Pregame Danganronpa - Blog Posts

the most normal saiou doodles ive drawn that have never seen the light of day aside from my friends on discord

Sorry guys, I’m V3 ranting again (because I’m playing it rn and noticing things shsndjsj)

This time the rants are Kaede flavored!!!

(Shuichi gets mentioned but he’s not the focus so I won’t tag him (it’s also like mainly pictures and then two paragraphs of actually mentioning something but shhhh))

I find it SO INTERESTING that Kaede has the same exact thoughts before and after the memory wipe regarding her situation!

Even Shuichi freaks out the same when he sees her (however she shuts him down much earlier (and nicer) than before), ending up with them both apologizing to each other similarly to before (not exactly the same but similar enough that I think I should mention it).

This is honestly so interesting to me. She’s similar to before even within her thoughts and actions (at least in this part lol), but she just has that extra flair of fiction and piano added onto her.

I'm bored in school so here's my take on a few pregame characters

I have everyone's personality, backstory, and motivation for joining the killing game all though out

But here are just my personal favorites(Shuichi, Kaito, Maki, and Kokichi)

Shuichi - Not a yandere or anything, Literally just acts like your average teenager. He was either in choir or cooking club(Maybe both) and wasn't actually too crazy about being a detective and only asked for that specific talent because of the cool possibilities of his execution. He didn't really have anything going for him in life and he loved Danganronpa anyway, So he wanted to be apart of it. He was acting like a crazed maniac in his audition tape to make sure he got in. His parents are much more average than the screen-writer and actors they are in-game but they still neglected him a lot

Kaito - Basically the same as his in-game counterpart with him just acting a bit different because he doesn't have the pressure that being an ultimate comes with. He still dragged Shuichi and Maki off to be his friend(Though for different reasons). He also plays an exaggerated version of himself in his audition tape to higher his chances of getting picked, But he did still join for fame and fortune. He doesn't have a father but still has a mother with Kokichi as his younger brother(I explain why this would be changed for in-game in Kokichi's segment)

Maki - Again, Also the same as in-game just without the "Do you wanna die?" threats. I can see her actually going through the backstory that was written for her, Only differing thing is the fact she escaped from the Holy Salivation Society after her friend died. Her motivation for auditioning was to die(And protect her only friends if they got in too). She really didn't want to be the ultimate assassin and most likely auditioned for something totally different, It was only assigned to her because of her backstory being less work to change

Kokichi - Not a fucking "uwu soft bean", He's literally just as chaotic as he is in-game(Just less y'know,,, Murdering people). Didn't originally plan to get the main antagonist role but was ecstatic when he found out he got it, And because he's the antagonist they had to change both his and Kaito's backstories(Because if Kaito remembered growing up with him, It would ruin Kokichi's antagonist role. Cause he could tell certain things he was lying about and fuck up his plans) he probably joined for the hell of it and maybe to try and help Kaito survive. He's also in student government and yearbook, Nobody knows how he got into either of them(He doesn't even really know)

And yeah, That's my take on some pregames

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

Fanon pregame saiouma is.. er...
