I’m just going say it although the book of death/Shinigami’s powers is cool also the big idea of the gameplay;in a way is kinda useless mostly on the fact the culprit dies,i mean HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET A CLEAR TRUTH WITHOUT A CLEAR CONFESSION!!!,also it just made it worse now that there now a person mysteriously dies out of nowhere,but they managed to put it in storyline sooooooo

Yeah something to think about

I think maybe it has to do with since Shinigami is the God of Death, her power is going to have a connection over on death. But you bring up a good point that it isn’t exactly useful considering it makes exposing the criminals harder.

Until I remember in Chapter 0 after the first Mystery Labyrinth from a YouTube gameplay I watched, where Shinigami comments how Yuma is now free since the culprit is dead, which the YouTuber comments that wasn’t going to work because Zilch was meant to be dead from the start and they only ended up reaffirming that narrative the Peacekeepers were painting to begin with. And I was thinking to myself, ‘didn’t they already figured out that the Peacekeepers were in on the plan in the Mystery Labyrinth? So why did she think the Peacekeepers would let him go if they were planning to frame him anyway?’ And that led me to think really hard about this.

We know Shinigami has the flaws of lacking empathy and not understanding humans at times, since she is an immortal god. I think in her mind, since the culprit is gone, there would be no reason for the Peacekeepers to keep framing him. Plus, again thinking into Shinigami’s mind, I think she believed since the culprit was a murderer would mean they would probably kill more people in the future, so the real goal was to stop a growing threat from claiming more victims like before.

And the killing thing? I think it’s a way to deal the justice in the holder’s own hands, to off the culprits so they don’t keep harming people from the mysteries they made, or claiming anymore victims from their deeds. In Chapter 1, one of the culprit was a serial killer, who would have gone off to kill more people. And the other culprit could have technically become a serial killer himself since he admired the Nail Man so much. Plus, an innocent man was going to get framed and executed for the Nail Man’s crimes to keep up appearances, and seeing how the Priest was going along with the lie, basically implied he was okay letting an actual, innocent man die in his place. Then in Chapter 2, Kurumi gets framed for the crime, and since execution seems to be a thing, she could have been executed herself, all so the Peacekeepers can keep their lies and appearance in place.

Plus, we have seen that the Peacekeepers don’t necessarily care about justice unless it serves them (or the higher-ups like Yomi in this case). They are willing to cover up the mysteries to convenient themselves and get what they want. And considering they are the police force, therefore the handlers of justice in Kanai Ward, they are the only ones in power that can lock away the criminals in hand and bring justice. But because they are so corrupt and self-indulgent, they are more willing to let criminals go or turn a blind eye or fail to solve the case thoroughly. So the Book of Death is the only way to ensure not only are the criminals are properly dealt with, but also cut away the Mystery Labyrinths as well. Since Shinigami has noted that if the Mystery Labyrinth grew and remain, they would influence other people into becoming murderers or criminals that would create more Mystery Labyrinths as well. As it was theorized by Yakool-Foolio that Kanai Ward’s Ultimate Secret’s own Mystery Labyrinth is what most likely led to the city becoming more crime-filled and creating their own Mystery Labyrinths as well.

It’s also important to note that there are other corrupt officials out in the world like the Unified Government who wants to keep their own secrets hidden away to keep up appearances. So it wouldn’t be far-fetched if there were other corrupt forces like the Unified Government and the Peacekeepers who would keep things secrets for their own benefits. Plus, we learned in chapter five that Number One of the World Detective Organization that he is actually in charge of issuing criminals to be sent to the death penalties, as noted here by Shiut, so I think executions and death penalties are uncommon in the Master Detective Archives world. So it wouldn’t be such a big deal for criminals to just die, even if it is inhumane and cruel.

In conclusion, I think the Book of Death is really a tool used in order to bring about the end of the criminals that threatens peace for everybody and could potentially hurt people (people getting framed, the killers killing future victims, exploiting people, etc). Since there is the chance of corrupt police forces not willing to indulge justice as they should and will let the mysteries remain and therefore the criminals free, the Book of Death is a mean to make sure the criminals and mysteries are gone. It’s a morally grey story where it may not be morally right, but it is not morally wrong either with the circumstances at hand. I think that’s what the Book of Death’s intention are, and why Shinigami thinks the way she thinks.

I thought of AU In which was kinda similar to your spooky AU;only difference is Yuma became a supernatural, ghost and Being Makoto’s familiar in a series of slice of life or just one shots

Yuma remains a ghost or he grows over time and becomes a reaper( I like the 2nd choice better)

As a familiar he protects Makoto while helping him solve situations also following Makoto’s order

And no I’m not writing this, I’m no writer but I am a thinker

Ooh, interesting. Though I am not sure if I will write this AU myself either. It’s an interesting idea, though, and I might take some inspirations/elements off of it for my AU.

Oh wait, brainstorm! I have an idea I might try out where Yuma does get some reaper-powers as a Homunculus due to Shinigami’s power lingering, becoming a fellow protector of the Homunculus alongside Makoto.

Ok can we just also head cannon that Yuma doesn’t like the meat buns not just because what they’re made of rather he doesn’t like meat buns in total.

Head cannon that Yuma kokohead least favorite food is meat buns

My proof I found on twitter

To anyone

FLUFF SPOILER WARNINGS

PLEASE POST PICTURES OF MASTER DETECTIVE ARCHIVES: RAIN CODE MANGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found this on twitter

OMG

😅😂🤣

I have the the idea of Vivia being a supernatural as a vampire and Yuma being a supernatural as a ghost in which he still has his forte and shinigami being his friend

While Vivia also still has his forte.

them beside shinigami having the ability to disguise as human,the only trait being out with Yuma is that he cold so he tries not to touch people unless he needs to and for Vivia he can stand in the sun but not to long or else he gets sick

But that a random thought that was just inspired by TBHK/toilet bound hanako-kun

By: Joanna Haruki

It is only a matter of time

That all will be place upon the scale

To be judged for their sins

Wether be the hand of tyrants or the

Hand of god who rules upon death

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For Everyone will sink,so make the most of that

Finale show

Of the final feast

Because for those sinners,that entertainment will

Soon come to an end

For when it rains

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For All people will all be drowned

All will be dissolved

Into the waters

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For The Herrscher of the rain

Will remain,weeping on thy throne

On thy Palace alone

For the ward it loves is all gone

For it fears came true

Came out of its own control

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For Everyone to be drowned

For everyone to be dissolved

For everyone to be forever trapped

In this sea of mysteries and despair

Can someone please make a au/fic where yuma kokohead is also a homunculi

Thanks 🙏 😉🥂

Something that i bothered me about the game is that, they never said anything about the detectives' ages (especially Yuma's)

It’s what bothers me the most as of right now, because it’s kind of a dicey territory when you really look at it. I had a full blown discussion with a few friends about this as well, and I understand that I don’t see eye to eye with everyone about this, but I wish we did know, because Yuma Shipping Discourse is bothersome, in my opinion, and given that there is a lot of s*xualization of minors in Japan and Japanese Media is what I think makes the whole lack of clarification to be a very thin line between being okay and being uncomfortable / creepy. The whole thing gives me the ick and my thing is, I don’t care if I’m disagreeing with people, we’re bound to not agree on somethings, but I feel like this is an issue where us, among the community, should agree to disagree, because I don’t feel like arguing a point that people don’t want to agree with me on, if that makes sense ? Anyways, I just view Yuma as a gifted burnout teenager and will leave it at that, and there isn’t any reason to argue with me over it because I am not willing to compromise until it is canonically revealed with proof.

Hahaha, that was definitely an infodump nobody asked for ; and this wasn’t an attack toward you at all, I’m sorry if I came off as aggressive, this is a generalized statement for everyone that has come to me with the stance of “ Yuma is a legal adult “, because it’s strange that it’s happened twice already. 😭🥂

Familiar Feeling

There is another (Kirigiri-Naegi.)

Yuma throughout each Chapter per in my Headcanons/AU

Fuck it. Protag fan kids (+ Yuma)

Some Yuma headcanons and doodles (Also I know the blood is pink but shhh it looks better)

"Welcome to the family, Junior"

He picks up habits

I had a headcanon where Yuma didn't graduate from Hopes Peak yet during MDARC and the NDA surprised him by attending his graduation months after the events of the game
