Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Well, well! Here comes the segment【Coupling Column】! The game of this title released several years ago… and now I thought it would be the best timing to feature it! Yeah, it’s the Ver.3 of THAT popular detective action game!”

 

 

 

【Coupling Column】Vol.25 Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony!!!!

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “What is the Danganronpa series in the first place?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

（Here’s a quick explanation）

The story took place at a school in the modern world, where only the students who have superpower were allowed to go. It’s a “high speed detective action” game, where 15 students, who went to that school, and Monokuma, who locked them in and forced them to kill each other until there is only one survivor, fight against each other.

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “The Chara I’ll feature today are the ones who appear in the third edition! I have written the column of the first edition so if you are curious about it, go check it out too! (The 1^st one is already made into Anime so it includes some spoilers!)”

●Saihara Shuichi x Oma Kokichi【Saiouma, Lie Detector】

 

The relationship of the two: The detective and a kind liar

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “What kind of Chara is Saihara Shuichi?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “He is one of the students who were locked in by Monokuma and the main character in Danganronpa V3. He tries to solve the incident with the main character (a heroine), Akamatsu Kaede, who is the Ultimate Detective and the super High School Level Detective…!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “While Kaede-Chan is cheerful and active, he is a little introvert and shy. That’s why he is able to see things from the different point of view, always staying calm, logically thinking about the incident, as a detective! He is basically a softhearted person, being unable to leave those who in need alone, ending up getting involved with a trouble from time to time.”

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “And how about Oma Kokichi?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “He is the Ultimate Supreme Leader and actually calls himself the ‘leader of the evil secret society, consisted of over 10,000 members’! As the ‘leader’, his physical strength is not that high but… he is very good at ‘telling a lie!’ He loves to see how people react after he lies. He is a trouble maker, always telling various lies and getting emotional (sad or angry) in the story!”

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “’What is their relationship like….? YES! They compete with each other in the detective part!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Oma-Kun denies the truth of the murder case, which Saihara-Kun thought with evil and good intent, which creates the new argument and gives them the evidence or the relation which couldn’t be seen… The argument itself changes a couple times but they end up getting the truth after all. The harder they argue, the closer they get to the truth… They interact with each other as the detective parts!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Some don’t like what Oma-Kun does and says because they see him being negative or evil but… that’s why I want them to play Danganronpa V3 until the end…! Especially, Oma-Kun’s character changes more as the story goes! Since he is one of the most popular characters in Danganronpa V3, I want you all to see how the story ends…!”

 

 

 

●Saihara Shuichi x Akamatsu Kaede【Saimatsu】

 

The relationship of the two: Detectives who solve the incidents together

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) What kind of Chara is Akamatsu Kaede?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “As I mentioned a little above, Kaede-Chan is the main character in Danganronpa V3 and a heroine as well! She is the Ultimate pianist and keeps playing the piano no matter what happens, ends up winning the championship on the piano contest! She loves the piano! She is cheerful and positive, trying to stay positive no matter what happens.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “She tries so hard to catch the culprit of the murder case, supporting with Saihara-Kun under the condition, where they are force to kill each other!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “In the investigating part, they sometimes get the evidence thanks to her positive action, while in the detective part, she sometimes get caught in a pinch, being too positive… But Saihara-Kun always makes up for that part and they seek the truth of the incident together!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “To me, I love to see Kaede-Chan raise her clenched fist in victory. I can feel her passion, being encouraged by her! Why don’t you do this pose when you want to encourage someone?”

 

 

 

 

●Amami Rantaro x Saihara Shuichi【Amasai】

 

The relationship of the two: ??????

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “What kind of Chara is Amami Rantaro?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Actually, Rantaro-Kun is….. a Chara, who loses his memory when the story begins and cannot remember what kind of superpower he has!! (The main character, Hinata Hajime-Kun had the same problem too, right?) In fact, in Danganronpa series, there is at least one character, who cannot remember his/her talent because of their memory loss and this time, Rantaro-Kun plays that role!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “He can stay friendly, cheerful and calm even though he is forced to kill each other! He is mature! Even though he cannot remember his talent, he stays calm and even looks forward to figuring out what kind of talent he actually had! … I’m actually worried why he can stay that calm….”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “In fact though, Rantaro-Kun and Saihara-Kun are negative to the murder cases and try to avoid having a conflict among all the students! Therefore, they sometimes disagree with Kaede-Chan. They are both lovely Chara who can make the savage atmosphere more calm and peaceful atmosphere…! What kind of talent he actually had will be clarified at the end of the story! I couldn’t figure it out since there were not many hints! (By the way, there is a scene, where he interacts with the previous Chara a lot in the experience version! So try the experience version too…!)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “……….. Well…..”

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “I bet those who have played until the end of Danganronpa V3 might want to tell me something.”

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “BUT! Please hold it in your heart for now. Because I was the one as well, who played Danganronpa V3 to the end and felt impressed when I finally completed…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saori(゜∇ ゜) “As for Danganronpa series, some people like it and others don’t but I think the Chara are so attractive and it’s an interesting title! Above all, you can never experience the unique system, where you can solve the incident in any other games so… try it…!!”

 

Alright now! I’ll see you all at the next article! Bye now~!
