Danganronpa Rant #3

Danganronpa rant #3

Please note before reading this that I have not finished v3 yet

This analysis is about Tsumugi so if she is a discomfort for you please be aware of that! This analysis contains Killing Harmony spoilers as well. I’ll be analyzing? Comparing? Her to the song ‘You’re gonna go far kid’ by The Offspring ^^ With that out of the way, let's move onto the analysis!

I wanna start off by saying I only started to relate this song to Tsumugi because of the first part. I always envisioned this animation to that part with her switching cosplays and so that's where this all stems from! This also only really focuses on Tsumugi as the mastermind, not so much backstory (does she even have a backstory?/gen). The first lines “Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time, And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach. Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd, And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” are what I’m going to start with! The first part (show me how to lie…) is representing how Tsumugi was the mastermind of the Killing game and was lying to everyone, followed by ‘and turning against the one is an art that's hard to teach’ showcases how she had basically turned against everyone and that being the mastermind is something you can’t teach.

The next two lines really solidify this stanza as a representation of Tsumugi as the mastermind for me. “Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd,” is Tsumugi throwing everyone off of her trail or for an in-game example, Its Tsumugi framing Kaede as Rantaro's killer. “As you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet” is Tsumugi pretending to be another person trapped in the killing game!

Taking lines from the second stanza, “and no one even knew it was really only you” to me is the line that symbolizes the fact that no one knows Tsumugi is the mastermind, that she is the one behind everything and is only pretending to be a victim of the killing game. The final line of the pre-chorus represents Tsumugi right before she became the mastermind, “nice work you did, you’re gonna go far kid”. The ‘nice work you did’ section of the line being a reference to all the work and preparations she had to make for the Killing game and the second line being a reference to how she's going to do as the mastermind and how she’ll live up to Junko's legacy.

The chorus is really what showcases how the song represents Tsumugi as the mastermind though. The starting line of “with a thousand lies and a good disguise” is just begging to be a Tsumugi line, she's the ultimate cosplayer and the mastermind for crying out loud. The “Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say. See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives” is Tsumugi making her big debut in the final trial as the mastermind (I’m not 100% certain about the details of the last trial as I have yet to finish v3 but I have a vague idea of what happens).

Verse 2 is about how as the mastermind the whole killing game is focused on her. “Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight, So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me,” showcasing how she's the star of the killing game as the mastermind and “There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay, And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me” showcasing how as the mastermind she has the ability to control everything about the killing game.

Finally, ending this analysis with the outro to the song! “Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies, Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes, When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives”, it's a rather weak ending to this analysis but I think this line showcases how as the mastermind Tsumugi's existence in the game is just her falsifying her existence and making up lies about herself.

TLDR: You're gonna go far kid by The Offspring is a great song to represent Tsumugi as the mastermind of the killing game :)

Half body of a shirtless Buggy, his hair is loose and messy with an expression as if had just gotten out of bed. He has a ribbon belt tied around his hips, a bit of a belly, hairy chest and arms, his detached hands gesture theatrically to his face. In the background the sketch of a card frames him.

Next to him is a compilation of my previous Buggy drawing, all derpy with exaggerated expressions. A note says "I can draw him with some dignity too".

a good looking buggy to make up for the silly ones

Bnha rant #13

HELLO EVERYONE!! I'm back!! I descended into the madness that is ao3; But I have returned! The rant is going to be less structured and is going to present how I'll most likely be formatting my quirk rants in the future :) The old format may have been more professional and organized but it was so draining and made me lose all interest so now were doing it this way!! Todays subject? Ochaco Uraraka ^^

analysis starts here

For starters I wanna say, calling her quirk "Zero Gravity" is an injustice. I would say a much better name for it would be something similar to "gravity negation".

To give evidence for this: I'll start with the first time we see her use her quirk (when she saved Midoriya from falling on the first day). If her quirk really was "Zero Gravity" Midoriya would have just kept going up into space due to not having any gravitation poll. BUT THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENS! What does end up happening is that [Midoriya] just sorta floats there. Implying -however indirectly- that Urarakas' quirk isn't "Zero Gravity" but instead allows her to lessen the gravity of things (that could also be a pun for her having a bubbly personality and lighting the mood of a situation, therefore making the gravity or intensity of something lighter).

For more evidence lets look at the sports festival. During her fight with Bakugou she, for a short period of time, floats her jacket low to the ground to distract Bakugou. Same as before, if her quirk was actually "Zero Gravity" the jacket would have just kept going up.

Once again during the sports festival, when she used her quirk to float boulders above Bakugou to pelt him with. Its the exact same as before, If her quick was "Zero Gravity" they would have just kept going up.

NOW FOR A FUN LITTLE TIBIT

Seeing as her quirk isn't actually "Zero gravity" but is instead, her negating the gravity of objects, it's very possible she could increase the gravity of an object or person allowing her much more offensive options.

TLDR: Calling Urarakas' quirk "Zero gravity" is an injustice and it actually should be something along the lines of "Gravity Negation" due to lots of evidence

Monodeku villain au but it's monoma as a villain who's actually just a guy who happens to be friends with a bunch of bad people

Like monoma actually hasn't partaken in anything he is just nearby and hangs out with villains (yeah that's illegal whatevez)

But because midoriya is a hero student they run into each other a lot.

I see this au taking place like 2nd or 3rd year so midoriya has his hero license and can like do stuff without needed a teacher nearby

So he goes on patrol and monomas villain friends are like "oh my GOD there's hero boy you're in love with" and monoma freaks out and is like "I'm not IN LOVE with him...does my hair look okay?"

And one day midoriya is busting a drug deal of some of monomas friends and he's trying (and failing) to casually lean on the wall and is like "sup hot stuff...come here often?" And midoriya is like "what the fuck"

He then detains monoma but monoma is set free later cause like he really didn't do anythingggg

And midoriya sees monoma again and is like "dude??"

Midoriya goes to Twitter to vent about his strange reoccurring non-villain villain and it becomes a thing that people are SOOO supportive of monoma and his now very obvious flirting with midoriya

Because everytime they see each other monoma says some shitty pickup line or tries to hit on midoriya and midoriya goes home to tweet about it because he's oblivious

UNTILL ochaco is like "midoriya. Hes flirting" and midoriya is like "OH MY GOD."

And then he begins to flirt back but nothing really happens untilll monoma actually ends up carrying drugs for a friend and midoriya detains him again and is like "we have to stop meeting like this" and gives monoma a paper with his number a place and date on it

BAM they're dating

monodeku au where Midoriya is an art major, and Monoma is a science major. they go to the same college and HATE each other. The two of them have one class together though, analysis.

They go throughout the whole year sitting as far away from each other as possible. Anytime they pass each other in the hallways it gets super tense. So, obviously, their analysis teacher has taken note of their animosity.

To try and curb the mutual hatred they get pared for an assignment. Through this project, the two of them realize the other isn't actually that bad. but! They both refuse to admit this so, they continue to act as if they hate each other while trying to get closer.

It becomes increasingly obvious to anyone who pays attention that the two of them are into each other but will never admit it. So people begin placing bets.

"Monoma will crack and confess first!"

"No! Midoriya will! He's so impulsive!"

things of that sort. The whole au is basically intense pining. Do the two of them ever get together? I mean probably but I like to think they're stuck pining for each other for the rest of their lives.
