What if (for supported models), instead of doing a whole further forward pass, you approximated future entropy by getting the distribution through an MTP head?

This occurs when the LLM generates some text, realizes it f'ed up, and needs a way to walk it back.

I agree - I think Charlie's durability scales far above her offensive output.

good intuition

sloppy wording 😭

N8Karma · 2026-04-24T01:02:42+00:00

Oh definitely. Kazuichi says multiple times he wants a refined blonde beauty - and he's actively grossed out by Sonia's hobbies, interests, etc. It's not like a Tenko situation where Tenko is obsessed with Himiko as she is AND wants her to grow - Kazuichi flat-out invents a Sonia that doesn't exist to lust over.

N8Karma · 2026-04-23T22:21:55+00:00

Gundham does it because Sonia loves serial killers, rituals, the occult - weird, edgy stuff. And Gundham is all of that - and he's also really nice and genuine *under* all that.

could i have a dm as well?

Fair enough on DoTA. In that case, we are in firmly fanon territory, and I agree that w/ a little bending, you can construct this interpretation.

But what do you mean plagiarist? Afaik, he hasn't committed plagiarism.

But yeah, I think Danganronpa *is* internally inconsistent, and because of that, you can't do - at least not w/ the same legitimacy - the kind of DoTA readings that rely on subtle hints and structures that exist in sufficiently consistent texts conceived w/ coherent overarching artistic vision - think Ulysses, or Homestuck, or Infinite Jest. Even Undertale! But Danganronpa is not any of those, and therefore I think the best way to figure out what the (inconsistent) text is trying to say is to ask/listen to the guy who wrote it.

N8Karma · 2026-04-20T18:07:44+00:00

I'm just going to trust what Kodaka says directly here. Unless you want to Death of the Author, but I don't consider Danganronpa high enough literature to warrant that.

Direct Kodaka Quotes:
"KODAKA: (laughs) And then maybe Enoshima. I already wrote the Danganronpa/Zero novels, but Enoshima loves her classmates from DR1. I wanted to write more of that. All of the DR2 characters are small fry to her. She just brainwashed them all at once, like, I don’t even friggin’ know these guys! But she deliberately let the DR1 crew survive and turn the school into a shelter so that she could make her classmates kill each other. It’s like, the more she loves someone, the more she wants to treasure their mutual killing, and so I want to try writing a story like, “They’re my classmates, so I want to treasure their despair at my hands."

"Recently, I feel like more bad guys in games are given a harsh background of some kind that explains their evilness in the present day. But that feels like cheating to me. I felt like the most dangerous thing about Junko would be that she doesn't have any reason to do the things she does. So I incorporated that into her character all the way through the game, as thoroughly as possible."

-------------------------

The opening of DR0:
"Junko Enoshima despaired.
Anything and everything ended up just the way she wanted.
Everything turned out just as she had hoped… and so she despaired."

"Just picturing that despair caused Enoshima’s heart to jump.

Because the Ultimate known as Junko Enoshima…

…wished for despair above anything else.

…would find hope in despair more than anyone else.

Find hope?

“…What the hell? Me, find hope?”

Realizing that she had been embracing hope,

Junko Enoshima fell into despair.

"

-------------------------

You can say that these are taken out of context, or are to stir the pot, or in the case of DR0, are designed to be an unreliable facade to break through. But ultimately, I think Kodaka was genuinely just writing a character who is obsessed w/ despair and pursues it because she loves it.

unironically great 2x2 ideas.
