[@L0ST_P4G3]

I feel the same way! Also, I feel like the way he expressed actual emotion, which had to be very hard for him, was to be angry. He started yelling at Gonta to make excuses, and I think that was because being angry was the easiest thing to over exaggerate and still seem like an evil person. But when his mask broke a little and he actually started crying, he over exaggerated that too, saying he wouldn’t cry for Gonta.

[@CambriaBold]

Regarding Chapter 4, It's notable that the way Kokichi set that case up gives him a plausible case to deny being responsible for the whole thing. *He* didn't kill Miu; Gonta did. As well, he manipulated Gonta in such a way that Gonta would accept the blame for killing Miu. Ideally, Gonta would've been pressed during the trial, admitted to killing her and cited the secret of the Outside World as his rationale. This would've allowed him to enact his plan while sticking to his philosophy of not killing and disliking murderers. Of course, he *is* ultimately responsible for their deaths, but by giving himself an out he's able to, perhaps ironically, lie to himself about his own involvement in the case. Then the trial actually happens and it turns out that due to a glitch that Kokichi wasn't expecting, Gonta doesn't remember killing Miu. Gonta swears up and down that he didn't do it and would never do it, and Kokichi presses him pretty hard to just confess. I think this is not only because Gonta is the culprit, but because Gonta *admitting* he's the culprit is important to Kokichi. If Gonta won't admit that he did it, Kokichi is then forced to confront the reality that he is ultimately responsible for sending two people to their deaths even if he didn't directly kill either of them. He became what he hates, and he can't lie to himself about that.

[@pyrokas]

I agree with this statement, also reading this kind of broke my heart a little.

[@norasss0]

I agree with everything here, but it kinda hurt when he keeps on forcing Gonta to talk when he knows nothing. He even asked him why is he so dumb. That must've hurt for Gonta.

[@CambriaBold]

@@norasss0 Oh totally, but that kinda just feeds back into the idea that Kokichi trusts *nobody.* It isn't until Shuichi puts forth a reasonable case for why Gonta doesn't remember that he relents; until then, he just assumes Gonta is out for himself or really *is* so stupid that he forgot their plan. It seems ridiculous to think about, given the way Gonta is, but Kokichi just doesn't trust anybody. Even during the debate scrum for this case, he rebuts Tsumugi's claim that Gonta is a sweetheart who wouldn't hurt anyone by stating that *anyone* can commit a murder, even a supposed sweetheart.

the sad thing is that if some people keep hearing about something that isnt true, they start to believe it even though they play the game

[@thelemoncoffee]

everyone seems to forget, Kokichi saw the secrete of the outside world all on his own. This massive shift in his personality was because he thought he had nothing to live for, and wasn't manipulating Gonta, but rather seeking help from someone who trusted him. he was trying to get the information he needed to to Gonta in a way that couldn't be seen as lying in the other's eyes without Monokuma sensing his true intent, and the only way to do that was to play into his evil persona. in chapter 4, Kokichi was broken and scared; he thought everything he was trying to stay alive for was gone, and didn't want everyone to face that same fate, but things backfired and he had to fall back into his persona as to not be outed. by the time Gonta was about to be executed, he was so distraught over what he realized he had done, that he had a melt down, and had to recover from it by amplifying his persona ten fold. aside from this little neglected piece of info that changed Ch4 entirely, i love the theory you got here

[@komaedanagito1275]

Thanks to this comment it makes a lot more sense 😲

[@Pablo-yu9mc]

Idk but when I saw his "meltdown" it just didn't feel real

[@uberpwnage50]

This is not necessarily true. Please recall that later, in Chapter 5, Kokichi reveals to Kaito that he had proposed working with Monokuma in Chapter 4 to "make the game more interesting" in order to determine whether the game was being watched by someone. Since Monokuma went along with this, it proved Kokichi's budding theory that someone, perhaps even multiple people, were watching them. Therefore, because Kokichi knew the game was being watched by a sizeable number of people, the idea that Kokichi has nothing left to live for is plainly false. By Chapter 4, he knows that the secret of the outside world is most likely a lie. Kokichi never wanted to kill everyone, as this goes against his entire system of morality as a pacifist who hates killers (like Maki) and the killing game as a whole. He only had to use Gonta because he was strapped for time, Miu was going to kill him (if not someone else), and he still needed to convince everyone that he was a villain.

[@imjustasconfusedasyou]

Kokichi really seems to do a lot of things for (correct me if I’m wrong) attention and or validation from others. And sometimes he’ll go to in drastic ways use the people who do trust them for keeping up his peraona, which he only keeps up because he’s scared.

I dont know why some people are saying things like: "when kokichi died, the game was wayyy to bored", that logic apllies to any character in danganronpa that was someone "interesting" or "logical". In my opinion every character (with obvious exception) aport something to the game. And saying like your favorite character die and turns bored is literally underestimate the other characters, i mean in V3 we have characters like kaede, shuichi, maki, korekiyo and even rantaro that were interesting. (This is said for someone who likes all the characters in danganronpa, with some exceptions).

Kokichi is a great example of an Anti-Hero. An Anti-Hero is just a bad guy fighting against a badder guy for a good cause, and Kokichi embodies that character trope perfectly

[@oumakokichi-s4x]

​@@reddeath5791 I actually agree with this, completely, but that’s not the definition of an anti-hero. An anti-hero is, according to google, a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities. But both your definition and the actual definition fit Kokichi perfectly.

I think he is because he likes to fuck up class trials then get them back on track- no hate on kokichi, its a joke

[@cye2310]

This is what Kokichi did: -force everyone to do their own thing rather than cooperate because of Monokuma's motives, as seen with Kaede's case. -manipulate Gonta into helping him to get them to watch the motive together, this would lead the group into keeping Kirumi and Ryoma away from each other or observe them at all times. -confirming Gonta's observations about the 'tiny bugs' he saw and asking Miu to create the Bugvac. After using that, he used the microscope, probably found in the warehouse, and discovered the Nanokumas. This explains why there's a microscope when you investigate his room. -giving Gonta a choice of whether or not to end all of their suffering when he found out that the world is in ruins, and knowing his character, he chose to end it. -making Miu to create the Electrohammers to disable the traps in the Death Road of Despair, the remote and receivers to control the exisals and convince them that he was the mastermind, and the Electrobomb to disable the Nanokumas and deceive Monokuma. -telling Kaito about his plan and blackmailing him with Maki potentially becoming the blackened to agree. Also, he antagonized most of the killers: - Kaede, for starting the game - Kirumi, for deceiving and almost got themselves killed (when she pulled the 'everyone should help me' card) - Maki, for being an assassin - Korekiyo, for being a lunatic - Miu, for almost killing him and being selfish (Miu was helpful but in the end, she was too desperate to leave)

Tha-ha-haaank you. There's nothing in this entire series or fandom that makes me want to pull out my hair more than a simple-minded "duuuuurh uhhh ya see kokichi is actually uhm just an evil sociopath who was selfish and he did everything just for shits and giggles and so hehe I hate him". Especially when they try to bring up the whole "Well, he could've just been lying" point in regards to his final words. Multiple characters hint at the idea throughout the game that you should definitely believe a person's final words- Gonta outright says it, hell. This ideology is further supported by the fact that Kokichi had no idea what in God's name a Remnant of Despair even was when he was getting choked out by Maki, which proves then and there that none of what he was doing was meaningless "gaaaah I love murdering insanely gullible high-schoolers". Many also like to bring up the fact that both Iruma's and Gokuhara's deaths were technically on his hands. Of course, most who took the time to do research immediately refuted with "He had to choose between being murdered in cold blood or sacrificing the lives of Miu and Gonta for the chance to cultivate his plans and ruin the killing game for good." Now. I swear on my bathtub, if I hear another person say "well uuuuuhhhhhhmm he coulda like apprehended her or like not gone inside of the program at all man there were other options". To which I say, *THAT'S WRONG!* Let's say, hypothetically, he uses Gonta to knock her out or something. Everybody logs out, no murder happens. What's stopping Miu from trying something similar again? Nobody would dare try to believe Kokichi, who's almost completely convinced the group that he's the mastermind. And if we say, have him skip out on the simulation, if that were even a possibility- there is again a high chance Miu would attempt to kill him again in some way. And let's say even THAT doesn't happen, and despite the odds, everybody believes Kokichi and Miu doesn't kill him. If another murder takes place before he can seize an opportunity to further his plan, said plan would most likely be completely ruined. It's a simple waste of time and whether or not you like how it played out, two people would have always ended up dying anyway, deaths that would be entirely meaningless in the face of Shuichi's decidedly masterful detective work. The way things panned out in V3 was undoubtedly the best conclusion because while yes, Iruma and Gonta died, these deaths set the stage for Ouma's final lie and assisted suicide/murder, which was unarguably integral to the (un)revelation of the true mastermind.

[@NoMoreWhat-Ifs]

And even, *even* if we choose to disregard ALL of that? In the case that his plan did not work, he still ended up being completely irreplaceable in the final chapter by being super important in the surprise punch of Rantaro's true character. No matter which way you slice it, Kokichi and what he did is in no way *meaningless*. Sure, you may be able to get away with labeling him as a Sociopath, but he is unarguably NOT a supermalevolent-totally-evil-guywho-just--loves-thekillinggame. He is not one dimensional. So for the love of God, I could care less about whether or not you like him personally but just cut it out with the surface level critics of Ouma's character when the game provides us with the framework for the complete truth. Ouma did what he did to ruin the killing game, and his final words were definitely true. This is based in evidence while the opposition finds roots purely in the speculation of his lying habits. Practically every thing he did had meaning. He was left intentionally ambiguous so that the audience could piece together his true motives and *not* for us to simply add to the "well uhhh lie" column. Everything about him was intentional misdirection and pretty necessary delusion for his greater goal of ultimately, helping everyone. And, like him or not- All that with a frivolous smile.. That's just who Kokichi Ouma is.

[@user_spatty]

Honestly, you're completly right, I love the way you explained that, also, remember the insect meet and greet? The reason he did that was so that there'd be a less chance of everyone killing each other because everyone would know who to avoid or they could at least support the ones that had really bad motive videos, so the chance of a murder would be less likely, and since he knew that there were viewers of the killing game, and there was a lot of filler stuff going on at that time, he could've done the insect meet and greet as a harmless but interesting prank, (I'm not saying this is completly cannon but I'm pretty sure that was his goal) but that sadly didn't work out in the end because the events of chaper 2 happened. (At least I think, feel free to correct me if I got something wrong lol.)

[@aperson2697]

If kokichi skipped the simulation Miu would probably try and kill someone else, she had full control and could twist the fact that kokichi isn't in the simulation to try and put the suspicion on him. Everyone is too invested in their friendship especially kaito to suspect her and they wouldn't even believe kokichi. She could get away with it and get everyone including their precious gonta killed.

And Gundham for saying he is "evil" and wanting to save everyone (Gundham saving them from starvation and Kokichi for the whole killing game).

[@msobama-um2uj]

I actually see him more as a mix of kyoko and chiaki! Kyoko for his plotting behind the ringleader's back. plus, in the fifth fte and salmon mode ending between shuichi and kokichi there's a clear throwback to the makoto-kyoko relationship. For chiaki its a bit more difficult to explain (Im talking about the in-game personality, btw). they both love jokes and games, they have similiar sprites (and hairstyle jcysd) and they both share the same hate for killing and think murder isnt something you can completely forgive. Their role in the game is similiar but at the same time the opposite. Chiaki is an AI, an outsider that doesnt really belong in the group, but joins it anyways to keep her friends safe and stop the killing game, meanwhile kokichi could have been part of the group but decides to separate himself from it due to his paranoia, so he subtly leads (or tries, at least) them while trying to stop the killing game. Aaand they both help the survivors a lot after their deaths. Last thing, chiaki's "belief without doubt is simply a lie" really stuck with me, so when i discovered the theme of v3 was truth vs lies i immediately thought of that. (Kokichi and chiaki are my two favorites from the games yeah did you notice?) Im not really sure this makes sense, but in short, kokichi makes me think of kyoko for his actions and of chiaki for his morals and for his role in the game.

I find this similar to how people misinterpret Kaito's writing as well... It's just so strange how we villanize characters before thinking about why they did what they did. Like Kaito comes from a place of insecurity about himself, and so he lashes out physically to get his point across because his words never seem to be enough. People think he's the dumbest character in the series when he brings up several emotionally intelligent reasons as to why he's not. Additionally, his deception of the class in chapter 5 bounces off of this supposed himbo esque relationship he has with them, when in reality, he's much more intelligent then he leads on to be. Otherwise he would have just left Kokichi to die without thinking about how that affected Maki and the killing game. His motives explain perfectly why he has a brain, and how he uses it in previous chapters to convince Shuichi and Maki to believe in themselves. He just goes about it in a different way, which shouldn't mean that he's automatically dumb just because he uses his intelligence to lean more into pathos then logos.

But everyone paints him as this big stupid dumb dumb who was lead around blindly by Kokitchi. I'm not saying Oma didn't manipulate him but he manipulated everyone and no one else in the game is painted by fandom as lacking agency or talked about like some poor child who didn't know any better. Gonta made a hard choice because he was pushed to his breaking point.

30:32 I disagree that Kaito's actions were responsible for Kokichi's plan going down the drain. Yes, Kaito revealed himself hiding in the exisal, but that was only after Shuichi's deductions had given Monokuma a high probability of getting the killer right. The plan was already jeopardised by then so Kaito chose to protect everyone instead. And I don't believe that it's Shuichi's fault either. He couldn't have participated in the plan before first discovering what the plan was, and in the context of the trial all these deductions were done out loud in front of Monokuma. Like we saw towards the end of the trial, it was already too late for Shuichi to backtrack once he found the truth. The only person technically "at fault" is Maki (but I don't blame her, how could she have known?) Her slashing at the control panel was the only evidence of the electrobomb being used. If she hadn't done that, Shuichi's deduction would've ended at "Maki's poison must have killed the victim because the press has a feature preventing it from crushing living people." At that point, Kokichi being the victim was off the table, and since Monokuma was relying on Shuichi's deductions the plan probably would have worked.

With all honesty, mostly because of Kokichi’s character and such, mostly as a good-ish chaotic madlad, he should be the protagonist for danganronpa 4, regardless of his death, because we all know that a few characters at least come back every volume. And also, mostly because of the scene of the class trial of him saying the pros directly to the students, shows that there is also some cleverness hiding inside of’em. Plus, it would really be fascinating to see what’s going on inside of his head all the time, knowing he’s truly a liar, as some people also see him as an antagonist. Overall: Kokichi would be a fascinating protagonist in danganronpa, volume 4.

It bothers me a bit when people say that Ouma did bad things with good intentions. We can't really know wheter he tried to win the game to save the others or just because he wanted to win. Everything he said can be interpreted as a lie. If he really cared about the others, he wouldn't have got Iruma and Gonta killed. People usually say he had no choice, but to be honest that's pretty naive. Case 4 was extremely easy to avoid. All he had to do was show Miu the "truth of the outside world", which would take all the motivation away from her. He could have even shown the motive to everyone as he did in chapter 5 without pretending to be the mastermind, and it would have worked (that would have also prevented case 5, since Shirogane wouldn't have been able to frame him as a remnant of despair). Or he could have used all her tech to escape the school with the others. If he knew there was an audience, then he knew the truth of the outside world was actually a lie. Yet he chose to get 2 people killed "for the evulz". But besides that, people usually forget all the little bad things he did during the game, like treating Keebo and Iruma like shit, or being generally mean to everyone, for no real reason. Being an asshole doesn't make you complex, especially if your behaviour is never explained. But people usually forget that and view him as a hero regardless. I know that acting like a bad person doesn't make him a badly written character, otherwise all villains would be badly written. I think the main flaw he had that was his mastermind plan was forced and stupid. Momota was right when he called him naive in chapter 3. He had no reason to believe the plan would work. In fact, Saihara did pretty much the same thing in chapter 6 when he proved the mastermind broke her own rules, and it had no effect. Shirogane brushed it off and continued. So even if Momota hadn't spoken in the end, everyone would have died after that trial. His plan about sharing motives was also bad. Thinking that Toujou would refrain from killing just because the others knew she was the prime minister was naive. Someone as strong willed as her would have carried on with her plan no matter what. And there would be a lot more people likely to kill due to the motives. Iruma could have decided to kill earlier, and maybe Harukawa too (I don't remember whether she saw her motive or not in the game, but since she had been killing for her orphanage in the past, it would make sense for her to kill for it again if it was in danger). And yet Kokichi is also characterized as someone extremely smart who can figure things out before everyone else. It's a bit inconsistent in my opinion. Regarding the comments in Weeby's analysis, I think you gave the "dark backstory" theory too much importance. It was just some speculation she made about his past, with not much relevance to the rest of the analysis. However, Ouma's comment in chapter 3 about him and Momota coming from different backgrounds may imply that he had a different childhood.

[@jaxon1670]

“He had no reason to believe the plan would work” He literally explains why he believed the plan would’ve worked in his final moments. In his words, “Death games are meant to be watched. If no one was watching, there would be no reason to be such a stickler about the rules… There would be no point in making this a game in the first place… But Monokuma’s been a stickler about the rules, and about making the game interesting. Thats why he agreed to my plan in the virtual world.. Which means Monokuma is aware that someone is watching us… In which case, I have no doubt that this death game is being shown to someone.” (Honestly, while writing this, I realized he literslly never said why that would end the killing game even though he was responding to Kaitos question but Kaito does explain that if they ended up thinking that either Maki or Kokichi killed Kaito, Kaito would come oit of the exisal and Monokuma’s ruling would be invalid and the fans would’ve probably been upset about this, which wouldn’t allow the killing game to continue). So yea, he had a reason. Also I don’t think his idea in Chapter 2 was bad because how could he have predicted that Kirumi would’ve been the killer? Or that her motive would’ve been so serious? And if his plan had worked, that *might’ve* drove the idea that hey- we all have reasons to get out of here, so maybe we all should be wary of each other into their heads like Kokichi was trying to do from the start. Also to answer your question, she didn’t see her motive video. In the trial she admits she ignored the video because she thought it was something stupid, but reguardless, she didn’t even have her own video. I am, however, confused on whether or not the way he executed it was bad, because I initially thought so, but after some thought.. by that point, everybody already thought of him as an untrustworthy person, so he probably wouldn’t be able to gather them willingly, and everybody had already decided _not_ to share the motive videos, so that would be another reason why he wouldn’t have been able to gather them willingly, but I don’t know. A few years late, I know, but if you’re still there, I would like to know your thoughts on at least the execution of his plan. While I don’t really agree with most of your arguments, you do make some pretty good ones. Also yea, I agree, case 4 could’ve probably been avoided if he did what you suggested. I honestly don’t know what to think about it since if he had showed everybody the outside world, Tsumugi probably would have just pulled out the same flashback light motive and they wouldve gotten the courage to fight, a murder would happen and the killing game would have gone back on like normal. besides, that point he was already started to paint himself as the mastermind, and so all of that plannjng wouldve been thrown out the window just for that, making it literally pointless to do. And if he had just shown Miu, she wouldve probably told everybody, and the same outcome. He does also admit that him using Gonta was apart of his plan to make everybody believe he was the mastermind, and I do think he cared about everyone, even Gonta who he sacraficed and so I’m sure he thought that sacraficing them woudlve been better than having either the killing game continue or having everyone die if Miu’s plan had worked. Also, just personally, I think you would be able to call Kokichi a complex character if he had a good backstory, because most of the stuff people think about Kokichi is usually just based off of their own interpretations of his character. But kokichi, with no backstory, really doesn’t have a reason to act the way he does, and the way he acts and thinks led to the things he decided to do in the killing game but theres literally no given reason for him acting like that. Because of this, I wouldve call him complex, more like impossible to figure out. I do think he’s sort of far from badly written, but probably just think that due to the bias of him being my favorite.

[@11th-lemon]

​@@jaxon1670 Wow, someone replied to my 2 years old comment :O I don't remember the fine details of Kokichi in V3, but I still stand by it. I think Ouma is like a blank slate: there's no truth to his character, and anyone can project whatever they want onto him an be right. There's a massive reply incoming, even bigger than the previous comments. I left a tl;dr at the end if you don't want to read it. But since you asked, here is my answer: About his plan in chapter 5, I don't think he had any reason to think it was going to work. There's no connection between there being people watching the killing game and the killing game stopping if the mastermind was pushed to break her own rules due to some elaborate scheme. The most obvious responses from Monokuma after being told by Kaito that his veredict was wrong were: -Saying "I guess I was wrong. I'll correct my mistake" and executing everyone while Kaito died anyway. -Denying Kaito's claim by claiming to have special hidden cameras that are immune to the bomb he allowed Kokichi to have. He could say "nope, [whoever was voted] did it." and execute that person right away like he did in chapter 1-5. -Forcing Kaito to get out of the exisal before making a veredict, so he wouldn't even have a chance to prove him wrong. All of that makes a lot more sense that going "oh no, I made a mistake. Now I have to cancel the game and free everyone". Why on earth did Ouma think that made sense? And for the record, we already know the plan wouldn't have worked nor came close to working because: -Saihara proved that Tsumugi cheated as the mastermind by breaking her own rules, and no one (neither the audience nor her) cared at all. She just briefly apologized and moved on. And that was a way more serious infraction than getting a veredict wrong because someone sabotaged the cameras. -None of the real life fans lost interest in the game because of that plan. In fact, many people loved it. Wanting the killing game to stop despite enjoying it is one of the main charms of danganronpa. And none of that wouldn't have happened if Ouma hadn't been an asshole and killed 2 people to "look" evil. As for his plan in chapter 2, grossly underestimating Monokuma's motives even after watching his own motive (which showed him how serious they were) was really dumb from a supposedly smart character. That's something I would expect from a character who acts rashly without thinking of the consequences of his actions, not from the "planning mastermind" Kokichi. He couldn't have predicted that Kirumi of all people would be compelled to kill, but he should have predicted that someone would, especially since he loved to distrust people so much. I think the very real risks of showing everyone their motive video outweighted by a lot the possible rewards it offered. They all already knew people had a motive to kill (leaving the KG) and adding a second motive wouldn't have changed much. As for the execution of that plan, I think it was too forceful. It caused needless angst, especially considering all that bug torture. He also didn't need to manipulate Gonta's feelings like that. Maybe he should have realized that if he couldn't convince anyone to follow his plan then maybe his plan wasn't as good as he thought. It's not like everyone else was dumb (see Saihara, who even Ouma seemed to respect). Before that, people thought he was a slimy jerk. That plan made him look like a villain who was actively working against them. But regardless of the execution, I think the plan was bad. I guess the writers would disagree with me, since they had Momota or Saihara acknoledge that the plan wasn't that bad during the trial. As for the chapter 4 thing, I meant he should have shown everyone the motive like he did in chapter 5, especially since a murder was about to happen. I think not expecting Tsumugi to create false memories was reasonable. Even if he knew there were other people out there watching the game, he couldn't have known that all that backstory was a lie. Maybe the spectators had escaped in a different ship. Giving everyone the courage to fight despite knowing "the truth of the outside world" would have been very hard without giving them an enemy. If Kokichi hadn't acted so cruelly just for the sake of it, making him the villain to motivate the others would have been harder. And even with the "ultimate despair" fake memories, no one would have had any real motive to actually play the killng game like Monokuma wanted, since there was no world to return to, especially alone. At that point he had done barely anything to set himself up as the mastermind (only carving some letters on that stone, I think). If he was as smart as the writers say, he should have known it was time to call off his plan, which would have been really easy. He could have used Miu's tools to at least attempt to revolt against Monokuma instead. It was risky, but still much better than his choice. The fact that he still chose to kill 2 people to "look" evil makes me think he was either really dumb or didn't actually care about the group at all and was just trying to have fun and be evil for the sake of it. The story insists on making him look smart, and his actions are weird if we see him as pure evil. That's why I don't think he has an actual character; one can project whatever one wishes onto him. But if I have to pick an interpretation, I'd say he's just evil and wants to win the game to satisfy his pride, even though that partially contradicts his motive video which said he was a pacifist. But there's one thing that is important to remember: Although his plan was dumb and his motive was very shaky, he made chapter 4 really enjoyable. Personally I struggle to think he cared about Gonta since he got him killed instead of sacrificing himself, but I also don't understand why he would fake grief before Gonta's execution. I also don't believe he cared about the group, as he treated everyone like trash (especially Keebo). In fact, he would have pushed everyone to suicide in chapter 5 if Shirogane hadn't intervened. His plan of making everyone fall into despair to remove their will to kill wasn't that bad, but it needed more empathy and hope to succeed without getting everyone killed anyway. Lastly, I totally agree with your last paragraph. Ouma is just like the ending of V3: he may seem complex and thematic, but if you actually look at him there's nothing there. I don't even know if the writers actually know the answer or if they just threw in some contradictory elements because "the theme is truth vs lies", hoping that each fan would write the rest in their head and argue about it. But despite all of that, I don't think Kokichi Ouma is badly written. He conquered the hearts of thousands of people, and that has to mean something. I'm just pointing out flaws and arguing because I find it fun. I still think he isn't deep, though. Haha, what an essay. Thanks for reading it if you did. Ouma is certainly good at generating discussions, which is another point in his favor. tl;dr: I still think Ouma's plans were dumb and I just can't see him as someone who cared about the others. But I don't think he is badly written, because he made great contributions to the fandom and the game.

[@jaxon1670]

@@11th-lemon okay so, thanks for the tdlr, you typed a LOT and i respect this but i’m not gonna read the entire thing since it’s pretty late for me but i still want to respond , so i’m jus gonna read bits and pieces- meaning i’m not gonna respond to the whole thing in its entirety honestly yea, when i first went through the game i was genuinely confused on how that would end the game. i guess i understand more now, but i think it was just wishful thinking on his part because yhay was the only other way he could end yje killing game at the moment so he really couldn’t resort to anything else. also, kokichi wasn’t alive for chapter 6- and so i don’t think he knew that tsumugi would possibly just brush it off especially since when he was alive, all the evidence was supporting his thought that they couldn’t mess up the rules. and i also don’t really know what part you’re talking about, being honest.. and also yea, i’ll admit, as a person the game tries to portray as smart, there are a couple of moments like chapter 2 that makes it seem like he isnt- he was so paranoid he wrote an entire dictionary of a script for his potential death, yet he didn’t even consider the severity of the motives or at least just how far one would be willing to go due to it. it just makes me kind of sad that the writers portrays him as this super super smart character yet have these stupid i guess “plot holes” too, like it just doesn’t make it any sense.. i would like to believe he’s genuinely really smart but only when yhe writers want him to be which is annoying as fucking shit 💀 but yea the solutions you suggested he would do were definitely better and i’m sure the writers considered it even but considering as it would probably _actually_ end the game, kokichi couldn’t have done it. nobody can end the killing game unless it’s the protagonist. and also, on the whether or not he actually cared about gonta & the others- let’s agree to disagree before it becomes into a pointless argument that never progresses. the reason why we both think what we do is cs of the fact that like i said earlier, everybody has their own interpretation of kokichi- so it’d be kind of pointless to battle each other with our own interpretations of his character because we don’t perceive the same thing when we see kokichi ouma and his actions, if it makes sense.

[@11th-lemon]

@@jaxon1670 Yeah, I'm not trying to battle you. Ultimately I understand to Ouma couldn't be too effective because then the story couldn't work. I do think predicting that his plan wouldn't have much of an effect was really easy and that the plan wasn't his only option, as he actively chose to die to carry it out.

[@Carobug]

I was reluctant to watch this video because the title suggested that it's gonna be biased in either a loving or hateful way. Kokichi did some things wrong - sacrificing two people is and always will be bad. However, we have to look at the circumstances he was in. Honestly, I think many people would break and go to the extreme just like him when forced into a killing game. And reminder: As he wanted to be seen as the evil guy even by Monokuma, unlike the other students he couldn't allow himself to express his real feelings even when he was alone. Holding your emotions in sucks. Watching people die horrible deaths sucks. He also was the first one to learn the supposed secret of the outside world, so no wonder he was broken af and went to such drastic measures. I find Kokichi a greatly written character, and I love him a lot. I also believe that he had good intentions, but broke under the pressure in his own way, which is why he didn't see any other choice than sacrificing Miu and Gonta. To be honest, I headcanon him as a good friend to both of them in the non-despair au. But try to call him "uwu gay rat boy". I dare you.

[@GippyHappy]

I genuinely don’t know how people can think Kokichi is actually evil. If you look at everything he did, him being evil makes no sense. Sure, he wasn’t a very nice person and maybe not even an especially _good_ person, but he is just **a** person. He was capable of feeling real emotions and having real opinions. Even if they’re constantly obfuscated by his lies, that doesn’t mean nothing he ever said was true. I think he’s a very tragic character for that reason. He’s just a kid, put in this horrible unwinnable situation, and just because he’s sort of annoying everyone assumes the worst in him at all times. Even before chapter 4, whenever he expressed his opinion or had a genuine emotion, they only ever reacted with annoyance or disbelief and assumed he had bad intentions. I get he was rude and unpleasant at times (specifically, at ALL times) but it can’t be easy being ostracized just for disagreeing with the general consensus of the group. They’re always so sure they know when he’s lying, but they are very often wrong. And even when he tells the truth, they don’t believe him, and even then they still don’t understand why he lies. He’s just a kid who wants attention. It makes me feel bad for him. Especially since, after all that, he still gave his life for all of them, even dying in a completely gruesome manner. For the people that never trusted him, were never friends with him, hit him, shot him with crossbows- those people. He died for. Truly was the boy who cried wolf. I think he’s a great character.

It's why the minor antagonists are the most popular and loved characters, because they are honestly so interesting and can sometimes be more enjoyable than the rest of the characters.

[@luluzin5022]

I believe Kokichi being heavily misunderstood in the fandom is a natural result of the type of character he was written to be. The main theme of V3's plot is "truth vs lies". Shuichi, as the Ultimate Detective, is entrusted with the job of revealing all truths, while Kokichi is the opposite: a person who frequently lies. Due to the role that Kokichi plays in the story, not only the other characters, but the player as well, have a hard time understanding his actions and his reasons. It's difficult to discern his lies from his truths. Kokichi does such a good job of painting himself as a villanious psycopath that he manages to deceive even the people playing the game. For that reason, I believe he is the type of character who can never be truly understood or explained, but it's still fun to analyze him.

I think it's unfair to say any Danganronpa character is a bad person purely for their actions in the killing game, because their killing game self and 'normal' self are 2 completely different people. Let's say you were to be put in a situation where you're held hostage and have to kill others/ decide who dies and your life is constantly on the line at any given point in time, you obviously would act differently because your in a abnormal situation where the rules of normal life don't apply. Yes, there would be people who would try to keep everyone together and be heros, but there would also be people who would try different means of keeping everyone safe and others who would just crumple altogether, which are all valid responses we've in the Danganronpa franchise. Having a response where someone crumbles or acts like Kokichi doesn't make them a bad person, just someone responding to the environment they have been forced into.

Hello everyone! im just here to clear/clarify some canon facts on why kokichi isn't as bad as a character, why he saved many lives in danganronpa (not all lives btw) and why he had a twisted personality and I'm going to decode everything that you need to know about kokichi! Soooo lets get into it! And if you think I'm a simp or fan girl or main-kokichi-kin that's not what my points value- I'm saying that ppl of the fandom toxic or not need to stop making ridiculous statements on someone such as a fictional character whom they barely know about much about not to mention someone with a weird personality such as kokichi ouma himself. So enjoy this essay XD (btw spoiler warning and this is my opinion so don't leave any hate i worked hard to put this together so please no hate.) So we're going to start off with kokichis personality. Kokichi ouma was the ultimate supreme leader of "evil". He was a mean snake and was rude to everyone during the time of the game. He made and said his lies, insults, etc..but he didn't necessarily purposely have that personality. As most of the drv3 part of the fandom know he was originally a shy scared fragile but kind person. And for those of you who are confused, he faked this personality of his own. You see, he had a a secret organization named D.I.C.E or more likely what he called family. They only did harmless pranks and fun ones as said in this motive video! He supported DICE as they supported him and they had great relationships. He did get abused more before he joined dice (which were a group of orphans btw). And before he joined DICE he got bullied a lot and was very scared and sensitive by any rude words such as the miu insult "YOU little abortion" and which yes, kokichi was upset by that but sense he over exaggerates his emotions that made everyone think he is faking anger which he originally WASN'T because the boy has feelings ya know...Also he wanted to make DICE proud by surviving danganronpa but there was a twist!! He ended up risking his life for some "friends" and by "risking" yea! I mean he wanted to end the killing game by confusing and tricking monokuma while trying to beat monokuma at his own game. As if the 5th class trial were shuichi uncovers the "truth" monokuma says "kokichi tried to beat me at my own game BUUUT he failed!" meaning kokichi tried to trick monokuma so the killing game wouldn't properly function and monokuma would loose. But that sadly didn't work and kokichi just practically died for NO REASON! :( and most of us who played or saw scenes of the 5th class trial game play, also I've played myself it was great, as himiko said "he's crazy! why would he go that far", well he is a bit crazy, OK HE IS ALOOOTTT CRAZY- but he did it for a good reason. He wanted to sacrifice himself as a so-called mastermind and at the same time wanted to stop the game from properly functioning! So yeah that's the gig for that chapter that decodes why kokichi seems like a snake! Also to clarify, his canon backstory doesn't exactly relate or clear the facts that kokichi deserved better because all that happened in the kg has some to do with the backstory, but it doesn't intentionally mean "he has a sad backstory so i blame all the characters for kokichis words and actions." ok n o . His backstory doesn't determine much but it can have some effects which it did. Next topic is kokichis mixed emotions (which is the ending conclusion of this opinion theory). So as you know kokichi has some weird reactions to when he is physically or mentally insulted. He had to hide his feelings to that his personality wouldn't break its character and it was perfect but not that no one believed kokichi was faking his emotions because of his layered lies but some of the time he wanted for some of the others to warm up to him a little. He couldn't break character because of his plans and he had one personality to use the whole entire game. Also, when shuichi says "your alone, and always will be.." that did bring kokichi to tears. Another thing, he had and had to emotionally distance himself from everyone because he didn't want them to like him (mostly because he in some way knew that their were viewers and so he wanted them to like him more but that's not why he was rude and etc..) but he also made the game more funny and interesting then moreso was most of the time very sad and brutal over all. I think that he is an misunderstood character and he did a lot for the others. Also he gave so many hints in the killing game such as clues, mysterys, truths, and moreover answers to some of the ways certain things happened in the class trial. He was over all a smart character and for those who think he is bad because he did seem a bit messed up i agree with that and he did have good intentions but at the end of the day, he was just a lost soul trying to find a flicker of light for some of the danganronpa participants but at the same time he had to put on an act because without his annoying shitty personality he wouldn't have cracked many clues, we would have ruined his plans by a type of mental break down performance, and his character personality would make the game and some parts of it hard to be happy about. So you see, kokichi is a very interesting character who is deeply misunderstood. So anyway ty for reading please don't send me hate it breaks my heart. Also you may have an opinion on my 'essay' but you can't go against my thoughts and feelings on some of what i wrote that's all bye ^^

Although Kokichi did care and was actually trying to stop the killing game and keep others alive even if that means sacrificing others but that doesn't mean he did nothing wrong he did a shit ton of things wrong but he is not mentally insane lile Nagito

[@maricelecoy581]

it’s annoying how the fandom keeps calling him a “rat”. even if its a joke or he’s just fictional, it’s disrespectful. plus, even if you don’t ship oumasai/saiouma that doesnt give you the right to attack them either. this is coming from a kokichi kinnie/simp

Megikan-ネコ if the game is developed by japanese people, it takes place in japan, *and* the characters have japanese names,, its not a stretch by any means to say they’re japanese. like fr do you really think a dude called shuichi saihara would b white ? /lh edit: and since japanese people are asian, well, yeah.

Not knowing how to write Kokichi the way he deserves to be written was one of the biggest things stopping me from writing a Danganronpa fanfic. Thank you for this slight character analysis :)

[@principalneonofantigachahe6005]

Okay, so first off I just wanna say I love this video. Second of all, I wanna say thank you for getting me into this Fandom, I always pushed it back cuz I thought it'd be boring but after watching this video I realized how good this game is.

The fact that he didn’t even kill anyone...... .......himself

Title: _”Kokichi Did Nothing Wrong”_ Me: *”I still hate hiM-“*

[@_moisty_7152]

@Holy Bible not really, I don’t like him still: but there are some pros about him like: -he’s the only one who’s isn’t annoying and says “this is just a game” or “we’re going to get out this together!” Which was pretty annoying throughout all the games if I’m gonna be honest -his design is cool - and he’s funny (ig) And the cons are: -he’s rude -he’s annoying -he’s the reason Gonta killed Miu (RIP GONTA HIJ WILL BE MISSED-* -His whole personality is pretty bad I general and doesn’t show much character development:/ But I don’t hate him. This comment was purely a joke for the lol’s, I don’t hate any characters in danganronpa because there’s no point because they’re not real. But I just don’t like his character/ personality.

[@xaesthetictoes4179]

[@diamondseraph9369]

I'm the kind of person who is so empathetic that I can see things through other people's perspectives making me really good at telling when someone is lying...so Kokichi really grew on me because a lot of the times it seemed like most of his lies were made in order to help others cope by giving them a target among other things...

You really did well in this analysis! This is exactly what I thought about him as I was watching the game, sure I didn't liked him at first but after backing off and thinking more about him I was like: "wait he is actually a great character and interesting!" Good job!

Kokichi. Hated him at first but I feel like that's what the game was going for. They mixed bakyagas and nagitos persona. He has both their intelligence, bakygas manipulation, and nagitos destruction.

[@alfasvirtuosos1981]

I love ur video❤ Personally i dont like to separated characters or peoples in "good persons" or "bad persons", they are just persons, this helps me make everything more easy. I believe that kokichi was a smart teenager (not a really genius like everyone think) who really have good intentions but have no ideia of what to do, its possible that a lot of his controversial actions was just him really not knowing what to do or what he himself was feeling, like its possible that when he make Gonta kill Miu he was just desesperated and didn't know what to do

[@oddslugout]

*story time ;)* I legit just said "oh, I dont like kokichi..", and then someone said "oH, bUt hAvE yOu SeEn hIs BaCk StOrY?!". I look up what they said his "backstory" was, it was LITERALLY A HEADCANON. I didnt say anything, then they say "dOnT bUlLy mEe!!!!", like when was I bullying you?? *anyways welcome to my tedtalk*
