Thread 724029129

Surely the first case kills one of Nagito, Hajime, or Chiaki, but which one?

>>724029129 (OP)
Nagito. Chie's the killer. Will be kino.

If they kill Nagito first nobody will play the game

Yes

>>724029129 (OP)
Hajime’s the most likely, he’s not that popular and killing the MC is still unexpected and shocking enough. Chiaki’s the next most likely, she’s popular but people going into 2x2 already know the twist of her plus she got a lot of screentime in the main game. Still after the murder/torture porn backlash in DR3 I can see the writers being more merciful this time to /our girl/, it could go either way. Killing Nagito would piss most of the fanbase off and not in a fun way, his chaotic bullshit is what drives most of the story. I don’t see him dying.

>>724031660
The twist is that it's a Persona 4 crossover? I guess I wouldn't complain...

He's the most popular MC, and top-5 overall. Not that I agree with it.

>>724029129 (OP)
It's going to diverge once Komaeda does the Russian roulette thing. He's going to pull the trigger, and his luck's going to run out and he's going to straight-up fucking die. Screencap this.

Danganronpa: Based
Hundred Line: Woke

That's retarded.

>>724032423
>Hajime’s the most likely, he’s not that popular and killing the MC is still unexpected and shocking enough
I thought Hajime too but it seems unlikely they'll just repeat it after killing Kaede in V3. Definitely don't think it will be Nagito. I'm guessing the twist will be something that completely shakes things up instead of simply changing the murder order. It would be too predictable and boring if you just know they are killed in nearly reverse order. The entire cast will change in one big moment killing a huge portion and introducing outside characters. Either new characters entirely or just from other games.

>>724032423
>I can see the writers being more merciful this time to /our girl/

Imagine building an entire story around "despair!" bullshit, and chickening out cause "oops, *too* much despair!"
Nah, I hope she dies first.

The alt route should be about fixing Junko and marrying her.

>>724033970
Dang it ron paul isn’t full edgelord aside from the anime though. There’s always been some levity to all the despair and murder.

>>724034305
What's edgelord about the anime?

>>724033283
Hopefully the VA doesn't die this time.

>>724034860
It was all very humorless. Even the color palate was overtly dark compared to the game, everyone was wearing gray suits or brown school uniforms. If it wasn’t for the characters and pink blood you’d probably wouldn’t know it was the same series.

>>724035291
>If it wasn’t for the characters and pink blood
It was red in the Future Arc

>>724029129 (OP)
having a 2-victim first-case would be pretty nice as a change of pace

>His design was decidedly based on Uncle [REDACTED]
What did Kodaka mean by this?

>>724035351
>a 2-victim first-case
1-1 technically

>Original Concept and Trick Ideas Takekuni Kitayama, Kazutaka Kodaka
Get ready for more rube goldburg machine murders with various objects used in unconventional ways

>>724035527
oh true

>>724035456
Based off of Uncle carl

Yes

School uniforms are sexy. Is that so bad?

>>724036592
fun fact peko was going to resemble a food mascot as well but kodaka demanded they change it
so all you peko fans say thank you to kodaka

>>724036817
they need to stop doing these visual gag characters, no one likes any of them

>>724039335
Ryoma was cool

>>724039335
It's funny to think that Hifumi is the last male character to die in DR1 whereas in every subsequent entry the weird cartoony character is consistently the first death after the obligatory shocking red herring death(s), even in DR3.

>>724039335
I don't know why they keep making them, it's clear no one likes them.

>>724029129 (OP)
The Chiaki AI gets taken over by the Junko AI so we have Junko in DR2 with Chiaki's avatar.

I'm looking forward to the return of Ikoroshia
Also Despair Searching is great but I don't like Hope Searching

>DANGANRONPA ENDS FOREVER! NOW! BEFORE YOU ALL CAN MILK IT
>10 years later, money depleting, subsequent IPs flopped
>now wait a minute....

Will this meta-narrative tie into this?

>>724042221
>ends Danganronpa
>proceeds to make almost nothing but not-Danganronpa games with the same art, music, writing and characters
>now instead of a sequel to V3 we get a DR2 spinoff scenario
this is all Kodaka's way of saying V3 was a mistake

>>724029129 (OP)
I don’t believe for a second that it will actually happen, but I want Nagito to die early on solely for the fact it would make a bunch of fujos melt down and I’d find that really funny

I’m excited to see the new executions. They can’t go any worse than Mikan blasting off again like fucking team rocket at least.

What would cause the most seething?
>Nagito dying right at the start
>Teruteru surviving
>Fuyuhiko outliving Peko again
>Hiyoko and Mahiru both dying again
>2 or more repeat culprits
>3 or more repeat victims

>>724043475
The culprits one is the most important imo. I'd want my favorite characters to get a cool memorable cutscene

>>724043475
Do you even need to ask
Nagito dying at the start would cause a nuclear meltdown

>>724033283
The first va was perfect, she really sounded like some creepy doraemon. Second one was too cocky to be a good Monokuma

>>724043623
To be honest culprit is almost inherently a more narratively satisfying role than victim (the exceptions being the end-game victims that are essentially also culprits) since it pretty much necessitates that they get a lot of focus in at least one trial and a big grandiose death scene.

>>724043917
It's what a lot of people are at least semi-expecting since it's an obvious choice for a surprising first death that would shake up the rest of the story.

>>724043064
I want Mikan to redeem herself and love herself

>>724042703
I expected worse but once I played v3 turns out even the epilogue implies Junko and the FF might have been real.
I think Junko existed, and the real event was Danganronpa Distrust but cops never uploaded the real photos so instead they made a Danganronpa game as an over the top retelling of the events

>>724044137
True but Nagito's fanbase is almost as crazy as he is
Although I guess Kodaka is no stranger to making controversial decisions

>>724039335
I like beta ibuki

>>724029129 (OP)
My money is on Hinata accidentally killing Komaeda while they are exploring the boat or something there somehow awakening Kamukura.
