It looks like someone tried to recreate tom hardy from memory but the only thing they saw him in was mad max once and they werent really paying attention
oh, i didn't notice that you got to this part already. what happened to kaede was what made me mad and drop the game lol. i read up on the rest of the story spoilers and i'm glad i dropped it because there's other stuff that seems annoying to me too! with how DR treats women maybe it's for the best that kaede didn't become the protag :T
that’s completely understandable! it’s a really crappy move, especially since none of the main games have ever had a female protagonist before. i was excited about it... and the game was actually doing a (mostly) decent job with her, so i was tentatively hopeful it wouldn’t do anything gross.
but like you said, with the way DR treats women, it’s probably for the best that she wasn’t the protagonist for the whole game. u_u have you seen any spoilers for that Ultra Despair Girls Dangan Ronpa shooter game? a minigame in there is disgusting and there are multiple pantyshots for the protagonist (a teenage girl) and another child (who is, like... 10 at the oldest). i’m so glad i didn’t try to play that game.
This trial was wild. I remember being skeptical that it could be Momota simply because I didn't think he would be able to act like Ouma for so long XD At first I didn't get why Ouma took off his shirt either. Or why he even filmed the video. Now I think that he *did* want the case to be solved somehow, because if he hadn't done those things, I doubt Saihara would've been able to figure out the trick.
Haha, it is pretty hard to believe, even with a script. :P
It’s possible he did it intentionally! It’s hard to know with him...
It would make sense either way--the shirt being found and the video were both part of what made it ambiguous as to who it was under the press, but like you said, they both also helped Shuichi figure things out. And Kokichi definitely knows that Shuichi’s the type to ~pursue the truth~ to the end, so I don’t think he’d overlook that.
Ah, there's also been some debate about the line where Ouma says he can't find a game that he's forced to play fun. The original line is 人にやらされるゲームなんて…楽しい訳あるかよ One alt translation I found is "As if there could ever be any fun…in a game like this where you take people’s lives…". Basically interpreting やらされる as the causative-passive of 殺る. This seems to tie better with the "toying with our lives" remark later, but I can also see why it was translated as "forced to play".
Oh, that’s really interesting! o:
On the whiteboard, Saihara's "trustworthy?" in EN and 油断ならない? in JP.The motive video's translation cuts out the fact that DICE is explicitly against murder. The original line was 「人を殺さない」かつ「笑える犯罪」をモットに、愉快犯的な犯行を繰り返すDICEには… I don't know why they cut it out, considering Saihara even says it in the trial, except with the line cut out it feels more like he's extrapolating when he's actually just stating a fact.
That is definitely a weird thing to cut out, because it’s actually important and it’s explicitly there, like you said. What in the world made them make that decision... o_o
Also aw, that part of the whiteboard’s not as cute now. That’s okay, though, it’s better to know~
I'm sorry the whole thing bored you to the point that you started talking about your trip (and this is one loooooong trial) but I hope you have fun in Japan! If you're in Tokyo, you can get almost anywhere using the trains, and you can more or less use Google Maps to navigate the complicated train system.
Hey, it’s okay! It’s not like you put that twist in there, haha. That’s really good to know about Google Maps, thanks! c: (Also, thank you for the playlist! I’ll definitely check it out later!)
Speaking of the end, though, I did have this post and I’m not sure if the link worked or not when the post was first up. If it didn’t it probably looked like I just quit the game before it was actually over, which I didn’t do. orz
chemicalnimu replied to your post “ch6”
Yeah that was it basically :/ I like to pretend this chapter never happened...or something. Eh. I'm sorry you got to the point of "so done with this I'm gonna talk about my trip instead" because it's not a good feeling to have, but it was fun to see :D & I hope you have fun in Japan and eat lots of delicious food~ I have thoughts about the game, but well, in a nutshell - same. Writing here is a pain due to character limit so maybe I'll PM a bit later
That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, honestly! We can ignore its existence together~
And it’s okay! I’m glad it was at least fun to see, haha. :P I realized it was either me doing that or whining about it the whole time (or just posting screenshots without anything between them at all), and I didn’t want to just be whining and negative, so... that’s what I ended up with. (& thanks!)
If you feel up to it I’d love to talk about it with you and hear your thoughts about it! c:
(Also, there was a post that might not have been accessible when the post was first up, so I did really finish the game if it didn’t seem like I did!)
tarifu replied to your post “[[MOR] Shuichi does this and then it’s voting time. Tsumugi says she...”
yep, pretty much the same reasons that made you check out was what annoyed me lol! so pointless. anyway i hope you have fun on your Japan trip!! it sounds so fun, i hope you post about it! ^^ i was the same about fish too, i didn't really like it, but when I was in Japan the family i was with took me to a sushi bar and i couldn't stop eating it lol! it's what made me like fish, so maybe that will happen to you! i hope you try at least a bite ^^
I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one. :P
Thanks! I’ll definitely be posting about it! :D And that’s interesting about fish, maybe I’ll actually try some while I’m there and see if it changes anything! If I nothing else I can probably convince my sister to let me try some kind of fish she orders, haha.
There are spoilers in these replies, so don’t read this if you want to avoid that!
I don’t know why Tumblr is incapable of being consistent between mobile and desktop versions as far as cuts/read mores go, but I can’t fix it. There is a “read more” here so people can avoid spoilers, but it probably won’t work for you if you’re on a phone.
Kaede's such an awesome character and I'm still sad she got fridged :(
I wish she could’ve stuck around at least a little longer... It’s not like the game needed a “surprise twist” protagonist change right at the start like that.
In Ouma's second free time, apparently he says that he wants to play a "Shadow/dark game" with Saihara (このオレと闇のゲームで勝負だ！) and that the loser has to play a punishment game (負けたヤツには罰ゲームを受けて貰う). I guess the localisation saw the Shadow Game thing and made a Shadow Realm joke?
Oh! Neat, thanks! Shadow games are also a Yu-Gi-Oh thing, though I don’t know if they’re used in other stuff because I don’t really watch anime like that. That’s actually pretty funny, then, because in English (Yu-Gi-Oh) they just go to the ~Shadow Realm~ but in Japanese they do have to play a penalty/punishment game if they lose, so it’s like a bonus localization joke... thing. Also, this just makes me think that Kokichi is a huge nerd.
Oh! Also, if you're interested in name basis stuff, Momota just changed from calling Saihara by his last name to calling him "Shuuichi" in that training session!
I am interested in name stuff, thanks! :D I try to pay attention whenever they speak, but since the localization changed a lot of name stuff in the text, it’s easy to miss things like that... I kind of hate how they start everyone off using first names, honestly.
Haha, I like how you're documenting Ouma's nightmare faces. Agreed with Tojo's Argument Armament and execution being horrible, though. Kaede's Argument Armament wasn't as bad, surely they could have done the same to Tojo? And I understand the concept of her execution, to show how determined she is, but the excessive clothing damage was just... no.
He has a lot of interesting faces! :D And yeah, they did okay with Kaede’s, so I don’t know why they had to go that far...
With regards to the execution, I would’ve been totally okay with it if the saws hadn’t just “conveniently” stripped her of her clothing and given her tiny baby cuts, honestly.
chemicalnimu replied to your post “ch2 (pt2)”
Kirumi really gets the worst of it I think... I hated that execution with burning passion. It doesn't get worse than that though. I also don't remember DR1 being so horrible with female characters... Somewhere along the line things got way bad. & I just can't handle Miu. Just. No. Why.
That’s good to know, I guess! Thanks! It sucks that she got treated that way, but if that’s the worst of it I can deal with it...
The first game treated its female characters with respect for the most part, from what I remember (or at least with the same amount of respect as the guys got). Especially Sakura, who could’ve been treated like a huge joke but wasn’t at all.
And yeah, Miu is... the designated “wow look at this disgusting nasty girl” character in the game, I guess. Even the first DR game had one of those (Fukawa), even if she was treated better than the ones in the other games.
And I really didn’t need to see her in her underwear!
Several hours later I thought of another thing to say! I really love Gonna, he's absolutely precious but I fear bugs to almost irrational degrees. So. Much. Nope. The whole insect meet and greet is a nightmare scenario for me... So the students reactions hit me as pretty accurate and relatable haha :') love how Kokichi got a taste of his medicine and was left with bugs...screaming... Seriously though this IS hell.
Haha, that’s understandable! Honestly, I’m fine with bugs in a controlled environment, but they were just swarming all over the place and I think that’d be too much for anyone (except for Gonta, apparently). And yeah, it’s good that Kokichi at least got stuck in there to deal with what he put the others through. :P
tarifu replied to your post “[[MOR] tarifu replied to your post “ch1” oh, i didn’t notice that...”
i haven't read much about it, only that i have heard that the despair girls game is Especially Bad, even from big DR fans, so lol! that little factoid is horrendous! and there's going to be a despair girls sequel afaik!! lol!!!!!! i have a lot of Opinions but i don't want to say something and inadvertently spoil, so, later, i will text dump
Yeah, there was a poster for a sequel in this game, so if there is one being made it wouldn’t be too surprising. :/ The LP I read thankfully cut out all of the pantyshots (and the terrible minigame), but even knowing they’re there is just... why. No one needs that.
I look forward to seeing your opinions once you’re able to share them!
