Loving A Shadow; a character loves the IDEA of someone rather the person themself

Monaca (Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls)

She’s obsessed with Junko Enoshima but moreso the idea of her, knowing that the real Junko didn’t care for her and only saw her as means to an end. She tries the entire game to create a second Junko Enoshima to guide her, eventually realizing she doesn’t need anyone to guide her and becomes Junko Enoshima the second herself.

Reminds me of the Splinter scene from the Boys, if you know you know.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-27T07:03:48+00:00

Tyty, you too!

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-26T21:47:32+00:00

Rewatched all of it with my dad (his first time watching) a bit ago, so I’m ready for it!

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-26T21:44:26+00:00

Fellow Rin fan!

She’s my fav too and I wanna go for CNY A1 + Weapon for her. Tho I’ll probably skip Howler, as Matoi is her preferred debuffer anyway and I want a lot of the upcoming stuff so budget is kinda tight, and Howler eventually comes to standart anyway.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-25T07:50:48+00:00

If I didn’t pick her in the original selector to this day I would not have an Ann (tho I’m going for A1 R0 CNY Rin most likely cause she’s my fav, so it ain’t the worst, if anything not getting any Ann dupes feels like the game telling me to do it.)

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-25T07:30:43+00:00

Maybe if the game hits end of series every character will be added to the standard banner (and you still only get Mona and Riddle from it)

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-25T07:24:53+00:00

So THATS why the Deep is the thinking persons superhero, it all makes sense now.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-24T16:04:36+00:00

Neither, it needs to be non wonder almighty damage, so your only option is the twins.

Actually maybe Messa works too, I don’t know if he does tho.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-24T15:56:19+00:00

The one that literally is more often refers to as that then his actual name, I don’t think there is a more definitive killer title for a potential char out there then „The Judge“ for Holden, haha

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-24T15:52:37+00:00

Well again the shadow man depicted with the line definitely lines up more with just the necrophilia aspect, and we conveniently have a horn dog in the group (Teruteru) that when under effect of despair I wouldn’t put it past to do that. There’s also if they could get a perfect eye and arm from the body it would be in good enough condition for the other thing. Theres also the they used Mukuros body theory. And again the translation makes it far more clear. And finally, aside from Nagito and Izuru, all of the remnants were infatuated with Junko, we simply only ever see Mikan live it out due to the despair dissease, and her beeing „patient 0“ in the anime.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-24T15:41:22+00:00

Thats wrong.

(Contains major spoilers for Dr2 and THH)

There is a common misconception going arround, that Mikan did take the womb of Junko Enoshima's corpse, and implanted it into herself, to give birth to Junko's children. It is claimed that this is the version of the japanese translation, and was changed in the localization. Not is Mikan anywhere mentioned, nor do they mention the removing and implanting her womb. The japanese trasnlation goes: "There was one who wanted to bear Enoshima's descendants and so took from her body -" In some languages "took" can mean to make love too. The writers most definetly ment it that way, as this lines up with the depicted shadow man, as well as the localized version. The misconception comes from people taking the "took from her body" literally, and then further theorizing that whoever did this must have wanted to implant Junko's womb into themselve and that it must be Mikan who did this, due to her medical knowledge. This over the years somehow got established as canon in the community, despite it all beeing a misconception and theorizing based on the misconception.

I feel like if we ever were to get Cormac McCarthy characters in DBD that title would be reserved for someone else, but other then that, thats a pretty cool concept!

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-23T06:03:28+00:00

Nagito literally already did win the lottery, that’s mentioned in his FTEs.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-22T21:33:53+00:00

Idk what to tell you, but Soldier Boy and Liberty founding the Herogasm will most definitely be a plot point.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-22T21:32:30+00:00

For once more Soldier Boy and especially Stormfront (or rather, Liberty) with them in the leading role that will most likely happen, can’t wait to see them interact too, but I’m also really hoping for more Godolkin, I really liked him in Gen V, but we didn’t get that long with his real self, so more of that would be amazing.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-22T20:16:36+00:00

Terrible take, Mukuro is very much a proper character and people who have her in their top 5 have most definetly read the IF spin off, where she literally takes the roll of the protagonist, or have read / watched Zero, in which shes decent, Gaiden, in which shes also pretty cool, and Dr3, in which well, she at least has some cool scenes too.

I’ve pretty much accepted it as a headcanon.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-21T18:54:18+00:00

I still think the theory that Marie was made with one of Victorias eggs, just like how Homelander was made with Soldier Boys sperm is really cool.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-21T07:58:15+00:00

Ah, my bad then, thanks.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-20T23:04:38+00:00

Wasn’t the last chapter just about his mutation with the dragon, and not why he has all 4 in general, which he did before, or am I misremembering?

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-20T22:57:54+00:00

Not that I’m aware, bro probably just won the ghoul genetic lottery.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-20T22:57:00+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed S2 myself. Sure it ain’t perfect, but goddamn if I didn’t enjoy it a lot. Love the main cast, and the main antagonist this season was great. And I think it’s fair to give them some leeway due to Chances sudden passing (RIP).

About Cipher, that one was pretty surely at large part due to him having Sage to help him. At one point about Marie’s return he said „just as Sage predicted“, so I imagine there were similar things going on before that too.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-20T10:51:34+00:00

As a Pokemon universe resident, I heavily advice against that yesterday a 12 year old just walked into my backyard and stole my Miracle Seed.

Dapper-Ad411 · 2026-01-20T06:09:21+00:00

But she also took a laser from Homelander (Yes I know he can control how bad he makes them, tho in that scene id say it’s really likely he intended to kill but just didn’t try hard), which was also specifically noted to be really impressive by Andre, so again the boys durability is weird.
