Master Detective Archives: Rain Code - Blog Posts

Currently planning to maybe join a Rain Code Discord server in order to meet more people that like the game (also, I’m writing a few fan-fictions and would appreciate some insight).

Anyone have suggestions? I would appreciate any help given! 😄👍

A question regarding Melami: Is she left-handed, right-handed, or is she ambidextrous?

I was just curious about this for some reason.

(Images and other thoughts below the cut):

What do you guys think? I’d have to look at the gag manga again, but I’m pretty sure she does mostly hand gestures there, and she also uses both hands when doing so.

Here are some manga images as reference:

(Also, slight mistake! I mentioned watching the prologue when I meant to say Chapter 0. Sorry!)

It really is a fucking crime for Kodaka to manage to create divinity and beauty incarnate and then go “Yeah she’ll only be in the prologue” like what the actual fuck is wrong with you-

Here’s my current phone wallpaper, the original image will be below the cut:

Wishing a good day to all Melami Goldmine fans! (And everyone else too, I guess 🙄 /pos) Have a great day, everyone!

I don’t even have anything witty to say for a caption this time, just take this fjskshkssjskjs

Some late-night Discord thoughts, featuring Melami Goldmine (more head-cannons about her, too 👍)

Slight Rain Code spoilers under the cut:

It’s a blessing I get to have my very own Discord channel where I can yap about Melami all I want, I’m ngl-

Yo; I just decided to share some of my thoughts regarding my favorite character, seeing how the Melami Goldmine tag is currently inactive at the moment. If you disagree with some of my ideas, or you want to add your own, feel free to do so! I want to see what other people think about her.

(Also, I promise I used to be named #1 Melami Liker; My friends just changed my username to mess with me lmfao)

Headcannons I have about Melami Goldmine (Edited because I have more info!)

Spoilers will be below the cut:

Yo! Just wanted to share an idea I had in my mind before I somehow forget about it.

I’m not sure if people even remember, but a bit I used to do when posting Rain Code memes was pretending that Melami and the other Chapter 0 Master Detectives were still alive. I know they’re as dead as a doornail (as hard as it was for me to accept at first); I just wanted to mess with y’all.

So having that out of the way, I want to share an idea I have for Melami, or more specifically, her Forte, as well as its requirements and benefits.

Upon introduction, we see Melami tell Yuma that clothes that reek or are unfashionable are out of the question when using her Forte. While I think that’s just a preference she set for herself, I also believe this gives way to a deeper idea. I believe that Melami actually prefers to use her Forte as least as possible, and will only use it if necessary or if she happens to like the victim’s clothes. This would explain why her official description makes note of her intelligence, since she would prefer to make logical deductions regarding a case before resorting to summoning the victim.

As for the reason why I believe she prefers to use her Forte only as a last resort, I think it’s because she deeply cares for her body. We see how much care she puts into it by frequently styling her hair, using make-up, preparing flashy clothes for her to wear even in casual settings, etc.. And while I am aware this is probably just because of her hobby as a fashionista, I find it very hard to believe that someone who puts that much care into her body and its physical appearance would be okay with giving it away to a foreign entity so quickly.

This also leads me to a second idea. The mastery of a Forte that can summon the dead while using one’s own body requires mastery of two separate abilities. The first is the ability to manipulate the dead, meaning that Melami can see spirits much in the same way Vivia can when he’s not using his Forte. This would also mean she can interact with Mystery Labyrinths as an outsider without risking her memories being erased (I believe people have already talked and made additional ideas around this concept).

The second ability (which I believe is far less talked about) is the manipulation of one’s own body as a vessel, meaning that Melami can also set restrictions within herself to prevent the spirit she summons from taking certain actions using her body (for example self-harm, murder, suicide attempts, etc..). Melami deeply cares for her body and its physical wellbeing, so restricting the spirit she summons to only answering questions seems like a reasonable headcannon to have.

Edit: Also! Melami being able to control her body means she can forcefully eject any spirit that tries to possess her body without permission. At least I think something like that would make sense.

Are all of these ideas already out there? Probably, but I still want to share what I’m thinking, bounce ideas off the wall and see if anyone agrees or not. Of course we might never know if any of this is true, given how we only got to know Melami for a few minutes. Either way, I hope that Rain Code’s success gives way for more content regarding the Chapter 0 Master Detectives in the future, since I’d love to hear about Melami again.

Anyway, these were all ideas I wanted to get off my mind, before I somehow forgot about them. If you made it this far, then thank you for listening to my ramblings. Have these Melami images as a reward, and I hope you have a great day 😄👍

Edit: I forgot to share this after uploading, but she would also have one of these in her bag in case of emergencies. This just screams Melami to me 😆

She’s just a little tired…

Decided to draw Melami Goldmine from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code

JJK’s 120% panel but redrawn with my comfort characters (including Yuzu Hiragi from YuGiOh! Arc-V, Melami Goldmine from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, and Kirumi Tojo from Danganronpa V3).

I’m really glad on how this one turned out! I kinda decided to do this sketch just because I felt like it, and now that I finished I’m wondering what else I should draw. Overall this was a pretty neat panel to redraw 😄👍

W.I.P.S and original panel below the cut:

Melami Goldmine - Master Detective Archives: Rain Code.

…So. Erm… *walks up to the stage and taps mic* Melami Goldmine, amirite? *cheers and applause*

Yo! I figured to share some more Rain Code posts I’ve made in my spare time! Now that I look at it better I did feature Halara a lot here, but I’m sure you guys don’t mind. And yes, I gave Melami one more stupid joke for her to do, as a treat.

I don’t really have much to say for this one! Hope you guys are doing well, whether you’re still into Rain Code or not! I just wanted to pop back in for a moment to reassure you all that yes, I am still normal about Melami Goldmine. Until next time!

I decided to do the “draw your comfort characters as the Steven Universe meme” art trend originally from Twitter, featuring Melami Goldmine from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code and Kirumi Tojo from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.

I think I’m the only one who’s done this specific combination of comfort characters. Melami is obviously my current fave, as many have seen on my Rain Code posts, but I also really like Kirumi from V3. She’s among my favorite Danganronpa characters across the entire franchise.

The dialogue was changed because I felt like this would fit Melami’s character slightly more; She’s not into violence, so I can see her possibly leaving the dirty work to someone else. Though to be fair, I don’t really see her getting others to kill for her in the first place? Idk tho 😅😂

Also, this is my first digital drawing shared on Tumblr, so there’s that! Yippee! 😄👍

W.I.P.S and original tweet below the cut:

Not to get controversial or anything, but I believe that Melami can beat Goku. Wait what’s that? You need my reasoning? Well I uhh *a Q rushes past* Wait what the hell? Did you see that? That was so weird…

Rain Codes memes, Yakou Edition. Ngl, I’m a bit concerned that my memes have been decreasing in quality lately. I think I’m lacking more Tumblr and Vivia images, and since I don’t have TikTok I can’t easily access images from that site, either. Maybe it’s in everyone’s best interests if I don’t heavily prioritize my efforts in finding Rain Code memes anymore. Then again I’ve built most of my account through memes, so, I’ll think about it.

That’s all I have to say. Have a nice day! 👋😄

YOU DID AMAZING GGRREEEAAAAAAGHGHGH

you tellin me a shrimp fried this rice?

anyway i think he should've used coalescence to git gud at cooking

RANT: My Actual Opinion on Melami Goldmine (As well as a character study)

Ignore if not interested

This is not a Rain Code meme-post, but rather a small vent about Melami Goldmine. More details will be below the cut.

I’m not sure if it’s too soon for me to say this, but I assume to have built a reputation here based on how much I talk about Melami. I make sure to talk about and feature her in every Rain Code post of mine, as many of you have probably noticed. But is the affinity that I have for her actually genuine? I want to talk about that today.

First, I want to start off my speech by mentioning what we see from Melami when we first meet her. Back then, we saw Melami as a cheerful, outgoing girl who heavily liked clothing and reading people based on what they wear. Of course, she also had her Spiritism Forte, which would have most likely been one of the most effective Fortes in the game had it not been for its numerous restrictions. But we always saw that as nothing but an added quirk to her character, and nothing more.

However, this is where I want to begin my insight on her actual character. Now, this could just be my way of seeing things, but I wonder if I’m the only one here who sees her as a sort of cryptid.

Like think about it for a minute; A good portion of her actions don’t make sense at first, she doesn’t perceive life, death or clothing the same way that everyone else does, and she always knew more than she let on, beyond the outgoing girl that we initially perceived her as.

Of course, while Melami is not nearly as creepy or as foreboding as Vivia, she still had some degree of oddity to her that set her apart from the other Master Detectives, just enough for the player to think, “Yeah she’s definitely hiding something” in a doubtful manner. She had something off about her compared to everyone else in the game, and that’s saying something considering the colorful cast of characters we were given.

Like, not even the Gumshoe Gabs revealed much about her upbringing or how her Forte influenced her as a child; Much of it was left to the player to figure out for themselves. In retrospect, there was a delicate mixture to her between benevolence, glamour, extroversion, relevance, and mystery. It was a beautiful sight to see.

I don’t know, I just found it really cool how Kodaka explored on such a unique personality throughout the course of the game, especially in the more vital events that happen in the later chapters. Of course, I’m not gonna spoil anything, but damn; She was just, really really cool. That’s the only way I can summarize her, honestly.

Am I looking too deeply into this? Probably. But I suppose that’s what happens when you really like a fictional character. In any case, I’ll post another collection of Rain Code memes sometime in the future; I’m actually close to gathering 10 memes. So uhh yeah, look forward to that and thank you for listening to my little rant.

There’s an end in almost everything. Boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, tendonitis, etc.

But you know who doesn’t have an end? Melami Goldmine. That’s right folks: Melami Goldmine is and always will be forever. Never forget that.

I made some more Rain Code memes for today, and I’m actually proud of how most of these came out. And before people ask: No, I’m not trying to ridicule Halara in any way, since I understand how my memes can be interpreted in that manner. Halara’s also one of my favorites, but damn if they aren’t also memeable (not as much as Desuhiko, but still). And of course, I had to throw Melami in here somewhere, as usual.

That’s all I have to say for now, I think. Take care, everyone! 👋😄

I made a new banner for my Twitter account, which consists of most of my hyperfixations (not in order) and three of my favorite characters from each series... Yes I have ADHD, why do you ask?

For the Rain Code fans who see my memes: I’m still in the process of finding some for my next post, don’t worry. I just figured to share this since I’m proud of how it came out.

Melami would 100% make dad jokes despite not being a dad... Huh, you want my source? It came to me in a fleeting, mysterious dream…

Here’s some more Rain Code memes, this time featuring Melami’s stupid jokes and Aphex’s rage fits. I’ve also tried to make Pucci memes for her fans out there, but it’s been slightly harder for me to do so. I don’t know, maybe it’s just a skill issue on my part. I’ll definitely work on it.

As always, I’ll keep uploading more Rain Code memes as I keep making them. I actually have some memes that didn’t make the final cut for the previous posts, though I’m not sure if I want to upload them. I wouldn’t say they’re nearly as good as the ones I’ve already shared.

This is one of the best fan-art pieces of Melami that I’ve come across thus far; Like I remember my jaw dropping the first time I saw this. Melami Goldmine my beloved.

I think the fact that Melami actually understands Vivia’s view of the world (especially regarding life and death) is pretty cool, given that the two share Fortes relating to the dead. I find it amazing how Kodaka developed their relationship throughout the course of Rain Code, so props to him for that.

There’s also the little teases she often gave him for his unique sense of clothing, as well. God their friendship was so great.

As always, I’ll continue sharing more Rain Code memes as I make them. I’m considering on also sharing drawings in the future, though of course I’d have to start drawing again for that to happen.

I think my favorite part of Rain Code was when Melami stepped in to save Yuma and said “It’s Melami Time” then started Goldmining all over the Peacekeepers.

These are all the Rain Code memes I’ve made for now. If I have any more in mind, I’ll be sure to do a separate post for them in the future.

I remember having a great laugh seeing memes like these after I first finished watching a full playthrough of the game. I’d love to contribute to that experience for other people 😄👍

If Melami Goldmine has a million fans, I’m one of them. If Melami Goldmine has five fans, I’m one of them. If Melami Goldmine has one fan, that one is me. If Melami Goldmine has no fans, I’m no longer alive. If the world is against Melami Goldmine I’m against the entire world. Till my last breath, I’ll support Melami Goldmine.

Yo, this is my first contribution to the Master Detective Archives: Rain Code community, as well as an actual post of mine in a long time. You’ll notice there’s a lot of images of Desuhiko here, but don’t get me wrong: He’s not my favorite. I just find him to be extremely memeable.
