Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE - Introduction Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Danganronpa's art style is always so recognizable.

[@aizichi]

fr!! it's a really unique artstyle

[@pollution_fan]

Yup

[@rei_cultist]

I haven't even finished danganronpa and I recognise the eyes immediately

[@Hawlo]

Watch how 3/4 of the way through the game they reveal the mastermind to be someone carrying the will of Junko Enoshima and how it all connects to Hope's Peak Academy.

[@joji197]

the way i know for a fact Junko will appear being Quee of the Underworld or some bs like that is amazing jaja

[@prof.laytonfan764]

Wouldn’t surprise me if she showed up somehow

[@Kleakeebo]

Maybe, the shinigami IS actually Junko Enoshima in her underworld version

[@ferluisch]

@@Kleakeebo FR their desing is really similiar

[@marinadesu]

Don't.

[@GWFanSoftcoreBrony]

You can tell it was made by the creator of Danganronpa. It just feels like it, even the music and character design. Looks like fun so far.

[@Jordan3DS]

It's cool how the success of Danganronpa let them give this game a bigger budget, now they can finally do a full 3D HD game without limitations!

[@Julia-jm5ts]

Yeah at my first glance I thought it was a Dandanronpa game😅

[@amyzhu6494]

The composer and artist were also the main composer and artist for Danganronpa

[@Mr_Taternater]

The voices kinda sound like characters from Danganronpa too.

[@Craftysage72]

Mostly in their eyes

[@thequincy_]

I can already tell the music is about to be phenomenal, especially with Masafumi Takada being the main composer on the work. Raincode is looking to be Danganronpa's successor, which is great.

[@samugames0]

Yeeees he's the best

[@CarDaMax1770]

Shinigami reminds me so much of Junko Enoshima, it's like she died and turned into a ghost, then went on to haunt some poor schmuck lol. She also doubles as the games mascot, just like Junko.

[@kaylaHat]

I feel like she speaks more like Jack no?

Fun fact: Yuma’s English VA is the same voice of Kiibo and Hifumi Yamada in Danganronpa. And before you ask…yes that Hifumi

[@Jordan3DS]

The legendary Hifumi "I'd kill everyone in here for a can of Diet Coke!"

[@tylorian5168]

I knew Kiibo, but… Hifumi too!?

Hifumi underrated/overhated character to be honest

[@thelemoncoffee]

i was wondering why he sounded so familiar

[@robertmandain5791]

The legendary Hifumi "I'd kill everyone in here for a can of Diet cola!"

[@mdandrews]

Imagine if halfway through the game as you’re walking through an alleyway, Kyoko appears out of nowhere and whispers in your ear. “Mukuro Ikusaba. The 16th student hiding somewhere in Hope’s Peak Academy. Watch out for her.”

[@Youheeep]

XD

[@silly_memories]

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT MEME, THANK YOU

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

"Mukuro Ikusaba."

[@currentlycutec0r3]

I love this

[@frangolles]

I really think this is going to be a reference inside the game. I mean spikechunsoft is famous for refericing other games. For example In IA the somnium files there's a the signature of Junko enoshima from Danganronpa and Kongo (ace) from 999, in a restaurant.

[@natoriousthehopeful2786]

This game almost seems like a spiritual successor to Danganronpa, and you will not tell me that the main protagonist is not Makoto and Kyoko's love child!

[@timd4524]

They're all the same.

[@realroforb7676]

It is not their love child.

[@sonic23233]

It's also a switch exclusive

[@sonic23233]

Because it is a successor

[@thecursed_1lordofcats738]

It's being made by Spike Chunsoft, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kodaka, the guy behind Danganronpa, had a hand in this game's production.

(The villain have to be a boy this time, or at least not a psycho with no motive like ..... And Junko and tsumugi) I mean, i will appreciate this game with the parts based on Danganronpa and the not Danganronpa parts, i whish this game will be great.

Honestly, this game probably has absolutely nothing to do with Danganronpa. But if it's got Rui Komatsuzaki's art, that's not going to matter, because the fandom's going to assume funny high school amogus anyway. That art style is almost too distinctive for its own good.
