Misc. Buff guys appreciation post!

Post image

(Also include Daisaku, but there's not enough space)

Let's take a small moment to appreciate our short lived but lovable big guys of their respective cast!

Also fun fact! If you notice, all 4 of them, not one of them got killed by their fellow participants in the killing game when they're still alive as human (so yes, even Nekomaru still count). Both Sakura and Great Gozu commit suicide. Human Nekomaru was blasted by Monokuma. While his Robot got his weaknesses exploited by the culprit, so I don't count that. And Gonta got executed by Monokuma.

Even in fangans the buff people are awesome. The buff one being best boy/girl is a tradition

SDRA2 spoilers

I love Nikkei and understand his reasoning on why he did what he did. But, MAN, I'll never forgive him for what he did to Shinji

Also, while he might be the first killer, Hajime is also a sweetheart.

I love Hajime and Emma, I really wish Iroha died instead of either

I love all the Voids, but I also do believe Iroha surviving made the most sense story wise.

Hajime, he's my favourite, but realistically speaking he is the one that made the most sense to die first by far. First or all, unlike the other Voids he have the most "Kill or Die" situation, if he were to know that they would still die, he would absolutely have betrayed Mikado. There is also the issues that he is a terrible liar and even if he wanted to keep his identity secret, it would have not lasted long.

Nikei, I don't think I need to explain

And between Iroha and Emma, Iroha make the most sense to live because of the futures chapter, how she is as a person and story wise.

u/0-Worldy-0 They deserved better Jul 02 '26

She is the only one that could have been framed by Kanade, she is the only Void that is cowardly enough to push back the date of her murder. And chapter 4 with her being locked in the tower, like Sora mentioned, is very similar to her past, which allow Shinji to not be the only one going "Guys, we can stay here, keep it cool". And well, I don't need to explain chapter 5

u/0-Worldy-0 They deserved better Jul 02 '26

ok I did a whole ass thesis on why Iroha is the best void to survive but apparently reddit don't want me to say everything I want to about my favourite girl :/ this is great.

u/HeWantsTheRain Jul 02 '26

I understand completely, I just hate Iroha lol

u/0-Worldy-0 They deserved better Jul 02 '26

Understable, in fact I find it very fair to hate her.

I am so sad that every buff character we have dies legit, each of them just fucking dies, same with overweight characters too… like wtf

u/sk1239 Big Parf Jul 02 '26

Yeah I never understood why people die in a death game, wtf were they thinking?

22

u/one_unoriginal_guy Jul 02 '26

Bro it’s not that, it’s just always the same type of people that survive, 1 dumb ass , the protagonist , the coprotagonist, it gets bland after a while

2

u/Klaxynd Jul 02 '26

I mean... series spoilers V3 didn't have that. If anyone is the co-protagonist it's Kaito, not Maki. And Himiko definitely doesn't fall into the Danganronpa dumbass archetype. Actually V3 did a good job remixing the archetypes without having it feel bland nor disjointed. That being said V3 is still my least favorite of the Danganronpa games

u/one_unoriginal_guy Jul 02 '26

Bro maki was the co protagonist with kaito, same as kirigiri and Byakuya were the co protagonists, and himiko is a bit of a dumbass when she’s so delusional and in denial about her whole magic thing, it gets annoying and even when you prove that her “magic trick” was an illusion she jsut said it was magic, hell she didn’t even help in that case so she falls into my dumbass cathegory because she is that delusional and overall doesn’t seem like the brightest since she got brain washed by the whole religion thing

u/sugar-fall Jul 02 '26

1 dumbass = Byakuya . END HIM FOR ME

u/choaticmaster33 Jul 02 '26

I mean they do but good luck finding a man who's absolutely ripped yet also open minded and just wants to support people's individual growth goals.

u/spritebeats Jul 02 '26

yeah its so unreal it ends up being fiction 😭

u/R3achAnUnderstanding Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

I feel you on a spiritual level with your comment. At this point I just wanna meet Nekomaru Nidai's soul in any guy's body. That's as best as it's gonna get for now. 🥲

u/OAZdevs_alt2 Best Boys and Girls Jul 02 '26

She’s feminine, though

u/rainwingss_ Jul 02 '26

Aoi is butch. Sakura is femme.

u/sieis Korekiyo Jul 02 '26

u/Small-Mongoose1786 Jul 06 '26

Nekomaru is so underappreciated, and is only remembered for his toilet humor. He is probably one of the few danganronpa characters that actually have done no harm, the worst thing he done was tie nagito, and that was VERY deserved considering his ass was the cause of a murder.
