>Last thread ended up being Chapter 4 confusion
One fear.

Honestly? i think he didn't care much, he could be lying about his feelings to a certain degree, but the way he treated Gonta to begin with made it seem like he didn't care much for his wellbeing.
The problems i have is if he has mental health issues, they don't seem too be effecting him too much.
If he had just talked to other people like a normal human i think a lot could have been avoided. This could be attributed to mental health disorders, but honestly the way he treats others makes it seem more like he's just manipulative.
I can lean possibly into seeing him as a badly mentally damaged person who doesn't know how to deal with feeling, but at the same time it's made clear he has a group of people who he cares for and who apparently like him, so at the same time he must know what it feels like to have friends and so he must know what he's doing is wrong.

I want to marry Akane and cook meals for her.

The gorilla! There will be always disagreement about any case, this isn't something you saw with DR1/2

With chapter 4 discussion it's the same song and dance. Every. Single. Time.

I know. I remember a lot of people were confused with things in DR1 and SDR2. The Leon/Sayaka confusion being the biggest one I remember.
It's implied that either that he lost those friends somehow(abandonment or they died is unknown) or that ending up in the killing game just drove him over the edge due to his morals causing his coping mechanism. Both make sense with his memories being fictional.
And yeah, going through the game with knowledge he has trust issues makes his character make a lot more sense.

MEOW

Read Zero.

Wait, WHAT? The fuck can you be confused about with case 1-1, it's the clearest case in the series.

Yep... At the very least, /drg/ doesn't believe the wiki or personality switch mention when bringing up Chapter 4 unlike most other places.

>And yeah, going through the game with knowledge he has trust issues makes his character make a lot more sense.
Going through the killing game without trusting anyone makes a lot of sense and I don't see any issue here at all.

I've seen people claim that Sayaka was planning on stabbing Makoto.

A lot of people got confused if Sayaka was just a psychopath from the start or that Leon was just defending himself, when in reality, it's pretty damn obvious neither of those are true. Some people are still confused by it to this day.

Same thing we're talking about now, ala character motivations, as well as some confusion over the exact event sequence, which admittedly is a fucking mess either way and you only need to know how it ended anyway.

>And yeah, going through the game with knowledge he has trust issues makes his character make a lot more sense.
but others distrustred him almost primarliy because of how he was acting?
Maybe i just don't get him because i don't see him as a glass case of emotion but more as a person with many social issues that refuses to try and fix any of them and instead does silly things like start a group to do petty crimes.

Yes, but severe ones to the point of literally trying to hide your identity?

>implying you wouldn't let Sayaka stab you with her futa dick
leon was a lucky fucker

Leon burst through that bathroom door in self defense, user.

>but others distrustred him almost primarliy because of how he was acting?
This disproves anything... How?
All it does is emphasise what I'm saying since it got him what he wanted.

What?

I'd rather get fucked by any other futa Dangan than the ugly rat Sayaka.

It got him what he wanted?
Being distrusted by everyone and trying to fuck up the killing game got him what exactly?

>Literally a clown building himself up as the second coming of satan
Piece it together

You're forgetting to factor in the years of abuse he suffered at the hands of his older twin brother. Once you realize that, things begin to make more sense.

If Ouma really didn't care about Gonta at all he could've pulled this before Gonta's execution instead of waiting for him to be dead.

Everyone distrusting him drove people away from him, just like he wanted and just like I explained from the last thread. Is it really that hard to understand?

V2 Mugi redemption!

Bad Mugifag.

Isn't it shown that he doesn't want to be alone though?
And where does he state that he wants to be alone? I thought he wanted to be back with his group of troublemakers.
he also could have gone slightly out of his way to not have him die as well.

V1 Kokichi redemption!

Trust issues, user.

>V4 Kokichi redemption
Fixed it for you.

>oumafags

>Trust issues, user.
Ok i get it.
Truest issues.
But Why.
Why does he have trust issues.
I want to understand his character but there isn't even talk of trust issues for him in the wiki

>anti-oumafags

V2 Mugi redemption!

>simpsons

First of all,
>Using the wiki
Second, it's not actually stated why he has them(Kokichi's past is entirely unknown aside from DICE), but the fact that he has them is what matters.
I don't get it. Why would you want to put Mugi in V2 to redeem her and take away everything interesting about her?

They just killed the general.

Ah i see, i was looking for character development where there was none, he just acts a certain way and that's how it is.
This is going to be just pure opinion,
but i think seems like a bit of a pretentious character, but mostly in the way people have made him overhyped.

Almost everyone i see discussing him paints him as this poor soul who hides all his feelings because of a tragic backstory who's secretly hyper intelligent, and while that sounds really nice, i just didn't see much of that being very prominent in game. He managed to be creepy and actually smart in a lot of places,
but he still seems to be a massive dick that caused a lot of problems that he probably could have avoided too
I don't hate him as a character but what i do hate is how people seem to be doing this elaborate song and dance to try and paint him as some hero or antihero that was a secret savoir or something

Ultra Despair Boys starring Ouma and Komaeda

V2 Mugi redemption!

She can't

Post pictures of cuties!

I think Ouma's character in the game can be summed as a smart guy who took the course of action that he thought would best serve his own survival and goals while refusing to trust others. I don't see him as some precious damaged baby with mental issues that excuse all his actions uwu. He's a dick and deserved everything that happened to him, but there is logic behind his actions. He cared about other characters to some extent, but he simply put himself and his desire to end the game before the lives of the others when things got desperate.

The whole "But why did he get Miu and Gonta killed if he was against murder?" argument just gets old really quick.

>best serve his own survival
How does that equates into conseting into a press?

There's a reddit post and a YT video specifically pointing out how Kokichi actually does have character development, it's just at last minute in Chapter 5.
You could also count his coping mechanism being pushed further and further as development.

What Kodaka was trying with ouma was ambitious and I respect that. However, I feel that Kodaka put too much focus on very specific things and forgot about the existence of everything else so I dislike how bare bones and extremely rushed most characters and other details are in v3. Also, it's true that he does lack character development because what he does is pretty much dance along with how the killing game goes. However, things like backstories and development are fundamental to create the basis for characters and turn them three dimensional and characters like ouma and tsumugi were meant to hold some meta interpretation so of course they lack that to prevent the player having all the answers to what they need. It's a cheap way to create meta things if you ask me since it's very simple (instead of complex like some people think it is).

Personally, I am more interested in tsumugi as a character because the mysteries she holds really carries meaning from the entire killing game and kodaka built a well thought character without the need to take out the spotlight from others. I can't really find any other character in this series who had this same achievement.

That's why I added "and goals". Him becoming pancake worked better with his plan of ruining the game and he was ultimately ready to die for it. Though I've seen people murmuring that Ouma might've originally been the one in the Exisal which would explain Kaito's script coming out of nowhere, but I don't think that has been confirmed anywhere.

I definitely see the point you're making, i think one of the main problems is the sheer amount of people trying to put him on a pedestal might actually be damaging the character.

As for the whole thing with Chapter 4, to me it boils down mostly to avoiding death. I would have no problems if he murdered in self-defence, that makes sense, but he's shown to be capable of hiding from everyone for days, so it makes no sense to get into a place where you know for sure someone is trying to kill you.

To me, the reason i dislike it is that despite him having a "no kill" policy, the very first thing he decides to do in this situation, and spend a long time planning, was not only to kill her but to get someone else to kill her rather than just incapacitating her or even as i thought it might be, getting her to accidentally kill herself.

I completely agree here, Tsmugi had a lot around her that i want to find out about without nearly as much screentime as Ouma, whereas i feel like to make Ouma's character and motive make sense, he's need MORE time just to sort it out.
Good post friend, cheers to you

>This thread

user, fucking post them for fuck sake.
reddit.com/r/danganronpa/comments/7q3yb4/kaito_and_kokichis_relationship_spoilers/

youtube.com/watch?v=biaTZ8fZrhY

Did I get the right ones?

Kaito called angie a nigger , kiyo a faggot and physically abused kokichi yet people still like him ?????

>pointing out how Kokichi actually does have character development
How could they point anything out when we doesn't even know what his actual character was at the beginning and when exactly he started planning everything? Also with the existence of Flashback Lights and motive videos (which he saw and it must've impacted him in some way) it's hard to say what is the actual character development and what is simple brainwashing.

>Deleted
One of the few analysis posts on reddit that isn't pretentious bullshit and it's no longer there. Kek.
also, it's a coincidence both of those videos are Kaito and Kokichi theme'd.

>everyone praising the analysis
>click to see it
Deleted
Is this a metaphor?

>he started planning everything
Leave, Godposter.
Also, pretty sure that user is saying "last minute" means Chapter 5 and Chapter 5 is unarguably off script so it's not that hard.
Kokichi himself doesn't exactly develop per say, but his relationships do.

One day, one of these tumblr posts will be made legitimately. Also, I want to Kaito to fist me and spit in my mouth.

Okay!

thank you friendo!

>Deleted
Shit. The other one is fairly valid though. She's just a little hard to hear sometimes.

Before I read this thread, I thought I was dumb.
After I read this thread, I think I'm a master analyzer because I figured out Ouma.

Stop.

It's pretty clear that Kokichi is hiding something about himself.

>ಠ_ಠ What I learned is that analyzing Kokichi to the maximum is not recommended unless you really want to question your sanity...or his sanity in particular.
Now you just need to question your sanity and you're good to go!

And I think you have some delusions.

Bitch.

So saying that Kokichi planned his actions is being Godposter now? Play the game please.

Thot.

WHAT IF the next danganronpa senses which of the cast is your waifu/husbando and makes it so they DON'T DIE??

The video is pretty good at explaining it honestly, more of this, less of people trying to justify kokichi

I always try to pick the character that dies, shame they all live.

But my husbando didn't die.

That would be the exact opposite of what it has been doing so far.

I love him as a character, but I recognize that he's nothing that special. He's simply the character type I tend to like.

The main point with chapter 4 is that he wasn't avoiding death, he was ensuring his own survival. The end result of his actions was
>Miu is dead and he knows the culprit
He could've done a whole lot of other things, but in that case he couldn't have known what would happen for sure. Even if he avoided Miu she might've killed someone else and since he wouldn't be 100% sure about it he'd still have to go through the class trial to survive. And he also knew what Miu was capable of after working with her, so leaving her to her own devices would've been a huge risk. If her virtual world plan didn't work who knows what kind of an invention she might've made to kill someone.

If Kyoko was hypothetically dropped into your room, what would her investigation unravel user? What would she gleem without you present?

The main point with chapter 4 is that he had to kill Miu to ensure that his little mastermind charade will work, which would be impossible if Miu would be alive.

How come every character can be improved by having black hair?

oh gosh... imagine useless himiko died instead of angie... The game would be at least ten times better.

But the best girl in each game is alive though. You should just pick better waifus.

I think everyone could else be improved by making them into super saiyans, also its mostly because the black hair fits due to the japanesy thing.

>user can't take a joke
As if you weren't already confirmed low IQ.

Cultists don't have the right to live though.

I wouldn't call it a main point since it wasn't his main plan until after he found out that Miu refused to work with him and was planning on killing him. Though it was part of it.

>Souda
>either smart or cute
rofl

Cuckigiri.

Dumb people can't be talented mechanics.

Miu proves you wrong.

>Brainlets in my thread

She's literally genius.

Well she won't find all my rule 34 porn since my computer is password locked. Don't say she can crack the password cause I have no trace of it anywhere. She will no doubt find my massive console and game collection I don't have much to hide honestly. My room is super dusty though. So I guess there is that.

Yeah, how dare they like V3.

Kyoko is trash.
