Hooboi13 - Sin Título

I know it's cool to hate, but I really wish more Danganronpa protagonist posts included Komaru from UDG. Komaru and UDG does so much of the heavy lifting to make DR work as a narrative and Komaru is just left to the wayside after breaking her back.

Well… this is gonna be a pickle to explain… I nominate Mahiru.

Why the hell did you single me out?!

No, we all should do it...

If anyone should tell Ibuki about what happened, it should be us, her friends.

We'll still come too, in case you need us...

I appreciate that. Let's go.

*Outside...*

Ibuki...?

Hi hi haaaiiiii!~

What's the happening?

You're...going to find this a little to hear, but-

Are you gonna tell Ibuki, that she and the rest of our classmates were brainwashed and became a whole bunch of terrorists and that everything on Jabberwock Island was a simulation and that I kind of died?

........................

How the hell did you figure that out?!

Kanon told me.

Hey.

a moment of peace, after the end

How’s Ibuki?

Okay I'll start off with Ibuki Mioda; I would say that while she is cheerful, friendly, outgoing and has good parents - she does have a mental condition.

Wait... Ibuki has a mental condition?

Indeed, it's ADHD or Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and it's unmedicated and no, if asking - her parents couldn't get the medication because it's illegal here - in fact I even say she gets along pretty well with her parents.

I see... Ibuki did mention that her parents aren't bad at all but if that's the case... it must be challenging.

It is, there were thoughts of leaving the country to get this medication but Ibuki wanted to stay because of her band, mostly she say that it was due to creative differences but in reality I do think Ibuki was lonely and just wanted friends, she even got accepted into Hope's Peak...

As for Mikan,... well I'm sure your aware of her background, right?

Not...really, all I know is that Hiyoko really doesn't like her but I didn't know why and she just tripped over herself, I just... figure that was just her being her...

Well sadly for Mikan, her life is filled with tragedy and trauma that I think Hiyoko wasn't even aware of or never care; she had a whore of a mother who constantly whored her out, her clients use her for sex, ask her take off her clothes and other favors.

Even at school, she was bullied for it; often doing favors for them, wanting to be useful that she develop a lot of issues even going to the point of being an attention seeker, especially her athazagoraphobia.

Athazagoraphobia? What is that...?

The fear of being forgotten; she was so scared of it that she would do anything for attention - even going into compromising positions to get attention, even bad attention as she can't tell the difference and given Hiyoko's hatred for those that lie and deceitful people.

To put it simply, Hiyoko and Mikan enable each other to be their worse selves and the 2 never got to understand each other because of it.

...I never even notice, it's no wonder.

My Cinnamon roll Izuku Midoriya aesthetic

The whole “smol bean”, “cinnamon roll”, and “potato” stuff gives me the major ick.

not sure how much it counts as controversial, but the bit at the end of DR3 where the Remnants take the blame for the killing game has always rubbed me the wrong way. Not just because of personal beliefs about information, but also because in that very same anime, we see Junko blackmailing people and HPA trying to cover up their mistakes. If anyone finds out the truth about the kg, they’re screwed. Felt like it went against the theme a bit.

Yeah actually I would say this is the opposite of controversial simply because I don't think I've ever met or seen a danganronpa fan who thinks dr3 was incredible. I don't hate dr3 nearly as much as I've seen other hate it, but I have a very strong love-hate relationship with it. Especially for Future.

But I can totally understand having beef with that particular ending. (In fact I have issues with most of the Hope arc) All three of the main games, even the pessimistic one, have a theme of facing the truth no matter how awful. So it is a bit strange for danganronpa to hide the truth when the core theme has always been to expose it. I can understand the world not being ready but...it felt unnecessary. Because The Future Foundation needs to be completely rebuilt anyway. All but three leaders of the FF are dead, and one of them just kinda walked away to do who knows what. The FF is also incredibly corrupt and terribly built. There IS no need to save it by taking the blame because it's already dead by the end of the anime.

okay but also.

i hate the neo world program. i hate the idea of it so much. i hate that their way to save people is to just cut out two-three years of memories, download them into a video game, and then save over those memories once they're better people.

and maybe this is because i come at this from having n2n as one of my favorite musicals where part of let's fix the mentally ill person is by electroshock therapy that WHOOPS caused them to lose their memories and then her husband's like you know what let's not tell her about the thing that we think caused the mental illness and then everything will be good! and great! and wonderful!

and i hate it.

because makoto + co. are making the same assumption nagito does, which is that now that they're remnants they are beyond saving in their current form so we're just going to regress them and cut all of that out of them and give them a reboot so they become the people we want them to be.

and, like, yes, we learn that the remnants agreed to this so they could try to bring junko back in them, which. you know. (is actually really funny when you think about nagito like if we bring junko back, maybe i get to kill her this time and then he's one of the dead people she would be coming back in, like, sorry, nagito, you'd literally become the person you hate the most.)

but makoto + co. didn't know that. they just forced them into these machines and wiped their memories without their consent and just. went from there. and the game suggests this is a good thing. because that's therapy! and dealing with trauma! to forcibly remove years of memory from your life!

it just makes me so uncomfortable. so uncomfortable.

and makoto's oh, i added a fail safe because i knew something would probably go wrong doesn't make it any better because that doesn't address the core issue. i just. i don't understand how people didn't tell them that this was wrong - or that they didn't realize that this was wrong - especially after having their own memories torn from them. (memories that! they had help! recovering! by the way!)
