Don't Look Up Yokai Watch 3 Us Physical Copy Prices

The final chapter of "Chiaki survived her execution but is pissed at class 77B plus Hajime for leading the world to believe they were still remnants" is here, featuring Imposter, Ryota, Komaeda, and Hajime. At this point Chiaki's crying. She doesn't have anything special to say to Imposter, but she chews out Ryota for trying to brainwash the world and creating the device for Junko to use to corrupt her classmates, and questions if he really is as good as an animator or just uses brainwashing to make people think his animation is good. She tears down Komaeda's ideology, noting that no matter how much hope there is she will always feel the despair of being tortured to near death and her former friends turning on the world through their own volition. Finally, she can't even see Hajime as nothing but a vessel for Izuru anymore, saying "the man I loved is dead" and chewing him out for doing nothing as she laid there and nearly died and for putting the other students into a killing game for his own amusement.

oof this one is so much more harsh than the others

Ultimate Imposter:

He’d wanted to try to make her proud in the game…

Though he understood where he went wrong.

He wanted to make it up to her however he could.

Nagito Komaeda:

Nagito wasn’t sure if his mindset would change, but he understood where Chiaki was coming from.

Nothing he could do would erase what she went through.

The world could heal eventually, but she likely wouldn’t.

Hajime Hinata:

…He wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to repair his relationship with Chiaki.

Especially not after the decision to take the blame for so much.

He never should’ve entered the Kamukura Project. That wouldn’t prevented so much.

Ryota Mitarai:

He was shocked by her words, and had to imagine that she didn’t mean them.

…Though he understood where her anger was coming from.

He wished he’d never met Junko and never helped her the way he did.

One Piece AU where the pirates have two factions; Peace Mains and Morgania. (Reference: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro Oda)

Peace Mains: Pirates who made a living by hunting Morgania.

Morgania: Pirates who made a living by pillaging and committing crimes.

Basically a more slice of life AU with some major lore, with Luffy looking for adventures rather than One Piece and meeting new friends along the way.

Ace and Sabo followed suit because Crocodile knows that his youngest won't be able to avoid trouble. All three aims to make a crew consisting of Peace Mains pirates.

They basically travel around for weeks and for 2 months and then they go back to their hometown. The rest of the Strawhats joined but they sometimes go do their own thing sometimes. Somehow they're always nearby when the brothers get themselves into trouble. Is it fate?

For the Shichibukai, they're made out of the strongest Peace Mains and they're the top amongst the pirates. They control a large region and prevents Morgania pirates from causing havoc. Unlike canon they don't work with the Marines and aside from nicknames from the public no one knows their true identity, the only exception being Kuma.

Crocodile: He guards Alabasta and the surrounding area. As a warlord, he is known for punishing Morgania pirates to near death as a warning. He is known as Mr. 0 by the Marines due to the number nickname given to his underlings and the Desert King due to the area he rules over. He often appear without his head during Baroque Works meetings, so not even his coworkers know how he looks like.

Dracule Mihawk: Known as the Sharp-Eyed Man and the Marine Hunter by the Marines, he is known for working alone. He takes down Marines and Morgania Pirates from the shadows, his hawk mask covering his face. He lives alone on an island until he met Zoro and Perona. He starts to leave his island more often. Used to be a normal hawk when he was hit with a Devil Fruit power that turns animal into humans.

Gecko Moria: Doesn't go by any epithet, but he is whispered amongst the Marines like an urban legend of the seas. Not much is known about him.

Kuma: Was called the Tyrant and the only one who the Marines know for sure his identity is. He never stays in one place for long, but wherever he goes the people said that a big, gentle man helps them.

Boa Hancock: Nicknamed Medusa, all who laid their eyes on her become stone, and they all forget how she looks like after turning back. Lives in Amazon Lily and send out ships to help free slaves to the outside world. Hopeless romantic. She and Jinbe are friends.

Jinbe: Known as the Knight of the Seas. He frees slaves and destroy human auction houses. Marines are not sure if he's human or something else. He went to Amazon Lily shore on weekends for tea with Hancock.

Donquixote Doflamingo: Known as the Heavenly Yaksha, he always foils Marines plans to capture Peace Mains pirates. His brother, Rosinante is still alive alongside their parents. Rosi joins the Marines and along with Sengoku resolves to make sure the Marines don't do much harm. He works at a boutique belonging to his parents when not doing pirates stuff. Law is his adopted nephew and Doffy isn't sure if the kid knows or not that he's a pirate.

Sonia... I know your trying to be nice here but I would leave Ruruka be; she clearly doesn't like you so maybe leave her be.

I do apologize if I have done something to offend you. I am merely trying to make conversation.

No, don't apologize Sonia! That bitch started it!

Yeah, we didn't do anything to you! So don't start shit with us for no reason!

"Didn't do anything"? "No reason", huh? *siiiiip*

Let's do a little role reversal here. Say that I was super destructive terrorist that ended the world.

And then one day, I came to all and was all, "Oowoowoo~ I'm sowwwwy~ I did a wittle fuckie-wuckie!~ I was bwainwashed you see? Pwease fogive me~ Oowoowoo~"

Knowing all the damage, crimes, and lives that I might have done then. Do you really think you would accept and forgive me so easily?

.............

Didn't think so. *Siiiiip*

I don't know where you get off and think everything is going to be just, oh-so-fine for you, even if that brainwashing excuse is true.

You're dead men walking. No one on EARTH is going to want anything to do with you. Your only "future" is to sit back, look up at the ceiling, and let that electric chair fry every single cell in your worthless brains.

And I for one, can't wait to watch.

So, *siiiiip*, laterrrrzzzz! Hahahaha!~

*Ruruka skips cheerfully out of the room with Sonosuke following her*

..........

I’m physically incapable of taking my time on anything but i hope this looks nice enough to satisfy u

I would like to hear the essay about how hope peak is bad!

In order to understand why Hope's Peak is intrinsically bad, you have to look at the reason it was founded first off. Not for the betterment of talented students, but for researching them for the Kamukura Project which can basically be summed up as, to quote @prompt-master, who helped me with this, "unethical hidden experimentation of a minor with the interest of erasing his identity and turning him into a human tool." Pretty fucked up, enough to make the statement that Hope's Peak irreparably sucks on its own. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We also see in DR3, SDR2, and in THH that Hope's Peak actively covers up murders for its students. This includes both Syo and the whole situation with the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case in DR3 and SDR2, wherein quite a few murders were just...brushed under the rug by HPA. (There's also the student council KG, but IIRC they never figured out who did it.

Also, there's all the failed Kamakura Project test subjects. All in all, there's quite a few deaths that Hope's Peak has under its belt.

We haven't even mentioned the psychological effects of HPA yet, especially on the world around them.

First up, the normal complex. to quote Prom once more, “the normal complex is a term...to explain the phenomenon of how EVERY SINGLE nontalented character in the series shows some form of low self esteem regarding how normal they are. Hinata, Naegi, and Komaru are the biggest examples of this. It doesnt matter how special they are, they will always see themselves as normal and lesser because they were raised on the belief that talent=worth”. In a society where Hope’s Peak exists, this is just...how things are.

There’s also the exploitation of the Reserve Course students. Yes, Komaeda’s view of them might be an extreme example, but it’s very indicative of the climate towards them--someone in the reserve course will never be a talented student, no matter how hard they try. However, they can still graduate from HPA, which is still an honor--so people keep funnelling INSANE amounts of money into the program. And then they can use the reserve course students as guinea pigs--because who cares if someone untalented goes missing?

And they don’t even TEACH there. In DR3 it shows how the only real requirement is that they prove their talent at the end of the year. In fact, quite a few students just skip most of their classes. 

Also there’s the fact that Kirigiri is the daughter of the principal and it’s HER class that was given shelter. That’s like, nothing compared to everything else in here, but it’s still incredibly suspicious just knowing about Hope’s Peak in general.

Tl;dr: From its inception, Hope’s Peak Academy was not meant to help its students, only to conduct unethical research on them and exploit those it deems “untalented” to further said research. This is only, like, ONE reason it’s super fucked up.

Bada ba ba, bada ba!~ Ba ba ba, badum badum baaa!~

*Ibuki gets up from her pod, and starts singing to herself and also moves slowly as if she was dancing with her with her eyes closed…*

*Fuyuhiko and Hajime are both dumbfounded and nudge each other and make air noises to convey who should go check on her first…it’s decided that it’s Hajime who goes…*

I-Ibuki….?

Ba-di-di-da, da da da dum, dum duuum!~ Dum dum!~

*Ibuki motions as if she opens a door then continues walking a few feet…*

Ibuki…

La la laaa, la la la laaaa!~

*Then she stops and motions again as if reaching for something…then she grabs Hajime’s tie…*

Ibuki!

Huh-wha?

Oh wait, I get it now! There’s a costume party going on right now and you came here to get Ibuki! Why didn’t you say so?

Bwahahahaha! With all these Franken’s combined I’ll be the ultimate super monster that terrorises the village!

Ibuki wait! Just, stop for a minute please!

Eh? Wha-wha-what?

………Ibuki?

Before that, obviously!

Well I went to my cottage, took a nice long bath, tried to come up with a new song, then I took a mean nasty shit, then I bathed again, ran around my room to release all the energy I had and-

The night you went to bed, what happened?!

Psssshhhh….uuuummmmm….

Oh yeeeeaaaahhhh! Akane tried to fight Monokuma but Nekomaru jumped in front of Monokuma’s MegaBlaster and he got took away!

Poor Akane…we should do something nice for her….

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm-

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn-

Nope!

………….

Oh no…..

Post Game AU where ppl wake up to consequences

Misc Notes

The survivors wake up with all their memories. They wake up on Jabberwock island. Same building structures but it's clearly been abandoned. The only building not in a state of disrepair is the lab they were hosted in.

Sonia immediately has a mental breakdown and sequesters herself in her room.

Akane is too frail to move but mentally she's doing as well as you can hope. Kazuichi cries for couple of days but throws himself into making the island suitable for living.

Fuyuhiko and Hajime compartmentalizes the fastest and leads the group.

After months, Hajime is able to wake up the first person: Gundham. He then wakes them up in term of who's been dead the shortest time in the NWP. Nagito and Peko's mind been shattered from the physical/mental trauma so Hajime leaves them for last.

Sonia avoids Gundham because he wakes up without memories from the tragedy. He reminds her of good days she doesn't deserve anymore.

Kazuichi help Sonia a lot. It's ironic because this is technically what he wanted but now he's hates it. He convinces Sonia not to avoid Gundham.

Junko’s great and all but for me Hopes Peak Academy is the main antagonist of Danganronpa.

You’ve got the whole oh being part of the elite is actually really fucking stressful. And wow I wish I could do other things but my worth is entirely tied to this one thing I do.

Like we saw with Leon.

Then you’ve got them being a dick to everyone else. Like it’s one thing for them to be like oh you don’t have a talent our one school recognises as important?

I guess you’re nothing then.

But then they take it even further by creating the Reserve course. Ah yes let us give these peasants the privilege of being near us while also reminding them they’re nothing compared to us.

But also you know human experimentation.

It really hit home watching Danganronpa 3 and realising oh..any of these kids could’ve become Izuru Kamakura.

It’s just that they picked Hajime. Oh they frame it as a choice but no that kids fate was already decided the moment he was enrolled.

It would’ve been interesting if that ever got out. That Izuru Kamakura, was a Reserve Course student. That this beacon of terror was someone they all view as inherently worthless for being talentless.

Despite the fact that metric is one that only Hopes Peak uses and cares about.

I don’t blame any of the Reserve Course for wanting to burn the place down. The way they were instantly vilified the second they decided to rebel against the school.

Not only did they cover up the murder of a student but if this got out too…Yikes.

Honestly had the tragedy been less…colossal I genuinely believe Hopes Peak would be relieved by it. Sure they get some bad press but it’s one student, maybe one class.

In the grand scheme of things it changes nothing and they can all be discredited it.

Hell I can absolutely imagine a concept where Hopes Peak reveals Izuru Kamakura’s real identity and paints a narrative about this disillusioned Reserve Course student lost to jealously.

And despite the aid of the prestigious academy trying to help him, he turned into a monster. Even going so far as to bastardise our glorious founder with his name.

I can see them trying to wipe their hands clean of everything. Also I refuse to believe Jin Kirigiri was some unknowing man caught in the middle of this.

When he was the one running the place. And frankly I prefer the concept that he absolutely knew but tried to make amends with saving his remaining students.

With saving his daughter.

And being killed after refusing to give them up. Hoping that maybe just maybe he would be able to atone for the monsters he helped to create.

Junko’s also a monster that’s a fact but none of what she did would’ve happened if not for Hopes Peak.

And unfortunately only one of them got destroyed.

Why do you think Makoto using the NWP was the wrong thing to do? The despair states class 77-b were in was objectively bad and self destructive and removing them so they back to normal should be a good thing. Also I wouldn’t say what Makoto is doing with the NWP isn’t more brainwashing, it’s deprogramming.

I've talked a bit about my hatred for NWP and how it is used in DR2 here, but it really comes down to this:

Forcibly removing people's memories to make them better people is not the correct answer.

Forcibly removing people's memories and reverting them back to a previous state and then rewriting over those memories with new ones is not the right answer.

Especially when you take DR3 into account and that Makoto etc. didn't know about the brainwashing video or when the Remnants fell to despair, they're just making best guess scenarios and wiping out all of their time at Hope's Peak, which effectively means they are wiping out their memories of real Chiaki and replacing them with DR2!therapybot!Chiaki, which is NOT the correct answer, no matter how you slice it.

The end of DR3 is very good about this - you don't make people better by removing the bad thing. You don't make things better by removing the memories of your past, even if they're memories you regret or hate or don't want to ever address again ever. Those memories are still there. They're still important.

Removing memories is not an effective or even good way of deprogramming people who are brainwashed.

Makoto's luck kicked into full gear with all the stuff that happened in DR2 and the shutdown and getting the Remnants as we see them in DR3, which is not a result of them having their memories removed. They still have their memories and are able to recover.

And yeah. Brainwashing is maybe a stretch (it's Junko's word for it, after all) - but they are reaching into a group of people's heads and mucking around with their brains and making choices for who they want them to be and how they want them to be that way (no, no, you can't be Remnants, so we will remove everything that led to that development and make you into someone we want by meddling with your brain)....

Sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Not the way Junko did it, for sure.

Still sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Girl's got a point.
