Someone On His Team Needs To Tell Him That His Shredded Belt Skirt Isn’t Working For Him.

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him. Remember when Nagito’s body was found? The characters wouldn’t stop talking about the stab wound and the spear. The graphic depictions of Nagito stabbing himself added to the nightmare fuel situation. Like SOMEONE did that to his body vibe. In this trial, that wasn’t discussed in a manner that resembled 2-5. Not being able to see the graphic nature of a body being crushed flat means the characters can avoid it. Again, put yourself in the situation you felt when you initially saw Kokichi’s death. Seeing his crushed body would absolutely impact your experience because it’s like DANG, WHO DID THIS?! Did he really deserve a death like that? And so on.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters. Imagine seeing the body and then going to the trial where the exisal was talking in his voice. It would be SUPER weird. LIKE I SAW HIS CRUSHED BONES AND ORGANS OUT ON THAT PRESS AND NOW IM HEARING HIS VOICE? I know for some people, not seeing the body meant that maybe both Kaito and Kokichi were alive and that they used another body to substitute a killing. After Monokuma revealed that it wasn’t possible to do so, I don’t remember anyone who acknowledged the body afterwards due to how the trial was going.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never saw Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and stick to the script that a dead boy wrote. Personally, my entire view on Kaito would drastically change more if we both saw the state of the body. Like learning that Kaito killed Kokichi in the most violent way possible. This is no stab to the neck or strangulation where a character might crack a joke (throwback to Ryoma, Miu and even Nagito). I remember thinking that their plan failed because the gang ended up figuring out their scheme and there is a viewpoint that Kokichi’s plan failed. If it did, he died for nothing and in the most violently unnecessarily way possible too.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peers. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

Anyways - I recommend reviewing 3-5 again and seeing this image somewhere during the investigation. I promise, my opinion on 3-5 drastically improved afterwards.

YESSSS!!

It’s so confusing to finish the games and see the fanfics of him, cloud and secondary characters and EVERYONE is mis-characterized because it’s written from the perspective of someone who watched ff7 crisis core with no context and had to rely on typical anime tropes to somewhat understand it. If the writer doesn’t even know what Jenova is, it hurts the story. Also like who is your target audience boo? Other people who have not played the games and only understand the characters through fanart?

Yall I love all of you Sephiroth girlies but I have a big favour to ask yall.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAMES. Dont just watch only watch the 40 minute Sephiroth cutscene on YouTube and base your entire perception of the guy. If yall at least learned the plot of the game, you would really appreciate the character more.

MORE OVER, THE QUALITY OF SEPHIROTH FANFICS WOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YALL COULD REFERENCES SOME OF THE GAME’S LOCATIONS AND NAIL DOWN SUPPORTING CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS AND PERSONALITY.

Some of yall don’t know Sephiroth’s characterization and seem to go off your personal headcanons or use typical anime tropes when writing him. Sephiroth isn’t some anime bad boy, he’s vindictive, petty and scary soft spoken. Just look at how he flicked Aerith’s blood off his masamune towards Cloud. Or when his hand kept running up Cloud’s back and up unto his neck in one of Cloud’s hallucinations. I get that from watching clips out of context, his actions might seem like a dom daddy and all but he’s more than that if you see it through different perspectives. Like don’t forget, he’s trying to destroy the world with a giant meteor crashing down and wiping everyone out.

Just putting it out there.

Controversial? takes on anime dubs. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin. There is a high chance comedies work better in a language I understand.

Code Geass Dub > Sub (watched the show dubbed first and didn’t care about it, rewatched it shortly after dubbed and it impacted me more)

Jujutsu Kaizen Dub > Sub (I don’t know why but the JJK sub is so ordinary to me, jokes don’t translate well/land well as much as the dub. Also really love dub Yuji)

Buddy Daddies Dub > Sub (dub Kazuki is a standout)

Seraph of the End Dub > Sub (only watched two episodes but the sub bothered me because the voices of the two main characters didn’t match so I switched over to dub and it was much better)

Sk8 Dub < Sub (I just don’t like dubbed Reki 😕）

Attack on Titan Dub < Sub (I feel like the sub is better at emotional moments that involve screaming)

Hey I’m confused by the first two words of your response but everything I agree with. People are still finding themselves and in the end, it is speculative media. Either or not intentionally is up to debate (my own East Asian baggage) but I’m interested to hear more about what you have to say.

In the end, it’s my opinion and you may or may not agree and that’s fine.

Unpopular opinions on mlm ships

It’s weird. I’ll watch Banana fish, Sk8, JJK, Buddy Daddies and even Link Click and come to the conclusions that the main mlm ships (Ash x Eiji, Langa x Reki, Geto x Gojo, Kazuki x Rei, & Lu Guang x Cheng Xiaoshi) are all just good friends and have no romantic chemistry.

It’s honestly really jarring to not really engage in previously named fandoms until much later after completing the show and being surprised by people’s interpretations of character interactions.

For example, until Reki and Langa talk about something else besides skateboarding, I don’t see any romantic chemistry. Same with Kazuki and Rei with something else other than Miri and their jobs, Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi with their time traveling, and I think Geto and Gojo just needed more moments together. Ash and Eiji are an unique case, I read the manga first and I didn’t get queer vibes from the story. They also just seemed like good friends to me :/

However, I’ll believe Yuji and Megumi from JJK are totally into each other. I feel like it’s because they had more interactions within the story that suggested a stronger bond than Geto and Gojo. I don’t really get me either.

A soft spot for big brother

if anyone bothered to ask Cloud why his narrated flashbacks feature Sephiroth telling him he did a good job and looking into his eyes in slow-mo.

happy pride :)

I know I’m like a decade late to this but Sarada still does not look like either her parents. She still looks like a splitting image of Karin with black hair.

It’s just a bad design choice. Sure it’s humbling that the Sasuke Uchiha didn’t just have a daughter, but a daughter who’s a goody two-shoes tomboy nerd. Not tomboyish like Sakura but in a way where if teenage Sasuke met Sarada, he would think she’s lame/uninteresting.

I don’t know why but I always pegged Sasuke as someone who preferred having a son over a daughter. He’s just not a girl dad you know?

Kinda like how Itachi wanted a younger brother than sister. Women and female beings just aren’t important to Sasuke. Sasuke isn’t going to entertain playing dolls or decorating a room with pink and glitter. He’s a tough parent who is just too masculine for girly daughter father things. That’s probably why he’s just not included in her life outside of battle. Another reason why he struggled to connect with her outside of not being in her life.
