aaaa oumeno for the ship thing? i know you only enjoy their aesthetic so you can refuse it but---

Hiya Anon! It’s no big deal! Even if it is just for the aesthetic, that still means I kinda like it! I maybe should have addressed exactly what I meant? I didn’t go into it because I feel like I ranted too much on that post. You can skip if you like! I’ll just put it under a cut after I do the meme! Also, I’m surprised someone did read my shipping post ^^; a part of me is embarrassed, but another part of me is very happy someone took the time to read it all the way to the end! So thank you very much :)

Now, back to the actual ask meme, I had fun with this! I think it’s most interesting since, unlike with Toko/maru, Son/dam, and Koma/Hina, this one is impossible in canon, because death seems to be permanent in NDRV3, so canonically, this ship is sunk :( That means this Oumeno is in a sort of AU, maybe even one where they never met the rest of the class!

From here: https://kimmysfandomblog.tumblr.com/post/167497972565/send-me-a-ship-and-ill-tell-you

Who said “I love you” first: That would be Kokichi! But he’d say it in such a way that Himiko would never know whether or not he’s lying (and he fully knows he’s confusing her). Himiko would actually be very flattered someone said this to her (initiate the blushing), and I imagine him saying this at a time where she’s actually really mad at him. In other words, it’s a complete mess, and she comes to the conclusion he has to be lying. Was Kokichi being genuine when he first said “I love you?” Who knows. Maybe even Kokichi wouldn’t know.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background: I’d say Kokichi would, and he’d constantly tease her about it. I think he’d have taken a photo of her sleeping and drooling all over the table, and generally not looking her best. She’d constantly try to find ways to grab his phone and delete it, either hopping up and down as he waves it high, or trying to be sneaky and ambush him, even trying to give him a hug to get it. Kokichi’s too fast and spots her lies too easily. He’s actually really proud of that photo, and he did find her really cute in it. Besides, he wouldn’t show his phone to anyone no matter how much he boasts that he did.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror: Kokichi would, but it’d be really embarrassing. Maybe something like comparing their heights, or saying “Nishishishi~, I took all the hot water!” or being overly sweet to the point it’s not certain he meant every word. I can also imagine him, for one week, doing a “Dear Diary” with the mirror complaining about something Himiko did that day.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts: I think Himiko would. Kokichi seems to be the type that would buy something that would start off looking like a cheesy gift, but it turns into a prank, only to be revealed the gift was hidden and whatever gift there was was actually something really sweet and personal. For Himiko, I think she’d do the cheesy gifts, but it would be presented through her magic. Although, for Kokichi, it may involve him getting “accidentally” splashed by water, or she pretends to have “failed because she didn’t have enough mana” and he gets the “bad” present.

Who initiated the first kiss: Kokichi would, and it would be at such a random moment that it stuns her. Still, this would be her first kiss, and I doubt Kokichi would do something that mean for a prank (especially since Himiko is definitely the type to want to cherish her first kiss, given how much she loves those romantic dramas), so I think this would be after they had established a romantic relationship. In that case, he’d probably peck her on the lips, move back, and start to giggle at her stunned expression. Maybe she’d start to get mad and demand to ask why he’d do that all of a sudden. He’d probably say something that proclaims his love way too enthusiastically. This causes her to blush again, demanding he stop teasing her. I think, though, she’d believe he actually did kiss her because he liked her at this point. I mean, if she’d accepted dating him, she must know he genuinely likes her and isn’t the type to string someone along for a prank.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning: Kokichi, because 1) he’d be the first to wake up, definitely and 2) it’s funny how she reacts. He won’t do it that often, so every time, she’d jolt awake when she realizes he’s that close to her face. He’d pretend to cry that she wasn’t happy to wake up to him, and she’d say something like of course she wasn’t happy. Who’d be happy to wake up to him so close to their face??? Still, the romantic part of her screams in joy.

Who starts tickle fights: There’s no question that Kokichi would do this. Whether it was to wake her up, or distract her before he does something sweet or even more mischievous, he’d start tickling her and she’d be unable to get back at him immediately. However, with her magic, she can surely find ways for “accidents” to happen to him, as “karma.”

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower: Probably Kokichi again, but I’m gonna have to say he never means it and she finds it too embarrassing even if they are in a relationship. If they were to get married, then maybe? I dunno, it’s hard to see it being anything sexual though haha.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch: Both would probably! Kokichi wouldn’t be as much of a surprise, maybe. He’d possibly come and get her lunch, or drop off cookies, and something in the lunch, or in one of the cookies, is tampered with (sugar and salt switched, adding of hot sauce, etc.). He wouldn’t do this on an important day, though, nor that often. If she was nervous about a show, he’d possibly talk to her and tease her to take her mind off, and then bring her back to topic seriously talking about it with her and help her realize she’s got this. As for Himiko, she’d have to go through DICE (who have to recognize her and she’s basically an honorary member at this point) and she’d maybe drop off some of the extra baking goods she’d made with her friends. He’d gush at her bringing him something so sweetly, she’d ignore it (totally used to it by now), but he’d make sure to tell her he appreciates it. He’d try to persuade her to join DICE officially and just stay with him, but she’s happy playing magic tricks instead of pranks.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date: Absolutely Himiko. She’s still not sure Kokichi wasn’t going to prank her, and I’m going to bet her friends did not approve at all, but she gives it a try anyways because she thought she saw something she hadn’t noticed in Kokichi before. I’d even say he may have helped her release her suppressed emotions and made her feel much better about herself, and all of this, while he teased her a little, was mostly something he clearly took seriously. She’s also never been on a date before, and is clearly a romantic at heart, so she’s more than a little nervous and shy. Kokichi’s dates, however, are so unorthodox, she forgets they even are on a date. They both end up having fun (maybe too much fun since I imagine he roped her into some petty crimes).

Who kills/takes out the spiders: If they know Gonta, neither of them kill the spider, in the event that Gonta finds out about it ^^; Even then, both of them hate bugs (Himiko to the point she even passes out), so I’m pretty sure they’d basically just run out of the room that has the bug and pretend that room doesn’t exist. Maybe they’d call Gonta to help take the spider out.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk: Himiko is a sleepy drunk, so she’d just knock out. She might be coerced into telling the truth, but she’d more mumble it than anything (Imagine Kokichi taking advantage of that and using his phone to record her answering his questions about how much she loves him… I bet it’s both funny and cute). Kokichi would be the type to pretend he’s drunk rather than actually allow himself to be that unguarded to actually be drunk, and if Himiko is in the room, he’d be sure to embarrass her with praise and affection.

People on the app/who want to avoid spoilers, this last part is gonna have some spoilers! Not that detailed, per se, but spoilers! So I put it under the cut! This is basically just what my take on Oumeno is, but as a tldr, I don’t see it happening in canon at all, but in an AU? I like it!

I am adding this link in hopes I don’t disturb people who are searching for shippy oumeno stuff!

Actually, before playing the game, I thought of how their personalities would be super cute together, and even in game, it’s not like I hated it… There were a few moments that I can think of as “Oumeno” moments where Kokichi teases Himiko, and she seems to like the idea of someone liking her or complimenting her as long as it isn’t so enthusiastic, it comes off as creepy. I’d say that’s more to do with her love of romantic dramas than of any feelings she has for Kokichi.

As for Kokichi, well, I’m pretty sure even if he did like Himiko, he clearly liked Shuichi more by the time he canonically says anything to her of substance. I do think he may have been fond of her, though, even if it wasn’t romantic. Anything he’s ever said was more for her benefit (even when accusing her of murder, I think he knew neither murder could have possibly been done by her and was clearing her of suspicion), and he’d never bullied Himiko like he did with Kiibo or Miu.

It’s something of a headcanon of mine that he hates lying, but a specific type: one that is actually negatively affecting people (Kiibo’s lies prevented him from reaching his potential and getting out of the killing game faster, and Miu’s lies just made it harder to get her to do anything, and were usually pretty obnoxious and hurtful (in his opinion)). Himiko’s lie is that she thinks she doesn’t care, when actually she cares a lot. That hurts her more than it hurts others, so when he did lie, it was to try to get a reaction out of her. If that makes sense ^^ He even is the one to get her to cry finally at the end of Chapter 3. I think, maybe, one of the members of DICE may have been similar to Himiko, having shut down their personality and not letting their emotions free, but he helped them free their emotions by having them join DICE and play pranks. Just a headcanon again ^^ But back to the topic: in terms of canon relationships/”canon AUs,” I’m a little bit too committed to the Oum/ami ship to fully ship Kokichi with anyone else.

But, taken out of the killing game, and if Kokichi was not gay/you take the headcanon he was only heavily leaning towards men, I think it would be rather cute! Himiko is a master of magical tricks and illusion, and Kokichi is a prankster, so it’s not like they are that far apart in comparison. I can see him realizing her suppressed emotions hurting her, so he teases her to get a reaction out of her and eventually helps her overcome it. She’s somewhat gullible, but a bit of a spitfire, too. I think Kokichi actually likes seeing her reactions to his lies, because in the end, she distracts herself from her problems, and then once she’s calmed down, she’s much happier and more confident. So, I do like them, just out of a canon context.

And of course, they just look really good together, aesthetically :P But yeah, all-in-all, it’s a cute ship that I don’t dislike, but I don’t necessarily fully ship.

Danganronpa V3 Liveblog Part 2 [Chapter 1 - Daily Life]

Yeah I may as well put the rest of this under a read-more right from the start since I wanna get right into spoilers.

Just to jump right to the end of what I played because it’s the elephant in the room, I called Rantarou being the first death before the game even came out in Japan. But I think everyone did. It was really obvious that either he was going to survive for most/all of the game, or be killed off immediately to troll everyone because he’s set up as being so mysterious and presumably plot-important. I’m not really angry about it, but it’s just kinda funny that I called this nearly a year in advance. Thankfully the rest of the game should be less predictable than this, since this was the only real thing I confidently predicted back then. Also for the record I had no actual, genuine idea about this in advance, it was just a guess of mine.

It’s weird that in the demo version they had him [and Keebo] sit out of the trial, when he ended up not surviving long enough to take part in a trial in the main game.

Either way, it’s at least kinda amusing that he died immediately when he felt so similar to Komaeda. Obviously it’s still lame to see him die so soon, but at least his character played out differently to Komaeda.

[Also for the record I’m hoping that Kokichi saying ‘my dearest Rantarou’ was just him making an inappropriate joke, because hoo boy it was bad enough when DR3 ended with the Bury Your Gays trope. I’d be genuinely angry if this game STARTED with it. I’m pretty sure it’s just a joke, but it does remind me that Kokichi/Rantarou was actually a relatively popular crack ship in the fandom, at least back before the game came out in Japan]

I stopped playing directly when the investigation officially started [so technically I played a few minutes of the Deadly Life segment but that was because the game didn’t let me save for a while], so I can’t exactly speculate much about the case, and I don’t want to. I’ll save that for after I play the investigation, since I’ll actually have proper clues to work with then. I know that the investigation part will probably be a lot shorter than this part, but I want to take a break between it and the trial so that I get a chance to sit down and post some speculation before I go through the trial and figure out what happened. So my next post might be a bit short. Maybe. Knowing me, it probably won’t be.

Since I was scared this would happen, I tried to talk to him as much as possible, but I only managed to have one actual scene with him. I also had one with Shuichi. Now that Rantarou’s out the way, I guess Shuichi will be the person I prioritize most in free time events. Not sure who else I’d go with. I’m kinda curious about Keebo since his backstory seems interesting, but I dunno. I kinda want to see what Kokichi’s deal is, but part of me also feels like he’s probably gonna stick around for a long time so I’m less inclined to prioritize him. Maybe I should talk to Maki more, since she seems like the type who I’ll need to really get to know before I see more sides to them.

Overall, I was sorta surprised by how much I really liked this part. I mean, I’m a big fan of the series in general, but I’ve been a bit worried about whether or not I’d actually enjoy this game and it’s cast. Thankfully those fears are getting dissipated. I was also afraid that it’d feel too similar to the first two games, but there’s enough different things happening that it’s enjoyable.

One of the things that surprised me most was the motive. Or, well, motives. I did not expect the stakes to get so high that quickly. The whole idea of ‘the first murder will happen consequence-free’ is actually really interesting, and an effective way of motivating a murder. But it definitely makes Monokuma seem way more desperate than he used to be. Especially when, like a day after the first motive, he was like ‘oh and if nobody dies soon, you all die’. At that point he’s literally forcing people’s hands, more or less. Which isn’t a criticism, really. It’s an interesting approach to take. Especially since nobody ended up actually using that motive to kill. The whole part where nobody outed themselves as being Rantarou’s killer, and Monokuma announced that they’d hold a class trial in that case, was really intriguing. It’s really making it hard to guess at the culprit’s motive.

On a similar sort of note, I was not expecting the part where Ryoma suggested that somebody murder him so they could escape and find help. I thought at first that he’d just generally suggest the idea of someone going through with murdering someone, but I probably should have expected him to be all self-sacrificial, given his attitude. I said it last time, but I REALLY like Ryoma as a character thus far.

I said I wouldn’t speculate much about the murder, but lol I can’t help myself now that I’ve seen the body. I can only make vague judgments about it, though. Like how it seems pretty obvious that Rantarou wasn’t directly murdered by someone, but instead somebody probably set a metal ball on the bookcase so that it’d roll off and hit his head when it opened. Maybe that’s just my first guess because Kaede already brought up the idea of Rube Goldberg machines earlier in the chapter. It’d also explain how the murder will remain mysterious even with photographic evidence. There probably wasn’t anyone else in the room. I assume that Monokuma would still consider the identity of the hypothetical ball-placer to be the culprit, so then the big mystery is figuring out who did that, when there’s presumably no evidence. But then again the ball could have only, in this scenario, been placed on the bookcase after the equipment was set up, otherwise Shuichi would have noticed it at the time, or the alarm would have gone off. Unless he’s the killer, which I’m really doubting.

Ignoring the option of Shuichi being the killer, he and Kaede at least have alibis. I don’t know if anyone else would have. I’ve kinda forgotten if the equipment got placed early in the morning, or right before those two hid in the classroom, so I’m not sure what time frame to work with for this one, in terms of figuring out alibis.

I feel like the seven people who went to the game room are probably being set up as people who all have mutually-verified alibis, at least. Which leaves like seven other people.

Oh well, I won’t think about it too hard until I finish the investigation.

On the topic of Shuichi, I also really like him as a character. I liked him after the prologue, but learning a bit more of his story made me like him even more. He’s a really interesting take on a detective character. I’m glad he’s not just another Kirigiri. I can really get why he feels so uncomfortable about the idea of pursuing the truth, when he ended up exposing someone who did a revenge-killing for sympathetic reasons.

I also just really like his dynamic with Kaede. They’re just adorable and mutually supportive and I love it. I’m not gonna lie, I kinda low-key ship them already. I have low standards for this sorta thing, lol.

Kaede’s also pretty interesting as a protagonist, especially in terms of how people react to her. It was kinda sad seeing everyone [well, nearly everyone] hate her for being optimistic and leader-y and wanting everyone to keep trying to escape. Considering how it’s already giving her confidence issues, I wonder if that’ll be an ongoing thing, with most of the cast not wanting to be bossed around by her. I couldn’t really blame them after how the Death Road of Despair part went, but they still took it too far.

Also on that note, fuck the Death Road of Despair. That was so awful to experience. Considering how the story played out, I imagine that the game was genuinely rigged against you, and it sure as hell felt like it. I hope that if this game ever shows up again in a less evil context, the controls aren’t so weirdly floaty and hard to control. I kinda wish I could have recorded the way my reaction to it went from ‘oh this sounds simple, just run and rump’ to ‘wait the fuck why is everyone dead’ in ten seconds.

Anyway, I’m really enjoying seeing more of the characters, and seeing them start to form their own dynamics and stuff. It’s only just starting, but it’s already interesting to watch unfold. I’m especially surprised by how Tenko pretty much immediately got a crush on Himiko and is now just following her around and acting so excited about the idea of magic. It’s really endearing me to her.

This part also continued to reaffirm my love for Gonta. He’s an incredibly sweet boy who doesn’t deserve the death that he’s presumably going to experience. He tries his best.

I’m happy that Kaito is at least trying to be on Kaede’s side. He’s a good dude thus far.

Conversely, I probably should have expected that Maki would be rude and unsociable. I’ll probably still try and spend free time with her and get to know her, though. It makes me feel like there’s something really interesting under her cold exterior that I’d never get to see if I just avoided her.

Angie’s kinda starting to creep me out, which I wasn’t expecting. Like, the blood sacrifice joke was one thing, but now she’s talking about happily accepting imminent death because Atua will welcome her into his kingdom, or Atua punishing liars, and stuff. But then again she also unironically says bye-onara and that makes me really like her.

I guess I may as well comment on Rantarou’s character in general, since this might be my last time to. I wish I could have gotten to know him better, but the one event I had with him didn’t tell me much. I’m still not sure what to make of him. He’s also kinda creepy, but I still like him. I’m not gonna deny that most of my bias toward him is still because I love [most of] his design, though. I wonder if we’ll ever learn what his talent was, since that’s still a mystery. Maybe it’ll be a plot point during the trial. I’m also curious about the fact that he seemed to have some memories related to the Ultimate Hunt, which is still suspicious to me in general as a concept. I really can’t help but feel like this game is set in some future post-DR3 where the rest of society decided to criminalize talent or something. Or they had a grudge against the whole Ultimate Initiative, and Hope’s Peak Academy, and thus they decided to hunt down everyone related to it, or something. Who knows.

I’m really surprised by the fact that none of the characters have said anything about the implication of them being criminals, with how they’re in an academy for Gifted Juveniles. You’d think that’d raise some questions from them.

Also, I wonder if everyone’s labs are going to be actual places we can at least see on the map. I think thus far we can only see Kaede’s and Miu’s rooms. Maybe the rest will open up as time goes on. On the note of their labs, I should check and see if I can go to Kaede’s one now. I kinda forgot to check it out. I think I tried to check once but the plot was railroading me elsewhere and I forgot about it after that.

Oh, and before I forget, I didn’t miss that one line from one of the Monokubs where they were obviously teasing at what’s going on in the big picture, but basically blotting out the important info. I can’t quite remember exactly what he said, though, but I remember it seeming immediately important.

And also, on the note of Monokuma, that one Monokuma Theater joking about the idea of getting confused about what happened and in what part of a long-running franchise really felt like a self-deprecating joke about how long this series has gotten. [Also the Yokai Watch reference was pretty hilarious]

I guess that’s all I have to say for now. I’ll probably just play the investigation part tomorrow, even if it might be kinda short, and then I’ll do the trial the day after. I don’t really have any predictions about who the killer is, other than that Shuichi seems really damn suspicious right about now.
