Truuuuuue

[@giboit.]

Akane was supposed to be the mastermind at some point, not the rival character. That´s why the physical similarities in body type to Junko and her last name being Owari.

[@Riff_10]

Is there anything that actually says this because I don’t think it’s been approved. Or were you able to translate that one page with the counter of Akane.

[@giboit.]

@@Riff_10 As far as I remember, that promotional art was taken out of context. Someone just saw that old promotional art with Akane looking kinda angry/evil and said that it was the rival character at some point and that rumor spread like fire. The page that had this image was actually just talking about the first 4 revealed characters: Hajime, Chiaki, Akane, and "Togami" (the ultimate imposter). The article also mentioned gameplay elements (including the rebuttal showdown, hence why it includes an early version of the rebuttal showdown animation), and a joke about the similarities of some of these new characters with the previous ones: the two Byakuyas, Akane and Asahina. And as everyone already knows "Togami" dies first and Chiaki is the main girl of the game (hence why it´s specifically Hajime and Akane the ones portrayed in the rebuttal. Because they do had rebuttal animations for the game. Togami and Chiaki weren´t meant to have rebuttal animations againts Hajime. "Togami" because he dies without participating in a class trial and Chiaki because she was supposed to support Hajime during the class trials and literally never had a rebuttal againts him because of it). Nagito (who as far as I remember was not revealed at the moment of this promotional art was out) was always planned to be the rival and later on he was hyped up in promotional material as this mysterious character with some connection to Makoto (with his character design and his anagram name) precisely because he was going to be the rival character. You don't just reveal the best things you have all at once. That's one of the reasons why they only showed four characters at the begining and why Nagito was saved for later. I already explained why she wasn´t the rival. And as for why Akane was supposed to be the mastermind: As it was pointed out in the video. Hajime´s name means "begining" and Akane´s last name means "end". Which was already a hint about her role as the mastermind. Along with many other things like her voluptuous body type being very similar to Junko´s body. Akane also gets a close relationship with the buff character of the game (an idea that "mastermind Akane" was supposed to have as cover before she was scrapped as the mastermind along with the idea of having her as one of the survivors before the reveal). If I remember correctly, Kodaka stated in an interview that AI Junko was turned into final boss of SDR2 because he couldn´t come up at the time with a better mastermind than her. And it´s true, If they would´ve followed with Akane as the mastermind she was supposed to maintain this fake airhead girl facade (and her physical abilities/strength ), to later on be revealed that she had a connection to Junko (which would´ve been just fake Junko, a.k.a Mukuro from DR1 done twice). Instead of that, she was kept as we all know her, a lovable but kind of airhead girl with great physical abilities that had a close connection with the buff character of the game and that was also a survivor (aspects that were going to be used as a cover for the reveal of her as the mastermind before getting scrapped in SDR2). Except from the voluptuous body type, which is a trait kept and shared by all the masterminds of the danganronpa games (even for the ones that were scrapped like mastermind Akane and the scrapped "second generation Junko Enoshima" character from UDG), all the other aspects planned for Akane as the mastermind of SDR2: the fake friendly facade, her friendship with the buff character as a cover and her role as a survivor for the reveal as the mastermind later on were all aspects that were scrapped for mastermind Akane but that were later on implemented for Tsumugi as the mastermind. Edit: Sorry for the long comment XD. Some typos may happen when a comment gets this long. I already got rid of them.

[@jigglypuff452]

She was considered as both at certain points

[@giboit.]

@@jigglypuff452 Not really. She being the rival was never a thing.

I think twin characters would be very interesting for Danganronpa. Especially in a situation where one of them becomes a killer and the characters accuse the wrong twin. So the other twin has to fight to not be wrongly chosen while also getting messed up because they'll have to execute their twin.

[@Siphyr]

The second game takes place in a simulation meant to be an escape from reality -> The killing game causes it to become closer and closer to what actually happened (like with Fuyuhiko's eye, or the chapter 2 motive) -> In the first game the air was apparently polluted in the outside world -> People maybe would have worn gas masks to try to escape from that -> Characters wearing gas masks in the NWP would have been a reference to this (and another thing that clashed with the island atmosphere)

It’s very clear from the concepts that they were REALLY trying to make buff fuyuhiko work but none were quite right. Sometimes a character just doesn’t work the way you wanted them too and you have to step back and take a new approach. But hey that what concept art is for, your making a CONCEPT, an idea, getting a feel for what you want.

[@wingedmirage4226]

Seeing Nekomaru with all these smaller designs makes his backstory make more sense. He isn’t able to play sports himself because a heart condition holds him back. That always seemed strange with his final design. I think what they might have been going for with the Sparkle Justice face was giving someone that face, then mentioning they look like Sparkle Justice, someone uses a Sparkle Justice Mask during a kill, and that frames the person with the similar face. Or if that was Peko’s original face, maybe she was gonna be more comedic, only to actually be a crazy badass. Makes me wonder if that persona she put on while wearing the mask was a in-joke to her original personality. Something else that ties Akane to Junko - both grew up in poverty. I could see Mahiru being the original protagonist. She was always oddly plain compared to the rest of the cast, and that’s usually a protagonist trait.

[@Arty_Nah]

The twins design made me realize how cool it could be as a concept. like imagine not knowing which twin the blackened was or Twin A killing Twin B and pretending to be them in the trial

[@bakugokatsuki48]

I saw the gas mask characters and I immediately thought of Jataro from UDG. Maybe the creators originally wanted an ultimate artist with a tragic back-story similar to Jataro's but later it got scrapped and the character was reused for Jataro instead. Also the female design in particular with her light hair and dark skin reminds me of Angie from V3 and she was the ultimate artist so maybe those beta designs were repurposed in the end after all. But im just speculating, I highly doubt what I said is what really transpired. But those gas mask designs were really cool and I'd have loved to see a character like that be a part of the game.

I'd love a rumor video! No matter how false they turned out to be. Visiting rumors always strike me as some sort of nostalgic, it's like a way to revisit the parts of the Fandom when all we could do was speculate and imagine what the games would be like if said speculation was true. For instance there was a rumor that the area you played in in V3 was a legitimate prison and all the participants were known criminals. It drastically changed how I thought the narrative would go, like one about punishment vs rehabilitation. I love the game we got, but some of these speculated plots are too cool to let disappear into the internet.

Chiakis beta designs makes me believe even more that she was intended to be fully an ai and the dr3 writers came up with the idea that she was a real person last minute. The fact that her first name is a mash-up of chihiros name, her having the same birthday as him, and the fact that her beta designs looked exactly like him points to alter ego/chihiro creating her ai will little outside inspiration (I also just didnt like the fact that chiaki was a real person in dr3 but thats a whole other can of worms)

Lol, when she mentioned that one of Chiaki's base designs looked like Maki, I thought she was talking about Komaru's beta design, which also looked similar

[@blkusagi2102]

Nagito's beta design is so cute,,,

[@peoplesaidmypfpiscursedafb6902]

In alternate universe everyone have Astro Boy Fuyuhiko, Sparkling Justice Chucky doll Peko (the two become best ship), cursed baby face Ibuki, handsome Teruteru and big brain Mechamaru

[@theprinceetn2568]

I fell like if siblings were actually playing in the killing game would be so much interesting because of the dynamic would go. I had like one idea of one of the siblings were about the get killed by another classmate but their brother or sister saves them by killing the person so now they are the blacken. So the sibling that get saved tries their best to get them on them so they could save their sibling, but as always they blacken is found and it would be a very sad execution.

15:20 Once again, Mukuro's existence is forgotten...

[@mikyelsanchez314]

"There haven't been twins in Danganronpa, and I can see it be interesting because like if one of them died it'd be very heartbreaking for the other one"

[@newbiegamelover4767]

Honestly, I thought that Nagito's first design was... kinda hot, actually! Also, my reaction to Monomi's first design: Ever since Monotaro forgot that he was a bear, he is now a rabbit!

[@mori6905]

I love most of the Beta design they were actually better than some of the actual original outfits and I would of love to see mask ibuki and Soda with Glasses, also I'm glad they never chose any other design for Nekomaru he's original design is pretty great I simp hahah XD

[@morasmagic1657]

Me when Hajime didn’t have an Ahoge: Screams and jumps across room WHAT THE HECK IS THAT

[@soroneir1260]

3:17 The large text on the picture (ゲーマー) says "gamer," so it was definitely intended at least by the time that beta design was made.

[@mechashadow]

I just think Kodaka was just really inspired by Uchikoshi's tradition of having a masked character in the Nonary Games. My guess is that the art team was against it to have more expressive characters. Also someone on the art team really loved the Peko mascot and sweets with the teruteru designs, look it up.

[@Charlie_salshow]

The gas mask for ibuki can be like accessory type mask or like a mask she wears for concerts then takes off to show how she looks to the students

[@lala_44427]

Omg I wish they made a distrust version of all the games it would be so cool and scary

[@FuzaketeSatsugai]

They should do that tho-

[@sage396]

34:55 that would make *4* people die in the first chapter theres no way in hell they would do that

[@neiiko5712]

I thought fuyuhiko was supposed to die in peko’s and execution and hiyoko was supposed to have a survivor arc but then they changed it last last minute and had hiyoko die in the 3rd chapter to have a double murder again. Which is also why there’s no murder weapon for hiyoko.

[@Aieri_onacoffeecup]

My recommendations be like : And they hated me and they hated me~

[@parasitophobia]

@Genocider.Sy0 most people tend to not notice that when they listen to the song, when I first listened to it, I assumed it may be something like abuse, murder or cannibalism like how they imply in the beta death videos (which the death has never been confirmed to be the actual beta death), but I didn’t catch on that it could’ve been about r*pe until later on. Nonetheless, the song is quite a good one, and I don’t really think OP said anything related to what the song was about either

[@Siphyr]

@Genocider.Sy0 Is that word by itself actually a trigger to people?

[@qkyomi]

@@Siphyr r@p3 can be a trigger to anyone .

[@xhouston5663]

Bro same

[@treymoment]

@hotdilfs69 you can still listen to it.. it’s not locked by a wall or anything.

[@ella8417]

I agree. Hajime just seems naked without his signature ahoge 🙁

[@eeveeangel4612]

Ok but imagine this. The generic teruteru design makes him this plain soft boy who’s easy to like and forgettable in crowd, and uses that to show just how awful people like that can be with having him be more emotionally manipulative to create someone seemingly nice, but really just sleezy. A face in the crowd, yet someone who can garner sympathy and tug at your heartstrings with a well practiced sob story. Granted if they did lean into this character it would be much harder to genuinely sympathize with him when all the cards are laid out but I think it would be an interesting angle for a perverted character with such a trustworthy talent.

[@arcturus64]

idk why but most of the "older female" design remind me of Hiroko Hagakure from UDG mostly due to the long hair, calm/adult expression and the beauty mark. i also feel like the gas mask designs were probably inspired by Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

[@KotokoUtsugi-]

22:46 this Ibuki kinda looks like she could be Rantaros sister or something

[@devianmills1575]

Can you please do a analysis on Angie Yonaga.

[@hayamihinata4135]

I would enjoy that too 🙂🎨🖌

[@ummmmmmmmmmmm4293]

That would be so pog

[@JusticeGamingNetwork]

5:08 (The Baby Hat Monomi) I think that's supposed to be a chalk holder in her hand. She is supposed to be a teacher, so it makes sense but yeah, not intimidating.

[@JahKidd]

Weeby Newz: "...ive lately been interested in cosplay..." Tsumugi Shirogane: *Oh yeah, its all coming together*

[@Zafaruss]

I like how Danganronpa doesn’t have one mean buff person

[@Hello-hx1zb]

How is your eyeliner so well done 😭😭

[@MadeByMIDGE]

11:59 Beta Nekomaru: *Fuyuhiko’s skinniness* Beta Teruteru: Tumblr Sexy Man Beta Fuyuhiko: *HERE COMES THE ✨CRIMSON C H I N✨*

[@shokvalu8819]

I know I'm late to the party on this but at around 38:15 ish when Weeby mentions the evil looking Sonia, I could only think about Sonia secretly being like a dictator to her home country and telling lies to the cast to make it look not as bad and I'd love it.

[@midnightbacon2857]

43:20 this is a similar situation to nekomaru where a character died(probably mikan) but got revived

[@arloga205]

What if "Zombie Girl" is supposed to be an assistant to the evil mascots, Monomi and Monokuma, and the brain she is holding would be "Junko's" brain? Or something along the lines of "Zombie Girl" being the vessel of AI Junko in the game?

[@bahesb2419]

6:41 he looks more like a real and ruthless crime boss.

[@captainayaaya28]

The second Teruteru design is probably one of my favorite design. I actually really like Teruteru more cartoony design

[@wodahexe8400]

The only possible explanation I can think of about why Teruteru did that to Hiyoko in the "Beta Hiyoko Death" rumor is something causing him to regain his memories and revert back to his Ultimate Despair personality.
