[@hahmann]

The actual real-life Italian mafia sometimes hosts illegal golf tournaments where they bet hundreds of thousands of Euro and obviously don't pay taxes, they also dominate the illegal car racing scene so idk why a tennis tournament sounds funny to you. In my opinion Junko's by far the most ridiculous thing about Danganronpa.

[@PlebNC]

@@hahmann because tennis isn't the kind of racket (pun intended) people think of when they think of the mafia or one you'd expect to need to be underground, thus making it sound random AF. It's like if the British Empire had an underground Imperial disco dance-off. It sounds silly is what I'm getting at.

Quick addition: Celeste was not only killed in the burning of the witch, Monokuma knew that she wanted to be unique and special, so he made her burn. That's why she was happy, she was being burned-- which is a very unique death nowadays-- in a gothic city. But, because Monokuma was evil, he made her get run over by a firetruck at the end. Getting run over by a vehicle is a very common death, so Celeste was filled with despair for her last moments.

I’m sorry but Junkos backstory makes so much sense to me because there’s so many real life examples of people committing horrible crimes out of “boredom” or “just to know what it feels like”

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

It is actually quite a rarity, as most crimes have very distinct underlying motives. However, those who have committed these crimes simply out of boredom do exist, and they are some of the scariest sociopaths to ever walk the planet.

[@REALLYLOVESCATS]

An example of this came out recently. A girl from South Korea murdered someone ''Just to see what it was like'' since she loved watching true crime docus.

[@ZACARIIA_143]

Yeah it's a true thing, and I think everyone has wanted to at least once, with a small amount actually doing it, so Junko's motivation is realistic in that sense

[@gantakanata2550]

It's more about the idea of "The smartest people in the world would only find the most unpredictable things as entertaining" and her whole character is that she can predict many steps ahead and felt that despair is the only unpredictable thing in life. The story is her trying to show the world and Hajime that.

I think the one thing that should be clarified is that v3 is *incredibly* vague about whether Tsumugi was lying or not, it heavily alludes to the idea that the whole "danganronpa is a popular tv show and we're all fictional characters in it" might be her lie. It asks you specifically to return back to the beginning of the game to confirm what she says, yet when you actually do that, nothing actually proves her point. The flashback she gives you and the actual event dont match up, because the students have no idea who the monokubs are and are genuinely scared upon seeing them, whereas her claim is that they all signed up for it and thus knew beforehand what it all meant. Kodaka himself has said this was entirely intentionally kept vague, and it's up to the player to decide what the truth of the situation is

The other backstories are crazy too but those three are so absurd that they should’ve made the twist ending obvious.

Danganronpa V3 doesn't take place in an alternate universe. It's canon and it has never been stated as otherwise. All of Danganronpa is fictional in-universe.

My theory on V3 is it's an alternate reality where Ryota Mitarai succeeded in airing the hope brain washing video. Thus the events of Hope's Peak and the tragedy were believed to be mere fiction. The people being brainwashed by hope quickly grow bored as there's no struggle that doesn't diminish there hope. So they revive the despair based "fiction" Danganronpa in the form of a reality show. This would also explain the audience always choosing hope in their votes, until the very end when the hope brainwashing finally starts to fade.

Plus, it’s canon that Junko made the 77th class more “like her” than she did with anyone else. They got the Despair Junko Brainwashing vs the regular brainwashing she did to the masses in general and the Remnants were the tool she used to spread despair so it makes sense they’d be the ones slaughtering people in the streets or starving themselves (Akane specifically) or mutilating their bodies to put her body on them (Fuyuhiko, Nagito, and Mikan).

I'm so glad you took the time to explain everything, after Ultra Despair Girls, I was starting to get confused 😂😂😂 I desperately NEEDED to know why Nagito Komaeda was the servant to a bunch of kids all of a sudden.

[@Speedstreak]

I believe it was after he became a Remnant of Despair and took Junko's arm after Trigger Happy Havoc. After Komaru meets him, you can see one of the hands covered with a glove. That is Junko's. I think the reason he became a servant in UDG was the Warriors of Hope planned to kill him due to him being an adult, but decide to spare him. Even as a Remnant, his luck saved him.

[@salisa507]

@@Speedstreak actually his main reason is to help Monaca to make Komaru (sister of Makoto who is now known as the ultimate hope and he's kind of salty about it) as Junko's sucessor, remembering he's a remnant of despair, Nagito believes that the bigger despair that's happening the bigger hope will shine later, though in reality he's just wants to see the real despair. That's why in the ending he's dissapointed (since Komaru didn't choose either hope or despair) and decided to make Monaca as the successor instead, but because of his way of thinking Monaca became bored of despair and hope so she decided to go to the moon instead.

You really brought out the best of each character, even the seemingly unlovable or unpopular ones (teruteru, hifumi, leon or sayaka). Despite the memes and sometimes fandom toxicity, people forget how great both the story and characters are. You can see both the backstory of a tragedy, the happening from different persepectives as well as the aftermath.

what if nagito got lucky that he recovers from his lymphoma and dementia but the consequences is that The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History will happen?

dementia probably got cured by the neoworld project which restored class 77's memories most likely, not sure how his lymphoma was cured, but yeah unintentionally fulfilling his hope after the despair of the biggest...something something... tragedy edit: could've unintentionally have been junko's hand donating the necessary immuno-respone to cure his lymphoma, but all of this to say it's a stretch on scientific terms and a factor into Nagito's pendulum of hope/despair

Imagine being that girl that was originally the lucky student. “Hey so you WERE gong to be accepted to this school, but a thief exploded a motorcycle thanks to a can that a boy dropped onto the road and it was burned so now we gave your spot to the boy that accidentally destroyed the motorcycle, likely killed a man and burned your letter ☺️”

think you missed the point there, they saw the letter being burned as an unlucky incident and decided to reconsider her acceptance as the Ultimate Lucky Student, so they re-held the lottery. The second time, the winner happened to be Makoto.

Korekiyo's backstory is a little more twisted than is presented here. It's heavily implied that his sister simply used his affection for her and naivety to live her life through him, feigning love to do it. So much so that he became infatuated with her despite the feeling being far from mutual. In short His sister sucks.

in Danganronpa, i love how every character is extremely different, but it also makes even more sense if you bring every one of them together with the lore. also, the gameplay has a strange thing with building memories and making all that game feel like a fever dream. i remember getting into that game about 3 years ago. now, as im back to knowing the lore and all, it makes it feel even more dreamy. i absolutely love it.
