(Don’t give Tsumugi a boring redemption. I’m tired of these redemption arc and coddling the villains. Let her be a remorseless villain that wants to get back at Shuichi for ruining her show. I want that, not this boring “no one likes me” crap. Let her stay being a villain.)
(( I- I think it's best if you leave my blog. Permanently. I'm not tolerating this bullshit anymore. Leave. Final warning. Next is a block. ))
(( But, if you want a story reason why I decided to redeem her, I can live with that.
(( Junko Enoshima. She represents what Junko would have wanted. What everything revolved around, and in the end, how it's all losing fruition. How the gavel had been brought down, and Tsumugi's fate had been sealed. How her paradise, built solely for leisure, was short lived and crumbled away. And then... it transitions into Tsumugi. Tsumugi is not Junko Enoshima, and I think she realized that during the final moments of her execution. It shows that, whereas Junko seemed happy with her decisions until the very end, Tsumugi, although she had doomed herself, realized that her definition of despair and what she really wanted had always been different from Junko. ))
(( Look at her face. Does that look like someone vengeful? Someone who wanted this? Someone who's proud of her actions? Someone who feels no remorse? Or does it look like someone who's realized the error of her ways, but realizes now that it's too late? She didn't realize what she had, didn't realize the difference between her second chances and her last chance, and that negligence was what actually ultimately condemned the Ultimate Cosplayer. ))
(( And so, in the final scene of the game, Tsumugi's regret is written so clearly on her face. She didn't want it to come to this. She never did. I think it was in these final moments of her execution that she realized just how heartless Junko Enoshima had to have been, and that she didn't want to be that. That she didn't want that for herself or her future. But by then, it was too late. My depiction of Tsumugi is based solely on what I saw during her execution. ))
