Mraagvpeine posted:I thought about this and I did think up an Ultimate talent, but I wouldn't want to have this talent, though I do think it'd make for a hilarious Danganronpa game. Basically, your character is the Ultimate Unlucky Student. It doesn't work like you think it would, not like Eugene from Hey Arnold running into accident after accident. Rather, this "unluck" causes any and every carefully laid plans to go awry; any blackened that tries to murder a person will accidentally murder someone else or even themselves. Ah, the inverse Smitty

Amidiri posted:Ultimate Murderer. It's risky, but I think it could pay off! The only serial killer that has actually ever killed anybody during the game in all three games is Kiyo. I mean, maybe Peko if you consider her a hit(wo)man. Toko and Maki just shrugged and stayed their hands, and both made it to the end.

BlazeEmblem posted:Tsumugi has a literal Aura Of Cosplay. I'm willing to believe that Miu and Angie could create stuff without someone from the outside bringing in the finished product. I mean, the guy wears glasses, and he was wearing them in the prologue too so it's unlikely they're just for show.

Quackles posted:I'm pretty sure Tsumugi was making 'cospox' up. If she can quick-change like this, she can quick-apply body paint too. Possible. It was critical to establish she couldn't impersonate someone else or she'd always be a prime suspect. OTOH, cospox is what revealed that Junko is a fictional character, and it seems like an especially strange thing to make up. If cospox is a lie and she can cosplay another student, then nothing is settled by her doing that. But if it's the truth and she can't cosplay another student without getting it, that refutes the claim that they are fictional.

"Haha, you guys are real life fictional characters" was obvious bullshit the moment she first said it. But it's also believable for a bunch of kids suffering from the mother of all gaslighting to buy it.

Sailor Dave posted:Thinking about it, the outside world seems kind of hosed. It's supposedly peaceful with no wars or anything, and yet everyone's happy to watch other people give up on their lives and put themselves into a killing game, completely wiping out their identity and basically letting their bodies be used as puppets for another unknowing, living personality to kill or be actually for real killed, or so it seems.

Skeleton Mom posted:the reveal that apparently no ultimate detective had ever done a murder is so wildly unrealistic, I'd be willing to dismiss this whole premise based on that alone. ACAB, after all. I would hazard a guess that none of the teenage Ultimate Detectives are actually trained police, far more likely they’re private detectives with a penchant for murder mysteries, same as the original and obviously best Ultimate Derective. They did try an Ultimate Police Officer in Dangan Ronpa 16: Emergency Service. But that was in part because 14-18 had a conscientious effort to have “real” jobs as the talents, as people were complaining about how esoteric some of the talents got post Dangan Ronpa 10. I think he ended up doing the double murder that game from memory.

Look, it took a while to convince me the series hadn't jumped the shark when they introduced the 'Ultimate High School Student' and made jokes about 'em being 'super duper'. But they, fortunately, hadn't.

Honestly, I stopped watching for a while after the Ultimate Web Developer made an ARG that everyone needed to solve in order to figure out who the blackened was in Danganronpa 41.

I think it was 37 that had my favorite murder plot, by the Ultimate LPer. And if he’d had the whole three and a half years necessary to complete it, I think he’d have won.

How long has this show been running in "real life"? How long does it take to produce one season? The actual killing game takes place over a couple weeks or so. And there's lots of prework to be done, building the sets, writing the plot, all that stuff. Not to mention finding new participants. Let's assume the stuff this world shares with ours (everything up to and including the DR3 anime) came out in the same timeline, everything after that is similar to this game, and that the remaining 49 seasons are on a very fast 4-seasons-a-year production pipeline. In that case, the series is 6 + 12.25 = 18.25 years old. And that's the lower end. It's probably much more than that. No wonder the villains keep going on about how it will never end. EDIT: So the real mastermind?

I think it's worth noting that early on they probably continued to be games. I imagine it wasn't until at least 11 that the idea of a real life show happened. I imagine it's a bit like the turnaround on Survivor, at most 1 or 2 a year.

Yeah, they've got to "write the seasons", recruit kids (which probably entails signing lengthy hosed up contracts with them and/or their parents about literally signing their lives away), and build their enormous "sets". Even with their seemingly amazing level of technology, I'd say a year between seasons is a bare minimum.

As an answer to the question: why would the outside world do this? How hosed up is that? Just remember that one of the favorite forms of entertainment for ancient Romans was watching gladiators beat each other to death. Our world has a long history of actual murder games.

Ones who watched the most recent season last year, and the season before that the year before, whose only excitement is this show. Tsumigi seems like the only confirmed super hardcore fan of the earliest stuff, which honestly could just be because her parents gave her their copies of the games etc.

If you have trouble imagining society bringing back blood sports after 2020 you clearly haven't been paying attention. And cheers for this thread, I binged it all while in bed, I've been sick and recently lost my home but seeing this thread react to anime teen murder hijinx has helped keep spirits high.
