were the v3 casts' talents,, not real? kaito mentioned not having one, and monokuma said maki wasn't the world class assassin they thought she was. does that mean danganronpa v3 really was fictional?

yup! they're not ultimates! but most of them are still into the fields we associate them with. ryoma's insane at tennis, kaede is devoted to piano, gonta studies bugs etc. it's just all the backstories relating to those talents aren't real. with some exceptions, i like to think tsumugi didn't assign the talents and instead suuuuper exaggerated/dramatized what was already there

thoughts on certain changes and retcons dr3 made? some notable mentions are chiaki being a real person and not an ai, hajime retaining izuru kamukuras talent and having heterochromia, brainwashing videos, kamukuras hair instantly growing several feet in the time of the project, the fact that class 77 talked to junko like,, once before becoming despair, brainwashing videos, junko and mukuro's relationship, BRAINWASHING VIDEOS-

sorry for the long rant i am mad at dr3.

it was a really cool anime, and all of these things worked in a.......self-contained way. i mostly have strong thoughts about chiaki being a person, because i love the anime's explanation for why she ended up becoming an ai..manifesting because of the entire class longing for her, it's so damn sweet. buuut it comes at the cost of chihiro having been the one to create her. so. by default i go with chihiro options. it's how i'm wired.

the brainwashing stuff is okaayyy but i'd rather it be on top of junko actually sinking her teeth into the entire class on an individual level. like. an episode a character. and an ova for each character too, cowards

hhrmm for bus au purposes basically the only things you've listed here that i want to keep are hajime having all izuru's talents, maybe the heterochromia, and some type of brainwashing should be involved because 1. angst and 2. ryota
