obligatory saimota posting hours!!
they make me sick :]/aff
(warning that there are a TON of images, I had a lot saved and the ones on this post isn't even all of it T-T)
this is in no way a good analysis post, moreso just be screaming about The Gays(TM) for the millionth time (sorry not sorry/j)
^ I've ranted about this bit before but WHO CARES
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! SHUICHI ISN'T WEAK AND SCARED ANYMORE!!! HE'S GROWN
just compare this to the after-trial of chapter 1 and it's astounding
^ the moment the closet disappeared, documented (iconic)
^ I yap about this scene a lot, and for good reason :D
it just shows that Kaito really does want Shuichi to see him as an equal, a friend and not just 'the hero', who's unreachable with words and whatnot
the whole dilemma Kaito has in this event is that he 'can't show weakness to his sidekick' BUT Shuichi can assure him, telling him to remember he's also just his friend- and Kaito is comforted by that, and it appears that he does want to be seen as a friend, and for Shuiwchi to see himself as a friend to Kaito as well :]
^ the delivery of 'Kaito no!' has not yet failed to make me choked up
WHY. IS THE LINE LIKE THAT :( he sounds so heartbroken it hurts me on a mental and physical level
AND KAITO PRAISING HIM RIGHT AFTER MY GODD
getting into p:eg got me thinking about these 2 babies again lolol... get out of my headdd
listen. the fact that there are no maki/shuichi solo scenes except for the night they train without kaito is a crime. the fact that maki/kaito/shuichi has more scenes together than literally any other combination of characters in all of danganronpa? Gold
🐤 BOYS NIGHT🐰🐻
Leave him alone before he eats your ice cream in front of you
I think the comedic potential of Kaito's talent is underutilized. Like, sure the "Ultimate Astronaut" hasn't been to space, but like how funny would it be if he's still like an esteemed rocket scientist and astrophysicist?
Like Miu tries to build another Jetpack That Sucks You Off™ after the first one explodes and Kaito takes one look at the blueprints and goes "Oh, you forgot an O-ring seal on the right SRB here, that should keep your fuel stabilizers from decoupling" to the abject bewilderment of the others.
The man deserves the Fred Scooby Doo treatment where he's still a dumb jock, but with a PHD.
Dat mean he luv him moar dan 4ever

petition to change the ship name for ouharusaimota to “maki and the malewives”
Danganronpa V3 chapter five but instead of Kaito and Kokichi dying they somehow teleport out of the killing game and get ice cream
I teleported them into the hospital bc I don’t want them to die
i keep forgetting it’s 2025 😩
