Hopes Peak missed the mark when it came to finding Hajime's true talent.
Hajime's active involvement in Peko's FTE is part of reason why it's my favorite.

Nah, I feel as though that is pretty accurate to the Ultimate Hope title.
Didn't we have this same exchange like 50 pages ago.

Yeah I can understand that Hunko was in a hurry to kill them. I was wondering if she could just have made them remember their Ultimate Despair selves and then easily kill faster, but then Makoto and the others probably wouldn't come. Technically, not killing Mukuro was against the rules. That's why Akane was about to be killed in Chapter 3. And yeah I can understand Sakura. But anyways, like I said before, I can understand why Monokuma arranged those motives and situations, but even then my point was that those lessens the game's quality (from my opinion), even if they make sense.
You could talk like that about almost any of the other characters.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Huh, pretty interesting stuff.

Fair enough
Precisely. Every character seems like a goofy shit until they get more attention in the story and from the player.

lol I wrote "Hunko"
Yeah that kinda sucks in a way because, if you don't like a character, you won't want to try to do their FTEs and thus you'll stay with the same opinion of them. (Though there's a possibility that you would still not like them after that.)

The randomness of the Monomono Machine really helped me with that. I started a lot of FTEs with characters I didn't plan to at the outset because I got the perfect present for them by random chance.

The first half of the Dangaronpa 2 mini figures arrived!
And here are the selected best characters from the set. If Kuzuryuu and Peko were part of this set, I wouldn't have needed to even get the second set lol
Also got a block calender for this too. It looks awesome.

I finally got my platinum last night. Now I just feel the despair of waiting for localization of Another Episode to be announced.

The truth behind Gundham's motive
dakkumauji

but in reality it was a chicken though
If a lie is a believable lie, it can become reality. Sort of the go to when considering how everything involving the actual cast worked, I believe.
Well, in this case it's more about physiological effects and not psychological ones, which is what the purpose of the VR was for. Whether one believes they have to eat or not, that wouldn't impact whether it was actually necessary or not, unless the lie was so acute that a placebo effect so significant would take place that it could lead to one's demise. Then again, I guess it's never really shown that one can actually die of hunger inside the VR.

Maybe they were uploaded as tamagotchi pets and they just suffer through the needs of hunger and sleep as it was built in.
Well, I feel it'd work on the same principal of dying. They'd probably believe they're getting weaker/hungry and proceed to feel as they do despite their actual bodies not needing as much. Hunger and weakness, while caused by physical means, is still something you experience psychologically. If they die from it, it happens in the same way as other deaths.

Tamagotchi-ception?
Also, everyone had their own e-Handbook, right? So does that means everyone their own pet too?
dakkumauji
Member
Probably. But most people's pet would be long dead probably a day in.
I imagine only Hajime, Nanami and Gundham will have unlocked the mysteries of the Tamagotchi.
I wonder how their actual bodies were maintained.
If time progresses in the game world at the same rate as the real world, then that would mean their bodies would require sustenance, right? Since they were in the VR world for a prolonged period of time.
Each of the students would require a catheter and an IV drip + bedside (err, podside) care.

Oh my god. You need to commercialize these, man. You'd make a killing.
Too soon. Too soon.

So you haven't hung out with them yet?
I missed an "had" there, dammit.
That's pretty awesome! I still remember the Kirigiri one.
Just finished reading Danganronpa/Zero and wow. After reading Danganronpa IF and finding it to have pretty terrible writing and an overall story, I wasn't too sure about this prequel novel going into it, but it's actually fantastic. Not only does it do a good job of filling out some of the background behind Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2, but it definitely has one of the best twists in the series. Didn't see that one coming at all, especially since I felt the novel to be plodding at times, but even some of the most minor details are used for foreshadowing and it all pays off magnificently in the end. I was impressed, since I wasn't expecting much. I'm actually surprised I wasn't spoiled on this one, seeing how crazy it is and, now that I've finished the novel, it's pretty easy to come across by searching.
It's made me anticipate Danganronpa: AE more. I wasn't really expecting much from a story that's not a "main game", but if they could pull that awesomeness with a prequel novel, I want to find out if the spin-off game could do the same. It probably won't happen, but I'd love an official localization of Danganronpa/Zero.
Also (potential DR/Zero spoilers):

It actually made me appreciate
more as a character, after DR2 had made me somewhat tired of her.

I have not read IF (hopefully one of the things I have not spoiled for myself yet before I get a chance to buy myself a Vita) but I read DR0. I liked Ryouko a lot. She's so innocent and cherful ^w^

Yeah, Zero was better than expected. Honestly, it would've been great if it had come out before DR2 like in Japan. Even if only so that it'd still have the mystery of "who the fuck is Izuru Kamakura" when you read it before going into 2.
The twist of Hajime being Izuru would definitely have been crazier if one read DR/Zero before playing DR2. The novel gives more context as to the character's significance, so yeah, I agree.
I can corroborate this. Reading DR:0 in advance made that reveal all the more impactful.
Much better.

wasn't IF written by a Japanese novelist or something?

It's an extended version of a Mukuro x Naegi fanfic that I could find in fanfiction.net, so no.
The writer of Baccano!/Durarara.

Based Narita.
It could easily be an issue with the translation. Or maybe its just his writing style that people aren't used to.
I didn't like the plot, either. IF was just lame all-around, even though I had initially thought a what-if story like that could be neat.
That part was cringe-y (and so were other parts due to writing), but I thought it was cool that Mukuro betrayed Junko and went all badass and I thought the idea that people trust Makoto due to memories was nice. They could have definitely done it a lot better though.
