Gundam is what we like to call a Chuunibyou.

Some other famous Chuunibyous:
-Rintarou Okabe (alias Hououin Kyouma) from Steins;Gate
-Owain from Fire Emblem: Awakening

Gundham and Ibuki are both pretty cool. Neither one is The Best Character (that's still coming), but they're both awesome nonetheless.

Apparently NISA changed his name from Gundam to Gundham to get around trademarks, but they made sure it was still pronounced the same as Gundam. Also, he is a gigantic ham, so it works.

As for his last name, Tanaka is a common name, like Smith.

Gundham is way too over the top for me. Yes, everyone in DR2 is over the top compared to DR1 but everyone else still feels like they're rooted by realistic personality traits. There's just nothing about Gundham that you'd find in a real person.

Ibuki though, Ibuki would be my favourite character if someone else wasn't better.

I dunno, I've met people a lot like Gundam IRL. Just... Less charming. Chuunibyou (aka "What are you like twelve") tend to be pretty obnoxious in reality.

Ibuki is still the best and I adore her.

Gundham's Edgy McVoldemort shtick is one of those things that would be really annoying in a real person, but isn't here. Primarily because here there were a good number of writers trying to keep it from getting too annoying, as that wouldn't be very fun to play.

Ibuki's so-random Genki girl thing grated me at first, but I think it was just played up a bit too much in her introduction so that people could get a good handle on her character immediately. She's real fun too.

Return of Mido





: Time to check out this hotel.





: Wow...this is a pretty nice hotel...!
: The Hotel Mirai, huh? It looks like it's named for the Japanese word for "future." When we were told to live on this island, I was worried we'd have to pitch a tent or something...
: If we can live in a grand hotel like this, I don't think we'll have to worry about being comfortable.
: Comfort isn't an option here... We don't even known why we're being forced to live on this island... How can you just accept this!? You're way too excited about living here!
: Well, it seems obvious that this area would make a good base, so why don't we look around for a bit?
: ...

Why is this guy...so calm? It's like he doesn't think this situation is a big deal at all... Has he been through a lot of trauma or something?



: A map will be displayed if you press the Triangle button. I said the Triangle button. Don't make me repeat myself.



: The hotel is a 3D area like the hallways in the first game. As such, there's a map of it. The hotel and rooms are the dedicated Dormitory area.



: To the north, the male dorms.



: To the south, the female dorms.



: In the middle, there's a gigantic pool for everyone to enjoy.



: And off to the right...



: Hm...? That's right... You haven't told me your name...
: My name...





: I am the Ultimate Team Manager, NEKOMARU NIDAI!!!



: Voice Actor: Patrick Seitz



: U-Um...hello. I'm Hajime Hinata...
: Hold it right there! Your voice is too soft! Let your voice rise from the bottom of your stomach!
: U-Um... I'm Hajime Hinata!



: Noooooo! You can be louder than that! Do it again!
: My name is Hajime Hinata! Pleased to make your acquaintance!
: I AM NEKOMARU NIDAI! Don't forget it, even if you go to hell! I am the Ultimate Team Manager, NEKOMARU NIDAI!!!
: Y-You don't need to repeat your name so much. I won't forget it...
: Gah-hahaha! I agree to your terms!

H-He sure is boisterous... It's not just his voice, his whole body seems loud.



: Nekomaru Nidai is known as the Ultimate Team Manager.
: The Ultimate...Team Manager? So he's not on a team, he just manages one?
: He's not just a team manager... After all, he's an Ultimate. He's traveled to numerous towns and played an active role in various sports clubs managing their teams. For instance, he led some high school rugby team full of delinquents to victory in the national play-offs... He also rescued a baseball club on the verge of being shut down, and led them to national victory as well... Rumor has it he's even training that famous Japanese pitcher who plays in the American League.

I-If that's all true, he totally deserves to be called the Ultimate Team Manager, but...

: Gah-hahaha!

But...with a build like his, he'd be better off playing on a team instead of managing it.







: ...Who the hell are you? Don't talk all friendly and poo poo to me, dumbass.

This guy is already in a crappy mood.

: What're you lookin' at!? You got something you wanna say, bastard!?
: ...R-Relax, Fuyuhiko. We're only here to introduce ourselves.
: ...What? Introduce yourselves?
: See, you haven't been properly introduced to each other, right?
: Hmph... ...





: Name's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu... Just so we're clear, I don't plan to act friendly and poo poo with you guys.



: Voice Actor: Derek Stephen Prince

Even though he's got a babyface, he's also incredibly rude...



: Fuyuhiko is a high school student and heir to the Kuzuryu Clan.
: Eh? The Kuzuryu Clan... Don't tell me he's--!?
: I'm sure you've at least heard of them before, right? The Kuzuryu Clan is the largest criminal syndicate in the nation, with a membership surpassing 30,000.
: Which means...he's the Ultimate Yakuza.

Th-The heir to a yakuza clan... And it's *the* Kuzuryu Clan, no less...?



: By the way, mentioning his babyface around him is expressly forbidden, so you better be careful. ...You'll run out of fingers before he's done with you.

Th-That was close...I nearly lost all my fingers...

: Nagito... You're, like, my savior or something.
: Haha, you're just exaggerating...uh, guess not.
: Hey, bastards... If we're all done here, how 'bout you dumbasses make like a tree and gently caress off?





: There's an old building by the pool.



: Ah, no, no, no! This old building is in the middle of a renovation project, so you cannot go inside! It's dangerous, you know! *leaves*

Showing up out of nowhere is even more dangerous...





: Hey, aren't you the guy who was squatting on the beach earlier and burying your face in your arms?
: Uh, y-yeah...
: Hey...you gotta keep it together, you know? At times like this, it's the boys' job to keep the girls safe.
: Y-You're right...
: Did you want me to introduce myself? I haven't done it yet, right?





: Let's see... I'm Mahiru Koizumi. I'll be counting on you from now on.



: Voice Actress: Carrie Keranen



: Mahiru is known as the Ultimate Photographer. She has a promising future as a photojournalist. I'm not an expert on photography but I hear she's a young photographer who has won numerous awards. On that note...she's known for her skill at taking pictures of people.

The Ultimate Photographer, huh... Well, there is a camera hanging from her neck... I kind of assumed that already...

: Honestly, I'm a little relieved. You guys seem decent enough.
: ...Hm? Decent?



: Well, there's a lot of weirdos here. I can't tell if they're really Ultimates or, like, just insane... I'm eager to get along with everyone so we can get off this island, but I was worried things wouldn't go well.
: Get off this island...? What do you mean?
: Huh, you don't know? That's what that stuffed animal Usami was saying.



: After you finish collecting all the Hope Fragments that you earn by getting along with everyone...
: This joke of a school trip will be over, and we can all leave this island together.
: Th-That's all we have to do and we can go home!? Is that true? Did she really mean that!?
: Hey, you should be paying closer attention! This is like, really important!
: Well Hajime, now that you know this, you must feel a little relieved, right? As long as we live here peacefully, we'll be able to leave this island soon enough. So there's no reason for you to act so panicky.
: E-Even so... What's the reason...? Why do we have to do something like this? I mean, to go through all the effort of bringing us here so we can all live together and get along... It doesn't make any sense.



: I may not know why we're here, but if that's all we have to do to go home, then that's all there is to it.
: Overall, I'm glad. I mean, it's really not that big of a deal.

Not a big deal...? Really? We're told we're on a school trip without any warning, then we're taken to a place like this... And then we're told...to forget about Hope's Peak Academy... Is he *sure* this isn't a big deal?

: Hey!
: Eh!?



: Don't "eh!?" me, what about your introduction? I've been waiting, like, forever, you know?
: Ah, sorry... I'm Hajime Hinata. Um...it's nice to meet you, too.
: I see...Hajime Hinata, huh?



: Sorry to disappoint you, but I've already made a mental note to remember you as "Unreliable Hajime."
: It's gonna be tough for you to change my mind. You better man up and try even harder to do your best!
: ...I see you're whipped already, Hajime.
: I'm talking to both of you! You better man up and do better! Got it!?





: Next time, we'll enter the hotel.

: Yeah... Even the inside of this place looks grand, too.
: If this was really a normal school trip, I'd be smiling by now... But...why are we the only ones in this hotel?
: It's an uninhabited island, it can't be helped.

For an uninhabited island, this hotel looks pretty well kept, and it seems electricity won't be an issue... What in the world is going on with this island...?





: ...State your business.
: Well, I just want to introduce myself. Is that all right with you...?
: An introduction...
: Understood, I don't mind.
: I'm Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you.





: My name is Peko Pekoyama. It is nice to meet you, too.



: Voice Actress: Janice Kawaye



: This dignified-looking woman is known as the Ultimate Swordswoman. It's hard to believe someone with a cute name like Peko Pekoyama could be so skilled with a blade. I've heard she's a kendo master and that most adult men don't even stand a chance against her.

Well, there's definitely something up with her.. Her eyes are really intense.

: If what that rabbit said is true, we are expected to live together on this island.
: Yeah, you're right...



: It is necessary for men and women who live together to respect each other. Don't try anything inappropriate...
: I would prefer...not to kill anyone.
: Kill...? Isn't that sword on your back made of bamboo?
: Though it may seem impossible to kill someone with this, a misaimed blow can be fatal.
: Well, an aimed blow can be fatal, too...
: ...

...I'll keep that in mind.







: ...

There's some girl playing an arcade game, and she looks completely absorbed by it...

: ...



: Hajime, you haven't properly introduced yourself to her either, right?
: Y-Yeah...you're right...

She seems really focused on her game, but I guess I should try to talk to her.

: Um, excuse me? I'd like to introduce myself...
: ...
: ...Hey, Chiaki?



: Oh, sorry... I must've been...a little too focused on my game...
: A little...? Are you sure about that?
: Let's see... Oh, right, introductions. Got it. ...





: I'm Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer. Video games are my hobby, and I'm a fan of all genres. ...
: Nice to meet you.



: Voice Actress: Christine Marie Cabanos



: I'm Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you, too...
: ... ...
: Yeah, totally.
: It seems like this conversation is going rather slow...
: Well, she is gaming right now...



: It's more like... ...
: I'm the kind of person who has to gather my thoughts before I can start talking. Like, I can't talk that well unless I've already prepared everything I want to say in my head... Especially when I'm meeting new people... Well, if I get used to them, I can usually talk a little faster.

...She's still focused on her game, and she hasn't looked at me at all... She may be the Ultimate Gamer but how can she play video games at a time like this...?



: Yaaaawn...
: ...I'm sleepy.





: Let's go upstairs.



: So...this is the hotel restaurant.
: It's enormous. We could easily hold a banquet here. It kind of has this tropical, open country feeling.
: ...Open? Even though we're stuck on this island?



: Are we really stuck here...?
: What else could it be...?
: ...
: Oh well...let's finish introducing ourselves first. Look, there are two people talking over there.





: That's right... I'm having a hard time because it's full of poison. It really sucks. Speaking of which, it'd be great if you could use your mouth to suck it out...
: Poison...I see...
: H-Hey...do you guys have a moment?
: Whoa...denied...

Denied?





: Hello, it is nice to meet you.
: H-Hello...my name is Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you too.
: Why, hello there. You must be the new guy.





: My name is Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I'm known as the Ultimate Cook...
: But could you guys call me the Ultimate Chef instead? It has more of a...big-city flavor to it, ya know?



: Voice Actor: Todd Haberkorn

: Mmhmhm, I hope we get along well.



: Oh, that reminds me, I have not properly introduced myself either. I am terribly sorry to keep you waiting!





: My name is Sonia Nevermind.



: Voice Actress: Natalie Hoover



: I am a foreign exchange student from a small European kingdom called Novoselic. I may cause trouble here and there, but I hope we can get along well.
: S-Same here... I hope we get along, too.

White procelain skin... Sparkling blue eyes... And her hair glitters like fields of wheat... It's like...she has this mysterious charm that I want to gaze at forever...

: ...Are you enchanted? Well, that probably can't be helped. She's known as the Ultimate Princess, which means she's actual royalty.

The Ultimate Princess...? Normally I'd be surprised to hear that, but... It's not just her beauty, she's just so graceful... I'm completely at ease even though she's a real princess.

: Um, this may be rude of me to say, but...truthfully, I feel happy.
: Huh? What...are you happy about?



: In my home country, I...did not have a single friend my age whose standing in society matched my own. So, to be able to do something like this with everyone is a new experience for me...
: ...I shall extol your virtues.
: "Extol my virtues"...? Th-Thanks.

What the...? I suddenly feel the urge to drop to one knee and bow.





: H-Hey, you three, am I being left off the menu or something?
: No...that's not it...
: Oh Teruteru, it's so like you to check out the restaurant first. As the Ultimate Chef, do you like it?
: Mmhmhm...I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested. And since I do not want to be a liar, then truthfully...
: Yeah, I like it.
: Though I like the big-city flavor of my hometown, a country atmosphere like this is also splendid. Mmhmhmhmhmhm...!
: Hey, are you...?



: Refined? Cultured? Guilty as charged!
: No, not that... You just don't seem very worried, huh?
: Worried? What's there to worry about? Actually, I'm really happy.
: Happy? Why is that...?
: If I can get serious real quick... I have a sneaking suspicion that Miss Peko is actually a bit of a freak, if you catch my meaning. What do you think?
: ...What?





: She's probably wearing a black thong, too. What are your thoughts on that? Now then, shall we discuss this somewhere privately? C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
: ...No thanks.
: Well, putting that aside for now... This might also seem unexpected to you, but... I feel like Miss Sonia over there has a good chance of putting out. You see, everybody knows princesses are groomed to lack common sense, right?
: For example, I could tell her my "loins" are full of poison and ask her to suck it out...

Is that...why he was talking about poison earlier?





: ...Pardon me, what are you talking about?
: We'll discuss this later!
: ...I'd better not see you try that again.
: Anyway...when I fantasize about stuff like that, I can't help but look forward to living on this island.
: When it comes to cooking and love, passion is the most important ingredient. Mmhmhmhmhm!

This guys seems...dangerous, but for a completely different reason.



: There's an exit down to the pool from the restaurant.



: Quick check on our Pet and we can see it's been doing its business. Cleaning just entails getting rid of it.



: We're most of the way to having everyone's first Hope Fragment.
