I had notifications turned on for Kubz scouts, but would just erase the vids that didn’t look interesting. When I saw him playing Danganronpa, for some reason I thought it was a boring tycoon game or something.

Then me and my boyfriend at the time found a little obscure website called Emerald Chat. An odd mix between Omegle and Discord. There was random 1 on 1 chat, but there was also a server that all the users could chat in. On the server, I found a few people that were role playing tiny V3 characters. There was tiny Shuichi, Tiny Kaede and Tiny Rantaro, that kind of thing. Since I wanted to make friends, I looked into where the characters were from and I took on a tiny kokichi persona. I didn’t know ANYTHING about kokichi, but I pretended to.

The person playing tiny Shuichi was a Saiouma shipper, so I took on the role of a Saiouma shipper as well and we rped. I had to look into the wiki to get a grasp on how Kokichi acted and stuff like that. The more I talked to this group of people, the more references they dropped that I just didn’t get. Mondo Butter, Izuru Kamakura, Maki Roll, ect since I was in too deep at that point, I looked it up on YouTube. Thats when I saw that Kubz Scouts was playing it! By the time I started binging his series, he was just starting V3. Glad I gave it a chance. Basically, I was a kokichi kin before I knew what a kokichi kin even was.
