That logic is floored. You're not going to get 75% of this video with this still being up. People who have already watched this video won't just go to your new one. The nature of this post means everyone would add a view here before adding a view on your new video. I get you're probably trying to bait more views but yeah your logic is flawed.

@@pcsmush thank you oh wise one. I see the error of my ways. Except I'm not trying to bait views lol, I just want people to stop complaining about the watermark

The 75% thing was weird. I don't know why I typed that to be honest

Danganronpa in 1 damn sentence

@@ju2tunknown STOPPPP THAT WORD HAUNTS MY DREAMS

Ah, the danganronpa here is made of danganronpa

Seesaw

I think Leon's still hits me the hardest cuz like its the most realistic to me. Like someone could actually kidnap you and program a baseball machine to throw extra fast and hard.

@@sleepygeekyandreadytodream...y I didn't even think of that aspect of it, my god you're right! My take was that everyone else in this game got to die surrounded by things that they loved, even if those things were being twisted to become murderous. Mondo got to ride his bike one more time, Celeste got to have a dramatic, gothic spectacle, even Makoto showed a level of passion towards Hope's Peak and his classmates and got to 'die' in that environment. But Leon? He HATED baseball. He resented that baseball was all people saw him as good for and he only entered Hope's Peak for a chance to rid himself of the label and pursue a passion that had nothing to do with it. And how does he die? Dragged in chains back to a batting range, and beat to death by the constant reminder that he will never be remembered as anything more than the Baseball Guy who Died By Baseball. THAT'S what's so tragic about it to me. But on a meta commentary, it does hit extra hard that the first death is wild enough to set you up for what's to come, but realistic enough to make the audience feel like we're watching an actual execution. Great insight there! Edit: OH AND ALSO! If I'm remembering correctly, he only killed out of self-defense! Sayaka had lured him in to Makoto's room so SHE could kill HIM, and he was merely defending himself by killing her instead! So it's EXTRA undeserved!

@@tatltails3923 I mean, your take is right. Junko wanted to give the blackend despair so even their executions were made to give them despair. Leon getting killed by baseball themed execution would give him despair, but I watched a video not too long ago that also said that Leon's execution is based off of a thing some baseball players do, where they stay in a batting cage and get baseballs shot at them and they have to keep hitting them until they drop. It was for practice, and the fact that Leon was so good that he didn't need practice AND that he didn't actually practice or plan to kill Sayaka.... Also I don't remember much about Mondo's execution, but Celeste's your right that burning to death would've been a death she'd like, and that's exactly why they play up the fire only for her to die by car accident (the fire truck) a basic execution to show Celeste she isn't special like she made herself to be. And Makoto's is based on the fact that as a student you're expected to just sit in your seat and pay attention even if something big is happening. Murkuro's is kinda symbolic because of the name of the spears (Gungnir?) is what kills the wolf her organization was based on (Fenrir) and Junko's death gave her despair because she was SO excited to experience the despair of death and that moment in the end when she looked up meant she got bored so basically she died of boredom and that gave her more despair (which is good for her I guess??) sorry for the long comment

@@sleepygeekyandreadytodream...y No, don't be sorry! I love analyzing fan stuff like this! I'm not even really in this fandom, but there's a lot of fun fan discussions to be had and you've had some great points. Especially about everyone's deaths being ironic, that is a big factor to add to the discussion and I probably should have mentioned it sooner. It does shed new light on the subversion of expectations being what brings the kids the most despair, but that's also why I still think that just emphasizes Leon's tragedy: He doesn't even get any hope to crush. From the moment he's convicted he's just instantly dragged to his worst scenario and not even given that glimmer of hope. Especially when you add on your fact about where the idea for the execution came from: it's telling him that not only will he never be seen as anything but a Baseball Guy, he'll not even be seen as a GOOD Baseball Guy! He dies being forced to fail a basic baseball training exercise, told in so few words but so many baseballs that he's been straight-up worthless from his birth to his death. I don't have much to add to Mondo's execution, but it was him riding his bike in that circus-y cage sphere thing until it got powered by enough electricity to literally turn him into butter. Not sure exactly how that ironically ties into his despair, except maybe to mock all the posturing he had to do to hold a position of leadership in a gang and comparing him to a clown, or at least a performer? That might be how it's supposed to be painful, making him feel like a fake and a fraud- OH YEAH CAUSE THAT'S WHY HE WENT CRAZY WITH CHIHIRO AND/OR HIS BROTHER, HE WAS SUPER INSECURE ABOUT HIS IMAGE AS A MANLY MAN! So boiling his life's work down to nothing but a cheap performance was how it was supposed to hurt him. Still not sure about the butter, the butter was weird.

@@tatltails3923 The butter is a reference to a children's book called "The Story of Little Black Sambo," where a poor African or Indian boy (depending on which interpretation is being told) gives up his clothes to group of tigers to avoid getting eaten. The tigers put on the new clothes and start arguing among themselves over which one looks the best, which devolves into the tigers chasing each other around a tree for so long that they end up disintegrating into butter. The boy's family come and take back the clothes, and end up using the butter to make pancakes. The rivalry between the tigers kind of mirrors the brotherly rivalry between the Owadas, with their combined fates mirroring that of the tigers (one died in a race, and the other actually became butter for pancakes) . It's also why there's a lot of tiger imagery in the execution.

Wrong character

I really wanted this one more. But I am perfectly satisfied with what we got

Honestly the first time i saw the final version it made me feel sick even though it wasnt that bad. I cant imagine what the one you described would make me feel

Oooo, do you have a link to any artwork/additional description of what the early prototype was like?? watching the grumps playthrough inspired me to go down the danganronpa rabbit hole and id love to see it!

You can find the execution on KZfaq and some images of the beta on the danganronpa wiki

Right? He even predicted pac man

He also predicted that the protagonist of V3 would die

My favorite will still be Dan making that fucking Pac-Man comment. Like..... What the fuck man how could you know?

Plot armor, I like that, I’ve been saying “Main character protection” but I might start using Plot Armor.

Get ready for the third game

@@Adelei42069 spoiler So you definitely haven't seen all the games yet

@@atmojoan1672 uh oh uh oh

I think that’s why she’s the first, to show that no ones safe and there’s no plot armor

Monokuma: Danganronpa.

Me: AH!

I think it's cuz Monokuma wasn't being fair with Makoto's execution

That was very satisfying.

That was very satisfying

That was very satisfying

Tis was thou satisfactory

lmao i thought abt that too like he literally just predicted a part of v3 without even knowing

KAEDE WHO-

you should probobly say that this is spoilers

Kiyoko: Yes, finally I can be the prota- Leon: Mommy said it's my turn to be protagonist :)

Yeup

i would like this comment but it's at 69 likes right now and i just can't ruin it

and car accidents and crashes and stuff like that are very "common" ways to die i said common because. lack of a better term

mhm, she at first was going out in the most elegant, one of the most unique ways to die, being burned at the stake, which was only used on very special people. then the truck came in, and instead had her die in (i think) what is the most common way to die

Who has tho

He certainly won't now

I can FEEL his flashbacks if they play V3

Finally someone else got the LBS reference. I doubt you can even find a print of that story these days. My grandmother used to read me that story all the time when I was a kid. She had a really strong Bostonian accent so I alway remember the part about the tigers turning into “buttah” lol Monokuma even wears LBS’s clothes as enjoys his pancakes.

Oh I've heard about this! I never knew the story's name though.

Yea. Can editing software at least put their logo in the corner?

that'd be 2 DDLC refrences in this vid (the first one being at chihiro's death "I swear if Sayori is hanging from the cieling..")

#robophobic

Yeah it’s confirmed Alter Ego has feeling. When Makoto picks them up Alter Ego says “that tickles!” ToT

Yes i was wondering too. Fuck it's so complicated

Shit i WISH i know what progam you used IF ONLY I KNOW

movavi video editor plus hates you

Shotcut is free and has no watermark

I'll try to snowboard in my mind to figure it out!

yeah, when you play it back, it wasnt mock surprise, she had a look of genuine betrayal

It's foreshadowing that her not only the 16th student, but also since she's Junko's twin, she thought she was immune to the rules.

Rest in peace Mukuro

@@mazda787bgroupcNah the plan was to have fake Junko break a rule and get imprisoned, then let Mukuro work in the backgrounds to set up future murders and sabotage. But Junko thought it’d be nice to give some despair to her own sister, and feel the despair of her twin dying.

yeah well that's their entire show : P I felt the same way about ace attorney and undertale as well

Atleast they loved it

It’s game grumps

Obviously

it was explained in the class trial. taka and hifumi were found at the same time so taka's announcement played, making the people think hifumji was also dead

the body discovery went off because taka was found at the same time and everyone at yamada’s “body” assumed it was for him, it was apart of celeste’s plan.

It's actually explained that the reason why the BDA went off was because both Taka's body and Hifumi's "body" were both found at the same time (if I remember correctly, it was also on their plan to make Hifumi's "death" more believable)

@@vanmitchell846 i-

oh ok

it would be even more terrifying if we heard their screams during the execution instead of that stupid music

@@starkid5203 True, it would be much more creative to hear the actual sounds the characters have to hear

Arin was very firmly against Chihiro's arc being "Boy Pretends to Be Girl to Avoid Being Bullied" and instead believed it was a trans arc. Which is cool, he was being polite, but the game itself beats him over the head with him wanting to avoid being bullied as a boy and he still acted like Chihiro was gonna have some hidden scene where he reveals he likes being a girl or whayever

Because you're a psycho

I mean, I'd hope you've already played the game before watching this
