Kodaka April Fools tweets 2024
Lying just because it's April Fools' is so dull. Honestly painful to watch. Lying in general doesn't do you any good. In my younger days, I told every lie I could, saying some genuinely insane stuff about being a supreme leader of evil and whatnot, and thanks to that, now that I'm in my thirties, I got famous for all the wrong reasons and can't find a stable job because people think I'm associated with the yakuza... Sigh, I wanna deck my cringe younger self's face. Quit lying for fun while you can.
My classmates aren't doing great either. Thinking you're hot shit during your school days always comes back to bite you... My advice to my past self: slow and steady effort is worth more than any talent. Also, the part of life you spent larping with that silly horse laugh is not going to be one you'll want to remember later. I wish I could make that clear to him. White lies aren't a thing. Talent is never enough. My class is proof of that. Wanna know what my classmates are like now that we're in our thirties?
Akamatsu became a piano teacher. Her player skills capped off in her teens, it seems. But she's not that good at teaching so she's considered kinda mid at her job. And now she's struggling with the father of a student incessantly hitting on her. Tough world to live in.
Toujou opened a housekeeping company but she was too strict with her employees so everyone quit. And now she's doing everything on her own. Sucks to be in your thirties without any successors or employees. She's a prime example of how being so much better than anyone else doesn't do you any good. Well, she's always working for celebrities, so she's doing well financially, but I heard about some major court fight about a missing item under suspicion of theft from one of her clients. That can't be nice.
Yumeno got to her thirties still saying magic is real, so she's past the point of no return. She agrees that's an unhinged way to live, but she's too old to suddenly change gimmicks. Work takes her all over the country, but her gimmick doesn't allow her to publicly drink, so she has to get plastered alone in her hotel room after shows. I wish she could fix her life with real magic.
Harukawa? ...Haven't heard that name in a long time. Now she was a living edgy fantasy. The past tense was because I hadn't heard of her in a long time. I don't know the details, but apparently, she went to some war zone outside of Japan because her first love didn't want to date her. Takes some real edgelord to react to a broken heart like that, but if she's still alive, I have no idea how her thirties are treating her. My personal guess is that she's a mother of many.
Chabashira opened her Aikido school but is having a hard time attracting students. So she had the idea of starting an anti-sexual-harassment campaign that could double as advertisement, but thanks to her cluelessness when it comes to romance, she got canceled for mistakenly tossing men in regular couples. She's still doing the "degenerate males" bit in her thirties. Girl really needs to get on with the times. Rumor goes that she still downs huge packs of tequila bottles with Yumeno every now and then. Really don't think there's any salvaging her reputation.
Shirogane is an office lady still continuing her cosplay hobby on the side. She could be doing well if she knew how to keep her mouth shut but frequently rambles about cosplay history and etiquette, so no one likes having her around. Stay emotionally dependent on a single hobby long enough and your passion starts to close you off to others. That's her problem.
Angie was the most successful in the class! She made big money both on the art and the religion fronts. However, there were some controversies about her devotees selling counterfeits of her paintings at exorbitant prices and one magazine made a huge news coverage of it, which resulted in her catching the police's attention. She's been recently untraceable, with the rumors saying that she'll never be back to Japan.
Oh, and Iruma... Up until some point, she had the best life of all of us. She made big money off of her inventions' patents. So far so good. Things only started going off-rails after she married an ex-stripper. The two started a YouTube channel together. And later, her husband ran in last year's elections and lost big time. They got an awful debt from his election campaign and she had to get into side jobs to pay it off. And her husband? Disappeared. No word from Iruma herself about what happened. Tough world to live in.
No further updates from Kodaka in the past 3 hours, so I assume he went to sleep and will come back to tweet about the 7 remaining boys in the morning.

i was putting off starting Reaching since it's so long, but when i intended to read just a little bit last night, i ended up so absorbed that i read six chapters and hardly slept at all! totally worth it though; i can't wait to read more! (also if you don't mind me asking, what are your pronouns?)
Oh boy, I hope you've been enjoying it so far! It's a really long read though and it only gets longer in the later chapters so you should definitely rest your eyes in between, lmao.
Also I go by he/they pronouns! I'm not particularly picky about which one is used more often.

After finishing Reaching, I wanted to start something much more laid back and light-hearted—so for Ouma's birthday I finally decided to write the first part of a phantom thief AU I've had forming in my mind for a while! It's ongoing, but expect it to be much shorter and more casual than the last time I wrote a multi-chapter fic.
Here's the link for anyone who wants to read!
I know a lot of people have already written a ton of really excellent phantom thief AUs for saiouma, but I still wanted to try my hand at it. Especially since I have a really particular premise in mind for this one, so I'll be excited to see if anyone picks up on it as the story progresses.
Anyway, you all know me by now. I love mysteries and mind games and the whole phantom thief/detective cliché, so this was just a blast to write. If anyone wants to share this post around or just check out the fic, I'd be super happy!
Happy birthday Ouma Kokichi, and here's to hopefully many more on this blog.

I don't want to be a prickly pear (once again) but when you say people are 'making more of something than there is' that's frustrating and kinda presumptuous? I know you see Saihara one way and that's fine, but remember this is a catbox mystery situation and others might have cause to believe something else that's also based in the text. Personally I do not trust Saihara's character, and that won't change just because of some impassioned speech. I have my reasons just as Anon likely had theirs.
We're quite literally in Saihara's head, hearing his innermost thoughts and narration for literally the majority of the game. And while unreliable narrators are certainly nothing new to the mystery genre, those have to be foreshadowed appropriately in order to not feel like a cheap shot at the readers trying to piece together the narrative.
For example, Kaede is an unreliable narrator. Her desire to end the killing game no matter what methods she needs to use, her perusal of the warehouse, and her slipping the shotput ball are all foreshadowed well in advance, enough to allow players/readers the opportunity to piece things together as the ch1 trial progresses.
But there's nothing in the actual text itself to suggest that she or Saihara didn't care about people. That is the issue the other anon seemed to raise, i.e. "does he listen to his friends or care about them or their interests."
Not even the audition videos that Tsumugi shows in ch6 suggest this, considering that the main two possibilities with those are either that 1) they were real but Saihara and his classmates have no memories of anything that happened in them and are therefore very different people now from when they started, as a result of their lived experiences, or 2) that Tsumugi somehow faked or exaggerated the tapes and that they therefore don't accurately reflect the feelings or intentions of the people in them.
Ndrv3 is indeed a catbox mystery, as you said, but if you can't take certain sentiments at face value when they're presented as one of the core themes of the game—i.e. Saihara giving a heartfelt speech about the importance of his and everyone else's lives, and the importance of "fiction" in shaping the world in general—then surely nothing I say is going to change your mind either. No one is obligated to like Saihara or even "trust him," but the fact remains that the game's text shows a protagonist who is deeply saddened by the loss of so many of his friends, who chooses to keep the pain of that loss alive in his heart as proof that everything they suffered meant something, rather than buy into the cycle of hope vs. despair that Tsumugi uses as a way to keep the game going forever while giving the audience what they want.
Whether anyone believes this was actually well-written or not is a matter of personal, subjective opinion—I can say all day long that I personally believe Saihara's a great character and an excellent choice for a protagonist, but someone else may disagree with me and think the writing was terrible or that he was a boring protagonist, and that's simply a difference of opinion.
However, saying something like Saihara "didn't care about his friends" without providing a shred of evidence beyond speculation is absolutely making more of something than what there is, in my opinion. The fact of the matter is that the game itself shows us a character who repeatedly attempts to use his talent to save everyone else in the trials (something that's even addressed directly in ch4), who grieves for his friends openly whenever they die, and who chooses to keep their memories in his heart and vouch for the meaning their lives held at the end of the game, even if the rest of the world tells them that they're meaningless fictional characters.
And it's totally fine to speculate about ulterior motives, or whether a character might be putting on some kind of façade, but in this case, where we quite literally hear Saihara's thoughts and feelings directly for most of the game, that sort of interpretation means discounting a lot of textual evidence from the game, which is something I don't really agree with.
I enjoy speculating on the nature of catbox mysteries as well, but I also personally think that at least some of the events as we're presented them in the text have to matter or else the themes and message of the story itself may become sort of lost in the process. That's my own personal opinion, and other people are free to disagree, but I don't understand the need of coming to my blog and asking me for my opinion in the first place if me giving it is "presumptuous." That's sort of the entire reason that I tag those kinds of posts with "#my opinion" in the first place.
In any case, again, I'm not expecting or aiming to change your or anyone else's mind here. I was asked a question, which I answered with my opinion along with bits from the text itself, and I honestly don't understand what the need is to make that into a further issue.
