#v3 rewrite

[cyybercyko]

i have an idea for a rewrite of V3 .

it takes place after Kaede dies , where she ends up in the afterlife with rantaro .

It's kind of a AU where it doesn't show the reality of the living but rather the dead where they work together to help the living overcome the killing game .

The afterlife where both the victims and culprits stay is just a void .

So I like to think of this rewrite is the dead's opinions and story of what they see as the killing game goes on .

[analogseeker]

uhh . work in progress stuff or smth for. a rewrite.

okay to reblog

[saimotass]

how i’d rewrite v3

warning: long post

chapter 1:

everything is essentially the same with one key difference

when voting ends, shuuichi is revealed to have abstained, leading to his death alongside kaede’s

thus resulting in a double protag switch, with kiibo becoming the protag

chapter 1 results in three deaths

this establishes the arc number, makes things interesting by killing off three of the seemingly most important characters, and gives leeway for the rest of the cast to shine

chapter 2:

the motive is the same, and maki gets hoshi’s tape

however, maki refuses to trade with him and he gets angry about it

because he’s always wanted to feel like he was worth something, and there’s someone standing in the way of letting him know if there’s anything outside waiting for him, he kills maki

however, after that, he watches his tape and realizes that he’s completely alone

he leaves the crime scene as is, and kokichi tries to throw the trial because he has maki’s tape and has revealed her as the SHSL assassin

kokichi attempts to make it be that maki committed suicide as a means of escaping her past, but he also posits that maybe she was framing hoshi since he was already a convicted murderer

hoshi, having nothing left to live for, confesses, and kokichi gets angry, citing that it would have been so much more interesting if he had fought his fate

maki and hoshi die in a fiercely antagonistic, ultimately self-destructive mess

chapter 3:

there’s a similar motive, and it’s established that there was a pair of relatives in the cast, but one of them is dead

miu has already cemented herself as being pretty isolated from the rest of the group, and people suspect that she and kaede were twins, based on them knowing that kaede had a twin sister

other guesses include rantarou being related to tenko or kirumi, and shuuichi being related to korekiyo or tsumugi

angie decides to hold a seance so that they can figure it out and reunite them

himiko offers to help and it’s during the seance that himiko is killed

this is a 1 victim chapter, subverting the expectation, and also making sense since 3 people died in chapter 1

during the trial, people start to suspect miu, but korekiyo starts acting weird

korekiyo has a meltdown completely out of nowhere, and believes himself to be possessed by the spirit of shuuichi

he reveals that shuuichi was his brother, and that he was vengeful towards the group for not stopping the killing game (making his, kaede’s, and rantarou’s sacrifices be in vain)

he also claims that shuuichi was trying to target the mastermind, but when himiko volunteered herself to help, he ended up killing her instead

korekiyo is voted, despite a couple people claiming that shuuichi would be the true culprit

korekiyo is executed, and in retaliation for monodam having killed monokid and monosuke during the prior executions, monotaro and monophanie kill him

chapter 4:

virtual reality is still part of the motive

angie has a breakdown, having lost the one person that was most receptive to her teachings about atua

miu and tsumugi are shown to be very close after the last few chapters due to their self-isolated nature

angie snaps and tries to kill miu, but tsumugi steps in in her place, killing angie as defense

the world glitches, and miu goes missing for a bit, leading people to believe that she was the victim

when they get out of the game, miu is still alive, and so people believe her to be the murderer

it’s revealed that miu caused the glitch in order to save tsumugi

kokichi’s been part of this too, having noticed how close they were and putting pieces together, as well as eavesdropping and coercing info out of miu

kokichi ouma, revealed as a magnificent bastard

miu begs everyone to vote for her, but tsumugi confesses, and she is executed

during tsumugi’s execution, monotaro seems like he’ll be next to die, but monophanie sacrifices herself for him, in line with this chapter’s theme

after this trial, miu and tenko start hanging out, having lost their closest friends (tsumugi and himiko respectively)

chapter 5:

everybody hates ouma: the musical

after it was revealed that he manipulated the events of both chapter 2 and chapter 4, literally everybody suspects him of being the mastermind, or at least a traitor of some sort

he decides to try and enlist miu to help hack into kiibo to make him a minion of his

miu goes along with it, thanks to some masterful manipulation tactics on ouma’s end (he’s good with words, the shit)

kiibo’s software goes blank for a bit, but he eventually gets better thanks to an unforeseen software update

(during the time that kiibo’s offline, we play briefly as the other cast, who are all either preparing to confront or already confronting ouma by this point)

ouma is also shown to be causing injuries to himself, hoping to die by his own hand and cause a trial where nobody knows the real killer, taking everyone with him because they’re all so bad at playing the game

ouma is the victim and nobody knows who killed him, not even monokuma

everyone is hesitant to admit that they confronted him, but only gonta, kaito, and tenko confess to having fought him physically

miu and kiibo work together to reveal that kiibo was still recording during the time he was offline, and they show ouma inflicting injuries to himself

everyone believes that ouma committed suicide, but just before everyone goes to vote, gonta confesses

gonta delivered the killing blow accidentally, not realizing his own strength

over the course of the game, gonta and kiibo had gotten close, and gonta got so angry seeing kiibo malfunctioning that he killed ouma on accident

tenko and kaito both then claim that they killed him, not wanting gonta to die

kiibo has to convince them that voting for gonta is the right thing to do

gonta is executed, and it seems like monotaro is safe, but right at the end of gonta’s execution, monotaro commits suicide

chapter 6:

after talking to monokuma during the previous trial about rules and what to do if the results of a trial were unclear or ambiguous, they realize that the mastermind broke a rule back in chapter 1

the rule being that someone killing more than 2 people isn’t allowed

when kiibo’s attempting to find out who the mastermind could be alongside kirumi, miu, tenko, and kaito, they are given class files for each student

nowhere in either korekiyo or shuuichi’s files do they mention a brother, while in kaede’s, her twin sister is mentioned

after gathering evidence and demanding a retrial of the first case, kiibo confronts monokuma, believing that korekiyo is the mastermind, having hidden his death after causing the deaths of kaede, rantarou, shuuichi, and himiko

it’s revealed that shuuichi was actually the one faking his death, and that he is the mastermind of the killing game

danganronpa is still a show, but shuuichi passes it off as an experimental documentary on how people can be forced to kill, based on a real life set of video games

he confesses that he fabricated his relation to korekiyo, but that it worked well, as korekiyo was a traitor, having worked with shuuichi on his experiment

he also reveals that kiibo was made solely for the experiment, as a camera and an audience surrogate, making him essentially a conduit for amateur sleuths to solve real life murders on TV

this breaks kiibo and we play as the other four survivors to help him

it’s revealed that the show technically hasn’t even aired, and that shuuichi was planning on killing all of them in order to survive to share his findings with the world

shuuichi is thwarted, and the survivors all agree to die alongside him if it means destroying the video

kiibo initiates self-destruct, but after seeing that the others are safe in a bunker, accepts his death and kills himself alongside shuuichi

epilogue:

the survivors are kaito, tenko, miu, and kirumi, subverting the theme number of 3

it’s revealed that rantarou had memories of surviving two other experiments led by shuuichi, explaining the v3 -- this was the 3rd version of his game

the footage is destroyed, and the four survivors walk away from the rubble, unsure of how to assimilate back into society having pretended that nothing happened

[that-kokichi-kinnie]

k but a v3 rewrite with mastermind shuichi, antagonist kaito, protagonist maki 😳😳

[sappho-dee]

how v3 should have gone

(in my opinion) bc i am still salty af. smh my head.

this'll have spoilers for the whole v3 game so. beware !!!

warning for me having a bias for my ships and favorite characters lmao.

first off. for survivors. id have them be kaede, miu, and himiko

miu definetely deserved to be a survivor, i feel like she had a lot of potential to have good character develeopment

anyway

i hate the idea of tsumugi being the mastermind

i feel like it was set up well with the bathroom stuff in ch. 1 but i don't like the concept in general.

i actually thought she'd be a survivor at first but ahaha apparently not.

i also despise the whole pregame stuff with it being a game show thing,,

so the weird prologue where they're wearing normal clothes and don't have talents is skipped.

anyway, tsumugi shoulda been the OG protagonist,

and the person she woke up in the locker with should've been kaede.

basically, kaede should be set up to be the 'side protagonist' if u will.

shuichi wakes up somewhere else,

but when they meet him while walking around he like. stick with them idk.

all goes as normal up until rantaro's murder.

this time, tsumugi killed him after they set up their trap and all.

and like, she *actually* killed him,

no mastermind who secretly actually killed him.

idk, it makes me sad that someone would die for nothing. anyway

tsumugi is executed,

i have a few ideas for an execution but nothing in particular ive decided on yet.

kaede becomes the protagonist

and shuichi is the side guy.

miu is also a side person, mostly cause of my burning desire for more canon irumatsu but whatever

anyway, chapter 2 is basically the same.

all of tsumugi's canon alibi and whereabouts or whatever

(i kinda forgot about ch 2 its been a while since i've watched a playthrough)

is shuichi's,

all shuichi's are kaede's.

i'm pretty much fine with that chapter.

chapter 3 also stays the same

excpet for i don't really like the idea of korekiyo already being a serial killer since it feels too much like genocider syo,

but whatever.

instead, he killed tenko and angie not to be his dead sister's friends, but because his sister's tulpa (?? i'm still kind of confused on how that works) told him to?

im not sure how to explain, but he still did it for the sister.

by the way, fuck that bitch, i hate her.

now, chapter 4 is where it really has a lot of changes.

in this, the virtual world is created,

but miu makes it because she genuinely wants to try and get tf out of the killing game.

she never plans to kill kokichi.

instead, maki does, and she ends up getting killed by gonta.

i know she's really loved in the fandom

but personally i hate her and her character with a passion.

it's fine if you like her though,,

anyway, maki basically found out about miu's vr plan and tampered with it so she could kill kokichi.

but then gonta killed her and yeah.,

miu gets the character development she DESERVED

in chapter 5, miu is the third party

i havent thought much about this chapter only really chatpers 1 and 4

miu tries to kill kokichi now because she thinks he's the mastermind

but then the stuff with kaito happens and she's like "what the fuck"

everything goes as normal just with miu in maki's place

no major changes to the trial

chapter 6 is also the same;;;

it has the same stuff with the expedition and the search and you find out everything

however this time, there is no secret passageway in the bathroom

bum bum the mastermind is shuichi

he made the killing game to honor junko bc he, like mikan, was individually coerced into despair

so he really loves junko like how mikan did

yep. that's how it should have gone. in my opinion. haha what even is v3 it's obvipously fanmade guys hahahaha

"Rantaro, you don't have to worry about this." Kokichi decided.

"I don't?"

"Yeah! Our reliable detective and Kaede are on the case! They'll find out whoever is behind this-"

"You think so, too?" Rantaro interrupted. Kokichi blinked a bit, unable to even feign annoyance.

"Of course there's someone behind this. This doesn't just happen, games don't just exist. Someone set it up. Someone put us all here like their own personal pawns." Kokichi said, a dark seriousness to his voice. "That person could even be one of us here."

"You think? How can you tell that it's not me? I mean, not remembering my own talent.... could be that I don't want to tell you what it is. Maybe I'm someone evil." Rantaro shrugged.

"I doubt that." Kokichi said with certainty. "You're far too nice to be evil. I suppose you could fool me, but I don't think so."

"And what if I'm the mastermind behind this game?"

"Then I would wonder why you showed this note to me, then seemed surprised when I offered to hold you up tonight. If that's what you wanted- to be alone with me, intending to kill me or whatever, then why would you be shocked? If you wanted an idiot you could easily off and cover it up, you know it wouldn't be me. That's how I know you're not the mastermind."

"What if that's what I want you to think?" Rantaro rose a brow.

Kokichi looked at him skeptically, seeming to scrutinize his very soul.

"Is it?" He asked, finally.

"Is it what?"

"Is it what you want me to think?" Kokichi cocked his head.

Rantaro hesitated. Kokichi noticed. He smiled a bit, relaxing as he placed his arms behind his head.

"That's what I thought." Kokichi nodded.

---------------

This was a potential interaction for the V3 rewrite I'm collaborating on! Not sure if this exact thing will make it in, but I really liked it!

[vfatsd124]

Kaede and Shuichi redesigns for my rewrite!

[dangthoseronpas]

35. What is your honest opinion on the end of V3?

AHA! This is another one I was hoping to answer!

I don't hate it. I just don't like it, either.

Here's my thing, the ending of V3 is, by comparison, sloppy. There were routes that could've been taken that ended up tying loose ends or incorporating parts of the rest of the franchise that would have made for a much more satisfactory end than "it's all fiction!".

And here's where it gets back, once again, to that infamous rewrite. My sister and I have been planning out this rewrite for probably close to a year now, it places V3 on the actual timeline (so they would have ages, and one would be able to tie the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History to the events of V3), places more emphasis on the Gopher Project and Ultimate Hunt being real, ties the Future Foundation to what happens in V3, and gets rid of the fabrication aspect of it in favor of it being a real, forced killing game like the rest of them.

In short, it wasn't a deal-breaker, I still love the game. I just would have loved it more if there were continuities in the timeline in comparison to the other games. Things that may make it feel like a part of the story, and not a joke. So I'm writing it the way I want!
