Like seriously, cut that shit out, if you get any cuter I'll die 😤

---fuckin patty-cake how are u gonna fight afo lookin like that???? U aint scary ur like a bunny trying to be intimidating, stop

Makoto's a war criminal is being an argument, and there's nothing I love more then being pedantic, so lets see what Geneva Conventions be argued as broken

For the sake of it I'm going to consider despair vs FF as something akin to a civil war, thus capturing the remnants would be prisoners of war

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.

Article 13 - Humane treatment of prisoners

Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.

Well those in the Neo World program DEFINITELY were seriously endangered. While you could argue the experimental treatment was done in the interest of the remnants, the fact it went so badly and was illegally administered against the will of Future Foundation definitely breaks this.

Article 22 - Places and conditions of internment

Prisoners of war may be interned only in premises located on land and affording every guarantee of hygiene and healthfulness. Except in particular cases which are justified by the interest of the prisoners themselves, they shall not be interned in penitentiaries. Prisoners of war interned in unhealthy areas, or where the climate is injurious for them, shall be removed as soon as possible to a more favourable climate.

Depending on how safe Jabberwock island is, Makoto may be in violation of this. As a cluster of small artificial islands all of which have been abandoned, how safe is it? Is it at risk of hurricane or giant tropical storms? What are the facilities there? If they're completely on their own can it really be stated they have every guarantee of Hygiene and Healthfulness?

Article 55 - Medical supervision

The fitness of prisoners of war for work shall be periodically verified by medical examinations at least once a month. The examinations shall have particular regard to the nature of the work which prisoners of war are required to do.

Sorry Makoto, Mikan doesn't count I'm pretty sure.

That's at least three war crimes and I'm sure you could find more if you looked harder then I did, but even with the most CHARITABLE reading possible, the Neo World Program is 100% against article 13, he's a war criminal

Have you thought that. The sdr2 characters gave up their talent bc they use it for despair while they were brainwashed? Kaz gave up his love of machines

*ending theme of digital circus starts playing*

bruh that would be so sad

Like imagine Teruteru gave up cooking because he also lost his biggest driving force that made him want to to cook in the first place (his mom).

Or Mikan starts to doubt any and all of her medical knowledge because she doesn't trust herself as she did before in treating other peoples wounds and is afraid she'll only hurt them further.

Or Fuyu giving up being a yakuza.

Wait well....actually no that might be a good thing for him. That might be an improvement actually.

The killing game was televised.

Can you imagine being a survivor involved with the Kamakura project.

Seeing Makoto.

Who is exactly what the project wanted to create.

The Ultimate Hope.

An "average" talentless boy possessing the ability to bring people up in a way no one has ever seen before.

Junko knew about the Kamakura project.

And I bet she was smiling to herself because those who worked on the project were killed.

If not killed barely surviving and in danger at every turn.

Lest their monster comes for them.

And seeing that they not only failed but their solution was right their in the year below.

Someone they never considered because he was talentless and pathetic, the irony.

Is everything they wanted to create and they can't control him.

Re:Tozu

I just wanted to make a post detailing what I find the most interesting about this character.

In Danganronpa, there is always some form of screwing around with the agency of the contestants in a Killing Game. In DR1, Junko had to wipe the contestants' memories first because if they remembered their friendship and the state of the outside world they would not be able to kill one another for any reason. In DR2, AI Junko was able to take advantage of the nature of the Neo World Program (which included memory wiping and things that would appear supernatural in real life) to twist it against its original purpose. In DR3, brainwashing anime was used to make contestants aggressive and ultimately kill themselves. And in DRV3, the Flashback Lights completely fucked with the contestants' memories to the point of altering their very identities. In every case, sci-fi means are used to turn people into murderers.

But things appear to be different in Project: Eden's Garden. Tozu does not seem to have access to any such sci-fi means. Instead, he lives up to his thematic purpose by being incredibly Luciferian in how he operates: rather than interfere with a victim's agency, he prods and tempts; he makes insinuations and emotionally manipulates. His blackmail motive is similar to Monokuma's motive videos, especially the V3 version where everyone's are mixed up. The difference is that where the motive videos were explicit threats to get someone to act upon them, the blackmails are a lot more varied: several of them are so harmless that they are immediately shared, while others are so vaguely worded that a potential blackmailer may not even have enough to work with. So there's no direct threat to anyone...but there is paranoia, as contestants can think "What if my blackmail is something serious?" or "What if the person who has my blackmail is smart enough to figure out what the vague wording actually means?" or "We all agreed not to use the blackmails for murder, but what if...?"

Then there's how he deals with Eva. When she unlocks the traitor perk, he doesn't force her to choose to use it, only tempts her by playing off her negative emotional state regarding Wolfgang and how he humiliated her. Then once she does choose to use it, he tells her she has a limited time to make a kill with it or else she'll die. But what struck me is that he never said he would kill her, or that Mara would: he just said "she'll die". He allowed her to infer that without ever actually confirming it. She herself confirms he never even told her the number of days she had before dying. There is zero doubt in my mind that he was pulling a Rango; he meant "if you don't use it, you will die...someday, somehow, without ever having made good on its potential." He didn't lie, he just spoke in a way that ignited Eva's own fear and paranoia.

Eva still made a choice to kill Wolfgang and frame Diana. Wolfgang still made a choice to listen to the letter he received and bring a knife. Diana still made a choice to listen to the letter she received and not help a drugged Wolfgang out of the water. All without their memories or state of being having been forcibly altered in any way...only their emotions being manipulated by Tozu's machinations, done with nothing but words and suggestions.

In that sense, Tozu is an even more sinister Mastermind than Junko Enoshima ever was!

yuma in the last defents

I’m confused,what did Haji do in ultimate despair girls (I only know about Komaru and the warriors of hope from the game)

//A lot of things. This is why I don’t stop at just him admitting to being a pedophile. Literally all the situations in the game time back to him and his father:

They treated Monaca like shit while she was growing up, which lead to her becoming cruel, manipulative, and accepting Junko’s influence in the first place.

They put Monaca in a position as Chief executive of Towa’s Robotics Branch, which is where all the Monokumas came from. Instead of monitoring what she was doing, they let her make them money and just turned a blind eye until it was too late.

They willingly cooperated with Ultimate Despair to both build Monokumas to intensify the Tragedy and manufacture both the air purifiers and the technology needed to fight the Monokumas while making Towa City into a safe haven. All because they were “in too deep” and valued their company’s reputation above all else. During the apocalypse.

When Towa City was suddenly but inevitably betrayed and thousands of people were dying, including his own father, Haiji refused to work with Future Foundation, a group who probably could’ve done a lot to help save lives and smooth things over, because he still thought the company’s reputation was more important than the lives of all those people.

He cowardly sat underground and did nothing for the longest time, something Toko actually called him out on, and would rather blame other people for the problems he and his father caused than take responsibility for them.

He makes an aside that he didn’t think Towa Group taking over the world would be such a bad thing? Yeah, maybe he just meant it as a joke, but I will never give this man the benefit of the doubt, especially not when he knows his family’s company is complicit all this.

When Komaru and Toko finally beat Monaca and got the controller for the Monokumas and Monokuma Kids away from her, even after being told over and over that smashing it would result in all the kids dying and start a war with Future Foundation to kick off a new era of the Tragedy- which Monaca literally stated was her plan- he keeps egging Komaru on to do it out of pure vengeance and spite. And then tried to take the controller from her to do it himself.

To expand on that latter point, he was willing to basically commit genocide on tens of thousands of children on the grounds that “they deserve it” for killing so many adults, even though were all under mind control and thus had no true agency in their actions. Which he knew, but still didn’t give a shit about. All he wanted was revenge.

And in the end, he still hasn’t learned anything and was apparently gearing up the resistance in the city to start a new plan of attack against the kids. Something that DR3 never followed up on, so we don’t know how that turned out, but I’m certain it wouldn’t end well.

//Tl;dr, he’s an abusive, cowardly, self-centered corporate brat who can’t take responsibility for his actions, willingly sacrificed millions if not billions of lives to preserve his company’s reputation as if it would actually mean anything, is fully and knowingly complicit in the emergence of the Tragedy to begin with, almost committed genocide and started a new war because he’s a vengeful idiot, and, oh yeah, the man is also an actual pedophile.

//I do not like Haiji Towa. At all.

Post Game AU where ppl wake up to consequences

Misc Notes

The survivors wake up with all their memories. They wake up on Jabberwock island. Same building structures but it's clearly been abandoned. The only building not in a state of disrepair is the lab they were hosted in.

Sonia immediately has a mental breakdown and sequesters herself in her room.

Akane is too frail to move but mentally she's doing as well as you can hope. Kazuichi cries for couple of days but throws himself into making the island suitable for living.

Fuyuhiko and Hajime compartmentalizes the fastest and leads the group.

After months, Hajime is able to wake up the first person: Gundham. He then wakes them up in term of who's been dead the shortest time in the NWP. Nagito and Peko's mind been shattered from the physical/mental trauma so Hajime leaves them for last.

Sonia avoids Gundham because he wakes up without memories from the tragedy. He reminds her of good days she doesn't deserve anymore.

Kazuichi help Sonia a lot. It's ironic because this is technically what he wanted but now he's hates it. He convinces Sonia not to avoid Gundham.

Beach episode sir’ Horikoshi I’m begging you

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.
