Anyone who said that this was getting too cartoonish and self-induldgent seems to have been right. Not to sound (too) whiny, but I'm pretty sure every student in DR was introduced in a third of the linespace Gundam here got. Or maybe I just don't like his gimmick. Souda is cool though. His design is great, because it contrasts with and thus emphasises his chillness. We already have many intensely emotional characters, so a chill blue-collar type is refreshing.

Bellmaker posted:Sonia is gonna be the more interesting one, the question is if she's playing it straight by being so naive/lonely or if she is running a long con. I think Sonia is literally playing a con. She even has the exact same head-tilt as Celes, I think, so she could conceivably be a Super High-school Level Con Artist.

Patware posted:Yeah, people need to remember that guys like Hanamaru not only exist but are pretty common out there in the world. In general, goons gettin' mad about sex being mentioned at all is pretty distressingly par for the course. I'd go a step further and say that goons are projecting their own awkward teenage selves onto Hanamaru. They immediately recognised Hanamaru as one them, didn't they?

Saionji seems to be shaping up to be a great character for two reasons. First, they aren't even hiding her psycho side. I mean, even with Fukawa (and maybe some DR2 characters  ) you had the pretence of normalcy. Here they seem to be going, "she crazy man, just deal with it". That's why I'm going to guess that she is the Syo of DR2: amusingly psychotic, but too obvious about it to actually murder anyone. Secondly, she's crazy in a very distinctive manner instead of just rehashing Syo. orenronen posted:
I've come to the conclusion that anyone who seems more like Togami than Togami himself edit: the coffee is to keep him awake in case Syo comes at night ( ). I guess that's another strike for the "real Togami" argument.

So this is the second time Togami has some plot-revelant information that he doesn't share concerning something named after a fictional creature. He even uses the same phrasing as when he talked about Fenrir. It seems to be intentional, except earlier he was interrupted instead of just refusing to talk. orenronen posted:Addendum Crossdresser crossdresser crossdresser BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jan 3, 2013 |

I actually also think it's too obvious to actually happen. Kuzuryuu can just as easily be an insecure boy trying to live up to the idea of an ultra-masculine gangster. But then again, that's also a bit obvious, because even while discounting the idea of Kuzuryuu being a crossdresser, he is a rather obvious reflection of Chihiro, and even more obviously of Mondo: he's trying to fit into a rigid standard of behaviour, and reacting violently when the resultant image is threatened. It doesn't really matter if he is a she or not. Everyone has already made the Togami connection, but I think he's more of a reflection of Mondo (and by extension, Chihiro). Togami is naturally arrogant, but Kuzuryuu is always compensating for something, and his character interactions consist of anger and dismissal. Going further with this, I think the most natural way for him to develop as a character is the primrose path of bromance. Then again, he has been barely introduced, so this can probably be safely ignored. E: Skunkrocker posted:The big breasted athelete is a moronic whore. That's some rather unfortunate phrasing. You probably mean that she is sexualised/objectified constantly, like Asahina turned up to 11. E2: At least I hope so. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jan 3, 2013 |

Togami, becuase Togami, and Sonia, because she suddenly broke character in an amazing manner. I think it'd be best to refrain from declaring someone "the best character" because the title holder keeps changing with every update.

slowbeef posted:Absolutely nothing and I really only brought it up to say, "If you're gonna have a theory, back it up with some content from the thread rather than just gut feelings or what you think the authors might do. Like this..." Sorry.  It's really embarassing in retrospect. I'm also sorry for the huge derail it caused. But in my defense, I wasn't the first to guess if you were talking about the "crossdresser crossdresser crossdresser" thing, and I said it at least semi-jokingly. But in actually interesting/relevant topics, I think Hajime Hinata is a non-SHSL impostor, and his memory has been erased in order to cover up the bureaucratic SNAFU that managed to get him here.

Now I'm certain that Monobear really has hijacked Monomi's operation. Junko Enoshima's/Monobear's plan relied on the Hope's Peak students not realising that they were friends so that they would kill each other. And if the Jabberwock students have already befriended each other or simply known each other for years before the events of Super Dangan Ronpa 2, the New Monobear wouldn't want them know that, since they could hesitate in killing each other. So unless Monobear is able to really twist the truth or turn them against each other, I don't think the Jabberwock students are really old friends.

Armanky posted:I agree, if somebody is proven to have attempted murder and failed, it's something they'll have to deal with for the rest of the game. If this turns out to be the case with Nagito, it'll make his arc considerably more interesting, since up to this point he's just been the really friendly and sociable and ambiguously related to Naegi in some way. Not to get too armchair-psychoanalyst, but this also applies to the writers and the audience. I think someone explained it best back when Hanamura was introduced: the reason people immediately loathed him was because most probably actually knew people in real life who where huge creeps or maybe were even subjected to sexual harassment by said huge creeps. Others, like me, just found him cartoonishly goofy, probably because they didn't have the same frame of reference. Now apply this to Syo: exactly how many people would be offended by the presence of a cartoonishly over-the-top serial killer? Serial killers are just way beyond most people's everyday experience: they rarely have family, loved ones or acquaintances who were murdered in a horribly brutal manner, and even when they have, it probably wasn't by a serial killer. It's kind of incomprehensible for most people, including the writers of Dangan Ronpa, and I think this greatly influenced the writing of the game: Syo is only threatening for about a minute before she becomes a comic relief character, and the fact that she has brutally murdered people does not apply because neither other characters in DR nor the audience even get to know his victims. I think if her background and her victims were elaborated upon, she would actually come off as despicably monstrous instead of wacky. TL;DR: The monkeysphere.

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:In the class trial environment, Hinata's stoic composure is particularly notable. He dominates discussions, shutting down argumentative classmates with sharp words as often as with evidence bullets. He doesn't panic and seize up like Naegi would if a trial took an unexpected turn. He's confident, he's charismatic, and he's genuinely ruthless at times. I've brought it up before, but Hinata's attitude is of a court officer, a politician, or a leader of some sort. Super High-School Level  It honestly sounds very plausible, since it means we've been seeing his SHSL talent in action the whole time, like with Kirigiri. If he's a SHSL Leader, he could've been mind-wiped to stop him from dominating the whole class for some reason or another.

Komaeda, you bastard. I hope you get what's coming for you.

Kirakira seems like a pretty obvious Chekhov's Gun/Serial Killer. I think Syo was mentioned once (as a possible mastermind) in Chapter 1 in DR1 before she became even remotely important. Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Between this and Hanamura's advances in the previous chapter, Sonia doesn't seem to understand what a common citizen goes through in his day-to-day life. I'm led to wonder whether Sonia was ever outside her palace prior to arriving at Hope's Peak. Just try to find someone who was born to an upper class family and isn't horrible out-of-touch with common people. It's how you get people like Mitt Romney.

Pick posted:That's what I was thinking. Long-term cryostasis; perhaps they never moved an inch. I've been convinced from Day 1 that the Jabberwock gang (minus Togami and maybe Nagito?) was in long-term cold sleep after entering Hope's Peak Academy because it would make it implausible for them not to notice some changes in their bodies othat happened between entering high school and entering Jabberwock Isle (I'm assuming that they entered Hope's Peak at the same times as the DR1 gang and that at least a year has passed between the events of DR1 and beginning of DR2, as evidenced in Togami's girth).
