whenever me and wife @demipolvt are traveling to a Convention of some sort we unmask and go Full Trans and Full Gay and i generally think the people around us believe we're gonna act like those two guys in the Key & Peele sketch about the terrys. draxx them sklounst
a Manji Fushicho appearance headcanon. the people of Shuten canonically wear masks and eyepatches as a fashion statement, but i wondered if Manji was the same. this is my idea for the backstory.
Ministry of Security (THE OTHER FUSHICHO) spoilers & more below the cut
my headcanon is that Manji's other eye is actually Kagura's!
Manji was born with a shitty right eye and Kagura did the twin thing, both out of love and to establish a sort of sisterly dominance. considering how much of a complex Manji had about her own weakness, and that the game heavily implies Kagura was the "better" sister until her fall, i felt this made perfect sense.
later on, when we find out who else's parts reside in Manji...well, i like to think it was Manji's way of purifying herself, among other things.
we lost our dear Chubby today from old age/natural causes. while we're sad, he lived a LONG & healthy life and went peacefully here in the cave after a sharp decline today. he was surrounded by his family & seemed to be in no distress/pain.
we had years & years with this little chunker (almost 18 of them!) and we're glad we got to hang out with him for as long as we did! love you, Chubs!!!
both bear & slime (@demipolvt) are fine as well as the rest of the Cats of the Ice. don't worry about us! we are doing well remembering our boid (boy void). we'll miss his whining for deli meats, immaculate ability to find a perch on your hip, and stupendously polite ways of asking for pets (a gentle pawing).
Okay I’m legit curious, what’s ye whole deal with Shuten Order
I can’t play it because it doesn’t work on my device/I don’t know the language (Is there an English version?) BUT it sounds pretty cool
Propaganda! Propaganda please! Spoiler or not! I am legit curious.
yes, there's an English version for Switch and Steam!
Shuten Order Propaganda, Non-Spoilers
🔵 cool mystery
you are the founder of a religious nation waiting for "the end." you were murdered and your body dismembered, its parts raining down on your pothead Minister of Justice. but you wake up, reincarnated, in a temporary body a day later. two angels tell you God revived you and needs you to figure out who murdered you so you can come back to life and save humanity. you have 4 days or it's all null and void.
🔵 it's a kodaka game
if you like DR, Rain Code, THL, etc, then you'll probably like Shuten Order at least a little bit. this was his original idea, he directed the game, and helped write the prologue as well as the Ministry of Security Route.
there's lots of twists and turns, and the genre of the game isn't quite what you think it is...
🔵 but also not a kodaka game
also on this game for writing? Kitayama (DR Kirigiri/V3/Rain Code/2x2), Oyama (THL's Coming of Age route, among others well-received), Koizumi (2x2/DR: Killer Killer/THL's Romance), Nakazawa (Ever 7/THL as a production assistant/World's End Club, etc), among others.
this means it's a lot more mature than Kodaka's usual works. if you're not a huge fan of Kodaka's dirty jokes and fan service interrupting key plot points/serious moments, you won't find much of it here. the game is still clearly his, and extremely fun and charming, but Titty Typhoon and Mikan Coochie there isn't. believe it or not, in this very particular instance, i did not miss it much.
MORE UNDER THE CUT (also no spoilers)
🔵 protag is bae
you are Rei Shimobe, the world's cutest androgynous lady who needed to be reminded of your gender. technically you are over 40 years old but you were also born yesterday. you have no friends and whine a lot. you look like you play Call of Duty professionally. your angel parents do not help you much and the first thing they do is name you "slave mcservant" and wonder if they need to put you in more feminine clothes. one of them gives you a business card. you don't know what to do with it. this is you doing a thinky
🔵 fantastic aesthetic/cute girls
this game is gorgeous. check out my post on the backgrounds. here's some of my fave character designs:
🔵 myoosic
our pal Takada, who did Danganronpa/THL/Rain Code's music, is also on this game. here's my favorite track.
🔵 multiple gameplay styles
each of your Ministers, all potential culprits in your murder, symbolizes a different route with a different game mechanic. one's a dating sim. one's an escape room/death game. one's a murder mystery. etcetera. you must play them all, but you can play them in any order you want. the order you choose the routes does NOT affect gameplay like THL. it may affect how you feel about the plot, but this game only has two endings, so don't think you have to spend 150 hours excavating all the details. (no slander towards THL. just comparing)
🔵 actual wlw and trans rep
as i have stated many times before, the game has ACTUAL honest-to-god no-goggles canonical yuri. between main characters. it is not a romance game by far, but it is a major factor, and organically ties into the plot.
it also has a trans girl character who is a major secondary character. she was the source of some controversy before the game's release, but i can tell you that no one expresses any disgust towards who she is, her gender is never used against her, and she is not propped up for fetishistic fan service. her four sisters love her to death. she's well-developed with an arc, and adorable to boot!
🔵 the game is just really gender
besides our cutiepie trans girl there's lots of gender-bending characters and no cis fakeouts about it. (experience the character of Ku in the Ministry of Science route and TRY to define him. TRY.)
meanwhile, no one ever makes jokes about Rei's gender, but it does end up being a major part of the plot at the end. her last incarnation as "the Founder" was, well:
🔵 spikechun official reposted my art for it
which means i'm canon in the game. Kodaka said so. don't look that up
🔵 there is a talking motorcycle who is a butler?
🔵 manji fushicho
(crush on epcot ball vine voice) manji..................
rain code headcanon for you: yakou sings in the shower and it's really loud and completely out of tune but he's having the time of his life. im talkin like grabbing that showerhead and using it as a mic. full on performance shit in there. when yuma first moves into the sub he finds it silly, and shinigami definitely has some choice words about yakou's singing, but as time passes yuma finds himself humming along and shinigami makes fun of him for it. and then seconds after making fun of him she joins yakou on the chorus
the next Danganronpa should have a horse girl and she only ever talks about her horses. you think she's gonna escape her execution because she rides away on a horse but it leads her off a cliff and she splats . her ripped clothing reveals she had a tattoo on her left flank the whole time. it says "fuck"
many of you seem to like this girl. i have named her 駿緋 有馬 Hayahi Arima (or Arima Hayahi, if you prefer the Japanese order of names). she is very small and very ugly and she sucks on sugar cubes. i hereby donate her to the public domain. use her as you wish
