Firstly So Sorry For The Graphic Image. I Found This On The Danganronpa Reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him. Remember when Nagito’s body was found? The characters wouldn’t stop talking about the stab wound and the spear. The graphic depictions of Nagito stabbing himself added to the nightmare fuel situation. Like SOMEONE did that to his body vibe. In this trial, that wasn’t discussed in a manner that resembled 2-5. Not being able to see the graphic nature of a body being crushed flat means the characters can avoid it. Again, put yourself in the situation you felt when you initially saw Kokichi’s death. Seeing his crushed body would absolutely impact your experience because it’s like DANG, WHO DID THIS?! Did he really deserve a death like that? And so on.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters. Imagine seeing the body and then going to the trial where the exisal was talking in his voice. It would be SUPER weird. LIKE I SAW HIS CRUSHED BONES AND ORGANS OUT ON THAT PRESS AND NOW IM HEARING HIS VOICE? I know for some people, not seeing the body meant that maybe both Kaito and Kokichi were alive and that they used another body to substitute a killing. After Monokuma revealed that it wasn’t possible to do so, I don’t remember anyone who acknowledged the body afterwards due to how the trial was going.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never saw Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and stick to the script that a dead boy wrote. Personally, my entire view on Kaito would drastically change more if we both saw the state of the body. Like learning that Kaito killed Kokichi in the most violent way possible. This is no stab to the neck or strangulation where a character might crack a joke (throwback to Ryoma, Miu and even Nagito). I remember thinking that their plan failed because the gang ended up figuring out their scheme and there is a viewpoint that Kokichi’s plan failed. If it did, he died for nothing and in the most violently unnecessarily way possible too.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peers. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

Anyways - I recommend reviewing 3-5 again and seeing this image somewhere during the investigation. I promise, my opinion on 3-5 drastically improved afterwards.

Final Fantasy 8 Hottakes (Non-Gameplay Related)

FF8 should have been a horror game

- The CGI graphics remind me too much of a mix of Silent Hill 2 and Parasite Eve - Squall with blood on his face was so striking as the colour red does not appear often in the game - the frame of Squall’s lack of face gave me nightmares when my game lagged during the ending cutscene

- Rinoa’s unique appearance from clothing (love her DIY duster, bodysuit romper thing with the mini skirt) to her face (strong long and thick eyebrows, downturned eyes that look small when she squirts, and her pale face with no colour) makes her look quite...evil? when she smiles, she looks innocent at first but with her strong eyebrows and pale face, something about her reminds me of ghosts and spirits in Asian folklore (also Silent Hill for some reason)

- It might just be how blocky yet smooth the CGI looks in cutscenes but the character designs are unique because it doesn’t look that anime?

- Squall OG design has a really thick neck and angler face which made him look more realistic with the addition of not-anime sized eyes

- I think the lack of warmth on the character models make their faces look so dead which works if it was a horror game

- THE ENDING CUTSCENE! WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW SCARY THAT SHIT WAS? The two things I knew about the game was the frame of No-Face Squall from a watchmojo thumbnail and the ending cutscene (I had no context to the game at that point)

FF8 and Yugioh GX have the same weird setting design

- It’s a weird mix of futuristic (ish) mechanic vibes with socresses and aliens

- Like in GX, its surprising light hearted up until a point where it gets unnecessary edgy with monsters and magic

- It’s actually really hard to describe it but it’s not like FF7′s dieselpunk setting or YuGiOh DM’s mix of Japanese punk rock with Ancient Egyptian settings
