Rewriting The Flashback Light’s False Storyline!

That story was really fucking stupid, with the whole “meteors, world ending virus and 16 person ark” bullshit. And no, the fact that it was all fake, a storyline from a late season created to entertain the audience, is not an excuse for awful writing. I’m still bitter about it, enough to make this post at 9PM.

The main factors important for V3’s actual storyline are “outside world is hellish and cannot be returned to,” “students = hope” and “Kokichi = despair,” due to their impact on CH4, CH5 and part of CH6, so they’ll be kept around. They’ll just be…in a different context.

Maybe something like this:

…

Due to the fact that all the (big) collaborators to the Tragedy were Ultimates, (Examples: Yukizome and her class, Despair Sisters, WoH, Tengan) society slowly started viewing them as a reason to be wary rather than hopeful. And after HPA, the starting point of the Tragedy, was restored by Makoto in DR3, tensions rose with the fear of so many Ultimates in one place, which had already caused so much Despair, causing another apocalypse.

After the news, and some rumors, that New HPA started allowing in dangerous people, for example, a literal Ultimate Assassin and, if/when found out, an Incestual Serial Killer, protests started against the academy, proclaiming that it’d be a repeat of the Tragedy, and Ultimates start being regarded from warinesses to outright dislike.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, hidden Despair fanatics manipulate the masses and start the Ultimate Hunt.

Ultimates eventually go into hiding and find solace in a secret base. but the Leader of the Ultimate Hunt, who was also a Despair Fanatic for plot’s sake, disguised himself as an Ultimate and captured them all, putting up a killing game to make them suffer. Said leader would be Kokichi in the Flashback Light story.

Kaito’s illness could also be waved away as him getting sick from the Tragedy’s toxic air, and then being cut off from treatment when the Ultimate Hunt started, so his symptoms returned to their worst. Another pro is that it’d make the player a bit more acquainted with the idea of this game being put on only for the sake of entertainment, even if the game itself doesn’t mention the idea. After all, why would hunters keep their prey around instead of killing it outright?

…

The story would still be flawed, it honestly has to be so v3 ch6 can happen, but it wouldn’t be worse than Wattpad Fanfiction written by 7 year olds, so that’s a win!

Prompt: Ultimate Hunt Summary:

Kaito's been cornered in a landfill by the Ultimate Hunt. Fortunately, his guardian angel shows up out of nowhere. Unfortunately, his guardian angel is way too comfortable in a clown mask and a straightjacket.

I thought there might be some sort of hidden image here, so I decided to try to take some of the wavy distortion out of this purple haze behind the Ultimate Hunt.

And this is what I got...

Does it kinda look like a face to anyone? A creepy face?

I edited it a bit more to get an even clearer image:

To me, it looks a bit like the face of Ouma’s “cursed sprite” doing a shushing motion with an index finger.

I don’t know though.

Someone tell me I’m just seeing things cuz it’s creeping me out lol.

(And if anyone more skilled at editing can do this better, please do so!)

Just saw the Rantaro Ultimate Hunt ask and wanted to contribute. I think the first time Rantaro mentions the hunt is in Chapter 1 before the FTEs I think?? Just before Shuichi shows Kaede the hidden library door for the first time?? I don't remember this clearly, I just remember Rantaro in the dining hall. And Rantaro knows about the Ultimate Hunt before everyone else has their flashback memories because his past self mentioned it in the Survivor Perk Pad he got.

I don’t remember the exact moment, honestly, because when I replayed the Prologue I was actually surprised by how much longer it lasted than I expected. So I knew it was in either the Prologue or Chapter 1, but yeah… one of those. I remember he’s walking away from them as he asks if it means anything to them. That’s all I got.

And YES, thank you, I forgot that he had a very specific reason for knowing about it: He told himself about it :D Awesome catch/correction.

/post/180037388499 Tho given the necronomicon it could have been less than that; just having many kids in nightmarish loop participating in various killing games over and over

(x) True- there was the bizarre situation of lifesize dolls left crushed in the big piano, which led a few of us to think that Kaede herself had gotten killed multiple times (which would give credence to Ouma's story where he said that she was 'swiftly killed', and again where he talked about this game being the 'afterlife' in main mode), and those dolls were her effigies. It's a bit of a concerning detail even if there are no (as far as I can see) such effigies in the later executions

That said, the matter is what purpose a game would have to resurrect students in the first place- I'd imagine if someone was behind Monokuma they'd have a perverse thrill at killing and resurrecting over and over particularly if the goal was revenge, but if the organisation connected to the academy was tracking down and collecting Ultimates for a mass murder they would want more in numbers to collect as many as they can. Though considering a Necronomicon could have been used in the past (if Ouma is in fact the risen dead) it could have factored in one of the past games somehow

I was looking at the placements at the trials (sb made a nifty guide here reddit(.)com/r/danganronpa/comments/jpqama/danganronpa_trilogy_class_trial_positions/) and there are some interesting things like Makoto being opposite of empty/Junko's place (ult hope vs. ult despair), both Hajime & Shuichi being opposite of the respective games' first victims; Himiko and Ryoma as local opposite depressed ppl, Checkers and Maki being thematical opposites of each other, etc.

(x) Makoto and Sayaka side by side is like Shuichi and Kaito what with the 'assistant/sidekick' thing too, huh. Plus Rantaro suspected of being the game's mastermind and being put opposite of Shuichi, the game's secondary protag (an indication of falseness, perhaps...), Kirumi - a serious one who ended up being a political adviser - and Kiyotaka - who aspires to be a politician - are in the same spot, Ouma and Celestia, the local liars, are in the same place, Sakura and Maki are physically trained as a part of their talent and share a spot...

Leaving that aside for a sec I felt like doing something with the last image:

A good ol’ target radar out of four of them: detective known for tracking people vs a ‘possibly international spy’, and ‘sneaky slippery fellow with spy-like qualities’ vs an assassin. Getting some real ‘hunter vs the hunted’ vibes through this, hah. A bit of a curious theme, considering that there’s an Ultimate Hunt

#replies #curiosities #Hm.#since the number 4 showed up a bunch :'D #thanks for bringing this to me!#i almost made the thing myself til i realised-#-there was a side arrow to get to this one hsdfhjdfhj #*obviously a reductive way to describe Ouma but it's funny-#he's more slippery than a banana skin on an ice rink #Ultimate Hunt #*ooh if you make an X you can get Kaede #though I got a bit stuck writing about that one so I left it orz

Prolly looking too much into this but once you place Kaede on the protag place in trial (imgurDOTcom/5qOi7dk) you get Mukuro, Akane & Tenko at the same place as athletic (tho not the strongest) girls. Progeny Togami, royalty Sonia & oracle Angie. Sakura & Kiibo sacrificed themselves (similiarly to Chiaki & Ryoma) and were the last classmate deaths. Gundham and Ouma wanted to save others. Also troublemakers Mondo, Nagito and... Shuichi, hm. Tho no Monokuma opposite of Kaede ofc, unlike for others

(x) I made more images of this for clarity’s sake- plus it’s slightly motion-sick inducing concentrating on the rotated image, orz. (Originals here):

That’s interesting! And I just love where Ouma is on both of them- he showed interest in Kiyotaka’s rousing speech in TDP, and his speech about sharing the secrets in DR1 was a direct mirror for Ouma’s actions in the Meet and Greet. Plus as you said, Gundham and his convoluted plot in Ch4 is a mirror for his own, including the ‘supreme leader of evil act’ covering that it was for the greater good, and someone ‘becoming a sacrifice’. Though speaking of sacrifices, Fuyuhiko too tried to sacrifice himself- though not for the same kind of reasons, and it didn’t carry through. Kiibo indeed did blow himself up in the effort to help, though of course we didn’t see his remains. Hm.

While Kaede isn’t opposite a mastermind so much, she and Hajime are opposite of some major figures (well, imposter of one in the case of Twogami, but still an ‘unknown’ at a point in the game), and a shadow Prime Minister - effectively a ‘double’ - seems to be one of the biggest players in V3′s history. What’s more is that they’re also influential leaders, and the protagonists all have to reckon with their effect and influence (or lack thereof) on others.

As for Shuichi, I am wondering if this could do with organisations and positions- Nagito was from a well-off (noble?) family not dissimilar to Shuichi, and had a bizarre situation with his innate talent while Kirumi noted that Shuichi had some untapped potential in him. Meanwhile Mondo was the leader of a large gang and had to deceive others as a big part of attaining that, while Shuichi’s situation of becoming a detective - something driven by his uncle, make of that what you will - could have led into driving the Ultimate Hunt, if his lab indicates. All of them end up with positions as leaders... in a fashion, with Nagito effectively leading as a rival and... attempting to cause group deaths. Hmmmm.

Tsumugi looks interesting too- matching with Leon, who was effectively dragged into another’s plot first, and Peko, a ‘tool’ who took initiative to act on her own. Two opposing situations there, but I found it curious how on meeting Tsumugi in TDP, Peko zeroed in on her suppressing her presence like it’s more plain than it actually is. Although if she matches up with Leon being stuck in a situation against her will, it’s symbolic of her being trapped, too. Whatever way the ball rolls for Tsumugi (hah) she’s a tool of TDR now, although if she was also an international spy, she had more use of suppressing her presence in the past.

I’m getting carried away a little but it does make me wonder how much of the placements is accidental or no - since it would be very difficult to effectively do double placement like this, and impossible to really place everybody in kind - but I think it’s still worth a look because you never know. Plus it’s fun to speculate on it with regard to the characters more on the forefront, aha
