What was that bullshit execution, in a game that has a kid deep fried, and another one slashed to death by swords? Gundham is one of the worst characters and I'm glad he's dead. I'm annoyed that someone said that I should watch all the trial videos because the voice acting gets good, because it really doesn't get any better than it has been prior, especially with Gundham. Nagito has at least been fun. I hope Sonia adopts the hamsters. Gundham is the worst.

The difference between best character (Komaeda) and 2nd best (Gundham) may seem so vast that it throws everything out of scale, but Gundham is still absolutely wonderful. His parting speech was the best thing. It's hard to tell how much of his posturing was just for his own pride, and how much might have been to try and help everyone else go forward without any regrets about him dying. But it's fun to think about. And Nekomaru accepting the challenge to have an honest deathmatch for the sake of survival makes this one of my favorite murder motives in the end. I like that even though it's the most bullshit motive Monokuma's ever pulled, literally trapping them and forcing their hand more than ever, we still ended up with some great character moments and one of the best post-trial sections in the series.

Huh, that was new. I get being killed by animals for irony, but normally the deaths have been depressing jabs at the killers while Gundham looks at peace with all of this and gets an inspiring angel treatment. It feels.... off.

Nope he is actually the worst character after the pervert chef. gently caress Gundham. Just the worst. I honestly cannot stand him and any of his bullshit. Do yall think he's cute because sometimes he gets embarrassed when people pretend to like him?? Still awful, still gently caress that guy. Glad he's dead. Next! Who am I kidding we got our survivors right here, gently caress I was hoping Kazuichi would bite it at some point e: I like Akane a lot

fractalairduct posted:Maybe you could calm down a little and explain why you don't like him? telling people on the internet to calm down when they disagree with you, a+! I don't like him because he's boring, his voice acting is bad, his personality is horrible, and because everyone fawns over him when sometimes he drops the act and does "gundham-blush.jpg". If he had remotely behaved that way when he was shown to have murdered someone, I might've had a bit of sympathy. He's a moron and I don't know why people love him. I was vaguely spoiled on this death by: a former LP superstar gettin mad that her ~*~favourite character~*~ did a murder in c4, and there was only one character that could be Glad I wasn't wrong.

Gundham did nothing worth talking about. Just endless bullshit nonsense. Akane has it right in the trial. He just never stops. I liked Ishimaru a lot and I see where you're coming from but everything about Tanaka rubs me the wrong way, I just can't stand him. Maybe it's because it's an attempt at Ishimaru's thing, but with none of the charm and none of the redemption. eating only apples fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Oct 30, 2017 |

RIP Gundham. You were my favorite character in this game. I actually kinda like his death, too. It was heroic, both in motive and in execution. It doesn’t really match the theme of the games, but I think it still matches. It’s out of left field for a character that’s out of left field. And say what you want about his posturing, he sorta proved in the end how brave he was by facing his death with dignity. The dignity he pretty much threw away acting like a huge nerd all the time, but hey, he tried.

You've been repeatedly coming into the thread and posting nothing but 'Gundham is the worst and I hope he dies/am glad he's dead'. You're allowed to not like Gundham, that's fine, but it was getting really tedious hearing the same thing over and over with no actual explanation. Which you've given us now, and I agree, he does seem like a one-note character. It seems like most people find that note to be a lot of fun, but if you don't, that's cool too.

Like feel free to call me out on my lovely posts but don't just lie.

This wasn't the post trial reaction I was expecting! Gundham has just been... there for me during the LP, he didn't seem to pop up too much to make a lasting impression. Cute hamsters though.

The execution designers for DR1 and DR2 were different. Which does explain the toning down of how gruesome DR2's are; Chapter 3 and 4 had visibly less squicky ones. Now to be fair, Celes' execution in DR1 didn't have blood or anything either, but you could at least get the sense of some suffering.

Honestly, the most gruesome execution was the very first. None of the others have really topped the poor kid thrown into a life and death situation getting dragged off to his death screaming while his classmates look on horrified. Probably for the better really.

Just cause the lava thing seems especially horrifying to me. Plus the goofy tempura coating was such a sick little twist on top.

Looks like the dead pool guesses are still doing okay: while Gundham was not the leading candidate for votes in either pool (Souda Kazuichi in the spoiled & Nanami Chiaki for the unspoiled) he was near the top (though the margin is pretty close in the unspoiled group). Which means Souda is probably next if the crowd's wisdom is to be believed; Akane is potentially gone too. I can only hope -- those are my least favorite of those that remain. Souda's not really a bad character so much as a nothing character, but he's also a pervert, so I'm fine with him going out. Akane seems to only have two modes - dumb and angry. I didn't really like Gundham's character at all but I do think the VA did a good job with the growing sense of defeat in this trial.

Keep in mind that Mikan's execution was literally just a lethal injection followed by a bizarre drug hallucination/orgasm metaphor. The DR2 executions seem to care about spectacle more than brutality. I'm perfectly willing to believe that being able to be with all of his animal friends in the afterlife is secretly exactly what Gundham wanted.

I like the voice acting here, where Gundham went full ham in his final speech. Him going to heaven has been pointed out, so I'll just say that I feel sorry for Sonia and the Four Dark Devas. ![]() ![]() The real twist for me is that apparently Mechamaru was okay with a fight to the death and how gung-ho he was. The hell was Mechamaru up to before he became a coach? ApplesandOranges posted:The execution designers for DR1 and DR2 were different. Which does explain the toning down of how gruesome DR2's are; Chapter 3 and 4 had visibly less squicky ones. The one that really got to me was Mondo's execution. Having the guy go round and round in that speedy death trap was bad enough, but the ending where we see the tub of Mondo Butter was worse. Just the implication that Mondo's gooey remains were inside it really made me nauseous.

As a coach he was upset that his "team" had accepted defeat, just like Gundham was. They essentially had the same motive.

Oh wow. Ghundam talking about priiiiiiide in a voice that would make Scar proud, then being killed in a stampede where the music starts with what is undoubtedly a reference to The lion sleeps tonight. That was actually... strangely appropriate. And I'm a bit surprised that I am the first to bring this up. Edit: I mean, look at Mussafah and Ghundam. On the one hand we have a being that looks dangerous, roars a lot, but when point comes to shove, he's a very kind-hearted protector of all animals under his watch. And on the other... well you get the point. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Oct 30, 2017 |

Can I take a bet on the next case? I think Souda's going to crack and either murder someone or straight up murder Sonia since she's clearly not interested in him.

Watching the update video, I'm actually mildly surprised that Gundham's problem with the "Mechamaru didn't fight back" theory wasn't that it painted Gundham as a coward who attacked Mechamaru from behind, but rather that it cast shade on Mechamaru for being weak and allowing himself to be defeated easily.
