Just a few minutes in, wanted to say something re Chris' mentioning of Lolita fashion - the fashion/movement exists explicitly because of enjoyment of fashion and the need for autonomy and having control over your clothing. Of course, like with anything girls do, there are people fetishizing it. But at the core of the movement, Lolita is all about youthfulness, self-expression, not giving a damn what other people think, and feeling cute.

13:00 I don't really think Chihiro is a trans icon? Chihiro is a boy who feels *pressured* to pretend to be a girl to hide his weakness. And his arc is about being comfortable in his own gender . Before his death, he WANTED to tell everyone he's a boy, and to stop pretending. It's like... Coming out as cis, hah. That's like the opposite of trans. To me, Chihiro is a boy that realizes it's okay to be petite, AND a boy. But also who wants to become stronger and improve himself. It's inspirational. I just, don't like it when ALL gender related characters or character arcs need to be lumped into the trans interpretation. I do like trans characters, but, not every crossdresser is a trans icon

I haven't seen anyone say it, so I'll do it myself, Chris was right about Nagito Komaeda, his name is an anagram of "Makoto Naegi da" or "I'm Makoto Naegi", that plus the VA thing, the talent and also both jackets having the same colors and just overall almost exact same palette (just changing browns for whites) is to evoke of Makoto and confuse the player. But also, if you notice, his hair despite having the same overall silouetthe, with his locks going in the same direction as Makoto's, Nagito's is wavier and curlier, which can both give you -Chill vibes (like Hinata's first impression of him) -Crazy vibes (like his true self) Also, him being larger than our short king Makoto can also showcase how his luck is also larger than Makoto's.

It's always really disappointing to see people who are convinced lolita fashion is a fetish thing when it's super not. The whole point is to be over the top cutesy in a way that men don't find attractive! I wish subcultures of all sorts could exist without this sort of reputation, but especially lolita, which was fundamentally designed to be unappealing.

‼️‼️Just correcting you on something.. Chihiro isnt trans. He dresses that way because society made fun of him for being so feminine looking so he crossdressed so people would leave him alone. He was gonna start working on himself so he could become stronger and more confident to be himself.

In the Games Ibuki is mentioned to actually be incredibly skilled and gifted at any and every instrument she performs on, and was even the lead singer in a popular pop band. The whole rock aesthetic and move to this very niche kind of music was because she felt bored in the fairly cookie cutter world of pop music and is in the middle of reinventing herself in the game.

If you are about to play Danganronpa really soon, you should probably save this video for later

NAGITO KOMAEDA IN A SAVE DATA THUMBNAIL WE MADE ITTTT

So the thing with the hair is that, it's basically tradition for the protagonist to have a hair that sticks up in this series. Saihara's hat felt like it was almost exclusively used to hide his so no one would think what happened happened.

Yeah, Celes trying way too hard with her outfit is in-character. She's an ordinary girl who so desperately wishes she was elite. They don't even try to hide what's going on with Junko in her art and outfit. It has got to be the worst kept secret of all time. (Now where's that one fanart meme of Junko covered in spoiler tags saying "is this hell?") The deadpan "gay" upon seeing Mondo at 29:44 fucking got me. Funny how she asked "Is she trans too" for Chiaki. Chiaki is often paired with Chihiro in fanart. (Also first top tier, Chiaki sweep LET'S GOOOO) I love Gundham for how fully committed to the bit he is. He leans so far into Chuunibyou syndrome that it actually loops back around to being kinda cool again, and his outfit reflects that well. It's over-the-top edgy without being too tacky or unoriginal. Ibuki might be the Ultimate Musician, but I'mma count Chris's guess of Ultimate Bisexual as correct. I always figured Mikan's choppy haircut is because she's perpetually bullied and they ruined her hair to torment her (and this has happened so often that she stopped bothering to fix her look). Nagito Komaeda is indeed an anagram for "Naegi Makoto da" (I am Makoto Naegi) Don't be hating on Shinguji, his looks are gucci (Actually do hate on him, he looks so interesting at first and then he just turns into a clown car of a character) That pained, hesitant "yes" at Chris asking if we see Tsumugi cosplaying in the game, boy howdy

danganronpa with an actual murderer when?

Please keep finding things for Tai to rate, she's so fun!

What? Chiaki was a killer, though. Why did you say that was wrong? Rather irrelevant that it wouldn't count as murder in any reasonable court of law, she is counted as a killer.

I used to be really into Danganronpa and, while nowadays I certainly have *opinions* on it, I must say that there are some really solid designs in the series (and some…not so solid ones lol)

I've never played or heard much about Danganronpa, so I'm going in with the same level of knowledge of Tai lol

When are we getting Save Data cosplay and outfit tier list? I need to know the consensus on Zak's yellow stripes.

Fun fact Kirumi Tojo's English voice actress plays 2B from Nier Automata and I think they based the design either on her or the opposite. Either or she is amazing

I just have to come on and say that most people do not in fact think Chihiro's gender stuff was handled well. While I'm aware that it's not meant to be a trans narrative, in fact it denies being so on multiple occasions, many of the lived experiences and personality traits that Chihiro displays and embodies very much resonate with people who have struggled with their gender identity or expression. The fact that the microsecond the characters find out that Chihiro was a boy they immediately abandon all female pronouns when referring to them and treat the reveal with such shock and, in some cases genuine disgust (especially in the Japanese where characters flat out use transphobic slurs) is childish and massively offensive and insensitive. And you can't just say "it was a product of it time" or any of that nonsense because this all exists in the English localisation AND the animated adaptation, both of which came out a significant amount of time after the game's Japanese release, meaning they had ample time to find a much less hostile and cruel way of presenting this reveal without it feeling transphobic and wholly dismissive of a lot of players' lived experiences. And don't even get me started on Korekiyo, they had 5 whole years to check themselves and still refused to put in any work to not be grossly offensive.

y'all did NOT do enough justice to describing kokichi

Ultimate fashionista content was made specifically for me thanks. I need someone to tell me what colors go together plus vidya game jokes

Shoutout to all the pairings that should have happened but didn't. Taka/Modo, Gundham/Sonia and Kaito/Maki, may you live on in another life with writers who actually give a shit

36:56 I remember him saying that he doesn’t even play the game?? Or perhaps it was a rumor

Absolutely amazing! 💯 If you wanna do a follow-up, you could do Danganronpa 3 (anime) and DRAE: UDG.

I hateee when people mischaracterise Korekiyo because he was groomed by his sister it’s not his fault 😭😭 reasoning for murder still sucked tho so I can agree on that

Just gonna give my two cents, but people insisting Chihiro is trans and a girl have absolutely 0 media literacy😭😭 like, his whole thing was that pretending to be a girl was a defense mechanism for his inferiority complex for being too “weak and girly” for a male, and the whole reason he wanted to get stronger was so he could be confident in his masculinity. Like, at MOST it’s okay to refer to Chihiro with they/them pronouns, but he’s absolutely not a girl💀💀💀

ahaha you fool ! i feel whatever about danganronpa !! im here for fashion and character design discussion !

1:17:20 Angie is hinted to be Polynesian. Either Samoan or Hawaiian, not Asian:)

Junko aka The Ultimate Despair along with her sister

Go Miu! Top Tier Outfit!

27:12 ELON!

actually mikan used to be builed and the bullies chopped her hair

Oh I KNOW you didn't put Ibuki in the low tier! 😡

1:05:00 omg nonbinary Albert Einstein!!!

maki is an ulitime assasin she lied about being a child care taker

Before i get into this video, danganronpa 2 characters have the best designs (cept for the nurse) an im expecting them to like alot of the characters from that game. Lets see

fantastic series until you hit V3. Quite frankly fuck that final trial

This video combined with doing AA case 5-3 just reminds me of how weird Japanese Murder Mystery writers were about including trans characters back in that time. Chihiro was obviously written as a trans man, and Robin was written as a trans women, but I can only assume some higher up didn't let them include actual trans characters, so they just did a quick last minute rewrite to make them cis crossdressers instead.

ik some ppl have already cleared it up but the lolita misconception!! lolita fashion is a japanese fashion subculture that revolves around looking like a european doll; the book of the same name isnt relevant to the development of the fashion at all. i loved that everyone immediately loved celeste’s design, she rlly has one of the best looks in the series
