene that he is talking about “his tragic backstory”, instead of talking about his whole family (siblings and both parents), the chef only mentions his mother, brother and sister:

The rise of family restaurants... Constant attacks by cheap chain joints... The bullying from a rival store... A grief-stricken mother...and frightened young siblings who were born to different mothers... To stop that crisis, I ventured alone and competed in a cooking deathmatch hosted by the Shogun of Taste... ...

This is widely interpreted in the fandom as his father not being present throughout his life. Which makes sense. But I don’t think that his parents were divorced though. 

That’s because Teruteru said that he and his siblings only share the same father, and still, he talks about them very intensely. (This is the scene, in his second free time event, that he tells Hajime that his brother and sister are the Ultimate Male Escort and the Ultimate Female Escort, respectively)

Jeez...it's obvious they're just exploiting their youth to make a quick buck! So what if they make a hundred million annually or whatever...? That much money doesn't mean a thing...

That's right! Money isn't everything! You gotta think about the big picture! They think they're so great earning more money than me!

I don't know if he's worried about them or just jealous of them... It's difficult to tell.

I think that if someone has siblings,  but has never interacted with them, or doesn’t know who they are, and only that they’re related, one is not going to care about them… This leads me to believe, not only, that Teruteru knew his siblings in person, but was close to them and possibly lived with them!

This sibling situation is related to the father because, again, Teruteru was born to him and Mamamura, but his sister and brother were born to their father and another woman. This whole shenanigan must have happened while the father was still close enough to Mamamura that she would be willing to care for his children. 

I think that Teruteru wouldn’t be aware of this whole situation.

~~~~~~~~~~~

But I feel it’s important to keep this context in mind. Especially when talking about, none other than THE Mamamura!

Poor woman had a lot going on.

Basically she had to alternate between dying from sickness and saving the family dinner from bankruptcy, working day and night, nonstop. And mind you, most of the time she was doing both at once. So you might imagine she didn’t have much time nor energy to care for her children, the opposite happened actually, she had to be cared for: as Teruteru said before his execution, he was the one that cared for his mother every time she felt sick.

~~~~~~~~~~~

With all of that in mind, here is how I believe that Hanamura family dynamic was like:

Mamamura was responsible for caring for 3 kids and the family diner, while dealing with a life threatening disease. Because Fathermura was never at home to help, she wasn’t able to look after her children, and was barely capable of handling the diner and her condition by herself.

Enter Teruteru, not only did he help his mom when she would pass out due to her disease, and was always present to help with the diner, but, as the older brother, Teruteru was the one taking care of his younger siblings, since Mamamura couldn’t do it.

I want to come back to the siblings for a little bit: throughout the Danganronpa series, we see that every Ultimate has always had a predestination for their talent, in other words, even before formally becoming an ultimate, the students already act like experts or prodigies in their field. Do you understand how this might be a problem for the Ultimate Escorts??? If Teruteru made some unnecessary comments sometimes, imagine what those gremlins were discussing at the dinner table. Add that to the fact that Teruteru was 24/7 with those kids growing up, and it instantly makes a lot more sense why Teruteru says such crude things in such a natural way! He is just using the vocabulary he used his entire life at home, the way of speaking he is comfortable with!

~~~~~~~~~~~

However, even though he says inappropriate stuff out of habit sometimes, that is not the only reason why he makes those comments. Teruteru acts like that because he is insecure!!! (I am NOT justifying the things he says, I’m just trying to explain the Y of things)

His insecurities:

In one of the free time dialogues, the chef tried talking about his life to Hajime. For me this dialogue line sounds like he tried to tell a dramatic story, but still based heavily on the truth, but he gave up mid way through. I think because of shame.

The rise of family restaurants... Constant attacks by cheap chain joints... The bullying from a rival store... A grief-stricken mother...and frightened young siblings who were born to different mothers... To stop that crisis, I ventured alone and competed in a cooking deathmatch hosted by the Shogun of Taste... ...

...Juuuust kidding. A dirty tale of hardship like that doesn't suit an attractive urbanite like me! You'd rather hear me talk about my splendid and glorious life as a first-rate chef, right? Right?

Teruteru also lies about being from Nishi-Azabu district in Minato, Tokyo, when he actually is from the countryside.

Teruteru hides his accent.

Teruteru hides the fact that his family’s restaurant is actually a diner. He said that it was a fancy restaurant at first, then the next time Hajime tried to talk about it, he quickly changed the  subject of the conversation.

“Ok, but how do those insecurities relate to him being a creep?” I hear you ask, dear reader. And the answer is: To call attention to himself. Let me explain:

Knowing that Teruteru doesn’t like WHO HE TRULY IS (aka, his personality + backstory), we can assume that he thinks that he isn’t enough, not enough to hold a conversation nor call attention. And how do you think he would call attention to himself????

(You don’t know how much I hate this sprite btw)

But this defense mechanism of his is extrapolated even more, if we pay attention. He also uses that strategy to PUSH PEOPLE AWAY. 

When he feels someone is getting too close, or that he is too exposed, Teruteru might just lie (free time event 2), or he might throw out a sex “joke” to ruin the mood (in the free time event 6, for example). He doesn’t want people to really know him because he doesn’t like who he really is.

~~~~~~~~~~~

YAY!! That’s all I’ve got for Teruteru in regards to analysis!! But dont think this is the end of this adventure! I’ve decided to split this project: one post (this post) for the analysis, and another (future post) for rewriting him in game. Then we’ll have the character development we’ve been denied in game!! Don’t worry, I already have a wip, so it won’t be too long until the next part!

Waiting for Hazbin Season 2 Memes Part 1

Decided to make a follow up to my previous post here.

With many people suggesting a Throuple I am curious what fans would prefer to see. If the show actually tried to embrace a Throuple it would have to go all in to make sure the audience would be embrace such a development. For such a complex dynamic to play out without it being seen as cheating it will have to handled very delicately. Logically this means we can only expect one to become a reality and I'm curious what fans want more.

New Danganronpa V3:『Game Start 』

That is obviously saiouma and saimota

Lol please do part 3 of that will be so much funny

Lmao here you go🤣

Platonic Warriors of Hope x Ultimate Dragon Reader Part Three

After doing some digging, you found out the names of the horrible teenage demons that hurt your precious dragon cubs.

Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa.

A talentless manga fanatic and a desperate author.

Fantastic.

It wouldn't be hard to find them; the Warriors of Hope were on a murder playdate, so you were on your own. So with your wings, you lifted your body into the stormy sky and flew around, scanning the area for two teenage demons.

And after only a short minute or two, you found them.

You summoned a fireball to your claws and launched it at the ground near them.

When the ball of fire hit the ground, the two girls let out a shriek.

"Wh-What the hell was that?!" The taller one called out.

"U-Uhm... Toko, look..." The younger one gestured toward the sky with a shaky finger. 

There you were, in all your glory.

You let out a deep snarl.

"Komaru Naegi, and Toko Fukawa," you stated, pointing at the two girls respectively. 

"Who the hell are you?" Toko demanded, pointing at you.

"My name is no business of yours. But I am the Ultimate Dragon," you said, blowing a long line of flames out of your mouth. The girls immediately moved to the side to avoid the flamethrower.

"Wh-What the hell k-kinda talent is that?!" Toko demanded, while Komaru just eyed you curiously.

"Silence, smelly author! I can smell your revolting stench from up here. Have you even heard the word 'shower' in your life?" You snarled. Now the girl was seething with anger.

The younger one, on the other hand, was fascinated.

"Woah! How do you summon fire like that? Can you change into an actual dragon? Did you go to Hope's Peak? Are there others like you? What kind of dragon are you?"

Toko facepalmed. "Jesus Christ, K-Komaru... D-Do you ever h-have a f-f-filter?"

You ignored her questions. "Doesn't matter. Point is, I suggest you two start running."

As you spoke, you coated your clawed hands in flames, staring down at the two girls in fury. They quickly got the hint and immediately turned and started running. 

Preparing yourself, you took flight once again, and chased after them from the sky, firing balls of flames from your hands.

"I'm gonna burn you both alive like the pathetic insects you are! Nobody harms my cubs and gets away with it!"

You screamed, shooting down another ball of fire.

"What are they talking about?! What cubs? And I still don't know how they can change into a dragon!" Komaru cried, with tears in her eyes.

"D-Does it matter?! They're p-probably t-talking about those b-brats we k-keep running into!" Toko responded.

You launched another flame at the older girl, which ended up hitting the ends of her long hair.

"SHUT UP, INSOLENT FILTH! HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY CUBS LIKE THAT?! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR REAL NOW!"

While you were rampaging, the Warriors of Hope had just gotten back from their playdate, and were standing from afar, watching the show.

Masaru Daimon

Cheering you on

"Yeah, go, (Name)! Give those demons a taste of Hell!"

Enjoying the show while fist pumping the air and stomping his feet

Way too excited about it

Jataro Kemuri

Just watching, curious and fascinated 

"Oh boy... They must've really made (Name) mad, huh?"

He's more focused on the fire than what you're using the fire on

Kototo Utsugi

Watching the show with a smile

"Hehe~ Isn't (Name) just so adorbs? Chasing the demons away because they care about us..."

She's just having a good time

Nagisa Shingetsu 

Watching with vengeful eyes and nodding

"Yes... Do it, (Name). All demons must perish."

He's just glad some demons are being punished

Monaca Towa

Watching with a satisfied grin

"Good job, (Name). You really are the perfect tool for my plans..."

She's imagining your fire burning every adult in Towa City alive

Taking out those teenagers are the first step to continuing Junko's legacy...

I realized I never paid respect to @thewildwilds Mie Kuzuryu

I was talking the other day how there's a lot of posts in the 2020 where people were very hostile to Kuzupeko shippers. Then I feel like thewildwilds kinda saved their reputation in the west with all their work. Then when they left in Feb 2022, I came in March 2022 to reap the benefits.

(I know these dates bc this was when I posted my animated ch2 and it's just funny how close they left and I came.)

Please do a part 2 of this I’m really loving this platonic request of warriors of hope please I’m want to see my children happy

Omg so do I😩They deserve better

Protective - Platonic Warriors of Hope x Ultimate Dragon Reader Part Two

By this point, you basically adopted the Warriors of Hope as your own.

They all liked you, and you would do anything for them. Given their past traumas, you would make sure no demons would cause them harm ever again.

Being part dragon, and being able to change into a dragon, people rarely give you or your adopted children any trouble.

And of course, being in a very lowly populated city in the first place, there weren't many people around.

But the few unfortunate moments where any of those horrible demons dared mess with your children?

You were not having it.

Masaru Daimon 

Given Masaru's aggressive nature, you had to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't wander into trouble

You had to keep him away from any adults roaming around, otherwise he would get violent and try to harm them

You were with him every minute, every day

But one day, Monaca needed you for something 

And Masaru couldn't come with you

You hated to leave him, but he promised to be responsible and to not harm any demons

You decided to trust him and left him alone

When you came back, you found him engaged in battle with two teenage girls

He was doing pretty well, so you just hovered above the "Killesseum" while he did his thing

Until he lost, and his robot was destroyed

You swooped in and grabbed him before the kids dragged him away

As you were flying away, he curled into your chest and started crying

He was terrified, and now that he was away from the crowd, he could finally show it

You landed on the ground and changed back, holding him while he let it all out

After a moment, he fell asleep

You carried him back to the base and laid him down on a bed

You swore that you would get revenge on the teenage demons that brought him harm

Jataro Kemuri 

After being put down and degraded by his parents, Jataro was very self conscious about his appearance

He had a tendency to make self deprecating comments and put himself down

You always did your best to comfort him, telling him that he was beautiful, and that he wasn't ugly at all, though he never took off his mask

He wasn't ready, and you respected that

You did do a good job in helping him love himself and he's grateful to you

He didn't like that you had to leave him to help Monaca

But he understood, and went to find something to do

You came back and found him fighting a couple of demons

When he lost, and the Monokuma Kids prepared to drag him away, you were ready to go

You grabbed him, but not before the kids yanked off his mask

When you landed back on ground, you were distracted

He was absolutely beautiful

You didn't know what kind of monster would tell their own child that they were ugly, but you did know that they were wrong

When Jataro realized that his mask was gone, he started to panic

But you hugged him close and told him how beautiful he was

You offered to go back and get his mask, in case he still wanted to wear it, but he declined

As you carried him back to the base, you swore that you would spend the rest of your life telling him how beautiful he was, until one day, he believed it

And that you would get back at the teenage demons for what they did

Kotoko Utsugi 

Due to her past, you were careful to not use her trigger word around her, and you made sure nobody else would

She often hid her feelings and used her acting skills to pretend nothing was wrong, which worried you

But she trusted you, and told you anything that was on her mind

You promised her that you wouldn't let anyone hurt or exploit her ever again, and she believed you

You didn't like how devoted she was to Monaca, or how Monaca treated her, so you tried to keep Kotoko away from her

But she didn't like Monaca, and told you that she wouldn't let Monaca manipulate her

Eventually, Monaca needed you for a favor and you needed to leave Kotoko

She gave you a smile and told you not to worry

You left and came back to find her in the middle of a fight

When the fight was over, you came to the battlefield and scared away the Monokuma Kids, as well as give the two teenage demons a good talking-to

Then you picked her up and carried her away before Nagisa could come

When you landed back on ground, she told you how afraid she was, and how her trigger word was used

Your heart was aching and your blood was boiling

How could someone use that word so ignorantly?

You comforted her and brought her back to the base

Nagisa checked on her, and you told him she was fine

You vowed to rain down hell upon those teenage demons when you saw them again

Nagisa Shingetsu 

As a result of his traumatic childhood, Nagisa suffered from a fear of abandonment

He didn't trust you immediately, but when he did, you were the one he trusted most

He was terrified of you leaving him, and you promised him you wouldn't

You were by his side all the time, and it made him feel better

You knew about his crush on Monaca, and it worried you

Despite the way she talked down to him and manipulated him, Nagisa truly believed she was sweet and kind at heart

You warned him, but he remained in denial

Monaca convinced you to take care of something in a nearby part of the city, so she could talk to Nagisa

You despised Monaca, and you hated the idea of leaving him alone

But he trusted Monaca, and assured you that he would be fine

Despite your reluctance, you left him and took care of the job Monaca assigned you

You came back to find Nagisa, distressed and in despair

You were horrified, knowing that Monaca was behind it

After the fight, you were quick to save Nagisa before the robot crushed him

When you landed back on ground, he started crying, telling you what happened with Monaca and how he was feeling

You held him as he cried, wanting to burn Monaca alive for what she did

When he started to calm down, you convinced him once and for all to stay away from Monaca

He was hesitant, but he knew you were right, and agreed to stay away from her

You didn't want him to go back after what happened, so you carried him to your hideout

You placed him on your bed to let him rest, and stood outside the door

You wanted so badly to get revenge on Monaca, but you knew Nagisa wouldn't want that

You weren't sure what to do, but just walked away to let Nagisa sleep

Monaca Towa

Monaca knew how protective you were of her, and used it to her advantage whenever she got the chance

She would have you take care of a demon she claimed was bothering her, gather supplies for her, do any jobs she asked you to do, etc.

You were just so easy to manipulate 

All because you wanted to keep her safe and protected after her traumatic childhood

But you were just a servant to her, a tool she wanted to use to continue Junko's legacy

She pretended to be your friend to gain your trust, and it worked

She would make up sob stories or guilt-trip you with her past to make you do what she said

Or use her wheelchair as an excuse to make you do her dirty work

She knew exactly how to make you do what you're told

Of course, you did doubt her motives and knew that what she was doing was wrong

But every time you expressed it, she would just manipulate you all over again, and you would go back to agreeing with her

And you stayed protective of her all the while

You were like Nagisa, minus the crush

You watched as she manipulated and mistreated the other Warriors of Hope, wondering how you ended up here

you love bugs don’t you
