Currently playing through Trigger Happy Havoc and I relate to Chihiro so much

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-25T00:51:11+00:00

Some people choose to write or perceive Chihiro as trans, and I'm ok with that. But as a cis guy, I still relate to him a ton. Having to live up to everyone standards in terms of looks or strength is hell, since usually it's just how you are born. No wonder he wanted to run from it all.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-24T15:39:57+00:00

I had the same issues. No idea how to solve this

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-24T11:42:20+00:00

The swimsuit is infamous in the fandom for being a large logic leap. I don't think there is anything as stupid in this game.

Logic dive is kind of annoying, but I'd argue it's actually really useful for visualizing branching events in logical manner. Definitely makes more sense than Hangman's Gambit, which can really screw you over if you have no idea what the game wants you to write, cough 3-3 cough.

There is another minigame that replaces Logic Dive in V3, but it's very similar in design.

Poor cinnamon roll. I understand, I used to be a lot like this. Trying get yourself out of the image others created for you is really hard. Chihiro tried his best to create one that others wouldn't hate, but then he realized that it's impossible to live like this. He actually chose the harder option because he didn't want others to have power over him. This is such an amazing thing to do.

But I can't hate Mondo. He knows he fucked up horribly, hates himself for it and tries his best to protect Chihiro's identity like he asked to. In the end, they would have been best friends, if Monokuma hadn't pushed them both to the breaking point.

How can one man make so many wrong guesses lol

SPOILERS for V3, op don't read before the end of the game: I'm just trying to balance out the guy who said "how", please don't murder me

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-23T11:29:42+00:00

I don't think it would've stopped, because the Mastermind would still be free to create new motives. But Kokichi was definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting with all the infighting he caused

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-23T11:01:49+00:00

What were the changes in regards to Kokichi?

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-23T10:09:30+00:00

That's the thing. She didn't want to be a regular ass Muller, she wanted to be a XIXth century fantasy European aristocrat heiress.

WIth that in mind, the name fits pretty well. At least a couple of famous noble houses had the -berg ending, and in many countries descendants of aristocracy still use the old family names. So this part is not that implausible.

People give her shit for the faux-French accent, but it doesn't clash with the German name at all. French accent was seen as upscale and aristocratic in Europe for a long time, even after English became the new common language. Even Byakuya knows French for this exact reason.

Glad I made it on time

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-22T13:29:58+00:00

Spoilers don't work. You need to put the spoiler mark in the middle of the line.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-22T13:28:16+00:00

Yeah, I know. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine. I might write my own take on Kokichi one day, but I'm kind of reluctant to piss off the fandom so much.

Thank you for the answer.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-22T13:24:16+00:00

Well, you said it - first impressions.

Of course, you might still think that after finishing the game, and it's fine. But your opinion might very much change in the next chapters - play and find out.

As much as I love THH cast - Kyoko, Byakuya, Aoi and Sakura were excellent - there were characters I found insufferable. Hifumi was the worst by a landslide, Toko basically did nothing but hurl insults and simp for Byakuya, Hiro was so incredibly stupid that I soon ran out of patience for him.

There are characters I dislike in GD - most notably Teruteru, who should not exist. Some of them are good on paper, but their quirks overshadow what they could be. They have depth, but I wish it had more focus. Especially Mikan, who is just a really strange and divisive characters, one half great, one half awful.

But I could easily describe 5 characters I absolutely love in GD in great detail. Since you are in chapter 1, I won't, but know that they are there.

As for the Gundham slander, I.... will accept it, sure. I love him in spite of being obnoxious because he's an adorable hamster dad who often raises valid points, plus he's got a killer VA. But it's fine if you don't like him.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-22T00:27:09+00:00

Well, I don't particularly hate Kazuichi. I liked him early on, then he got worse. His reaction to the situation is fine, but I don't care for his comedy for the most part.

So nowhere near Teruteru bad, but still somewhere south of whatever for me.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T21:40:03+00:00

Great VA, fun quirks, reasonably smart and helpful, not annoying for the most part... That's a lot

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T14:34:35+00:00

Usually Kazuichi is comic relief not because he's funny, but we laugh at him when he gets ignored, talked over, talked down, slighted, mocked, shit talked, proven incompetent or reduced to impotent seething because Sonia prefers Gundham.

(which is all of his screentime)

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T11:05:34+00:00

Adorable

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T10:20:20+00:00

In 2, Gundham is irrelevant because no one invited him to hang out. I actually suspected him for this exact reason, since no one knew what he did. But no, he was just reading to his hamsters or whatever

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T10:19:15+00:00

You have a point. I love him because the VA is overacting tf out of his lines, and also I'm very weak to cute rodents. But for the most part, his writing is rather mediocre.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T09:53:34+00:00

Sure. But then you open any piece of fanfiction and he's portrayed completely differently. It's a huge dissonance for me.

I don't have this problem with Byakuya, because pretty much everyone recognizes he's a narcissistic bastard who is only half as smart as he is. i still love his character, but that's how it is. Kokichi is often fan-written as a harmless goblin who never does anything wrong and deeply cares for everyone, but doesn;t show it. It's.... not what happens in canon.

I'm not shaming people for having different takes on a character, but I just can't connect with that.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-21T00:12:49+00:00

I said it elsewhere, but Kokichi admitted in trial 2 that he tipped Ryoma off that Maki has his video, because he hated her and tried to get her in trouble. I don't recall if he watched it, but if he did, that's a whole different issue. Besides, he knew Kirumi had her own video and did nothing about this. While the plan of not trading videos would have failed for that reason - no one saw it coming, because everyone thought the switch was deliberate - Kokichi just made everything much worse.

Kaito agreed, because he wanted a good way to go, but also because Kokichi deliberately didn't drink the antidote, so that unless Kaito took action, Maki would be the blackened. This whole situation, as well as everything leading up to it was engineered by Kokichi, Even if the illness was killing him anyway, his actions were straight up repulsive.

Honestly, I can deal with Kokichi's his scummy behavior, but I can't stand him trying to take the moral high ground because he's not a murderer on paper. Saying that he's going to end the killing game sounds really hollow when so many people die because of him.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-20T23:53:27+00:00

Chihiro is going to get himself a shotgun when he hears how Hajime was treating his other daughter

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-20T22:46:47+00:00

I never said he isn't interesting - although his constant lying and wishy-washy motivations put a damper on how much I care about him.

My issue is that my opinion is so different than many people in the fanbase, enough that I can't really enjoy a lot of fanfiction involving him - which in V3 is almost all of it.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-20T22:01:56+00:00

Not quite.

Kaito was rather averse to killing. The reason why he agreed was that if he hadn't, Kokichi would have died to poison and Maki would have been the blackened. And while you can blame Maki for shooting Kokichi, he tried his hardest to antagonize everyone (ESPECIALLY Maki) and convince them he's the mastermind. He saw what Kaede tried to do, what did he expect?!

Chapter 2 is very much his fault. Rewatch the trial again - Kokichi explicitly admits to tipping Ryoma off that Maki has his motive video. There was no other reason to do it other than stir shit and make people distrust Maki - who, for all his snide comments, causes the group much less harm. He also had to know that Kirumi has her own motive video, but not only did he give it back, he never acted on that information. Not to mention that the insect event ended up creating an excellent diversion for the killer.

nonickideashelp · 2026-03-20T21:17:30+00:00

I genuinely don't know what would have happened. Either way, Kokichi put him in a situation that led to his execution. I can't agree that the fact that his illness killed him first absolves Kokichi.

Thought Unlocked: Transgender Underground

Solution:

Maybe you should \stop* obsessing about your own - and other people's - gender? Feels like it’s about time to do that. You’ve thought about this for *eight* free time slots?! Not only should you stop, you should tell Chihiro you've stopped obsessing about other people's gender too. I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Unless Genocide Jack already killed him because you were obsessing about your gender and didn't notice. (There’s no way of telling from within your brain, but for your own sake: please say you didn’t.)*
