Yeah, that AU would probably be one of the verses with one of the most stable relationships between Mikan and Nagito, due to the different circumstances. Wouldn't be anything like the unpleasantness of Chapter 3's trial in the main verse thanks to Mikan never developing an obsessive love for Junko, and the survivors becoming closer. Could be a very affectionate platonic relationship. Or romantic if you want to go there. And I'd like to think her and Hiyoko are on better terms too.
Even though I said their ship is "Insert preferred ship here", I do also like to muse about the idea of Protag!Nagito being in a relationship with the doppelganger of main Nagito's love interest. And it becoming a source of angst and development.
Like to use Komazumi for example, the first encounter could involve the survivors of the class swap verse traveling to the main verse and meet up with its Remnants (also Nagiko who's just chilling on the island). Lots of high emotions from seeing living variants of their deceased classmates, with the same being true for Makoto and co. visiting their Remnant counterparts. And after a bunch of interactions, Nagito, Mahiru, and the main Class 77 starts to pick up on some vibes from Protag!Nagito and Survivor!Mahiru. And then doing a double-take and realizing "Holy shit, are you two...a thing?"
The idea of his "lucky bastard" counterpart being in a stable relationship (with the doppelganger of someone he might have feelings for no less), becomes another source of envy for main Nagito. Feeling at this point that he neither can nor should be in any relationship like that. But the gradual humanization of his protag counterpart through learning about the dude's various flaws and mistakes (and their "sister" trolling him a bit), and the acceptance of him as his "precocious twin brother", eventually helps him come round to the idea that maybe it's okay for him to love again too. And seeing how happy and at ease her other self is, Mahiru starts to wonder if maybe the two of them actually could work as a couple.
Lol they hate eachother, her thinking he weird, he pushing her out of the way to hold hands with Makoto, YAYYY THEY CLOSE, I like that!! My two children getting along for once and having a stable bond with eachother! This survivor group is just amazing!!!!
Hmm I personally prefer platonic Komamiki because I like seeing them be besties and interacting hehe- survivors getting a close bond like found family is everything to me ππ
Ohhhhhh him getting somewhere with mains partner?? That's interesting βΌοΈβΌοΈ ohhh they meet up with the mainverse!! AND NAGIKO IS JUST CHILLING IN DA BACK AHAHAHA!! OOOOO THE EMOTIONS THE MIXED FEELINGGGGSS GIMME DA JUICY ANGST!!!! They sense SOMETHING AHAHAH KNEW IT LOL, Even the gang knows ahahhaha, their romance meter has picked up on some particularly high energy around the two ehehehheeheh
BRO STOLE HIS LOVE INTEREST?! NAHH THAT'S WILDDDDD π£οΈπ£οΈ He should've made a move when he had da chance and NOW his literal universal counterpart is making out with his partner AHAHAHHA he got no one for real, that sheet brutal ππ NO WONDER HE JEALOUS, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE MY GUY LOL!! Oh ohhhh this is some development!!!! AND THE TROLLING HAHA- Yayyy love saves all and they get character development<3
If there was a similar situation with Kaede, it could be a really pivotal friendship moment for all of them. Nagito being convinced he's found proof that the mastermind is cheating, and challenging Monokuma to a class trial to prove it. To which Monokuma replies that if they go through with it and he fails, the penalty will be the death of not just himself, but the entire class.
This makes Nagito falter for a moment, and look to them. Not sure if he has the right to make that call. Only for Mahiru, Gundham, and Sonia to step forward and say that regardless of whether or not he wins or loses, they're gonna stand with him on this. Mikan, Hiyoko, and Kazuichi follow, deciding they're tired of the Killing Game. And that if they do end up dying here, they'd rather go out united as a class.
The way Nagito discovers evidence of a Kaede-like situation could parallel Makoto's Chapter 5. With Nagito being framed for Imposter's death (they could have discovered something important and been killed), and being put through an execution that fails due to his luck. Leading to him falling down to some location where there's evidence of some kind of cover-up. Only in this AU, the execution could also parallel his life in the main verse. With him losing his left arm in the process of narrowly escaping.
Could make it extra funny when he crawls his way back up, walks into the cafeteria, and is all like "Heeeere's Johnny!" when revealing himself to the others. Who all start screaming and going WTF. After a few seconds of silent staring, he's just like "S-surprise. Not dead, guys.". Before finally he just falls over comically, having fainted from the blood loss. Mikan has to scramble to properly treat the wound.
THIS IS SO GOOD, oh no he falters- YAYYY THEY GOT HIS BACK WE LOVE YOU GUYS YOU'RE AWESOME, YASS THOSE GUYS TOOO, CLASS UNITE AGHH, I really like them supporting him for once :D, OH EM GEE THAT COULD WORK SO WELL, Ooooo that's an interesting look at it, AHAHAHAHAHAHAH THEY'D BE LIKE BRUH YOU WERE DEAD AHHHH OR SOMETHING, Kazuichi would be the loudest screamer and I love him for that, AHAHAHHAHA he falls over ( kind of like that scene in chapter 3 ) and Mikan would freak out and attend to the wound, this scenario is both silly and amazing- thanks for sharing this with me my favourite anon ππ

Just binged Murder Drones and I LOVE THIS SHOW SO FREAKING MUCH-
I imagined this little backstory for her where her first encounter with an alternate doppelganger was meeting a Liquid Snake-esque version of Nagito. One who as a child was the beta model for the Kamukura project in his verse, being enhanced with a prototype of the treatment that would eventually create Izuru. An Izuru v.0.5 you could say. Only he ends up rebelling, not content to just be a footnote for someone else. And he actually succeeds in killing his verse's version of Izuru after they're created (might not even have been a Hajime). Before then going on to form a little mercenary band of fellow science experiments across the multiverse.
He develops something of a fondness for his "little sister". Accepting her request to train and mold her. Admiring her determination in spite of her illnesses. Not every Nagito variant will end up with the dementia + lymphoma combo, but it's quite common for many of them to have at least some kind of disease. Hers perhaps might be something connected to her heart? Or her bones? Whatever the case though, there is a secondary reason related to that why she joins him. She wants access to the same physical enhancements the rest of his group have to neutralize or at least weaken her illness. The technology that created Kamukura having been democratized and more widespread across the multiverse.
He indulges this request. On the condition that she complete one last test, and take out the two individuals she'd been training to kill back in her home verse. Honestly he finds the whole vendetta a little childish, being like "Oh, those guys", remembering a long forgotten episode of his life where he killed his verse's Despair Sisters. Which was just another job for him. But he plays along. And ramps up the difficulty by warning the sisters in advance. Naturally of course Nagiko is pissed after having completed the job, as she lies on an infirmary bed. With her "brother" channeling Death in Terry Pratchett's 'The Hogfather'.
"You warned them I was coming."
"Well obviously. It was a test. It was meant to be educational."
"I lost my fucking right leg! I had to blow it off with a shotgun after they caught it in a trap!"
"And that was an important lesson."
In the end though she still gets rewarded for her accomplishment with the same enhancements to her body as the other members of the group. Not gaining all the talents + combat knowledge of a Kamukura, but now having their inhuman strength, speed, and stamina. As well as alleviating her illnesses somewhat. But it all ends on a rather bittersweet note. With Nagiko slowly realizing that despite her affection for her mentor "big brother", this is not a healthy sibling relationship at all. It occurs to her that she's starting to mirror Mukuro somewhat. And the assassination mission she went on ended up alienating her from her verse's Chiaki and the others. Eventually she decides to call it quits, and flees the group to strike out on her own.
Oooo backstories!! LIQUID SNAKE?!?! I'M SORRY I CAN'T TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY WITHOUT CRACKING UPAHAHAHHAHA JUST THE MENTAL IMAGE- the snake stole Tsumugi's cosplay wig or some sheet, OH NEVERMIND THIS GOT DARK REAL QUICK- part of the Kamukura project?!?! Ohh he a rebell!!!! Good for him!! Go snake guy- AHHHH THEY SIBLINGS I LOVE SIBLING BONDSS!!
Yep I can't argue with that, he seems really ill I can imagine the other variants having some sort of illness even if it's not the same one, maybe a branch or something completely different.. oh a heart or bone illness?!?! NAGIKO NUU- OHHH THAT MAKES SENSEEE!! SHE DESERVES THE WORLD OKAY!!
Oh no she have to kill in turn- actually this is the apocalypse of course people gonna die, WHAT?! HE TELLS THEM IN ADVANCE ππ No offense to him but Nagiko get them both!! Him and the Despair sisters honestly!! Yeah no wonder she's mad!! CONFRONT HIM GIRL!! Oh NO HER RIGHT LEGG!! AHHHH the parallels though!!!! Maybe she'd get a robotic leg or something ehe
YASS SHE GOT AN UPGRADE!! LESSGOO SHE got them strength!! She got them stamina!! Atleast it somewhat helps her illness even if it's not a complete cure- oh no.. THAT'S SO SADDDD AGHHH, And now she calls it quits and is on her own WHY YOU GOTTA HURT ME LIKE THAT ANON?!?! actually she does meet up with the other two Nagitos so all is well am I right<33 ππ
What's your opinion on Junko in P4+D2? I feel like she's the hardest to write since I want to get it across that she's a villain, but I want it to still be Junko despite the change in what she's planning.
I think you wrote her almost perfectly!! She really was in character the whole time, though to be completely honest I feel like she could've used a tad more evilness?? I think she should've been a little more in personality, like maybe a few more mood swings and slightly lacked more heartlessness- But other than that I really did enjoy how you wrote her alot, her dialogue was so interesting here!! Your comic is underated and deserves way more appreciation!! π©·π©·
You can really tell someone has lost it when they start losing fluids (crying, drooling and sweating)
