It's quite a lot I hope you don't mind ^^ 7 11 21 30 35 39 59 63 66 78 79 90 97 100
i don’t mind at all!!! thank you for the ask! 😊
also fair warning it’s been some time since i’ve played any of the dangan ronpa games and i haven’t been too active in the fandom as of late, so i may not remember some things super clearly. (as a result i think i just talked about komaeda entirely too much bc he’s my fave lmao.)
7. Favourite class trial from all the games?
i’m sure this is a biased opinion on my part, but i loved the chapter 5 trial in sdr2. i also admittedly really enjoyed the first trial in both sdr2 and v3, because they both threw me for such a loop and i was not expecting how they turned out.
21. Favourite voice actor?
megumi ogata!! 💞💞 her performance as komaeda is what really makes the character for me
30. Which character would’ve deserved to survive?
god, it’s hard to choose. i’m sad about a lot of them dying. i guess i felt pretty sad that rantaro died so early on in v3, after finding out that he had already gone through a previous killing game and survived. it sucks that he went through all of that just to be killed off immediately in the next one lol.
35. A character who should’ve got more character development?
the first person that popped into my mind here was owari. her character really didn’t interest me at all and she went through no actual development iirc, but after finding out that she was initially planned to be a big antagonist, it’s disappointing that instead she was sidelined to be a very one-dimensional character. it would’ve been cool if they at least did something with her.
39. Smartest murder plan?
again i am probably biased here but chapter 5 of sdr2, lol. i mean, komaeda specifically planned it out to be unsolvable, that’s pretty genius imo.
honestly the whole scene with komaeda in the final dead room, particularly the russian roulette moment. this boy is wild.
63. Describe Kyoko Kirigiri in 3 words!
66. Describe the last trial from V3 in 3 words!
bunch of bullshit
(i wasn’t a fan of the “twist” lol)
78. Favourite random/unnecessary scene?
komaeda being butt ass naked showering on that random island. there was absolutely no need for that scene but i greatly appreciated it, even though i dislike dr3.
79. Which character has the cutest design?
i always really loved nanami’s design (the one from sdr2), i’ve even cosplayed as her before bc i really dig the aesthetic.
i do! i think she’s a really good and interesting villain, for a lot of different reasons, and i dig her aesthetic as well lol.
97. Overrated ship which is your NOTP?
i guess kamu//nami? i don’t know how popular that is but i don’t like it. i was going to say hina//nami as well but then i remembered i’ve written fic with that pairing before, lmao. but that was before dr3, to be fair. i feel like dr3 kind of tainted hina//nami for me.
100. Opinion on all the Protagonists!
naegi - i love this boy, he is so pure and good. i feel like i really didn’t care about him too much at first because he seemed so generic to me, but after playing through sdr2 and seeing him appear at the end, i had such a renewed appreciation for him for some reason. his capacity for hope and forgiveness is very admirable, and i like that he was really the only person junko was never able to get to falter.
hinata - like a lot of people, i was immediately drawn to how different he was from naegi, and found it endearing and amusing how he was kind of rude and sardonic and just so fed up with everyone’s shit. despite that, he had a lot of insecurities about being so ordinary, which i find kind of relatable. i also like how despite his complicated relationship with komaeda, he still tried to understand him. i love him a lot.
komaru - i don’t really remember a lot about this game; i actually kind of forgot about it until i was sitting here thinking of all the dangan ronpa protagonists i knew of for this question, lol. but i liked komaru. she definitely went through a lot of development in the game and went from being a scared little girl to a hero, which was cool to see. i also thought her relationship with fukawa and syo was pretty cute.
saihara - words cannot describe how much i love this little emo boy. i’m not a huge fan of v3 in general, but i really liked him. first of all i thought the reveal that he was actually the real protag of the game was really cool and wild (even though it sucked kaede had to die). and once again he was a pretty different personality from the previous games, being so nervous and not confident in his abilities, and actually being depressed and fighting with falling into despair through the course of the game’s events. i found him to be the most realistic in terms of how an ordinary person would react to a killing game scenario. i also thought it was neat to finally have a protag who had an actual talent, and i’ve always had a soft spot for detective boys.
i know dangan ronpa has other installments and spin offs and stuff but i don’t really know any other protags well enough to give my opinion. (well, i did read some of dr0, but that was a while ago so i don’t remember much.)
anyway, thanks again! this was a lot of fun to do!
