At least I remember it being similar to that
The twists with Danganronpa V3 could just be Tsusmugi lying to you, but we don't fully know the answer, and it's sorta left for you to decide
The whole twists of "Shuichi and the others were actually shitty normies who wanted this killing game" "Danganronpa 1 and 2 was done by actors" is left to interpretation
And that’s cringe and Reddit. Its poor writing to have a bombshell twist (One that wasn’t even that great to begin with) only to imply later “Oh it MAY or may NOT be true, its up to you to decide lul”
I don't see how it's poor writing to leave it up to interpretation but that's just me
You probably have already but maybe you should think about what you think happened at the end because it is genuinely kinda interesting figuring out what happened
There are more theories that are more legitimate than others
My interpretation is that DR1, 2, UDG and 3 are real media series done (much like in real life) and it became so big, that by the 53rd series, (((Team Danganronpa))) became a corrupt company that does live action shows using futuristic technology and abducting random people to participate in the show
The only person who doesn't talk in the prologue is Rantaro
who probably knew the entire time not to say anything that it was gonna be a killing game
and might have had his uniform from the last show
If there is one thing I can the ending credit for, it wasn’t another “YAAAAAAS HOPE VS DESPAIR” episode like the first two
Yeah I appreciate that too
There's only so much you can do with Hope vs Despair before it gets annoying
Truth vs Lies is a very interesting theme
And that's what makes Kokichi such a great character
He's a Chaotic Good character, and his lies help save everyone in the end
There's actually a theory that in chapter 3, Kokichi took the key card from Monokuma and discovered the room that makes all the flashback lights and discovered that they were fake.
That's why Kokichi never gives a shit when everyone is done watching the flashback lights
He's the ONLY one who doesn't say anything and doesn't care
That they were inside of a TV show and there were people watching
But obviously didn't want to tell anyone because... Why would he?
There's also another theory that he manipulated all the flashback lights and changed them to "The Most Terrible and Tragic Event in Human History" so that he could make his classmates fall into despair so they could stop fighting entirely and the audience would get bored
To back that up, Tsumugi said "the flashback lights got changed midway and we went off script for some reason, but I figured it out and we decided to change it last minute"
Something along those lines
That’s not a theory, I think he outright admitted to this before ||his death||
Oh yeah, that's true
At least he admitted to knowing its a TV show
Idk about the flashlight modification part
I'll have to replay some of the later chapters
I went through V3 again earlier this year so I could get steam achievements since the last time I had played before then was at launch
Yeah he said “I thought if I showed you the despairing truth, you guys wouldn’t want to go outside anymore”
Kino
I wouldn't like V3 as much as I did if Ouma wasn't there
There some characters that are missed potential
Kaito felt forced, so I know why people would dislike him
Gonta doesn't appeal to a lot of people either
I'd say my favorite V3 dangans were Shuichi, Kokichi, Ryoma, Korekiyo and ||Maki and Himiko, though only in the last 2 chapters||
DR2 dangans I didn't really care for much
Hajime was cool, Fuyuhiko carried it and I liked Gundham
Ironically enough for me its the opposite
Majority of DR2 cast I really liked but there was only a few based people for V3
Kokichi carried most of it and Miu was also pretty based
Kaito is alright
Maki is a cutie but I think she should’ve been written better
