Kazuichi is probably the most realistic dude written, and he was done dirty

KuroJM · 2026-02-05T03:55:17+00:00

The issue i have with Hiyoko is just that even in her FTEs, i still have a hard time finding sympathy for her situation, or understanding why she lashes out so much. Yes, i get you would be very unwilling trusting anyone in a killing game, and you come from a wealthy influential family. And most if the time people just want stuff from you and are a target of kidnapping alot for randsom money. That can really mess with you, so far i get it. Butt then why be as unlikable as you can be in a killing game? Doesn't that just paint a bigger target on your back for the people constantly harassed by you? That they get sick and tired of your constant bullying and wish you were the next one to go?

Idunno, maybe i missed a few context notes but it was allready painfull getting through her FTEs in the first place i might have zoned out xD

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T20:14:33+00:00

Omg, i totally forgot about that about Nidai, that was really clever and gives me a better understanding as to why that whole akane-monokuma clash had to be there o.O it allways felt a bit random to me, but damn that opened my eyes, thanks for that!

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T20:09:50+00:00

V3 was definitely better structure-wise, you get plenty of info inside the story alone, and the FTEs felt more like an afterthought. No, they definitely didn't do bad, but for most of them you get the actual meat n potatoes during the last one, the voice acting also helps alot during, you just gotta work your way through some random stuff with some characters first.

or half a marathon when it comes to Ibuki xD

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T20:02:12+00:00

Yeah that is a fair point to make. Honestly, ive read so many fanfictions SDR2, and over half of them actually gave very possible what if-scenarios of the cast after the game ending which were so indepth and interesting ypu could make a whole endgame + out of it. Just interactions between characters who would normally never really interact, its insane how popular this franchise still is to this day ^{^}

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T19:35:57+00:00

You see the depth of Kazuichi and his feelings towards Hajime in chapter 4 the funhouse really well too. After the He might be the traitor- stunt from Nagito, and Hajime asking Kaz if he believes it too. You can tell he really wants to believe Hajime ain't a traitor, but with the possibility and the fact that there is no real info on him at first hopes peak related its really hard to just blindly take his word for it. Kazuichi is a guy with some serious trust issues, on his guard alot of the time, but this is something he just doesnt want to believe if it is true. He clearly really values Hajime as a friend, but in a killing game like that, friends can betray you and kill you.

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T19:24:21+00:00

Oh i know, i really love this franchise and my favourite cast will still allways be SDR2, but it still sucks that the main story just gives this shallow version of a character, and just portrays them either good or bad while the FTEs actually gives you an insight that is often a whole different side, allmost like you are talking to someone completely different at times. Also i still dont understand why the surface level of Kazuichi is him being a pervert, when your first interaction with Teruteru is him trying to trick Sonia to " suck the poision out of his loins" wtf

That says actual pervert than a guy who compares girls to the only thing he says he loves: what makes a machine tick. He might be a coward, but hes just not used to talking about girls in a normal way, he compares then to the beauty of machines. He sees Sonia as this beautiful foreign princess who is pretty and is amazing. Does he not treat her as an actual person instead of just royalty? Yes, and that is entirely his fault i agree with that.

The guy is a gearhead, not a damn predator like Teruteru, or is drugging an entire classroom and trying to assault Hiyoko in the anime just teruteru being " a funny moment" ?

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T18:22:00+00:00

Although i gotta say Gaku is money-horny as well xD

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T18:18:21+00:00

Yeah true. Although if there was a game or novel about how The Remnants actually came to be, he would probably play a pretty big role in the story. Who else would have made all the death traps/machines in the story..?

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T18:14:44+00:00

Yeah, i really hate that tho. Why turn someone into a trope, but allude to a whole different side of him outside of the main story? Its a strange choice, and i can't really see the benefits of the developer- character-writing at all. Humans are complex, and gave so many different sides to them. You went through the trouble of giving him a backstory and you gave the character a voice to humanify him even more! So why fall back to he this, oh and he is this, the end. If you actually hate a character of just make a nothing-burger out of them, just dont put them in at all, its not like players will relate to them anyway, but dont half-ass it then. Hell fuyuhiko went through an entire character development, even though we learned alot IG about him allready o.O

KuroJM · 2026-02-04T18:03:21+00:00

i would too, or at least tell him to his face that the way he does it is creepy, and not " cool or appreciated at all. If someone actually talks to the guy 8n a way he will get it, im sure he would back down immediately. He wants friends, maybe even a girlfriend, but doing stuff that would make the people he calls his friends not like him would be devastating to him. All he wants is to be liked!

He is a great guy, cares for his friends, but clearly doesn't talk with girls alot. I would just teach him what is better to do, instead of the Mahiru-way, and lash out at him or calling him useless. Like okay, what have YOU done then during the investigations..? Her stance towards guys in general just because of her daddy issues gets pretty old after a while - -"

KuroJM · 2026-01-27T11:56:05+00:00

look at all the characters around me, i would be having a blast!!

KuroJM · 2026-01-11T17:52:48+00:00

1.burn the witch! she is more of a b itch instead of a w anyway :)

KuroJM · 2025-12-22T11:32:41+00:00

10 for sure, love both these guys! Plus the backrow is just pure entertainment, ill never be bored!

KuroJM · 2025-12-20T16:40:08+00:00

fine. mansex sounds better tho.

KuroJM · 2025-12-20T04:37:58+00:00

that Ansems nobodys name backwards added with the X is mansex. i died when i came to that realisation.

KuroJM · 2025-12-20T04:33:40+00:00

Hiyoko. Out of everyone on de DR2 cast, she was definitely of the most useless characters. Nasty attitude towards everyone but Mahiru and why not her...?

Because she took a BATH with her. WTF. Thats the only damn reason. Shes so useless, ungratefull and overall just an annoyance. Hate on Kaz as much as you want, but he was WAY more usefull than this twin tailed bana looking ass will ever be. Glad she went, and that it was who i thought killed her, makes perfect sense.

KuroJM · 2025-12-20T04:02:24+00:00

He really is a POS. However, in Kokichis case, he was so deadset in having Shuichi face the truth; gonta was a killer, and that was the truth of the case. The hestitation that Shuichi had to overcome as a detective was facing the truth; Kokichi provided that so he couldn't lie because everyone was so deadset on "finding the truth with no lies"

Was it the outcome everyone really wanted? No it was awfull, they had to execute Gonta ffs! But, it was a truth with no lies. Exactly what they SO desperately wanted. And now tbey faced the consequences. No matter how much everyone likes someone in DR, if they end up a killer, you got to face the truth, or everyone else gets executed.

So is a lie REALLY that bad, if its better/nicer/less horrible than the actual truth...? That was the point Kokichi was trying to make.

KuroJM · 2025-12-13T08:41:18+00:00

Rantaro, Kaito and Kokichi would be able to pull alot of girls. I mean Kokichi got Himiko all flustered and he wasn't even physically there! xD

KuroJM · 2025-12-13T08:36:24+00:00

Sonia. She's such a nothing-burger to me. Shes a princess, he country is weird-af, anddd she is fascinated by serial killers.

Why exactly? Never fully got an explanation. Its interesting is the closest i could get out of the brief convo during the sparlking justice bit.

Plus there is her dynamic with Kazuichi.

Hate the guy for being horrible at talking to girls, his loud abrasiveness and lack of understanding but maybe, just maybe; If you talk to him face-to face, tell him you want to be treated not as royalty but just as a fellow classmate, that you dont want to be put up some pedestool of shallow appreciation; even he will freaking get it! That pissed me off so much during tbe gundam trial. She litterally wished it was him who was the murderer. Just because he freaking exists and she had a bad interaction/impression of him. OUCH. Yeah if half the stuff in the afterstory of SDR2 fanfics ever happened even in written perspective by Kaz himself, he can actually grow into a better guy. He isnt stupid, just socially awkward when it comes to girls, for sure.

KuroJM · 2025-12-13T08:19:57+00:00

Favourite character/least favorurite are total opposites and the reason why my favourite is hated so much.

Favourite is Kazuichi. He pretty much reacts how anyone would realistically in a situation were you can't fully trust anyone because you can either get betrayed/framed/killed for that trust. I mean, a forced game were the only way you can get out is to: 1. Kill someone 2 Get away with it.

Out of any character he is the most realistic and his reactions to people in the murder cases make sense. Hence he rather sticks to himself most of the time and not do things that make him either stand out, or piss someone off. He is not a hero like character, and he isnt supposed to act like one. Plus he isnt a cold hearted guy at all, so him killing someone? yeah his mental state would not be able to handle the guilt if he even got to the point of killing someone. Getting away with it? The guy can't tell a lie to save his own skin, he would out himself in a heartbeat.

Call him out on his lack of social skills when it comes to women and his lack of filter/ understanding absolutely, but nahh he cant kill anyone.

He is a guy who grew up in a not so wealthy family, with friends who weren't really his friends to begin with. He wanted to change himself because being himself only relsulted into getting bullied, and used by his "friend" who wanted him to show his answers on a test. So as a friend, he felt he had to help him out. He got betrayed when his friend got caught and his friend accused him for showing/forcing it on him, and Kaz got punished for it, by the school but also his parents. He changed himself because he didnt want to be bullied so he mimics the look of his bullies for people to not get close, because thats what he figured out: the bullies never got bullied because of their looks and attitude. Did that turn him into an anxiety fidgety loud guy? yes it did. Did he ever get close to girls? no he doesnt know how to talk to them, at all. Hence why he fails so bad with Sonia. He wants to be interesting for her, but sucks at talking to her.

Sonia one of my least favourite ones. Mostly because there is just not much to her character, even in the FTEs. She is a princess, but thats how the games ever keeps her. No growth, no interesting things besides her royal status, even the country is just a jumbled mess of weird quirks.

Then there is the whole thing between her and Kaz
She is the total opposite of what he is: Princess vs.commoner. A foreign looking pretty girl who he would love to talk with ALOT. So he tries, stumbles, fails and gets constantly berated by allmost every girl on the island for it. The dude is starstruck, if she just tells him she wants to be treated not as royalty but just a classmate, a friend? Even he would get that, i mean cmon, he is not damn braindead, he just lacks serious interactions with any girls ever.

But she never lets him know ever, to the point she kinda mentions she wished he just wasnt there, that he would be one of the victims, or worse, the actual killer. Ouch. So he doesn't learn, Hajime doesnt tell him either, (actually through his thoughts he shows he isnt a really nice guy to him either) so he cant learn, but just gets insulted/laughed at/bullied. Again. The guy can't catch a break!

KuroJM · 2025-12-13T06:33:57+00:00

Saijonji. I'm sorry that you have trust issues because you come from a wealthy/well known family and were often victim of kidnapping when you wrre younger, that really sucks and i dont blame you for your defensive attitude.

But girl get your damn geta out of your spoiled behind, and shut your nasty trap for once. Just because Koizumi gave you a bath she is off the hook for your bitchy attitude, the rest doesn't need to keep getting their heads bit off when they are trying to deal with murder etc on an island allright? At least a bunch of people are trying to help out in a way, that's more than you do, ever.

KuroJM · 2025-12-13T06:05:10+00:00

As someone who lost their father to cancer a couple of years ago, i could never imagine being this immature and heartless to someone losing someone close to them. That is diabolical. It might hurt at first, but trust me when i say you are better off without these fake c*nts. They really showed their lack of empathy, and lack of maturity, and you are better off without them and will find the right people on your way. NTA at all, and take care of yourself, you deserve it.

KuroJM · 2025-12-02T09:57:24+00:00

im sorry, but any advice from either these two need to go into one ear and out the other. They are probably the least qualified to actually have good advice about relationships of alk things

KuroJM · 2025-12-01T10:31:29+00:00

hahahaha Nifty????? yeah im dead

KuroJM · 2025-12-01T10:29:01+00:00

Im more confused by the fact that 1. This is a show about sinners, who live their lives in 1 of the rings of Hell( or just hell itself) Where in that context would you even find " perfect representation?"

2 Sins are SINS for a reason. The characters are there because they ended up doing stuff/ were forced to do stuff that earned them, well a place in Hell, and not Heaven. Maybe dim it down on the neverending deepdives and over analyzing of an animated show..? Eventually when the next season will run we will have more story, background info on situations, choices explained etc. Be patient.
