Honestly the first few minutes really summarize all of the first Danganronpa play through, Dan is positive and remembers all the characters who lived and arin doesn’t remember a single one until Dan lists them. I rly hope arin enjoys himself more this time because the first play through was a real bummer towards the end

[@GippyHappy]

Well at least he remembered Byakuya!

[@Nebula_08]

“Ah, you’re wrong. This is not an entrance exam.” Arin: “Oh boy it’s him. It’s our boy.” *Well yes, but actually no*

[@shadenox8164]

I mean we watched them trying ti figure out if Nagito was Makoto for most of it which they weren't even trying to make you consider, so yes.

To be fair…. Does a protagonist matter to either of them? Anyone can get the protag voice if Arin tries hard enough!

[@jacobjones2365]

So I don't know ANYTHING that's about to happen, but it is REALLY suspicious that Nagito Komaeda not only sounds like, looks like, and shares the same ultimate with Makoto Naegi, but it took me 3 seconds to realize his name is a dang ANAGRAM for it too!!! Must be a coincidence.

[@funtimegamer8733]

Specifically, the full anagram is Makoto Naegi Da, which translates to I'm Makoto Naegi

[@NekoEcho13]

Spoiler The funniest part about it is that it literally is just a coincidence in-game. The people behind the games did it purposefully to make players suspicious/troll them in a way right from the get go. Nagito and Makoto have the same VA in both Japanese and English to further this for all players. 😆

[@nathanrailsback9667]

Warning people of the trolling creators from the beginning: Nagito from this game and Makoto (the main character of the last game) are voiced by the same guy, and look similar. I spent the entire game waiting for a reveal that they were actually the same person, like Nagito was some sort of brain-wiped, brainwashed Makoto. Nope. They are absolutely two different individuals, and the game doesn't even hint at anything otherwise. It's just that Nagito contrasts with Makoto in a few ways that will become apparent over the course of the story.

[@tkodarkshadow9531]

I mean I figured they were just doing the "the tutorial characters of the two games are flipped," because you were the Lucky Talent Student in the first game and the ??? Talent Student in the second game.
