poison - 劇薬 - [poison -deadly drug-] English Translation 

It's canon that Komaeda sings in the shower. Hold me.

CAN I BRING TO EVERYONES ATTENTIONS THAT MEGUMI OGATA IS 50 YEARS OLD

"Poison", pretty fitting title. It would have been more fitting if it were called "Giant Spear in my Chest"

Fangirls, he isn't just a lonely boy who fight for hope and likes Hinata. Haters, he isn't just a crazy hope-obssessed character. Keep this in mind, he is more than that.

Nagito just wants to be loved by someone :´(

What's interesting about this is that, more than the "I love him" part, I actually consider the fact that he wants to *understand* Hinata the far more powerful declaration of love, coming from a person like Komaeda.

Can we acknowledge his character though? He is not an "uwu smol". He is very complex. Komaeda has gone through a lot and also has frontotemporal dementia AND lymphoma. And he really just wants to be loved. Looking at his death in chapter 5, it's also clear he is very intelligent. He's probably been leaning on hope and luck most of his life and degrades himself often.

That hand that is pulling him up is totally Hinata. Komahina is (one-sided) canon and I'm not okay

Wow. Megumi Ogata is such a badass seiyuu. How can she sound so much like a male even while singing??

I love Megumi Ogata for this, it's amazing. She must really care about his character to write and perform this. She's more than any fandom could ever hope for. Seriously, what dedication. This really brings Komaeda to life for me. Like I can barely fathom that something like this exists.

let's just keep in mind that the creators confirmed that the "i love, and want to understand him more than anyone else" line is about hinata and it is canon that komaeda had a crush on hinata and that when komaeda asked hinata for his friendship, hinata reacted like he was expecting komaeda to ask more of him and it is canon (at *least* one-sidedly so) brb i'm tearing up

I just realized that, that's Enoshima's hand in the bottom left.

can we just put away the komahina for a moment and admire how deep and good of a character Nagito is? Like seriously, this is making me feel a lot. I really like this song a lot.

This song describes Nagito in so many ways, the most noticeable being that the song on the outside is upbeat and happy while it's inside is extremely sad, just like Nagito, who's upbeat and happy on the outside while he endures so much pain and suffering on the inside.

He's more than just a hope obsessed fan boy. He's another victim of Junko. A person stuck in a vicious cycle of hate and depression. Thinking his luck killed his parents.

"I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else" ~ Komahina confirmed

I wasn't sure about him until the end of the game, but when it all came together for me... Wow. I think he really is the strongest force of hope in the game, definitely more then the indecisive hajime, and though I love Chiaki she always worked to save her friends, but Nagito was all alone. He was willing to be hated just to bring hope to the world.

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE IVE LISTENED TO THIS GODDAMN SONG AND IM STILL CRYING

I think Nagito does not need a romantic par, although he likes Hinata, he needs friendships, people he can talk to without being judged, romance is good, but for someone like Nagito who has limited life time, I think he needs friends (Sorry for my bad english)

SPOILERS The song nicely ties into one of the game's themes and the nice contrast between Komaeda and Hinata. Komaeda looks up to the Ultimates while considering his "Ultimate Luck" talent worthless by comparison, but ultimately relies on said talent. Meanwhile, Hinata, who actually doesn't have a talent, ultimately realizes that talent isn't as important as believing in himself, and chooses to make his own future.

This song. I'm sure everyone has noticed is Nagito singing about Hajime He will give up everything for hope (Hajime) to overcome despair (Hajime struggles and Hajime creating his own beautiful hope) For the sake of that brilliance, Nagito will give up everything he has. He wants to understand him (Hajime) The world is full of boring people, but Hajime is someone Nagito wants to understand even if Hajime doesn't understand him. This is just a quick summary of what I noticed in the song.

He sings better than Maizono I can't even-

Nagito is such a incredible, complex character.

Okay- am I the only one here that isn't either hating him or calling him a cinnamon roll? He did a lot of bad things- and he had some fucked up ideals, but at the same time he had dementia and stage three lymphoma, so he had a reason (among all the other bad shit that happened to him.) like- is he an innocent precious boyo who is just misunderstood? Hell no. But was he fully in the wrong? Also no. Honestly, I feel like he is by far one of the most well written characters, which I guess is why there are such strong opinions on him. Oof, this is long, I'll stop now.

My heart can't take this. This is too cute but also so sad because all he wants is somebody's love.

This is a song Nagito would totally listen to I mean he *did* sing this afterall-

why isn't anyone noticing that the poison he's talking about is the one he breathes in on chapter 5 wtf. i mean, it's the reason that killed him. fucking rip.

"I wish I meet the biggest hope..." Hajime is the Ultimate Hope, he's Izuru Kamukura. "I want to see a desire..." Hajime has the biggest desire to have a talent, to be an Ultimate. "I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else." Through out the game, Nagito wanted to know who Hajime actually is. What talent does he have. Why does he feel a similiarity between the both of them.

Gonna cry because I don't want komaeda's feelings to be one sided

I wish there was a chapter where nagito receives everything he desires, crying from happiness and finally being relaxed around his friends, not being anxious about if his luck will kill them..i wish he and his friends beaten up his damn luck together and live the happiest life..that'd be the ultimate hope for him

I am so gay for Megumi Ogata I can't even- I already was obsessed with her voice since Assassination Classroom but now that I've entered the DanganRonpa fandom, I can no longer stop obsessing over Makoto and Komaeda. I mean there's even a theory on them being the same characters (they aren't but I find the joke funny) I'm just so obsessed with this woman's voice. I've never been so attracted to a woman's voice before her

Nagito is what I call "A writers dream" hes so complex and the most realistic danganronpa charachter out of any of them and perfect for any writing situation!!

Who else imagined that hand pulling Komada back up was his hand just bent and all snake like

komahina is cannon

I need to confess I have a crush on nagito he is sooo frickin handsome he just wants people to understand him 😭🥰💕

I know everyone is talking about the Japanese VA, but I can't get over one other thing. -English VA is also the same for both Naegi and Komaeda -the same VA voiced Tiz Arrior in Bravely Default -Tiz's image song is called "You're my Hope". GUYS IT ALL COMES TO HOPE IT ALWAYS COMES TO HOPE

So, a lot of people seem to think Nagito was only crazy because "IT WAS THE DISEASE MAKING HIM DO BAD THINGS, IT WASN'T REALLY HIM DOING THEM!" Well, the fact is that Nagito was only diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and Lymphoma right before entering Hope's Peak, and his warped outlook on the world had already manifested before then. Nagito's views about hope and despair are a result of his luck cycle - Nagito has a consistent pattern of experiencing really bad events and then coming out of them unscathed and even better off for it. Nagito himself is protected by his good luck, but everyone around him gets the splash damage from his bad luck and they tend to die. This left him purposely seeking solitude so as to protect the people around him from his bad luck, and is the cause of his obsession with hope - Nagito idolised hope as a coping mechanism which allowed him to deal with the situations he finds himself in regularly as a result of his luck. Over time, this obsession grew and twisted into him believing that only those with talent can embody true hope, and other people are just meaningless trash. His hatred of despair grew as a natural counterpoint to that. Frontotemporal Dementia may account for his weird social behaviours, but it's entirely possible he actually was bullshitting Hajime and he doesn't really have either dementia or lymphoma - remember, Nagito genuinely cares about Hajime and obviously wants him to feel some real compassion for him, telling him a sob story designed to generate sympathy is a good way to do this. The only source of information on it is Nagito's interactions with Hajime, it's not like anyone else can confirm or deny it. Or it could be the truth, but regardless it doesn't fully account for his twisted beliefs. Finally, to everyone saying things like Nagito was the greatest force for hope in SDR2, and that nothing he says is actually wrong, keep in mind, nothing Junko says is technically incorrect either. Nagito may have had ideals and goals which are considered good by most people, but he didn't care at all about the means taken to get there, and he didn't feel any genuine affection and attachment to anyone but Hajime. Nagito is an antagonist first and foremost, and while he may indeed have been a great help to the others - it's true they never would have gotten through most of the trials without him - it was only for the sake of absolute hope, and he couldn't care less about who had to die to reach it. He's *warped* to his core, and was deliberately written that way. He literally only cares about hope overcoming despair, and therefore he believes that an absolute hope can only be created through the existence of absolute despair. He's literally the kind of guy who'd kill someone in order to 'save' the rest without a second thought. And while he may not be as actively malevolent as Junko, he's equally as extreme in his beliefs as she is. In many ways, he's Junko's exact opposite. One purpose of his character is to show that absolutes, no matter which side of the spectrum they are on, are almost never a good thing in reality. Keep in mind BTW, I don't hate Nagito at all, he's my favourite male character and it's his complexity and the depth of his twisted ideals which make him so interesting. But the idealised fangirl version of Nagito doesn't truly represent him any more than the hater's 'evil psychopath' Nagito. He's much, much more complex than either of those interpretations, and simplifying his character to that extent is a disservice to both Nagito's character and Kodaka's writing ability. He's not evil, but neither is he a good person either, and it's important to keep both these thing sin mind about him.

i`m sure that hand holding Ko`s arm is Hinata. KOMAHINA TRIGGERED

Nagito: I love I want to understand him more than anybody else Chiaki: TOO MUCH INFO

There's something funny with nagito...You love him or You hate his guts there's only two option x) (personally i love him)

Poor Ko just wants someone to love him.. His back story makes me cry.. If he was real he wouldn't ever have to worry about being alone again D:

狂ってる感じほんとすこ

yes yes I'm actually crying :) I love this feeling ~

緒方さんの声まじでいいわ〜〜〜

I feel like people treat Nagito like he’s some hope obsessed kid who likes Hinata-

I love Komaeda, not only because his fanart got me into Danganronpa, but also because he’s so complex and has so much depth. Always keeps you on your toes. He’s just such an interesting character

Sometimes, whenever I have a bad day, I come here and listen to this song. I know it's cliched and weird to be feeling so strongly about a song sung by a fictional character, but I just love everything about this. The softness of Komaeda's voice, the feelings Ogata-san purred into it, the "I love and want to understand him more than anyone else" line that makes my KomaHina loving heart beat just a bit faster. He can finally be happy together with his hope, and is given the chance to understand him, just as he can finally understand Komaeda.

NAGITOS CHARACTER MAKES ME FEEL MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS THAT IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS CHARACTER

I would KILL for Bryce Papenbrook to sing an english version This is so beautiful though!!

I want to give him a hug so bad:((

I'm very late to SDR2 (did DR1 a long time ago) but Nagito was really a whole journey. I liked him at the start, and then when he became a more dangerous and unpredictable entity sowing chaos everywhere, I kept trying to figure him out while jumping between finding him amusing and annoying. Playing in his perspective both gave me more insight and took some away because they hid what exactly he found out - and what made him make such an abrupt demeanor change. And even in 2-5 while I was reeling at the terrible way to go I didn't know /why/ he would go to such lengths... like what did he see in the files.... And when that is finally revealed, there's too much happening to go back to dissecting Nagito's motivations at that point. But after completing the game, and coming here, the pieces finally clicked. Despite how much he kept seemingly changing during the game, he was always always consistent to his initial character. It doesn't excuse anything he did and how he went about doing it, but he isn't the one changing, it's the circumstances and what he found out that shaped the actions he decided to take. Amazing character.

i just want this kid to be happy oh my god

This song gives me Goose bumps for real Nagito is so hard to Understand hes one of the most strongest danganronpa characters too he’s so Interesting I love it

I love Komaeda so much that I can't contain myself, he's such a complex character.... You just can't hate Nagito

i don't recognize fictional characters as fictional characters anymore because of this, there's so much into nagito's character I ccan't

ダンガンロンパ大好き

This song (and his confession in the game) confirmed it! Komahina is one-sided. I wish Hinata wasn't so dense and would notice senpai already

Everyone is talking about Komahina or how complex and/or interesting Komaeda really is (I agree with that!), and I'm here just loving Megumi Ogata's singing voice. The song itself is really good, too!

KOMAHINA - that's all I kept thinking throughout this whole song

0:38WOAH WOAH WOOOHAHOLD UP40 seconds in and already start with the gayness?Komaeda chill XD

It’s so cool that Megumi Ogata wrote this herself!!

“I love and understand him more than anyone else” I will not be convinced that Nagito isn’t in love Hajime

every time i listen to this song I think about how much I fucking love Komaeda

"I'll tear apart my chest" Komaeda please not again

I don’t think I will ever get used to the comment section being moved.

Omg I read the wiki about this song and cried more😭 You really should read Nagito's wiki and his relationship with Hajime. I can't believe it's deeper than I thought

At the start of the game I just was thinking "shut up nagito" because he talked so much and was so cheery. (Spoilers) Then I began to like him a lot more after chapter 1. His character is amazing. His backstory is so sad. His death was so surprising. I had to take a moment to just process what happened. I still can't believe the pain that he would've felt while waiting for the gass. Team dr did an amazing job on nagito!

This song reminds me of two things 1-how Nagito is literally the best character ever 2- and how Hajime x Nagito is possibly canon and I’m happy now

Kokichi: Wow! You sing very well, and that’s the truth! Komaeda: really? You think a worthless trash like me sings good? I’m so lucky indeed to have you, the Ultimate Supreme Leader, as a Friend! Kokichi: I think I might just send this to Hinata-Kun! Komaeda: No wait! Never mind I take my previous statement back!

I wish I meet the biggest hope, glistens than other which I want to see a desire, glistens than anyone else I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else …more, more than anyone else… 平凡で退屈で つまらないものなんて …要らない 毒にも薬にもなり得ない言叶に 何の意味があるのか 誰にも 理解してもらえなくていい 【信じた】 世界が崩れ去るなんて 一秒で足りるから 絶望を踏み越えて 希望が輝くと 【信じて】 脉打つ心臓(いのち) 捧げよう 至光(ひかり)のためならば この胸 切り裂き 最後の一滴(ひとしずく) 唇に滴らし 濡らしてあげる 平凡で退屈な民 世界の大部分 弱者だからこそ 絶望の淵に立ち そこから為し得る 大金星(ジャイアントキリング) 誰もが飛翔できる なんてワケない 【信じた】 世界はかくも残酷で 一秒で変わるから 絶望を踏み越えて 希望が輝くと 【信じて】 グラスに注ぐ劇薬を すぐさま飲み干すか 迷って捨てるか 最期の選択を 委ねられた君を ただ瞰(み)ている 人類史上最悪事件で 死に絶えた土地に芽吹いた 至幸(いのち)の芽は 力強く雄々しく 花開くはずだと… 絶望を踏み越えて 希望が輝くと 【信じて】 脉打つ心臓(いのち) 捧げよう 至光(ひかり)のためならば この胸 切り裂き 最期の一滴(ひとしずく) 身体中廻り 侵されるように… I wish I meet the biggest hope, glistens than other which I want to see a desire, glistens than anyone else I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else …more, more than anyone else…

komaeda really gave us all gay rights ugh! king of being morally confusing!

Me: (*just vibing*) This video: Pops out on my recommendation so suddenly Me:.... *excuse me why now, youtube, why now?? it has been 5 years since this was uploaded and you go and recommend me rn?* ;w; I'm lonely on comments again

I absolute love Nagito. And these lyrics make me love him even more. "I wish I meet the biggest hope, glistens than other which I want to see a desire, glistens than anyone else *I love and want to understand him more than anyone else* *more, more than anyone else."* As twisted as he was, in the end, his dream and ideals were bright. This song and just his dream makes me want to cry, knowing what ends up happening to him anyway. He sacrificed himself without seeing the ultimate hope but died believing in his luck and hope. It makes this even sadder that he saw no worth in himself or his life. From the beginning to the end, he never loved himself... :,(

idc if it's cringe, danganronpa changed me. Congrats for being the only series with nagito in it

My shipper heart revived once again T.T

i love komaeda so much

It sounds beautiful! And it makes me sad. ;-;

I just wanna give him a hug

狛枝カッコイイ💕 緒方恵美さんサイコーすぎる💕

It hurts to think that the character hated by all the other characters was just trying to fight the despair and bring hope to them all. Nagito deserved so much better than he got, in my opinion.

im gonna cry i love komaeda more than anything on this planet

Nagito is such a complex character and I love him sm

It's Hajime's hand pulling him out of the water, and Junko's hand in the bottom corner. Also he is in some sort of tank/cage with Junko watching, it kinda symbolizes her hold over him. :)))

i still cant believe this song is a Real Thing that Exists and is Canon

I think the reason I love nagito so much is because he's kinda a bitch but like good because he's such a well written character. He has all good intentions but he is willing to do not good things. He's an antagonist with good intentions. Hes Probably one of the most well written characters in the game(s). I really love him TwT

Thank you so much for uploading this!!! It's such a pretty song and Komaeda deserves a character song. UGHHHH I LOVE MEGUMI OGATA!!!!

Oh my god. Megumi Ogata is my favorite voice actor/singer- Her voice is pucking cool. I was so happy that I found out Nagito's Japanese voice was Megumi Ogata. Because she voices my most favorite characters: Hanako-kun and Nagito. She's my idol ;v;

This fandom has taken over my life...and i am okay with that

okay but. this song has me crying at 2:19 am

Just finished DR2 today, loved Komaeda so much. :’)

THIS SONG PLEASE-- I can't help but coming back often, especially since Megumi Ogata wrote and sang it dedicating it to basically being Nagito's canon feelings. my god it gives me chills 1,000,000/10 extremely emotional and amazing it fits him so so well and it helps people understand him better too which is awesome to see, anyways I love it.

its beautiful... ^_^ can imagine nagito's singing.. does it also come with the off vocal?

イケボだなぁ…(遺言)

How is this song not on spotify yet it totally deserves to be on it

昔狂ったように聴いてた

Ok but everyone that Komeada loves dies..Just think about that
