The way Clair De Lune plays and Shuichi’s performance as he turns down Keebo’s optimistic statments really stood out to me.

Genuinely one of the reasons why I like V3 so much. They became self aware of the poor writing and made fun of endless sequel and reboot culture. The series is always so black and white good v evil because all people want is to feel hope, is to feel good. I had a discussion with someone about this. I talked to a fan and, ironically, they hate V3 because they just want to feel hope, they want to feel good and they want more Danganronpa. They are the problem. V3 makes a pretty good critique on the predictable patternistic behaviour of storywriting, it's self aware about being fiction, it is critiquing itself. Kodaka knew what he was doing.

danganronpa is what makes hope and despair not sound likes words anymore

hope doesn’t even sound like a word anymore

“I reject that hope!” It sounds like he’s crying on the word hope…

The moment where Shuichi goes from the Mastermind's puppet to the true protagonist.

Nagito: THE HELL YOU SAY YOU STU-

It was already a really emotional scene BUT CLAIR DE LUNE IN THE BACKGROUND 😭😭😭😭😭

What is hope? A burden you bear? I reject both hope and despair!! They suck

Kiibo: Hop- Shuichi: NO THATS WRONG

SO I SAY NO I REJECT THAT HOPE

I genuinely screamed when I got to this bit for the first time and mfing CLAIR DE LUNE started playing, this entire scene where Shuichi rejects hope and then the audience is so, so powerful to me, and it made this ending so worth it for me- Shuichi sounds like he's on the verge of tears but somehow so confident and strong that really shows his arc as going from a scared, weak detective, and it feels like it all led up to this moment where he tells Keebo that hope won't end Danganronpa and how they need to fight against the world that inflicts suffering for entertainment!- I love this game so much, it is a genuine masterpiece in my eyes- I don't think I have cried as much on repeat playthroughs as drv3. Shuichi is my favorite character in any danganronpa thing, whether it be game, novel, or anime and this trial made me so sad yet so insanely happy.. I'm really glad I picked up this series for these kinds of moments alone.. Trial 1, 4, 5, 6 all made me cry at multiple points, and let it be known that I haven't cried at anyone of the previous danganronpa games, so I wasn't expecting v3 to be any different, but WOW I couldn't have been more wrong. This game is one of my favorite games of all time, for its characters, story, plot, development, and arcs that blew me away. This game means so much to me, and I'm so happy that it turned out the way it did, despite its flaws. :)

This part genuinely makes me feel sad ngl

OK WOW I LEGIT FORGOT ABOUT THIS PART ITS PRETTY GOOD ACTUALLY

Shuichi was so right 0:23

"IT'S BULLSHIT AND I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLDGE IT!"

KEEBO SOUNDS LIKE HES CRYING

Funny how peeps hate himiko meanwhile her and kiboi carried the trial- maki as well

I wouldnt have expected to play as a random robot in this game the plot twists in v3 is actually crazy

This part is very good, a real masterpiece

No hope lives on

Not nagito making this whole conversation because he’s hope “People want hope” BECAUSE OF NAGITO

Straight up the moment this game steamrolls every other DR game lol. In a series so self-aware, it's only fitting that the story characters literally become aware of the nature of the fiction in which they exist and refusing to play along. God damn its so good lol

I cried
