Oh my god, you know what I just realised?
Makoto putting the Remnants of Despair inside the Neo World Program—as idealistic as his intentions were—indirectly makes him a Mastermind.

"Makoto"
If only they knew he had the power.
Inspiration? This post from @makowo and @hibiscuswolverine's reply!
Redraw of something I made a while back.
(WHATS THE HOPE RESTORATION PROJECT THINGY IDK)
A fangame called Hopes Restoration, hold on lemme copy paste
"The story of Hope's Peak, the tale of it's despair and the hope that overcame it, drew to a close with the creation of a new Hope's Peak Academy. A story displaying a series of worldwide conflicts, both caused and resolved by Ultimate students, ended on an uplifting note...but could the world really return to normal that easily? As it turns out, so such luck.
As society began to rebuild itself, talented young people were once again viewed as the hope of the future. To cultivate what remaining hope the world had to offer, the new Hope's Peak Academy, among other ultimate schools were established. However, not everybody was on board with the re-creation of these schools. Many people blamed ultimates for the tragedy occurring in the first place, and feared that history might one day repeat itself. To ease their tensions, the coalition of these prestigious schools devised a plan. A plan to positively influence the reputation of ultimate students in the media by broadcasting the daily lives of a few carefully selected students. They called it: The Hope Restoration Program....but this is Danganronpa isn't it?
When sixteen students come together, it's unlikely that things will go according to plan. Especially when someone else has already found their way into the school."
Junko’s great and all but for me Hopes Peak Academy is the main antagonist of Danganronpa.
You’ve got the whole oh being part of the elite is actually really fucking stressful. And wow I wish I could do other things but my worth is entirely tied to this one thing I do.
Like we saw with Leon.
Then you’ve got them being a dick to everyone else. Like it’s one thing for them to be like oh you don’t have a talent our one school recognises as important?
I guess you’re nothing then.
But then they take it even further by creating the Reserve course. Ah yes let us give these peasants the privilege of being near us while also reminding them they’re nothing compared to us.
But also you know human experimentation.
It really hit home watching Danganronpa 3 and realising oh..any of these kids could’ve become Izuru Kamakura.
It’s just that they picked Hajime. Oh they frame it as a choice but no that kids fate was already decided the moment he was enrolled.
It would’ve been interesting if that ever got out. That Izuru Kamakura, was a Reserve Course student. That this beacon of terror was someone they all view as inherently worthless for being talentless.
Despite the fact that metric is one that only Hopes Peak uses and cares about.
I don’t blame any of the Reserve Course for wanting to burn the place down. The way they were instantly vilified the second they decided to rebel against the school.
Not only did they cover up the murder of a student but if this got out too…Yikes.
Honestly had the tragedy been less…colossal I genuinely believe Hopes Peak would be relieved by it. Sure they get some bad press but it’s one student, maybe one class.
In the grand scheme of things it changes nothing and they can all be discredited it.
Hell I can absolutely imagine a concept where Hopes Peak reveals Izuru Kamakura’s real identity and paints a narrative about this disillusioned Reserve Course student lost to jealously.
And despite the aid of the prestigious academy trying to help him, he turned into a monster. Even going so far as to bastardise our glorious founder with his name.
I can see them trying to wipe their hands clean of everything. Also I refuse to believe Jin Kirigiri was some unknowing man caught in the middle of this.
When he was the one running the place. And frankly I prefer the concept that he absolutely knew but tried to make amends with saving his remaining students.
With saving his daughter.
And being killed after refusing to give them up. Hoping that maybe just maybe he would be able to atone for the monsters he helped to create.
Junko’s also a monster that’s a fact but none of what she did would’ve happened if not for Hopes Peak.
And unfortunately only one of them got destroyed.
No offense to you Gozu. I'm sure you do your utmost in your assigned area. But the Future Foundation as a whole looks like it suffers from the same messed-up culture that permeated Hope's Peak. People being put into high positions of power on the flimsy basis that they're former Ultimates. Ando for example being put in charge of food procurement in a post-Apocalyptic world. Just being a talented confectioner doesn't qualify her for such a vital role.
I do understand your concerns, however, Ruruka has proven to be a capable baker no matter what one may think of her. And thus, she has since been useful to the Foundation.
And of course, during such limited times, those who were originally alumni or took part in Hope's Peak come to together to stop Ultimate Despair from spreading across the land. For the future of not only ourselves, but the civilians as well.
Indeed. Though lately we have been falling apart at the seams.
I can only offer my condolences and do my part...
Thank you, Gozu. Your reassurance is appreciated and we are rather grateful.
Yeah.....
*sigh....* Excuse me...I'm gonna go to the bathroom...
I think I may just pace around, move my feet and stuff...
*Hina and Hiro leave the room...*
*sigh* .........'Makoto....'
In all honesty, i love hiyoko the same reason why i love Kokichi and is because they're total assholes.
Seeing that post you made just now actually reminded me of something. This post-SDR2 RP blog storyline. Which claimed to be about the whole cast healing, and would be even-handed to everyone. Yet the writer's biases against Nagito constantly crept in, as there were noticeable double standards in the way he was treated compared to the rest of the cast.
Like I realized something upon looking at it again. It's Nagito, and Nagito alone who has to actually face his victims from when he was an Ultimate Despair. He's the one who gets ragged in person on by cast members from UDG. The others meanwhile? They never actually have to meet someone they personally wronged. There are no survivors of Novoselic (which got completely genocided in their version of events) ever confronts Sonia for example.
This is actually the case in a lot of fan works. It is very easy to tell when the writer has a bias against Komaeda. Personally, a thing I noticed when reading is that it feels like they all tend to put the other remnants in a good light while he is just. Separated. Similarly to how the fandom treats him in general by acting like he is the worst of them all. There's always that subtle undertone that shows they only hold things against him, which, again, is often because of the rooted ableism in how the fandom portrays him.
Funny... Since his actions really are tame compared to the others, he never even directly hurt anyone, unlike them. It's weird how the fandom doesn't hold the characters accountable for actual murders in the first place, but can I just mention how Komaeda (including Hinata) was the only remnant who didn't do anything violent and messed up except cutting his arm off?
As for Komaeda being the only one to face the people that he wronged, I saw that people even tend to make the remnants forgive each other immediately (or easily) or don't write any tension between them, making them friends. It's very confusing since they don't have normal relationships even in sdr2 and because they always make them target Komaeda with all the negativity... And because they literally killed each other. They would all be aware of how messed up they are and have to learn to accept it... They don't even have a reason to call Komaeda fucked up anymore because they've done worse, or rather he's fucked up too. They don't have to like him (they would realistically only tolerate everyone except the ones closer to them in the first place anyway), but it'd be way different, and they wouldn't be hostile. The fact that Komaeda would be peaceful makes that even more believable.
(Also do you mind sharing the name?)
I'm thinking about that one post that went "Amnesia but you're haunted by your scars" post, talking about how wiping someone's memory in fiction doesn't completely erase the trauma they went through, and I just immediately look to DR2's cast and go "... Yeah."
I think Makoto was well meaning in wanting to wipe their memories of being remnants and putting them in an island paradise, but like. That's not therapy. That's not healing. That's only covering the scars on their hearts with an ill-fitted bandaid.
Even without the KG for that game, I think the Remnants would have like, sensations of fear they can't explain, sensations of trauma they can't address.
I don't think it's cruel to want to erase someone's painful memories... but I don't think that's a solution, either.
