Aydin Woods not saying that you're wrong, but that's just in dr3 which, in some cases, is not canon. i do see what you mean though and people can interpret it as canon if they want to. again, i'm not saying you're wrong

[@ashlynmccathy1825]

I’m studying medicine, and Nagito’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia would make sense with his character. The most common symptoms include inappropriate social behavior (such as inappropriate laughter), loss of empathy or loss of other interpersonal skills. Depression can also be a symptom, which explains why even though he’s smiling, he’s very self-deprecating and sad. If Nagito was not lying, he’s right in saying that his brain matter is shrinking (atrophy) at a slow rate constantly. In combination with lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes) he would also be immunocompromised, which would explain why he easily caught the “despair disease” and his condition was the worst out of the 3 who caught it. Usually this form of dementia is very rare (he is both unlucky and very lucky, so that could make sense). Even though it usually occurs in middle aged adults (40-65) it could be possible, albeit extremely rare, that Nagito has this.... Let’s give the writers a hand for their mental health research

[@princessgotchi]

poor komaeda ..... is the cancer and dementia curable? i know at the end of dr3 he seems to be doing well (for now...?) so im wondering if perhaps he made a full recovery, or if his days are numbered. since hinata is a genius now, he might’ve find a miracle cure. but theres also the idea that komaeda was lucky he outlived his diagnosis, but he would be dying rn since hinata’s luck would cancel out the luck that is keeping komaeda alive?

[@AzureAsher]

Sophia cancer is curable, but frontotemporal dementia isn’t.

[@ashlynmccathy1825]

Stop Bullying Tomioka-san you are mostly right there. However, dementia research has recently made strides in reversing some effects to better treat and increase the life spans of patients. For example exercise helps increase blood flow to the brain which would promote healing in damaged areas. Taking certain supplements can help prevent some memory loss and help decrease inflammation in areas of the brain. Diet changes help this as well.

[@foottoast4235]

@@ashlynmccathy1825 frontotemporal dementia is very different from the standard dementia people get; It causes that part of your brain to shrink, basically rot, killing you within 2 to 10 years, sometimes even less. No medication will slow the disease down and the only thing prescribed would be antidepressants/antipsychotics to reduce behavioural problems. A healthy body might help, but at the end of the day it's extremely rare for a person to live with it for more than 10 years no matter their habits, most die within 5-6 years and even if they were able to cure his cancer he'd have to completely turn his health around, and even then I don't think he'd live for an extremely long time, tbh. His behaviour wasn't that extreme overall in the game, when talking to others, but his death... 🥺

[@yesbutno07]

@@foottoast4235 Okay but I think he could have been falsely diagnosed. It makes sense that way too since knowing you have such a deadly disease is definitely bad luck, but just thinking you had it all along when you actually didn't is probably worse. Some people abandon their dreams when they realize they won't be able to live long enough anyways, so being falsely diagnosed could be worse than actually having the disease. That's just my theory however and is likely false. Though I don't want Nagito to die-

I doubt Komaeda's almost-confession was translated as it is "to prevent any gay undertones".

*S* *O* *R* *E* *W* *A* *C* *H* *I* *G* *A* *U* *Y* *O* *!* now most of this will be from the fan-wiki but bear with me Nagito: "In his fifth Free Time Event, Nagito reveals a lot of personal things to Hajime, telling him about his terminal diseases and his biggest wish being to be loved for once before he dies. He falsely dismisses what he just said as lies, probably for the sake of Hajime's safety, since Hajime was about to forgive Nagito and he would've been in danger if they got too close due to the effects of Nagito's bad luck (Danganronpa FandomWiki)." If I remember middle school ELA inferencing right, this would seem to imply (that Nagito *at* *least* thinks) that if he gets too emotionally attached to someone, his luck would catch up to him and put that person into harm's way (aka kill/severely injure them in some horrific manner). Don't believe me? Well you don't need to look far to find _actual_ instances of this occuring in canon (e.g. his parents, dog, etc.). He didn't call hajime a friend and say that he was "in love with hajime's hope" (although it wouldn't be a stretch to say that there was _some_ truth to that) because of censorship; he said that because he didn't want to get hajime wrapped up in his bad luck. Kokichi: Oh boy, where do I begin. To put simply kokichi is a textbook example of a compulsive liar. Now that would be nothing if it weren't for one thing about compulsive liars: why they lie. Although there are _many_ reasons why someone is/becomes a compulsive liar, the reasons that *most* seem to have is either the desperate need for attention or just a lack of trust in people. You're probably going to ask something along the lines of: 'But what does that have to do with kokichi's confession?' To put it simply: a lot. Let's go over each reason shall we (and no; im not gonna list them in order for format reasons)? First- trust issues: And im gonna take a break for now so in the meantime just read what I w and here is where I talk about the panzerkampfwagen viii the maus was a super heavy tank weighing 188 tons with Strong Main gun and impenetrable armour however due to the conditions of the 3rd Reich during the last days of the war the maus was impractical as it would have taken large amounts of oil and steel both of which Germany had nearly run out of by then however even if the Reich had limitless resources that design still would have failed as its tremendous weight and words size would have prevented it from using any Bridges ships and roads, as well as making it incredibly susceptible to fighter bombers.

@@toolazy4names302 this is a really good summary.

[@TheVampanezeHunter]

In the Japanese version, Komaeda says どうか忘れないで…ボクはキミを… which is very obviously an aborted love confession in Japanese. Since English and Japanese sentence structure are very different, it's hard to explain. At first he said 'you' (hinata) in as the direct object, then after he changes his mind on what he was going to say, he switches to using 'you' possessively. So, assuming he was planning on using the same verb, he was absolutely going to say, "Please don't forget that I love you." But he got nervous, backtracked a bit, and continued, this time with 'you' being possessive so he could add 'the hope sleeping inside'. Basically, a better translation would be: "Please don’t forget that I love yo-…The hope sleeping inside you… from the bottom of my heart."

[@avilasergio951]

He's my favorite character too. And he wasn't lying about the diseases. He was given a 6-13 months to live. However, as confirmed in Danganronpa AE, he's been alive for 2 whole years after diagnosis. It's due to the fact that he is stuck in an endless cycle of Good and Bad Luck. In exchange for good luck he gets bad luck and vice versa. Just like how he planned his death. In exchange for his life, he trusted his luck to have traitor be the one to kill him. There's a theory that he will wake up from his comatose before the others, the evidence to this being that in chapter 5 when the system is glitching out you and the others encounter every single one of the dead kids except for Komaeda himself.

[@tsukishojo7099]

+Tensai _9 It's proven by the fact that he's IN Danganronpa 2, which takes place after Ultra Despair Girls. He wouldnt be alive in SDR2 if he died in or after UDG. I doubt he will wake up first. And if he does, it will likely be due to data recovery. You know, the most recently lost data is the easiest to retrieve? Otherwise I find it more likely that the healthier students will wake up first, whoever that is. However, with his Luck, and Hajime having nearly every talent, I think it possible that he could miraculously recover from all the bad stuff in his brain. Perhaps not a realistic scenario in our world, but in a world where your brain can be dissected to give you talent and an AI can be uploaded into a person's brain, I don't think it too far-fetched.

Max Galman What? It isn't a good confession... why? Because he backtracked? (Well, in the original. In the dub he didn't backtrack because they changed it to begin with) That's the point, that he didn't want to get attached to Hinata but he did. I mean, I think it's pretty clearly a part of his character the writers intended to do like that.

[@MaxDoodle]

Ainara Sàiz Oh, so he doesn't get embarrassed at his insane talk about hope and how he loves every one of his "symbols of hope", but he was embarrassed to admit.that he loves Hinata? That doesn't even make sense. And in his Dangan Island ending he just asked Hinata if he wanted to be friends with him. If you gonna say he was just afraid to admit it or say it, then Komaeda would be one huge pansy dude, when clearly he's not that type of guy who conceals his feelings. And, as a side note, the girls' Dangan Island endings were much more straightforward, where most of them decide to marry or confess their feeling to Hinata.

[@seriesofironicevents9648]

I'm actually pretty surprised no one brings up the whole thing about Komaeda legit saying he never felt Hinata was talented from the start, so that means he couldn't POSSIBLY be in love with his "hope" or whatever because he never sensed it at all, and...that actually made him feel even closer to him.

I believe that everything he said was true, not just something to gain Hajime's pity. That is proven too in the manga showing Nagito's point of view. I feel like at the very end, he got terrified. So he immediately thought of a lie to push Hajime away from him. Then I believe the love confession too. This boy confesses to Hajime at least three times in this game. Under the despair disease, "I hate you, I can't stand being in the same room as you." In his final free time event, "I am truly in love.... with your hope that sleeps inside you." And before the 4th class trial, "I know you don't matter at all, so why do I still care about you?"

Actually it is canon, but it's one-sided. Nagito does have feelings for Hajime, but Hajime doesn't have feelings for Nagito.

@@madi8328 In the immortal words of Patrick Star: "Take it easy, it's just a drawing."

[@MiddiMiii]

Komaeda loves Hinata. Even though the english translation kind of messed it up a little bit (could be translation difficulties or maybe heterowashing, I don't know) he absolutely has romantic feelings for Hinata. His original line in the last free time event is "どうか忘れないで… ボクはキミを…キミの中に眠る希望を心から愛していると。" (in Kanji: Douka wasurenaide… Boku wa kimi wo… Kimi no naka ni nemuru kibou wo kokoro kara aishiteiru to.) A very literal translation of that would be, "Please don’t forget… With you, I am… The hope sleeping inside you, (I) love from (the bottom of my) heart." Translating things from Japanese to English is hard, because the structure of both languages is very different. Let me try to explain why it's definitely a love confession though. In Japanese, the primary verb comes at the end of a sentences and words are given sense by particles. の (no): Particle. Marks that the preceding word is a possessive, in this context. を (wo): Particle. Marks that the preceding word is the direct object (receiver) of a verb. キミ (kimi): Second-person pronoun. 愛している (aishiteiru): Verb. Literally definition is something like “the state of doing love,” but that’s complicated verb tenses and not really relevant here, so let’s just go with “love” since it’s smoother and would amount to something pretty similar. 希望 (kibou): Noun. Means “hope.” If you look at the Japanese once more, you'll notice that "wo" becomes "no" by the time he continues his sentence, so the word before it (kimi) becomes a possessive object rather than a direct one. So at first he was talking to Hinata directly, but decided to continue about something Hinata possesses/something about Hinata. Since the verb in Japanese stands at the end of a sentence there's always a lot to speculate about what exactly the verb is during an unfinished sentence. However, with all the knowledge we have about Komaeda and how much he truly admires Hinata (even after finding out that he has no talent) it's safe to assume that he was going to use the verb he used in the next sentence as well. So basically, if he would have continued his sentence, it would have been something like, "ボクはキミを心から愛していると" or simply "I love you from the bottom of my heart." So at first he was going to tell Hinata that it's indeed him as a person he loves, and not something he possesses (in this case, his hope) There is no way to properly translate it to English because of the different structures, but if you want to keep it as close to the original as possible, you'd probably go with, "Please don’t forget that I love y-… The hope sleeping inside you… from the bottom of my heart."

And since he caref about Hajime, he's saying that so that he'll hate him and will distanced himself from Nagito maybe? Okay, maybe most of the KomaHina fans would've knew this already

[@frecklyflamingo4598]

@@nadiantix1882 I'm going to prove you wrong here. I took this from my analysis so it's pretty long. Almost everyone knows that Nagito loves Hajime. Well right now I'm going to explain those feelings in much more detail. From the first part of the game we spend almost the whole time with Nagito and Hajime really appreciated their friendship. When Hajime starts saying how he doesn't remember his talent and stuff Nagito encourages him that he surely has a great talent. Well it all goes down hill when Nagito reveals his true nature. Hajime tries to distance himself from Nagito but even then, he still tries to understand him. Nagito even then still praises Hajime and tries to help him all the time, even tho Hajime doesn't see it. Like in the third trial when Nagito acussed Hajime of being the killer, in reality he was only backing up his alibi but Hajime didn't get it. He even said an important clue just so Hajime could be the one to prove it so he could get all the praise. Nagito didn't want the others to thank him, even tho he did all the work. Let's move on now. Nagito developed feelings for Hajime pretty quickly, since Hajime was his frist friend ever. Nagito felt like him and Hajime have a lot of things in common. He says how he felt from the beginning that Hajime didn't have a talent because he couldn't radiate the same aura coming from the others from Hajime. He says that he only felt the scent of a myserable bystender, just like him. That is what actually made him feel closer to him. He always felt like the outcast considering that he didn't have the same talent as everyone else. He always felt like that. But then he found someone else just like him, Hajime, who also felt like he couldn't fit in. That's exactly what made him feel closer to him and eventually, made him fall in love. At the end of his FTE he says "Please, don't forget...From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly in love with the hope that sleeps inside you...". In the english version, again, it doesn't seem as much but in the japanese version he says "Douka wasurenaide...Boku wa kimi wo...Kimi no naka ni nemuru kibou wo kokoro kara aishiteiru to." 1. At first he said "Douka wasurenaide..." but then he started his second phrase with "Boku wa kimi wo...". In the first phrase Nagito started his phrase with a direct object but when he picked up again, he switched to a possesive object (The japanese grammar is a bit complicated and very different from the english one, so it might be hard for you to understand) 2. The word he used for love here is "aishiteiru". Aishiteiru can be roughly translated to "(I) love (you)". However, it is an extremely strong word (a word that even married couples hesitate to use since it's so strong!). You dont just say "aishiteiru" to whoever you like unless you really, really love that person. You might consider "Oh but Nagito could love anyone as long as they have hope" but that is not true. When he says he loves the Ultimates or when he says he loves hope he uses the term "suki" which is used for saying you love a thing, you love your friends or you love you family, so it isn't as strong as aishiteiru. A more correct translation would be "Please don't forget that I love y- That I love the hope sleeping inside you...from the bottom of my heart..." NIS America butched a lot of the translations like the one I talked about in Chapter 4, the last line of his FTE which i just talked about and even Mikan's talk about her beloved. Even in Island Mode, even tho it's an alternate universe, he still has feelings for Hajime. Quote from Nagito's wikia page: "(...) I should also be noted that in the final Dangan Island event, Nagito had a hard time asking Hajime to be his friend, to which the latter agreed to". Quote from Hajime's wikia page: "(...) In the final Dangan Island event, when Nagito hesitantly asks for Hajime's friendship, Hajime was surprised but accepted without much consideration. The wording seemed to start as a confession, which caught Hajime by surprise". Nagito knows that he's a complicated person. Considering his past, it's only natural he doesn't want to hurt the person he came to know so much all those weeks. It's only natural he would develop romantic feelings for Hajime. And it was more heavily hinted in the japanese version of the game than the english one...In the english version the homosexual context isn't nearly as strong as in the japanese one. True, the localization was better in this one than the first game. However, they decided to skip the "serious" homosexual stuff (Nagito's "gayish" lines in Chapter 4 and his fifth FTE, Mikan's talk about her beloved aka Junko Enoshima) for some reason which is very sad. A lot of people say that Hajime hated Nagito but I'm going to debunk that. At first we can see that they were friends so when Nagito showed his true colors, he said he felt betrayed because he really thought he was a kind person. When he goes to bring Nagito food he is still in denial about how he feels towards him, now that he knows who he is and before he left he said this "I don't want to be tricked by you anymore!" so it's shows how he feels like he can't be friends anymore because he doesn't want to be betrayed, even tho deep down, he still wants to. When Nagito had the despair desease he was constantly worried about him and at one point he said why should he even be worried about a guy like him but he still goes to check up on him which is really sweet. When Nagito started being mean to him, he felt hurt but if he hated him he wouldn't have cared, but he did care what he thought of him. In Danganronpa 2.5 when Nagito wakes up, Hajime seems worried about him, if he hated him he wouldn't have even forgave him. And the last scene in it shows Hajime reaching for his hand, and Nagito takes it which was ADORABLE. This shows how Hajime never hated Nagito.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

It's sad really. Nagito doesn't want Hajime to pity him. Because he's worried that the bad luck that inevitably follows his good luck of finally making a friend/falling in love would result in Hajime getting hurt or worse. That's why he tries to play the story off as a lie. So that he can push Hajime away. So he doesn't end up like his parents or those around him. Poor Nagito. I hope that he can one day tell Hajime how he feels without worrying or panicking.

if you really think about it, nagito is a person with a good sense of morality and overall...not really that bad. if you take away the hope obsession he has, he's just a normal person. him hating everyone after chapter 4 is proof that he knows the difference between good and bad. he just sees it in his own way. plus, an antagonist that believes in good (in this case, hope) is really interesting! this is why i like him. i get somewhat upset when people say they dont like him at all after the first trial. not saying that you should never hate nagito, youre free to like whoever you want! but i see things from every perspective and possibility and it upsets me when someone instantly has an opinion on something when theyre only given a fraction of the big picture.

[@05misogi]

DID THEY REMOVE THE LOVE CONFESSION

[@AuraChannelerChris]

But he's in love with the hope inside Hajime! It's like saying he loves him!

[@VoltraTheLively]

I was worried about that. Teens getting killed is fine but someone who might be attracted to the same sex is a no no. What a mess up of a good line...

[@VoltraTheLively]

***** The original line would be better translated as "Komaeda: That I love… …I love the hope sleeping within you from the bottom of my heart." Notice the strategic pause. Heck, he even uses "aishiteru", something which even a lot of married couples hesitate to use. So yes, Komaeda has feelings for Hinata. And that was removed from the English version. Uuuuuugh.

[@Floweramon]

VoltraTheLively After watching it, I'm not sure if it was a conscious decision to remove any homosexual implications. It may very well be, but it might also be that the intended implication went right over their heads and they just translated it weirdly and awkwardly. Because if you'll noticed, the pause is still there, but the sentence is restructured, and they even use the phrase "in love" rather than just love (most English-speaking people don't use the phrase "in love" unless they're confessing to someone or severely over exaggerating). However, if this was an intentional decision to try and remove and homosexual implications, then fuck them. Seriously, just fuck them.

[@ainara854]

AuraChannelerChris Not at all. His love for Hinata is so important BECAUSE it's not based on his love for hope.

[@ac_fauzan2805]

My perception towards this character changed like, two times, man. When we first introduced to him, I found him to be the Naegi of this game and instantly like him. But after Komaeda snapped during the first trial, and all the horrible events that mostly happened because of him, he quickly became the character I hated the most. And then surprise, surprise! It was later revealed that his intentions in chapter 5 was actually for the sake of good. And he suddenly, unbelievably became my favorite character. Yes, his action wasn't entirely good; planning to kill of five of his classmates to save the 'traitor' Chiaki, but considering that he knew about the truth that they are Ultimate Despairs, including himself, it is understandable why he chose to do so: he believed that if they were to be left alive, they might cause more damage to the world. Komaeda is just sooo well written and I would consider him to be a great anti-hero (or anti-villain depending on people's perception wether he sided the good or bad). I can't help from feeling annoyed of his actions, but at the end of the day there's part of them that actually would make things work out better, nevertheless (Just like what he said, a bad luck will be followed by an even better good luck).

[@CABRALFAN27]

@@ac_fauzan2805 I don't even think he decided to try and get everyone killed _just_ because they were the Remnants of Despair, either. I think the information he received wasn't enough for him to learn the whole truth, but it was enough for him to deduce that Monokuma had a plan involving the surviving students, and to conclude that the safest bet to foil the plan was to get them all killed, especially since they were all just Remnants of Despair anyway. Of course, his plan "failed", but his luck superseded even his intent, and because Hajime and the others survived, they were able to reach a "good" ending.

[@Haruka_Kiyoshi]

Ever since I first met Nagito in the game I felt like I just needed to hug him and say I understand you, Because I literally understand what the heck he is on about y'know, I also talk nonsense so I understand every word he says heh heh *I also totally never thought he might be Makoto disguising and trying to stop Monokuma somehow before the class trial-*

Does anyone notice Komaeda worry Hajime if he get sick? That remind me what Akane said when I get her four sharp. But Komaeda is in first time. And, well...now I think I know why, Akane don't get too close with Hajime so she dont say it in first time, just when we get her four sharp and we know what life she had, she said it because she in a hard way before. But Komaeda...even though not say anything about himself, he had worry it because he sick before, a serious sick. I see HinaKoma hint now

[@cookiesyruplover]

A new low for Nagito is that he's having a fun time with his new friend and bam they keel over and die right then and there from his "luck". Or since he deems Hajime and him as very similar, he might have assumed that he also has a terminal illness.

[@kyubeyincubator5779]

When Komaeda had the despair disease he always said he hated Hinata, but since he could only tell lies, doesn't he feel like dying and just wanted to tell him how he feels before dying?

[@cookiesyruplover]

Nagito is practically pleading for Hajime to stay in the room with him. His lies are usually gibberish but when it comes to Hajime he just speaks properly. "Alone with Hajime, huh... I can't stand being alone in the same room as you." and "Yeah, hurry up and go away. I don't want to see your face anymore." He really be like bro pls im dying here pls pls just stay, you're my ultimate serenity bro

[@rakimi_]

It’s so sad that his last words was a almost love confession, imagine what he was going through. Should I should I not, he ended up in between but it’s so sad to think that he actually wanted to spend his last living days without regret. I believe he didn’t really tell him because he wouldn’t want to get attached if he was going to die anyways.. it’s truly so sad!! I think I would have done the same, even if you love someone so much I wouldn’t have told them to spare the sadness they would feel when I’m no longer there.. you did good nagito we love you too😔♥︎

[@cookiesyruplover]

Yes! But actually he probably would have regretted saying it out loud. Not that Hajime was going to suddenly love him back or something. It's more like the people close to Nagito suffer the curse of his luck. Hajime might have gone out of his way to follow Nagito around to stop him from doing something crazy if he suddenly confessed sincerely and it would result to Hinata's death whether by Nagito's own hand or his own luck. He didn't want that. He wanted to focus on what was ahead, his ultimate plan to help create absolute hope.
