Hobgoblin2099 posted:Yeah, it's not really airtight logic, but it's more "I'd rather be manipulated by someone who helps me get free from abuse than manipulated by someone that makes me want to kill myself". Pretty much. I mean, Nagisa also says that Junko "showered [them] with love and affection", and for children who to this point have basically only known horrific abuse from their parents or negligence from their school (who just stuffed them into the "problem child" class with no intentions of addressing their problems), I would figure that meeting somebody who literally pulled them from the edge of a building, gave them a dream to live for, taught them that they don't need to just take their abuse and can actually fight back, and showed them the love they never got from their family would probably make me want to deify them as well. Sure, we know Junko is just putting on a front and doesn't actually love anything but despair, but they don't know that. For them, doing what Junko wants them to do is just repaying what she has given to them. There's a reason she's managed to create a personality cult that hosed the world up almost beyond repair. Random side thought: You should sympathize with the Warriors of Hope at least to the point that you believe they can be redeemed - or rather deprogrammed. Why? Because that's what Makoto would believe. After all, the Warriors of Hope are basically just kid versions of the Remnants of Despair, and he managed to deprogram them in DR2 through the Neo World Program. And hey, who better to know who to believe in than the Ultimate Hope, right? And I'm sure that while the Warriors of Hope have committed an atrocity, it was at least confined to a city. The Remnants hosed up the world. No, I'm not biased at all, why do you ask?

I'm kind of mixed about it. On one hand, we see Nagisa here interacting with Komaru and Toko without any hostility, even if it is to kick them out of the game. It is partially because the WoH are in a position of vulnerability, so they're able to compromise a bit. That does suggest that maybe down the line things could work out. Maybe. At the same time, mass murder and implied brainwashing is kind of a big thing to overlook. But then again, the DR2 cast did basically the same (brainwashing aside) and we're supposed to like them as well, so... I guess this kinda ties back to "I hate that the victims are largely faceless" because it almost feels like the series is saying "Don't worry about the scores and scores of people getting slaughtered like cattle." I mean, one of our major characters is a serial killer, enamoring as her zaniness is. That's a touch disconcerting.

The DR2 crew probably did brainwashing on other people as well, whether through music or dance or Sonia's personality they certainly guided others into sharing in despair.

 Alright, time to check out this secret passageway.     This is it. Nagisa then shoves the small shrine over.   Stairs? This is the secret passageway we've prepared in case of emergency. Go through here, and you can get outside the town.  ...What are you doing? Hurry up and leave. ... Hey, what's the hold up? If you just go through here, you'll be outside of the city. Didn't you want to run away!? Didn't you want to escape this town!? Th-That's right, that's...what I've always wanted. At least that's...what I thought... Toko... Is it really okay for me to go? D-Do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me... Not anymore. ...  ♪ BGM: Abnormality on the Girls' Front Line ♫ I'll just answer the question that's probably on your mind right now. No, nobody's going to acknowledge that Nagito's had his face drawn on. It's just a thing now.  You? Why are you here? Why am I here...? To persuade her to stay, of course. So that our boring and common protagonist who has no distinct characteristics doesn't just quit. ...Huh? ... Komaru Naegi... Though you are "normal," not an Ultimate, or even a part of Future Foundation... I really do think quite poorly of the idea that you would abandon your friend and run off alone. Are you really going to just run away like this? Is your conscience clear? Stop it! What are you saying!? She's about to leave for good! That would be quite bothersome for me, y'know? That is why I must convince her to stay. ...Huh? It would be disappointing if she did not see the game through to the end. How it was meant to be. D-Don't just go speaking your mind without permission! You're a servant! Listen to me! In order to see our paradise, this girl cannot stay here! So then I must ask, which is more important to the Warriors of Hope? Paradise or the game? Wh-What are you talking about? It's obviously-- The game, of course. What? You're a smart one, you must be at least vaguely aware. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sneaking about. You *could* have openly proposed a halt to these slayings, to focus entirely on building paradise. ... And the reason you did not do exactly that, and are instead going behind their backs... Is because you realize your favorite Miss Mage would choose the game over paradise. ...Ugh...

They all have high hopes for me... I mean, I am the leader... Nagisa... Isn't it best if you just calm down a little? You can leave the rest to me. Ugh! Okay? I really think you should. ...D-Dammit! And Nagisa bails, finding it impossible to compete with Nagito Being Nagito.  ... Wh-What are you talking about? I must admit, I am a little disappointed. When I heard that she was his little sister, I was intrigued... His...? Makoto? Do you know him? Now listen, since I've planned the game out this far... I would like it to be completed. Of course, perhaps I am being somewhat unfair to you, Komaru. Rather, the one who disappointed me was Toko. Huh? ...Ugh! Now perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe we made a promise. You were to escort her to headquarters. Promise? E-Escort...? What are you talking about? ... Oh, I really think it should be Toko who answers that question. But if you continue to be silent, the story cannot progress. So I will speak. I made a deal with Toko. If she escorts you to the children's main base, I will release Byakuya Togami. Consider it exchanging hostages. The plan was to trade you and Byakuya. ...What? What are you talking about? And it was such a good deal, too... Why did it have to come to this? ... If you believe it to be a lie, think back on when you two first met... ♪ BGM: Ghost Stories From the School District of Revolution ♫    L-Lies! You're lying... ... I went through considerable trouble making sure you would complete this little game. Returning the Hacking Gun you had lost, having the Monokuma Kids deliver items... That was me. Consider it "game balance," as they say. You've thought about it before, I'm sure. Why enemies conveniently drop items, why the path you must travel on to advance is always clear... The game began as a way for the children to have fun, but it was also a game to help you grow. And I am the one who made it that way. Wh-Why me...? Hm? You mean, why was I so particular about choosing you? Well, that is all your brother's fault, of course. Makoto?♪ BGM: DSO_Ocean Breeze Dead End ♫ He defeated Junko Enoshima, the one I truly hate... And I wasn't there to witness it. That's why, this time around... I wanted to see the action up close. And not only that. Unlike him, an Ultimate, you are a normal girl who can't do anything... That was particularly compelling. Her brother, a hero, the Symbol of Hope. The little sister, utterly boring by comparison... If someone like you were to stand against despair...that would bring hope to the people.    If my assumptions are correct... You will release a light even brighter than his. And in order for that to happen, I need you to participate in my game. Through the game, you will grow, defeat the Final Boss, and become the hope for this town. That's why it would be quite disappointing if you give up halfway through. Alright, yeah, Nagito's on usual form again. What do you mean? I'm...hope? I don't understand what you mean at all...And Komaru once again doesn't know what the gently caress. Ah, I see, so you still don't understand. I blame myself, I should have been more enthusiastic. But regardless... I truly do believe in you. No matter how big the despair... Hope will always win in the end. That is why I feel no remorse becoming despair myself. Y-You're just as crazy as those kids... You must be insane! Who cares about me? The more important thing is what you two are going to do now. I mean, now that Toko's lie has been uncovered... ... What he's saying, it's a lie...right? That I'm...gonna be traded for Byakuya... And you've been lying this whole time... That's... That's got to be a lie, right? ... Answer me, Toko! ♪ BGM: DSO_Desire for Execution... ♫  What...? All this time I was protecting you and cheering you up... It was all for the sake of Master Byakuya! Toko... That's right. I was deceiving you. And you just kept relying on me! "Toko, Toko!" Trusting me like an idiot... It's your fault. I... I believed in you... W-Well you shouldn't have done that! Why would you believe in me!? I have a split personality with a serial killer! I'm abnormal! A-All my life, nobody...even tried to trust me. It's always been like that. That's why...I've never had a problem lying to people. Toko... From the very start, I hated you! Just being with you was insufferable! Lies... It's all lies... I'm not lying! It's the truth! I tricked you from the start! You were a fool not to realize it! You're just a stupid idiot who got set up by the coward Toko Fukawa! Simple as that! If you put it like that, she will be even *more* motivated to leave you behind, will she not? If you want to stop her, you've got to try harder. Byakuya is important to you, right? ... Guess there's no other way... By force if I have to... ...Force? ♪ BGM: Monster That Shouts Its Love in the Middle of Hell ♫    Toko!?  Well then. This boss fight is, uh, different. Different in that I have no real idea how to legit beat it again. I mean, the basic idea is simple - dodge Jack's attacks until she jumps onto one of the lanterns nearby. There, she'll give herself a shock with the stun gun, which restores her battery meter / health. You prevent that by shooting the stun gun with a Break shot. Then it's just a matter of repeating the process until her health runs out completely. There's just one problem - Jack is way faster than you, especially when she uses the drill attack, which closes distance even faster.  So my solution is to just use the tipped over shrine. Jack has some difficulties figuring out how to work around this obstacle, which gives you the slight advantage you need to keep from getting attacked.  So from then on it's just shooting the stun gun a bit and trying to not get smacked the gently caress up.  Trying. Sometimes it doesn't quite work out.  Still, we manage to tire Jack out and get out of the situation mostly untouched.  ♪ BGM: DSO_All All Apologies ♫   Oh...I lost consciousness... That means... I must have lost.

So this part is neat (clothing damage aside  ). I had actually forgotten that was why Toko never told Komaru any details.That said, I'm still surprised that Komaru never pressed the matter at any point after the radio tower. I guess we had to avoid bringing up the dramatic moment prematurely. Also, classic Nagito.

I'm not saying the kids are in the right. Nagisa two updates ago even said "Yeah, I know we're killing innocent people, but gently caress 'em." Just explaining the rationale of why they're okay with Junko but not other adults. Also, remember that Masaru said that he'd be willing to believe that Komaru and Toko aren't adults yet but he'd kill them before they became adults, so they might've used that weird justification for Junko too.

So let's see what we're dealing with now.  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫   This puzzle revolves around using Paralyze and the holograms to set everything up so that everything gets hit by the Paralyze shot when you hit the regular Monokuma in the middle with it. Now, the left hologram is easy - you use that to move the Guard on the bottom left into the water. The one on the right moves the Guard on the bottom right close enough to the regular Monokuma to transfer the Paralyze shock to the other water area and thus hit the Guards at the top right. The one in the middle makes it tricky - it moves the Guard on the bottom middle up, but if you just let it move, it'll move outside the water and then won't be hit by the Paralyze. So you need to time it right, which adds a fuckup risk. I screwed this one up the first time I tried it because I didn't realize you can actually move into the area - I thought that would alert some of the Guards and fail the puzzle, so I tried to set up some sort of trick shot where I hit the regular Monokuma without hitting either the Guards or the hologram generator that are blocking my shot when I'm looking at this from over at the left.  So we set the left and right ones up...  ...hit the hologram generator in the middle...  ...and blast the regular Monokuma with Paralyze at just the right time!   ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Success ♫ Success! Uh, not to spoil things, but that won't be a running theme for this update. There's a reason I pointed out that there will be fuckup hazards in the puzzles from now on.  ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ This chapter also introduces something else - optional Monoku-Man puzzles. This area is not required to progress, though it's a very welcomed area.  ♪ Jingle: Skill GET! ♫ Most of the presents have Monocoins, and one has a skill for us!  More EXP! Always welcome.  And one of the present summons Monokumas, which means EXP and Monocoins, so they are presents in their own way as well!  Even if they have picked up a new trick of lunging at me to attack, which does catch me off guard.  Alright, so here's what the kid's challenge is about. Throughout the map of this area, there's these containers strewn about.  When we use Detect on it, we see a letter! Now we just need to use that information to solve the puzzle! ...OK, yeah, it's not that simple. The challenges take a hint from the Monoku-Man puzzles and also have a bit of a step up in difficulty. Komaru mentions something about the paths here being related to the puzzle.  Basically, this means "look at the map, dipshit". The correct answer here is the container in to the top right from where Komaru is right now. When we get to it (a bit later), we'll see that it has an X on it, and the roads it's on form an L if you look at it from a different angle. I'm actually kinda surprised I got this one right on my first try - I'm pretty sure that if you were to look at this longer, you could probably come up with an alternate solution that makes about as much sense.  Moving on back the path we came, we run into a Monokuma kid who has something for us!  ♪ Jingle: Truth Bullet GET! ♫ It's a Truth Bullet!  And then he just runs off again. Is that...a new kind of bullet? This looks pretty useful. ...Yeah, you're right. It appears you have obtained Burn. Burn is a Truth Bullet that, y'know, burns off Monokuma's generator device. It has a high rate of fire, so it's perfect for shooting at enemies who move swiftly. It's downright awesome against those Beast Monokumas. I think it would also be really good against enemies who are running straight at you... Go try it out! Burn, Towa City, burn - I smell a riot goin' on, first they're Demons, now they're gone. So yeah, like the tutorial says, Burn is basically rapid-fire Break without the ability to score Nice Hits. Can be useful in tight spots.  Also, some Bling Bullet usage can basically double the damage each shot does, which given the firing rate is very effective. If I wasn't fixated on Nice Shots, this would be a primary option for taking out enemies, particularly annoying ones like Junk Monokumas or Beasts, like the tutorial mentioned.   Heading further down the road triggers a cutscene!  It's a new enemy type!  Destroyer Monokumas are a fairly simple enemy type. They fly around and shoot poo poo in your general direction. They also suicide dive into you if you hit them with a shot that doesn't kill them and give them enough time to start the attack. It doesn't happen here because they're kind enough to just stay still and let me line up Nice Shots, but it really catches me off guard later on.  With them dealt with, we continue exploring the area, and find a collectible!    ♪ BGM: DSO_Beautiful Dead ♫ Even with the S&M bits, it's beneath me. It's probably just some sloppily-written, wish-fulfillment fanfiction garbage. Oh I'm sure it's not going to be *that* bad... No, it's definitely going to be *that* bad. I can feel the lack of talent from here. Any book with a title this bad has to be just as bad on the inside! Well, if the Ultimate Writing Prodigy says it, I'm sure it's true... A tasty subject like S&M, boiled down to this crap... A true masochist like me would do better. How did this even get published? They must *really* be getting desperate to put this out. Hey... As a um, "true masochist"... Have you ever had that kind of experience? What, like being tied up or suspended? Th-There's no way I'd do such...indecent things! But then how do you know you're a masochist if you've never done that stuff before? Isn't that like someone saying they love cigarettes, but they've never smoked before? You underestimate my imagination. Every spare moment I'm being stepped on, tied up, suspended by my Master... In my head. ...You sound pretty proud about that. But that reminds me, one time, I was really tied up and suspended. Huh!? By Byakuya!? No... I don't even remember his name now. It was when I was in 3rd grade. Someone's lunch money got stolen, and it somehow ended up in my desk. My classmates thought I did it, so they tied me up to the jungle gym with a garden hose. That's horrible... At the time, I felt a...tingling sensation... But I'm sure that's not related. No, that *definitely* sounds like a formative experience! ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ Next, we head through a side street with another shift in style, going to high-contrast black and white buildings.  Heading through that, we get to a different area, which first gives us another collectible.   Well, looks like Towa City got caught with their pants down.  That area leads back to the side streets, and brings us to a collectible and a Monoku-Man room. First, the collectible.    ♪ BGM: DSO_Beautiful Dead ♫ ...That's right, it's my novel. Got a problem with that? No, not at all! I'm really impressed! I've read this! It was sad, and really good too! I can't believe it, you were the writer of So Lingers! So Lingers? You're abbreviating the title of the book I wrote to my face? And of *course* it's really good, who do you think wrote it!? A-As expected of the Ultimate Writing Prodigy, you sure have confidence... But I mean, if you can write a beautiful romance like this, you can definitely marry Byakuya! Don't be an idiot! What's written in there is pure fantasy! There's no way I can act like that in reality! ...Oh, really? What I write in my novels is my idea of an ideal world. Because I know it will never be reality, I have to write it in fiction. So you write it because you can't have it? But don't most writers write from experience? Not necessarily. My theory is that happy people can only write happy, shallow novels. But the downtrodden can vividly imagine their ideal world, perfectly envision true beauty... And that's the spirit that I put into my novels. Well, I kinda get that... But I kinda don't. But based on my theory, I wonder if I can keep writing interesting novels... Hm? What do you mean? L—Like I said, I'm concerned! If I have a friend like you, and I'm happy... So you mean... Making friends with me made you a little happier? What!? N-No, there's no way a crybaby schoolgirl like you could actually interfere with my writing! You underestimate the intensity of my novels! But you said it yourself... Well, if you're that confident... I'm sure you'll be just fine.Next, let's check out the Monoku-Man room.  ♪ BGM: It's a Monokuma World ♫  Alright, this is the part where I start loving up.  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫  This one is relatively simple in theory. The Bombers move from left to right so there's always two on one side and one on the other. The trick is to hit the single one with Dance when it's at the left side, then wait until the other two move to the left. Hit the single one with Break so it blows up, that blows the other Bombers towards the Destroyers and kills all of them in one clean shot.  I actually did all that just fine, but the problem is I did it from the front, which means the Destroyers spotted me, and that apparently just straight fails the puzzle, even if I did kill everything with a single explosion. Oh well. We'll just have to redo this on the second run through the chapter. I couldn't be arsed with retries this time around given that I was pretty sure I would probably fail a few of these puzzles (turns out, I was right).  ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ This area also has a collectible for us.  It's another Hit List entry! Probably not hard to figure out who this one belongs to. This area also has a barrier we can blow up with a kindly provided Bomber, letting us go back to where we were before and head to another part we haven't explored yet.  ♪ BGM: We Can't Change The World ♫ Even if they were, would it matter? Even if their parents were murdered, it doesn't give them the right to kill people. You're right... No matter the reason, this just... It's unforgivable. And not just that... It's peculiar. I don't doubt the ringleaders had terrible childhoods... But I can't think of any reason for all these other kids to suddenly be motivated to kill. So...why are the other children going along with this? I have a bad feeling about this... ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ Next stop, a nearby Monoku-Man room.  ♪ BGM: It's a Monokuma World ♫  This one is one where I just didn't have the slightest clue how to make it work when I was playing.  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫  We have some regular Monokumas, some Guards and a Siren. The Siren is the only one looking at the hologram to the right, and we also have a car. I think the idea here is you move the Siren over with the hologram, then Move the car to open up the regular Monokumas, hit the Siren with Dance to get all the Monokumas to move over, with the regular Monokumas being near the Siren and the Guards standing on the water next to the car. Then you shoot the Siren with Paralyze and it should be able to hit everything.  I did not do that, and things did not go well. Oh well.  ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ However, after the puzzle area, we find the correct container for the challenge. It's one that has an X...  ...and it's also with the letter that looks like L on the map. Kinda. Close enough. Let's open it up!  ♪ BGM: We Can't Change The World ♫  Ha! I believe I can handle this riddle myself! ...Well, good, because I wasn't planning on helping anyway. ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ ♪ Jingle: Skill GET! ♫ Our reward is a gold Monocoin and a skill.  More mobility in combat. Neat!  Moving through the side streets again, we find the way we're actually supposed to take to get to that blue building. We get some Junk Monokumas dumped into our path just for the hell of it, and they get shocked to death.  Also, a collectible!   Well, that's not very nice.  Our path to the blue building leads through another Monoku-Man room.  ♪ BGM: It's a Monokuma World ♫  Now, this one I just straight hosed up.  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫  This is an amped up version of the "find the kid" puzzle from before. We have four small areas with places where the kid could be, and Beasts are patrolling. The top left and bottom right area are being patrolled by a Beast moving left to right, and two Beasts are going around the entire area, stopping for a bit after passing through the two areas on one side.  ♪ BGM: Absolute Despair Girl ♫ I'm sure there is a simple pattern to get through this, but I just wasn't in the right mindset when I was recording this, I guess. Oh well, another one for the pile of "poo poo we'll have to go through in the cleanup update".  After a bunch of ammo wasting, we take out all of the Beasts and are allowed to move on to the blue building.  ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ This will bring us to the subway, but before that, we have a shop!  ♪ BGM: It's a Kids' World ♫  We buy everything! And that'll be it for this update. Next time, we head down into the subway, and Komaru tries to take her friendship with Toko to another level.

SSNeoman posted:Honestly Komaru is great. She's really cheery given the circumstances and she just rolls with everything. Komaru is one of my main reasons why I love this game so much, and why I think it's the best in the entire series. She runs circles around the other protagonists in sheer like- and relatability. Her relationship with Toko also makes for the most interesting duo in the entire series - though I guess they have an inherent advantage due to having more time dedicated to them than any other duo in the series. Still, the two work incredibly well together, with Toko's standoffishness and feeling of superiority towards Komaru playing a great foil to Komaru's general obliviousness and straight up dorkiness. The scene we just had at the secret passageway is also great - it might seem a little cliched, but I think it works really well with Komaru, particularly because she feels so genuine. Komaru's awesome. Not as awesome as Monaca, but hey, that's just me talking.

Junpei posted:Kotoko: Used in child pornography No it's slightly worse that that, since her nickname was Ms. drama, she was also a child Television star. her mother was her manager, her pimp and her fellow solicitor,. all for a deadbeat husband who was cheating on her with his assistant in his dead end dentistry job. All of the parents in the kids backstories are horrible. abusive assholes, hut Kotoko's mother is special in the fact that she was just as broken as her daughter was and still went through with it anyway.

Nagisa's parents are probably the worst. Deliberately torturing their child and using him as a guinea pig to see how far a child develops when pushed to the breaking point.

Hope's Peak Academy is screwed up from top to bottom. Even Jin was on bad terms with Kyoko and they have the least unsettling relationship involving someone on the school staff. Let's not forget that they decided to experiment on Hinata's brain and turn him into the SHSL Nihilist.

Before we do that, there's something I want to know... Hm? What about? U-Um...you said...I'm...your friend? I did say that. Why do you ask? B-But, I've been thinking it over, and I have to tell you, my number one is still Master. Um...okay? But something like that... That's no good, right? Thinking you're...not as important as someone? Toko... Do you know what friends are? D-Don't patronize me! It's a relationship where people talk about love, and go eat sweets together on weekends... Become estranged when one of them gets a lover... Then, they learn to move past it, and have a-- W-Well, that's kinda right, but... Friends are more like... Wh-What? ...Never mind. I dunno. What the hell!? Talk to me, here! Well, I don't think you have to really define it right now...just act like you normally do. B-But...that's just... It's hard for me to accept it. I-It doesn't...feel real. A-Am I annoying, Komaru? The way I am now... Don't I annoy you? I-I couldn't be friends... Well, how about this...? Can I call you "Toki"? ...Who the hell is that? It'll be your nickname! Oh... I... I've never been called by a nickname before... Well, other than insults... Never? Not even as a kid?

Next stop, another Monoku-Man puzzle room.  ♪ BGM: It's a Monokuma World ♫   ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫ This is a relatively simple one.    Basically, we need some Link usage here.

Like so!  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Success ♫  ♪ BGM: Wonderful Dead 004 ♫ Next up, I get to experience the suicide dive attack the Destroyers have.

Another Monoku-Man room!  ♪ BGM: It's a Monokuma World ♫  ♪ Jingle: Monoku-Man Activate ♫   This one I screwed up at the beginning because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I didn't notice the cracks in the floor. I first thought this was some sort of "blow up all the Bombers with one shot" thing, so I first just moved the Bomber on the right close to the others and blew it up.

I was just kiddiiing! ♪ BGM: Like I Would Become A Monster ♫  Next, we cut back to the Warriors of Hope's base, where Nagisa has Nagito tied up, and he's probably not very happy with him. As an aside, this is one of my two most favorite scenes in the game. It will probably become apparent why. I very highly recommend watching this one.  It's no use acting like you don't know!

Why would you do something like that!? Oh, that's too bad. No matter how smart you might be, you still don't understand it, hm? But I guess that's to be expected. I never gave you a proper explanation. E—Explanation? What are you talking about? What needs explaining? We're going to make a paradise, right? And... And that's why we caused this revolution, right? Sorryyy, Monaca doesn't care about paradise or anything like thaaat. ...What? Oh, I guess you can say that the paradise I want and the one you want are different things. I have no interest whatsoever in a paradise where kids can live peacefully. S-Stop kidding around, Monaca! What the heck is this? Sorry, but this is all for the sake of the successor to Junko Enoshima. Huh? Successor...? Yes, the 2nd generation of Big Sis Junko. That's what I'm after. My aim is different from Mister Servant's. But we agreed to work together at the beginning. So don't get so jealous, Nagisa... I-I don't understand... What are you talking about, Monaca? It's fine, it's fine...

If you work hard, I can do other things too, y'know...   You have such a hard time, everyone has high expectations of you because you're so smart. And you even have high expectations for yourself. And you're always suffering from that, right? I said, don't come near meee! So Nagisa just straight slaps Monaca across the face.  She doesn't exactly seem fazed by it, though. ...What? From the very start I never expected anything of you. That’s why I kept the Successor a secret. After all, you're just a weak, weak little child that no one expects anything from. I-I said get back! At this point, he just starts slapping her repeatedly. She, again, doesn't really react.  Maybe it was all a misunderstanding. Don't come near me! Get back, get back! Seriously... But... Monaca loves how uncool and worthless you are, Nagisa!  ♪ BGM: Silence ♫ Chu...mmm...mmm... Mmm...mmmnnn... For Monaca's sake... Kill all the adults. Risk your life for Monaca. Isn't that nice, Nagisa? Aaaand his mind's completely hosed. That will be it for this little interlude, and this update as well. Next time, we'll rejoin Komaru and Toko on their way to the resistance base and see what awaits them there this time.

Looking forward to the next update of This IT Startup Is Making A Killing - Danganronpa: Toki Toki Literature Club. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Monaca was nicknamed "Pickle Satan" or "Satan in a wheelchair" by a number of people when the game come out. I can't imagine why! Toko's face.

Oh. Well, now it makes sense why all the Monokids started booing when the boss fight banter veered over to making a paradise for kids. Whatever's running them, it's obviously more closely related to Monaca than anything else.
