It was like this at the start of DR1 too - when you have 16 new characters introduced in rapid succession, most with non-English (and therefore not as memorable/distinct for English speakers) names, the names tend to blur together a little bit even if the characters are very, very different from each other. Give it another handful of updates and it should be easier to remember who's who. It also probably doesn't help that the thread will alternately call people by their surname or first name or another (nick)name entirely, depending on whim.

DaveWoo posted:Hair color, skin color, general body type, SHSL athletic skills, have trouble remembering names... come on, the writers aren't exactly being subtle here. Her hair reminds me more of Hagakure's than Asahina's, she's noticeably taller and heavier than Asahina, and the rest of the similarities are too superficial to be anything other than coincidence. Asahina's trouble remembering names isn't exactly the most memorable trait of hers - I had to go back to confirm it even happened. If anything, Owari being scatterbrained is much more reminiscent of, again, Hagakrue. Not only that, but the 16cm difference in height isn't something that could be explained away by a time skip (there was already a two year time skip in the first game,) and their eyes aren't even remotely the same colour. Look, this isn't like Fatogami. Fatogami has the exact same name as Original Recipe Togami, and even the exact same poses and character art (plus a hundred pounds or so.) And even then, it's still suspicious, just less likely to be a coincidence. With Owari it feels like everyone thought "hey she's got a tan and big boobs, she must secretly be Asahina" and I just don't see any similarities beyond those to be expected between two anime-style characters with similar character concepts designed by the same guy. Though the fact that I can draw parallels between Owari and, like, half the cast of the original game is in and of itself kind of suspicious. If anyone besides Fatogami is going to turn out to be someone from the original game, it's going the be the character who seems to be a horrifying amalgamation of Hagakure, Leon, Sakura and Asahina.

It will probably become apparent later, but I can't help but think that Super Dangan Ronpa 2 is actually a prequel to both Dangan Ronpa Zer0 and Dangan Ronpa. Maybe we are witnessing the Most Ridiculously Named Disaster unfold before our very eyes. That would explain Fatogami, I think. Maybe he was the comatose student left after the Incident; he could have possibly have had his memory wiped after the Incident by Matsuda. Still, from what little we seen of Fatogami, he appears to be Togami after he experienced all his character development in Dangan Ronpa, so maybe my little theory isn't correct. Regardless of all that, I am eagerly waiting more Dangan Ronpa Zer0 chapters. I had pictured Hope's Peak Academy as a vastly different place than what we've been shown so far. I am surprised that the scientists were not SHSL themselves at one point, and even more surprising to me, is how utterly amoral everyone in that last chapter seemed.

Another issue with the theory of this being set before DR1 is that all the class photos we see of Togami show him being as thin as he is in that game, without any hint of the increased weight he appears to have here. If they foreshadowed that in the first game with the intent to further explore it in a sequel, though, that'd have been quite some forethought on the developers' part... but no, I don't think that's the case from what information we have from what is - effectively - the first ten or so minutes of the game.

Ugh, I was so good last time and avoided near all spoilers. This is yet another generic warning folks, don't even think of googling, tumblring, redditing, tvtroping, anything even closely related to this game what so ever. I also suggest not talking to any one outside this thread even if you are really good buddies with them or working out at the gym. Edit: I wobbled over that line per the thread. Going to remove it to play safe. Vexrm fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Dec 31, 2012 |

Yeah it seems pretty obvious to me that in the end of DR2 Togami is made comatose while fighting Monobear with a chainsaw, and then Junko airlifts his body from the island back to Hope's Peak, where she proceeds to perform liposuction using no actual medical equipment. The significance in Togami's discovery of the room in Dangan Ronpa 1 is that he himself was the cause of its condition, adding a cyclical subtext to the game that not many audiences would perceive without a more in depth analysis, such as the one that forums users GrizzlyCow and curiousCat have provided.

Are we sure that Togami wasn't the one that was behind the incident? Desecrating a murder for entertainment would fit his modus operandi perfectly. And, this goes for everyone, if you get spoiled about something, maybe it would be a good idea not to tell everyone what you were spoiled on, no matter how vague you're trying to be about it.

Do you have to talk to people in that order, or is there always a monitor close by for Usami to call everyone together? Because if you're supposed to reach Togami last, that'd be like the crown jewel of ridiculous coincidences if you'd played the last game.

a bunch of dudes posted:Dangan Ronpa 2 prequel hypothesis The main reason why I don't believe in this is because of Nagito. He wears the same kind of clothes as Naegi, he's SHSL Luck, and his name is "It's Makoto Naegi". Obviously this isn't a coincidence. Some folks speculated that this could just be a meta reference that the game itself is making at the player, who would likely know of the events of the previous game. Personally I doubt this, because mysteries run on clues and conservation of detail, and all of those things are there for the mystery protagonist's benefit, so they can solve the mystery. They don't find footprints that mean nothing or people that act secretive about their real name because it's just something embarrassing like Donglebert. Nagito within the context of the story is a reference to Naegi. And there's no reason for anyone to aggressively reference Naegi with every fiber of their being in the context of the Ronpaverse before the events of the first game.
