⚠️ SPOILERS FOR DR: THH CHAPTER 1-3 ⚠️
hoo boy.
so, due to a lack of motivation to continue drv3 (this game really has failed at keeping me interested and i’m really not sure why that is), i decided to replay some of my favorite chapters from my favorite danganronpa game, trigger happy havoc. i replayed chapter three and chapter five.
RANT BELOW!
(if someone could teach me how to do a read more on mobile or laptop, that would be great)
while replaying chapter three, i realized just how shitty celestia’s conviction was handled and just how shitty her character in the chapter, especially in the class trial and the part where shit starts going down, was treated overall.
celestia is literally named “the queen of liars”, however ever lie she said during the class trial was so empty that even a four year old could tell it was a lie and shoot it with a rebuttal. additionally, her whole meltdown does not fit her at all. for a character so composed as herself to be backed into a corner and react to it by screaming and throwing a toddler-like tantrum is beyond me. her meltdown did not fit her at all. additionally, her being able to calm down from the meltdown faster than i can snap my fingers shows that she knows how to be composed and i highly doubt that she would ever breakdown before being convicted of murder and sentenced to death, had she been a real person and able to make her own choices (if that makes sense at all; it is two in the morning and i’m pissy and exhausted).
additionally, to add onto the fuckery presented against her amazing character shown during the first few chapters of this game, the one main thing that got her convicted was this statement that she said earlier in the chapter, after “hifumi had died”:
“we’re all going to die here. we’re going to die, just like those guys died.”
that is actually SO WEAK. makoto probably thinks of himself as a genius for catching that and convicting her of murder, but hell no buddy-boo. that could easily mean so many different things. here, let me make you a list!:
celestia could have been referring to the people who had died in previous trials, such as sayaka, leon, chihiro and mondo. she didn’t have to just be referring to hifumi and kiyotaka.
“those guys” doesn’t have to automatically mean hifumi and kiyotaka. like i already said, it could be referring to the victims and the blackeneds from the previous trials/chapters.
god, i’m just— i’m honestly just very pissed off at this whole trial. i believe that so many things could have been done differently. celestia manipulated hifumi into killing kiyotaka for her, made an elaborate plan, created a suit that only yasuhiro hagakura could fit perfectly into and then proceeded to betray hifumi by taking his life, which, of course, goes against the plan she made with him. her betraying him literally represents that she knows how to lie. she is the queen of liars for a reason. seriously, kokichi ouma isn’t even on her level imo.
anyways, that’s all for tonight from me! sorry, this whole trial has just got me fuming out thoughts. hopefully you enjoy reading my ramble lmao
