Danganronpa V3 - Blog Posts

Hot take: The pre-game selves of the Danganronpa V3 characters act exactly the same as the do in the game. It was their memories that changed not their personalities. Shuichi and Kaede act the exact same during the prologue before and after their memories were altered.

So I think Danganronpa V3 is about corporation corruption.

I mean, the game is about a killing game being broadcasted to the whole world. There are cameras everywhere and the characters are like actors on a set. (With their memories altered to fit whatever role they are playing.) I mean there were auditions, a setting enclosed from the public and the meteor explanation is something out of a sci-fi set. (Which was executed poorly in my opinion. I'm glad that wasn't real.)

So in the end Shuichi is fighting the corporation itself that turns their slaughter into media for the public to consume. Shirogane blame the public for wanting to watch the showdown between Despair and Hope over and again, which was supposed to be a meta reference to us the audience. (Again, wasn't done too well. I was mostly confused. But it works to put you in a suspense of disbelief.) But I think it was the fault of the corporation itself that saw a game where teenagers were being forced to kill each other and decided to reenact it around, sorry if my math is wrong, fifty times. Fifty times! That would be around 800 teens killed in the name of entertainment! That is so not fair! And cruel!

It was turned it a world wide popular TV show in that universe. The people there are really twisted to want to see teens fighting for their lives. Do none of them watch in horror and just want to see them home safe with their families? Is the corporation who makes the show lying about some details of the show to make sure they don't get shut down? They do kidnap the 'actors' to get the ball rolling.

How long does each killing game last? Ten weeks? Five? So how old is Shirogane if she was there for 50 killing games? She would probably be older than most of the kids participating.

Also for the people participating, we know nothing about their pre-game selves. For all we know, some of them could actually be adults instead of teens. Wait...if there is a criteria for joining, it would be anyone from 15 to 17 which is so much worse! There are teens agreeing to kill each other and be slaughtered.

Why isn't there anyone in that world protesting the killing game? Someone should. Maybe start and activist group...

I have an idea for story writers and Danganronpa fans. What if...a new story in the perspective of the world outside of Danganronpa. This would take place after Danganronpa V3. It would be through the eyes of an activist against the killing game. They would protest the killing game being broadcasted and children being sent in to be slaughtered for everyone's enjoyment. The activist would not be a teenager but instead someone who had to witness the horrors close hand, maybe worked behind the scenes. (I will make another post about V3 explaining what I think is going on behind the scenes.) There would be murder mysteries, plots against the government, lawyer cases, and all the drama and angst you could want. Plus it would be a great way to build on the parallel world that V3 created.

I know Danganronpa isn't popular anymore. But an idea to those who want to try.

I'm not even exaggerating

Whenever people draw Kokichi as the Phantom Theif, they always draw him dressed like Mephisto Pheles from Blue Exorcist
