Haha It's Just A Cold Guys I Say Coughing Up Blood Just A Cold! I Say Coughing Up Even More Blood I'm

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

Triple Baka🔪🚀🔍

I was looking back at how Kaito revealed himself in the 5th trial and a certain comment caught my interest.

Monokuma already had the hint that it could be Kaito in the Exisal. And the chance of Shuichi's lie actually working is a 50/50 chance but still low with the way Monokuma responded to Shuichi.

Kaito getting the hint that Monokuma was not fooled by Shuichi's lie completely took the bullet and the blame for Shuichi's mistake. And in a way there are players that blame Kaito for this, which is what Kaito wanted since he did say "I'll take full responsibility". Thankfully I've seen Let's Players actually understood that Shuichi's lie wasn't gonna work on Monokuma. It was all left to luck in hoping that Monokuma would get it wrong. And Kaito wasn't gonna gamble on everyone's lives.

So in a way Kaito did take responsibility for Shuichi's mistake here. Shuichi's mistake was revealing the truth and helping Monokuma without a second thought till it was already too late.

Kaito did put everything on Kokichi's plan, believing it could work out but he also knew Shuichi would foil the plan. Kaito still looked at the positive side for Shuichi to keep pushing forward, even though he was minutes away from dying. But the sad truth is that Shuichi did push Kaito to reveal the plan, as Shuichi said he cornered Kaito.

Remember Shuichi is terrified of revealing the truth and this trial could have 100% rebound Shuichi back to being how he was in Chapter 1.

But thankfully Kaito made Shuichi promise him to end the killing game. It paralleled Kaede's trial but showed Shuichi's development. Instead of the quiet meek teen he was in Chapter 1, he now back talks at Monokuma.

Shuichi talking back at Monokuma will always be my favorite, this is what Kaito wanted Shuichi to do in Chapter 1 instead of blaming himself.

I feel like I could write more but I just wanted to throw this little food for thought out there.

I like how Danganronpa V3 doesn't spoon feed to the players. There's just so much to analyze and interpret in the game.

Made this because me and my friends were being silly guys

whos gonna tell him..

It's a post-game "it was all a simulation and now we're stuck in a hospital" kind of a situation.

Hey have some pixels

Ngl if you watch/play any scene where Kaito and Shuichi talk to eachother and replace the word "sidekick" with "boyfriend" it doesn't really change the scene at all

Like I'm not the biggest fan of saimota (I tend to go for either saioumota or just oumota/saiouma yk) but you really can't play/watch the game without seeing their blatant homosexual potential

drops this and runs
