Danganronpa Midnight: Lantern Lament (Extras Book)

Randomised killing game

Just like with ph, I used a wheel to make a randomised killing game!

This one kept hitting me with twist after twist that I think it warrants its own chapter cause holy shit I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

Also in this game it loosely follows the drm:ll death order the only real similarity is someone faking their death Shimura style and the only big difference is that chapter five has people actually die for real

Anyway, let's get started!

Right from the start this was pretty interesting as Satoshi actually was a protag for a trial, so seeing a whole killing game from his perspective would have been interesting in my opinion. Plus he already has an ahoge, so he fits that requirement

As per usual with my fangans, I always have two supports - first Ryuto and Mizuki in ph and then Hidemi and Satoshi in ll. and damn do Tatsuo and Akemi fit.

Tatsuo (before he died) was pretty much a mini support character with how he acted I even remember comments calling him a part of the main gang with hidemi Satoshi and Chiyo. Although that never came to be due to a certain illusionist, here we can finally imagine how that would work out.

As for Akemi (much like Tatsuo) I feel like he would've been a support before dying. Especially with all the screen time he got. But then Shunsuke was very obviously against that reality.

And with Kokoro as our antagonist, I can imagine that to be very interesting seeing as our Kokoro hasn't got a bad bone in her body except for chapter 4. Shunkoko still lives though.

And just like that, we have already lost one of our supports and our actual protag. Akemi killing CHIYO of all people is for some reason really funny to me cause I have no idea how he'd manage to do that.

Shunsuke being the Shimura of this killing game sounds like fun. And honestly, with his talent, I could see him faking his death very nicely. Since he'd be gone for most of the book so long to Shunkoko I guess

But damn Akemi can't make it past Chapter 1

I don't actually have much to say for this one except hidemi must have gotten pretty pissed after Chiyo died

However, I have a lot to say about this one. Ryoko being homophobic AGAIN /j

I can just imagine Satoshi finding Kenjiro's body before getting attacked and it cutting to Finn (our new protagonist.) So much for seeing a whole killing game from Satoshi's pov

I think Finn would be a fun and chill protagonist and that would honestly be a cool pov to write

Also, Shimura actually getting poisoned this time hurts 💔 free Akimura Angst I guess

This is just chapter two if Yukari won or something. Since wristbands wouldn't exist here, I bet she'd get pissed as hell during her trial

I still can't understand how she'd win in a physical confrontation with Tatsuo of all people though. But now all of our supports are gone which sucks cause I kinda love the bro relationship between Tatsuo and Finn

But oh well no more support for Finn

Now this one hurts. Even more Akihiro angst the poor guy can not catch a break in this killing game

I have no idea why Shouko would kill him. All I know is that it would be SAD

And finally, we get Shunsuke angst as he watches Kokoro be the mastermind. This would probably be an ai Kokoro and real Kokoro situation like with Ryuto and honestly? Seeing Kokoro all creepy and shit would be cool

For the survivors, finally some justice for Yuna! Shunsuke gets a chance to live too, and Finn can see his friends again- oh wait never mind.

Anyway, that's it! I hope you liked this random little au of sorts
