Well she has to earn it first. The Ultimate Little Sister title is no joke.
It would be interesting if they ever go into how people gain their Ultimate titles.
For me, the worst title was Ultimate Clairvoyant. How can you be clairvoyant when you're only correct 30% of the time?

I wonder if you get a plaque in the mail. Or a snazzy membership card.
I guess the standard for psychic ability in DR world is pretty low.

When they got an Ultimate Clairvoyant with only 30% of succes rate I doubt it's that difficult.
Considering psychic stuff isn't real, that's pretty impressive. He's probably Ultimate by proxy of 30% being more than most people could do.
what on earth does the Ultimate Little Sister even entail
I subscribe to the theory that they just gave her a bullshit title because the Yakuza wanted her in and you don't cross the Yakuza.
I always found it funny that the ultimate clairvoyant seemed like a total stoner.
They might do it in side materials eventually. Not sure if they'd take the time out of a main game to do that, sadly.
It involves knocking on their sibling's door until 3AM.

I have a feeling that an Ultimate Lucky Student/Nagito would be a better fortune teller while guessing than Hagakure.

Speaking of abilities, I'm pretty disappointed that some of the cast, like Akane, never even got to display their talents. With her especially, I feel like "Ultimate Gymnast" was something they just slapped on.
She should of been "Ultimate Eater".
She should of been "Ultimate Eater".
He does display some legit psychic ability in DR1, he just doesn't know it, and he obviously has no idea how to harness his ability.

As I said above, Ultimate Little Sister. It's hilarious, but I don't understand how that can be quantified in any way.
Ultimate Clairvoyant would of been fine if the character wasn't a complete moron. Psychic ability is interesting IMO.
Ultimate Affluent Progeny and Ultimate Clairvoyant are stupid as hell, all of the others excluding Lucky Student are legitimate talents

Ultimate Clairvoyant would have been a cool title if you know the guy had at least a passing rate of success.

That's one of the reasons I hated Akane that much. If you're gonna waste an Ultimate talent on a character who acts nothing like that, who ends up surviving, don't let it be something cool like Ultimate Gymnast. And it shows since she's the only character in the cast who is like that (and Hiyoko too I think).
I do remember he telling Naegi that their children would share the same mother.
And that ends up happening in the bad ending lol

I'm sorry, but Ultimate Doujinshi Artist is not a good talent in any way, unless you really want your fap material to be of the highest quality.

I wasn't expecting to care for Akane that much, but she grew on me, but I agree that the Ultimate Gymnast talent was completely wasted on her. They could of done some cool stuff with that, but it ended by being almost completely meaningless. (Beyond some off-hand mentions in her FTEs.) The part where she hoists Hajime up on her shoulders would of been the perfect opportunity, but instead they just made more sex jokes.

Well from the first game we have the
To give just a little credit to Hiyoko, she does do some 'dance' in one of the CG events. If you can really call waving a fan up and down in a kimono a dance.

When I read that title the first thing that came to my mind was "My Ultimate Little Sister Can't Be This Dead" >.>
Hope's Peak staff member: "You, you're now the Ultimate ________. Now shut up and join this high school"
I hope not. I was fine with her returning in DR2, since it really fit the idea of breaking away from ones past that the game keeps going back to. Even if they found another way to bring Junko back again that worked, I'd still be disappointed since it's already been done. DR3 needs a new mastermind.
Now Alter Ego they can keep bringing back as many times as they want. That was one of my favorite surprises in this game, even if it was just a small part.

Should have been Ultimate Boobs.
Yeah I hated that in the first game too. Specially when Celeste's execution didn't feature anything related to gambling. And I haven't seen any of the extra events, gonna change that soon.

I really like Sonia, don't get me wrong, but Ultimate Princess has always kind of struck me as a funny Ultimate skill.
Haha, that scene was so funny
Me: Oh, so this is when she shows off her Ultimate Gymnast talent, right? Right?!?
Akane: Gimme a boost Hajime!
Oh...
So Anna from Frozen?
That's actually the entire point. Her FTEs explain she really doesn't give a shit about gymnastics. She's not passionate about it, she's just good at it. She only does it for money and and survival, like just about everything she does.
A person's talent don't define who that person is. I may be good at something but if I don't have a passion for that thing and it has no reflection on my personality, then it is largely irrelevant. It's very realistic to have people who's character isn't defined by their talent. That happens all the time in humans.

Ok thanks for the questions guys. I'll forward it to my friend. If there are any more let me know.
In the sense that she doesn't really put any importance on being talented and just does whatever like she was a normal person? Yeah I agree. Though Makoto was kinda like that too.
MiguelMexMIstery

Meh, doesn't do anything for me. Wasted Ultimate talent. If they wanted to go that route at least give her a lame Ultimate talent.
Leon in the first game was executed better that way imo
I think it'd be too predictable to make everyone's story role something to do with their talent every single time. Like I said, talents don't define people. I'd rather them focus on character than talents.
Except in certain instances, the talents are mostly inconsequential.
He was technically the ultimate scammer, he made tons of money off his predictions if I recall. Then spent most of it on his crystal ball. I think that deserves recognition. Still wish he died in DR 1.
It's not really a matter of good talent or not, it's just that in the sea of wannabe doujin creators, Hifumi was the absolute best: Nerd to a crystallized form. That's what Hope's Peak was all about. That's why you get Ultimate Idols, Ultimate Prefects, and Ultimate Gang Leaders.

Hmm, I see your point. The only other example I can see in DR2 is that you would expect the Ultimate Mechanic to be smart but Kazuichi is the opposite, and maybe Hiyoko but it's more about her appareance than her talent. Still, would have liked her more if she used her talent a few other times even if she didn't like it or if she was given another talent.
That makes sense. lol
He wasn't arguing about that, he just answered to a guy's question about which talent we think is the worst.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO A SMALL SUBSET OF PEOPLE OKAY

Why don't you quote people? Sometimes it's difficult to see who are you referring to.
Haha, I forgot about that part. One thing I want from DR3 is the removal of the "ludicrously stupid person" archetype both of these games had. Although I guess Akane's sort of in between Hiro and Hina on the IQ chart. No one's as dumb as Hiro. And I liked Hiro!

Yeah, but it was super duper important to know if that Kirigiri standing across the room in the class trial was a ghost or not. Super Duper Important.
would totally be in support of this.

One of the things I liked about Kaz, is that despite the fact that he was pretty stupid, he turned out to be very succesful most of the times.
The whole Ultimate Detective thing was a fake, Kirigiri's true "???" talent was the Ultimate Ghost all along.
You know, one thing I thought would've made Hiro's title make sense, which they never touched on again, was that his "flunking 3 times" was actually in reference to their predicament.
Like he subconsciously realized that 3 years had passed, but couldn't make the connection, so just thought it'd happened in the past.
