NAGITO KOMAEDA: Character Analysis 

JinPyo*claps* finally......a person I can agree on...

JinPyo I wish he hadn't died. Somewhere in me I hope that they figure out a way to bring them back to life so much. Especially Nagito he became my favorite character and died. I wish they can bring him and the others back to life so bad!!

Midnightkarma AMVs so you didn't see the DR3 anime? You should watch it.

Foreverlasting 21 I'm watching it at the moment although do I have to know the story from ultra despair girls game?

Midnightkarma AMVs not really but its helpful to know the story. You could just watch a summery on what happened in Ultra Despair girls. That's an easier way.

I thought you said if you fell in love with the hope of sleeping with him. ...😳

what if... i fell in love with the hope inside you...? aha... jk jk... unless? 😳

@@sledderuwu2661 he IS the hope sleeping with him

If he said he love ghe hope sleeping inside of Hajime, does he mean Izuru? ;)

Here's the thing. Nagito himself tells Hajime that he is lying at the end of the link. I don't think his parents did die.

I'm pretty sure he says "I'm lying" is to not get embarrassed/made fun of *my opinion don't worry*

SRti 0 LYECEPTION!!! *DUUUNNNNN* And I agree with you

I'm like 90% sure it goes into that in one of the Mangas and talks about how it's true

@@connorbroderick7148 I think they did. They show his parents' death in the official DR2 manga, along with his illnesses and the kidnapping event in a flashback. They legit drew out his dog's death, with that sorta cliche: Imma throw a ball! Oh shit, wait, don't run in front of the truck!

Yeah, i remember that too... i feel bad for Nagito... but NOW, he obtained someone's love, right? :3

Rodrigo Dominguez yeah a spear

was this said in sdr2?

Weird net It was said in the game Danganronpa v2 at the end of the 3 trial (if I’m not wrong)

@@weirdnet6925 yes 3rd case at the end of the class trail

I appreciate that! But do I *really* deserve praise? I’m a piece of trash you know...

Kaito Momota Kaito..Togami...Komaeda.

Lol

It is true. That is one of the reasons I love him. Other people, especially those who "matter", seems so hopeful and strong. In Nagito, despite his intention, there is always some kind of twisted, "black" clouding. I dont think anyone can straightforward say he is good or bad. Despite all that, deep down he also has a dream as anyone else. He is so gray, indiscernable, unpredictable as human should be. That aside, there is a charm about him, that smile, that cleverness... making many draw to him, even in a confusing way. I think Nagito and Shuichi are most human of all Danganronpa. I love Shuichi, even though his crush and best friend are dead, he still has other friends, and he grows plendidly. But Nagito, my baby, I dont know where he is going to, since no one see his "dream", meaning no one ever has a chance to understand him...

Same actually ! He’s the only character, with an interesting backstory, aside from Fuyu, Peko and Mikan and in my opinion characters with a twisted personality are always really interesting.

And the opposite also holds true. Anything can be made good again if you're willing to erase and make right your past mistakes and sins. It's why both evil and good balance nicely; because, just like daytime and nighttime, you can move between either side of it.

Holy fucking christ I look at this comment and then look at every other comment and just realize that this entire comment section has turned into a philosophical debate lmao. It's amazing.:')

You two are my hope...I’m crying! This, is *TRUE* hope! Coming together and making rationally powerful discussions. If only more people think the same way you do, everything would make sense! ABSOLUTELY HOPE INDUCING

@@athenam4410 everyone in sdr 2 definitely need that

He does not need a hug, clearly. He won’t make you happy, he will just go crazy.

+Synergy Wow. If we use Nagito's luck cycle the Russian Roulette was the good luck and the bad luck was the Students Profiles.

Saturnine Plot twist at end goes to DR 1 for sure. The end of SDR2 felt way more convoluted and unnecessary, the way the set up the characters made the thought of All of them falling into despair unbelievable. If it say went with, Your in a game and you went crazy when the world ended, then yeah. The only thing that really bothered me was how they didn't go back to ultimate despair. (Im taking DR3 with a grain of salt because of its rushed stupidity)

The ending of SDR2 was far superior, in my opinion. Literally the DR1 was 'wow like its junko and the worlds gone to shit' but SDR2 was like 'OK SO THIS IS A VIRTUAL WORLD, YOU'RE ALL ULTIMATE DESPAIR, YEAH HAJIME YOU'RE IZURU KAMUKURA, IF YOU LEAVE YOU GET FUCKED, IF YOU STAY YOU GET FUCKED, IF YOU GRADUATE YOUR WORLD GETS FUCKED, EITHER WAY YOU'RE FUCKED' Also.... the Chiaki scene. Don't tell me that it didn't make you shed a tear.

why why im just going to say I agree with you because you've said everything I wanted to say.

Saturnine waot sp russian roulette was the good luck his death was the bad luck?

For me it's both reasons lmao I mean it started out as just liking him as an interesting character but I think it kinda turned into an "adorable cinnamon roll who needs love" thing. At least I don't attempt to claim he did nothing wrong or call him a role model or whatever.

Did you just.... *I can't hold back my laughter*

my 2 favorite outta the whole game (I mean 1, 2, and 3) is kokichi and nagito

QueenPineapple I love him too but the furry accent

First I liked his character design, and then later when he spiraled into this insane-ish unhinged persona, THAT'S what really made him my favorite. I've always loved those crazy/insane peeps.

@@essimaria7386 ff

now thats just really sad :(

It probably was. When Genocider was first born, one of the first people she tried to kill was Nagito, but gave up because he was still a virgin XD

Juki Draws I may sound like a frickin idiot, but are you serious?

IS SHE CHEATING ON TOGAMI?! I KNOW THERE NOT DATING BUT CMON

I mean she only tried to kill men so- it’s a possibility.

Wait but he was in middle school and Toko is younger than him-

craxnor "Hope doesn't need despair to become greater" "Nagito is so far gone in his belief that he'll probably never understand" I totally agree with you! It took me a while to understand the first sentence myself, since I read so many theories but now I get it. An example of that is when Chiaki spent a lot of time with her classmates. It was obvious in DR3 Despair Side Ending Song that, you don't necessarily 'absolutely need' despair to create hope and make it bigger. Hope could also come without harsh motivations from despair. But even though Junko kept taking away hope, her classmates were peculiar..Makoto particularly.

craxnor this

Nagito isn't entirely wrong but it seems like a correlation=causation misunderstanding Greater despair doesn't necessarily create more hope, it's just that however much hope it does create is more visible than the same amount of hope faced with a much less despair; using hope as the constant and despair as the variable, the more despair there is, the more dramatically it's contrasted by the hope. In this example, the hope hasn't changed, it just seems more significant because it exists in the face of worse circumstances. ofc, hope isn't always constant, but it is a much more consistent feeling within people then despair is, that is to say despair is caused- hope just becomes evident as a result, or is otherwise inspired. In the absence of hope, that is when despair settles. It's like how you already have blood, but you can't see it easily unless you get cut or bruised. Or that's my take on it anyway.

Is munakata the animator guy?

I thought Nagito was more of an advocate seeing as his way thinking is to become a stepping stone for something better

luma His name is even the scrambled version of Makoto’s

AnotherKS That's what the original comment was saying...

Remy Ikr, he is such a precious muffin

Yeah and it’s nice cause after the game hajime now has ultimate everything including luck so he’s basically immune to it can nagito can hang out with hajime without worrying about it

From what you jusy said it sounds like you do like him as a character, however, you don't like him as a person.

Arisa Ayamo Yeah, that's probably it! Thanks, I couldn't even figure that out on my own heheh

To be honest, Nagito's one of the people I absolutely love as a character, but if I saw him in real life, I'd either dislike him, be scared of him, or both. I would probably still consider the fact he probably had to go through some sh*t to become the way he is, but I would still leave him alone in fear for him in the second game. If I met him while he was living a peaceful life, like with the rest of the students, he'd probably just be someone I don't engage with much, so I neither like nor dislike him. I would probably agree that he's strange along with everyone else, but I probably wouldn't care much about that.

I'm the type of person that likes to get in touch with 'loners.' I was super awkward and lonely for bits of my elementary and middle school life, but, about halfway into middle school, I started to try and put myself out there. This whole thing started around the time that I actually had a solid friend group and a new kid (super socially awkward. Was home schooled, but was already perceived as weird due to rumors that spread prior to his arrival. It was a very small town, so if you hadn't met someone, you'd almost definitely have heard of them.) He sat alone at lunch and I felt really, really bad for him, so I eventually went over and sat with him. None of my friends would come over to our table at first, but, eventually, my closest friend in that group came over, and the rest did so gradually. I managed to introduce him to a social group he did well in and I felt super happy about that. He's still pretty awkward, but we talk to this day. I remember one of my teachers thanking me for being nice to him. Even people outside of our friend group got curious and would ask me questions if we were ever paired up for projects (Normally asked if we were dating. Then asked why I hung out with him when I said no.) I did the same sort of thing after I moved and went to a much bigger high school. I tried to keep everyone connected and, even now, I'm a foster mom for strays and abused/neglected animals. They're prone to lashing out and they take a lot of patience to bring around, but it's all worth it when they end up happy in a safe home.

I think I missed something, when was it confirmed that his hair is not like that from birth because his hair is mentioned to be white frome birth in the official book.

Wait if white wasn't his original haircolor, then what was it?

@Just Some Girl With Cat Ears oh ok thanks

no, his hair was always white

:0

joke

Komahina confirmed

Astraea lmao this is the best comment

Here's a real question. Why does Hajime/main character recieve everyone's under garments when he completes their last free time event?

Maybe due to the fact that the first event for them all to recognize that *hope* must be fulfilled was with the swimming event? The swimming event that causes the characters to unite is the foundation for what is later revealed to be individual *Hope Fragments,* and when the maximum is collected, you can initially obtain their undergarments/swimwear.

Elegant Serene yeah, I have the reloaded version of the games so I saw both casts. I thought "he looks really close to makoto, is it just an alternate version?"

His character itself is also kind of a blend of the two as he has Makoto's hope combined with Junko's obsessive tendencies.

LMAO THE ACCURACY

OMG YES OHCGOHCPGPIIPGCGPIIPGPC

...I'm not gonna say anything...

YESSSSSSSSS

Yes I found his change in view really interesting! Makes me wonder what caused it.

Wombat Cuddles I think the Izuru Kamukura project caused it! Because if you think about it, he would hate the project since it contradicts his belief of "You are either born talented or trash, nothing in between" Hope, or no hope at all. But then just like Adrian said, in DRA:UDG he changed his beliefs a bit

That could be it. _Although_ the Kamukura project involved literal brain experiments to give him talent, whereas Komaru was completely average and just went through a grueling and horrific experience. So Komaeda thought that she could become hope simply by character growth from that.

So that means that despite all he said, he still - maybe unconsciously so - started to believe that hope can be born from anyone. Maybe his way of creating hope remained the same, where the greater despair created = the greater hope, but this is still to some extent interesting and good development for him. He doesn't discriminate anyone the same way as before but that's also dangerous since basically anyone can become his guinea pig now.

I don't really see how he is narcissistic when he clearly hates himself and constantly calls himself trash.

Nagito isn’t narcissistic, he clearly hates himself and has low self esteem. I agree he is manipulative and his way of thinking is messed up because of frontotemporal dementia. I also agree he is flawed but has good intentions.

Allow me to elaborate on my point on him being narcissistic because I probably could've phrased that better. I was trying to hint at because Nagito is extremely lucky, he sees that as his absolute power and sees himself as almost like a messiah of sorts. He believes that with the power of his luck on the side of the other participants, hope will rise above all else. Because of this, Nagito believes that hope is what matters and nothing else. He does in fact hate himself, partially because he might blame himself for the deaths of his parents and the other participants. But at the same time, he has this god complex and genuinely believes that the end results will justify the means of getting there.

@@ivorymoonwolf4721 self loathing people can be self-absorbed too

I dont get how nagito can be narcissistic but ok

Blue Jacket That "jerk" can be explained. Due to the fact that he's never had a friend, he doesn't know how to joke. That being said, when he's rude, its him trying to tease his fellow classmates.

I'm sure that plenty of people who love and hate him have never gone through his character themslves. I hated him, read through his backstory, still hate him, but understand how in depth and complex his character is and understand his habits. The only DR character that confused me more is Kokichi, but I oddly like him alot better.

his dementia explains a lot

Nagito Komaeda KIBOU

+WhenTheCountriesCry That sounds super interesting! I'd love to hear your theory :-)

Okay well. Here goes. (Fair warning it's like five pages and not well organised, so I'm sorry. Also I just copied and pasted it from another comment I made on someone's LP so there's that) So upon the reveal that the majority of the cast in this game was Ultimate Despair, I come to you with a brand new perspective on the events of chapter five. Now, the game will try to tell you that Komaeda wanted to kill them all, and I’m sure they have their reasons (which I will explain) but… that’s wrong. According to my own beliefs, based on the evidence I’ve seen, I believe that everything Komaeda did in chapter five was just another elaborate hope versus hope contest. Oh yes. You read that correctly. Komaeda was just pulling the same hope crap he normally does, crazy suicide plan and all. Allow me to explain, but first, let me ask you something: What’s the one thing Komaeda fundamentally believes? That a great despair will yield an even greater hope. Now, I’m not so naive as to suggest that Komaeda thought his death would lead to a great despair. Nobody believes that; not even Komaeda believes that. At this point Komaeda knows that nobody really likes him, and he himself doesn’t even like him, so naturally he wouldn’t believe his death would bring a great despair. He knows it won’t. Hell, most of the island at this point would prefer he was dead already. Regardless, he kills himself. (Yes it was technically not a suicide but I’m going to treat it like one for simplicity’s sake). Now, as stated previously, many people believe that naturally Komaeda was trying to kill everyone except for the traitor, as everyone but the traitor is Ultimate Despair. And what does Komaeda hate more than despair? Besides, with the way his luck worked out with the traitor conveniently killing him, and the odds of everyone but the traitor were slim to none, you can understand exactly where people got that idea from however… *you’ve got that wrong!* First of all, if Komaeda’s plan was to wipe out despair, _he would have wiped out despair_. I mean, they would all definitely be dead except for Nanami, no questions asked. He would have been much more thorough in his plan, specifically the part of evidence destroying, and he wouldn’t have made that video. Now, the evidence I’m talking about specifically is all the evidence in Komaeda’s room. Y'know, the critical evidence that Komaeda made no attempt of hiding, or destroying. Let’s go through the evidence piece by piece: 1) The gas mask, rubber gloves, and the blue aluminum seal were all left under the bed. Anybody who is above five years old could probably tell you that under the bed is the first place anybody checks when looking for something someone else might be hiding. Now, you might ask: but how would he dispose of any of this evidence? To which I say, the rules only ban littering and destroying the environment. So, he could just throw it out conceivably anywhere indoors that wasn't his room, and no one would check. 2) Up next we have the bottle of poison in the extremely obvious fridge. You know where would have been a better place to hide poison that needed refrigerating? The pharmacy. Or the market. Anywhere else that came with a fridge, instead of going out of his way to drag a fridge into his room. All he would need to do is just bury it somewhere in the back of one of the refrigerators hiding behind all these other items so no one could see it, and the likelihood of anyone finding it EVER would be slim to none. 3) The file? In the bookshelf? Now granted this evidence proved to be unhelpful in the end, but putting it on the bookshelf? A case of hiding it in plain sight? Or maybe he just put it there because he knew they would check it, especially since they KNEW about his prize from the final dead room. And it doesn’t matter anyway since he tore out the important parts of that file anyway. And he clearly destroyed those, so he could have conceivably have destroyed anything else. 4) Finally, the most damning evidence, is the shiny pink box with the journal on the table. Y'know, the most obvious thing you could have left in the most obvious place ever. No attempt was made there. None. Negative attempts were made with that specific one, and you know it. This evidence is important as this is the evidence that’s used to out the traitor. Even if Nanami didn’t out herself, they still stood a chance at learning it was her because of the diary entry she wrote. He didn’t know who the traitor was, but he knew upon reading that diary that HINATA would know. And yes, obviously Komaeda would know Monomi can’t write. He would have asked the same questions everyone else did upon finding it, and obviously Monokuma would have told him. Now, if you’re going to tell me this was the best Komaeda could do, I downright don’t believe you. Komaeda has already proven himself to be highly intelligent, and in all likelihood, the most intelligent person on the island, and if you really think that would be the best HE could do, then you’re clearly forgetting his abilities. You can’t even say by the time he’d be able to do anything about all this evidence he’d be dead because he could have actually taken care of all this the day before, or the day he swapped out the poison etc… so there’s no excuse for this pitiful attempt at destroying the evidence, if you can even call it that. You also can’t say he didn’t think people would search his room. That’s an insult to his intelligence. After pulling the crazy stunt he’s been pulling for the few days there’s no reason they WOULDN’T try to search his room. Which is why I say he didn’t try to hide that evidence. It makes more sense to explain the incredibly obvious crucial evidence as Komaeda intentionally leaving it in those places so everyone else stood a chance to find it. That evidence was absolutely key in solving what Komaeda had truly done. It was even essential in revealing the traitor. In other words, it gave the other side, Ultimate Despair, a chance. Now, the video however, used to be the bane of my existence, however if Komaeda had genuinely planned for the traitor to be the only survivor, the likelihood he would have made that video is slim to none. Komaeda probably believed the traitor already _knew_ the information contained in Nezumi Castle, after all why wouldn’t they? However even if they didn’t know that information, Komaeda had other motives for making that video: deceiving Monokuma. I’ll get to why that’s important in a bit. I promise, but I’d like to go back to his intentions for a bit. Now, as I’ve stated before, I believe that this was another hope gambit, just in extreme mode. (Ultimate mode? I’m not funny I’m sorry). Now I have stated before, Komaeda didn’t believe his death would be the great despair, so what DID he believe it was? The trial. His death is irrelevant, it only matters to kickstart the trial, the real despair. Or, more accurately, the vote. This is Komaeda’s final play, and what a better way for him to do it than to have the ultimate hope face-off? A contest of hopes: which hope is stronger, a hope that was never tarnished or the hope of those ravaged by despair overcoming themselves? Think about it: Ultimate Despair is despair in it’s purest human form, or despair in it’s purest form. To Komaeda, they are the embodiment of an absolute despair, the exact opposite of an absolute hope, which is what Komaeda wants to create. Except, what did I establish Komaeda fundamentally believes? *The greater a despair the greater the hope that will result of it*, and who better to create an absolute hope than the lowest of the low, Ultimate Despair themselves? Now, some may say that Komaeda would find those who into despair absolutely irredeemable, as though they can never return, but that blatantly contradicts his beliefs. While Komaeda definitely holds those who fall into despair in contempt, but that doesn’t mean he believes it’s an inescapable void. In fact, if he did, then his beliefs wouldn’t even be able to exist. How can you believe hope comes from despair if you believe those who fall to despair can never escape it? This is not only his ultimate hope contest, but it’s a test of his beliefs. Should Ultimate Despair win against the overwhelming odds stacked against them, then they are worthy of being representatives of absolute hope. If they don’t, then absolute hope can only be represented by those who’ve never been corrupted at all. Komaeda technically can’t lose this. If the traitor wins, then they are absolute hope, if Ultimate Despair wins, then they have become absolute hope. There’s no losing for him. Technically. Here’s where things tricky. As stated, the real despair to overcome is the vote. The real despair in this trial comes from voting for the traitor whether they want to or not, or being stuck at a standstill unable to figure out the truth and being forced to vote randomly, or that he killed himself. Once they realise it’s technically not a suicide, against all odds the whole trial comes to a grinding halt. After all, if he didn’t kill himself, who did? And so Komaeda’s game really begins. Now, the odds of the traitor surviving at this point is 5/6. Inversely, the odds of Ultimate Despair dying is also 5/6. Now think about this: *what* was Komaeda’s talent again? His luck, which he had an unyielding belief in even when planning his death, and his luck doesn’t just die with him. So long as he’s involved, so is his luck. It’s a powerful weapon to have at your disposal, so long as you know how to use it, and Komaeda’s proven multiple times he knows how to manipulate it to his favour. Backtrack a second, because I’ve brought up those odds for a reason. You remember the Russian Roulette incident? Of course you could do. Who could forget that crazy stunt? Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s symbolic as hell. Now a lot of people think that the five bullets represent Ultimate Despair, with the blank representing the traitor. Since he survived, it was foreshadowing for the traitor being the one to kill him, as they are the only pure one in the group. The 1/6 chance he had in surviving also represented the 1/6 chance the traitor would kill him. And while that’s true, that’s only half of it. Think about it like this: as I’ve said before there’s a five out of six chance that Ultimate Despair will lose, and die as a result. Russian Roulette is a similar life or death situation. Let’s say the bullets in Komaeda’s Russian Roulette don’t just represent the chances of the traitor killing him, but the chances of Ultimate Despair *dying*. Now, this isn’t just some baseless claims I’m pulling from thin air; I have my reasons for thinking this. You see, Komaeda himself is also a member of Ultimate Despair, so in his game of Russian Roulette he represents Ultimate Despair as a whole during trial. The gun represents the trial itself, and the bullets represent the 5/6 possibility that Ultimate Despair will die. The blank, of course, is their survival. The possibility of Komaeda’s death in that game is exactly the same as Ultimate Despair’s during trial. Reversely, him getting the blank represents the unlikely event of Ultimate Despair’s survival. In other words, the Russian Roulette incident is not only symbolic of chapter five’s murder, but of it’s _trial_. Komaeda plays Russian Roulette, and lives, not only because the plot demanded it, but because luck was on his side, but also because it represents his intended goal. *Komaeda might have set up a gambit he can’t lose but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a preferred outcome.* Yes that’s right. I _am_ implying that Komaeda’s preferred outcome was Ultimate Despair’s survival. Why? Because like I said before, them becoming absolute hope is the perfect embodiment of Komaeda’s beliefs. By creating a situation where Ultimate Despair had a 1/6 chance of survival, he put his luck to the test again, and one again, he was counting on his good luck. Komaeda’s luck has two conditions. The first is that after a great misfortune must come an equally great fortune, or at least Komaeda perceives it that way. This one is heavily emphasized throughout the game, especially his FTEs. The second is the more likely Komaeda is to “fail”, the greater his chances at “success”. This best demonstrates himself in his Russian Roulette game, but there are other incidents in his life that prove this. He had to do a few things to make it as difficult as possible for them to survive. First of all, he created an unsolvable murder that could only be solved by all the evidence he conveniently left in his room. The next is he needed to deceive Monokuma, because if even Monokuma believed he was out to kill them all, it just further convinced the powers that be that Ultimate Despair is destined to die, activating his luck’s hidden condition, guaranteeing their survival. In other words, by making it as difficult as possible for Ultimate Despair to realistically survive, he guarantees it, as that’s how his luck works. And, even if they do die, because his luck turns, then he still created an absolute hope from the survival of the traitor, who was never corrupted at all. And THAT, is my excessively long theory. *_tl;dr: Komaeda’s plan was just another hope gambit in extreme mode, except he secretly wanted Ultimate Despair to win over the traitor._* Thank you for your time.

I am very ashamed of that

All I'm saying is the jacket they wear is very similar

Well, there is a theory that Nagito is what Naegi would be if he falls to despair

+Madhatter oooh that's a cool theory *-*

There was a theory that Nagito is supposed to be an anagram of Makoto. He is also supposed to be the opposite, yet very similar(ultimate lucky student as well). Nagito Komaeda Makoto Naegi. NA GI TO KO MA E MA KO TO NA E GI

i thought that too when i first played dr2 i thought he was like if naegi became ultimate despair ,or something idk

Deidre Kodaka has officially said that the similarities between nagito and makoto where intended to fuck with the player

@angels333 leave them alone

Alexis Baker their was a theory that the ultimate despair mistaked mukuro's body as the real junko's corpse, and took her limbs instead.

Literally no-one Or, you know, it's an exaggeration.

Literally no-one Man, that's even more messed up since she was burned Although what Mikan did was more disturbing than what Komaeda did

Literally no-one But it was shown that in Mukuro's dead body, some of her nails were colored with red nail polish and others with white ones. The hand that Nagito got had its nails all colored with red nail polish.... And even the AI junko confirmed at the end of SDR2 that nagito took HER hand and not mukuro's.

i m o b s e s s e d Yeah it's kinda odd, cuz some of the Ultimate Despair allegedly tried to fuck her dead body too lel

@@andoryuguen1273 Hm? It's been a while, but I'm fairly certain I did.

IKR I didn’t know much about him other than the Twogami thing, but after watching the Future/Despair arc, he’s so 🥺🥺🥺

LMFAO

Yeah 😀✌️

that was kinda hot lol

@@creamii7017 HOW

“Huh? Huh?!”

@Sinister Sherbettbh i dont hate any characters .. but hiyoko hifumi and teruteru are like the worst characters nagito is 10x better than mahiru

Komaeda: Aww, weren't you gonna feed me, hajime? Hajime: OH HELL NO

ARMY

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

HOw SHocKINg

Rip Nagito. His feelings were not reciprocated. Hajime, come on man, he was hungryyyyyy! And food is necessary for human lifeeeeeeeee!

Stephanie Sheep I'm sure the interaction would go something like this "huh? Who are you? *filler conversation about hope and if you're an ultimate* so it's just us, two worthless individuals that are nothing but stepping stools for the ultimate"

yeah i was confused by that too. how did they obtain body parts(and raped her corpse) when she was crushed

Kira Smith Thank you im not the only one. Mabye it was her sisters?

maybe she wasnt completely crushed, afterall her body seemed quite durable as she survived the other executions, so its possible some of her bodyparts wernt as damaged, and then the remnants of despair scavenged the intact parts

Brandon Withnell or they collected all the pieces and stuck 'em together with duct tape (I'm joking)

@@kitcatcandy4563 It's impossible, remember, Spoiler for the end of the first game: *she got burt in the first game.*

Leon X *notices your profile pic* It seems your a shipper :3

Joker really stole Ryuji's heart

IS IT BAD THAT I CRIED OUT OF HAPPINESS WHEN I FOUND OUT NAGITO CONFESSED TO HAJIME-

Savitha Radhakrishnan AWWWWWW LCFLCLLCKFCKG DONT WORRY I WAS HAPPY TOO 😭💕

@@cawffee8899 SAME OMG

Gels

why am I in this fandom

Brown Cow I doubt he would’ve killed Hajime who he trusted and found a friend in. Besides I’m pretty sure killing an Ultimate would’ve caused bigger despair which would lead to a bigger hope if they were to solve it.

No he wouldn't.Nagito wasn't planning to kill anyone he was planning to get himself killed by Teruteru so he could become everyone's stepping stone.

I also can't see Nekomaru

Him too

Her wiki says that because she loves food so much, she probably starved herself.

I was thinking maybe Junko kidnapped her siblings and forced her to become Ultimate Despair through torture or possible killing of her siblings. Akane's only choice was either see more of her siblings die or join Junko, but I think that is more improbible was it seems Junko is the type to not use violence to get people to join her. Also the reason I say her siblings was that in her free time events she says she does gymnastics for the cast to feed her siblings because her parents won't do it.

+MapCandyLand Ya I agree out of all the characters in DR2 Nekomaru is the most incomprehensible. I also want Fuyuhiko because he's my favorite character.

Not just his dog, his parents died too, not in front of him, but still.

Literally the same reason why he’s my favorite, I love me some complicated characters to analyze.

@@bun3213 same, its a great past time for sure 🤧🤞
