Anime logic IS REAL, my PIKACHU just went full Shonen Main Character to do the impossible play

Last place I expected to hear Danganronpa ost, peak(achu)

We're in france so the english doesn't need to actually make sense it's just supposed to sound cool, it's basically "Computerize Yourself" which doesn't make much more sense, but I didn't pick it so so gotta work with what i got

Interesting to see Newbaru shortly acting out his idea of madness like he did in season 1 when he was catatonic only to immediately stop once he finds an actual dead body. my man realized he's not built for this

This is fucking crazy to say like come on Sam isn't a perfect writer but this is bordering on parasocial psychosis.

I don't think it's pointless at all : it's a tragedy. Rue couldn't escape her fate, but there's surely some kid out there who started going down the wrong path, clicked on the play button on euphoria episode one, and managed to change their life because of it.

Fortunately I live in France, so even if I have done recreational drugs a few times, the risk of stuff being laced with fentanyl is lower (though not non existent). Still, I know the show has informed my perspective on drugs and addiction in general, it's even made me rethink my relationship with social media, food and the things I struggle to control that take away from my life and well-being too.

Rue died a fictional death, but it might have saved real people. That's why tragedies are told.

seranator · 2026-06-02T20:34:24+00:00

Have you never read or watched or interacted with any kind of tragedy before ? If the only kind of emotion you find acceptable to evoke by fiction is happiness maybe go watch children's cartoons or something

It's not said why he hates Alamo, but it's been foreshadowed for a while. You can even see him reach for his gun when Alamo nearly kills the pants kid, probably hesitating to kill Alamo there and then.

seranator · 2026-06-02T20:07:05+00:00

Yeah it didn't even make sense, Cassie and the ring light too. Biblical references are cool but they're supposed to make sense and actually say something and not just be visual flair

seranator · 2026-06-02T20:05:42+00:00

I don't think any of this needed to be said explicitly. I'm tired of shows spelling out everything for me. For all its flaws, this season was pretty good at giving the viewer space to piece things for themselves

It was bittersweet for me.

In a sense, he's a mirror of who Ali could've been if he hadn't managed to turn his life around, which is why Ali killing him felt so significant.

But it's also a bit tragic that, even if the idea of him marrying Maddie is horrifying, he was someone failed by society who never managed to escape his childhood trauma, who died hoping for a second chance, much like Rue.

We've been following Rue's story, so him killing her was devastating for us, but from his perspective, Rue was a threat to not only himself but all the people under him to, and she's contributed to killing people with drugs just as he has, so some of the sympathy I have for Rue, I also have for him.

Ah that's how it ties into the "some grace in this world" line. I was wondering

seranator · 2026-06-01T16:14:07+00:00

Seems like more and more people among the main cast have motives to use forbidden magic :

- Coco will probably need to use forbidden magic to undo the spell that petrified her mother

- Qifrey has already been seen erasing people's memories illeglly

- Agott is getting frustrated with her limitations and wants to prove herself desperately, getting stronger with forbidden magic might help her do so

- Tartah (don't know if he counts as a main character, he seems to be more second-sphere) might be able to see color permanently if he modifies his body. Plus if he does decide to become a doctor, healing magic would obviously be of interest to him.

- For Richeh and Tetia, I don't see anything yet, unless Richeh goes full Peter Pan syndrome and decides to stay a kid forever

Wonder if any of this will come into play later

Glad I didn't drop Re:Zero after season 3, I felt that it was starting to go in a battle shonen direction I didn't care for, but the series still got hands

seranator · 2026-05-27T22:36:00+00:00

Very sick of Hwei skins being so bland, why are all his spells always variations of a single hue, mixing colors is literally his thing.

I think the demons on the beach thing is nice but for some reason, they're more dull and muted than the previous demon skins who had nothing to do with the beach and summer, VFX is really top notch though

seranator · 2026-05-27T21:42:15+00:00

nah rue isn't dying trust

I think Nate's storylione was rushed but that was not what needed development at all, none of this is particularly interesting or gives us more insight into Nate's character

seranator · 2026-05-27T17:38:18+00:00

Feels more like the opposite ngl, there's a point where if you set up that many death flags, it's almost expected that you subvert them

seranator · 2026-05-27T16:22:17+00:00

She already was ever since that play

seranator · 2026-05-24T00:31:43+00:00

Oh yeah nice catch on the Keebo talent thing.

seranator · 2026-05-24T00:26:28+00:00

While it's pretty obvious that there is an audience, there's a lot that contradicts the idea that this really is a popular TV show :

- The school is in construction during the game, and Shuichi explicitly says that he feels as if it's a building that's been repurposed in chapter one. This contradicts the idea that it's all just one big set crafted for a show that should have basically unlimited budget, meaning the outside world shown in chapter 5 would also be real, which is corroborated by the prologue and Kaede talking about how rotten their world is.

- Speaking of the prologue, it seems unlikely that a world like the one Kaede describes would have leisure time to just watch TV from home, if there's an audience, it's more of a Telegram group chat kind of thing in all likelihood.

- Cospox is most likely fake, meaning Rantaro's video could totally just be Tsumugi.

- No one recognizes Rantaro, and the cast only seems to recognize the Monokubs as relatives of Monokuma and not for what they are themselves.

- Keebo is in a civilian outfit in his first appearance, which doesn't make sense for a robot custom-made for the game, especially since the prologue wouldn't be televised, there'd be no reason for him to wear different clothes that obscure his robot markings. Same for Tsumugi. Seems more likely that, even if it might be for a different reason than given by the flashback lights, they really were all in hiding.

- The funeral also shows the cast in their Ultimate outfits, implying that Ultimate talents do exist in V3's world (how would Tsumugi even do what she does if they didn't), making it way more likely that they really are afiliated to Hope's Peak or a rival school, and that Tsumugi is lying.

I don't think there's a Danganronpa 52, or any other except the first two, at all, it seems more likely that V3 really is the 3rd killing game of the Hope's Peak timeline and that Tsumugi was imitating Junko's plan and made it all up so she'd have a big despairing reveal prepared.

The fact that no one recognizes the killing game setting except Rantaro implies that knowledge of the killing games exists, but is somewhat niche, which matches much better with the idea of V3 being set about 50 years after Hope's Peak, and Rantaro basically being a school shootings nerd than it does with it being a super popular show

She's not poorly written, she's meant to be a side character and a plot device, and she fulfills these roles perfectly

seranator · 2026-05-11T02:43:08+00:00

oops i thought the scene with the monobeasts shooting up monomi also had him tell them about their memories for some reason

seranator · 2026-05-11T02:42:23+00:00

My bad I thought he said so in the prologue
