So uh, this is a periodic reminder that this blog (and all of Danganronpa, for that matter) is not safe content overall, so if this is going to be an issue, it’s probably best you don’t hang around here, for your own wellbeing. I’m tagging them as best as I can, but I can’t skirt around these matters forever.
Since we’re dealing with a lot of canon corruption - a common thing through the students and their talents - it’s gonna get dark, and with the theme of truth and lies you can expect to touch on real evil connected to that theme.

To add on: Junko, Izuru and our Ouma are all not on the cover and it's impossible to know the truth of the game unless they're discovered.
Right, and of course each one of those has a reason to be missing in them being tied with another. Junko, a twin of Mukuro. Izuru, a personality of Hajime (so to speak). Ouma, a twin, and with the expressed Kokichi Ouma also being a ‘personality’ of his which is intrinsically tied (if not literally like Izuru).

Now I want to write a story where DICE actually functions like it's supposed to: running the world behind the scenes and all that... But I'm surely writing skills aren't up to par. And god fucking dammit Kodaka can go commit die with all of this teasing nonsense he's been playing in canon...
Not quite- DICE aren’t the ones doing that, they’re the ones after Team Danganronpa who are the conspiracy essentially, who want to bring the world to heel. With the killing game, no less. DICE is a threat to them.
The matter is, Ouma is masquerading as TDR’s ominous Supreme Leader, as a part of his dealio. He isn’t actually him.
Jacks I don't mean to be rule or controlling, I really don't, but I see you in the tags again and I'm pretty sure you guaranteed you will stick to your personal tags? This isn't an attack I promise but...
Okay, the last time someone came to me about this I addressed them, but a’ight, I guess I’m doing it again, then.
First, I guaranteed that I would keep *certain. things* out of the main tags in my rules (such as, You Know What, the thing that got me into the mess), and those months ago when I had my issues, I said I would stay out of the tags indefinitely. Emphasis on ‘indefinitely’. It has a double meaning.
Second, as said, I was in a precarious mental situation when I made the initial rule. It wasn’t long before I broke down and holed up my blog, and was absurdly close to it being the permanent indefinite, if you get my drift. A good few of the times prior to closing I spoke outside of my better judgement. I can’t change that.
Third: please, how many times do I need to say it? Block me if you don’t want to see me. I am not here to cater to everyone, just like 99% of the fandom who dominates that tag to start with isn’t there to cater to me. Do I go around telling them to keep their stuff out of the tag because it doesn’t agree with me, or outright offends me? No. I don’t. And I hate to break it to you, but a character as divisive and complicated as Ouma is going to have a lot of divisive suggestions. You’re going to have to get used to it, and accept that your view isn’t going to be uniform in the fandom sphere just as much as common sense isn’t uniform.
Besides, that 1% who is interested in breaking down Ouma and the intertwining narrative beyond the ‘obvious ploy’ is who I am reaching out to. Those people exist in that tag, too. It’s not you? Then fine. No skin off my back. But for someone who truly doesn’t want to control me, you sure are holding on to a past comment with the vice grip you would expect from Maki around someone’s throat. Nice words can only sugarcoat that for so long, you know. I’m not a fool.
If it’s not enough that I’m thinking through the things I post there more - like I said, besides the odd shitpost for good ol’ fashioned harmless fun, I don’t just post any old dubious context thing carelessly any more - then you should reconsider what you think is your authority here, Anon. Especially when there’s people out there still preaching whatever they damn well please with regards to Ouma’s supposed faults and nary anyone bats an eyelid, despite failing to get everything into perspective regarding his mystery.
And I still haven’t had an answer as to why my own perspective on the matter is wrong, despite patiently explaining time, and time and time again. Literally the last person who came to me on this only had a dismissal of the inconsistency level response *regarding a critical piece of evidence in contention - the motive video - and didn’t even address anything else much less bring a counter-argument. So if you’re going to lowkey preach at me, bring hard evidence. I will accept nothing less, so don’t waste my time again. Any further manipulative ploys will be deleted.
I do not trust your words, and you are overstepping your bounds. Good day.
Can't remember whether or not Angie outright said 'hey, maybe the lights are fake', but she definitely didn't like them and outright broke the ones they were given in Chapter 3. Trust a manipulator/brainwasher to know when things get fishy in that department, I guess.
The funny thing is with Angie, is that she reads as especially susceptible to brainwashing, given how she’s bought into her cult’s ‘customs’, and how she’s unable to really express things properly at times. Like, it says a lot when a victim of brainwashing is catching on to something being… weird.
That’s not to say that all the lights were entirely faked memory, or the brain wouldn’t be able to accept them so easily (see: the swapped Kubs Pads situation), but that’s a whole other topic.
Yeah but Morgana is a stable Persona user, I never got why they established that as fact when you have Morgana with such dreams :v
He’s also an otherworldly being with amnesia. One wonders how stable that could have been anyway considering he wasn’t even cognisant of his full self, thus rendering *that entire point made by him... questionable at the very least
How the fuck did he even get his Persona, was he given it by Igor? Did he awaken entirely on his own?
you're overthinking it. in the jp version, it's not shido mentioning that, it's him literally quoting akechi's own words. the game then later establishes during his boss fight that when akechi talks about his own power, it's specifically the berserking/restraint-removing one. shadow shido's line, in jp, also only species that he's the reason akechi could make his power USEFUL, and in the 11/21 scene he talks about using the metaverse to eliminate hindrances being the proper way to use it.
I just said earlier that he quoted Akechi *because you brought it up in the last ask, it’s not like I misread it. Besides, that doesn’t change anything.
The thing is, Akechi did not specify the power just from ‘special power’ in that quote. Shido would make the connection of ‘special power’ and ‘cognitive pscience’ because of his research as I just said. It’s literally the reason he didn’t turn away Akechi on account of him ‘being insane’.
If Akechi had gone up to him with the explicit offer of causing attacks, it’s very clearly not specified. He just offered up his ‘special power’, which encompasses that and spying on Shadows. Something which he also does in the present, if Madarame and Kaneshiro spotting him is anything to go by.
Also, Akechi begins the scene prior to his fight, talking about how he got the power to go into the cognitive world, and that a god or demon gave him a ‘chance’. As for those incidents, he tells the PT that ‘those are the things that are causing a stir’ in the present.
Emphasis on present.
Again, it’s present versus past. Shido did make what he thought was ‘best use’ of Akechi’s powers in the end. But the point remains that it has absolutely nothing to do with what Akechi initially went up to Shido for in the first place.
