Just finished Danganronpa 2, full spoilers ahead. Let's talk about the series.Is it just me or was the ending a total copout? It seems like Hajime was able to Graduate without losing his memories, and all the Remnants remained in their comas and didn't get uploaded with Junko. How did this happen?
>>343015072
I loved it. Sorry Junko but your plan isn't gonna work.
>>343015365
I mean, I enjoyed the ending. Its very heartfelt and inspiring and a lot happier than the two options they were provided with. I just don't understand how Hajime was able to do what he did.
>>343015519
because fuck Hope and fuck Despair
>komaeda is going to wake up eventually
>>343015610
I think he will definitely wake up because he knew they were in a simulation right? Placebos only work if you don't know its a placebo.
>>343015747
>mikan might wake up too
best girlimo
>>343015519
Because they're going to make their own future.
Love the ending too but never really wrapped my head around him keeping his memories.
I guess he willed himself?
>>343016327
Mikan knew it was a simulation? How?
>>343017987During the diseases she finally got her own portion of it. This portion caused her to remember.
>>343016352
shit taste
tied with hiyoko for worst girl
>>343015072
they didn't graduate they force closed the simulation
still hajime should have turned back into ultimate despair tho
Is Gundam a shy boy?
>>343016583
>>343016557
So power of friendship and hope, basically
>>343018954
gundham is an autist and his hamsters are dead
>>343015519
Because his brain is all fucked up.
CHIAKI IS PHAT
>>343019660
You do realize Chiaki was made by Chihiro right? You're jerking off to a trap's wet dream.
>>343020643
Chiaki is more like his daughteru than his imaginary fucktoy.

Can this Gundam beat The Dark Gundam?
>>343020876
>ultimate programmer making a cute phat girl who is obsessed with video games
>not his wet dream
either that or he wants to fuck his daughter like his mom
>>343021190
>Kirigiri, Mikan, Ibuki and Junko above Mukuro
>>343020643
damn, he made my wet dream too
>>343022203
Man I love Mukuro too but be realistic, she's in the game for like 3 seconds.
>>343015747
He will wake up because his luck isn't gonna let him die
>>343015072
The ending had too much of a "mary sue" feel to it, but it was still alright imo.>tfw you couldn't protect that smile
>>343022916
At least mai waifu lived
>>343023007
Your waifu is a SLUT!
>>343022916aww, you figured it out
>>343023125
Like I care
>>343023125
that was a joke lost in translation.
>>343022338
Yeah, but IF gives her more character development that any female in the series
>>343023257
Irregardless it's canon now
Imbeciles!
She is not some girl with flexible legs!
Fucking dogshit ending.
>lol Junko's the mastermind again
>lol everyone was totally in love with Junko
>lol Junko created Ultimate Despair even though it makes no sense how she got into Hope's Peak Academy during the lockdown without anyone knowing who she was
>lol also she's as smart as Chiaki
>lol also she has a boyfriend who is the smartest and bestest person in the world and is completely in love with her and helps her be evil
>lol also giant tits in case it wasn't clear enough I have a huge fucking boner for this character and want to inspire as much crazy porn as possible
literal Mary Sue tier trash
haven't even played UDG because of how disgustingly terrible that ending was and what an absolute hack the writer(s) turned out to be
>>343023550
Id flex her legs if you catch my point ;)
The gameplay I. The ending works so well though. When everything you say is just blowing junky away. Firing HOPE bullets at her until she can be destroyed is so fucking tight. Hope just crushed the argument for despair and you physically play it out.
It's the closest we will get to going Super Sayain in a lawyer/murder mystery game and I love it.
Does it ever specifically say he remembers everything?
>>343015072
Love Nagito hes my favorite character in 2. He kept the game interesting. RIP to that glorious bastard
Hajime would never do this because he's a big pussy but as soon as I woke up I'd kill Nagito. They're much safer with him dead and there's no "saving" Nagito
>>343024025
>RIP
Implying
>>343022916>tfw that smile doesn't actually exist
>>343023608
I can take her being the mastermind again, but from what i hear she is also the villain in everything else Danganronpa that came out so far.
She isn't that great a villain that she has to be reused 4+ times. Danganronpas Junko obsession is holding the series back.
I'd maybe have prefered Nagito as villain with his insanity making him believe he turned into Junko because he implanted her arm, makes more sense than Junko knowing how to create an Alter Ego
>>343023491
I like her too, lets just leave it at that
>>343024849
>I'd maybe have prefered Nagito as villain with his insanity
No way. Nagito works best as a guy who is in the killing game with everybody else who just happens to play by his own rules. He'd be a shitty mastermind.
>>343025067
It would have been less of an asspull.
If danganronpa 3 also reuses Junko i might drop the series. The cast already looks pretty shit in comparison
>>343025239
it would've been the worst asspull, the game shouldn't focus too hard on Nagito. Make him the mastermind and it's suddenly Nagito: the Game.
Plus I liked Junko in DR2 more than Junko in DR1 so I didn't have a problem with it. If she appears again yeah it'd be shit, but how it ended seemed like the natural conclusion to Junko's story. Letting her die with the euphoric despair of death is shitty because she wins. DR2 she actually loses because Hajime refuses to play her game.
>>343025542
It did a lot better than Danganronpa 1, 1 was way too easy over all
>>343025239
>If danganronpa 3 also reuses Junko i might drop the series.
well she will obviously be part of despair arc showing how they became despair
>>343023157i actually picked everyone else, including myself and all the dead people before her. then when i deducted it down to her i seriously hesitated for a good 5 minutes
>>343023007
You're alright
Where did it imply that they kept their memories? Is there some secret or optional thing I missed? I only remember seeing Hajime standing there on the dock, nothing suggesting he kept the memories.
BEHOLD
MY FOUR DARK DVAS OF DESTRUCTION
>>343026432
"I will keep on living as Hajime Hinata"
If he hadn't kept his memories, he would be Izuru Kamukura.
>>343026620
Yah, but that could just mean he woke up and didn't want to be izuru anymore, could've had a nice chat with Naegi about everything. He could still not remember a single thing about the simulation.
I mean why else would they stay behind? If they all kept the memories why didn't they go with naegi?
>Tfw DR3:D will have high school shenanigans with Komaeda and Hope.
>tfw 2 weeks left.
too bad we won't see much of all of their despair personalities. Mikan was great, made me more curious about how everyone else was before the sim.
On the plus side we can watch Fukihikos sister die.
>>343026930
>Yah, but that could just mean he woke up and didn't want to be izuru anymore
Why would Izuru suddenly not want to be Izuru anymore, if he had none of the simulation memories?
They stayed behind to try to figure out how to wake up their coma friends.
>>343027230
The experience could have still altered them at a subconcious level, they just don't have the memories as to how. Like he wakes up wanting to be hajime, just doesn't know why until Naegi explains it.
I forgot the others stayed in the coma, it's been a while since I played it so yah that's a good reason to stay behind.
Gravel swimsuit
>>343027206
Calling it now. The Sato girl who did it will be best girl in DR3.
>>343027206
I'd be curious how the others looked in real life, seeing as they all did pretty crazy stuff with Junkos bodyparts.
Reallife Hajime should have had at least some scars as well fro mwhat was done to him, instead they just showed him with his hairs cut looking perfectly normal
>>343026231
It will be yet another prequel?
>>343027465
Meh. Its vague enough that you can interpret it a variety of ways, but I think the whole "we'll create our own future!" theme indicates they did keep their memories. At least that's how I see it.
>>343027727
I hate to admit this butYou remember that part of the case where Mikan is all "she probably overreacted and started hurting her, but then she realized she couldn't turn back? I can kinda relate to that." And everybody thinks she's fucking crazy?How could you not relate to it? What was Sato supposed to do once she laid hands on Fuyuhiko's sister? She just attached a Yakuza girl. If she DIDN'T kill her, she'd be dead.
>>343027875
>It will be yet another prequel?
there are two series that will be shown simultaneously: Despair and Future. Despair is how the SDR2 kids fell into despair, so it's a prequel. Future is about what's going on with the FF after SDR2.
>>343027875
Danganronpa 3 is the anime that is two seasons airing simultaneously.
The Future arc is the direct sequel to DR2 revolving around Makoto, Kirigiri and other members of the FF.
The Despair arc is the direct prequel to DR2 showing how the cast became Remnants of Despair.
>>343027875
That's true, but it might not have been anything dramatic, like an eye or something, and his eyes change color all the time. I don't know.
Hope is a Sequel to the Series
Despair is a Prequel, focusing on the cast of 2 in High School as they became Despair.
>>343028028
What? I'm saying that Sato will be the best girl in Dangan Ronpa 3
>>343028305
I wasn't really agreeing or disagreeing, but the fact you brought up Sato made me remember that.
>>343028261
The art style is pretty bad.
>killing off the protagonist of the first game in the manga
Why is this allowed?
>>343028305
They did all kinds of brain surgery on him. Sure, the scars might be hidden under his hair, but some change compared to his ideal self would have been nice
>>343027875
Akane starved herself so she's completely anorexic in real life.
Sonia should look the same since all she did was give her parents to Junko.
Fuyuhiko carved his eye out for Junko's.
I think that's about it from what we know..
>>343028261
>>343028305
>>343028432
Will Hajime/Izuru even appear in DR3? Wasn't he like a locked up secret that noone could find info about? Except for jumpstarting the tragedy I don't think he really spent time enjoying High School.
>>343029319
He's in it
>>343029569
If the anime is about how they became Despair, wouldn't he already be Izuru? Why is he Hajime in this poster.Unless it's not a prequel but a Sequel to DR2, and they use the Neo World Program to go back in their memories to replay High School to stop them from being Despair and find a way to wake up all of their friends.
>>343030000
>the prequel was a sequel all along
shieeeeet, you might be onto something here
>>343027206
Since there won't be any class trials and other gameplay elements it's probably going to be a lot better than DR's adaptation
I'm really hyped
I really like Hiyoko
Gotta be honest I hated DR 2 after getting to the end. It WAS a complete cop out.
Because when you get down to it, this story has little to no impact on shit going on in the setting beyond a quick "Oh hey, Hope reallty DOES overcome despair, thanks guys!" moment.
You/Hinata do not get to solve the mystery of what's going on. At least Naegi figured out the shit Junko was up to. Instead, you get a bullshit game where after curtain pull after curtain pull, the cast from DR1 has to show up to *explain* all this crap that's going on. You don't make a fucking mystery game and then NOT allow the player to actually solve the mystery! And even if they made the 'right'/hopeful decision at the end (at least there's that. Because Fuck Junko.) it's a fucking sham that the game refuses to let you see any of the protagonists. For that matter what does it matter? No matter what else goes on in the story beyond the game, the characters won't matter any more. They're perpetually stuck on the island with a bunch of their friends in plot stasis tubes, and may never awaken. How hopeful indeed...
>>343028261
>fukawa and togami not listed in the cast
I hope they'll still make an appearance, even if it's brief
In Mikan's Island Mode ending, she considers inflicting Hajime with some type of injury so that he'd rely on her treatment for life.
The "correct answer" in Mikan's Island Mode ending is to propose to her after that.
Why do people like Mikan
>>343027574
Just from that video?
Just from that camera angle?
Just from that dim candlelight?
>>343033250
Anyway, who doesn't love yanderes?>inb4 not literally yandere
No, she is clearly lovesick per definition
>>343035342
I liked Mikan, and just felt bad for her since she was treated like garbage her whole life and easily manipulated by Junko
>>343035446
Except of her being Ultimate Nurse(Which I loved because my waifu is a nurse), I never cared about her.
Then 2-3 happenedand YOU SHOULD BE FORGIVING HER RIGHT NOW!
