So Syobai in a DRA/Sdra2 class swap
Even for a swap as fascinating as the DRA/Sdra2 swap, Syobai’s character is perhaps one of the most fascinating. The thing with Syobai is that he refuses to care for or develop a bond with anyone as a personal rule in order to keep up his immoral lifestyle and not get hurt. However in the death game, he’d have his memories erased of becoming friends with everyone and letting his guard down around others, as is thematically appropriate for DRA and DR1.
The thing is, in the danganronpa games, it’s heavily implied some form of emotional resonance stays even after your memories get wiped.
So Syobai’s like, fine I’m trapped in this death game. Probs gonna kill somebody to get out or whatever, but better stay back, you know, just incase someone is dangerous and to pick who the best target could be.
And then, people start dying and oh god this hurts, why am I so sad, what is this feeling, why am I feeling things, Noooooo?
