Danganronpa rant #3

Please note before reading this that I have not finished v3 yet

This analysis is about Tsumugi so if she is a discomfort for you please be aware of that! This analysis contains Killing Harmony spoilers as well. I’ll be analyzing? Comparing? Her to the song ‘You’re gonna go far kid’ by The Offspring ^^ With that out of the way, let's move onto the analysis!

I wanna start off by saying I only started to relate this song to Tsumugi because of the first part. I always envisioned this animation to that part with her switching cosplays and so that's where this all stems from! This also only really focuses on Tsumugi as the mastermind, not so much backstory (does she even have a backstory?/gen). The first lines “Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time, And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach. Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd, And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” are what I’m going to start with! The first part (show me how to lie…) is representing how Tsumugi was the mastermind of the Killing game and was lying to everyone, followed by ‘and turning against the one is an art that's hard to teach’ showcases how she had basically turned against everyone and that being the mastermind is something you can’t teach.

The next two lines really solidify this stanza as a representation of Tsumugi as the mastermind for me. “Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd,” is Tsumugi throwing everyone off of her trail or for an in-game example, Its Tsumugi framing Kaede as Rantaro's killer. “As you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” is Tsumugi pretending to be another person trapped in the killing game!

Taking lines from the second stanza, “and no one even knew it was really only you” to me is the line that symbolizes the fact that no one knows Tsumugi is the mastermind, that she is the one behind everything and is only pretending to be a victim of the killing game. The final line of the pre-chorus represents Tsumugi right before she became the mastermind, “nice work you did, you’re gonna go far kid”. The ‘nice work you did’ section of the line being a reference to all the work and preparations she had to make for the Killing game and the second line being a reference to how she's going to do as the mastermind and how she’ll live up to Junko's legacy.

The chorus is really what showcases how the song represents Tsumugi as the mastermind though. The starting line of “with a thousand lies and a good disguise” is just begging to be a Tsumugi line, she's the ultimate cosplayer and the mastermind for crying out loud. The “Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say. See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives” is Tsumugi making her big debut in the final trial as the mastermind (I’m not 100% certain about the details of the last trial as I have yet to finish v3 but I have a vague idea of what happens).

Verse 2 is about how as the mastermind the whole killing game is focused on her. “Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight, So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me,” showcasing how she's the star of the killing game as the mastermind and “There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay, And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me” showcasing how as the mastermind she has the ability to control everything about the killing game.

Finally, ending this analysis with the outro to the song! “Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies, Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives”, it's a rather weak ending to this analysis but I think this line showcases how as the mastermind Tsumugi's existence in the game is just her falsifying her existence and making up lies about herself.

TLDR: You're gonna go far kid by The Offspring is a great song to represent Tsumugi as the mastermind of the killing game :)

Yes Dr is back have fun with the characters may make an ask page for them... If I do will tag the page in a post

If you want an ask page let me know in the comments...

Anyway the post

[They are in a place where cussing is basically illegal lol]

Miu: I'm telling you, pooichi and --kichi are ---king

Kaito: uh... I don't know...

Maki: nah they definitely are...

Miu: SEE! I'm a ---king genius!

Tsumugi: it's more of your just very observant...

The two in question:

Kokichi: IS... THIS! Your card!

Shuichi: what the devil why the devil

Kokichi: neeheehee!! I can't tell you!!!

Monokouma crashing out on shadow the hedgehog

Miu: Let’s see your tits bitch! (rips off your shirt and expose your tits)

Angie: (gropes your privates and fingers you) You have nice body. I’ll give you all the love.

Yeah anonymous asks are off now, Wanna try and scare me be up front :P

This is the post that "warrented" this response

So people still like Kaede and ship Saimatsu/Shiromatsu after this..?

Also saying "Tsumugi wrote her to do that" isn't an excuse and is victim blaming. Also blaming the writers themselves isn't valid either because this is ALL SHE DOES the whole chapter, Every single female character(Plus Shuichi) she treats like literal garbage and then just kinda laughs in their face about it

I don't care if you like her but for God's sake admit she's a horrible fucking person

Working on an animatic and desperately need this shot of the student council to get some traction because it took four hours alone and it's on screen once for less than five seconds

So Kirukiyo and Shironaga are canon and idgaf what anyone says

I just got Miitopia, And these four are my team

Maki's a warrior

Kokichi's a thief

Angie's a cleric

And Tsumugi's a mage(I don't like Himiko)

I don't think they'd realistically be that good of a team if they were actually in character

I'm pretty sure in Kiibo's Augmentative Argument or whatever it's called, Tsumugi is repeating shit the audience says sometimes Pretty cool

Listening to Perfect Fiction like I'm not crying my fucking eyes out

—"You were..Everything"

I actually love these two

I've had the thought of Tsumugi falling in love with her and growing a distaste for the killing game(Based on other personal HCs about her) and just wanting to end it but knows Team DR would have her head if she did

Some still images from that

Angie took three hours alone and Tsumugi took an hour😢

"Soulmates tend to copy each other"

(These are just my go-to/main ships, Not my only ones for certain of these characters)

First date between a wlw couple and it's just one painting a nude portrait of the other(/nsi)

So it's apart of my NDRV3 AU(That literally only affects pregame, Because I needed it to be explained a bit more to make sense) where certain scrapped characters and beta designs work at Team Danganronpa

Spoilers

Like example being this scrapped characters from Ultra Despair Girls

She writes/plans executions for different characters

And the ultimate zombie

She's head of design(For both the setting of the killing and the characters)

They're the only two I've thought about but that's just a few examples, It's not totally important to anything but I wanted to share😋

Oh and also Tsumugi isn't apart of Team Danganronpa, Nobody in the V3 cast does; Her character is just written to think she worked with Team Danganronpa and think she's the mastermind

Unpopular opinion, But there needs to be more characters who just make references to other franchises

Like they're so fun to write for what??

Part of me wants to make a fanfic of Shironaga x Red Flags, Part of me wants to make an animatic

What to do, What to do

Cause a whole 'lotta woman needs a whole lot more
