Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen Episode 5 Discussion

I know this is trivial, but am I the only one who's upset that tall!Saionji doesn't sound like Umi from Love Live! ? -_-

I loved this episode. A lot was explored, many things were going on, and especially the hype from Junko, Mukuro, Izuru, and Makoto's appearances, I loved it.

I was especially happy about Mukuro. Not that I favor her more than Junko or anything, but because we never really knew that much about her outside of trying to imitate her sister in DR1 (and if you played the game, you learn a bit more about her while she's in the disguise). I know a lot more about her personality; that being that she's pretty much just as crooked as Junko. The both of them absolutely loves despair, and they both love giving (even towards themselves as sisters) and receiving (even when coming from either of themselves). It's just that Junko prefers to give while Mukuro prefers to receive. No wonder Junko's the mastermind and Mukuro follows around, since because Mukuro's more masochistic, she WANTS to be part of the suffering that her own sister will create, and a lot more so than Junko herself.

Mukuro frequently nearly getting killed by her own sister gives herself despair and pleasure, as it gives Junko pleasure seeing the despair her own sister will suffer. The thought of Junko successfully killing her own sister and giving herself despair is also her pleasure, along with Mukuro's knowing that her own sister will have to go through such when she dies. What a crazy way in presenting their love for each other. They are definitely the Despair sisters.

Rambled on more than enough, but yeah. I loved it that much. Am definitely excited for the next episode.

JUNKO?!
JUNKO IS IN THIS EPISODE!!!



Oh man, i think im gonna have to touch myself.

First Junko makes an appearance, then Mukuro joins the fray. We also got Izuru being reborn, Makoto makes a cameo along with that background music that brings in the feels!!

.....

yeah, Im definitely touching myself later

Holy shit Junko.. and Mukuro. We actually get to see the despair sisters. Can't wait to see their interactions with the rest of the cast.

JUNKO-SAMAAAAAAAAA IS BAAAAAACCKK!!! WOOO!!!! <3333333
Best character!!

Goddamit, that narration style bit was hilarious, so was Mukuro going all "Kyyaaaaa! She's trying to kill me <3"

Best relationship. Too bad it's not seen in DR1 :(


Mikan, I love you.
I can't wait for her to see Junko!

Man...without any preview of next episode really make me anxious XD

Also..I wonder if the Lil' Ultimates will make a cameo :D

IFs events are canon only to it's own world but it's character interactions align itself with the canon DR:0 so no reason to dismiss that

IF events aren't canon, only the characters interactions..

Sorry, meant to say that they're canon to it's own AU world not to the main timeline

Again it's this man's fault for making Hinata into Kamakura...

I disapprove of their marriage. tanaka deserve to die for cockblocking.

I like Souda, I really do. But he can't top the awesomeness that is Gundham Tanaka the Forbidden One.
Plus he and Sonia has this nice yin-yang contrast. Tanaka has a dark aura, but he's really a good person. Sonia seems the most innocent and light person, but she as a mischievous (if harmless) person.

Btw, i skip the story and only watch the trial on dg2 so i dont really know of the character development but i dont care. you support yin and yang, which is positive and negative, i support negative and negative.

Skipping the story? Why would you do that? Do yourself a favor and find a let's play or better yet, play the game.
Btw, Yin and Yang aren't positve and negative. It's about opposides, and the harmony thereof.

Didnt i say i already watch the trial? im the type of person who watch it for the visual most of the time. idc about story,character development, or the meaning.

The trail is just a (small) part of the story. I really think you're missing out if you don't care about the story or characters. But hey, if you think that, I won't stop you.

Just have peace with the fact that I think you're pretty wierd.

So sonia find souda annoying and yet, have things much common with him?
If so, leave gundam alone being single forever with his four dark deva of desturction and his hell hound earring.

Yes! Introduction to my Ultimate Despair Waifu!



I really liked the fact that Imposter's personality shines even during his guise. During Danganronpa 2 he showed to be a much more understanding and compassionate person as Fat Togami which raised a lot of discussion how out of character it was for Togami before the revelation. He's truly a kind person.

And for those questioning Mukuro's personality. That's how she always was. We didn't see much of her in Danganronpa 1 but it was explicitly stated and shown in Danganronpa If that she was obsessed with Junko. She later developed feelings for Naegi and didn't want to harm him but she was still loyal to Junko. Mukuro was perhaps the first person Junko inflicted with Ultimate Despair before moving on to Hope's Peak. Personally, I believe the two feelings, her obsession with Junko who is Ultimate Despair and her feelings for Naegi who is Ultimate Hope, conflicted in Danganronpa If and her psyche compromised so as to not completely shatter by making Junko her enemy and protecting Naegi.

Also, I thought Hiyoko's growth spurt happened over the course of the two years she spent at Hope's Peak but it was only SIX MONTHS?! Did she get her genes from Son Goku?!

Exactly. ^

@Sirofcoffee As much truth you've spoken there was no point in replying to that person to begin with, he made clear enough that he has no idea what he's talking about.

That's true, I knew that.
I'm the kind of person who always wants to have the final word.

At least I've found hope in the fact that there are still a lot of rational people here. No matter how many salty or idiotic people there are here, there are also enough smart people around.

I hate the focus is on extra new characters like Yukizome. I couldn't give two shits, the bitch is dead. I would like them to focus on the original game characters.

LOL they animated Saionji's growrth spurt. Her voice is still annoying though.

The Ultimate Imposter looks so out of place in this cast tbh and it's fucking hilarious. I want to see him impersonate Nagito or Makoto with his delicious plus sized figure. At least, we got to see him impersonate Byakuya with his wonderful man titties.

The creator of Danganronpa has a fetish for body odor or something, particular female body odor. I don't remember any of the guys smelling bad in this series. My male cousin is the smelliest person I know. He smells like he was soaked in sale, sweat and urine so I'm guessing this is how Touko, Saionji and Mukuro smell like.

This was a nice episode.

So Mitarai is basically an otaku who hates everything and everybody except for anime? He HAS to be the murderer in Mirai-hen

On another note, NOOO, JUNKO'S GONNA RUIN EVERYTHINGMy poor bby

Finally things are getting interesting.

Finally we met Junko's sister. I was wondering since the first adaption how she looks like.

I thought that fat kid was Mitarai.
That ending...i wonder what they did to him :/

Aah I'm happy to see familiar faces like Naegi and Kirigiri's, even Junko and Mukuro. Everything's so nice now, this is a really good arc ;-;

I sure like the despair arc a lot more than the future arc I must say! It just attracts me more than the other one :p

Hmmm interesting development at the end there

Things are about to get serious thank god I can watch the next episode right now

The pieces begin to joined, although the begining of the end is not start!!! or yes?

SUper-Impostor!!! O__O

- JUNKO!! How I've missed her! *wipes tear* she didn't get much screen time in the first anime so I'm going to enjoy this, oh and Mukuro, it's nice seeing her animated at last.

- Kamishiro casually walking down the street... the heck.

- Looking forward to Izuru.

- They are still shipping Sonia and Gundham... I thought that farce ended in DR2... well, I hope it ends here too... quickly.

Things are finally starting to pick up.

I had my doubts while reading Zero, but Mukuro really seems to have a hard on for her sister. She does seem to love the idea that Junko would fall into despair if she killed her. We also got a Kamishiro cameo, God bless his poor little perverted soul.

Kamukura Izuru hypu tho!

IT's coming together !!!

lol at the tv.
lol at the posters.
Chisa walks toward the Reserve Course.
WTF!
Kamukura project.
Hajime got expelled.
Nagito still suspended after a half year.
lol at Jin trying to get Nagito reinstated. Luck is an important talent of course.
Dem files. Kyouko!
So happy to see Mikan again.
Peko oppai.
Holy shit! So that's when Hiyoko's fucking growth spurt kicked in.
Hiyoko is still an evil bitch.
lol at Gundham and Sonia.
Two Ryouta's.
Is that...Kamishiro walking by?
Who is that woman?
Dat explosion.
Junko is finally here. As expected. You know...because she wouldn't be there 1 year before she's suppose to.
Mukuro!
lol at Junko narrating.
lol at Junko trying to stab Mukuro.
lol at Mukuro getting off on Junko trying to feel zetsubou.
lol at Mukuro throwing the grenade out.
Anime saves lives.
Mikan.
Oi! You don't get to princess carry my waifu.
lol at Mikan.
lol He was being Byakuya back then.
lol at Mikan about to undress.
MAKOTO!!!! The GHOAT before he became the GHOAT!
Dat ost as Makoto walks in. DR1 nostalgia.
Junko was being Makoto. lol at Junko narrating. Dat drawing.
Hajime.
Those eyes!

lol Kamishiro walking by.

Finally Junko and Mukuro are here. Junko trying to kill her own sister was hilarious.

Loved the little things that reminded me of the game, like Sonia and Gunham together, Hiyoko having grown up and Ryouta as Byakuya.

Also, Mikan being lovely as ever.

Finished the fifth episode of the despair arc

-pretty funny how yukizome went into a fit of rage when talking about the reserve course job,yet after that we see her saying "it is already march. time sure flies" without a care in the world as if she was returning from a holiday XD

-so he told her to make sure her students wont cause trouble anymore. pretty certain that is pretty unlikely XD

-expected the class to be different and full of despair when she returned. glad to see it was still lively :)

-nice reference to Sonia and Gundham's "compatibility" in DR2 XD

-very glad to see once again how incredibly awesome my favorite DR2 character is! taking care of the animator like that :D

-the conversation intrigued me though. he says he started impersonating him "shortly after they arrived", which means he was scouted as the ultimate imposter (like the DR2 paper proves). thus,why didnt yokizome try to get the real animator too back in episode 1? since the school knows that imposter isnt animator.
also,he says he will need to change his current impersonation,but that was a full year before byakuya entered the school. i guess he was pretty much expected to enter it even then though.

-also,poor Mikan XD. glad she was happy at the end of the episode though :)

-FINALLY our dear despair Enoshima Junko enters the anime! this series is about to get ten times more awesome XD. Mukuro doesnt disappoint either ;)

-and the hilarity begins! LOVE the car scene with them! sweet sweet stabbing despair XD

-didnt get the "vision level 53000 deep space real estate guy" reference lol. somebody mind explaining that one?

was a pretty good episode. time for the arc of Junko to start ;)

Next year in school has begun.
Junko and her sister ,Mukuro appeared.

Oh shit! Things are picking up. Junko's showed up, along with the other characters in the first games. It seems Hajime's transformation is complete as well. Things are certainly getting exciting!

I haven’t been a huge fan of these anime so far, but this was my favorite episode of Future and Despair arcs yet! Firstly, Ryota was beautifully explored in just a few moments. Seeing him bullied by his peers and surrounded by parental conflict, escaping into the world of anime with a smile on his face transitioned to where he is now was an immediate and effective way to learn about him. It reminded me of a conversation Reckful and Dr.K had on dharma and making a game. Reckful had found hope through games when he went through difficult times as a kid and he wanted to give kids who were in his shoes that experience too. That’s what Ryota was doing and it was powerful. It made me genuinely interested in a new character for the potential first time in these two arcs.

Of course, him later explicitly telling the audience what we could gather within a few powerful seconds knocked my excitement down a peg. It may have felt like it was talking down to the audience subconsciously, to show rather than tell, and then tell us explicitly. But that’s just a nitpick.

The Junko and Mukuro scene was the other scene which made this my favorite episode yet. I honestly don’t like Junko as a character but she is such a centerpiece to the entire franchise and such an extravagant presence that I am interested in seeing her. The strong soundtrack on top of her narration antics had so much style. Then there’s Mukuro who I’m obviously interested in because of how little we do know about her. Quickly it appeared she was Junko’s first fanatical follower, finding the thought of dying by her sister's hand to be romantic.

I wanted to see Kirigiri more, hope it will. So this will be going to the main story I guess.

This was a very eventful episode; Junko and Mukuro finally made an appearance! And we got to see the beginning of how Hajime got into the main course! And omg Makoto standing outside the school again and Junko drawing Monokuma... Puhuhu~!

No Nagito this episode though... At least we saw more of best girl Mikan.
