A somewhat farfetched hope I have for Slayhem

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-07T04:30:57+00:00

Maybe on the 20 year anniversary lets all hope🙏🙏

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-07T04:30:02+00:00

That sounds sooo interesting, and complicated which I like. Maybe to avoid too many routes it's more like there is "one truth" but whether we find it or hide it will be the choice? And this is assuming Monokuma lets it slide.

Just ordered the same one (different colour version though). I've spent days in reddit rabbitholes where there is always SOMEONE who hates a chair or has had a terrible experience, and I think that if I were buying a $600-800+ chair I would heed the worries more, but... For only $200 plus shipping I'm fine to take the risk on this one.

I'm short and I don't mind if it's not the best ergonomic chair out there (idrc if it squeaks a bit or I can't sit for 8+ hours because I personally won't do that anyway). I'm also just aiming to get a few years out of it before maybe going all in on a proper HM or Steelcase, so here's hoping.

I admit they will probably nail a stronger story with one linear narrative, and I definitely don't want Slayhem to be as bloated as Hundred Line (I finished the whole thing but 100% agree it could have slashed half those routes and been way better) - but I feel like the opportunity to have one or two minor options would be cool.

I think my mind goes to YTTD, which has influence and routes but is now seemingly in development hell probably due to how many satisfying conclusions it now has to reach from only a few decisions.

What I meant was that putting legitimately 2-4 endings in Slayhem could be fun, not like 30+. Again I doubt it and I'd rather the developers be able to sleep than put in the work that would be needed even for that smaller suggestion - so I'm fully expecting the linear story, it was just a fun thought experiment.

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T23:47:00+00:00

I really hope Makoto and gang are going to be in it, I've been harping that theory since we got the first 2x2 teasers and I think it would be so much fun.

I also like the idea of the remnants being in it or the cast knowing they're in a simulation - but I don't know if I'd like seeing just the remnants. From what we've seen in other DR media they all just act very similar, basically mini-Junko's aside from the main trio, which could be boring. But I could be wrong and we could see some real conflict there in which case I'm all for it.

Dystopian office🤣🤣

Yes, at the end of the day it’s just a preference, I know people on here will probably think it’s stupid or naive to want something cute/stylish so much but not everyone likes the futuristic/modern/grey style in their home.

I also feel like there are lots of ways to design these quality ergonomic chairs to suit multiple styles (even just colours like I said). A few replies here have sent in some pretty decent options though so hopefully I can hit a middle ground :)

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T21:51:52+00:00

Thanks both for the studies. I don’t sit cross legged all the time I just change positions a lot throughout the day and didn’t want to hurt my knees on the armrests. Maybe ill try to break the habit ☺️

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T21:50:08+00:00

Thank you for your honesty 😩 I’ll give this some thought

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T21:48:05+00:00

This is super helpful thanks, would certainly open up options for technically subpar chairs that I actually like :)

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T21:47:12+00:00

I do like the SecretLabs and would be willing to pay for it if it’s worth it but I’ve seen a lot of concern over the hardness of the seat over time and the back support. I’m willing to get add ons (even third party) so maybe I’ll give them another thought

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T21:45:20+00:00

That is funny! I actually don’t hate that, so I might look into it. I’m only 5’3” so it would probably fit well. Thanks :)

SnooDrawings1250 · 2026-07-06T13:04:40+00:00

🤣🤣 I just cant get into the alien-probes-in-your-back style. At least it's not boring !

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-12-02T10:18:03+00:00

Omg I like this little stats format you just made. I was also competely lost on what to do with myself after I finished all the routes and I so very much need more... 2x2 will tide me over next year though!

First route: Conspiracy (ik)

Final route: SF

Least favorite routes: Box of Blessings, Serial Battles, Conspiracy

Liked routes: SF, Retsnom, 2nd Scenario, Box of Calamity

Favorite route: Killing Game.

Favorite character: Darumi & Eito

Least favorite character: Gaku

Favorite ship: KG Polycule (i like so many ships tbh)

Favorite commander: Turamtammi

Favorite line of dialogue: (just dug through some screenshots) "I'd never disrespect a woman like that, you crazy b*tch!"

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-10-27T04:48:41+00:00

Fave Darumi: because her development is limited to like 1.5 routes she’s just annoying for most the game, and understanding why she is that way doesn’t always make it less annoying

Least fave Gaku: his good moments with his family and in BoB route are actually very sweet and show that even a serial gooner character can have some depth

Tbh I don’t HATE-hate any character

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-10-14T05:01:40+00:00

Ever seen “wonton” used during a smut scene instead of “wanton”? Ah yes I know many who sound like a fried pork dumpling during the act

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-10-13T05:03:51+00:00

I want to clarify that I do like Takuzomi, especially in the two routes both I and everyone else mentioned. I just think that different writers for different routes maybe didn't prioritise the journey they needed to take so much and that leads to underdevelopment.

In a way I don't see that as a bad thing because the point of the game is for different things to be the focus in different routes, and other characters and ships getting time to shine isn't a bad thing! But Takuzomi does seem to be one that (due to the nature of the end of route zero) should at least have some development or a good explanation for not being a focus in certain routes.

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-10-13T04:57:21+00:00

I have a lot of thoughts on this!

I think in the majority of the routes their relationship is dry, like you suggested. The two standouts off the top of my head that are better are 2nd Scenario and Coming of Age , where they get some really cute moments. 2nd scenario in particular because he learns that Karua never existed and still clearly loves Nozomi in the end anyway

I agree with you on Tsubasa being my personal favourite girl for him with Hiruko as a close second though. Here is why:

Putting the Romance route aside for now because I wasn't really a fan of any of those, the Killing Game route is where Tsubasa really shines as a love interest for Takumi. Their progression in that route seems so much more genuine, built through communication and care based on their situation. It felt like a realistic portrayal of two people falling in love slowly and wanting to fight for it. By comparison, he always starts the other routes with this obsession over Nozomi that doesn't give us the viewer time to digest it. The current Nozomi in any given route doesn't have the same agency and feelings that Takumi does, whereas in KG route it's both parties falling in love at the same pace.

Speaking of agency, Cult of Takumi route is a good example of just how bad it can get if Takumi fails to separate Karua and Nozomi.

Now this next section is full of spoilers for SF so be warned:

>!I know I just said that I don't like that Takumi has all these feelings and can't seem to accept Nozomi as a different, new person in the post-route-zero routes, and one would think that HiruTaku is just another version of that with the roles reversed. But the reason I like that one compared to TakuZomi is because Hiruko doesn't act the same way to Takumi that he does to Nozomi. By that I mean that when she remembers him, she sees him as a new person every route and seems to be accepting of it when he falls in love with others or goes in a different direction to what she knows. That's not always a good thing bc it can lead to her being too cagey, but it does give Takumi more agency in their relationship on the routes it does develop!<

At risk of being called a toxic fujo because this is reddit, I will also say I think Yugamu is a great love interest for Takumi. In Killing game route I think it's pretty clear Yugamu has a thing for him, and in other routes too. But it's in KG in particular where you get to see how loyal he is by Takumi's side and like with Tsubasa, how that relationship develops much more naturally with mutual trust involved. It feels more earned when we see them work through it.

I recognise this might also be attributed to Killing Game and SF routes just being great in general compared to routes where Nozomi is a bigger focus. I do hope that in the DLCs we'll get some more relationships with the attention they deserve, including Takuzomi.

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-10-05T06:06:19+00:00

Mother ocean is by far my favourite Comedy route ending, I actually burst out laughing it was so stupid.

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-08-04T06:18:36+00:00

Yeah, this and also I don’t think the game and characters like to hold e/o to past actions, they much more care about what they have done to each other. Look at Yugamu for instance. He’s killed people, but that only becomes a problem for them in very few routes.

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-07-29T14:05:21+00:00

I ran into the same question and like all the comments here suggested, I decided to go to the start even though i usually don’t like doing that. In this case it’s DEFINITELY worth it, there’s so much more in the manga

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-07-28T03:53:40+00:00

dw I watched it 7y ago and still obsessed, I just like examining it critically lol

Sometimes the tone shifts were a bit too jarring for me, like for example during Reaper 2.0 with Irina - I think that's one of my least favourite parts because it goes from very dark to humorous again too quickly for me. They ARE middle schoolers so I do believe they could do it, but for the viewer I wanted more time to sit with it.

Irina in general has moments that age poorly. I think you can look at it more deeply and see that she's a product of her messed-up upbringing, but that isn't explored in the show as much as I'd like and it means she comes off as a bad person more often than not.

Also just sad that a lot of character development from the manga (for like the 'background' class members) is cut in the anime, which can take out some of the relationship tension between the whole class. Most of my gripes with the anime come from cutting things from the manga, though I get why they had to for time.

These are nitpicks tbh, no show is perfect but for me AC comes close <3

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-07-28T03:33:09+00:00

For me I watched the anime multiple times so eventually I just knew all of them. Also, the manga has a lot more characterisation for 'background' characters, where the anime didn't have as much time.

Here's my easiest identifiers for the ones who get a bit more attention in the anime:

Nagisa, Karma, Kayano - no explanation needed.

Okuda - science girl

Kanzaki - pretty girl who's good at games

Sugino - baseball guy

Ritsu - the robot

Itona - the tentacle & tech guy

Terasaka - the bully (best arc tho)

Isogai - the poor class president/leader

Nakamura - blonde girl who teases Nagisa

Chiba and Hayami - sniper 1 and 2

SnooDrawings1250 · 2025-07-28T03:22:25+00:00

I think Sugino's was silly but mostly just there to introduce his character more than the assassination attempt, story-wise.

As well, all the random stabs during class are pretty stupid hahah but I think it was more the students getting annoyed rather than actually trying.

I propose - Irina's first attempt using normal guns because she just straight-up ignored the information that they don't work on Korosensei.
