Danganronpa Kaito - Blog Posts
Imagine:
Kaito stretching his lips all the way over to Maki as his pupils begin to enlarge.
What if Kokichi loved Maki but Maki still loved Kaito
I'll never be outdone! Cause I'm the oldest son!
The brothers ever guys!!(This isn't ship art)
Little fun fact
In the Manga—Kaito, Angie, And Kokichi can all be seen with instruments made by Miu
Kaito has a guitar without enough strings to play it, Angie has maracas, Kokichi had a tambourine and microphone
And Ryoma gets handed it briefly but doesn't actually sing
It was like my favorite part of the Manga so I wanted to share that
Kaito is so fucking tragic and I hate how people completely ignore he's more than just a support to Shuichi
Like Kaito's problems are never brought to the surface but in like very few short instances which make it worse because the fact his problem is hiding his feelings from people to make them all feel like he's the perfect person to look up to
He's scared of being vulnerable with people because he thinks that will lessen their view on him(Exactly why he hides his illness), The need he feels to pick everyone up and always give them someone perfect to look up to, His implied internalized homophobia(The way I read it at least)
LIKE GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK💔💔💔
"Be my hands forever stained. By a thousand smears"
"Full of blood and tears..."
Can someone actually tell me how Shuichi and Kaito would realistically get together...
Do not twist my words, Saimota is one of my top favorite ships
But like,,, Kaito is kinda oblivious to any hints or even anything direct about love and so is Shuichi(Like he was given a box of chocolates and thought it was platonic...Come on...)
How in God's green earth are these two getting together
I'm bored in school so here's my take on a few pregame characters
I have everyone's personality, backstory, and motivation for joining the killing game all though out
But here are just my personal favorites(Shuichi, Kaito, Maki, and Kokichi)
Shuichi - Not a yandere or anything, Literally just acts like your average teenager. He was either in choir or cooking club(Maybe both) and wasn't actually too crazy about being a detective and only asked for that specific talent because of the cool possibilities of his execution. He didn't really have anything going for him in life and he loved Danganronpa anyway, So he wanted to be apart of it. He was acting like a crazed maniac in his audition tape to make sure he got in. His parents are much more average than the screen-writer and actors they are in-game but they still neglected him a lot
Kaito - Basically the same as his in-game counterpart with him just acting a bit different because he doesn't have the pressure that being an ultimate comes with. He still dragged Shuichi and Maki off to be his friend(Though for different reasons). He also plays an exaggerated version of himself in his audition tape to higher his chances of getting picked, But he did still join for fame and fortune. He doesn't have a father but still has a mother with Kokichi as his younger brother(I explain why this would be changed for in-game in Kokichi's segment)
Maki - Again, Also the same as in-game just without the "Do you wanna die?" threats. I can see her actually going through the backstory that was written for her, Only differing thing is the fact she escaped from the Holy Salivation Society after her friend died. Her motivation for auditioning was to die(And protect her only friends if they got in too). She really didn't want to be the ultimate assassin and most likely auditioned for something totally different, It was only assigned to her because of her backstory being less work to change
Kokichi - Not a fucking "uwu soft bean", He's literally just as chaotic as he is in-game(Just less y'know,,, Murdering people). Didn't originally plan to get the main antagonist role but was ecstatic when he found out he got it, And because he's the antagonist they had to change both his and Kaito's backstories(Because if Kaito remembered growing up with him, It would ruin Kokichi's antagonist role. Cause he could tell certain things he was lying about and fuck up his plans) he probably joined for the hell of it and maybe to try and help Kaito survive. He's also in student government and yearbook, Nobody knows how he got into either of them(He doesn't even really know)
And yeah, That's my take on some pregames
In honor of Halloween, Might I suggest the training trio as the Nightmare Before Christmas trick or treaters
Maki as Shock(The witch)
Shuichi as Barrel(The skeleton)
And Kaito as Lock(The devil)
"We've met several times before. Each time we were a little different, But we always became friends..Maybe we were more"
Kaimaki has been eating at my brain recently and this idea is part of it.
Spoilers
So if you're still reading I'd assume you're familiar with Danganronpa and how in it; Kaito brought Maki to train with him and Shuichi because he seen her more than just an assassin
I like to think that stretched beyond just in the killing game
Pregame; I imagine Maki was distant for a similar reason(In my head pregame backstories are nearly the same as in-game, Only one or two things are added or exaggerated to make them the Ultimates), And Kaito dragged her along to hang out and they became good friends. When Kaito auditioned to be on Danganronpa, Maki hardly had anyone else so she joined with him too; Mostly to try and protect him, But more for other reasons that don't lay important to mention right now
In the killing game(As I mentioned before) he did the same thing, Annoying her until she finally gave in and hung out with him. Becoming friends and Maki even developing feelings despite being in such a dangerous circumstance
In Danganronpa Summer Camp/Ultimate Talent Development plan(Though not canon, Deserves an honorary mention). They meet under different circumstances and Kaito seems to have done the same thing once again and dragged Maki along to training. Eventually becoming such good friends that Maki tells him she's the Ultimate Assassin. Even in such a contrast to the killing game where it would change how they talk to and act around each other they still became friends
This probably makes no goddamn sense but basically what I mean is; I'm hooked on the idea of them meeting in completely different settings with personalities that slightly or drastically differ, Yet they still always become friends
Like soulmates who date throughout every reincarnation
Kokichi and Kaito are brothers and it was erased from their memories for the killing game because if Kaito remembered growing up with Kokichi; Kokichi's antagonist role wouldn't work well
Shhh I'm correct and you god damn well know it
Kaito Momota is a mama's boy
Shuichi Saihara is a mama's boy
Ryoma Hoshi is most likely a mama's boy
Kokichi Ouma is a mama's boy
Kiibo would be a mama's boy if he had a mom
Gonta Gokuhara is a mama's boy
They're all fucking mama's boys
What If the Danganronpa V3 Characters Were Given Digimon? Part 4
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Kaito Momota
Finally another digimon x Danganronpa post after almost a month! It’s Kaito’s turn! I was originally going to do Shuichi but his digimon line has been more difficult than I thought (Kyoko does not help). While trying to figure out his I found digimon that made ENTIRE DIGIVOLUTION LINES for multiple characters!! To add to my suffering none of them are from V3 🥲. I needed a break so I decided to work on a character that would be easier. Honestly Kaito’s digimon went through a lot of changes during my process, but I think this is a very fun line, and surprisingly easy. It think this is the fastest I have ever made a line.
Rookie: Rocketmon
Yes everyone I used the forbidden form. I used an Appmon. I don’t care what anyone says I consider Appmon to be Digimon and anyone who disagrees can fight me! This is far from the last time I will use an Appmon, so put away those pitchforks! I found out about Rocketmon while looking for digimon for Shuichi and in a desperate attempt I went to look up Appmon. As soon as I saw this guy I knew I needed it to be Kaito’s partner. I was originally going to use Lunamon and then the rest of her line due to its relations with the moon and I thought giving Kaito a feminine digimon would be a nice change of pace. While I still think that would be an amazing fit for Kaito I think Rocketmon is the better choice. What better digimon for the Ultimate Astronaut than a literal rocket?! It also serves as a great reference to Kaito’s execution since he was thrown into a rocket. I did briefly consider Gammamon because all of its forms relate to constellations and the stars, but I like to include as many different references about a character as I can. If I can hint at a character’s death or execution I will, as morbid as that is. That aspect is lost with Gammamon.
Champion: Starmon
I’m so proud of this pick. This digimon just screams Kaito. Kaito literally calls himself Luminary of the Stars and Starmon is well a star. Lore-wise it is said to be discovered in a planet analysis software of a space development center, and is described to be a space warrior! I also thought that out of all of the options that I had listed for Kaito, Starmon served as the best transition from Rocketmon and the Ultimate that I chose to use for this line. The metal armor kinda creates a connection to a machine like digimon like Rocketmon. But I also think Starmon fits Kaito’s personality well. It’s a justice seeking digimon that has good intentions, but it is also hot-blooded and tends to think with its fist before its head. Now that sounds a lot like Kaito to me. Honestly these two would probably get into so much crap together because they would just try to save the day without thinking.
It’s alternate digivolution time! So I went back and forth on what digimon to use for a while. In the end I decided to go with Kausgammamon.
So part of the obvious reason as to why I decided to use this digimon was because the entire Gammamon line has a strong relation to constellations and the stars, which obviously relate to space. But this is another digimon that I see as a goofy pal that Kaito would have a fun time with. I also thought it would be fitting for the Ultimate Astronaut to at least have an alternate digivolution that could fly and also carry him. Kausgammamon also serves as a refrence to Kaito’s love suite event. For anyone who doesn’t know, in his fantasy he is an airplane pilot who wishes to defeat his sworn rival before going to space, but he has developed romantic feelings for them. Kausgammamon kinda resembles a plane, at least to me it does. It’s just a fun reference that I haven’t been able to make yet.
But I still have one more digimon for Kaito in the Champion stage, and it’s his dark digivolution. Now despite how optimistic Kaito is it’s almost to a toxic level in V3. He truly wants to believe in everyone but then he ignores the very obvious evidence that proves his classmates guilty. In some sort of anime or fanfic I think Kaito would put his trust into the wrong digimon and that digimon would end up betraying him and try to kill him. Obviously his digimon partner will be with him during that encounter. Either the hurt of the betrayal causes Kaito to get super pissed or Rocketmon gets super pissed at Kaito for trusting a random digimon that was probably very sketchy. But either way those negative emotions would cause Kaito’s partner to dark digivolve into GulusGammamon.
First of all can I just say how much I love this digimon and his design! Given the scenario I just explained I think it would be fitting for Kaito’s partner to turn into a digimon that just wants to fight and kill everyone and everything. If it can’t trust it’s friends then everyone is it’s enemy. Also I get to keep the star theme, which is awesome! But yeah, Kaito is going to need to have a lot of therapy with his partner in order to fix things.
Ultimate: Crescemon
I was bound and determined to have that Lunamon refrence dang it! Obviously Crescemon is tied into the moon which would most likely be where Kaito would have gone if he had to opportunity to finish his training as the Ultimate Astronaut and then go to space. But he died instead. Crescemon is also the best transition I could think of from Starmon due to its pieces of metal armor. Starmon also digivolves into Crescemon in Digimon Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition, so this works! Crescemon is also a protector in nature, which I definitely think fits Kaito. He was always determined to help his friends in V3, especially Maki. This man even killed Kokichi so that Maki would not be the blackened. This man is a protector so Crescemon fits him perfectly. I did think about using Superstarmon but I really did not want to use it and Starmon in the same line. It’s literally just a yellow Starmon with sunglasses. One of the things I like about doing this is that I like forcing myself to be creative and using Superstarmon just felt too easy and plain. Besides Crescemon gives me a different type of space reference. I also did think about using Canoweissmon as an alternate form, but once again I like using multiple references and I would’ve lost the love suite reference since I only want everyone to have one alternate form that isn’t a dark digivolution. Also I wanted to look at more aspects about space than just stars. Kaito’s picture literally has the moon behind him!
Mega: Siriusmon
Okay maybe my choices are not as creative as I thought since this is the third member of the Gammamon line that I have used. I think I already explained most of the reasons why I would use this digimon. I did consider using Dianamon, but I just felt like Siriusmon suited Kaito more. It’s also still serves as a decent transition from Crescemon. But man I can not get over how cool the gun and sword and gun combo is on this digimon. Definitely one of my favorites. 
And that’s it for Kaito everyone. I’m honestly really proud of this line overall, even if it isn’t the most creative. Hopefully this change of pace will allow me to actually finish Shuichi this time. Hopefully I won’t take a month this time, but I’m a busy college student so we will see. I love you all! Bye!
…I entirely blame @twunk-ouma for inspiring me to make this cursed meme ^_^;;
Uh if you're still doing Miu ship opinion stuff how about Irumota? (Kaito x Miu) /nf btw skjzhdhskxjsj
