@@grace.0310 I agree with you! (not pun intended) Junko made the students in Hopes Peak Academy join the killing game, and even after she died, she still caused world chaos with the kids she brainwashed + her AI which she completed in weeks! And she barely has any knowledge about AI at the time(If I'm correct), not only that, even when she knew that Makoto could ruin her plans, unlike Tsumugi, she didn't get rid of him because she wanted to feel despair. Tsumugi only wanted her beloved killing game to go on, while Junko wanted to paint the world in despair, Tsumugi failed in doing her dreams, while Junko was successful.

In terms of the game itself, DRv3 cast were trapped in the worst situation. Mugi could bend the rules as she wished and had nothing to stop her. While Junko had to follow the clear rules, in DR1 due to the specifics of her goal, and due to being programmatically restrained in DR2. As a mastermind though, Junko is to Mugi what an eldritch evil would be to a human villain, just completely another level. P.S. Keep in mind, that depending on how one views the hints on v3's backstory, Mugi may be a tragic villain - the other survivor along with Rantaro, and her price for choosing hope was to play the role of the mastermind in the 53rd game...

I really like how the lyric "good easily fades away" plays when it shows Kaede and Kaito.

Also Tsumugi really does give Crazy Korean Cosplayer Mastermind vibes!!

I mean, not both of them. Kaede truly was a good person, she didn't even kill anyone. Kaito was a jerk though.

[@hadstrotheluckyguy8180]

@@Sakachi18 Can you explain your point on how Kaito was a jerk? He helped Shuichi and Maki grow as a person and he did want to protect everyone as shown when he talks to Shuichi. Also both of them were bad before the games including Kaede, Tsumugi showed that. They did commit a bad act which is murder but for a good cause(For Kaede's motive she wanted to kill the mastermind, for Kaito's motive he wanted to end the game and prevent further murders).

[@Sakachi18]

@@hadstrotheluckyguy8180 He was physically abusive. He attacked people whenever he got mad because they didn't agree with him or follow his ideals, so he would punch them and yell at them to try to get them to be like him. He always took credit for everything that Shuichi did (even if everyone always knew he did nothing and didn't believe him) and refused to believe it could have been Gonta, to the point that he was a jerk to Shuichi and guilt tripped him for believing it was Gonta. I'm not saying he was the worst person, but he was a self centered jerk who believed the world revolved around him and was a bully to anyone whose opinions differed from his.

[@hadstrotheluckyguy8180]

@@Sakachi18 Hmm you're right I think the main reason why Kaito was so abusive and all that was because he was so emotionally unstable. Whenever he felt mad he couldn't control it to the fact he punches someone. He also really really values belief over logic which is why he can even go and beyond defy logic and reason. He also has a hero complex which may make him look at himself soo highly and think everything he's doing is good. Well Kaito may have his jerky moments but I'm pretty sure inside he's a good and justified person. He really did just want to stop the killing game and just help everyone escape. I suggest you go play or watch his FTE's. That may redeem him a bit.

[@corpsebrigadepowerhouse993]

I can see why it’s pretty divisive, what I liked about it was the commentary on franchises as a whole. So many series continue just for the sake of it, and Danganronpa has always been a tricky series to work on I feel. The first game established the characters as the sole survivors of Hopes Peak so following it up with another group of Hopes Peaks students wouldn’t really make sense but they managed to work that limitation into the mystery itself with DR2’s cast. I feel like they’ve always tried to work around stuff like that in as creative of a way as possible. At any point they could’ve just as easily said screw it and gone the cheap route with their storytelling even if it contradicted previously established material, which is where V3 comes in showing the worst case scenario for not only the company but for the fans as well, giving one last hurrah to lay the series to rest properly before it devolved into something like what the game itself showed

[@HawaiianGirl808232]

To be honest, I've never really enjoyed the twist endings of the first 2 games but I love what they did with V3.

[@corpsebrigadepowerhouse993]

@@HawaiianGirl808232 to each their own, I adore the series overall. Actually managed to guess most of the twists before they happened not because they were obvious but I was usually trying to piece stuff together in my head as things went along which I enjoyed. The presentation as well with the endings was really good like with 2’s world devolving into a glitchy mess with that creepy 8 bit music alongside it. Meanwhile Junko I just enjoy as a villain, her demented duality of wanting to hurt the people she loves so she can in turn hurt herself emotionally I think is uniquely demented

[@justkomixo]

@@shoko1938 he hated the killing game and sacrificed himself for the sake of ending it once and for all. He left a will ("this isn't a will") in case his plan fails and tried to help Shuichi to figure a way to end the game. Honestly, I think even his freetime events are very telling. In FTEs with Kaede he tells her he cares about her and the others. His FTEs with Shuichi foreshadow the ending. It's like he taught Shuichi that you don't need to PLAY a game to win it. That's a neat detail. Akamatsu died because she tried to oppose the mastermind and make everyone cooperate. Which is way he was opposed to everyone's cooperation (at least not openly!). He distrusted everyone, but still cared about them, so he made everyone hate him to portray himself as the villain. That's why everyone believed him when he revealed himself as the mastermind. They hated him so much they WANTED him to be evil, and that's what he was counting on. He knows how blind people be and how they wish to ignore the truth because lying is easier, so he successfully used it. I think he's really empathetic person. Even though he tried to make himself look as malicious as possible, he still showed care and helped the cast. Like he did with Yumeno in the 3rd chapter, calling her out on supressing her emotions and making her listen to Chabashira's advice. He felt so shitty during the 4th trial he literally broke down crying because he sent his only friend to death (and then needed to cover his weakness up, don't let anyone, especially the mastermind, know he cares). He tried his best to comfort Gonta before his execution (like making a promise he knew he couldn't fullfill) and "revealed" himself only after Gonta's death, so he wouldn't die in despair in heart. When he could've just drink the antidote and survive, let Momota and Harukawa die (and they weren't exactly his friends), but he gave it to Momota, finally trusting him with his plan and died. He's interesting when you think about his words and actions. It's surprising how often he tells the truth, but everyone dismisses it as a lie (even himself).

[@venttsur2021]

tbh I always see *Tsumugi* a _better antagonist_ than *Junko* because 1.) its not focusing on too much of the despair~ 2.) her motive is different but the fact that she is SMART, as shown playing cards with Kokichi since he is slowly starting to know who is the mastermind which Tsumugi made a huge move to make him more of a mastermind so that he isn’t able to find out even in the beginning, finding who is the perfect victim and killer which is Rantaro and Kaede she is finding a good plotline for each characters just like writers who make a plot/story

[@3DOM_]

I definitely think tsumugi makes sense. Not only from the cosplay perspective and an obsession with fiction but also her being the most plain out of everyone all makes it feel like she was made to be the mastermind. My main issue is that for one, the reveal gets kinda cut-off by the game’s literally mind blowing second reveal which doesn’t really allow us much time to understand her true self since instead she spends more of her time as a villain explaining the plot twist. My second issue is that we never really got anything clues from how she acted so even though in hindsight it makes sense, while playing it feels like a complete 180.

[@oceanna7550]

The way she’s posed at 3:10 really does give performer; the wide arms, the screens at her back, the slight flush, it all gives that of an actor successfully pulling off her finale. 0:30 I love the EYE she gives us here it’s absolutely flawless for a performer 0:39 this moment too!! She’s so ready to take her stage 0:48 ughhhh I love her 1:00 NO. I SAW THIS SO FAST… 1:12 she saw the death flag in the making and went so quick.. 1:18 like a queen keeping control on her kingdom… 1:40 this moment kills me. THIS is what Danganronpa is about: the protagonist standing against the villain. Their values fighting. 2:07 his frown… god I love Kokichi. I’m so obsessed 2:46 I’m WITH Shirogane in this moment 2:56 NO SHES NOT ALLOWED NOT HIM 3:19 this moment… kills me. Ugh she’s so condescending. This is her show. The idea of an overthrow is so cute to her 3:52 THIS MOMENT. HER VICTIMS STANDING IN THE BACKGROUND AS SHE TAKES HER BOWS. MONOKUMA AT HER SIDE, A GENTLEMAN ACCOMPANYING HIS LADY. THIS IS TSUMUGI’S CURTAIN CALL 3:42 fantastic. Wonderful callback. This is who she needs to be now

[@reddeath5791]

This is my favorite representation of Tsumugi Shirogane, I love this twisted fangirl yet evil mastermind personality she shows through the entire video

[@gumdropzpop]

I remember seeing the WIP a year ago, and the finished project is so beautiful! The art and themes are so amazing.

[@kheechuu]

thank you so much! hehe i hope the wait was worth it! i really worked on this very hard!

[@gregorytsumiki899]

When Tsumugi looks at the mirror she sees a reflection of Junko and then she walked out. Also, it's so underrated,we need more of this

[@kheechuu]

2 Million Views. Thank you all so much, i know most people subscribed to my channel from this video. i hope that if you enjoyed it that you maybe check out my other videos too! i love making animatics and all kinds of videos, im just also a very busy person haha. thank you for your love and support! i wonder if this animatic changed your opinions of V3 or Tsumugi

[@freshyow8476]

WOOOOOO!

[@iamafoolyesiam]

[@dakuownnn]

Yep, i'll check

[@anotherrandomperson9174]

It definitely did! It made me notice how much of a performer Tsumugi is. She really is constantly flaunting for the camera, with Monokuma serving as accompaniment. This animatic truly changed my experience of Tsumugi in chapter 6.

[@Localluenatic]

I think youtube should focus on actually putting restrictions on unsafe content not some cool animatic made my a cool person

[@mayovketchup]

Funny how videos of actual gameplays of dr that contains actual death scenes aren’t age restricted lmfaooo

[@poofheaderhat8114]

As someone who has Tsumugi as my overall favorite character, this makes me appreciate her so much more. The depiction on what's going on when she's not on screen is so perfect and the visuals on how the murders occurred is soooo cool and amazing! The artstyle also complements the song. Really well done! Love this

[@insertnamehere1398]

kokichi actually edited a tablet that revealed tsumugi's true nature (I'm assuming to disguise it)

[@BlooDinner]

This was incredible!! You can tell the amount of thought and effort that went into it, and it definitely shows off how interesting an antagonist Tsumugi is!!

[@kheechuu]

thank you so much dan!!! i super appreciate all the praise you had for this in our call!! honestly tsumugi is a great antag with so many fun concepts XD

[@Rosa-he6xb]

Tsumugi is honestly my favorite mastermind out of the series. I mean Junko was great in the first game, but she got old after her reappearing after her death). Monaca was good in UDG, but then they ruined her in the anime(haven’t seen it, just the clip of what they did to Monaca) by sending her to space. Don’t know who the mastermind is in anime for Future arc and Izuru was overshadowed by 3D Junko in DR2. Tsumugi is one of the masterminds that isn’t giving too much screen time(Junko *coughs* ), isn’t overshadowed, and has an interesting character when you think about her being a plain fan of Danganronpa wanting to join her favorite series(maybe to feel special or like somebody).

[@rinapplepie2118]

@@Rosa-he6xb I totally agree with you,Tsumugi totally had them around her fingers

[@Steven-iw5cj]

Exactly! The fact that Tsumugi acted all irrelevant and useless really made her look like shes too dumb to be the mastermind though kind of predictable but I still was a little stunned by her reveal as the mastermind😅. TBH I thought it was kaede because to me she was being too positive

[@sxpxrnxvas.]

Tsumugi is definitely not my favorite character, but you drew her so evil and deceiving it makes her look so cool like whAT?!?💜

[@lilrainbowcorn3057]

This is the BEST animation I've ever seen literally!!! I'm probably looking way into this but when kokichi and tsumugi were playing cards, it shows that kokichi almost winning and I think that like a little secret you put into the animation because kokichi thought he had the whole game figured out but when tsumugi shows her last card showing junko, it shows that tsumugi had one last thing up her sleeve. Now..... am I just looking too much into things haha?

[@woahthisisinteresting4369]

[@sunshinetw2296]

I can't begin to convey how much I'm in love with this animatic!! Honestly? Tsumugi has always been one of my favorite characters and I just adore her character so much! I love all of the small details you added to the animatic, Like the part where they're playing the card game, the symbolization of the game itself as their little battle and the fact that one card had DICE on it and was the King card which made me think about how Kokichi claimed to be the "King of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juvenile" and the Supreme Leader of Evil, and the fact the card Mugi's last card was Junko and was the Joker card, which were both *chef's kiss* Or the millisecond when Kokichi is being crushed and his smile fading into a frown (I totally didnt cry when I noticed that, totally) And I really love the mirror scene, because it indicates how much Tsumugi was just DONE with everything - She worked for Team Danganronpa with the mindset that everyone loved Danganronpa and want the seasons to keep on coming, and probably enjoyed her job there, so when she got the role to be the mastermind she was probably very excited to serve such a role. But then of course, she had to meet the, and I quote, "SELF RIGHTEOUS BRAT!" in the finale, and her entire mindset was probably more or less shattered, since it wasn't that they didnt vote or refused to vote, the AUDIENCE helped the three (and Keebo) and ended the killing game, and I feel like Tsumugi's look being like the way it was even before the boulder came proves it in some way. (That expression hurt me in a whole different way, since she didn't even look the slightest happy to die there and then) But yeah, tl;dr - Me rambling about how I love the details of this animatic and was waiting for this finished version so long that I'm absolutely adoring this creation. The wait was definitely worth it! Now, time to check the Zine...

[@wonderyuvu8089]

That kokichi scene hits harder than kiibo destroying the academy

[@lycusii1387]

no one really shows the impact tsumigi had on shuichi, you showed it perfectly, 1:40 and 2:15 . this is great

[@AsahiIsLate]

This animatic is so good :sob: I especially loved the part where she keeps switching characters! Congrats for your good work, khee!!

[@kheechuu]

thank you very much!! aahaa gosh one of my fav parts of her entire presentation in trial 6. GOD I SCREAMED SO LOUD WHEN I PLAYED IT hahah i loved it so much

[@mbrambl]

Absolute banger!!! Wonderful work Khee!!!! Inevitable Komaeda at 2:57

I can't stop watching this animatic. I just love everything about it

[@Lemonononono]

[@eliza-what]

Agree

[@Dummy262]

2:21 I like how even though she’s a bit annoyed Tsumugi was also thinking “good content”

[@aliflim649]

The two most iconic tsumugi animations of all time 1. The long and short festival 2. The villain animatic (yours)

[@tasty7866]

I mean i always liked Tsumugi and after this video i like her even more, she really feels like a character, not the "empty husk we'll use to show all og characters". And in the end of the video your like "Huh, i haven't seen too much Shuichi, Himiko, Keebo and so on that's weird" because we have an actual video about Tsumugi and her persona

[@c1oudy_kisses]

2:14 Maki crying makes me cry.

[@blulshit]

this actually made tsumugi to one of my favorite characters because i realize how interesting she actually is

[@Mickspad]

It sucks that everyone seems to hate Tsumugi but god damn she's one of my favorite characters in the series and this video was amazing!

[@AMotherOf_Zero]

Ikr shes so ✨gorgeous✨ even if she is evil

[@zarellamoz]

Ksbxkdnd I like tsumugi

[@heptuneuwuz3842]

Tsumugi’s awesome but I don’t see much content of her because she’s really disliked but I genuinely love her so this is exactly what I needed 😔✨

[@cc_trash]

I can't for the life of me stop comming back, i have NO JOKE seen this ATLEAST LIKE 20 TIMES

[@star_falls8861]

Oh, and did i forget to say that I absolutely ADORE this artstyle? You inspired me so so so much!

[@ariana2600]

I have seen this a lot of times, and I have to commend this. It's just so awesome, the details, the style, the position of the characters, the scenes, etc. I love how cute it is like I already was thinking "this art style is super cute" when Tsumugi smirked when Monokuma told them about the killing game, or when Kaede was smiling at Shuichi, everything is super cute. I love when Kokichi started playing cards with the mastermind and those little details like when Kokichi stops smiling when he's about to be crushed, or even when Tsumugi stopped cosplaying Junko, and has resigned to waiting for her death by giving an ovation as if she had finished a play. But I'm sure my favorite part is when Tsumugi started cosplaying, I think almost died of a heatstroke of how cute it is. Everyone Tsumugi cosplays look so adorable I'm dying, especially Junko, Chiaki, Makoto, Kyoko, and Hajime. And I know I repeat how cute it looks, but it is. But at the same time, it brings me so much sadness, and I guess that, despair too. Hurts seeing everything happening again, and how great the songs fit with it (or better said, how well you made the game fit the song). When she reveals to be the mastermind, gave a lot of excitement, but when they reject Danganronpa? Damn, that gave me chills, so cool Everything is awesome, and I can't even express myself to say how much I love this animation. Great Job

[@mangoes.]

Woo! I loved the WIP animatic-I bet i’m gonna love this one even more!

[@kheechuu]

thank you! im so happy to see that people were anticipating this animatic!

[@HeroSandwitch]

I’m just imagining how the characters feel to see past danganronpa participants…

[@kurisurisuku]

The “I’m tired of being the main character so i become a villain instead”

[@x.mikuismylover.x]

I Like How The Card Kichi Picked(Diamonds) Was His Mask And The Card Tsumugi Had(The Joker) Was Junko

[@radiantheguy]

I missed the premiere cause I fell asleep, but my god this is good! I think my favorite part is towards the end when Tsumugi looks in the cracked mirror and sees herself dresses up as Junko. This animatic really captures why I love her so much, so thank you for doing Tsumugi justice.

[@LexiyTei]

Really sad to see this being age restricted, it was a true masterpiece.

[@Randm-dspar-bsh]

THE WAY YOU DREW TSUMUGI TRANSFORMING INTO THE OTHER CHARACTERS IS JUST ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕 I LOVE THIS

[@CWinteruu]

I can't believe how much this video is getting the attention it deserves just in a few days! I'm here since 10k views :D I've repeated this video at least one time a day

[@kheechuu]

thank you! honestly i find it hard to imagine that my animatic has been watched this many times so quickly either ahaha im very grateful

[@liviobarreirio3088]

among all the other different drv3 "summary" animatics you definitely made your mark with that one! Your excellent choice of song, your depiction of tsumugi's demeanor and way of drawing everyone's emotions make it playful and fun and alive and it pleases the danganronpa part of my heart in a new way, I'm looking forward from possible new stuff from you :D

[@khaenriya]

deadass got 4 warnings before this youtube it aint that deep😭

[@Trevorcraft71]

man im coming back to this after replaying chapter one and it just stings never trusting bathrooms as an alibi for the rest of my life.

[@flowerene2630]

Omg I’m pretty sure a wip of this animatic is what got me obsessed w this song- This is so good holy shit-

[@strawberrysweater5573]

this is so so cool, i love everything about it!! i just finished v3 and i vaguely knew the whole time that tsumugi was the mastermind because i got spoiled for it, but actually seeing the big reveal that she was made me start to actually like her and the way you've portrayed her perfectly encapsulates why i do! i think she's a super cool antagonist, and i really like how you showed her reactions behind the scenes to things that happened during the game; shuichi becoming the new protagonist, kokichi's shenanigans, kaito's execution, the refusal to vote in the chapter 6 trial, etc. i love that part where she's looking in the mirror again but it's all shattered and she just looks so tired. i can only imagine, after the way chapters 5 and 6 went off the rails LMAO i also really love the way kaito and kokichi are centered in frame at "so many shades of gray", shuichi pointing at kaede with the "you're a villain", kokichi's antics being represented as him and tsumugi playing a card game, the music cutting out for the whole explanation that tsumugi actually killed rantaro and building tension for the big reveal, all the fun costume switching, her bow at the end, the limited color palette, the framing of the shots, the way the lyrics fit everything that's happening! it's all really good! i'm probably gonna watch this like a million more times, it's clear you put a ton of effort into it and it really shows!

[@achannel2916]

2:50 Personal time stamp :>

[@gontagokuhara5262]

I can’t believe there’s a warning on this video. Is it because of Keade’s hanging

It’s crazy that the wip for this came out exactly a year ago! It feels like yesterday! I can see the improvement in your art and I just love it all!! I wish I could support you and buy your art, but I’m broke lol, so I just wanted to say that your art is beautiful and I am beyond amazed by how good every scene looks!

[@arabelleproductions3682]

1:00 So I’m rewatching this video again after seeing it a couple of days ago and I just remembered this detail I saw. Idk if it’s intentional or not, but when Tsugumi holds the portrait in front of the crowd of students, wondering who should be the victim/murderer, when it was over kokichi and Kaito, was that intentional to reference the fact she didn’t know who was the murderer/victim in their case later on? Or was it just random characters you choose? If it’s the former then I’m so happy I got that detail

[@tasha.j4de]

AWWW MAN I JUST LOVE HOW YOU WENT WITH THIS! It showed enough of the story of V3 from Tsumugi's POV, while still blending beautifully with the lyrics of the song and its rhythm ( * A * ) And the expressions you showed for each and every character, especially in Tsumugi's cosplaying in the final trial was soooo cool! That scene, the scene of her and Kokichi casually playing cards (Is that to reference the time Kokichi pretended to be the Mastermind?) up until the sudden silence to show the "true" events that led up to the first trial's death- those are most certainly my favorite scenes here aaaaaa The ending too, with the switching cosplays.... aaaaahhh I'm gonna go replay this now, good job on this animatic!

It’s soooo wonderful khee!! I love love love it everything about it is beautiful and well thought out I liked how you still able to fit all the V3 cast even though it’s mainly tsumugi focused I also loved the little details you put like between tsumugi and kokichi’s little game and then transitioned between kokichi and kaito so great and how at the beginning with tsumugi mirrors her down fall at the end I also really liked how you matched the drawings with a lyrics and the paces to the beat of the song it’s amazing!!! And the ending was * mwah * perfection!!✨✨💕 You put a lot of love into this project I admire your creativity and care to your animatic I cannot wait see your next future project’s!!.😄😄❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE THIS SONG. I've been listening to it for a while and its underrated. This animatic perfectly embodies the lyrics of the song!

[@Nemu_Hiiragi]

I'm obsessed with this song & the animation... the little details in the animation, the meaning of the song is just on point. This is my 39th time i listen to this song, this truly gave Tsumugi the love and justice she needs. Also its disgusting that this doesn't have ads because youtube's a 🏖
