What do you think his relationships/interactions with his classmates would be like if Ouma was part of the DR2 class?
First of all, I want to thank you for this ask because I have an AU where Kokichi is stuck on Jabberwock island with the SDR2 kids that is a little bit inspired by the fic All My Secrets where basically Kokichi is accused of being a Remnant of Despair by Future Foundation and even though Kirigiri doesn’t think he is Naegi puts Kokichi inside the Neo World Program just to be safe. The reason they think Kokichi’s a remnant of despair that I came up with is that like with the DR1 kids post-Mukuro, Junko and Kokichi were all friends as kids when they were on the street only here Mukuro is even more protective of Kokichi since he’s younger than her. Basically Mukuro told Kokichi not to be at Hopespeak on a specific day because that was the day shit was about to go down and even though Kokichi is suspicious and is kind of upset about Mukuro becoming a soldier he still cares about her so he listens to her and also makes sure none of his classmates are at Hopespeak just in case and then the tragedy happens and suddenly his classmates are suspicious as hell of Kokichi because ‘it’s almost like he knew something was going to happen’ instead of being grateful to be alive which leads to them discovering his connection to Mukuro and Junko and him being accused of being a remnant.
Anyway, now that that little bit of exposition is over let’s talk about how literally any class is better for Kokichi than the V3 kids.
Considering that the SDR2 kids are dealing with Komaeda they aren’t really bothered by anything Kokichi does. I can definitely see him being treated like a little brother by the entire class. Based on the Ultimate Talent Development Plan interactions I think Kokichi’s main friend group would be like a little trio of him, Mikan and Hiyoko. Kokichi really likes Mikan who would probably fuss over him and keep on trying to take care of him because Mikan likes being relied upon and Kokichi would really like Mikan’s kind but timid nature but try and get her to be more confident by making up ridiculous symptoms until Mikan finally calls him out. Kokichi would also have a lot of fun teasing Hiyoko and they’d just act like a pair of bickering siblings he’s definitely quick to defend Mikan from Hiyoko so any time Hiyoko was mean to Mikan Kokichi is there to tease Hiyoko right back but Kokichi and Hiyoko also share a childish nature which would give them a good dynamic. Kokichi would find it personally insulting that Hiyoko gets so tall and Hiyoko would be so smug about it. Though this makes chapter 3 really sad because Kokichi loses the two people he was closest to.
The next people Kokichi would be close to are Gundham and Sonia, have you seen Kokichi’s and Gundham’s interactions in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan they are so good Gundham calls him ‘the clown prince of lies’, and ‘the spawn of Loki’s blood’ and is like ‘there can not be two dark overlords!’ look me in the eye and tell me Kokichi is not having the time of his god damn life when interacting with Gundham. Gundham might act wary of Kokichi at times because he doesn’t want to share the overlord aesthetic but he has shown kindness to Kokichi when he helped clean a scratch Kokichi got from a cat so I do think they’d like each other and Kokichi would love Gundhams hampsters. He might try to steal them and make them his minions.
Sonia would probably be amazed by Kokichi’s lies not in the way that she believes them but in that she just likes hearing stilly stories though she’s probably going to scold him and bring up children’s stories from her country on why Kokichi shouldn’t lie. Being a princess and in a position of leadership, Sonia would definitely recognize Kokichi’s leadership skills and notice how he influences the group and would probably be very interested in the kind of leader Kokichi could grow up to be. She thinks Kokichi needs to have more faith in people and mature a bit before he can realize his full potential as a leader and would encourage him to try and meet that potential.
As for Soda not only would Kokichi have a lot of fun teasing him but he’d also stick close to him in a killing game for his mechanic talent so they’d have a lot of fun interactions as well. And you know how Hiyoko had a lot of fun messing with Akane and getting her to do stuff? You better believe Kokichi would be joining in on that he’d keep on trying to make Akane his minion only to be stopped by Nekomaru who keeps on trying to train Kokichi because ‘he’s too skinny and lacks discipline’ also Kokichi’s interactions with Meckomaru would be hilarious “Do robots have dicks” “You bet I do!” “Do a robot punch!” “Sure check this out!” ect.
Mahiru would keep on trying to get Kokichi to act more mature but would still mother him like she does for the rest of the class and Kokichi would get along really well with Ibuki especially since they both use the ‘chan’ suffix and would probably like her music. Ibuki would call Kokichi her rival for Twogami because of course, she would and Kokichi would admire Twogami like he did for Kaede before she attempted murder for him trying to take charge and keep everyone safe, Twogami probably wouldn’t indulge in Kokichi’s lies but Kokichi would still have fun.
Kokichi obviously wouldn’t be the most suspicious person around with Komaeda there who caused a murder in the first chapter and Kokichi wouldn’t want to do anything that could top that so he doesn’t go out of his way to make himself suspicious especially since the SDR2 kids wouldn’t force him into the role of the villain like the V3 kids did. Before the first murder Kokichi would really like Komaeda who would probably indulge and play with him (because we know how Komaeda is about SHSL’s) though after the first murder Kokichi would resent Komaeda quite a bit but would still be the person who spent the most time with Komaeda trying to figure out what he knew and would be interested in Komaeda’s observations because he can recognise that Komaeda is intelligent.
When Komaeda finds the hopespeak academy files about them being Remnants of Despair and Hinata being a reserve course student he’d also find out that Kokichi is actually two classes below them as well. If he revealed that to the group there would be a moment of ‘so much makes sense now’ in learning Kokichi is actually younger even if at that moment they were all mentally the same age and Kokichi would have to deal with ‘respect your elders!’ for the rest of the game as much as Hajime had to deal with ‘no talent Hajime’ comments.
It’s been mentioned in art books and various official sources that Kokichi loves games so he’s constantly playing with Chiaki who would be super accepting of Kokichi and Chiaki would be constantly trying to get Kokichi to open up more to the others and include him in the group because she’s Chiaki and she’s amazing. I can also see Kokichi getting close to beating Chiaki so she has fun with the challenge.
Hajime’s interactions with Kokichi would be so fun I could definitely see the group making Hajime Kokichi’s babysitter because Hajime is the only one responsible there, post-game, when Hajime has Izuru powers, is where their relationship really thrives though because Hajime can see past Kokichi’s lies and see his real intentions very easily and Kokichi would understand how important it is to keep someone from getting bored and would help Hajime with that. A very good very cute relationship that I want to see.
In the Ultimate Talent Development plan, it’s shown that Kokichi actually likes Usami and enjoys teasing her a little bit but nothing that would upset her, in fact, he just likes confusing her a bit. I think Kokichi would recognize at once that Monomi and Monokuma were made by two different groups and while he thinks she’s mostly useless he’d try and get information out of her and spend a lot of time around her. Kokichi would also be interested in ‘the traitor’ since he’d recognize that Monokuma wants them to go after the ‘traitor’ so he’d be constantly be looking for clues into their identity to try and help them and get them onto his side. So much so that Komaeda would probably know about Kokichi’s little investigation and after the events of chapter 4 try and see if Kokichi had any clues to the identity of the Future Foundation spy.
The golden canon line of ‘boss baby’ is all I need to say about Kokichi’s interactions with Fuyuhiko.
Chapter 6 would reck Kokichi because Junko would reveal that Kokichi is the only one there who isn’t a remnant and how he was framed for crimes he never committed and all his friends are actually murderers. But I think he’d be inspired by Hajime to remember the bonds that he made on the island and also he’d want a big middle finger to Junko even at his own personal cost.
Though I’m surprised that there isn’t more content of Kokichi with the SDR2 kids considering how Tsumugi tried to frame him to be a remnant of despair.
