Somehow It's Hilarious. Just Seeing Confused Dazai. And Others Too (except Ranpo Obvi). Yet Dazai The

I genuinely think Atsushi would get along with most of the Port Mafia.

Like he and Akutugawa have that whole, thing going on and still trust and care for each other.

And if Akutugawa is okay with him I think the Black lizards would at least try and find him fun.

Hirotsu is just like why can't you guys be as well behaved as Atsushi and Tachihara's like he just hissed at me! While Atsushi looks like the picture of innocence.

Chuuya and Atsushi would probably tease Dazai for his antics. I like to think if Kunikida hasn't already, Chuuya would show him how to throw a correct punch.

They'd be chill, probably pet some dogs together.

Kouyou and Atsushi would bond over Kyouka, how she's being doing and such. She'd probably tease him and he'd dish it out just as good back.

Which I like to think she'd respect, especially if she mentored Chuuya, and they'd get tea together.

She'd probably sigh at his bangs but go nope that's for another day.

Probably sasses Mori without realising it and Mori just laughs like no no go on.

Mori definitely spills some embarrassing Fukuzawa stories and Atsushi can't look at the man for the next week, and won't say why.

And just Atsushi is just that guy I think if he can somehow and somewhat befriend Akutugawa and Lucy, he can end up befriending others.

Imagine it goes so well that they're like erm yeah forget Yosano we want the weretiger plz to be exchanged.

Atsushi: Why would anyone want me?

Everyone: both Port Mafia and Detective Agency.... Who told you that?!

Why did the Remnants of Despair do that?

Spoilers for Danganronpa 3 (obviously)

I've made it very clear that I really like Danganronpa 3 and that I think a lot of the criticisms are unfair or misguided. One common criticism however stuck with me for the longest time. In Hope Arc, after Hajime and his friends helped put an end to the Future Foundation killing game, they proceeded to seemingly "cover it up." On the surface, this seems strange. The series constantly criticized Hope's Peak for covering up incidents, so why is this any different? After some time thinking, I think I managed to put together why.

At first, the video starts with the Remnants of Despair seemingly taking credit for the Future Foundation killing game. While technically, yes, Kazuo Tengan was a Remnant of Despair, he was completely disconnected from the rest of the people in the video and had no affiliation with them. However, it's the next part where this gets interesting.

Now despite what you might think, there is a LOT to dissect in these four lines.

"If the world were to be saved and reach a happy ending... Doesn't that strike you as boring?"

Obviously to anybody who has watched Hope Arc, this line is kinda ironic considering it generally has a pretty happy and sweet ending. However, what's important to note is that to the general public, there wasn't a happy ending. A majority of Future Foundation's leaders were just wiped out and the Remnants of Despair are still presumably on the run. So why would Hajime say this? Well I feel like the next bit of text should fill you in. "That is why we will once again dye the world in despair. The world needs despair." This line is REALLY interesting to me as it directly ties into one of the major themes in Danganronpa 3. Throughout Future Arc, Kyosuke believes that the only way to achieve true hope is to eliminate all despair. However, Makoto (and Tengan) believe that despair needs to exist alongside hope in order for hope to be meaningful, otherwise it's meaningless. True hope isn't blind happiness, it's keeping a positive mindset while overcoming despair. This sheds a completely different light on what Hajime is saying. He isn't just taking the fall so Makoto and his friends can move on without trouble, he and his friends are taking on the burden of despair as a way of atoning for their actions as remnants. This way, everyone can unite against them. They're making a sacrifice so that way hope can continue to manifest and have meaning.

This is shown again later in Makoto's final conversation with Kyosuke. When asked if he is able to carry the burden of hope, he mentions that the others are carrying the burden of despair. Now things are starting to make sense. Hajime and his friends decide to hold onto the burden of being despairs as a way to atone for their crimes and give the world something to unite against, choosing to sacrifice their image in order to help make the world better. The difference with Class 77's sacrifice here and Hope's Peak behavior is that Hope's Peak covered up incidents that were their fault so they could protect their image. Their motivations were entirely selfish and only to benefit themselves. Meanwhile, Hajime and his friends sacrificed their own reputation in order to help give the world hope in a strange, roundabout way along with taking accountability for their own sins. They aren't pretending to be innocent, they're acknowledging their own guilt and using it to benefit the world.

I also think that Makoto and his friend's reaction to the video is pretty interesting. They don't seem very excited, but more confused and shocked. It's almost like they're still trying to why they did this in the first place.

After a moment, they move on from that subject entirely. Byakuya tells Makoto that he did well and his hope helped in the end despite his refusal.

Despite that, despair unfortunately did take a toll on them. Even still, it can't be denied that hope did win in the end because of despair, further showing that the two need to coexist. Things may look bad now, but just like, always they'll get better. Makoto and Byakuya both realized what the point of the video was. In a way, the video was more like them taking accountability for everything they've done as opposed to just the covering Future Foundation killing game.

The former remnants finally head off to Jabberwock Island to continue their atonement, making one last sacrifice and carrying the burden of despair. I hope what I wrote can help you see Class 77's actions in Hope Arc in a new light. Like I said, a lot of people have criticized them, but in my opinion I think it's a very fitting and satisfying way to end their arc. (Now's the part where I make a "Goodbye Despair" joke.)

jackie kinda sorta halfway fucked travis once and now like a bad pre-realization hookup she cant stop texting him from the grave telling him all about her lesbian situationship and her bisexual best friend and how they used to make out under the covers and shit. and travis is just like cool. i love this drama tell me more

How can Jeremy be an ex cocaine user, hated for all his family, blamed for his brother’s suicide, had his sexuality exposed for everyone in his freshman year and still be one of the most “normal live” characters cause his partner is a frenchman who was a victim of human trafficking and sold by his parents to a mafia and sentenced to years of abuse and torture in a sports team cult like in US

"carnality"

I have one more Vestige Shigaraki annoys Deku AU, except I combined it with the Vestige Bakugou theory from Heroes Rising.

Anyway, everyone's a pro hero now, and Izuku finally figured out how to annoy Tomura for a change 🤣 worth it?
