first for cxt

First for Beat Boy.

First for be--
FUCK!

Komahina is the best and cutest ship.

>beat boy
All the boys are beat boys this time around.

...

...

Beating boys is the best, and beating the best beat boy is the best

Is lying wrong?
Should only those who are prepared to be killed have a license to kill?

Should evil be fought with evil?

Is the end result more important than the method?

Should a corrupt system be changed or dismantled?

It is time again for me to slumber with my many Chihiros~ it's fucking late in Aus, Celes you should be in bed too ya cunt
Goodnight DRG, and may you dream of many Chihiros!

What is the evil we are fighting?

What are we going against that involves extreme methods?

How can we stop corruption if we can't keep pure ourselves?

Indeed.

Remember the plot twist in the beginning of V3 left the guy playing it stammering

"What?... WHAT?!"

...

I want to get locked in an airtight school and fix her with hope. She would try anything and everything to make me feel despair, but I would just laugh it off, because as long as I'm helping her, no despair is strong enough to enter my heart. I'd show her that no matter what she has done, I'd always forgive her. I'd make her food and clean her secret lair, and drag her out to bed if she stays up late. When the nights get so cold that we have no choice but to cuddle together at night for warmth, I'd feel her breath going from shallow to deep as her form relaxes and she falls asleep in my arms. I'd feel her cling to me in the night when she wakes up from a despair nightmare and feel her sob into my chest, first seeds of hope sprouting in her traumatized mind. I'd softly kiss her hair and tell her everything will be okay. I'd take care of her when she gets sick, read all the books from the library and hold her hand so that she can fall asleep. I'd make shitty homemade pizza for her and stay up late with her watching dumb movies, and feel her cuddle up to me when she can't stay awake anymore. I'd teach her retarded drinking games and show her how to play pool in the rec room.

One night, she silently sneaks over to the kitchen. A shining sliver of a blade extends from her clenched fist when she walks into my room. But her hand stops, centimeters away from my chest, and begins to shake violently. Something is wrong. One by one, her trembling fingers let go of the hilt, and with a soft thud, the knife falls onto the carpet. She throws herself on me and buries her face right where the knife should have gone, Clutching at the fabric of my clothes. Her whole body shakes feverishly and I scoop her body into my arms and tell her that everything will be okay, just like usual. Her silent sobbing turns to wailing that echoes out into the dimly lit corridors beyond the door.

She would finally be cured of despair. Because the only thing she can't analyze is love

WHO GIVES A FUUUUUUUUUUUCK?!

Utopia is what one would call the perfect world. In that world you would not know the concept of despair which would prevent bloodshed and violence between different types of despair born from conflicting opinions and viewpoints. That in itself also connects to maintaining hope to fulfill those causes that lead to despair. So hope in itself is nothing more than a white lie to cover up the outbreak of despair that comes from it. Each person has a different perspective on hope so unification would be seen as impossible and that makes way for despair when those goals aren't met meaning a war outbreak.

What Utopia does is wipe out the need for Hope hence eliminating the chance of Despair. All would be one under Utopia. No longer will opinions clash or objectives differ. Mind, matter, philosophy etc will all be one under Utopia. In a brand new world.

In order for humans to step forward towards a world of peace and dreams, a world without hope or despair, a world without lies turned to violence turned to deaths, in order to head towards this goal, they must cast away those foolish thoughts of "reality" that exists in this current world. It's irrelevant.

goodnight my friend

Stfu Lorenz

>It's VR again?! Kohackaaaa!
Is what I'm expecting.

Cancer

What?

Thanks for that (You), user. Here's one for you too

If we are to stop the killing games, we must understand them. The motives, complexity or not. Finding the root cause will reveal more truths than hearing them from the divots of despair.

Understanding ourselves will stay our hands and keep our minds clean. To truly understand despair, find the source.

We must go to Mount Enoshima to destroy the one true despair.

What could the twist be? Especially if it's revealed right off the bat?

>DR1 revealed the missing memories twist at the end
>DR2 revealed the missing memories twist in the first chapter
>DR2 revealed the VR twist at the end
>V3 reveals the VR twist in the beginning
Calling it

cancer is a meme

VR again hinted by Kaede with device on her head.
There will be no murders which is possible because no violence tag on the game. It will be some other type of game.
There's more than one protagonist.
Kaede is revealed to be a bad guy.
Kaede dies.

Take your pick

and boy does it spread.

Would be incredibly lame but I can see them continuing that pattern.

Where is the one where they reveal Kaede has a dick?

I don't think VR will be the "twist" of the game.

It might be the "premise."

In the trailer Kaede talks about "I want to end this! I'll even exploit the class trial if I have to!"

Exploit, huh?

That implies a dubiousness. One would think if she wants to "end" something and exploit the class trial it would mean she'd want to be a blackened.

But winning the trial as a blackened isn't "exploiting" it - it's using it for its intended purpose.

So what I think is that there's something more going on - a bigger mystery - and Kaede is doing a simulation of the trials over and over again to arrive at a greater truth than simply "Whodunnit?"

>There will be no murders which is possible
You, and everyone who says this, are fucking retarded

>no all of the above

I just wanted to go back to the DR1 feels but guess it's too much to ask because Kodaka has become such a pussy.

Watch as Keebo is Kaede's "player piece", and the Kaede we play as is someone else's "piece"

>In the trailer Kaede talks about "I want to end this! I'll even exploit the class trial if I have to!

She just means she'll use the class trials if it means it will stop the mastermind. Naegi and Hajime were no different.

Every DR game has the violence tag on it, even the Reload rerelease. V3 not having it is very strange. It could be VR deaths with no gore though.

>it's just the real Kaede and Rantarou battling each other

That sounds crazy. Proxy battles on different levels

But going by that logic that means that there must be an even bigger twist at the end of V3 like it was for DR2.

For me it's either they're on the moon or time travel shenanigans.

What if all the characters are not real except for two people and each character is a separate personality given persona, and they are trying to recreate the next enoshima?

Holy shit why have I never thought of this?

Now that whole "only two survivors is what ends the game" rule makes sense...

Kaede is a trap, because she's a guy in real life. That would be funny. Maybe the characters don't even look like their avatars this time.

Plus, Kaede being Kiibo would be hilarious.

this is some umineko shit

All the boys is apart of X and all the girls are apart of Y.

Maybe they want to create two of them instead of one and bring back the despair siblings using VR as a medium.

Guess it would explain why Amami's talent is a mystery and why his birth flower is literally Kaede. Might not seem important in the actual killing game but will be central to what's going on looking at the bigger picture.

Though you also had some scene in the trailer that had everyone but Kaede kind of disintegrate into nothingness. Like they never existed to begin with.

Dammit Tokoposter why can't we just leave HPA alone?

Last prize is a short BGM

y u steal my oc

More like create an Adam and Eve of a new world.

This kind of reminds me not only of Umineko but of the final Yu Gi Oh arc where Atem and Bakura were playing some weird game against each other with everyone else inside the memory world as their "chess pieces".

I don't really know, its just me throwing ideas.
This seems more likely I don't really like to theorize until I get enough material to work with. It could be remnants, a government conspiracy, or just random dumb bullshit written by a bored teenager.

So basically Harmony vs Discord on an epic scale?

I want Komaeda to fuck Monaca, I want Komaeda to fuck her and make her feel worthless as he ejaculate inside of her tight ass, I want Komaeda to walk in on her cleaning herself of his cum in the shower so he can fuck her and abuse her, I want Komaeda to tie her up and fuck her while children all over the world watch and falls into despair as a member of the Warriors of Hope is being tortured and fucked by him, I want Komaeda to bake cookies for Monaca and drug her so he can fuck her in his secret despair dungeon lair, I want Komaeda to force Monaca to her knees as he fuck her from behind holding onto her twintails, Komaeda will deny her from cumming for months on end and any time she cums he will shock her, Komaeda will milk the cripple once a month and feed it back to her as the only liquid she had drink other than his own cum, Komaeda will brain-wash Monaca into bouncing on his dick covered in sweat, I want Komaeda to lick Monaca's armpits as he cums deeply inside of her, I want to hear Monaca moan in pleasure as Komaeda fucks her with all his might the whole world can hear the sound of his hips hitting her perfect ass, If anyone else tries to fuck Monaca I will kill them and make her watch, I will make Monaca worship Komaeda's body and dick until he no longer has to tie her up. I will make Komaeda fuck Monaca.

>the twist is who is actually Harmony and who is actually Discord

And the Reload rerelease doesb't have sexual activity tag, which DR2 had. It doesn't mean anything.

Work on your grammar senpai.

But violence is made a big deal of and it being missing most likely means that the violence is at least toned down in V3. It being a VR game might be part of the reason for that to, since nobody really "dies".

But that would basically be ruining the surprise of the twist.

...

It isn't a twist. That's most likely the "surprise" at the start of the game and that they already teased in a trailer.

>The official juzo plushie has the same skintone as the munakata plushie that came out which it really bothers me

Sexual activity wasn't toned down in Reload and yet the tag was missing.

Oh that kind of problem I can sympathies with. I hate it when they white wash Asahina in fanart.

She is meaty chocolate goddess and anything else is a lie and heretical

What if that machine is just wiping away memories?

>unironically using the term white wash
>>>/tumblr/

Kodaka doesn't care about plot anymore. He's just out to make money with fanservice and muh epic twists. Can't blame him since people bitch endlessly when they're waifu dies, which is why he won't really kill anyone anymore.

Then what is the approved Veeky Forums word then user?
Or are we going to let tumble keep taking words away from us and say they have ownership over words you can look up in a dictionary or thesaurus?

Tanned dangan girls need to be cherished and fed donuts.

Kaede is the mastermind.

>kodaka apologist

It's been done before so no.

>white wash

she is not black

Blame tumblr, they don't want mystery nor killings. Just FTEs.
>can never experience my favorite character dying and feeling bad over it again

No one from the DR2 cast died and AI Chiaki is still alive in Izuru. UDG didn't have anyone important to the plot die either. And in DR3 Kodaka couldn't commit to killing Persona and everyone else who died was fodder because they didn't have time to really develop the cast in meaningful way. Kodaka hasn't killed a meaningful character since DR1.

user she is brown, I did not even mention black.
I said chocolate. Chocolate is brown unless you are talking about dark chocolate.
Black and brown are two completely different colors.

Kodaka didn't write the DR3 anime

juzo was literally the -only- developed character of DR3 and he died

Kodaka didn't write DR3 anime.

All the FF members were fodder. He got some focus, but the anime was never his story. It was all about Persona's decent into darkness, Mitarai, and the DR1 survivors.

Tan gal

I'd like to have faith he'd change for V3 but I have doubts on that and the way he's bringing back dead DR1 characters for fanservice, I expect he's going to reverse their deaths as well. DR is no longer about actual life at stake.

He was the one who wrote the story outline and supervised everything so he's just as much to blame.

>juzo was literally the -only- developed character of DR3 and he died

AHBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Thats better

...

...

based valwinz

D-DELETE THIIIIISS. KOTOKO A PURE. PURE!

...

>What is Seiko

How dare you sir....

o god i wish i have this when i was call Pedo for making Jokes about her

Tumblr would have gone mental

...

Shhhhh Juzo is gay so that means he is the perfect character now

So the pattern continues? What's the endgame twist even more bullshit than VR? How will they be different about VR than DR2?

Not only tumblr.

I want to love and cherish Chiaki-Swan!

Everyone is on one of saturn's moons as part of a top secret colonization project

Fuck off Valwinz.

Moon or Time Travel.

Maybe this time as the trailer seems to hint, the other characters aren't actually real and just figments of Kaede's imagination.

AHAHAHA

CLASS 78 DIED BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO PUT ON A GREEN SUIT AND RANDOMLY JUMP IN-FRONT OF CAMERA AND SAY HES GAY
