I have watched Evangelion.

None of the above-referenced jokes make any more sense for having watched it. Not one bit.

Thanks for listening.

If you haven't watched evangelion you don't even know the amount of jokes you're not fully getting. The "is that your fursona? Cringe." comic. The sad kid in the folding chair. "Thursday. Or as i like to call it [thing]" Really the only reason you should not watch it is because for every culture defining meme about it there's a million unfunny jokes and discourse about all female characters that almost makes the vriscourse look innocent

To date, all of these declassified files have ACTUALLY said:

"You're partly right — We tried to do that! ....... Totes blew it, tho. And it was terrible. Absolutely dogshit idea, frankly."

#conspiracy theories are a scam

My thinking was mostly just "Couldn't Junko have done all this stuff herself if she needed to?" In fact, I seriously doubt Mukuro would've known how to do brain surgery on Chisa without some guidance — I have to assume Junko gleaned that from watching Matsuda's work. And it's not like Junko is physically incapable of taking someone down by herself; she handles herself in combat against Kirigiri in DR1, at any rate, and even manages to pull some skillfull evasive manuevers during her Ryoko Time in DR0.

But I completely forgot about the hallway full of guards leading to Kamukura. Nice catch! I'd argue that that was probably more than Junko could've reasonably handled alone. At least not without quite a bit of research & prep on her part, at the very least.

Ultimately, I'm thinking that most of the time, Mukuro was a convenience; an errand lackey, someone who could do the dirty work that Junko just didn't feel like doing. But she wasn't strictly necessary most of the time, either.

.........and that train of thought led me to develop a new hypothesis that I, for one, find kind of interesting:

Could it be that Junko always internally hoping that Mukuro would betray her, only to wind up disappointed by her loyalty?

I mean...

This kind of goes hand-in-hand with Mukuro's own hypothesis from her ending in Danganronpa S and at the end of Danganronpa IF: Being betrayed by her own sister, a historically loyal follower, would surely drive Junko to feel despair. And isn't that what Junko would want the most?

Besides, Mukuro seems to not be all that necessary for most of Junko's plans. It'd be easy to argue that she didn't even need to keep her alive for as long as she did. Maybe it would've been awkward to kill her once they were locked inside the old school building with the others, but... c'mon. It's Junko. Don't tell me this long-game-plotting mastermind couldn't have gotten her sister's corpse outside and then made it look like Mukuro was the fool who abandoned their relative safety, resulting in an unfortunate demise.

Junko is constantly abusing Mukuro both verbally and physically... maybe this is intentionally trying to drive her away as part of the "betrayal" end goal?

This is all just something I thought up in the past couple hours, and of course there's absolutely zero reason to believe that Kodaka & Co. ever intended this to be implied. I just think it's a fun/interesting read of the situation.

How much would junko have gotten done without mukuro? because as dangerous and plenty intelligent and capable she is on her own, she got a lot of things done thanks to mukuro, right? not that that stopped her from killing her off, of course.

How much did Mukuro handle, actually? Bc I'm not sure Mukuro really was necessary for anything besides maintaining Junko's cover.

As far as I recall, helping to keep Junko's obvious absence obscured during DR0 and DR1 is really her biggest part. Kamukura was instrumental on more than one occasion, however. It was Kamukura's presence that ensured the Student Council Killing Game went off without a hitch as well as causing many of the events in Ultra Despair Girls AND the entire killing game in DR2.

Mukuro may be the muscle on certain occasions, but I don't really think she handles much that Junko couldn't do herself... besides imitating Junko when she's indisposed, ofc.

does ruruka's fear of getting hurt and being abandoned humanize her or does it make her look worse? woudkl you say ouma's willingness to stop the killing game humanizes him or does it also make him look worse because of the sheer ruthlessness he displays in getting what he wants? what about saionji? because she's ironically buddies with mahiru, who is a bullying victim yet refuses to show the same courtesy to anyone else and she's still a rude, selfish asshole even after losing mahiru.

Until we understand that she's so full of fear and self-loathing, Ruruka can seem downright cartoonish in her evil behavior, so I do think it hels humanize her a bit. Not enough to make her sympathetic by any stretch, but it makes her more of a realistic human being. Even so, her selfish/dangerous attitude towards Seiko's allergies is really hard to forgive even if it's depressingly realistic.

Kokichi's "good intention" of stopping the kiling game would hold more weight if he made any effort to actually stop someone from killing when he easily could've. Instead, he both ignores multiple opportunities to stop and then actively helps a fourth murder to occur. So... yeah, it's hard to say that does much for him. You could probably argue that he was just lying again about his hatred of the killing game, because he's such an incredibly unreliable source of info that it's not like there's any reason we should ever trust anything he says (regardless of how emotional he may appear when saying it). But I really believe he hated the killing game and wanted to end, actually! I just think his logic was probably that Miu and Gonta's deaths were sacrifices that served his desire to appear to be the mastermind, which he deemed a necessary part of his plan to end the game. Which is still horrible and illustrates what I once wrote about how trying to stop or face down the Killing Game alone will always get you death and failure, but... there it is.

Hiyoko isn't much more of a reliable source of info than Kokichi is. She's prone to spilling crocodile tears to get what she wants and is content to manipulate people into doing chores/errands for her, so I've always been skeptical of her supposedly tragic backstory of being bullied/threatened. Besides: If someone was really bullied like that and then complains about it, you wouldn't expect them to do the same thing to other people, right? :P You'd think if that really happened to her, she'd have to take a very "that's just how people are, no big deal" attitude in order to justify her own continued behavior. That said: I do think Hiyoko's behavior improves a little after Mahiru dies... but only just a teensy bit. At least she manages to show that she's upset about losing Mahiru, which is more than we got from her in regards to any of the other lost or near-lost lives up to that point. It's not nearly enough to signal to me that she was on track to turn her whole-ass life around, however. Even so: She does expresses mild gratitude to Tsumiki for saving her ass in the DR3 finale. Only AFTER she bitches about it, of course, but...... I guess we could take this as a sign that she might be taking baby steps towards self-improvement?

what would've happened if fuyuhiko, either accidentally or intentionally, killed himself when he attempted harakiri to atone for his actions?

For starters, I suppose he would've never gotten a chance to reach his in-story redemption and reveal his softer side. So both his classmates and we the audience wouldn't have much reason to like him. :P Or at least... not until DR3: Despair Side rolled around, anyway.

If such a thing DID happen, it would've undoubtedly had a psychological impact on Hiyoko that would've been worth seeing. Would she have grown and learned to be less of an asshole if she caused someone to kill themselves? She was the person he was reacting to when he did the attempted harakiri, after all — she'd just told him he should've died, so he went for it.

Fuyuhiko is also the person who made Akane finally realize that she was indirectly responsible for Nekomaru's new robotic state when he re-emerged during chapter 4. Somehow, it seems like this never even occurred to her before he said it. So would someone else have pointed out that she should feel grateful/maybe guilty? Or would she have to reach that on her own?

I suppose him being the person who noticed the actual time on the clock would during the Chapter 4 trial would have to be a role fulfilled by someone else, too.

That's all I can actually remember from DR2 off the top of my head, though. I've only played through it twice (and played about a billion other things since that second time), so I'm sure I've forgotten some stuff along the way...

I don't know how people feel about the dangan anime but I grew affectionate towards Juzo cause he keeps fucking up his job and decking any teen in his vicinity. So I started calling him KidPuncher cause he was so good at doing that
