Rantaro now: looks like a drug dealer Rantaro early design: look like a drug addict.

Fuyuhiko's early design be like: "I am no longer baby. I am now daddy."

I love how unique the danganronpa artstyle is. It's anime but you just know that it's danganronpa, due to the cool little designs in each character, the eyes, the shading. Personally, in a way, to me, the art has always felt rather gothic and it's probably due to the shading (not so much in dr2 though, i love how vibrant that game is) That sort of style feels really enhanced in DRV3 though

Ryoma's early design makes me appreciate him more now. I mean I loved him before with his deep voice and his silly design and his deep thoughts. But I love him a bit more now since he could’ve been looking like a thumb.

"why is no one talking about.." literally everyone is talking about it

Gonta's early design: Tarzan. Gonta's released design: Tarzan in human world.

2:39 bro had a glow down

I actually like the early designs of the Dr v1 cast(with the exception of sakura and chihiro) cause it actually feels like a horror game, especially monokumas, it's a bit difficult to take the game seriously at times because of how cartoons it all feels, it's a shame they had to scrap the idea because of marketability

Nobody: Human MoNokuma doesn’t exits. Don’t be scared Human monokuma: 0:57

Just when I thought Rantaro couldn't get any more emo then he already is.

I actually love Korekiyo’s early design, it looks so nice

I LOVE the old art style for the first game. It really reminds me of those dark horror RPGmaker games. Though I am also happy we have the style the series has, it's unique.

I’m really happy they didn’t stick with monokumas beta design.

Ryoma’s beta design is the exact definition of “Are you lost baby girl?” 💀

3:20 王馬くんは割とどっちのデザインも好き

0:24 damn nice will byers fanart 👍

why is nobody talking about how ryoma was literally a thumb.

Toko is actually prettier than she says she is omg

Imagine if they used Monokuma’s beta design Junko wouldn’t even have to do anything, everyone would fall right into despair after seeing that monstrosity.

1:45 Fuyuhiko could've became a man instead of becoming boss baby in a nutshell

The devs took one look at Fuyuhiko's beta and just said "Screw it, *BABY GANGSTA* "

Monokuma beta design is just- Glad they use bear instead human-

The fact that we could have had teruteru as a copy and pasted Mondo is smth

It's very cool to see how so many of the character's early designs were so strong and only had minimal changes vs the ones who seemed to have to be completely redone.

Akane and hiyoko: Look barely any different from their early designs Fuyuhiko:

Maki looks like if she would be an actual child caregiver and not assassin

It’s weird how the concept art for 1 and 2 are rough sketches and monotone palettes but the V3 “concept art” looks almost like a finished product

How many times can I thank them for making Nagito the way he is now 😭❤

I love the beta version of Toko,she is very cute

*sees Monokuma’s early design* Me: *sigh* Levi do ur thing

3:44 how tf are ya gonna kill this lmao😂

TOKO'S EARLY DESIGN LOOKS KINDA FINE-

I’m really glad that they didn’t stick with fuyuhiko’s original design

Kokichi early design looks like a person pretending to be emo just for the fame-

I actually really like keebo's old design. I feel like it makes sense because he was supposed to be the most human-like robot so it fits that he would have a more human-like, less sci-fi build

2:37 Remember what they took from us.

Nagito now= psycho Nagito early design= shy boy-

If teruteru still had old design, I bet the whole fandom would simp for him even though he is a pervert lol

2:14 wait what why does this look soo good

Kiibos early design is giving five nights at Kiibo

Why is nobody talking about monokuma early design Jesus Christ that's disturbing

1:42 I honestly couldn’t help but laugh at the contrast of Fuyuhiko going from a stereotypically buff, stone-faced Yakuza to the Baby Gangsta we all know and love. 😂

2:44 i like Released one more 2:47 Angie still adorable either way 2:52 did the early design have shoes? 2:57 love the early design tbh 3:03 ....i think i like the released one more..... 3:08 honestly....i like them both but we all know he needs the gotee 3:12 released one 3:18 (my opinion, the person typing this) OMG KOKICHI IS SUPER CUTE AS BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3:23 i always forget about this guy 3:28 i like the released one more tbh 3:33 miu is miu can''t change her with a early design 3:38 i like the released one tbh 3:43 ....he looks like a thumb....released one 3:48 nahh i want my normal emo love, not some duck boy 3:52 ....i like the released one more..... 3:58 still the mastermind both ways

DUDE I LOVE THE EARY DESIGN ARTSTYLES FOR DR1 it’s leans on the horror aspect w the colors and techniques with the shading/lines

Sonia’s beta design is literally the definition of “Nevermind, Let’s focus on other character’s design”

Why doesn't anyone talk about Shuichi's beta design!!? He's super cute

Just love that everybody literally looking at Teruteru Hanamura's early designXD

not me at 3am seeing monokumas early design

Fuyuhiko’s beta design is a whole different person lol-

Fun fact: there is one design of mondo that his hair was actually suposed to be a gun Another fun fact: hajime was going to be the one to annoy nagito, and kokichi was supposed to be shorter than he already is

I love Kaede and Miu's old designs so much

I think it’s cool that Kaede’s beta design was basically Himiko, and the people (or person) who drew the art probably looked at previous characters for inspiration to make new character designs

Junko's early design is literally Britney spears 💀💀💀

WHY DOES NAGITO LOOK LIKE KIIBO’S LONG LOST BROTHER 😂

Ahora que me doy cuenta. Para algunos personajes reutilizaron a los diseños beta. Ejemplo: El diseño beta de Kazuichi, que fue reutilisado para hacer su diseño como remanente de la desesperación. Y el diseño beta de Impostor apareció en el anime.

2:23 this gotta be the most instersing and best early design I seen yet.

Me: Wow, these actually look pretty coo- *sees Monokuma's* HOLY SHI-

literally why is nobody talking about hajime’s early design ?! like istg it’s just 😩💍💕

0:59 The early design looks like Junko just took Kyoko’s Dad’s corpse, inserted robotic mechanics inside his organs and then just skinned one half of him.

1:32 an easter egg... the anime referencied the early design of Ultimate imposter.

Izuru: *exists* Nekomaru's beta: *"I'm you, but cooler."*

Can I just say that the beta design for Kokichi makes him look like a kid? It looks pretty cool! Edit: whoa 😟I never got this many likes before! Thank you!

I do like the release designs a lot but some of the earlier designs were really cool!

I actualy really like Monokuma's. Just imagine how much more scarier that would be 😭 the whole DR1 og designs are so cool. You can tell they were going for more of a scary looking game, kinda wish it ended up that way

Rantaro's beta design look like someone who would be in Ibuki's music band

Nagito looks like keebo if he was a person

why is toko’s old design so hot

I already couldn't take Ryoma as a character seriously, but the beta design got me dying.

Fun fact the “ultimate imposters” beta design is his real form

Tbh, Kokichi looks like a kid who's about to ask for treats on Halloween.

Early teru>>

I’m devastated that we didn’t get to see Mius original design in action 😭😭😭 it’s literally so good

They look more human or realistic. But most of them look very pretty/handsome.

"No neck Ryoma doesn't exist, he can't hurt you" No neck Ryoma: 3:42

慣れてるってのもあると思うけどやっぱリリース後の立ち絵の方が良いな

I think its cool how the Beta design of Imposter actually became his real appearence in the anime.

Toko’s design was very pretty:(

I just realized the Aoi is the only Danganronpa girl that doesn’t wear a skirt/Dress🤧 Edit:thx for liking and commenting🥲👍🏻

Nobody: Early Kokichi: CAUSE TONIGHT WILL BE THE NIGHT THAT I WILL FALL FOR Y- Edit: Ngl he did look pretty cool

the early designs look like an old map thats been soaked in beer

Kokichi's first design looks kinda cute, I can't lie

GOOD THING THEY CHANGED RYOMA'S

KIRUMI THO-​WHY DIDNT THEY STICK WITH THE EARLY DESGIN 😢

OooO that’s pretty cool-HOLY SHI- WJH DOSE MONO,UMA LOOK LIKE THAT HE ATE A BRICK I SWEAR

Kaede’s beta looks like if she and Himiko merged together.

Me: **looks at ryomas early design** Also me: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT IS THAT A WORM

3:59 Haven’t finished the game yet (early chapter 2, don’t spoil) and il tsumugi but considering she’s a cosplayer her design had so much more potential like add a bunch of different accessories, like hair clips, earrings, iron on patches everywhere ect. But it’s pretty plain and sad

I like how the first game's character designs are very reminiscent of persona but much more realistic

I honestly prefer some of the beta designs over some of the original designs. Like some of them give potential for really cool twists(e.g; Maki's beta design, it would have been a good twist to have someone who legitimately looks like a child care taker to be an assassin imo.)

I love how Teruteru’s release design is not like the other charactors design, but his early design is like taller then him.

i like the early design more. but emo Kokichi scares me, and buff Fuyuhiko is distrubing me-

2:25 , Early Design beautiful!

3:48 Shuichi's early design looks like Kaede's genderbend tbh

Me: Ah, this shouldn’t be to bad *takes sip of water* Ryoma hoshi: *has no chin and a beard* Me: *spits out water*

I love how Mondo's only real difference was from the hair pointing up, to pointing down

I like how raw the early designs were instead of the commercially marketable versions they ended up with.

Thx for putting it in a no-spoiler order!!!! Also, let's be thankful Monokuma's original design wasn't finalized.

Can I just- I’m really glad they didn’t use Ryoma’s early version 😭

Chihiro’s early design looks like a small Victorian child beggar and i love it

For Danganronpa one and two I actually prefer the beta designs with a few exceptions The old art style just looks so cool! Like the old Nekomaru just looks so badass!
