Ryoma Kaito Kaede Miu Kirumi Gonta Maki Himiko Shuichi Tenko K1-B0 Kokichi Rantaro Angie Korekiyo Tsumugi It kinda drops off after the first 5; Gonta's sweet but he has very little complexity, and it's hard to get past Maki actively working to kill everyone in Chapter 5 and never properly showing remorse for it, even though I do like her development. Himiko's fantastic after Chapter 3 but her FTEs are kinda eh. Miu would beat Kaede if it wasn't for her FTEs. The middle characters are kinda whatever, like it's hard for me to actively care about Keebo and Rantaro. Kokichi and Tsumugi are kinda fascinating, since they're kinda opposite ends for me. Kokichi's VAing is excellent and his narrative role is great, but I'm not big on the actual character and 'it's a lie!' would grate on me after a while. Tsumugi I'm plainly not a fan of and I'm kinda ehh on her VAing (hers and Kaito's were the only ones I didn't immediately take to), but there's a lot of potential on her character... just none of it we'd ever get to see in-game.

  It's a bit odd to see Kaede as someone Shuichi can interact with, isn't it?   .png) I think this whole reality dating show is throwing me off. But of course, I definitely prefer this over killing each other...    I can't remember if I've actually tried this before. .png) I really like these kinds of things. Do you enjoy them too, Shuichi? It would make me a bit happier to know we like the same things..png) Oh, god... I think I said something embarrassing just now. .png) I kind of follow the trends? I don't know anything about classical.Where did Shuichi's hat go this time?  I guess that's true. Normal high school boys don't listen to classical music... .png) Yeah. He's pretty famous, so I've definitely heard of him..png) Chopin composed many solos, and was even referred to as The Poet of the Piano. That title might mean nothing to you at first, but you'll get it once you listen to his works. He always performed at concerts. .png) Of course! I personally enjoy Prelude, Op. 28, No. 15, or also [sic] known as the Raindrop prelude. Oh, yeah. Speaking of Chopin... I played the three Waltzes, Op. 34 in front of a king before. .png) Yeah, some European king. He had to keep his identity a secret. .png) He saw my performance at an international competition on the news, so he came to Japan..png) Wow....png) But he looked like your average Joe. Nothing like a king out of a fairytale. I don't think a king would like to be called an "average Joe." "It is as if a god dwells within your fingers!" He knelt down when he said that! I was speechless!.png) I...don't know how to respond to that. .png) Yeah, sorta. A representative of Juilliard, famous pianists... I was really nervous back then. Like, what were they gonna tell me after? But in the end, I performed my usual way and hoped they enjoyed it. Hahahaha! No way, Shuichi! I'm an ordinary high school girl who just happens to be a Piano Freak..png) I don't think such important people would come to see an ordinary pianist. One day, you're gonna get famous people requesting you to solve their cases. Ah, no, probably not...   Nobody ever moves from their spot for the duration of DST. It's a bit uncanny, but I appreciate nothing getting in the way of me milking more scenes.  .png) If that's the case, then I'll teach you. Oh...you don't need to feel bad or anything, okay? When I teach, I notice my own bad habits on the piano... I still have a lot to learn.    Headphones can get pretty expensive. Really hoping the pair I got with my stimulus money lasts me at least five more years, if not ten. Whoa! Can I really have this!? Thanks, I'm so happy right now! You really know what makes me smile, Shuichi. But, I guess *you* would know what I like!  Oops, sorry! I just got super excited! What is it? A piano duet? Oh, right. You don't know yet. You can do that? Of course, since a piano has 88 keys!.png) Now that she mentions it, I suppose pianos are pretty wide... I want you to know more about the piano! That's why a duet with you would be perfect. .png) Huh, what's wrong? Is there a problem?.png) I-It's just... It would be such an honor to perform with you, I don't know... Whatever! I'm just a normal high school girl! .png) Everyone's like that in the beginning! You gotta try new things anyway!  Okay, let's start practicing. Sit in front of the piano, Shuichi. O-Okay... Now, put your fingers on the keys..png) Like this...? Ah...like this? Bend them a little more. Pretend you have an egg in your hand. I'm gonna touch your hands, okay? So you know how to play in the correct form. She's so close... Touching me... Soft... Warm....png) What am I thinking about!? I hope she hasn't noticed... Okay, just like that. Make sure only your fingertips touch the keys. I-I'm sorry! I'll do it right this time! Well, you're pretty motivated now. I'm happy to see you so interested..png) Good...she doesn't think I'm weird. Hehe, you look so relieved all of a sudden. It's not like I'm gonna scold you or anything..png) O-Okay....png) Ah, aren't you a little...too close?.png) Am I? But if I'm not close to you, then I can't guide you. Th-The hands are fine... But, ah... Your face...and other things....png) Oh my god! I am super close to you! S-Sorry! Hahaha... I was so focused... That's why people call me Piano Freak... It's just really hard... Really? I was able to do this right away. It's so hard giving lessons to someone else. Maybe I'm just a horrible teacher... But this will be a good experience. I'm learning from you, Shuichi. R-Really? Kaede was so close to me the whole time, I had trouble focusing... But now I know why they called her the Piano Freak.  You think so? No, I'm not that good... you're just a great teacher, Kaede! Well, the great Kaede Akamatsu is saying you can, so be more confident! ...Kidding about the great part. Haha, yeah, thanks. I feel a bit more confident now. There are a bunch of people who have taught themselves and went a long way. So you'll be fine, Shuichi! Since I'll be here to teach you everything. She'll be here...   I guess I should explain this phase of DST while I'm here.  .png) You can buy casino coins from me! It'll cost ya a bunch of Monocoins, though!This takes you to the exchange menu.  .png) I thought I had 1000 coins, but now I'm down to zero...! I'll just have to sell Monodam at a pawn shop...! .png) ...RI-CO-LAAAA. .png) If you don't know which prize to get with your coins, I recommend the Monomergen—C! It'll give you one additional block of Free Time to use during the day!.png) ...Why does it do that? I dunno. It's beyond me... .png) If you earn coins at the casino, you can exchange them for prizes! You can also get Date Tickets by earning coins here, too! Each night, you will get the chance to play one of the games on the right...  ...or about ten spins of the slot machine, not including bonus games.  Not to worry, though. The dating sim items are dirt cheap and easy to stockpile.  This won't be necessary if you prepare, as I do.  There's also maybe two opening lines each student gives you in this mode. I won't be documenting those as much as I did in the main game.   Now all we need is a smashed violin and we'll be in business. Shuichi...I'm just so ecstatic! I thought I had been the only one looking at you, but I guess you've noticed me, too. I think that, because...you gave me such a pretty gift. Y—Yeah... Then, let's start! I feel like I'm getting a lot better! Definitely! I honestly think you have the talent to play the piano, Shuichi. If you practice more, you might become the new Ultimate Pianist! Ah, I don't know about *that*... And besides, this is just practice. We should focus on getting out of here together. I wanna escape already so I can get to know the other students. Together...  .png) This might...sound weird, but... What's the matter? You can tell me. Um, but if it's something hard to answer, then that might be a problem..png) How can you be so optimistic? You're always talking about cooperating, and working together, and not giving up... I'm just amazed every time you talk like that. Well, no, I suppose it's easy to *talk* like that... But I know that you truly feel that way inside. .png) ... Kaede...looks troubled. I'm sorry, I guess it was weird. I was just thinking about how I could explain it to you. Since my feelings come from actual expefience. No, not that. There's no way I could've been in this kind of situation in the past. Well, in my experience, music has always reached other people's hearts. Music...? I told you this before... Everyone's faces light up from my performances. I can smile with strangers who I had just met a minute ago. Even if we don't speak the same language, we can bond anyway through music. I think it's because we can see other people's true personalities through music. Yeah...I suppose that's true, Kaede. I wanna see more smiles from people, so... I plan to do all sorts of things. Classical music is my main focus, but I wanna do a performance with pop music. Wouldn't it be super fun arranging music for famous games or movies? I can compose the songs however I like and then hold a concert! That would be cool. Kaede... Really? You think so? Absolutely. And I'd like to come to that concert. I'll definitely invite you! I'll send you the first ticket! I—I just told you my dream... Hahaha...that's embarrassing... I can't believe you got me to blurt out my secret, Shuichi! I wasn't prying or anything... But I'm glad she told me.     Whoa! Can I really have this!? Thanks, I'm so happy right now! You really know what makes me smile, Shuichi. But, I guess *you* would know what I like! Then, let's start. Ah, done already? Yeah, well... Whenever we see each other, we play the piano together, right? It feels like I'm forcing you to do this... No way! I'm having lots of fun! R-Really? Okay! Then, let's do it again! Since I told you my secret, you're gonna have to tell me yours! Because I've decided! We're talking about you today! We are...? Kaede's so pushy today... Well, if you want me to... But what should I talk about? Hobbies? Um... Huh!? You have to *think* about your hobbies!? W-Well... I remember helping out with the detective business... Mmhm, I see. Detective work is your hobby... .png) From my backpack. Ah, I see... So your hobby is being a detective... Then, we should enjoy being that today. What?  Being interrogated might be good experience! It'll be useful next time you're in action! Really!? Yup! So now, next question! What's your favorite food? Meat? Veggies? Fish? Juicy meat... Hmm, that's a pretty typical boy answer. Can you eat a giant steak in one sitting? Ah, well....png) Althooough, you don't look like you can eat a lot of meat... But I shouldn'tjudge... Healthy vegetables....png) Vegetables? Are you worried about your calorie intake? A little bit... I'm not athletic, I gain weight easily... Hmmm, I see... So you're that type... Fresh fish... Fish, huh? I prefer fish over meat, tool We're so alike! Y-Yeah... Then, I guess I shouldn't worry about our compatibility... Next question! What's your favorite place? That's a pretty broad question, I don't know if I can answer that. Oh, right. Ummm...how about... The movies, I suppose. Movies, huh? I see... By the way, what's your favorite genre? W-Well, I'll watch anything, but... I can never get into love stories..png) O-Oh, I see... Well, it's a bit too fast to watch a romance movie with just two people anyway! The amusement park, I suppose. Amusement park, huh? You're pretty outgoing. Ah, I get that a lot. But being a detective is mostly about gathering information, so... Mmhm. I see. Whatever they pick, I suppose. Hmmm...that's gonna be a problem... Huh? Why? Nothing! It just means you're less likely to make a move, right? What are you gonna use those notes for? That's... ...Yes? A secret! Don't worry, it won't be used for anything bad! I won't show these notes to anyone else! Detective Kaede Akamatsu is just gettin' started! Tell me everything ya know, punk!     This item is surprisingly popular with almost everyone. Oh! I was just thinking about getting one of these! I can't believe you already know what I like, even though we just met... Well, that's a detective for ya! Yeah, let's do it! They are, of course, playing Clair de Lune. .png) When I was first learning, I didn't quite get it. But now...it feels nice. I played the low notes while Kaede played the high. Together, we played a melody. Of course, my playing didn't compare, but Kaede carried me. Perhaps that's what gave it a magical sense of unity. At first, I was so focused on Kaede sitting next to me that I couldn't focus... But as we kept playing, it got easier. It felt perfectly natural. It's like Kaede and I...have become one.......... ...... ...  .png) After we finished playing, we remained sitting beside one another, basking in it. You're amazing, Shuichi. I can't believe you've improved this much in such little time. N-No, I'm not... No, that isn't quite what I want to say. The beauty of playing the piano? What do you mean? It's so fun to play. I understand why you get entranced by it. Right? Even though it's just us here right now... Someone might hear and it'll make them smile! That's when you know it's worth it! .png) I know that this is an...abnormal situation... But I'm still so glad that I met you. "I had a great teacher who showed me the beauty of playing the piano." S-Shuichi... I can't believe you said something so embarrassing. B-But... I'm...glad I met you. While I was teaching you, I was reminded of how great pianos are... And I started to realize myself what I can do on the piano. Yeah...  Of course, where else? W-Well, it's just that... I mean, going to your house is... I wanted us to perform our duet practice on my favorite piano, so you could hear it! Ah, that's what you meant! I'm sorry, I misunderstood. But...I also wanna talk to you, and watch TV with you... You know how I said I wanted to become closer to you when we got out of here? And...if it's you...I feel like we could get to know each other a lot more... Does that...mean...?.png) That's why...   ...Pft!.png) Haha... Hahahahaha! Which is why we're going to escape...so we can hopefully grow together. Yeah, you’re right. I think that's because we have such a strong bond between us. But when we get out of here... I might want to take this even further... You've learned a new skill, Piano Duet.  Kaede and Rantaro's skills are in an awkward position because you have to beat the game first to access them. This one might be useful if you had to start on a lower difficulty and want to go back and do it right, but even then, the button-mashing in Debate Scrums isn't exactly the MGS1 torture scene.

A very natural reaction to wholesome Kaede events, but it kinda loses something when to the left of it is whatever the hell is going on in your profile pane =I

I do enjoy that, with these scenes only happening in this post-game mode, they can just go no-holds-barred on Kaede and Shuichi crushing on each other. It's very cute.

Knowing how they were, especially Kaede, before they were basically brainwashed makes these scenes a lot more tragic.

    .png) Well, if you're gonna spend time with someone, it's better if it's someone you get along with. I'm glad. I feel the same way.    .png) You've got something pretty interesting there. Where did you find it?.png) Oh, you're giving it to me? A present?.png) That's so sweet. You're being so nice to a guy that doesn't even know his own talent... .png) Why were we brought here?.png) I'm...not sure. They told us this was a school, but I have my doubts. Even if this *was* a school, it makes no sense to have a bear robot for a headmaster. That is true....png) Ultimate Robot...I never could have seen that coming. Guess anything goes. Maybe my talent is something really obscure too. .png) Yeah, it's a real pain....png) Everyone else remembers their talent, but why can't you remember yours?.png) Maybe...I don't want to remember. Maybe I was brought here unwillingly. Maybe it was a mistake and I don't really have a talent. I mean, that's not impossible, right? We're similar. I'm called the Ultimate Detective just because I happened to solve a case... Now that I think about it... but you do remember everything from before you came here, right?.png) Yeah, I remember that stuff. I wouldn't have been able to introduce myself otherwise. Well then, tell me everything that you remember. There may be a hint in there. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I guess I'm more shaken up than I thought..png) Uh, where to begin... If I started at my childhood, this will take forever. How about your favorite things? Perhaps your hobbies? People become Ultimates by devoting themselves to their hobbies and honing their skills. Traveling? Traveling is my hobby. Actually, I travel around the world by boat..png) On a boat! Whoa, that's amazing! Haha, no no, I'm not the amazing one, my dad is. I just freeload on his boat. I'm...how do I put it...? I sorta take my parents' boat and do whatever I want..png) Oh man, I sound like a spoiled brat, don't I? No, not at all... I'm just taken aback. I've never met a "rich kid" before... Globetrotting like that, you make a lot of connections, y'know? Maybe you're something like the Ultimate Rich Kid or Ultimate Traveler. As far as rich kids go, there are plenty of people out there who are richer. And "traveler"... I dunno, that sounds a bit too romantic for me..png) Ultimate Useless Older Brother sounds a lot more up my alley. "Useless Older Brother"? What do you mean? You have siblings, but— But... Really, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have even mentioned it. Forget it. ...  With the conversation stalled, I returned to my room.  Haha, no, I guess that couldn't be it... Maybe you're here to ask me out... I wonder when I'm going to remember what my talent is... At random times, I feel like I'm just about to remember... Like now, for instance.    Rantaro looks like the kind of guy who can never have enough piercings. Did you get me a present? Aw, you were thinking about me... I guess you thought I'd like this kind of thing, based on how I dress. Haha, I love it. Thank you. Is something bothering you? We can talk about it if you want. I'm just...worried, Rantaro. Worried? What about? .png) ... I told you...to forget about that. I'm sorry, but I can't. What did you mean by that? Rantaro? ...Who cares about that? Hey, do you want to talk about my talent? I still can't remember what it is! I can tell you more about my hobbies, if you'd like to hear. ...There's that smile again. It's a warning. He doesn't want me to push. Y-Yeah, of course... You said traveling was your hobby, right? Yeah. Before I was brought here, I was traveling in Northern Europe. Northern Europe? I imagine it's something like a fairy tale. Haha, yeah... Although, the people... They seem friendly, but when you get down to it, they're pretty aloof. If the environment is harsh, perhaps the culture developed that way as well..png) Yeah, something like that. Like there was one time I was trying to get some information... I was suspected of being an informant or something. Almost got taken out. .png) But South America? That's where you have to watch out. There are a lot of shady areas. But it's not all bad. You can get whatever you want, if you're willing to take some risks. Take some risks...? Oh, don't ask. If I told you, your life would be in danger. Welp, that's just how things played out. Just how it played out, huh? Rantaro...I feel like you and I have a very different definition of "travel." I think about relaxing and touring scenic locations... Hey, I go sightseeing too. I travel to see *everything*, y'know? I suppose that includes all of that "danger" you mentioned earlier... What's it? Your Ultimate talent! You disguise yourself as a high school student traveling around the world... ...A spy, huh? Hm, no, I don't think so... I mean, if I were a spy, I wouldn't have told you my identity. Or gotten caught like this. Besides, I couldn't be anything cool like that, look at me. I'm just a regular guy. Rantaro is always smiling. It's a gentle, friendly smile. Something wrong? No, it's nothing. But right now, I feel like that smile is a wall...     But this looks really valuable. Are you sure you want me to have it? I'll get you something special one day, too. I have some pretty rare things myself. That's not just my detective's intuition talking. If he were just traveling the world, he wouldn't get into so many dangerous situations. Perhaps it's none of my business, but... Shuichi? Something wrong? I see... Well, thank you for showing me so much concern. But honestly, I just have no idea. What kind of Ultimate could I be, after all of this? Maybe I don't have a talent at all. Maybe I'm here by mistake. Ha, I guess if I was mistaken for someone else, I'd be the Ultimate Unlucky Student. That's not a very nice talent to have... Hahaha, yeah. I think I'd pass on that. Rantaro? What? Oh, sorry. I just started thinking about why I'm even here...... .png) I...can't stay here, Shuichi. I don't have time for this. It's the same for all of us..png) ...Yeah, you're right about that. No one has the time to be stuck in a place like this. This might be some kind of experiment. You mean, this place is like a research institute? It could be. It looks like a school, but perhaps it's a lab designed to look that way. So, a facility designed to study Ultimate talents... One that was taken over by Monokuma. Yeah, that seems plausible. Hey, you really are the Ultimate Detective! I could use intuition like yours. It certainly doesn't seem like a school. Yeah, but...we've known that for a while. Come on, Ultimate Detective, I'm sure there's more to it than that. I thought you'd have an idea by now....png) Ah, s-sorry....png) Nah, no need to apologize. Can't exactly make deductions without more information. It's like a game. A game... Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. I remember this one game where you have to escape a room by solving puzzles. I didn't win. It was too hard. I gave up. Hey, when I get out of here, maybe I'll use this experience and try again. I can't... I can't afford to just be stuck in here... By any means necessary, I would do anything... I need to get out of here. Or else l'll...never reach... ... .png) May I ask...what it is? ...Do you have any siblings, Shuichi? Huh? Siblings? No, I'm an only child... I see. Then you wouldn't understand. Why is he so standoffish? And why did he bring up siblings...? Ah, well, regardless...you don't have to face this alone. We can do it together. ...     Can you guess why Rantaro needs this? But this looks really valuable. Are you sure you want me to have it? I'll get you something special one day, too. I have some pretty rare things myself. I couldn't get Rantaro's words out of my head. I needed to talk to him, but... ...Can I help you? I'm just checking in... Then I'd rather be left alone. B-But. isn't something troubling you, Rantaro? ...I'm fine. I don‘t want people worrying about me. I couldn‘t leave you alone. ...What? Haha...you can't be serious. Come on, Shuichi. save that line for the ladies, huh? l...don't know how to respond to that, coming from a guy... Ah, s-sorry... Look, I'm glad that you‘re thinking about me, but really, I'd like to be alone. But...I don't want you to be all alone, Rantaro. I want to help you. Help? What for? What for? I just want to help you, Rantaro... Do I really need a reason? Guess you don't really have a reason. In that case. I'd like to be alone. please. ... ... ...*sigh*, alright, alright. You win. Maybe that's why I told you so many things without thinking... You mean the Ultimate Useless Older Brother thing? ...Yeah, exactly. .png) Ah, so you have a little sister. But you've been trapped here. There's nothing you can do about that. No, it isn't that. This is from before I ever came here... From before? Back then, my little sister and I got along really well... We were together all the time. Well... Well not really, uh... What I mean is, she would always follow me around, and I took care of her, y'know? It was my first time on a boat. I was bouncing off the walls I was so excited. When we docked, I wanted to go on an adventure...so I snuck off the boat. But I didn't notice. I didn't see her. I was so busy exploring, y'know? My sister...got separated from me somehow, and...she never... She never came back. My parents told me it wasn't my fault, but a big brother is supposed to protect his sister. But I couldn't do that... I couldn't... I'm a failure as a big brother... Rantaro... Everyone tells me that it's impossible, that it's too late now... But until I see her with my own eyes, I will never stop searching for her. No matter how long it takes, I'm going to find her. She's waiting for me. I'm not going to stop until I find her, Shuichi. Never.  You're still searching, after all these years. You're the Ultimate Big Brother. ... That would really be something...if it were true......    Hey, it's alright with me if you don't wanna talk about anything in particular. I'm just happy that you wanted to spend time with me. That's sweet. I would be upset if you only came to me when you wanted something.    You've got something pretty interesting there. Where did you find it? Oh, you're giving it to me? A present? That's so sweet. You're being so nice to a guy that doesn't even know his own talent... Well, actually, it's more like I have a favor to ask. A big favor. A big favor? That makes me kind of nervous... No, it's okay, it's nothing bad! I only ask because I trust you, Shuichi. You trust me? That I'm not a bad brother, that I'm the Ultimate Big Brother... Honestly...it really surprised me. I thought that if I told you about my sister, you would tell me to give up too. That's what anyone would say, right? I was really surprised by that, but also...really, really happy. So, thank you. There's no need to thank me, Rantaro, I was just being honest. Keeping all this stuff bottled up inside is just too stressful, y'know? ...Anyway, I guess I have a sister complex or something, huh? Maybe my talent is Ultimate Sister Complex.We've already got one of those, remember?  Hahaha, yeah, you're right! Rantaro dazzled me with his smile. This wasn't his usual smile, the one he puts on to separate himself from others. This was a genuine smile. In that way... I saw Rantaro smile for the first time. Detectives investigate runaways and missing people, right? Yes, we do... Ah, I see! Haha, I knew you'd know what I was thinking! You want me to find your little sister... I feel like you're exactly what I need. We can find her, Shuichi. I'll do my best. Yes! That‘s awesome! Thank you so much. I'm counting on you! B-But. I'm still an apprentice. you shouldn‘t rely on me too much... Haha, come on, Shuichi. you're makin' me nervous! It‘s alright. Shuichi. I promise. I'm not relying on you *too“ much. We're a team. We can help each other. right? If we stick together, we can do anything! Are you sure? I'm not a real detective... You don't sound very confident... ...I'm still an apprentice. ...So? That just means we're equal. Equal? I'm an Ultimate Big Brother! So let's go, two apprentices, teaming up! Between the two of us. we'd add up to one pretty dependable person. right? Ah...I suppose that's true. Okay. Ah, the travel expenses... I can't even imagine how much it would cost to travel around the world... Oh, that's what you're worried about? Don't worry about that. Shuichi! If anything, consider it like...your reward. Ah, okay! That would be plenty. Please, stay by my side...untiI the day I become a real Ultimate Big Brother. Of course I will, Rantaro. I look forward to it.  Two? Oh! You must have misunderstood. I have *twelve* sisters. Yeah. That story I told you, that was just my *youngest* sister. I mean, most of them are step-sisters, but they're real sisters to me, y'know? In one way or another, I lost all twelve of them, around the world... I think it will take me a lifetime to reunite with all of them. Hey, you can't back out now! Besides, Shuichi... I'd circle the globe with you as many times as it takes. Even if it was the rest of my life. I never expected this would happen... But Rantaro trusts me. And I want to keep my promise. I want to keep this bond between me and Rantaro...forever. You've learned a new skill, Viability  This description is a lie. Viability actually reduces the Influence damage you take instead of increasing your meter. It's like that last Great Fairy upgrade in Ocarina of Time, if you got it after beating Ganon.   Rantaro's Undergarments posted:Rantaro's favorite boxers. At first glance, they look simple, but once you touch them, you can tell they're made of high quality material. With all free time events complete, we get one last piece to our collection:  Shuichi's Undergarments posted:Shuichi's favorite underwear. Don't assume the plaid pattern represents culprits or detectives, or anything of the sort.  While I was doing the LP, I wondered to myself if I give everybody enough gifts they liked to see all of their events without repeating a gift. Barring that one regift, I managed to pull it off! Presented above is the only present that I didn't use, except for stuff that unlocks bonus scenes and ungiftable souvenirs. Only Rantaro will accept this as a good gift.

It took me six months but I made it through and caught up with this LP. Some real whiplash between the super yikes scenes and the traditional DR insanity. Thanks for completing it and even going into postgame content!

What I'm really wondering about is in this alternate reality dating sim world, did Rantaro still get the survivor info? So he knows he just survived a killing game... just to be thrown into a dating game?

Doubtful. The Survivor Perk info was on his Monopad, and if Team Danganronpa cancelled the killing game, it's possibly not even Tsumugi and Keebo have their usual roles.

  What kind of fantasies does Rantaro have? Honestly, I have no idea...  What do I mean? The math book, Shuichi. You finished all of it! Math book... Could he be...my tutor? He's too casual to be a regular teacher... That's why you're my favorite student. Good job! Good work, Shuichi! This is part of Rantaro's dream... I can't break character, or he'll wake up and feel awful... For now... I guess I‘ll just be his student. R-Rantaro... I'm not a little kid... ..."Rantaro," huh? Rantaro's tone had changed. He pulled his hand away, dejected. Not that long ago... You were calling me "Big Brother." Ah, was I? Haha...guess I made you hate me...didn't I, Shuichi? Look, I get it. I would be upset too. I've been your tutor for so long, but now I tell you I'm leaving... Leaving...? What is he implying...? He's so serious all of a sudden..png) How should I respond? I don't fully understand what’s going on... I know I'm being selfish, Shuichi. I'm sorry, but I want to shelter you from danger as much as I can... Haha, whoops, guess I shouldn't have said that... Forget it. No, Rantaro, I won't. Not with that look on your face... Some teacher I am, huh? Making you worry about me... I will protect you. I promise. No one precious to me will ever get hurt again. Rantaro is an enigma, I suppose it makes sense that his fantasies are too. W-Wait, Rantaro! I don't really understand, but here goes... Thinking about you carrying this burden all by yourself hurts me. Rantaro is just trying to keep me safe, but I can't let him go... Maybe you see me as just a student, so you don't think I can protect you... But I don't *want* to be sheltered and oblivious to everything. Rantaro, you're going to quit being my tutor, right? So I’m not just your student. I'm your *friend*. You can tell me anything. I know I can help you. Haha... Now where'd this come from? But...I‘m glad you don't hate me. Now...I can die happy. ...I'm joking. It doesn't sound like a joke. If he isn't careful, he'll die... What has Rantaro gotten himself into? In any case...this is his fantasy. And I'm with him. I would never want you to face it alone, Rantaro... You've really come into your own. Haha... Alright, I give up. I'll tell you everything. The time that I've spent as your teacher... has been such a comfort to me. Yes. Of course.  ...... ...  Last night, with Rantaro... Was that a dream? Even if it was...what a wonderful dream.

I can't decide how I feel about the Love Key events. The ones that are bad are REALLY bad, but most of them are oddly wholesome, somehow? Off the top of my head, Korekiyo and Miu have awful events because they're awful people, Kokichi has a very Kokichi fantasy, and Tenko is a little out of character because her character was the subject of some questionable loc decisions.

I never claimed DRV3 was a flawless game. If I were in charge, I'd probably just get rid of them; in addition to the yikes stuff, rerolling for scenes you haven't gotten yet is a pain in the rear end, especially for the people who died earliest.

It feels like you could easily reframe most of them to a more chaste setting, rewrite the bad ones for being bad (lookin' at you, Kiyo), and then deal with the rerolling situation (better odds for unseen events?) and you'd have a pretty decent mechanic for extra characterisation. But instead we get weird sleazy love hotel. C'est le Danganronpa.

Personally my problem with the Love Keys is the whole "idealized partner" part. Like, you spend all the friendship fragment events building Shuichi's relationship with them but then in the actual Love Key part you're not really Shuichi, you're Kaito's Iceman, you're Himiko's familiar, you're Angie's uncomfortable sex slave, etc. I mean I guess that makes that more interesting than 15 relatively vanilla "boy we sure have gotten close during this murder game, huh Shuichi? Let's gently caress now I guess" scenarios but ultimately I feel like that'd take a lot of creep out of the equation. Not all mind you, but a lot.

I feel like at least some of the creep factor is intentional, though. It goes along with the whole metacommentary of the last trial, where it's basically making fun of the real life audience for getting invested in a murder game. The Love Key is another layer of meta; Shuichi isn't really the one getting involved with these characters, he's acting as a proxy for the player, so by putting him in the role of an idealized partner he's stuck trying to figure events out through context and puzzling out the proper things to say to advance the encounter, which puts him in the same role the player has been performing until then while also taking that role out of the player's hands.

  What kind of fantasies does Kaede think about...?.png) ... ....png) ... .png) U-Ummm... Do you remember what today is? Today... Um... So you don't remember... I kinda had that feeling. Ah, I'm sorry... She put her hands on her hips and pouted at me. Today...is our anniversary. You know, when we started dating... That's right! Today's very important! Ah, I see...this is Kaede's fantasy. That must be why she's talking like this... Since it's our anniversary... I want you to say it, Shuichi... Say...what? I-I'm sorry, Kaede, but I honestly don't know what you want me to say... Oh no, did I make her mad again?.png) How long will I have to wait before you call me something other than just Kaede? Something other than Kaede...? Ah, um... Ah... Say it! ... *gasp*! K-Kaede! Are you okay? Ah, yeah, me too. But...you went back to calling me Kaede again. It's fine. I really like...that passive side of yours... ... Without a word of warning, the blushing Kaede took me in her arms.  .png) K-Kaede, wait! Careful—As Kaede leaned into me, I lost my balance, and... *thud*!  Ah! K-Kaede, sorry, this is a bit... Ah... We're...in bed... Ah, not like I would try anything! ... Yes...? Hug me... What? Like this... Slowly, I put my arms around her, pulling her in gently. Matching my movements, she drew her body closer, pressing herself against me. ... Kaede's warmth was speaking to me...and my whole body was listening. ...Yes, Kaede. I can hear yours too, Shuichi. It's my favorite melody. It envelops me in a warm, strong embrace...more than any other song can do. It fills me with courage... Kaede...? Please call me your sweetheart... S-Sweetheart... If we're going to be honest today, then... I wanted to hear you say that... Kaede— Ah, I mean, my sweetheart...pulled back and rested herself on my lap.We stared into each other's eyes for a long while...our noses almost touching... Shuichi, will you...do it with me? I would like that more than anything. ...  ...... ...  Last night, with Kaede... Was that a dream? But I still feel...her heartbeat...

You might be wondering why the dating sim portion of the LP is taking so long. I'm halfway through my first planned update and starting to realize how repetitive it is. Would you all mind if I severely abridged things and only included the highlights, after I give you an overview of the process with Kaede?

There's no reason to burn yourself out for a LP thread, so cutting out duplicated stuff sounds like a good idea. I'm sure there's text dumps out there if people want to see 100% of the fluff.

I definitely feel like Kaede and Kokichi's work the best in terms of what Shuichi actually finds interesting. Because Kokichi's implicitly has Shuichi as a successful superstar detective and Kaede's is just the two of them as they are but already dating.

Yesterday I spent all day working on the first of three more updates I'm planning on doing for Salmon Team (I'm doing five romance routes at a time), and I'm this close to getting it done, but I forgot to get footage of one small event and now my setup refuses to work the way it did. I posted about the problem in the tech support thread.Solitair posted:For some reason, my PS Remote Play program has decided that it doesn't want to recognize my PS4 controller. As long as the program is running and my controller is connected via USB cable, the controller's back light is off and it will not respond to commands. I can turn the controller on by pressing the home button, but that shuts down Remote Play. I don't have any other way to get footage from my PS4, so I can't update the DRV3 LP until I solve this problem or buy an Elgato. My new goal is to finish updating this thread by March 26, the third anniversary of this thread, and how quickly I get this issue resolved (or just buy an Elgato) will be a big factor in whether or not I try to do anything beyond the dating sim mode.

 Before we get started, let's see what happens if we repeat Shuichi's "Nuh-uh!" tactic from Chapter 6.    .png) Shuichi wasn't able to seal the deal...  .png) I dunno. Celebs who've fallen from the public eye... Artists whose projects get canceled....png) They knew the risks of pursuing their dreams and failed anyway. So they should take responsibility for that failure, right? B-But, it's not my fault, I didn't choose to come here... .png) You should've spent more time working on your love game, instead..png) At any rate, I dunno what's gonna happen to you from this point. Try to escape or give up and kill yourself... Do whatever you want! Well then, see ya later! ...This academy is now under Monokuma's control. But, that's why... I can't escape the despair. I know I cannot possibly escape by myself... If Monokuma is gone, then...  This is how my days at the academy ended... ...No, it won't end... It won't end until I die. The ending that will never end. I await with open arms. Oh, you like Project Moon games, too?   Let's actually raise some values this time. For some reason Kaede's got a headstart. I found out quickly that you actually need about six more hearts to get to the top, not five, so this chart's not being entirely honest with us.  Asking someone on a date costs a Date Ticket and gives you a choice of five locations. There are three sets of choices for each location.  For instance, this is the first choice available for the Dining Room. I've elected to show off the three or four most interesting events for each person, even though they're not the events I did to max out my relationships. Let's drink something posted:
The four possible result types are best, good, bad and worst. This is a bad result; it gives you no hearts. Let's bake something posted:
A good result gives you half a heart, basically a consolation prize.  I'm not good at cooking... Well, I guess more like...I never get the opportunity to cook. I wasn't allowed to cook in case I injured my fingers, since I'm a pianist... With you standing next to me, I know I'll be safe!Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun. A best result gets you a full heart... I think. Because of aforementioned lying chart, I'm not sure if the results I looked up are accurate. I know which choices get which results, though.  It's been awhile since I had this much fun doing something other than the piano! If you want...let's hang out again. I want to know more about you, Shuichi... L-Let's walk back to the dorms together!This is what Kaede says after every best date. Good date with Kaede posted:
Bad date with Kaede posted:
Worst date with Kaede posted:
 This is the third choice in the library. Sometimes the options change depending on who you're with; the book of piano photos is unique to Kaede. I want to scream really loud! posted:
Picking this option is almost always a terrible idea. Most students react worse than Kaede does here. Let's make a tower of books posted:
 Ooh! A photo collection of pianos from around the world! I think pianos are works of art. They have complicated structures... And they're delicate and beautiful... The piano sounds different depending on where it's placed and who plays it! I could look at these pictures all day!Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  Here's the second choice for the gym. Let's play basketball posted:
Worst results are like bad ones, but more humiliating. Ah, maybe we should take off our clothes...? posted:
 Oh, it's pretty important to stretch before a performance. If you don't stretch before an intense performance, you can injure your fingers. When we do our duet later, I'll show you.Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  The soda icon indicates that you've used a Monomergen-C, which you'll automatically do at the start of a day if you have one. It allows you to do three things on a day instead of two.  I wonder what's wrong? Kaede looks deep in thought... .png) (*sigh*)Huh? That voice just now. Is that...? Is that Kaede's inner thoughts...?  Once per playthrough per character, you have a chance at triggering this instead of a normal date. Despite what you may have heard, it's not required to max them out; I managed to avoid Miu's Harmonious Heart entirely when I was raising values, and triggered Ryoma's twice.   God, this always happens... I'm always thinking about the piano...even when I'm with Shuichi, of all people! I'm so rude....png) If only I were better at focusing on what's in front of me...then I wouldn't be in this mess... *sigh* This is why everyone calls me Piano Freak... Two bullets and two weak points. Each combination gives you one of four results. Sadly this isn't as charming as a Nonstop Debate; the camera keeps panning the same way, often cutting off the text, but "Sing the Empty Truth" is a very melodramatic music choice and I am amused by this. Affirm: Piano Freak posted:
There's got to be a better way! Affirm: rude posted:
Deny: rude posted:
  You're not a "piano freak," Kaede. I play the piano whenever I have any free time... I'm okay with that. But I think about the piano when I'm with someone else... Even if that's true, I don't mind. Actually, I'm a little jealous that you have a skill that you can put your time into. I think of it as another thing that's amazing about you, Kaede. ...I'm glad I met you, Shuichi. What...? N-Nothing. Anyway, let's do a duet again! I'm gonna be stricter than usual! Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.Nobody will notice or care that Shuichi somehow read their mind.  When someone comes to you, it doesn't cost you any time or tickets. If you're trying to get everyone to max, there's no reason not to accept an invitation. But for LP purposes, Rantaro can wait his turn.  Honestly, all of Kokichi's date options are varios karats of gold, and it kinda hurt me to narrow them down. Watch a documentary on criminal organizations posted:
Watch a documentary on bugs posted:
 .png) I truly respect police officers. They fight the bad guys for their country, but the public blames them anyway... It's really weird to me that people don't respect the police more.This is the most horseshit thing that Kokichi will ever say. .png) Y'know, that's why I respect you too, Shuichi. Both detectives and the police aim to find the culprit. You take on such an unprofitable and boring job... Shuichi, you're really amazing.That's not exactly a compliment, Kokichi... Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  Exercising after a meal posted:
Drinking coffee after a meal posted:
 .png) Well, you're still a boy after all. I'll tell you something good then. Even though she doesn't seem like it, Tenko's actually a super perverted girl! There's a reason why she's mean to guys. People call girls like that...tsundere. So if you're feeling horny, then you should definitely try to go for Tenko.There's a time and a place to lie, Kokichi... Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  .png) I thought I would've enjoyed hanging out with you, Shuichi. But I was wrong... ...Just kidding! I had a lot of fun, Shuichi! All thanks to you!

Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  What should I do... If I wanna become closer to Shuichi... I probably shouldn't lie so much....png) But that's my shtick...or more like, my way of life... Maybe I should stop lying altogether... Wait, that's a little... Oh, I know!

  A talent you don't want to remember... Like, say, a criminal one? What if I erased my memories on purpose because I was a murderer or something...? No, I don't think that's it. But how can you be *sure*? You can't say that so casually... I'm sure because I know you. I've only known you a short time, but I feel like I understand you, Rantaro. From what I know, you aren't someone who would commit cold-blooded crimes. That's my conclusion, as the Ultimate Detective. ...Isn't that good enough? ...I'm sorry. What? No, I guess I'm not "sorry"... I'm...grateful. The Ultimate Detective is on my side. That is definitely good enough. Thank you, Shuichi. Guess I'll just stay positive and keep waiting for my memories. Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.

You're a good listener, so I ended up talking about myself a little too much.Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  Thanks...

Whoops, forgot that I didn't get Maki's HH event on the first pass, either.  Why do I still remember this...? Maybe I do regret it after all... But I had no choice... I had to kill them... Anyway... If I keep thinking about this, it'll affect my work... I just need to forget about it... *sigh*... I wonder if they hate me... But there's no point pondering about this... Of course they would...

  I don't think so, Maki. .png) Her life was taken away. Of course, she would hold a grudge. But she was your friend, Maki. Yes... Even if it was for work, I killed my friend. But that doesn't mean that she holds a grudge against you. Even if you killed *me*, I don't think I could blame you for that... Isn't that part of being friends? ...You really are... ...No...forget it. But when she turned, I think I caught her smiling..png) Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun. The two that fall in love can graduate... It seems that wasn't a lie...  At the end, everybody you maxed out is available for one last scene to wrap up their relationship with Shuichi.  This is the last day we'll spend at this academy... This school life was crazy, but now that I think back on it, we had some good times.  I'm definitely happy, but...I'm sorta disappointed... I just kept thinking about...the worst possible situation. Yes...but I'm glad nothing happened. Actually, believe it or not, right now I'm almost glad I was brought here. Huh? But why? Did something good happen? A lot of good things happened. I met you, Kaede... ...You say really embarrassing things so easily, Shuichi... Ah, y-you think so? A-Anyway, do you still remember? You know...about coming over to my house? Of course. I was thinking about going over for a visit as soon as we get out. Then, you remember what you're doing once you come over, right? What we're going to do at Kaede's house... The correct answer is always the one on the bottom, and incorrect answers loop back to this selection, so for once I don't have to check a text dump to see the outcome.  I wanted to introduce you to my parents, too... But that wasn't it. Also, meeting my parents...might be a bit too fast... Th-That's true... Sorry. That was wrong. What was I going to do at her house? .png) We never talked about that! The piano at my house is my partner! I would never give it to you! That was wrong. What was I going to do at her house? Yeah, we played a lot with the piano here, but I want us to play on *my* piano. I want to see how well we can sync our timing...our breathing... I want you to listen to the sound of my piano. I'm sure that a piano *that* important to you makes a beautiful sound, Kaede. It's not like it costed a million dollars or anything, but the quality is still top-notch. ... Wh-Why are you quiet all of a sudden? Ah, I was just thinking about how happy I was to meet you, Kaede. If I never met you, I never would have found the beauty of piano... I would never know how much fun it is to play or the richness of its sound... I'm so happy that you showed me those things, Kaede. But I'm not done yet. What? I haven't taught you all the amazing things about the piano yet! I'll be your tutor and teach you everything! We have all the time in the world now... ...right? We have all the time in the world. Once we're free. And I want to spend every second of it with you. There might be bad times, sure... I know that it won't always be easy. But I know...that I'm looking forward to my future with Kaede. And I know that she feels the same way. We may not have said it in words, but...I feel like we didn't need to. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.  You've acquired a new theme, "Love Across the Universe."  I'm relieved to see this option here. Can you imagine having to play this mode fifteen times?   .png) I thought there would be at least one or two murders... Nee-heehee... But I'm so glad nothing violent happened. ...Is that a lie?.png) Who can say? I've been lying so much lately that I can't even tell what's true or not anymore. Oh, yeah... Do you still remember our promise, Shuichi? Promise?.png) Y-You forgot... How could you...? But we swore to each other... Y-You're lying, right!? You remember it, don't you!? The promise I made to Kokichi...  Yeah, that! You have to work under me for free as a member of my secret organization— No, wait! I never promised anything like that!.png) Oh. Do you remember then? Phew, that was close. The real promise was... So, you actually remember. Yeah, you promised you would lose in a game. And after that, I would get to kill you. Wait...didn't I win that game? You forfeited..png) Booooring. You totally remember. Phew, that was close. The real promise was... Welp, I guess you remember. A liar to the end, huh Kokichi? If I don't have lies, then I don't have anything else! My body is made up of 70% lies! That's...not exactly something to be proud of. But hey, my lies never bored you, right? ...I don't want to admit it... But that is true. Because Kokichi kept lying and never clued me in on his real intentions... I felt like I was being drawn in, always wanting to know more. I suppose I was in the palm of your hand until the very end... Hearing those words from you tooootally made lying worth it! Since I lie to entertain people! That's a lie too, isn't it? Who knows? Well anyway, let's keep this relationship going even after we get out of here. Even after we get out of here? Because you don't actually know anything about me, do you? You wanna get to know the real me, right? Then you should stay by my side. I want... I want to know more about him. Where do the lies end and the truth begins? What about him is true? What about him is not true? To find all that out...I shook the hand extended to me. He can lie about a lot of things... But he can't hide the warmth of his hand. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   It felt too long, but at the same time not long enough....png) Kh! Can't believe I'm actually feelin' sentimental about it! So you're capable of feeling sentimental? Psh! I'm a superpowered, hi-tech, augmented human who even makes Keebo nervous! She's never going to give this up, is she?.png) Still though, so much has happened... I got to meet unique people... Not as unique as me, of course, but still... I got to make new inventions that made me frightened of my own abilities... And also... I got to meet...you, Shuichi... Miu....png) O-Oh, do you remember? When you received my panties...you also received a special right. The "special right" was...  Hah-haha! You do you, Shuichi! If you wanna wear 'em, I don't mind! Hell, I'm actually kinda shocked you haven't worn 'em already... Everyone knows a perv like you wouldn't let my warmth go to waste! ..."Everyone" knows this?.png) A-Anyway, don't tell me you seriously forgot the right you received. The "special right” was... Hah-hahaha! What're you gettin' bashful about? If you can't say it with your top head, want me to ask your bottom head!? Th-That's...not necessary... Alright, this is going nowhere. The "special right" was... Alright! Good on ya for remembering! Want me to give ya my bra as a reward? ...No thanks..png) We've gone on dates all over this academy but it's still not enough! There are so many more places I wanna go with you! Too many to even count! Yeah, well, no matter how many dates it takes, I'll keep going until you're satisfied. W-Well...no matter how many dates we go on... I...I...I'll never be satisfied... ...What do you mean? Huh!? Y-You're seriously asking me!?.png) I-I'm sayin' I wanna be with you forever... That's my story...and I'm stickin' to it! Miu and I embraced. The hug was warm and sweet, for Miu anyway... We felt each other's hearts beating so fast... Our relationship began in fiction...but our beating hearts are real. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   ...What? Well, actually, I...... I remember my talent! What!? I know the timing sounds awfully convenient, but it's true! Maybe Monokuma triggered something when he said we can leave. Or maybe not... But whatever it was, I remember it now. So, what is it? An adventurer.  ...Adventurer? Rantaro had finally discovered his talent, but it brings up further questions... Haha, okay, I don't blame you for having a reaction like that. Even I'll admit that it sounds like something straight out of a manga. Y-Yeah.. It's not really something I'm familiar with... But I really am the Ultimate Adventurer. I was given the title of Ultimate during one of my journeys. I was traveling through the Savanna when I came across a remote village. Apparently, I helped research a rare disease that only affected the people there. I started to get famous after that, traveling the world. Before I knew it, people were calling me the Ultimate Adventurer... ...That's a lot to take in... I don't how to to react to that. Haha, yeah, I was surprised too. But I guess adventurers can be a pretty big deal. I met a ton of other adventurers during my journeys. As adventurers, I'm sure they're quite a unique group of people. Absolutely. A kid with white hair who was trained to be an assassin from birth... An adventurer who used chains, trying to hunt down his people's stolen eyes... A tall man obsessed with card tricks, with a star tattooed under his eye...An old man who became young again after drinking from a fountain, only to die from lightning shot from a wizard's penis... Even an adventurer who was trying to pick up girls in a dungeon. ...Now I'm even more confused. Haha, I can see you're surprised! Your reaction makes all this worth it. But y'know, remembering my talent doesn't change who I am. We're still friends. Oh, you remember! Yes, how we're going to travel around the world together. I am the Ultimate Detective, I never forget a case. Well then, Mr. Detective, let me ask you this! Do you remember the reason why I wanted you to travel with me? ...O-Of course. The reason Rantaro asked me to take his case...  ...And here I thought you never forgot a case, Shuichi. Besides, I remember my talent now. I wouldn't need you to take that case. That was wrong. Rantaro's case is... That's kind of true, but that's more of a bonus than the main goal. Besides, exploring the world isn't exactly a case for detectives. That was wrong. Rantaro's case is... ...Yeah, that's it. Other people just shrugged me off, but you really understood how I felt. You didn't tell me to give up like everyone else. That's why I wanted you. ...Let's find your sisters, Rantaro. I know we can do this, together. Yeah, weirdly enough, I do too. Somehow...I *know* that we can find them, as long as we're together. It's gonna be quite the journey... But we're up for it, right, Shuichi? Yeah... I know that one day, that hand will be able to hold his sisters'. We're going to find his family. All of them. I will do whatever I can. That promise...is buried deep within my heart. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   I thought there wouldn't be anything to do trapped in here... ...But you were here, so it was fun. Yeah, I actually had a lot of fun too. We didn't get to spend a lot of time together, but I'm glad you lightened up..png) ......You're quick to say embarrassing things sometimes. Ah, was that a weird thing to say? ...Forget it..png) Anyway...I begin my assassin work again starting tomorrow... ...I feel a little depressed thinking about it. But I guess there's nothing I can do. That's true... Even when she leaves, she isn't returning to a peaceful life. She's returning to a world of blood and contract killing...... ...What's wrong? Ah, nothing....png) Are you feeling sorry for me? I already told you—I don't need your pity. But....png) I said it too, didn't I? If you have time to pity, then you can be doing something more productive. What did Maki say I could do for her?  ...I already told you that's impossible. Even if my organization disappeared, I would be forced to work in a different one. That was wrong. What I can do for her is... .png) ...Huh? What are you talking about? That wasn't it... That was wrong. What I can do for her is... Yeah... The people I assassinate aren't killed for simple reasons. I only kill because those certain complications occur, and can only be settled with murder. As a detective, you should resolve the problems before people resort to assassinations. Of course, it's not as easy as just saying it. If it's going to help you, Maki, I'll do it. No matter how tough it gets. No, I'll go even further! I'll make it so that you have no choice but to quit being an assassin! ...Well, I'll be waiting. It's not like I'm expecting much anyway. But I guess I should find another job, just in case it does happen. Maybe I'll actually try to become the real Ultimate Child Caregiver. I think that's a wonderful idea. But, ah, if it's okay with you... ... ...I understood the words she wouldn't say. After a heartbeat, I took her hand in mine. I will never give up, Maki. I swear it. Our relationship began in fiction...but this promise is real. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end. Poor Shuichi's gonna burn himself out, and he's only a third of the way through his commitments. Hope's Peak Academy Hope's Peak Academy theme. This is where it all began...       Manually translated and guaranteed to start a fandom. Just watch out for those paywalls. Solitair fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Oct 6, 2023 |

Mercifully, the wiki explains all the pop culture references in the game's dialogue. On Rantaro's adventures, he apparently met several characters from Hunter x Hunter, as well as the dude from the the so-stupid-it-could-only-be-a-light-novel Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? I'm going to assume Solitair's joke was from an Oglaf comic

You're about to make your cosplay debut, so you can't overeat, Shuichi! A pudgy Kanata is absolutely not possible!.png)
Sometimes I get angry that there aren't any characters that wear these..png)
Also, what's wrong with you? It's not like you to say things like that....png)
Huh? Really? I didn't know you were interested in that... Didn't you say before that you wanted to do Kanata, Shuichi?.png)
If that is the case, then perhaps you should rest back at the dormitory..png)
You have a maid at your beck and call. It would make me happy if you kept that in mind..png)
I do not enjoy following you around without purpose..png)
Hmmm... Action-y movies make me tired. They're too stressful..png)

I think this conversation went well. Oops, I forgot to get the most optimal response on camera! Oh well. It's not like anyone's still reading this thing.  .png) The professor said he didn't mind... The notion that someone wouldn't mind being hurt by another... Is such a thing even possible?.png) No, there's no use worrying about it... Because only the professor knows the truth....png) Still...if I had someone I could talk to about this... Maybe...if I talked to Shuichi... But if I go to him with this... It might just bother him...Affirm: only the professor knows the truth posted:

 ...I think that's different, Keebo. You were talking about how you hurt the professor before, right? I think that means you understand how the professor feels as well. Wh-What makes you so sure of that...? You always speak of him so fondly. It's probably because you're always thinking about him... You love him very much. I don't think anyone else knows the professor better than you, Keebo. ... He doesn't hate you. You should know that better than anyone. If he did, he wouldn't have spent so much time caring for you and raising you..png) Shuichi...! Th-Thank you! If I had a tear-shedding function installed, I would—! Good, it seems like we both had a lot of fun.  I sort of wish we could stay here a while longer... ...Really? I'm just happy to be leaving. I mean, of course I'm happy too, but... How should I say it... Our time here was almost like fiction, right? So, I feel like I should've enjoyed it more while I could. Ah, I see... I guess it isn't so strange for the Ultimate Cosplayer to think that way. Oh, more importantly, do you remember? That conversation we had about getting out of here and cosplaying together. I want to get out of here mostly to see you cosplay. Of course I remember... You're going to make my costume, right? Yup. Of course, you remember what you're going to cosplay, right? Ah, o-of course I do... I'm going to cosplay as...  Huh...? How did you get that? Are detectives' memories not as good as I thought? That was wrong. I'm going to cosplay as... These certainly are many quality anime that play at that time... But we didn't talk about those, did we? Could it be you changed your mind? That was wrong. I'm going to cosplay as... Yes! Kanata! It's the first cosplay outfit I ever made! I'm all fired up now! I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm looking forward to it... You gotta get fired up for it, too! As the Ultimate Cosplayer, I swear it'll be a better cosplay than this! Than this...? .png) No, no...it's nothing. Just an inside joke. ...I see. For a single, fleeting moment... I thought I saw the light fade from Tsumugi's eyes. ...Or did I just imagine it?Yeah, that's clearly the opposite of what happened. You might be doomed. If you like Kanata, let's try a bunch of other characters, too! I'm going to drag you into the cosplay swamp in no time! Ah, haha... I'll be careful not to get too deep..png) I look forward to working with you, Shuichi. I thought about cosplaying with Tsumugi. I'm sure this won't be just once. We'll cosplay together plenty of times... For whatever reason, I just know it. Of course, I still feel a little embarrassed to be cosplaying... But excited, too. I'll treasure this excitement. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   Proud? I-I'm sure you're just exaggerating... Have you forgotten? I see potential in you. If I can support you like I have with my past masters... ...I am sure you can break out of your shell and soar high into success. Spending time with someone with such potential is a proud achievement for a maid. Yes, I remember... I would still like to serve you when we leave here... Have you thought about your answer? Ah, could you perhaps...give me some more time? I remember you saying that, with you by my side, I could go anywhere. But before that...I want to see how far I can go on my own. Could I request your help after I'm satisfied with what I've accomplished? Hmhm... I knew you would say that... You did? But my desire to serve you will not change. When that time comes, please contact me. I will follow my principles as a maid and offer you my whole heart. Your principles as a maid? Oh? Have you forgotten? Ah, n-no... Kirumi's principles as a maid...  True. When I serve a new master, I view it as an once in a lifetime opportunity. I will start to neglect my services if I think otherwise. But something as obvious as that is not included in my principles. That was wrong. Her principles are more like... To remember from our mistakes... That is important as well, but it has nothing to do with my principles. That was wrong. Her principles are more like... Yes...I must dispose all personal feelings if I am to commit my services. My master's desire. My master's wish is my wish..png) In my opinion, that is how all maids should think... This, coming from an Ultimate. But when the time comes to serve me, I hope that you find your own purpose. Are you telling me to bend my principles? Ah, no, nothing like that... I had a lot of fun being your classmate. So...I would like to be able to talk with you like that again. ... Hmhm... If my master desires it, then I will do so. I look forward to the day I serve you. Yes. I'll work hard, Kirumi. I want to call upon you soon. I will polish my skills as a maid until then. I know that we won't have to break them. I know it. And I know that Kirumi feels the same way. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   Yeah. Nothing really eventful happened, but I had a lot of fun with everyone. Everyone here was nice...if I forget that they called my magic "tricks.".png) Hrmmm...but now that I remember it, it annoys me... How rude of them... Calling my magic "tricks"... Once we're outta here, I need to have them watch my show to set them straight. When we're out of here... Ah, that's right, you were going to keep up your tricks after we got out. Ah, sorry....png) Geez...I can't be off guard for even a second. Well, anyway... Of course I'm gonna keep practicing my magic once I get outta here. So I can be onstage with my master once again. Th-That's right... "That's right"? You didn't forget about it till now, did you? N-No, not at all....png) Then, tell me what my master is doing right now, magically... Himiko's master is...  .png) Th-That's... It's not impossible....png) No! It is impossible! My master put more passion into his magic than any other mage! He'd never retire quietly! That was wrong. Himiko's master is... Hrmmm... Can you really say such a messed up thing right at the end here?.png) Maybe *you're* a dark mage! That was wrong. Himiko's master is... Wrong. Wrong? But... Ah, sorry! Geez, until the very end... But besides that part, you got it right. My master must be doing magic training at this very moment. That's why I need to polish my own skills. If you and your master ever put on a show, I'll make sure to go see it. Of course... After all, you're the only one who understands my magic. If you don't come see our new show, I won't forgive you. I'm gonna force you to watch from a special seat, no matter what. I can picture it. I imagine Himiko having so much fun... She's smiling, crying tears of joy... And I wish from the bottom of my heart that that day comes sooner rather than later. My wish... Her wish...will definitely come true. I will do everything I can to see that wish granted. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   I thought I'd be happy about it, but I don't want it to end...I'm a little sad. It was just for a short while, but we did go through a lot. I'm a little sad too. Ah, but of course, I'm still more happy than sad. Are you going to go back to astronaut training when you get out of here?.png) Of course! No way I'd give up on my dream of becoming an astronaut! I lost time here, so once I get back, I'm gonna train harder than before! I'm gonna make up all my lost time as fast as I can! That's true, while we were in here, the other trainees were training every day. Yeah, it's gonna be hard work closing that gap! But, y'know, coming here... I think it was good for me. One reason was because I got to meet you... But also, I was able to practice the most important thing for an astronaut. The most important thing?.png) What? I told you before, didn't I? Don't tell me you forgot. Ah, of course... The most important thing for an astronaut...  Yeah, that's definitely important for an astronaut. But that's not the most important thing, as far as I'm concerned. Hey, did you really forget about it? That was wrong. The most important thing must be... Well, yeah. Adapting to your environment is important... But there's something more important than that. Did you seriously forget? That was wrong. The most important thing must be... Ah, so you did remember it. No matter how great you are, you can't be an astronaut if you can't communicate. A fight on a spaceship because of bad communication could be fatal, right? Yeah, I imagine that would be terrible. The universe is a hostile place, so communication is really important. But our daily lives here were the same way, right? Being shut away and told to live together... Living together here was probably even harder than living in a spaceship. Well, you learned a lot about communication here. Living here must have been good training for you. Yeah, I won't waste what I learned here. But it's the same for you, right? What? Just how living here helped me in my astronaut training... I think it helped you with your detective work, too. Maybe the time you spent here will be useful for your future, y'now? Isn't that something you gained here? ...Yeah, I suppose I have. Skills every detective needs... Skills every human being needs... And above all else... I was lucky to make a friend like Kaito. Thank you for everything. I'm really glad I met you, Kaito. What are you talking about!? That's my line! I'm glad I got to meet you, Shuichi! You'll always be my sidekick, alright!? Yes, of course! We both put all our strength into the handshake. I'm really glad I met Kaito. So in at least *one* way, I'm thankful to Monokuma. I'm sure Kaito feels the same way. But we don't have to tell each other that. We don't need words. I know exactly how Kaito feels, without them. This bond might just be the special something I acquired here. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end.   It's a bit sad, isn't it? Even though we were forced to come here. Yes... I would be lying if I said I did not feel sad about leaving this place. But that sadness is blown away when I think about presenting our plan to the professor. Our plan?.png) Have you forgotten!? The plan that you and I came up with together! Ah, yes, the plan. The proposal we came up with to present to Professor Idabashi, right? You do remember the details of our plan, right? O-Of course... The plan Keebo and I came up with...  Yes, that is correct. We would need to prepare different models and colors so I can be mass produced. ...No, that's not what I'm talking about at all! First of all, my learning AI makes me a one-of-a-kind robot... Mass producing me is simply unthinkable! That was wrong. The plan was about... Yes. If I'm to be adored by everyone, then it is essential that I become a giant robot. That is the minimum requirement for a robot to be loved by all. ...No, that's not what I'm talking about at all! If I became a giant robot, it would make me even less human!.png) And assuming that robots must be that big is itself a form of robophobia! That was wrong. The plan was about... Yes, that's right! In order to achieve even greater heights as a robot... The backstory behind my creation simply will not suffice. For example, I could have been kidnapped by an evil organization and turned into a cyborg... That's why we came up with different backstories to present. You want the professor to modify your settings when you get out of here, right? Yes, that is my intention. But... ...What's wrong? No, it's nothing serious... It's just...as much as I look forward to it, I also feel somewhat worried... It's okay, Keebo. We worked so hard on that, I'm sure the professor will be convinced. No, it's not that... I'm just a little worried about...the modification procedure. What if...the modifications turn me into a completely different person? And what if we grow apart because of that...until we're no longer friends...? Keebo... Oh, I apologize... We're about to finally leave this place, and I'm talking about such a depressing subject. I'm positive that the modification will go smoothly..png) ...What? And if something goes wrong, and you're not Keebo anymore... I would still want to be friends, Keebo. So you don't need to worry about that. Sh-Shuichi... Keebo is a robot. I am human. But that difference doesn't matter. We're best friends, no matter what. No matter how many times Keebo is modified... Even if Keebo isn't Keebo anymore, he will always be my friend! Our relationship began in fiction...but our affection is real. And thus, our days at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles...came to an end. Next time, we get out of dating sim purgatory. Jabberwock Island Jabberwock Island theme. Blue sky, white clouds...       RIP the original translation. Some say its author roams the internet even now, but no evidence has been found to confirm this.

...I often wonder why action movies always depict robots as so violent. There are actually many benevolent robots who wish to live in peace among humans..png)
...I don't seem to be feeling well. I'll have to ask Miu for maintenance... I'm sorry, I'll head back first..png)
Wh-What's that supposed to mean!? Surely, you must be joking!.png)
And...what do you expect me to do about it? I'm not equipped with reproductive functions....png)
Wait, that's not the issue!.png)
He would not have raised me to be capable of feeling these emotions. That's why he doesn't resent me... I know that now, thanks to you Shuichi.

The konjac thing is such a weird aspect of Kirumi. I think it's some pun to do with alcohol, but it just doesn't translate well at all.
