Them

"She forgave my existence.. my beloved"

Related to that Protag!Nagito idea, I also have this amusing mental image of a Koma trio. In which main Nagito goes on silly multiversal adventures with him and a Fem Nagito ("Nagiko"). A hardcore survivalist that's been hoarding weapons and tech from across the multiverse to have an edge over any variant of the Despair Sisters she comes across. That contrasts with her "brothers" in giving zero shits for Hope, talent, or anything like that, and being shamelessly egotistical. Having only agreed to be the Ultimate Lucky Student in her verse to exploit the connections of Hope's Peak. Knowing full well that she's an actual genius, and disdaining the school putting "glorified hobbyists" on a pedestal.

I imagine main Nagito ironically getting along better with his "sister" than his "brother". The latter who he tends to childishly bicker with, partly out of envy of the "lucky bastard". Protag!Nagito too tends to be a bit childish around his Remnant counterpart, who he projects some of his self-loathing onto. But they're able to work things out, strangely in part with the help of Nagiko's blunt egotism. Like she kind of acts as a balancing measure against the mutual self-deprecation, being all like "Um no, I'm a 250 IQ genius, and the both of you are almost as intelligent as I am. Have some fucking pride, goddammit."

The dynamic between them is like that one meme pic of the three wolves, with the two on the left and right laughing their asses off, while the one in the middle looks annoyed. With whichever one of the trio is in the middle rotating depending on the occasion. Like main Nagito and Nagiko discovering some embarrassing situation Protag!Nagito got into during the Tragedy that he'd prefer not to talk about. Or Protag!Nagito and Nagiko learning how comically small main Nagito's actual body count was as a Remnant, not even getting past the single digits.

YEAHH!! KOMA TRIO IS ADORABLE, Fem Nagito is so cool!! OMG SHE GOT THEM WEAPONS?!?! GIRLBOSS HONESTLY!! 💘💘 OOOOOOOOO she slays so hard, hahahaha childish bickering I just love siblings, Lucky- HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S HILLARIOUS, OF COURSE HE PROJECTS HIS SELF HATRED, He now has a valid outlet for it lol!! YEAH TELL EM GIRL SHE'S GOT BRAINS AND BEAUTY AND SHE BALANCES THE TWO OUT AHHHHHH!! fem nagito my beloved<33

PFFT I'M DYING- I CAN JUST IMAGINE THEM AS TH MEME WITH THE WOLBESJAKAKAKAK!! This is so silly I LOVE IT!! Just a bunch of fluffy wolves make them white haired and greyish green eyes AND BOOM!! YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM HAHA- IT ROTATES TOO?!?! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE I NEED TWENTY CHAPTERS OF THIS SHEET!!<33 PFFT embarrising situation hehehehe what'd he do?!?! LOL AHAHAHAAHHA HE DON'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON, How is my man supposed to kill someone then?!?! Like all the other remnants looked so cool in the anime!! (Mikan with her syringes, Akane and Nidai with their godly strength, Izuru because HE ALSO OVER POWERED BRUH- that human experimentation made him undefeatable, and then Komaeda with.. taking care of children?!) He could probably kill 4 at most to be honest!! But this is so cool!! I love the AU so much- your ideas never disappoint my favourite anon!! 💕💕

girlfriends 🌸

Even more hilariously, probably like half of the people he's killed were in self-defense incidents. Nagiko's just like "Bruh, those are rookie numbers, LMAO!" Having not only killed more in her travels, including some Junko and Mukuro variants, but also having met what she considers "Real villainous Komaedas". In a weird condescending way she kind of alleviates his guilt about being a Remnant.

"Nagito, buddy. Come the fuck on, you're not an irredeemable monster. Want to know what a real evil version of you looks like? You should have seen the tyrannical CEO version of us I stumbled upon a few months back. Jesus Christ, now THAT guy was a piece of shit."

Unfortunately for main Nagito, she only starts laughing harder after a pause when Protag!Nagito does some mental counting. And then is like "Hang on a minute, I think I've actually killed like two or three more people than he has in the service of the Future Foundation. So...does that make me more hardcore than my own Remnant counterpart?". The main one gives a glare like he's about to deck his protag self in the face.

SELF DEFENSE INCIDENTS LOL, I my pathetic son<33 THEY ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS!! TELL EM NAGIKO 🗣️‼️ Oooo Junko and Mukuro varients!! This is just wonderful!! HIS GUILTTTT NOOO MY BEAUTIFUL SON SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL THAT WAYYYY-

HAHHAHA THAT WARMED MY HEART SO MUCH!! Yeah that tyrannical version is a real basta- HONESTY THAT IS JUST SO CUTE!! We stan Nagiko here and I wanna give my boy a hug!! 🩷🩷 YOOOOOOO THAT'S HILLARIOUS!! GET HIM REMNANT KOMAEDA AHAHHAHA- he was to pathetic to kill people and his literal PROTAGONIST COUNTERPART killed more than himmm!! NO WONDER HE'S SO ANGRY AAHAHAH, That's just crazy, I love this trio hehe :)

Some messy sketches of my favorite girl <3

Would you watch this in theaters?

( Edit : I fixed the whitewashed version, I'm genuinely sorry if my previous post offended anyone, it wasn't my intention at all, I didn't know she wasn't white before )

Also imagine the trio ending up in the grand meetup of the other Komas and their ship clubs. And because he's a protagonist in his verse, and has so much ship teasing going on with like a quarter of the cast, Protag!Nagito has doppelgangers on all sides insisting that he join their club.

Matsukoma Nagito: "You're not one of those Mikan-loving Komaedas, are you? There's only one truly worthwhile medical partner. Even if he's dead in your verse, Yasuke is irreplaceable."

Protag!Nagito: "Now wait just a minute! I'll have you know that Mikan is a lovely person, and a very dear-"

Komamiki Nagito: "ONE OF US! HE'S ONE OF US!"

Protag!Nagito: "Wait, wait! I didn't say that-"

Matsukoma Nagito: "You didn't say that you weren't either. Well?"

Protag!Nagito: "I...But..."

Roulette Nagito: "Hold the phone! We saw footage of that hotbaths scene with Gudham. You seemed to be quite enjoying yourself there."

Protag!Nagito: "I was just really happy to be included as one of the guys!"

Soumaeda Nagito: "Kaz was there too!"

Roulette Nagito: "...What if he's in a poly relationship with Gundham AND Kaz?"

Soumaeda Nagito: "Ooh! I don't think we've had that combo yet. Or maybe with Gundham, Kaz, AND Sonia. He seems to get along very well with her too."

Protag!Nagito: "What?! No, you've got it all...I mean..."

Komazumi Nagito: "Oh come on. We've seen you've had some cute bonding moments with Mahiru. No one can smile quite the way she does. And those freckles!"

Protag!Nagito: "Mahiru...is important to me. But this is all so very sudden!"

Komanami Nagito: "NO! Stay loyal to Chiaki to the very end! Even if it means waiting until the next life!"

Protag!Nagito: "Aargh! Leave me alone!"

All the while main Nagito and Nagiko are just laughing in the background eating popcorn. Just to be clear I treat main Nagito and Protag!Nagito's OTP as "Insert preferred ship here". It could be Komahina. Or it could be something as wild as a resurrected cyborg Yasuke for the Matsukoma diehards.

I do also have this one idea I've mused about for Nagiko's flings. Generally speaking she actually doesn't hold the many Kamukuras of the multiverse in high regard. Feeling that the novelty wears off fast, as once you've met one Kamukura, you've met most of them. Channeling Stillwell from the comic The Boys and thinking like "What have you thought of to do that the lowest speck of humanity couldn't, were they to be granted your level of power?". Being especially unimpressed by the ones that try to assuage their boredom by joining Junko or doing something else she considers equally dull and unproductive.

But there are exceptions to that. Like one Natsumizuru that she took a fondness to. Who had a bit more of a spark in her than a lot of other Kamukuras did, and channeled her talents in more productive ways to stave off boredom. I have this one mental image of Nagiko trolling main Fuyuhiko by not-so-subtly implying she had a thing going on with an alternate superhuman version of his sister. Being all like "Man she was rough, if I didn't have a reinforced skeleton that girl would have demolished my spine."

Komas unite for real HAHAHA, EXACTLY like, the protagonist always gets the best ships in this franchise!! I can't even pick a favorite Saihara ship- I have like 4 favorites?!?!

Nahh Koma's not gonna defend her- I WILL DEFEND HER!! WHADDYA SAY TO MIKAN PUNK?! hehe, Go Yasuke lol, YEAH TELL EM PROTAG- ONE OF US AHZDVA IM DYING HAHAHAHA THIS IS HILARIOUS!! Y'all calm down maybe he's a Matsukomamiki something haha!! YOOOO HE'S EXPOSED 💀💀💀💀 GET EM GUYSSSS‼️🗣️ AND KAZUICHI WAS THERE TOO!?!? EXPLAIN YOURSELF BWAHAHAGA

Nagitos of all kinds pop up in the gathering. Nagitos from non-Despair verses, AUs, gender-flipped Nagitos, even a small handful of Nagizurus/Kamukura Nagitos. Like the Komahina club for example will have some FemNagitos that are in yuri Komahina relationships (or FemNagito x Hajime, Nagito x FemHajime, or even non-binary Komahina).

And of course the Nagitos from verses with a version of the Tragedy compare notes with those from non-Despair verses. The Komaegi Nagitos from non-Despair verses feel so vindicated learning from their counterparts that their boyfriend became the Ultimate Hope in other universes, being like "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL!". The Komaegi Nagitos and Matsukoma Nagitos in general are a wee bit braggadocious about having won the love of Makoto and Yasuke. And take pride in having some exclusivity.

Though things get really funny when they learn how things went in class swap verses (where Chiaki, Hajime, or even Nagito himself became the THH scenario's protagonist). And are shown footage of Despair Makoto. They all start fanning themselves and going "Oh my!" because of just how very...captivating he is. Especially if there's some foe yay going on between Despair Makoto and Protagonist Nagito.

Most of the clubs have their own variant of "Octagon!". Like with those prior three, the Kuzukoma Nagitos giggle at the thought of Fuyuhiko being grumpy and shouting "Dumbass!". The Komazumi Nagitos get all dreamy at the idea of Mahiru with her hands on her hips and going "Geez!". And the Twokoma Nagitos are like "Does your Imposter wag their finger and say 'Nagito, no' to you too?", to which they're like "YES, LMAO!!"

The Komahinanatsusatozumi Nagito we talked about earlier is like a weird celebrity among them. Most polyship Nagitos will usually only be in a relationship with two people. Some Komahinanami Nagito will see him brandishing his Komahina, Komazumi, Natsukoma, and Komasato membership cards and be all...

"Gee Nagito, how come you get to have four relationships?"

"Six. Getting the paperwork for my Matsukoma and Kuzukoma memberships sorted out."

"Does the Natsumi in your universe know about you and her brother?"

"Yeah, she doesn't mind. After seeing so many universes with a Tragedy I'm only more certain now than ever that what we have is wonderful."

"Well, at least I know you'll never get to experience the joy of being a Komanami Nagito."

"Actually our verse's Chiaki and her girlfriend Mikan are thinking of joining our polycule. Sato invited Mikan."

"...Dammit."

OMG DESPAIR FREE VERSES, AJSBSJSJN Gender flipped Nagito!!!! That's so cool AHHHH YURI KMHN MY BELOVED, ooooo enby kmhn I need more of themmm BRUH THIS IS SO COOL, "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL" GAHHH MY HEART 💞💞 This is so amazing I don't know what to say!! Hahahha braggy Maeda, he would do that ehee OMG HIM AS THE PROTAG OOOOO THAT'S SOMETHINH WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED BUT DESERVE, hahahah how very captivating, just say you love him you dang poet hehe, there would beee!!

Haahhahah kzkm's one is accurate, MAHIRU WOULD, I CAN IMAGINE THEM DOING THAT LOL IMPOSTER WE LOVE YOU, well wow Nagito you went from a hopless romantic to having 4 people in a loving poly, LOOK AT YOU GOO!!<33 Six!! Tell him my guy, YEP Natsumi wouldn't mind!! Maybe they'd fight over him sometimes because aggressive blondes haha but it would be chill with her, YEAH NANAMIKI RIGHTS!!!! THEY GONNA BE THE BEST POLY EVER AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD OR SOMETHING I DUNNO I'M JUST HAPPY TO SEE HIM BE LOVED!! 💕💕 hahahah the remark though-

I imagined this little backstory for her where her first encounter with an alternate doppelganger was meeting a Liquid Snake-esque version of Nagito. One who as a child was the beta model for the Kamukura project in his verse, being enhanced with a prototype of the treatment that would eventually create Izuru. An Izuru v.0.5 you could say. Only he ends up rebelling, not content to just be a footnote for someone else. And he actually succeeds in killing his verse's version of Izuru after they're created (might not even have been a Hajime). Before then going on to form a little mercenary band of fellow science experiments across the multiverse.

He develops something of a fondness for his "little sister". Accepting her request to train and mold her. Admiring her determination in spite of her illnesses. Not every Nagito variant will end up with the dementia + lymphoma combo, but it's quite common for many of them to have at least some kind of disease. Hers perhaps might be something connected to her heart? Or her bones? Whatever the case though, there is a secondary reason related to that why she joins him. She wants access to the same physical enhancements the rest of his group have to neutralize or at least weaken her illness. The technology that created Kamukura having been democratized and more widespread across the multiverse.

He indulges this request. On the condition that she complete one last test, and take out the two individuals she'd been training to kill back in her home verse. Honestly he finds the whole vendetta a little childish, being like "Oh, those guys", remembering a long forgotten episode of his life where he killed his verse's Despair Sisters. Which was just another job for him. But he plays along. And ramps up the difficulty by warning the sisters in advance. Naturally of course Nagiko is pissed after having completed the job, as she lies on an infirmary bed. With her "brother" channeling Death in Terry Pratchett's 'The Hogfather'.

"You warned them I was coming."

"Well obviously. It was a test. It was meant to be educational."

"I lost my fucking right leg! I had to blow it off with a shotgun after they caught it in a trap!"

"And that was an important lesson."

In the end though she still gets rewarded for her accomplishment with the same enhancements to her body as the other members of the group. Not gaining all the talents + combat knowledge of a Kamukura, but now having their inhuman strength, speed, and stamina. As well as alleviating her illnesses somewhat. But it all ends on a rather bittersweet note. With Nagiko slowly realizing that despite her affection for her mentor "big brother", this is not a healthy sibling relationship at all. It occurs to her that she's starting to mirror Mukuro somewhat. And the assassination mission she went on ended up alienating her from her verse's Chiaki and the others. Eventually she decides to call it quits, and flees the group to strike out on her own.

Oooo backstories!! LIQUID SNAKE?!?! I'M SORRY I CAN'T TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY WITHOUT CRACKING UPAHAHAHHAHA JUST THE MENTAL IMAGE- the snake stole Tsumugi's cosplay wig or some sheet, OH NEVERMIND THIS GOT DARK REAL QUICK- part of the Kamukura project?!?! Ohh he a rebell!!!! Good for him!! Go snake guy- AHHHH THEY SIBLINGS I LOVE SIBLING BONDSS!!

Yep I can't argue with that, he seems really ill I can imagine the other variants having some sort of illness even if it's not the same one, maybe a branch or something completely different.. oh a heart or bone illness?!?! NAGIKO NUU- OHHH THAT MAKES SENSEEE!! SHE DESERVES THE WORLD OKAY!!

Oh no she have to kill in turn- actually this is the apocalypse of course people gonna die, WHAT?! HE TELLS THEM IN ADVANCE 💀💀 No offense to him but Nagiko get them both!! Him and the Despair sisters honestly!! Yeah no wonder she's mad!! CONFRONT HIM GIRL!! Oh NO HER RIGHT LEGG!! AHHHH the parallels though!!!! Maybe she'd get a robotic leg or something ehe

YASS SHE GOT AN UPGRADE!! LESSGOO SHE got them strength!! She got them stamina!! Atleast it somewhat helps her illness even if it's not a complete cure- oh no.. THAT'S SO SADDDD AGHHH, And now she calls it quits and is on her own WHY YOU GOTTA HURT ME LIKE THAT ANON?!?! actually she does meet up with the other two Nagitos so all is well am I right<33 💝💝

They were both iconic 📖✂️
